Azure Star is also a Pokémon Master!

"Phew!" Su Yi let out a long breath.

Although in the game, Tobi-Kadachi will not attack hunters unless provoked, there is no guarantee that there will be exceptions. The distance between the two was just too close. With Tobi-Kadachi's agility, if it suddenly launched an attack, the hunter would not have time to dodge. It was quite a dangerous situation.

The Flying Thunder Dragon's four claws are covered with pads that can cushion shocks and muffle noise, and it is also very quiet. It is like a jaguar hunting in the dense forest, silent and still. Therefore, Su Yi did not notice its presence immediately.

Fortunately, the Flying Thunder Dragon did not regard him as an enemy.

After a close but safe encounter, Su Yi began his ascent through the tree-lined passageway toward the middle level of the ancient giant tree.

The ancient giant tree is hollow inside, and the trees grow into a spiraling wooden path leading to the top, like a spiral tower made of trees.

The trail of the scratching bird, tracked by the guide insect, was actually moving upwards.

Su Yi said in surprise, "The nest of the scratching bird shouldn't be this high up. This is the territory of the fire dragon."

"Would a scratching bird go up to such a high place as the ancient forest? What is it trying to do?"

Su Yi was completely baffled. The scratching bird had a low ecological niche and was cautious by nature, so why would it risk coming to the dangerous upper layer of the ancient tree forest?

Setting aside his doubts for the moment, Su Yi continued to track the scratching bird, but with even greater caution.

As the altitude increased, several pterosaurs perched on the branches inside the giant tree, and a large gap was revealed in the tree wall in front, showing the scenery outside the giant tree.

"Aibo! Come quick! There's a stunning view ahead!" Su Yi jogged to the edge of the tree trunk platform and looked out from inside the ancient giant tree at the distant scenery.

"Here it comes, meow!" Lucao ran over expectantly and stood next to Su Yi, gazing into the distance.

Under the azure sky, several pterosaurs flew leisurely, calling out as they flew. Below them lay a boundless sea of ​​green trees, with lush, tall thickets, clearings where herbivorous dragons grazed on the vegetation, open lakes, and streams winding through the forest. This vast forest contained countless different scenes.

Looking south, one sees an ancient forest bordering the boundless sea.

Looking eastward, one can see the Starry Sky Outposts scattered among the cliffs and reefs, forming a base made of large ships. The waterfalls flowing down the cliffs drive huge waterwheels, and the power generated by the waterwheels is transmitted to various places in the base that need kinetic energy.

Further east of Starry Sky Outpost lies the desolate wasteland of the Great Ant Mound.

Looking north, towering cliffs like thousands of stone blades and deep, desolate ravines isolate the ancient forests. Inside, surrounded by towering rock walls, lies a three-dimensional ecological structure that combines the coral plateau and the miasma valley.

Su Yi squinted and looked towards the far north, where powerful beings gathered in the Dragon Crystal Land, where the earth's veins converged, and at the end of the River Styx.

In an instant, we had seen about 50-60% of the New World's landscape.

Suddenly, everything opened up before me; the world was vast, a gentle breeze was blowing, and I felt refreshed and invigorated.

This is how Su Yi feels at this moment, like climbing a mountain peak and gazing at a breathtaking view.

But this extraordinary sight is unique to this world. The souls, stained gray by the steel jungle, are suddenly covered with a beauty as magnificent as this spectacle.

"Aibo, have you seen this kind of scenery before?" Su Yi asked with a light laugh.

"No, meow. I've always been active in the lower and outer parts of the forest." The cat's big, watery eyes seemed to want to take in all the scenery.

"I'm so happy, meow! I finally saw the whole thing! So this is the Ancient Tree Forest, meow!" Dewgrass danced with joy.

"Starry Sky Outpost over there, meow!"

"That's the Giant Anthill Wasteland, meow!"

"So the area further north of the Ancient Tree Forest is a completely different sight, meow!"

"Over there! Over there! And over there! What else is there, meow?" The cat looked at this vast and unknown world, its big eyes filled with curiosity and longing. Its paws twitched as it pointed at the scenery, as if it wanted to go to that unknown world to find out.

And wasn't Su Yi in the same state of mind?

Su Yi smiled and said, "This is just the beginning. I promised you, Aibo, we will definitely go and find out!"

"Meow!" Dewgrass jumped high, meowing expectantly.

Yes, this is just the beginning. The Anthill Stone Forest and Desert Oasis in the Great Anthill Wasteland, the Snake King's Remains and Acidic Yellow Springs in the Miasma Valley, the Coral Forest and Cloud Peak in the Coral Plateau, the Crystal Lands of the Dragon Crystal, and the Heart of the Ley Line.

A frigid ice field!

The isolated island of origin!

That day will come eventually!

Suppressing his surging emotions and keeping his feet on the ground, Su Yi once again set his sights on finding the scratching bird.

However, the strange route taken by the scratching bird made Su Yi hesitate. Above that was the canopy of the ancient giant tree, and Su Yi's current location was already the territory of the fire dragon.

"What exactly is this scratching bird trying to do?" Su Yi murmured.

Roar!

A terrifying roar suddenly came from outside the ancient giant tree. Su Yi carefully approached the gap in the tree wall and looked out. He saw a female fire dragon roaring and flying quickly towards the tree crown.

"what happens?"

Roar!

Another roar came, this time from the treetops.

An unbelievable thought suddenly popped into Su Yi's mind.

"That owl, could it be trying to steal the dragon's egg?!"

Su Yi was shocked by his own thoughts. How could anyone be so audacious as to scratch a bird? It's not like it's a "warrior king scratching a bird".

Roar!

Boom boom!

Above the treetops, the furious roars of the fire dragon echoed frequently, accompanied by the howling and exploding sounds of flames.

"Have we been discovered?"

Just as Su Yi was about to retreat to avoid being caught in the crossfire, a pale yellow figure hurriedly ran out from the passage leading to the treetop.

"A scratching bird?! And what's in its hand?!" Su Yi watched in disbelief as the battered scratching bird carried a huge egg and ran towards them.

Take some time to travel back to the world, climb ancient giant trees, admire the desert ant mounds, pay homage to the remains of the Serpent King, stroll through the coral forest, challenge the thirsty Flame Dragon, soak in a hot spring in the snow and ice, or travel to the ends of the earth with your loved one.

Chapter 9 Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road, Full of Twists and Turns

The wounded scratching bird excitedly clutched the huge egg and ran along the tree passage toward the lower level of the ancient giant tree.

Strangely, no fire dragon chased after them; instead, the battle above the treetops intensified.

"Something's not right! The wounds on the Skaven should have been caused by the Anjanath earlier. It stole the Rathalos' egg without getting hurt?!"

"What are the fire dragon couple fighting up there?"

Su Yi stared in disbelief as the scratching bird happily carried the fire dragon egg past him.

The scratcher glanced warily at Su Yi. Seeing that Su Yi didn't move and was looking at it with some surprise, the scratcher chirped, as if to say: "Aren't you amazing, scratcher?" Then it continued to run towards the tree.

Roar!

Whoosh! Boom!

The sounds of fierce fighting coming from the treetops startled Su Yi awake.

"Incredible! There really is such audacious bird that it actually stole the fire dragon egg during the chaos!" Without saying a word, Su Yi quickly chased after the bird and got away from this troublesome place.

"What on earth dared to provoke the fire dragon couple?"

"First, we can rule out Elder Dragons, because almost all monsters would avoid Elder Dragons, and it's not a land monster either, since the path I'm on is the only main road leading to the canopy. But the Scoutflies haven't found any other monsters, so it can only be a flying wyvern."

As Su Yi tracked the sassy bird, he pondered in his mind.

Will the sudden appearance of this unknown enemy pose a threat to him? What changes will its appearance bring to the Ancient Forest?

These factors would all affect his exploration activities, so he had to pay attention to them.

"Could it be a Bazelgeuse?" Su Yi immediately thought of this policeman from the New World.

"Emmm, no, the sound doesn't sound like it," Su Yi shook his head and denied.

The monsters' roars were all distinctive. Although Su Yi didn't remember most of the monsters' roars, the Bazelgeuse was the only exception.

Those who know, know. When it barged in carrying a speaker, it was hard not to remember its roar. That high-pitched, nasal roar was something Su Yi couldn't forget for a long time.

"Then what kind of monster could it be?" Su Yi was completely baffled.

Keeping their doubts to themselves, Su Yi and Lu Cao followed the scratching bird's tracks and arrived at a narrow tree hole passage.

"This should be the nest of the scratching bird ahead." Looking at the terrain that seemed to be gradually entering a nest, Su Yi and the cat became cautious.

At the corner of the passage, Su Yi peeked inside and saw the scratching bird place the fire dragon egg in its nest, then begin to select from several eggs of different kinds.

Su Yi pulled his head back, feeling anxious and a headache starting to throb.

"How can we subdue the Skaven while protecting the dragon eggs?"

That's right, Su Yi is really craving that fire dragon egg right now. Not that he wants to eat it, but he wants to hatch it and make it his companion beast. This is the closest he'll ever get to obtaining a fire dragon.

"None of the materials we collected could put the scratching bird to sleep."

As Su Yi was thinking, he suddenly slapped his forehead.

"I'm not just a hunter, I'm a Pokémon trainer too!"

Su Yi excitedly released the Chansey.

"Lucky!" Chansey greeted us energetically.

"Meow!" the cat responded cutely, waving its paw.

"Please, Chansey, use Sing." Su Yi said, recalling the Chansey moves he had seen in the [Patrol] section.

"Lucky!" Chansey waved and then started singing.

The simple melody, accompanied by a strange hypnotic power, spread out. The scratching bird cried out in surprise upon hearing the song and looked towards the passage behind it.

Karma?

The scratching bird made a puzzled call, then walked toward the passage next to the nest.

Meanwhile, outside the Scratcher's nest, the Anjanath sauntered over, sniffing out the scent.

Suddenly, a song came from a tree hole, and it sniffed hard with its tall nose, immediately smelling the scent it had been searching for in that tree hole.

The Anjanath roared excitedly, then charged savagely into the tree hole.

Just as the Scream spotted the Chansey around the corner, a loud bang rang out, and amidst flying wood chips, the Anjanath burst through the not-so-thick trees.

Wow! Wow!
