Live Stream Treasure Appraisal: Your elf isn't thriving!

Chapter 677 Moltres: Ho-Oh's Messenger? I won't even give you a second glance! Narrator: Bless me, I need a blessing, understand?!

Blazing white light burst forth from the cracks in the ground, turning the entire Red Rock Plateau into daylight.

The heat waves in the air were no longer distorted ripples, but transformed into tangible, golden-red flame particles that danced wildly around the crack.

After a brief pause of 0.1 seconds, the live stream chat exploded and completely flooded the screen.

[Light! It's light! I'm blind!]

[These special effects—no, these aren't special effects! I can feel my face burning even through the screen!]

What exactly is about to emerge from underground? Is it a magma eruption?

Ye Yinchuan ignored the comments.

His pupils reflected the increasingly dazzling light. His Insightful Eyes were already operating at full capacity, with golden data streams frantically refreshing, attempting to analyze the incredibly vast energy source deep within the light.

"Click"

The earth groaned under the unbearable burden.

Centered on the crack, the red sandstone within a radius of 100 meters shattered inch by inch, and countless golden-red energy streams surged out from the depths of the earth, like a giant net being woven.

The next second, the thickest crack in the center of the net suddenly widened!

A claw, a claw made entirely of lava and golden flames, emerged and gripped heavily onto the edge of the plateau!

Then came the second one.

With a long, resounding cry that seemed to pierce the clouds and split rocks, a colossal body rose into the sky from the depths of the earth!

It was a bird.

No, that's not a bird.

That is the living sun.

Its body is entirely composed of flowing, eternally burning flames, each feather a leaping tongue of fire. Long, magnificent tail feathers trail a dazzling golden ribbon behind it, igniting the air wherever they pass with crackling sounds. Atop its head is a crown of flames, which, with each sway, scatters sparks across the sky.

What's most unsettling is its wings.

Those were not wings made of feathers; they were two wings of light composed of pure, solidified flames. As the wings of light unfolded, they blotted out the sky, dyeing the entire sky of the Red Rock Plateau a magnificent orange-red.

"Moflame Bird————"

Ye Yinchuan uttered the name softly.

One of the legendary three sacred birds, the embodiment of fire.

The 300 million viewers in the live stream fell silent at that moment. Many of them had only heard this name in textbooks or ancient legends.

And now, the myth has come alive before their very eyes.

The firebird hovered in mid-air, its golden wings flapping slowly, each flap stirring up a scorching gust of wind.

It ignored the tiny live-streaming equipment and Ye Yinchuan standing on the edge of the terrace.

It lowered its proud head and looked at the underground fissure from which it had just emerged.

"Hey!"

Another long, angry roar.

It seems very unhappy with the geothermal energy that attracted it.

Although the energy was immense, it was mixed with a foul odor that made it feel stinging and irritated.

Its gaze swept around, finally settling on the only creature still standing.

Ye Yinchuan.

The two, one human and one god, met in mid-air.

The firebird's golden eyes held no emotion, only pure, star-like heat and majesty.

It looked at Ye Yinchuan.

Then, it did nothing.

Just watching.

An invisible, overwhelming mental pressure instantly enveloped Ye Yinchuan!

[Molotov used Leer!]

Ye Yinchuan's body remained motionless, but an absurd thought inexplicably popped into his mind.

No wonder—

He couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"In the first generation of games, when the three legendary birds reached level 51, Articuno learned the devastating Blizzard, Zapdos learned the divine punishment-like Thunderclap, and you, Moltres, only learned Leer!"

"So your glare really can kill someone!"

This pressure is not just a psychological deterrent, but more like a declaration of authority.

—How dare any mortal look directly at the gods?

"Click!"

A deep roar came from behind Ye Yinchuan.

Snorlax's massive body blocked Ye Yinchuan's path. It opened its usually squinty eyes, its gaze sharper than ever before, staring directly at Moltres in the sky.

At the same time, Deoxys, Incineroar, Sableye, and all the other Pokémon instantly entered battle stance.

Moltres's gaze swept over Snorlax, finally settling on Ye Yinchuan. It seemed to sense a faint yet pure aura emanating from Ye Yinchuan, belonging to another legendary Pokémon.

The aura of Ho-Oh.

But its gaze remained unchanged, still that haughty scrutiny.

The messenger of the Phoenix King?

so what.

I don't even acknowledge you!

"take it easy."

Ye Yinchuan's voice rang out, and he reached out and gently patted Snorlax's back, signaling it to relax.

He took a step forward, bypassing Snorlax's protection, and met Moltres's gaze once more.

"You were drawn here by the underground energy, hoping to undergo a fiery bath to replenish your power," Ye Yinchuan's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the firebird's ears. "But there's something wrong with the energy here, isn't there?"

The oppressive aura emanating from the Moltres intensified.

It disdains to answer a human question.

Ye Yinchuan didn't need its answer.

His discerning eye has already analyzed the energy flow of the entire area clearly.

"The geothermal energy of the Red Rock Plateau should be pure fire-based energy. But now, it has been polluted."

Ye Yinchuan pointed to a lower depression in the distance.

"The source is over there."

Moltres looked in the direction he pointed, a hint of impatience flashing in its eyes.

Of course it knows where the source is.

In that depression, a group of uninvited guests roamed. A group of powerful wild Pokémon occupied the main vent of geothermal energy, using their bodies and abilities to distort and transform the pure geothermal energy into an energy more suitable for their survival, but less comfortable for Moltres.

Moltres could easily drive away these Pokémon, but as a lofty legendary Pokémon, it disdains to do so.

[Is the streamer talking to Moltres?]

[Does it understand? I have a feeling the Moltres is about to roast the streamer alive?]

What's going on? Is the underground energy toxic?

"That's a Magnatif, the mortal enemy of a group of Iron Ants," Ye Yinchuan explained to the live stream. "It's a Fire-type Pokémon that feeds on geothermal energy and minerals. They're neither good nor bad; they're just following their instincts to survive."

"But the problem is that the lord of this ant-eating furnace is a mutated individual. Its body can secrete a special acidic digestive fluid, which mixes with the high-temperature magma steam to produce a gas that is highly corrosive and energy-polluting."

"This gas has polluted the entire geothermal system of the Chiyan Plateau."

Ye Yinchuan looked at the firebird in the sky.

"You wanted to take a bath, but you found out the public bathhouse had been turned into a septic tank. So you're angry, right?"

This metaphor is too vivid.

The comments section erupted in laughter.

[A public bathhouse converted into a septic tank, hahaha!]

[Host, you understand metaphors!]

So Moltres was disgusted by a bunch of Antminers? Where's the prestige of a legendary Pokémon?!

The flamingo seemed to understand Ye Yinchuan's analogy. Its flames suddenly surged, and it let out an extremely displeased cry.

Ye Yinchuan smiled.

"I can help you," he said.

For the first time, a hint of "disdain" appeared in the Moltres's golden eyes.

Do I need your help?

You, a mere human being?

If you want to take action, I can easily handle it; I just don't bother!

"I don't need to fight them." Ye Yinchuan listened to the firebird's thoughts and naturally knew what it was thinking. "But I need you to cooperate a little and step aside."

He pointed behind the firebird to the largest crack it had created.

The flamingo was puzzled, but it still flapped its wings as instructed and moved to the side for several tens of meters.

Ye Yinchuan walked to the edge of the crack, and the hot wind hit his face, almost setting his eyebrows on fire.

"Sang Biao!"

"Owl!"

"roar!"

The Poké Ball opened, and Incineroar leaped out, landing steadily on the scorching sandstone. As a dual-type Fire/Dark Pokémon, this temperature was like lukewarm water to it.

As for the sniper tree owl, although it was a bit uncomfortable, it remained relatively calm.

"Do you see that brightest spot below the crack?" Ye Yinchuan squatted down and pointed to a lava pool deep underground.

"Sang Biao, you're in charge of opening up the lava and flames. Xiao, you blow that place up!"

The Crimson Roaring Tiger nodded, and the flame belt around its waist burned even more fiercely.

Without the slightest hesitation, the Crimson Roaring Tiger leaped into the bottomless crevice!

Everyone in the live stream went crazy!

[Holy crap! She jumped?!]

[As expected of the Fiery Roaring Tiger, it treats lava like a bath!]

The firebird in the sky was also stunned.

It completely failed to understand the human's actions.

The next second, a muffled roar came from deep underground!

The surrounding lava and flames were forcefully pushed aside by the power and energy unleashed by the Blazing Roaring Tiger, providing the Sniper Tree Owl with perfect visibility.

The sniper tree owl, which had been nocking its arrow and gathering its strength, unleashed an astonishing shot that, mixed with the energy of a storm of green leaves and shadows, pierced through and struck its target!

With a deafening roar, a brand new, even thicker, golden pillar of fire shot into the sky from a flat area three hundred meters away!

The pillar of fire was pure and clean, without a trace of impurity, radiating a pure yang energy that was refreshing and invigorating.

New geothermal vents!

Ye Yinchuan used his Insightful Eyes to analyze the geological structure and found a weak point. He then had the Crimson Roaring Tiger and the Sniper Tree Owl work together to break through it in one blow, forcibly changing the flow of the underground magma channel and opening up a brand new, uncontaminated eruption vent!

The original eruption vent will not affect the habitat of the molten ant beasts!

Moltres stared blankly at the brand-new, pure golden pillar of fire, then looked at the rapidly cooling pillar beneath its feet.

The crack, its energy dissipating, finally returned its gaze to the human standing calmly on the edge of the plateau.

Its eyes have changed.

It was no longer scrutiny, no longer authority, no longer disdain.

Rather, it was a complex emotion—a mixture of shock, curiosity, and a hint of approval.

It slowly descended and landed in front of Ye Yinchuan.

Its massive size brought an immense sense of oppression, but this time, it restrained all its hostility.

"Garlic bird, garlic bird, you're welcome." Ye Yinchuan waved his hand and made a joke.

Moltres tilted its head, seemingly not understanding what "Garlic Bird" meant.

But it understood Ye Yinchuan's goodwill.

It opened its mouth, and a fist-sized orb made of pure fire energy slowly emerged from it, drifting towards the Crimson Roaring Tiger.

The jewel was incorporated into the fiery belt of the Crimson Roaring Tiger.

"roar!"

The Crimson Roaring Tiger let out an excited roar. The flames on its waist were no longer just a simple crimson, but had taken on a dazzling gold, the color of a firebird! Its aura surged at that moment!

Then, Moltres turned its gaze to the other side.

The sniper tree owl had appeared unnoticed and was watching it warily.

A soft golden beam shot from the Moltres's eyes, enveloping the Sniper Treeowl.

The sniper tree owl shuddered.

As a grass-type, it instinctively fears fire. But in this beam of light, it felt no burning pain, only a warm, life-giving energy.

[Ding! Your Deviljho has learned the skill "Photosynthesis" under the blessing of the Moltres!]

Your Sniper Tree Owl's fire resistance has been greatly increased!

Ye Yinchuan's lips curled up slightly.

This must be the blessing from Moltres.

As expected of a legendary Pokémon, it's incredibly generous!

Why won't you give it to me?

After the firebird finished doing all this, it noticed Ye Yinchuan's expectant gaze. With a flap of its wing, a firebird flew over and merged into Ye Yinchuan's body.

Then, it turned around, flapped its wings, and transformed into a golden stream of light, plunging into the new, pure pillar of fire.

It needs a good bath.

The chat room was completely in an uproar.

[A miracle! This is absolutely a miracle!]

[The streamer perfectly solved the problem and received the blessing again! My god, both the Crimson Roaring Tiger and the Sniper Tree Owl have become stronger!]

[A humanoid mythical beast, a humanoid mythical beast!]

Ye Yinchuan looked at the rising popularity in the live broadcast room and smiled slightly. The effect of this live broadcast was undoubtedly quite pleasing.

In theory, I could end the live stream right now and start the Legend of Giratina simulation.

He took a deep breath and suppressed the impulse. He had to take every live broadcast seriously; it was part of his professional ethics. Otherwise, if his mind slipped, it would be impossible to stop.

She gave the camera a relaxed smile.

"Alright everyone, the divine bird's beauty is truly captivating and unforgettable. The live stream isn't over yet, so let's move on to..."

Let's wander around the neighborhood and see if we can find any rare Pokémon.

Ye Yinchuan looked around at the vast and magical Chiyan Plateau.

"By the way, we can also get closer to observe the ecology of those molten ant beasts!"

The molten bird's blessing had begun to merge with his body, and the originally scorching environment seemed to have become comfortable!
