Azure Star is also a Pokémon Master!

Su Yi released his Steel-Armored Raven and said, "Thank you for your kind words. I'm coming to the Great Anthill Wasteland!"

The walkie-talkies that Su Yi provided to the command center had a communication range that was far from sufficient for the entire Great Ant Mound Wasteland.

Furthermore, due to the harsh environment of swamps and deserts, the functions of walkie-talkies, which were not high-end products to begin with, were greatly limited.

Therefore, the only intelligence Su Yi had was the trace of the Commander-in-Chief's grandson—the head of the investigation team—from a long time ago.

The Steelraven flew out of the base, over the pass, and into the Great Anthill Wasteland.

In an instant, yellow sand flew up, and a desolate scene unfolded before my eyes. It was hard to imagine that next to it was a lush and vibrant ancient forest.

Although this land looks desolate, the creatures living within it will tell you about the vitality of this giant anthill wasteland through their fierce competition.

Currently, Su Yi's destination is not the distant wilderness.

Directing the Corviknight to fly a little north, a wetland connects the wasteland and the forest.

Su Yi dismounted the Steel Crow and left it to keep watch in the air and on the ground. Su Yi rode the Scratcher and entered the forest wetland with Dewgrass.

"This is the first location. Hopefully, we can find traces of the captain so that the guide bugs can track him down." Su Yi carefully observed his surroundings as he moved forward.

In this wetland, countless trees rise from the water and mudflats. Due to the hot desert in the distance, the climate here is sultry and humid.

Su Yi, who was completely wrapped up in the Anjanath armor, couldn't help but break out in a sweat.

"It's awful," Su Yi said, opening the visor of his helmet to let in some fresh air.

The trees in the wetland are very lush, blocking most of the sunlight from the sky, making the wetland appear somewhat gloomy.

The pheasant carefully made its way through the puddles.

Several broken trees came into view, catching Su Yi's attention.

"We've made a discovery."

Chapter 180 The Queen's Greeting

The dense forests and wetlands are excellent drinking water sources for many monsters.

Many monsters come here to drink, so monster battles are inevitable.

Therefore, you can often see trees here broken and fallen due to the battles between monsters.

These broken trees, either partially submerged in water or exposed to humid air, quickly breed fungi and moss.

The broken tree in front of Su Yi had very new wood at the break point, indicating that it had broken at most a day ago.

"If we can find more detailed traces, we might be able to determine what kind of monster it is and be prepared."

Su Yi thought for a moment and then released Chansey and Bear Apprentice.

"Everyone, look around for any other traces."

"lucky~"

"Bah!"

Then Su Yi and his companions dispersed around the puddle to search for traces.

"Oh? This is a Rejuvenating Dew Grass." Su Yi lowered his head and looked at a Rejuvenating Dew Grass next to the puddle. There were obvious cut marks on its flowers.

"It must have been cut with a knife. It was a hunter. Someone must be injured, but we don't know how badly they are hurt."

"Su Yi meow! I've found a hunter's tool meow!" On the other side, Lu Cao took out a small knife used for a projectile from the water.

"Throwing knives, did a battle take place?"

"Beep!" Soon, the bear apprentice also made a discovery.

Su Yi and Lu Cao walked over and found charred marks on several fallen dead trees.

"Fire-using monsters... let me think... Rathian, Pink Rathian, Anjanath, Glavenus."

"Hmm, there's also Bazelgeuse."

Because the area is too damp and muddy, many traces have either disappeared or are difficult to discern in their exact shape.

"Lucky!" Chansey called out from the other side.

Su Yi walked over and found that it was a thicket of bushes, and in the middle of the bushes, there was a path broken open by a broken branch.

Was it done by human intervention?

"Let's go take a look." Su Yi crouched down and squeezed into the bushes.

The view before us opened up, the ground was no longer damp, but began to show cracked, yellowish-brown soil, and the landscape began to change into wasteland.

"Lucky!" Chansey pointed to the distance.

Su Yi looked over, and his pupils contracted.

“Thorns!” Su Yi strode over to examine the thorns.

"There are obvious breaks in the thorns, and many have broken into several pieces."

"These are most likely not spines that Nergigante shed on its own, but rather spines that broke off after the attack. What did Nergigante fight?"

Su Yi closed his eyes, seeing traces of flames, traces of hunters, and traces of the Nergigante.

Judging from these traces alone, it's difficult to guess who fought whom.

To make matters worse, the throwing knife had lost its hunter's scent due to being submerged in water for a long time, making it impossible to track with a guide bug.

"They've given me a real shock right from the start," Su Yi muttered.

The presence of Nergigante's traces means that he and Nergigante may be worlds apart, or they may meet around the next corner.

It all depends on whether we are destined to meet from afar or whether we are destined to never meet and cannot even hold hands.

Su Yi continued walking in this direction. The yellow land began to increase, the green was gradually swallowed up, and the surrounding trees began to sparse.

Rocks began to rise around, and weeds grew in the shadows of the rocks, swaying in the light breeze carrying a hint of yellow sand.

“There are no more traces. It seems that continuing this way will probably not yield any results,” Su Yi said.

"Caw!" The armored raven in the air suddenly cried out as a warning.

"What's coming?!" Su Yi tensed up, gripped the King Sword Swift Thunder, and prepared for battle.

First came the whooshing sound of wings flapping, followed by a roar that made one's eardrums throb.

A green figure flew straight towards the Steelraven.

"Rathian!" Su Yi breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that it wasn't Nergigante.

"Roar!" The female Rathian opened its sharp claws and reached for Corviknight, but Corviknight dodged with its small and agile body.

"Flashbang!" Su Yi shouted, while his Steel-Armored Raven kept its eyes tightly shut as it maintained its flight.

The next moment, the flashbang exploded in mid-air with a whoosh.

Upon hearing the sound, the female Rathian immediately turned her gaze away, avoiding the flash before the flash bomb exploded.

Su Yi said in surprise, "They're actually so vigilant?"

Su Yi then looked closely and found that the female Rathalos had several wounds on its body.

"Could it have fought with a hunter and been hit by a flashbang, thus becoming wary?"

In the instant Su Yi was stunned, the female Rathalos saw Su Yi on the ground and then let out a threatening roar.

"Madam, you ran into this yourself." Su Yi took out the capture ball.

"Roar!" The female Rathalos raised her head and spewed out fireballs with a series of booming sounds.

Su Yi moved swiftly, accelerating his run, and then quickly rolled over.

The fireball exploded not far away, and the heat wave it generated swept up sand and dust, which hit the armor and made a rustling sound.

"Howl!" Upon seeing this, the female Rathalos opened her sharp claws and pounced from the air.

"You've walked right into our trap!" Su Yi dodged with a backflip.

The female Rathalos missed her target and landed on the ground, turning her head to look at Su Yi beside her.

Su Yi and Lu Cao, who were already prepared, leaped into the air and, one human and one cat, slashed down with two heavy blows.

Stab it!

Wipe it!

One electric and one ice-based energy burst forth on the female Rathian's head with a slash, causing it to growl and take a step back.

As it roared and regrouped, facing Su Yi, the Steel-Armored Raven swooped down from the sky, landing a heavy swoop on its head.

With a loud thud, although the Corviknight was smaller than the monster, its attack power was not to be underestimated. The female Rathian let out a painful howl and shook its head.

At this moment, Corviknight used its metal claws to firmly grip the Rathian's head, flapping its wings to stabilize itself while pecking wildly at the Rathian's head.

"Well done, Steel-armored Raven!" Su Yi exclaimed, wondering if this move was learned from the Black Wolf Bird.

At the same time, Su Yi and Lu Cao pressed forward again, swinging their weapons in succession.

Roar!

The female Rathalos roared, flapped its wings violently, and flew backward to escape the Corviknight's entanglement.

But a vicious claw lunged at you the next moment.

Brush it!

A gruesome wound appeared amidst the green scales. The female Rathalos took a few steps back, glaring at the wound with fury.

The Corviknight took to the air again, waiting for its chance to strike. Su Yi and Lu Cao picked up their weapons and assumed fighting stances, while the Odogaron bared its teeth and glared menacingly from the side.

"Let's not waste any more time, let's finish this quickly!" Su Yi took out the Swift Cat's Capture Ball and was about to release it.

Unexpectedly, the female Rathalos retreated and suddenly spewed out a series of fireballs, kicking up clouds of dust, followed by the sound of its wings flapping.

"What...?" Su Yi swept away the dust and found that the female Rathalos had already taken flight and quickly flew away from here without hesitation.

"Ah..." Su Yi was a little stunned. They actually ran away so decisively. He hadn't even released Xunmiao yet.

Moreover, that set of operations looked so smooth and fluid, it must have been used more than once.

"What exactly happened to the female Rathalos?"
