Azure Star is also a Pokémon Master!

"It says this is a Barroth's egg," Lucao translated.

"You managed to steal this too?" Su Yi was somewhat surprised, because like the Fire Dragon, the Sand Dragon is a monster that can cooperate with its male and female partners to raise its young.

Generally, males are responsible for patrolling and defending against enemies, while females are responsible for protecting the eggs. Scratches should rarely have this opportunity.

Could it be that Mudfish Dragon and Sand Dragon fought, and Scratcher Dragon benefited?

The scratching bird thought for a moment and said something, while the dew grass translated from the side.

During the breeding season, the Sand Dragon would build a mound and lay 10-20 eggs inside, making the nest very conspicuous.

Furthermore, the activity of the sand dragon is very regular. At a certain time of day, it takes a mud bath and rests in the mud. The frequency will increase when the weather is hot, so there is a chance if you look for the right time.

Of course, this requires patience and observation skills.

"Perhaps this is the survival strategy of the scratching bird," Su Yi couldn't help but sigh, the scratching bird really has maxed out its egg-stealing talent.

Su Yi picked up the Earth Dragon's egg and placed it in his [Items] inventory. He didn't plan to put it in his [Companion Beast] to wait for it to hatch, because Su Yi really didn't lack this combat power.

He plans to place these eggs in an item where time has stopped, and then hatch them and release them into the environment once he has his own territory.

"Is there any more?" Su Yi asked expectantly as he dug deeper.

The Skaven, held down by the Odogaron, was in tears: Stop digging! Stop digging! The landlord's family has no surplus grain!

"Haha! There really is one! What kind of egg is this?" Su Yi saw a piece of yellowish-brown eggshell.

However, as Su Yi dug, he fell silent. The egg was huge. As the scratching bird continued to dig, it finally brought out the enormous egg.

This egg is much larger than the dragon egg, with a length of about 1.2 meters. Even a 3.4-meter-tall eagle would find it huge when it hugs it.

"Could this egg be..." Su Yi murmured, a guess forming in his mind. He continuously integrated the information in his mind and tried to connect them.

A black-horned dragon wanders the rocky hills as if searching for something, while a female Rathalos immediately chases back to its nest after losing the scent of her cub.

The Black Diablos's unwavering gaze upon the rocky hills, and the Rathian's sorrow upon seeing its empty nest.

A black-horned dragon furiously hunts down any living creature, while a female Rathalos fights desperately to reclaim her child.

These two are different, yet remarkably similar.

"So that's how it is? Is that really how it is?" Su Yi looked at the egg that the scratching bird was holding and immediately understood the strange behavior of the tempered black horned dragon.

Although it remains to be confirmed, Su Yi's intuition tells him that the truth is very close to his guess.

"Actually, it's simple to verify."

Su Yi took out a capture ball, tossed it, and smiled at the tarantula, "If I call your name, will you dare to answer?"

After some effort, Su Yi subdued the scratching bird and received a positive answer from it.

"You two, one dared to steal a fire dragon egg, and the other dared to steal a horned dragon egg, you're truly a pair of hidden dragons and phoenix chicks!" Su Yi pointed at the two scratching birds and exclaimed.

Chapter 198 The Light of Fireflies, the Shadow of Dragons

Su Yi walked out of the scratching bird's cave, looked at the sky gradually darkening into night, and let out a long breath.

The mystery of the Tempered Black Diablos's lingering presence has been solved, and a precious Diablos egg has been obtained. All that remains is to hunt the Tempered Black Diablos.

With the discovery of the tarantula that had stolen the horned dragon's egg, the Black Horned Dragon's nest was no longer a difficult search, a stroke of good fortune.

Su Yi teleported back to the cave camp, intending to tidy up properly first.

And this nest, perhaps in the future, will be inhabited by other dragons and phoenixes—no, I mean, scratching birds.

"Get this done properly!" Su Yi said, hands on his hips, directing the scratching bird to move rocks and stack them into a stove, oven, and other facilities.

Su Yi and Lu Cao tidied up the tent, and only then did it look like a campsite.

After finishing all that, Su Yi simply prepared some food for everyone, thus solving a simple dinner problem.

Of course, a bowl of steamed egg custard was also prepared for the owl; it couldn't possibly starve to death.

The tarantula held a stainless steel bowl and ate the steamed egg custard with gusto, its eyes brimming with tears.

Scratching Bird: Although you injured me and took all my food, you treated my wounds and gave me food afterward. You're actually a pretty nice person.

Looking at the bird that seemed to be treating this as its last meal, Su Yi said in a teasing tone, "Bird, do you know, where I'm from, there's a kind of food that's meant to satisfy the dying, called 'last meal'."

"Whoa?!" The bird lifted its head from its food bowl, its beak smeared with crumbs of egg custard, looking utterly dumbfounded. The stainless steel bowl in its arms trembled with its claws and fell to the ground with a clatter, then rattled and clattered until it came to a stop.

"Haha, just kidding." Su Yi laughed heartily.

This tarantula, you could say it's timid, yet it steals horned dragon eggs; you could also say it's bold, yet upon seeing Su Yi twice, even though Su Yi was clearly much shorter than it, its first reaction was to scream and run away.

"Waaaah." The senior scratching bird patted the scratching bird's back, calmly letting it eat in peace.

Scratching Bird: Friend, don't worry, here we have plenty to eat every day.

The tarantula, still shaken, picked up the stainless steel bowl and continued eating, as if afraid this was its last meal.

Su Yi stroked his chin and said, "You two are both 'scratching birds,' it'll be hard to call you by name. How about this, I'll give you a name."

Su Yi looked up at the bird that had raised its head and was looking over, its mouth covered in crumbs, and said, "How about we call you Egg Custard?"

"Gah." The egg custard tilted its head, accepting its name with some novelty.

"Gah!" The scratching bird came closer, indicating that it also wanted a name.

Su Yi was now in a bit of a predicament. He said, "I'm used to the bird-scratching habit, and it's really hard for me to change it."

"Besides, calling me Scratcher is actually not bad. Moreover, it's not that having a name makes someone unique; the experience I had with you is what makes me unique."

Su Yi grinned and vigorously rubbed the ornamental feathers on the top of the scratching bird's head.

"Waaaah~" The bird happily rubbed its beak against Su Yi's hand.

Watching this scene, Egg Custard tilted its head, somewhat puzzled as to why the person leading the various monsters liked it so much.

As night fell, Su Yi stretched and chuckled, "Lu Cao, let's go."

"Where are you going so late at night, meow?" Lucao asked, puzzled.

Su Yi said expectantly, "The unique beauty of the Giant Ant Mound Wasteland can only be seen at night."

"I want to see the cat!" Lucao hopped and skipped.

Su Yi and Lu Cao packed their things, mounted Steel-Armored Ravens, and flew towards the eastern desert.

A cool desert breeze blew through the night, and the Steel Raven soared leisurely in the night sky. Su Yi took off his helmet and felt the evening breeze blowing in his face.

The land beneath our feet was gradually covered by desert, with only scattered patches of green on the vast sandy ground.

Apart from some rocks, ant mounds of various sizes began to appear, and soon a tranquil and beautiful scene unfolded on the wasteland.

A massive, towering ant mound stands amidst a cluster of other ant mounds.

And on these numerous ant mounds, patches of luminous green light shone, with specks of fireflies fluttering around them.

"Maga..." The Steel-Armored Raven glided with outstretched wings, its eyes fixed on the anthill that resembled a neon-lit skyscraper.

"What kind of cat is this?" Luca asked, her eyes wide with shock.

"This is the mound of transporting ants, and the fluorescence on it is the light emitted by the larvae of the flashing winged beetle, which is intended to attract and prey on the winged ants."

Su Yi said, "It is said that all the flashing winged insects in the New World come from here."

Flashwing beetles are environmental organisms that can be found throughout the New World.

They usually fly together in groups, forming a golden ball of light. When impacted, they burst into a flash that is identical to a flashbang, capable of blinding large monsters. They are wild flashbangs.

The flashing winged beetles that were scattered by the impact will soon gather together again.

“Those ants that are almost everywhere in the wasteland are the true masters of the Great Ant Mound Wasteland,” Su Yi sighed.

These towering ant mounds have undergone countless years of repairs and restorations to become the temple-like sight they are today.

And what kind of enormous ant kingdom lies beneath this?

After Su Yi finished his sigh, he said, "Steelarmored Raven, land."

After landing in the desert, Su Yi laid out a picnic blanket, released his Pokémon, took out some snacks and drinks, and finally lay down on the blanket to admire the glowing wormhole and the clear night sky.

The Rotom phone floated out and happily took pictures.

"Woo." The burning insect crawled onto Su Yi's stomach and nuzzled him.

Su Yi stroked the burning insect's warm, furry body and smiled, "Thanks, it's getting a bit chilly in the evening."

Chansey and Corviknight quietly ate their snacks and enjoyed the night view, while Kubrick and Dewgrass ran off to play nearby.

A moment later, Lu Cao and Xiong's apprentice came running over, each carrying something.

"Su Yi Miao! It's a watermelon!" Lu Cao held up the small watermelon.

"Watermelons?" Su Yi sat up and looked at the "watermelons." They were small, patterned, and a lighter color.

Su Yi immediately remembered that there were indeed some watermelons distributed in the desert area in the game.

"However, I heard that watermelons from the desert are probably inedible," Su Yi said, splitting the watermelon open with a knife.

Sure enough, there was no red flesh inside, but a green core with white markings.

Dewdrop said dejectedly, "It doesn't look appetizing, meow."

"Come on, have some drinks and snacks," Su Yi said with a smile.

Just as they were enjoying the unique scenery, a rumbling sound came from the depths of the northern desert, near the Grand Canyon.

"That's it! The Lava Dragon!" Su Yi picked up his binoculars and looked.

A giant dragon carrying a volcano emerged from the ground and headed towards the Grand Canyon.

"Is the Lavasioth heading to the Grand Canyon? That means the first Lavasioth capture operation is not far off."

Su Yi thought for a moment, then recalled everyone, and rode his Steel-Armored Raven towards the Magma Dragon.

Chapter 199 The Hunt Begins

Lava Dragon walked step by step toward the Grand Canyon, crushing the huge rock layers that blocked its way and pushing down the tall rock mountains wherever it went.

It was truly a scene of earth-shaking tremors and landslides.

Su Yi rode the Steel-Armored Raven, flying through the air and looking down at the Lava Dragon. The lava on its back looked like crimson streams in the darkness.
