"Something is coming, meow!" Lu Cao saw the guide insect beside Su Yi suddenly retracted into the guide insect can on his waist, and immediately gave a warning.
Su Yi, who was walking along the stream towards the interior of the ancient giant tree, suddenly stopped, then stepped back step by step, with cold sweat dripping down his face.
A monster covered with light blue scales and white hair, like a cheetah, walked slowly from the tree trunk passage at the side on all fours with quiet steps.
It's a flying thunder dragon!
While Su Yi secretly felt that he was careless, he was also thankful because, except for the main storyline, under normal circumstances, the flying thunder dragon was the type of monster that would not actively attack hunters.
A man and a dragon met at the intersection of trees. The Flying Thunder Dragon looked at Su Yi with its snake-like head. It paused and stared at Su Yi vigilantly with its snake-like vertical pupils.
After seeing Su Yi retreat on his own initiative and make way, Fei Leilong walked out of the passage while looking at Su Yi. After he was some distance away, he shifted his sight and disappeared among the lush branches and leaves of the ancient giant tree.
"Huh!" Su Yi let out a long breath.
Although in the game, the Thunder Dragon will not actively attack the hunter, but in reality there may be no exceptions. The distance between the two sides just now was too close. With the agility of the Thunder Dragon, if it suddenly attacked, he would not have time to dodge. It was very thrilling.
The four sharp claws of the Flying Thunder Dragon are covered with pads that can cushion shocks and reduce noise, and the dragon itself is also very quiet. It is like a jaguar hunting in the dense forest, silent and motionless, so Su Yi was unable to detect its presence at the first moment.
Fortunately, the Flying Thunder Dragon did not regard him as an enemy.
After the thrilling encounter, Su Yi passed through the tree corridor and began to move towards the middle level of the ancient giant tree.
The ancient giant tree is hollow inside, and the tree grows into a spiral wooden road leading directly to the top of the tree, like a spiral tower made of trees.
The traces of the scratching bird tracked by the guide insect were still moving upwards.
Su Yi said suspiciously: "The nest of the scratching bird should not be so high. This is the territory of the fire dragon."
"Will the Scratching Bird climb so high up in the Ancient Tree Forest? What is it doing?"
Su Yi was puzzled. The ecological niche of the toad was not high and it was cautious by nature. How could it risk coming to the upper level of the dangerous ancient tree forest?
Putting aside his doubts for the time being, Su Yi continued to track the traces of the scratching bird, but he was more cautious.
As the altitude increased, several pterosaurs landed on the branches inside the giant tree. A large gap appeared in the tree wall in front, revealing the scenery outside the giant tree.
"Lucao! Come here quickly! There is a stunning view ahead!" Su Yi trotted to the edge of the tree trunk platform and looked out at the distant scenery from the inside of the ancient giant tree.
"Here I come, meow!" Lu Cao trotted over expectantly, standing side by side with Su Yi and looking out.
Under the azure blue sky, several pterosaurs were flying leisurely while chirping. Below them was an endless sea of green trees, lush tall trees, clearings in the forest where herbivorous pterosaurs were grazing on vegetation, open small lakes, and streams running through the forest. The vast forest contained countless different sceneries.
Looking to the south, there is the endless sea adjacent to the ancient tree forest.
Looking to the east, one can see that the Star Stronghold has built a base consisting of large ships scattered between the cliffs and reefs. The waterfall flowing down the cliff drives the huge water wheel, and the power generated by the water wheel is transmitted to various places in the stronghold where kinetic energy is needed.
Further east of the Star Stronghold is the desolate wasteland of the Great Ant Mound.
Looking to the north, the cliffs that stand like thousands of stone blades and the deep and desolate ravines and canyons isolate the ancient tree forests. The interior surrounded by towering rock walls is a three-dimensional ecological structure that combines the coral plateau and the miasma valley.
Su Yi narrowed his eyes and looked towards the northernmost part, which was the land of dragon crystals where powerful people gathered, where the earth veins converged, and the end of the Styx.
All of a sudden, I had seen 50% to 60% of the New World's terrain.
Suddenly, the view becomes clear. The world is vast, the breeze is blowing, and I feel relaxed and happy.
This is how Su Yi feels at the moment, just like climbing to the top of a mountain and gazing at the magnificent scenery.
But this wonder is unique to this world. The soul that was dyed gray by the steel jungle was suddenly covered with the beauty of this wonder.
"Lucao, have you seen such a scenery before?" Su Yi asked with a chuckle.
"No meow, I've always been active in the bottom and periphery 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 picture. It turns out that this is the ancient tree forest, meow!" Lucao danced with joy.
"That's the Star Stronghold over there, meow!"
"That's the Great Anthill Wasteland, meow!"
"It turns out that the scenery further north in the Ancient Tree Forest is completely different, meow!"
"Over there! Over there! And over there! What on earth is there, meow?" The cat looked at this vast and unknown world with its big eyes full of curiosity and longing. Its paws pointed restlessly at the scenery, as if it wanted to go to that unknown world immediately to find out what was going on.
Isn’t Su Yi in the same mood?
Su Yi smiled and said, "This is just the beginning. I promised you, Lucao, we will definitely go and find out!"
"Meow!" Lucao jumped high and meowed expectantly.
That’s right, this is just the beginning: the anthill stone forest and desert oasis in the Big Anthill Wasteland, the remains of the snake king and the sour water yellow spring in the Miasma Valley, the coral forest and the cloud-reaching coral peaks in the Coral Plateau, the crystallized land in the Dragon Crystal Land, and the heart of the earth veins.
The freezing cold ice field!
The island of origin!
There will always be that day!
Suppressing his surging emotions and keeping his feet on the ground, Su Yi once again set his sights on chasing the scratching bird.
But the strange route of the fire bird made Su Yi hesitate to move forward. Above it was the crown of the ancient giant tree, and the place where Su Yi was currently was already the territory of the fire dragon.
"What on earth is this scratching bird trying to do?" Su Yi murmured.
Roar!
A breathtaking 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, this time coming from the treetops.
An incredible idea suddenly popped up in Su Yi's mind.
"That scratchy bird, could it be that it wants to steal the dragon's eggs?"
Su Yi was shocked by his own thoughts. How could he be so bold as to scratch a bird? He was not the "Battle-Experienced King Scratching Bird".
Roar!
Boom boom!
Above the treetops, the angry roars of fire dragons could be heard frequently, accompanied by the sounds of whistling and exploding flames.
"Has this been discovered?"
Just when Su Yi was about to retreat to avoid being affected by the fish pond, a pale yellow figure hurriedly trotted out from the passage leading to the tree canopy.
"A scratching bird?! What's in its hand!" Su Yi looked in disbelief at the scarred scratching bird running towards him holding a huge egg.
When you have time, go back and take a look around the world, climb up the ancient giant trees, see the desert anthills, pay homage to the remains of the snake king, stroll through the sea of coral trees, challenge the thirsty flame-eating dragon, soak in a hot spring in the snow, or travel to the end of the world with your beloved.

Chapter 9: Enemies meet on a narrow road, full of twists and turns
The injured bird excitedly held the huge egg in its arms and ran along the tree passage towards the lower level of the ancient giant tree.
But the strange thing was that there was no fire dragon chasing down, but the battle above the treetops became more and more intense.
"Something's wrong! The wounds on the Scratching Bird should have been caused by the Barbarian Jaw Dragon. How could it have stolen the Fire Dragon's egg without any injuries?!"
"What are the Fire Dragon couple fighting against up there?"
Su Yi stared in amazement as the bird happily passed by him, holding the fire dragon egg.
The bird looked at Su Yi warily, and seeing that Su Yi did not move and looked at it in surprise, the bird called out, as if to say: "Are you awesome, brother?" Then it continued to run towards the tree.
Roar!
Whoosh! Boom!
The sound of fierce fighting coming from the treetops woke Su Yi up.
"Wow! There really is such a bold bird that actually took advantage of the chaos to steal the fire dragon egg!" Su Yi said nothing and quickly caught up with the bird and stayed away from this place of trouble.
"What on earth dares to provoke the Fire Dragon couple?"
"First, we have to rule out ancient dragons, because almost all monsters will avoid them. And they are not land monsters, because the road I took is the only road leading to the tree canopy, but the guide insects did not find any traces of other monsters, so it can only be a flying dragon monster."
While Su Yi was tracking the bird, he was thinking in his mind.
Will the sudden appearance of an unknown enemy pose a threat to him? What changes will its appearance bring to the ancient tree forest?
These will have an impact on his exploration activities, so he has to pay attention to them.
"Could it be an explosive-scale dragon?" Su Yi immediately thought of the policeman from the New World.
"Emmmm, that's not right, the sound doesn't sound like that." Su Yi shook his head in denial.
The roars of the monsters all have certain characteristics. Although Su Yi has not remembered the roars of most monsters, the Explosive Scale Dragon is an exception.
Those who understand will understand. When it came in with the speakers, it was hard not to remember its roar. That roar with a high-pitched nasal tone once made Su Yi unforgettable for a long time.
"Then what kind of monster could it be?" Su Yi was puzzled.
Keeping their doubts in mind, Su Yi and Lu Cao followed the footsteps of the scratching bird and came to a narrow tree hole passage.
"Should be the scratching bird's nest ahead." Looking at the terrain that seemed to be gradually entering a certain nest, Su Yi and Mao Mao became cautious.
At the corner of the passage, Su Yi quietly stuck his head out and looked inside, only to see the scratching bird put the fire dragon egg in the nest, and then began to pick from several eggs of different kinds in the nest.
Su Yi retracted his head, feeling anxious and having a headache.
"How can we subdue the scratching bird while protecting the fire dragon egg?"
That’s right, Su Yi is now very greedy for the fire dragon egg. He doesn’t want to eat it, but wants to hatch it as his companion beast. This is his closest chance to get a fire dragon.
"From the materials I collected, I found no method to make the tickle bird fall asleep."
Su Yi thought about it and suddenly slapped his head.
"I'm not just a hunter, I'm also a Pokémon trainer!"
Su Yi excitedly released the Jigglypuff Egg.
"Lucky!" Jilidan greeted with full energy.
"Meow!" The cat responded by waving its paw cutely.
"Please, Chansey, use singing." Su Yi said as he recalled Chansey's moves that he had seen in the [Companion Beast] column.
"Lucky!" Jigglypuff waved his hand and started singing.
