Azure Star is also a Pokémon Master!

"By the way, these walkie-talkies are new ones I bought, and these batteries too, so you can command the entire battlefield in detail at all times."

Several of the walkie-talkies had been damaged in an accident, so Su Yi bought a few more when he went back to get the skill learning device.

"Thank you, this thing is really useful, but it breaks too easily."

After expressing his gratitude, the commander-in-chief handed it to a hunter who had previously used a walkie-talkie, instructing him to distribute it and teach other hunters how to use it.

Su Yi sighed helplessly; such delicate objects couldn't withstand the hunter's rough handling.

"Hahaha, that's why the simpler and sturdier something is, the better it is to use!" With a hearty laugh, the man who looked like a golden lion strode over.

Seeing the commander approach empty-handed, Su Yi was somewhat surprised: "Commander, aren't you going to participate in the battle? Where are your weapons?"

That said, among the founding members of the first fleet, the Commander-in-Chief was originally an excellent hunter, but he later withdrew from the front lines of hunting due to injury. It is unclear what weapon he used at that time.

The sword master is a hunter who clearly uses a katana, and there are scenes of him using it.

The dragonkin hunters used insect halberds, but no hunter insects were seen.

The Grand Master is also a hunter who once fought on the front lines of the hunt, but it is unknown what weapon he used.

But given his straightforward and outspoken personality, and his refusal to use projectiles, some speculate that he might use a greatsword or a hammer—weapons that rely on sheer force.

"Haha, I haven't done a proper hunt in a long time. I've mostly been exploring the wilderness. Carrying weapons and stuff is too cumbersome. I'll leave the combat to you. I trust you." The Grand Master laughed heartily.

"Alright." Su Yi was still looking forward to seeing the Grand Master show off his prowess.

As night fell, countless torches lit up the area around the Grand Canyon, and numerous hunters stood ready for battle.

The canyon was quiet, with only the sound of the wind blowing through the rocks.

The hunters slept lightly, always ready.

Finally, the long night ended, and the first rays of dawn shone through the sky.

Su Yi stretched and gazed at the rising sun in the distance through the peaks of the canyon, while the other hunters were already prepared and focused intently on the direction of the canyon.

Suddenly, blue-glowing guide bugs flew out of the hunters' cages and drifted aimlessly towards the bottom of the canyon.

"They're here!" Su Yi's spirits lifted.

The next moment, all the guide worms turned red and flew back into the guide worm container.

boom!

A tremendous sound was accompanied by violent tremors. Mountains collapsed, the earth cracked, sand and stones flew everywhere, a magnificent volcano rose from the ground, and an aging dragon let out a long roar.

The Commander-in-Chief waved his hand and shouted solemnly, "Operation begins!"

When we first looked at the concept art, the developers mentioned in a private conversation that they had imagined a scene where a large group of monsters would pass through the Grand Canyon like a parade of a hundred demons.

I wonder if this is the prototype of the long and tedious Night Parade of One Hundred Demons in "Rise".

Chapter 276 Organ Damage, Strange Weather

At the commander-in-chief's order, all combat personnel immediately took up their posts, with crossbows and cannons ready to fire at any moment.

"I'm entrusting this to you, Su Yi!" the Commander-in-Chief said solemnly to Su Yi.

Su Yi nodded and said seriously, "I will do my best."

As he spoke, Su Yi released the Wind Dragon and rode it with Dew Grass, while the hunters of the Fifth Fleet hung from the claws of the Winged Dragon and flew onto the Lavasioth, which crawled on all fours.

The team successfully landed on the back of the Lava Dragon. Instantly, a scorching heat hit them, and the magma fluid flowing from the volcano flowed like a stream onto the rocky shell.

The scorching environment made the wind dragon very uncomfortable.

"Proceed according to plan and split up!" Su Yi released Swift Cat and Ferocious Claw Dragon.

The Lavasioth has a total of four heat dissipation organs. There are three on its back, one of which is exposed in the middle of its back and is the easiest to deal with. The other two are protected in the rock shells at the front and back of its back, respectively.

The last one is at the tip of the nose on the head, and that heat dissipation organ is the most difficult to deal with. Hunters have a hard time climbing up it and are easily thrown off by the Zorah Magdaros.

Su Yi's plan was for the hunters to split into two teams, each led by a Swiftcat and a Ferocious Claw Dragon, to destroy the two most vulnerable heat dissipation organs at the back and middle, thus cooling them down.

He led the Wind Dragon to deal with and completely destroy the heat dissipation organ hidden in the volcanic rock shell high up in front of them.

He then returned and completely destroyed the hunters' cooling organs.

The hunters, who were aware of the battle plan, acted swiftly.

"Let's go!" Su Yi rode the Wind Dragon and flew to the towering volcano behind the Lava Dragon.

Within the volcano's rocky crust, there is a downward-sloping passage, at the very end of which lies a heat dissipation organ that glows with a crimson light.

"Try using the freezing beam to cool it directly first!" Su Yi commanded.

"Roar!" The Wind Dragon endured the scorching heat and opened its mouth to shoot out a cold beam of light that hit its heat dissipation organs.

In an instant, a hissing sound rang out as the cold beam of light fell on the burning organ, instantly stirring up a burst of steam.

"The effect doesn't seem very obvious. Should we first roughly damage it to temporarily stop its function before freezing it?"

Su Yi immediately released Ryujinmaru and Shoko, while Lucao took out the Elegant Katana with ice attributes.

"Scratching Bird, unleash the Water-attribute Rock Slam!" Su Yi commanded, while simultaneously wielding the Dragon God Pill to slash at the heat dissipation organ.

The bird scratched at itself, drawing water-attribute energy from the water stone pendant hanging around its neck. Instantly, a light blue energy rock condensed.

Under the combined attack of Su Yi, the scratching bird, the dew grass, and the wind dragon, large pieces of the heat dissipation organ peeled off its shell, the temperature slowly dropped, and small cracks appeared.

Every now and then, magma would spew out from the cavities of the heat dissipation organs, cooling the slowly moving lava dragon.

Seemingly sensing an attack, the Lavasioth stopped and began to gather its strength.

"Hiss. The Lava Dragon is charging up. Be careful of its sudden attack!" After a series of static sounds, the receptionist's voice came through the walkie-talkie.

Su Yi sensed that the Lava Dragon had stopped moving, as if it was brewing something.

After another round of attacks, Su Yi immediately put his companion away and hung it on the claws of the Wind Dragon.

"Fly out first!"

The Wind Dragon immediately carried Su Yi out of the rock shell.

In that instant, a deafening roar erupted, and the volcano behind the Lava Dragon trembled violently, as if an earthquake had struck. Countless pieces of rock were shaken off and crashed down with a thunderous crash.

From his vantage point high in the sky, Su Yi saw the team that had destroyed the central heat dissipation organ being thrown about, but they quickly rallied and continued to destroy the organ with Xunmiao.

The Lavasioth seemed to have exhausted a lot of energy with this attack and wouldn't be able to do it again anytime soon, so it continued to crawl forward.

Su Yi returned to the vicinity of the heat dissipation organ and continued his attack.

Gradually, the heat dissipation organs became pitted and uneven, and the firelight inside dimmed. The Lava Dragon let out a painful howl.

"Alright! Golem, use Ice Beam!"

The Wind Dragon used its Ice Beam this time, and its cooling organs were quickly frozen. The Magma Dragon stopped again and slowly swayed its body, causing Su Yi to lose his balance.

"Continue freezing, lower the temperature to the minimum!" Su Yi commanded calmly.

"hold head high--!"

The wind dragon used all its strength to freeze its heat dissipation organs into ice blocks with a crackling sound, but the surrounding heat continued to heat up, causing the ice blocks to gradually heat up and melt.

Because the space inside the rock shell to protect the heat dissipation organs is not large, Su Yi can only wait for the right moment to recall the Gale Dragon and then quickly release the Rathian and the Sky Dragon.

"Use fire-attribute attacks!" Su Yi succinctly gave the order.

The female Rathian and the Sky Dragon immediately unleashed their strongest fire-attribute moves, the blazing flames striking the ice, shattering and melting it.

Under the alternating hot and cold conditions, the cracks on the heat dissipation organs spread and enlarged rapidly.

At this moment, Su Yi gave the order again: "Rathian, use Giga Impact!"

The female Rathalos flapped her wings and retreated, landing above the sloping passage. Then, with a powerful thrust of her hind legs, she propelled herself down the slope, enveloped in immense energy, towards the cooling organs.

boom!

The devastating impact struck the cooling organ, and with a snap, the tooth-shaped organ broke off at its root and was completely destroyed.

Awooo—!

The Lava Dragon let out a painful roar, halting its advance.

At this moment, it had already entered the range of the first line of defense, and the hunters on the rock platforms at both ends of the canyon immediately launched cannons and crossbow bolts to attack the Lava Dragon.

Seeing that the plan was working, Su Yi immediately recalled his companions and rode the Wind Dragon to the central heat dissipation organ.

The hunter team and the Swift Cat worked together to destroy the heat dissipation organ to the point of cooling. Su Yi did the same and completely destroyed another heat dissipation organ.

"The first phase of the mission is halfway complete!" Su Yi rushed to the last heat dissipation organ without stopping.

The hunters quickly summoned the pterosaurs, which flew back to the canyon to join the defensive line.

Under the blazing sun, the heat emanating from the Lava Dragon's volcano made the Wind Drift Dragon extremely uncomfortable.

"Hang in there a little longer!" Su Yi encouraged.

On the canyon's defensive line, the commander-in-chief was using a walkie-talkie to calmly direct the overall situation.

"Once Su Yi and the others have destroyed the heat dissipation organs on their backs, we can launch the restraint rounds!" The commander-in-chief looked at the returning hunter squad and realized that at least two heat dissipation organs had been completely destroyed.

Its speed was so fast that the Lava Dragon had only just entered the attack range of the first line of defense.

"Good! It seems that the Lava Dragon's stamina is being depleted quickly!" the Commander-in-Chief said excitedly.

Beside him, the sword master sitting on the stool suddenly stood up and gripped the Rathian Greatsword tightly.

"No, something's wrong with the weather. It's only early morning, why is the sunlight so intense and the temperature so high? It's definitely not the Lava Dragon's fault!"

The sword master felt a long-lost sensation: "It's that guy, there's no mistake!"

Chapter 277 The Descent of the Extinction Dragon

On the volcano behind Lava Dragon, Su Yi was completely unaware of the changes in weather and temperature due to the astonishing heat emanating from the volcano itself.

At this moment, a crimson figure flew into the sky above the Grand Canyon and flew straight towards the Lava Dragon.

"It really is it, the Flame King Dragon!" The sword master excitedly took a step forward.

On the back of the Lava Dragon, Su Yi rode the Wind Dragon, heading towards the next heat dissipation organ.

But the Wind Dragon suddenly became uneasy. Su Yi didn't notice for a moment, assuming that it was feeling increasingly uncomfortable with the hot environment.
