Reborn in Pokémon, my background is super hard

With the clues found by Dr. Solans, Wutong and his companions returned to the second floor again. Since the strangely shaped stone pillars represent the numbers 1-9 in the ancient Pokémon text, they no longer need to run around like headless flies.

The simplest way of thinking is to pass nine stone pillars in the order of 1-9 to solve the puzzle of this level.

In order to save time, several people directly turned on the cheat mode and took Dr. Solans to look at all the stone pillars first to determine their order of advance.

The few people returned to the starting point and ran straight towards stone pillar No. 1. This time, the floor did not change until they arrived next to stone pillar No. 1.

Several people's eyes lit up, there's hope!

However, they did not feel happy for long, because after they took two steps towards stone pillar No. 2, a large number of cracks suddenly appeared on the floor.

Wutong and his companions stopped immediately, then sighed together and walked forward resignedly.

The next second, they returned to the first floor again.

"What happened? Why did it fall down again?" Xiao Ming said irritably.

"There should be no problem with our route at the beginning. The problem is after reaching stone pillar No. 2, shouldn't the route be 1-9 but have a special code?" Xiao Mao said thoughtfully.

"If there is a special password, the difficulty of decryption will more than double," Dr. Solans continued.

"No, maybe we've thought too much. The route should be 1-9, no doubt. The problem lies in the way we go." Wutong said, looking at the distinct squares on the ceiling.

The square stone slabs on the second floor are a bit too conspicuous.

Even when looking upwards from one floor, one can see clear block shapes, which is very strange.

If this is just for the sake of appearance, or if it was created out of the builder's obsessive-compulsive disorder, then why is the first floor just a plain piece?

Moreover, these blocks are too regular, and they are cut according to very strict specifications.

According to Wutong's experience, if nothing unexpected happens, these blocks are definitely related to the decryption of the second floor.

Wutong and his companions came to the second floor again, this time led by the confident Wutong.

A few minutes later, Wutong and his companions returned to the first floor.

Xiaomao and Xiaoming stared at Wutong silently.

"Oh, I know. I shouldn't have led the way!" Wutong said angrily after seeing the looks in their eyes.

"So tell us the pattern you have discovered." Xiao Mao said.

"If nothing goes wrong, these squares are the second clue. We have to reach the next stone pillar in the shortest distance." Wutong said helplessly.

"I understand. Let me lead the way." Xiao Ming said decisively.

Wutong and his four companions came to the second floor again. This time, under the guidance of Xiao Ming, Wutong and his companions successfully followed the decryption method discovered by Wutong and reached the staircase leading to the third floor.

Wutong stretched out his hand to test, and this time, the invisible barrier between the second and third floors disappeared directly.

The moment the barrier disappeared, the entire second floor changed. The checkered floor of the second floor turned into a whole flat ground, and the nine stone pillars turned into small caves.

The originally lifeless second floor now has Pokémon living on it.

The Pokémon population living on the second floor of the Phantom Tower is not abundant, with only Mandible Ants and Sandshrews.

Perhaps there are a greater variety of Pokémon types present at higher levels.

"Pokémon actually appeared! How interesting! This Phantom Tower is really worth studying!" Dr. Solans said excitedly as he looked at the suddenly changed second floor.

"If you don't mind, could you wait for me to search the second floor? Or you can continue going up." Wutong said.

Wutong's purpose in coming to the Phantom Tower is different from that of Dr. Solans and others. Dr. Solans came to look for fossils, while Wutong came to find the shiny thorny ball cactus.

Now there have been changes on the second floor, and areas where Pokémon live have appeared. Wutong must not let it go and must search it carefully.

After hearing Wutong's suggestion, Xiaomao and the other two decided to continue going up.

After all, the Phantom Tower may disappear at any time, so it is better to hurry up.

The third level still had a similar puzzle to the second level. With the experience from the second level, Xiao Mao and the other two quickly rushed to the top level.

Wutong, who stayed on the second floor, was looking for a prickly pear cactus of a different color.

The space on the second floor is not particularly large, and the Pokémon on the second floor live in a very regular pattern, living around small caves that have been transformed from stone pillars.

So Wutong finished searching quickly and didn't find any prickly pear cacti of different colors.

Rather, Wutong didn't see any third kind of Pokémon except Sandslash and Ant-Maned.

Just as Wutong was about to go to the third floor to continue searching, a sound of stone breaking came from above his head.

Wutong looked up and saw a black shadow falling from the sky. After rolling twice, it stopped in front of Wutong.

A gray, round creature that looked like a cactus and was covered with ochre-yellow thorns was holding a stone and staring at Wutong.

"!!!" Wutong was stunned for only two seconds, and instantly knew that the thorny cactus in front of him was his target.

Without any hesitation, Wutong gave the command directly: "Xiaobai! Spray the flames!"

Xiaobai beside Wutong shot out a blue flame.

The prickly cactus was a beat slow to react and didn't have time to dodge.

However, the floor under the feet of the prickly cactus broke again, and the prickly cactus fell directly and avoided Xiaobai's attack.

"What's going on! Come on, Xiaobai, let's go to the first floor!" Wutong saw that the prickly cactus actually escaped in this way and rushed to the first floor with Xiaobai.

When he arrived at the empty first floor, Wutong saw the prickly pear cactus at a glance.

At this time, the prickly cactus was still dizzy from the continuous fall and confused as to why it kept falling.

The prickly pear cactus looked at the ceiling in confusion, as if wondering how it fell.

And Wutong also rushed directly towards the prickly cactus.

Unexpectedly, before Wutong reached the vicinity of the prickly cactus, the prickly cactus fell again.

When Wutong ran to the place where the prickly cactus disappeared, the ground was already a complete piece, and there was no trace of the cave or anything like that.

"Damn, it's the fruit of life! How come it's digging into the ground!" Wutong said speechlessly.

Xiao Mao and the other two also rushed down from upstairs. When they saw Wutong on the first floor, Dr. Solance asked anxiously, "Wutong! Did you see a gray thorn ball cactus? It's holding a fossil in its arms!"

"I see. It drilled into the ground from this position." Wutong said, pointing to the ground under his feet.

"Chongshan, dig a hole!" Xiao Ming gave the command decisively.

The Sandshrew stabbed the ground with its two sharp claws like diving.

However, it wasn't long before Sandsandruff came back.

There is an invisible layer below that prevents it from digging further.

"Don't waste your energy. The prickly pear cactus didn't dig the hole by itself. Tell me what happened above first." Wutong said.
