Chapter 1401 The New Lord of the Sky

"Mission 1: The Pokémon of the Master has changed."

[Master Pokémon]: You need to find five special areas in the Padia Secret Realm, defeat them, and gain the approval of the five Master Pokémon.

Cliffside Treasure Master, Hairy Crab (Incomplete)

The Primordial Great Bird, the Lord of the Sky (Incomplete)

Qiangangbao main tractor (incomplete)

Earthquake Treasure Lord's Majestic Teeth, Iron Tracks (Incomplete)

The fake dragon master eats Houba and Mililong (incomplete).

"Since the Lord of the Sky has changed from the Stone Bird to the Ancestral Bird, the mission has changed. You can choose to challenge and gain the approval of the Lord of the Sky, the Ancestral Bird, to obtain the key item, the Secret: Bitter Seasoning, or you can choose to obtain the Secret: Bitter Seasoning through other means."

Note: Secret seasonings are the key items to unlock Mission 2 [Winged King and Iron Serpent]. You need to collect all the secret seasonings to unlock Mission 2 [Winged King and Iron Serpent].

…………

After listening to the sonic dragon recount the whole story, the long-awaited system notification sound rang out.

Looking at the description in the system, Xia Yu was momentarily distracted.

The key to completing Mission 1 is actually five secret seasonings; only by obtaining these five secret seasonings can Mission 2 be unlocked.

In this light, there are many ways to complete the mission. You can either gain the approval of the Pokémon's owner and obtain the Secret Seasoning, or you can choose other means to obtain the Secret Seasoning, such as... stealing?

Xia Yu immediately thought of the secret seasoning that grew on the forehead of the Treasure Master Crab on the rock wall: sweet seasoning. Stealing the secret seasoning from the Treasure Master Pokémon would be extremely difficult, no less than defeating the Treasure Master Pokémon head-on.

It's just that we don't know where the bitter ingredients, which are guarded by the ancestral bird of the Sky Treasure Master, grow.

"Noivern, I have a question. How did Archaeopteryx steal the Secret: Bitter from the previous Pokémon, Decoyote?" Xia Yu asked, looking at Noivern.

Since Archaeopteryx could steal the secret ingredient: Bitterness, could I also replicate Archaeopteryx's actions and steal the secret ingredient: Bitterness?

"Secretly passed down: The bitter ingredients are located at the summit of the highest peak. It used to be the territory of the Lower Stone Bird Clan, but the Ancestral Great Bird Clan seized an opportunity. While the Sky Treasure Master, the Lower Stone Bird, was away from the main peak, the Ancestral Great Bird Clan forcibly broke into the summit of the main peak, and a fierce battle broke out between the two races."

"The Archaeopteryx found the secret: after consuming the bitter medicine, its strength increased to the quasi-god level, and it engaged in a fierce battle with the returning Stonebird."

"You already know the ending: the Proto-Bird killed the Lower Stone Bird and became the new Lord of the Sky."

"From that time on, the main peak became the territory of the Archaeopteryx clan, and no Pokémon could approach it. To avoid repeating the same mistake, Archaeopteryx has remained on the main peak ever since!"

After hearing what the sonic dragon said, Xia Yu frowned and a hint of regret appeared in his eyes.

Archaeopteryx made its fortune by stealing the secret recipe: bitter seasoning. Naturally, it would be wary of others using this trick on it. Therefore, it seems that stealing the secret recipe: bitter seasoning is completely unfeasible. It is necessary to break through from the front. The only way is to fight Archaeopteryx head-on.

Thinking of this, Xia Yu's face turned solemn. Fighting against the quasi-god-level progenitor bird was undoubtedly an extremely dangerous matter, and Xia Yu had to prepare in advance.

Furthermore... Xia Yu turned his gaze back to the Soundwave Dragon.

This Sonic Dragon followed them here, it couldn't possibly be just to say these things, it must have other purposes: "Sonic Dragon, you followed us here, it certainly wasn't just to say these things, you can tell me what you want now."

Sonic Dragon shook its head, then shifted its gaze to Xia Yu's Sonic Dragon: "I came here for no other purpose than to tell you that the current Sky Treasure Master, the Ancestral Bird, is ferocious and should never be challenged."

"Oh, why?" Xia Yu looked at the Soundwave Dragon with interest and asked.

"To consolidate its position, it forbids any other Pokémon from approaching the main peak. All Pokémon that attempt to challenge it are killed and nailed to the mountain to dry out!"

Xia Yu frowned slightly at the words of the Soundwave Dragon.

Although some wild Pokémon are aggressive and may attack other Pokémon or trainers, they do not engage in acts of cruelty or murder.

Their killings were merely for hunting, for survival, and for territorial disputes; it was a matter of the survival of the fittest, a natural phenomenon. They would never have killed their enemies so cruelly and impaled them on the mountain peaks as they do now.

Even Dark-type Pokémon, known for their ferocity and cruelty, rarely exhibit this behavior.

The fact that Archaeopteryx stole the Secret Recipe: Bitter Seasoning from the previous Sky Master, Rockruff, shows that Archaeopteryx is definitely an ambitious and patient Pokémon, and it won't be easy to deal with.

It is also important to note that the attitudes of Master-level Pokémon on the other six peaks besides the main peak are also crucial.

Ancient Giant Dragonfly, Warrior Eagle, Vulture Na, Archaeopteryx, Sonic Dragon, Iron Neck and Roaring Moon!

In particular, the attitudes of Iron Neck and Roaring Moon on the inner peaks are exceptional. If they are loyal followers of Archaeopteryx, it means that Xia Yu will not only have to deal with the quasi-god level Archaeopteryx, but also the master level Iron Neck and Roaring Moon.

Just thinking about it is daunting, but I don't seem to have any other options!

“Sonic Dragon, you don’t need to dissuade us. We will definitely challenge the Archaeopteryx.” Xia Yu met Sonic Dragon’s surprised gaze and said decisively, “Thank you for the information. Please also pass on a message to the Sonic Dragon leader and ask if it is willing to fight alongside us.”

Hearing Xia Yu's words, the sonic dragon's face turned ugly. It shook its head slightly, but did not refuse Xia Yu. Instead, it said to Xia Yu, "I will convey your words to our leader, but don't have too high hopes."

"It will not lead our people into an abyss of no return."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yu chuckled and shook his head, a confident smile on his face: "The results you mentioned are all based on the premise of failure. What if we win? Since the Primordial Bird could replace the Stone Bird as the new Lord of the Sky, the Sonic Dragon can also become the new Lord of the Sky!"

“You can tell the Sonic Dragon leader that this may be its only chance in its life. If it misses this opportunity, no one will be there to help it!” Xia Yu, like a devil, tempted the Sonic Dragon in front of him: “On its own, it will never be able to become the Lord of the Sky.”

The sonic dragon's expression changed several times before it finally gritted its teeth and said, "I will pass on the message, but I can't guarantee what the outcome will be."

"You just need to deliver the message."
