Chapter 207 Ancient Sword Leopard

It was a cloudy day, with cold wind howling and light snow falling.

The closer we flew to Tianlin Mountain, the worse the weather became, and the cold wind made people shiver.

Because of the patrol, Xia Yu and his team always maintained a low flight speed and a low altitude, so as to ensure that they could see the situation on the ground clearly.

I have to say that patrolling is really a boring and tedious task. It is not only a test of physical fitness, but also a test of perseverance.

The cold wind was as sharp as a knife, scratching people's faces painfully. A layer of frost also formed on Xia Yu's eyebrows, and his vision gradually blurred. He shivered with cold. Even a strong young man like Xia Yu couldn't stand it, let alone a little girl like Zhao Ruohan.

However, Zhao Mirou seemed to have gotten used to the cold weather and performed better than Xia Yu and Zhao Ruohan.

Because this was their first patrol in the Tianlin Mountains, the three of them kept flying and stopping. Every two hours or so, they had to stop to rest, replenish their energy, and make a fire to keep warm and dispel the cold.

This meant that they had only completed half of the patrol distance from the time they set out early in the morning until nightfall, and the remaining distance was more difficult to patrol because it was close to Tianlin Mountain, where the environment was even worse and the temperature was lower.

…………

"It is said that there are many powerful ice-type Pokémon living on Tianlin Mountain. Pokémon such as Snow King, Glaceon, and Ice Ninetails have all been discovered."

Zhao Mirou sat in front of the fire and explained science to the two of them. Xia Yu, who was standing beside her, was always unconsciously attracted by Zhao Mirou's figure.

Although he is an upright person, he is also an upright man. It is like you meet a very stunning woman on the street. You may not have any thoughts about her, but you will definitely look at her.

Zhao Mirou's figure is one of the best among all the people Xia Yu has seen. The last person who impressed Xia Yu was Xiao Wanyu, but Zhao Mirou is still very young and has greater potential for growth. She may not be worse than Xiao Wanyu in the future. When Xia Yu thought of Xiao Wanyu's fiery figure, he felt much warmer and didn't seem so cold anymore.

As night fell, the wind and snow grew stronger, the white snow fell and visibility was limited. For safety reasons, the three men had to stop patrolling and find a cave to avoid the cold.

The three of them sat around the lit fire, eating to replenish their energy and warming themselves by the fire.

Zhao Mirou had obviously encountered this kind of situation frequently and was no longer surprised. She had already set up a tent and prepared to spend the night there. "Even poachers wouldn't dare to come and poach Pokémon in this kind of weather. We can sleep peacefully, but we have to place a Pokémon at the entrance to guard the night to avoid being attacked by wild Pokémon."

"The environment in Tianlin Mountain is so harsh. Will poachers come here to poach Pokémon?" Zhao Ruohan asked with a frown as she looked at the heavy snow outside the cave.

Tianlin Mountain is at an extremely high altitude, with extremely low temperatures and thin oxygen. It is difficult for some Pokémon with weak constitutions to survive in Tianlin Mountain, let alone humans.

Even the members of the mountain patrol team only dared to fly around the outer periphery of the Tianlin Mountains and did not dare to fly deep into the Tianlin Mountains.

"When the weather is good, there will be." Zhao Mirou rubbed her hands and exhaled hot air to warm them. "Although Tianlin Mountain is dangerous, the rewards are also very generous. This is why although there are few poachers coming to Tianlin Mountain, they are all very strong. Poachers who dare to come to Tianlin Mountain are at least at the overlord level. However, even so, the number of poachers who died in Tianlin Mountain is the highest in the entire Tiandu Plateau Wilderness Area."

"With such a high mortality rate, why do they come here?" Zhao Ruohan frowned and put her hands by the fire to keep warm. "What kind of Pokémon is there in Tianlin Mountain that is worth risking their lives to come here?"

"Because the Pokémon in Tianlin Mountain are very talented." Zhao Mirou sat by the fire, the flames lit up her wheat-colored skin red: "The harsh environment of Tianlin Mountain makes the Pokémon living here generally larger in size and quite powerful. The weak Pokémon all died, and only the strong Pokémon survived."

"There are also powerful and rare Pokémon like Snow Fairy and Ivory Pig here. If you catch one, you'll be very lucky. You can make a lot of money whether you sell it to a trainer or a breeder. So poachers are like gamblers and keep coming here."

"In addition, there are also some trainers who want to break through their limits and strive for the Supreme King or even the Four Supreme Kings who come to the Tianlin Mountains to look for rare Pokémon." Zhao Mirou remembered the previous rumors and said to the two: "I remember that there are still several quasi-Premier-level trainers in the wilderness area practicing in the Tianlin Mountains. And it is said that the legendary disaster Pokémon, Sword Leopard, lives in this Tianlin Mountain."

Xia Yu was originally listening to the two girls chatting quietly, but when he heard this, he suddenly became interested: "Ancient Sword Leopard? There is such a legendary Pokémon in Tianlin Mountain?"

The Ancient Sword Leopard is one of the four great treasures of disasters, corresponding to the Sword of Disaster, representing disasters such as avalanches. The other three treasures of disasters are the Ancient Bamboo Snail, which symbolizes dryness, and the Bamboo Bamboo, which corresponds to the Bamboo Bamboo.

The ancient tripod deer symbolizes the crack of the earth and corresponds to the tripod of disaster.

The ancient jade fish symbolizing the lava sea corresponds to the jade of disaster.

Each of the Disaster Treasures is extremely powerful and has its own unique characteristics. In such a harsh environment as Tianlin Mountain, it is normal for the Ancient Sword Leopard, which represents avalanches, to live there.

"It's just a rumor, and I don't know if it's true or not." Zhao Mirou looked at Xia Yu and explained, "It is said that someone once saw an ancient sword leopard deep in Tianlin Mountain. Because of this rumor, there was a wave of searching for the ancient sword leopard, but there has been no new discovery. Over time, people just regarded this as a rumor."

When it comes to legendary Pokémon, Xia Yu listened very carefully, especially since Paladin is a Pokémon with both Ice and Dark attributes, which happen to be the two types of Pokémon that Xia Yu lacks.

"Can you tell me about that rumor?" Xia Yu couldn't help but ask.

Zhao Mirou looked at Xia Yu and nodded: "About twenty years ago, a quasi-king level trainer from the Pokémon Association came to Tianlin Mountain to practice, hoping to break through to the king level trainer. According to him, one day when he was practicing, he suddenly heard a loud noise, and then saw an avalanche. A huge avalanche hit."

"In order to survive, he released a flying Pokémon to fly into the air and avoid the avalanche. While flying in the air, he saw a white leopard Pokémon flying through the avalanche. This snow leopard had light blue diamond-shaped crystals all over its body, and the most eye-catching thing was its teeth, which were made up of two broken swords." Zhao Mirou described the rumors of that year in detail: "After returning, he reported the matter to the association. After that, the alliance sent one of the Four Heavenly Kings to explore Tianlin Mountain three times, but found nothing each time."

Xia Yu listened carefully, afraid of missing any information about the Ancient Sword Leopard: "That's all?"

"That's all." Zhao Mirou nodded. "That's all. Because it's just his one-sided statement, there are no photos or videos, so everyone says he is a liar and is spreading rumors."
