The impact of these technologies and capabilities will be even more far-reaching.
"It's getting late. We've arranged a place for you to rest. If you need any help, we can help." The team leader said slowly.
"Can you support us with some weapons and equipment?" Su Yi asked.
The head of the regiment nodded and said, "As for weapons and equipment, we have some unused ones here, but they are all standard equipment. If you need them, you can pick some and use them."
"Thank you very much." Su Yi thanked.
"Master Yuanye knows where it is."
"Follow me." said Master Yuanye.
On the lower level of the airship, inside the storage room.
Master Yuanye pointed at the iron weapons and equipment on the shelf and said, "These are all we have. There are not many hunters in the research base, and these are just for backup."
"Lucao, please use a weapon that suits you for now." Su Yi said to Lucao.
"I understand, meow." Lucao turned around and chose a weapon that suits her.
"What? Do you want to become an official hunter?" Master Yuanye asked as he looked back and forth between several weapons.
Su Yi nodded: "Although I haven't received any systematic training, I don't want to be completely defenseless."
Master Yuanye asked, "Have you ever come into contact with hunter weapons before?"
"I've touched it, but not used it often." Su Yi said as he picked up a large iron sword.
"Hey, so heavy!" Su Yi picked up the sword with great effort. Although there was no problem moving with it on his back, it was still very difficult to swing it.
Moreover, in order to unleash the power of the greatsword, certain force-generating techniques and usage skills are required, and Su Yi is obviously not suitable for them at this stage.
Su Yi picked up the axe curiously and tried to transform it, but it was also not light.
"It seems that we can forget about getting heavier weapons for the time being." Su Yi said helplessly.
Then, he picked up the katana. Although he was able to wield it, it would take a long time of practice to use it properly.
The power of the katana can only be fully exerted if one is proficient enough in using it, otherwise one will be too handsome to be a good person.
Bows and arrows, light and heavy crossbows, etc., have requirements for aiming. It would be funny if your companion beast is fighting in the front while you accidentally hurt your teammates in the back.
As for the hunting horn, Su Yi didn't even have any theoretical experience.
"If you have never touched a hunter's weapon, you should start with the one-handed sword and familiarize yourself with it. You can also exercise your body at the same time," suggested Master Yuanye.
Su Yi nodded.
In terms of actual operating feel, the one-handed sword is more friendly to newcomers. Otherwise, it is a double sword, which is relatively light and easy to move.
But in battle, whether using props or slingshots, the one-handed sword is more flexible.
"Then let's practice it first."

Chapter 91: Departure and Preparation of Meeting Gifts
In fact, the choice of weapons should vary from person to person based on actual circumstances.
For example, if you are born with supernatural powers, then the best choice is naturally a big sword or a big hammer. If you are born with eagle eyes, then the best choice is a bow and arrow.
Weapons like the katana and the bug-control stick, which require relatively high skills, not only require talent, but also years of practice to truly unleash the power of the weapons in hunting.
Ordinary people like Su Yi would naturally choose the more balanced and simple one-handed sword.
You have to at least train yourself to the point where you can skillfully use one weapon and have mastered certain combat techniques before you can consider switching to another weapon.
Su Yi equipped himself with a standard iron one-handed sword and said, "The one-handed sword can be used to ascend a dragon, and rounding it off is also a katana, known as a shield-holding katana."
"I've made my choice too, meow." Lucao walked over with a short knife on her back.
"What are you doing?" Su Yi asked in surprise. Are there equipment for the follower cat here?
"After looking around, I think it would be just right to remove one of the two swords and use it," Lucao said cleverly.
Su Yi: Lucao, you are such a clever little girl.
"Okay, since you want to enter the Star Stronghold and seek cooperation, then without further ado, let's set off for the Star Stronghold tomorrow." Master Yuanye said.
"I haven't been back for almost a month. Counting the days, if nothing unexpected happens, the fifth group should be arriving soon."
"The exploration of the New World has just begun." Master Yuanye sighed.
Time flies, and she has been in the New World for nearly forty years.
The Starry Sky Stronghold was built from scratch, and it took nearly forty years of hard work by four groups to gain a firm foothold.
There were not many hunters in the survey team before, and some of them returned to the Old World, resulting in them not having enough manpower to explore the New World more deeply.
The Grand Commander and the Dragon Hunters usually act alone all year round. The Commander-in-Chief is in charge of the overall situation in the stronghold. The Swordsman Master obeys the Commander-in-Chief's command and is often on standby at the stronghold to ensure its safety.
If her guess was correct, this fifth group would include a large number of elite hunters.
The arrival of these hunters means that the investigation team will officially begin an in-depth investigation of Gulongdu and the New World.
Su Yi thought about it, weighed his words, and asked: "Master, is there any way to get the airship flying again? It is not a good idea for the Third Corps to be trapped here all year round."
Master Yuanye shook his head and said, "If the hot air balloon researcher was here, he might be able to create a hot air balloon again and make the airship fly again, but now he is still in the Star Base."
Su Yi nodded. He knew all this. He just wanted to express his own thoughts.
"Master, do you know that there is a monster with white fur in the Coral Plateau that can inflate the membrane on its neck into a balloon by inhaling air?" Su Yi asked knowingly.
"You are talking about the floating dragon, right? I have seen it a few times. What's wrong?" Master Yuanye asked puzzledly.
Su Yi said: "If you want to make a hot air balloon, then materials are essential, and I think the neck fur of the floating dragon that can expand into a balloon is a good material for making hot air balloons."
"Now that you mention it, it seems quite appropriate." Master Yuanye recalled the way the floating dragon inhaled and inflated the membrane on its neck, and nodded.
"Since we are all going to the Star Base, before that, we might as well hunt a floating dragon, obtain its materials, and then let researchers study it so as to develop a better hot air balloon." Su Yi said.
At the same time, this is also one of the meeting gifts for the investigation team. The cooperation between the two parties requires a certain foundation, and this gift is Su Yi's goodwill.
"Your idea is very constructive. I will discuss it with the team leader tomorrow morning." Master Yuanye nodded, agreeing with Su Yi's idea.
"Get some rest first."
The next morning, Su Yi woke up on his wooden bed.
"I'm used to sleeping in a sleeping bag, so I'm a little uncomfortable sleeping on this wooden bed." Su Yi shook his head and called Maomao to go see the leader together.
Still on the upper deck of the airship, on a couch piled with books and other research materials.
The leader of the Dragon Clan of the third group was sitting there elegantly and dignifiedly, holding the incense burner that she loved so much. Master Yuanye was saying something beside her.
"I have heard about your idea, and our scholars agree that your idea is indeed feasible."
The head of the group sat up and said seriously, "I didn't expect that you would be so concerned about our situation after just meeting us. First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the scholars here."
Su Yi waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. This is the basis of our cooperation."
"Then shall we set off now?" asked Master Yuanye.
Su Yi explained: "It's like this. It may take some time to find the trace of the floating dragon and hunt it, so I want you to go first. I have a way to go to the base. Then we can meet at the Xingchen base. How about it?"
Since Su Yi was able to teleport to the seaside camp in the ancient tree forest, he naturally didn't have to spend several days or even more than a week crossing the canyon to reach the stronghold.
What's more, he still has things to do in the Pokémon world, and he doesn't want to waste time on the road.
"That's fine. In that case, I'll leave the hunting matter to you," said Master Yuanye.
"Bon voyage, young hunter," said the leader.
When Su Yi stepped out of the airship, what greeted him was the fresh morning air of the Coral Plateau.
"Then we say goodbye here, my amazing boy. Be careful and we'll see you at the Starry Stronghold." Master Yuanye waved his hand, turned around and left.
"Meow!" Lucao waved goodbye.
"Phew! I don't want to ride that thing again."
Seeing Master Yuanye's figure gradually disappearing in the canyon, Su Yi looked at the cableway leading to the Coral Terrace, took a breath, and chose to teleport back to the Water Curtain Cave Camp.
"It's still early, let's try to find the trace of the floating dragon first." Su Yi returned to the camp, tidied up with Maomao, and then went to explore the plateau.
"Although the Floating Dragon is easy to deal with, its range of activity overlaps with that of the Sakura Fire Dragon, and also has some intersection with that of the Wind Drifting Dragon."
"We still have to be careful. Let's find the coral forest first and see if we can find any traces."
The main food of the floating dragon is coral eggs from coral trees. If you want to find its trace, you have to look for coral forests.
"I remember that the coral forest where I met the velociraptor was also quite large. Maybe I can get something from it." Su Yi opened the [Map] in the "Hunting Guide", and a detailed map of the places he had been to was automatically drawn.
After identifying the direction, Su Yi and Lu Cao walked in that direction.
Everyone go to sleep and don't wait. I'll update the rest during the day.

Chapter 92: Small Rock Pool
The air on the Coral Plateau in the morning is fresh and refreshing, and under the clear sky, pink coral eggs float in the wind like falling cherry blossoms.
Admiring the scenery along the way and collecting some materials, Su Yi and Lu Cao came to the coral forest where they fought with the Swift Dragon that day.
Among the woods, pterosaurs were flying leisurely in the air, preying on coral eggs floating in the air.
"Claw marks, footprints" Su Yi saw the marks on the ground without the guidance of the guide insect.
"These are traces of the Sakura Fire Dragon. After the Swift Dragon was tamed, this area will temporarily become her exclusive hunting ground."
The coral forest is not very big, and after searching around, no trace of the floating dragon was found.
The ecological niche of the floating dragon is not high. This is the hunting ground of the Sakura Fire Dragon, so it should not rashly in.
"Let's go to the plateau with a higher altitude and have a look." Su Yi raised his head and looked at the plateau that was gradually rising in the distance.
Before, they had always been active in the lower levels of the Coral Plateau. The middle levels were where the flying monsters were active.
Using vines to climb up the undulating terraces, Su Yi and his party soon arrived at a large coral rock jungle.
Coral rocks of various colors are scattered on the terraces, and hills of various shapes surround them, covered with colorful plants and corals.
