"Crying." The firebird flying in the sky nodded.
Su Yi asked curiously: "So what Pokémon injured you? Was it the other two of the three mythical birds?"
"Crying..." Moltres recalled what happened at that time with a heavy face.
Moltres: It was a starry night, and a Pokémon flying at high speed hit me head-on. At that time, I didn't see the specific appearance of the Pokémon clearly. When I came to my senses, I only saw six jets spewing red energy.
When Lucao roughly translated the meaning of Moltres, Su Yi said: ...

Chapter 303: Refining Gold and Exploring the Deeper Parts of the Golden Country
After returning to the hotel, Su Yi turned on Rotom on his mobile phone and began to plan his next trip.
"Hmm? Is there going to be a Pokémon Contest in Akihabara Town in a few days? I think Flying Dragon might be interested, so let's ask it if it wants to participate."
Coincidentally, Su Yi received news that the three members of Team Rocket had completed the gold refining equipment, and they were in Akiba Town.
"Now I don't have to worry about money!" Su Yi suddenly became happy. Having money means he can quickly build a [stronghold].
Akiba Town is a small city northwest of Kamae Town. The volcanic ash from Chimney Mountain drifts to this city and Route 113 to the east, providing rich nutrients to the soil here, so the planting industry here is very developed.
Su Yi arrived here quickly riding on the Steel Armored Crow.
"Mr. Su Yi, the machine you ordered is finished. We call it the Fortune Meow. Please check it." Meow rubbed his hands and unveiled the curtain. A huge mechanical meow appeared in front of him.
"According to your requirements, this device can be directly powered by batteries, or it can absorb electricity from Pokémon, and it can also generate electricity using wind, water and geothermal energy." Kojiro said proudly.
What else could Su Yi say? He could only give a thumbs up and praise generously: "It's amazing. Let's go, I'll treat you to a meal!"
Su Yi then took the three members of Team Rocket to a restaurant and had a delicious meal.
"Thank you for the hospitality~" Musashi wiped his mouth and said with satisfaction.
"When I have money in the future, I can eat food like this whenever I want, meow~" Meow Meow is already looking forward to the wonderful life after making money.
"Yeah, we won't have to be so tight on funds in the future." Kojiro agreed with a smile.
When Su Yi heard what Kojiro said, he laughed secretly in his heart.
Kojiro was born into a wealthy family and had so much money that he could never spend it all. If he hadn't run away from home because he couldn't stand the habits and arrangements at home, he would have been enjoying the wonderful life of the rich long ago.
It’s not like now when we need to worry about money.
However, although life in Team Rocket is difficult, Kojiro enjoys it and his own happiness is more important than anything else.
"Since the machine has arrived, I will pay the remaining money with gold. I will go back and settle it with you tomorrow." Su Yi said.
The trio said excitedly, “No problem!”
With the gold refining equipment, Su Yi couldn't wait to return to the Golden Country and prepare to get a batch of gold as working capital.
Su Yi picked up the pickaxe, released a few accompanying beasts suitable for digging, and said excitedly: "Gold miner, start!"
Then there was a series of clanging and banging sounds, and a large amount of gold ore containing impurities was dug out.
Then Su Yi put the gold mines into the fortune cat's mouth and then pulled its arms.
The gold coins above the Lucky Cat's head flickered, and as the machine roared, golden bricks and a pile of impurities containing other minerals were transported out separately.
Looking at the gold bricks piled together, Su Yi sighed: "I have never seen so much gold in my life."
As a poor family, they are used to being poor, so they were quite shocked to see so much high-purity gold.
"This pile of gold can probably be sold for several million at least. The next thing to consider is how to sell it at a suitable price."
"Maybe we can try to contact Daigo."
There is a lot of gold in the Golden Country, and the area where Su Yi is currently located may only be a part of the Golden Country. This will be a long-term business.
Su Yi couldn't sleep, and his mind was filled with two words: get rich!
"I can't sleep. How about going to the depths of the Golden Country?"
Su Yi fled in a hurry after digging out the cave of the Flame King Dragon. He still remembered that he found fossils there.
"I remember that after the Flame King Dragon was chased away by the Nergigante, it flew north. It should be going to the Dragon Crystal Land to recover from its injuries. This time, we should be able to explore the trail of the Brilliant Dragon with peace of mind."
"And now that I have the help of Moltres, it will be much easier to explore the lava area."
Su Yi sat up suddenly and became curious about Xuan Huilong's whereabouts again.
Now it seems that the gold and mineral reserves in this golden city are quite rich. Why would Xuanhuilong abandon it and go deep into the earth?
The traces of Khuti Dragon point to deeper places in the New World, so where will it go?
"Take this opportunity to explore the trail of Xuanhuilong again and see if we can find a second golden city!"
Having had this experience once before, Su Yi arrived at the Flame King Dragon's cave with ease.
After some careful investigation, Su Yi confirmed that the Flame King Dragon had never returned here.
"I remember it was here." Su Yi came to the rock passage where he was last time, and indeed saw the bones exposed from the rock wall.
As Su Yi, Lu Cao and the big fierce jackal dragon dug carefully, bones were revealed one by one. Fortunately, the fossil was relatively complete, and its body structure became clearer as the fossil was unearthed.
Originally Su Yi guessed that this was the fossil of a lava dragon, but when he roughly pieced together the skeleton, he found that it seemed to be the skeleton of a sea dragon.
Finally, when the skull with a blade-like mouth was excavated, Su Yi finally confirmed the identity of the fossil.
"It's actually the young of the Flame Dragon, the Lava Beast."
The Yan Gelong is a large sea dragon monster that lives in volcanic areas. They can swim in magma and cover their bodies with magma to protect themselves.
They are very good at drilling into rock formations, and can even rely on their strong bodies to bounce onto the ceiling of a cave. They then use their blade-like anchors to drill into the ceiling, and then drill out from the top of the cave like a rotating drill to attack their target.
And they shoot laser-like magma rays from their mouths to attack their targets.
In addition, these large monsters live in groups, so they are very dangerous and are called the overlords of volcanoes.
"That is to say, this was once the bottom of a volcano."
"Let's look for a passage leading to the outside, or find the tunnel dug by Xuanhuilong."
Su Yi dug into the rock wall again, but found no other fossils.
So he released Moltres and said to it, "Meltres, help me find a passage leading to the outside nearby. It may be hidden behind the lava waterfall."
Moltres looked around, nodded, and then flew in one direction.
He looked around the rock walls for a cave entrance that was sealed by melted rocks.
Finally, a rock melt mark shaped like a cave entrance was found at the other end of the lava river. After flying across the wide lava river on a female fire dragon, Su Yi found some melted metal minerals on the melt mark.
"That's right, this should be the trace of Xuanhuilong."
Su Yi immediately ordered the ferocious jackal dragon to use its digging skill to dig through the bottom.
However, when the ferocious jackal dragon dug through the rock and emerged from the cave, the scene in front of him shocked Su Yi.
The huge space before us had no flowing magma, nor brilliant gold, but a huge rift that split the earth from south to north.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 304: Preparation for Strengthening, the Road to Evolution
The rift was as deep as an abyss and had no bottom. Su Yi dropped a flare, and finally the light disappeared into the endless darkness.
"How did Xuanhuilong pass through this rift? Or was it formed after Xuanhuilong left?"
Su Yi looked at the other side of the rift, where there was a rock wall and no sign of any passage that had ever existed.
Su Yi guessed: "Did the passage collapse?"
There is no way forward unless we explore deeper into the rift.
Su Yi opened the map and found that they were gradually approaching the outskirts of the Miasma Valley. They were now probably below the grand canyon surrounding the Miasma Valley, and the direction of the rift was heading towards the Miasma Valley.
"Is it going deep into the miasma valley, or coming out of the miasma valley?"
With the clues cut off, Su Yi had no choice but to retreat. Random digging would not only make it easy to lose the correct direction, but also easily cause collapse.
When Su Yi retreated back to the lava space, Moltres was waiting for him and told him the passage leading to the outside.
"Take us out." Su Yi and Lu Cao rode on the female fire dragon and followed the Moltres.
The molten bird flew through a complex lava cave and finally flew out from a vertical passage above a lava lake.
After seeing the scene outside, Su Yi discovered that they were near a high mountain outside the Grand Canyon, located to the east of the Big Ant Mound Wasteland.
With the light of the moon and stars, you can see that to the east of the Big Anthill Wasteland is a large mudflat, and further away is the ocean.
"Cry?" Moltres made a puzzled sound. Where was this place? It was obviously very different from Hoenn.
Su Yi didn't explain too much, but put away Moltres and returned to the Pokémon world.
"Looking at the direction that Xuanhuilong is heading, it is roughly heading towards the Miasma Valley. Could it have died of old age?"
Lying on the bed in the hotel, Su Yi was thinking about the information he had obtained from tracking the traces.
"And there won't be any Flame Dragons in the Dragon Crystal Land, right?"
The land of dragon crystallization is very vast and is covered with lava zones, which meet the conditions for the survival of the Flame Dragon. As for the lava space under the Great Ant Mound Wasteland, it may have been a volcano where the Flame Dragon lived, but it was buried due to crustal movement.
"Is there a chance to see the Dragon Crushing Hammer explode a Flame Dragon with your own eyes?"
Su Yi lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
"It's golden (meow)!"
The next day, Su Yi brought gold to settle the payment for the Rocket Team trio. The trio held the gold bricks in fascination.
"Then the deal is done, and we have a pleasant cooperation." Su Yi said with a smile.
"Next time you need any machine, just come to us, Meow!" Meow Meow patted his chest.
Kojiro smiled and said, "Yes, I promise to meet your requirements."
Su Yi smiled and said, "Then I look forward to working with you next time."
After respectfully seeing off the rich man Su Yi, the trio touched the gold bricks with great joy, looking as if they couldn't let go.
Musashi suddenly sighed, "We couldn't earn this much gold no matter how hard we worked before, right?"
