Chapter 611 Unbelievable, the Extremely Cold Zone in a Volcano! This Fire-type Pokémon also has a special form?
The silver-gray lava worm seemed to gain immense satisfaction after swallowing the comet fragment.
Its yellow eyes were now sparkling with dependence and curiosity towards Ye Yinchuan.
After a brief contact, it gently rubbed its wriggling body against Ye Yinchuan's trouser leg, making a low "hoohoo" sound, as if it were being affectionate.
"Family members, it seems that bribing this guy isn't too difficult," Ye Yinchuan said to the camera with a smile. He bent down, reached out, and gently stroked the head of the silver-gray lava worm.
Holy crap! Streamer, you're really daring to touch me!
[Those are lava worms! Five thousand degrees Celsius! Is the streamer's hand made of titanium alloy?!]
I can feel the heat even through the screen! Are you alright, streamer?
[If this were an ordinary person, their hand would have vaporized, right?]
The live stream chat exploded with comments, filled with shock and worry. Even Scarface the Tanuki was startled and quickly shrank back with its short legs.
"Don't worry, family." Ye Yinchuan's voice carried a hint of confidence. "Generally speaking, lava worms are absolutely not to be touched. Their body temperature is extremely high, and ordinary people will definitely be burned if they come into contact with them."
He paused, then gently placed his hand on the lava worm, feeling its warmth, which was not scorching.
"But this one is special." Ye Yinchuan's gaze fell on the silver-gray lava worm. "Just like I said before, it has been consuming special metallic minerals deep in the volcano for a long time, and its body composition has mutated, giving it some steel-like properties."
"This steel-like composition allows its surface to more subtly and actively insulate itself from high temperatures."
He gestured for the camera to zoom in, and there was no steam coming out of the place where his palm touched the lava worm; instead, there was a warm, metallic feel to it.
"Therefore, this silver lava worm is one of the few lava worms in the world that can be touched!" Ye Yinchuan said with a hint of pride.
[What kind of divine constitution is this? Does it have built-in heat insulation?!]
[You've struck gold, streamer! This lava worm is absolutely unique!]
[You won't get burned by touching the lava worm, that's so cool!]
I'm truly impressed by the streamer's ability to spot hidden gems; he always manages to discover potential that others miss!
"Roar!" The silver-gray lava worm seemed to enjoy Ye Yinchuan's caress, its body wriggling slightly as it let out an even more cheerful cry.
"Besides its unique body structure, Lavabug, as a Fire-type Pokémon, also has some very interesting characteristics." Ye Yinchuan withdrew his hand and began to explain to the audience.
"Lava worms commonly possess two characteristics: a fiery body and lava armor."
"As its name suggests, the 'Body of Flames' emits scorching flames from its body, burning any opponent who comes into contact with it. This characteristic is more focused on offense, or rather, counter-attack. The reason you get burned by touching a lava worm is the same."
"Lava Armor," on the other hand, leans more towards defense. Lava worms with this characteristic are as if their bodies are encased in a layer of sturdy lava armor, effectively resisting external attacks and preventing them from being frozen.
Indeed, engaging in close combat with lava worms resulted in burns before the fight even began; they're incredibly troublesome!
[The Lava Armor is pretty good too; it's even immune to freezing, making it hard to counter.]
So here's the question: one is offensive, the other defensive—which of these two characteristics is more powerful?
"These two traits each have their own advantages in different combat environments," Ye Yinchuan explained. "Moreover, under certain special circumstances, they can even switch between each other to a certain extent." Although this is rare, any Magma Bug capable of switching traits is generally within the reach of a trainer if they wish, given its astonishingly refined energy control.
"Besides these two common characteristics, the Lava Worm also has a relatively rare hidden characteristic." Ye Yinchuan's voice once again carried a hint of mystery.
"That's—the Shattered Armor!"
[Shattered Armor? This trait doesn't seem to be too rare, does it?]
[Wait, this thing is covered in magma; wouldn't its shattered armor send sparks flying everywhere?]
"The Lava Worm, which possesses the 'Shattered Armor' characteristic, will have its shell shatter when subjected to physical attacks, thus reducing its defense," Ye Yinchuan stated, pointing out what appeared to be a "weakness."
"But!" he abruptly changed his tone, his voice suddenly rising, "As its armor shatters, its speed will increase dramatically! Moreover, because the lava worm's body itself contains astonishingly high temperatures, the scalding fragments that fly out at the moment the armor breaks can inflict additional fire damage on surrounding enemies!"
"This means that the lava worm, possessing 'shattered armor,' can sacrifice some defense in pursuit of greater offense and mobility!" Ye Yinchuan's eyes gleamed with excitement. "Imagine a silver-gray lava worm, its hard shell shattered before an enemy, yet in that instant, it unleashes astonishing speed and scorching debris, transforming into a deadly fire meteor!"
This is practically a suicide truck!
[Trading speed for damage, and it even has AOE damage! This feature is too ruthless!]
Isn't this a classic case of burning one's bridges and going all in, a do-or-die situation?!
[The speed is incredible, and it can even reflect damage after being hit—who can withstand that?!]
Ye Yinchuan watched the enthusiastic discussion among the viewers in the live chat, a broad smile playing on his lips.
"Alright, that's enough about the lava worms. Let's continue our exploration!"
Ye Yinchuan, along with Scarface Tanuki and Asura Greatsword Demon, continued deeper into the Crimson Flame Mountain wilderness.
Deep within the volcano, the smell of sulfur in the air grew increasingly strong.
The land beneath our feet gradually transformed from scorched volcanic rock into a dark red, shimmering lava field.
Every now and then, scalding hot air would gush out from the cracks in the ground, enveloping everything in a hazy steam.
"Family members, the environment deep inside a volcano is far more complex than we imagine."
Ye Yinchuan spoke to the camera in a calm and steady voice.
"The Pokémon here often have unique evolutionary paths or special physical structures in order to adapt to the extreme heat."
He pointed to a distant, rugged mountainside formed from cooled lava.
"That area has frequent geological activity, so you might be able to find some even rarer Fire-type Pokémon."
The Asura Greatsword Demon walked ahead, its foot blades lightly scraping the ground, producing a faint friction sound.
Its scarlet eyes scanned its surroundings warily, making sure there were no potential dangers.
The scarred raccoon looked around curiously, occasionally reaching out its paw to touch the cooled volcanic ash before quickly retracting it.
[Host, this place is so desolate! It seems like there's hardly anything alive here.]
[Yeah, besides Magcargo and Lavabug, are there any other Pokémon?]
Don't worry, the streamer definitely has a goal, and always manages to surprise us!
Ye Yinchuan smiled but did not answer directly.
He simply quickened his pace and headed towards the rugged mountain wall.
However, as they approached the mountainside...
A sudden, icy chill rushed towards me!
"Um?"
Ye Yinchuan frowned slightly.
This chill stood in stark contrast to the scorching heat of the surrounding environment.
It was as if, in the heart of this fiery volcano, a different dimension constructed of ice and snow had suddenly appeared.
[What's going on? Is this air conditioning? I think I saw Scarface shiver!]
[Upstairs, you're being way too unrealistic. There's no air conditioning inside a volcano, you think? Are you talking about running an air conditioner?]
Ye Yinchuan's gaze held a hint of inquiry.
He slowly stretched out his hand, feeling the real chill in the air.
Even the air distorted by the high temperature became clearly visible in this area.
Tiny, almost invisible ice crystals are slowly condensing in the air.
He did nothing wrong.
Ye Yinchuan's voice carried a hint of solemnity.
"There is a very unusual energy fluctuation here."
"In an area full of volcanoes, there appeared an extremely cold region!"
He pointed the camera forward.
Between the dark red mountain walls, a narrow passage covered with a thin layer of frost appeared!
At the entrance to the passage, there were even crystal-clear icicles hanging!
Scarface jumped directly onto Ye Yinchuan's shoulder and hugged his neck tightly with its short legs.
"Ugh!" (It's so cold!)
The Asura Greatsword Demon also stopped in his tracks, a hint of doubt flashing in his scarlet eyes.
Although the cold environment makes it more comfortable than the volcanic environment.
[My God! This is so unusual! Are there ice caves inside the volcano?]
[This doesn't make sense! With thermal expansion and contraction, shouldn't this area have melted?]
Could it be the den of some legendary Pokémon?
"This phenomenon is indeed very rare."
Ye Yinchuan's gaze was fixed on the frozen passage.
"Let's go in and take a look. Maybe we'll find something unexpected."
Without hesitation, he stepped into the cold passage.
The inside of the passage was even colder than ice.
Thick frost has formed on the surrounding rock walls, and in some places, it has even formed icicles that look like works of art.
The ground beneath our feet became slippery, and we had to be careful with every step.
Ye Yinchuan turned on the searchlight.
Wherever the light reaches, there is a crystal-clear world of ice and snow.
Just then!
A small figure suddenly flashed past from the depths of the passage!
It moved nimbly and at great speed, leaving only a blurry afterimage.
But Ye Yinchuan's eyes suddenly narrowed.
"etc!"
He quickly captured the characteristics of the afterimage.
"What is that?"
He quickly caught up with him.
I think I saw something pass by!
[Wow, that's fast! Is it a Pokémon?]
[Hey streamer! Watch out! This place is really creepy!]
Ye Yinchuan followed the direction of that figure and went deeper into the passage.
Soon, they arrived at a relatively open ice cave.
In the center of the cave, there is a huge rock covered in ice and snow.
The figure was lying on the rock, watching them warily.
That was a Pokémon that looked like a puppy!
Its base color is orange-yellow, but unlike the usual Growlithe, it is noticeably deeper and closer to orange-red.
Its fur is much longer and thicker than that of a regular Growlithe, making it appear fluffy and dense.
Especially around its neck and head, it has a ring of grayish-white fur, like a scarf, which is fluffy and looks very thick and warm.
Its snout, belly, and tail are grayish-yellow, while its back and limbs have black longitudinal stripes.
Most strikingly, it has a hard, sharp horn made of rock growing on its head!
Its nose is black, and its ears are large and square. Because its mane is so long, it covers its eyes, giving it a silly and endearing appearance!
Wow! What an adorable Pokémon!
Is this Growlithe? Why does it look so different?
Wow, so much fur! It looks so warm!
Is that a horn on its head? Growlithe has horns?!
[A heterochromatic Growlithe? No, wait, this must be a mutation!]
Ye Yinchuan's gaze was fixed on this unusual Growlithe.
He had already figured out what it was.
However, with his keen eye for treasures, he still quietly initiated the plan.
next second.
An information panel that only he could see appeared above the Growlithe.
Pokémon: Growlithe (Green Region Form)
[Attribute: Fire/Rock]
【Characteristic: Intimidate】
[Level: 26]
[Skills: Spark, Impact, Roar, Rock Blockade, Flame Wheel —]
Individual Value: Grade A (105)
[Special Status: Emerald Bloodline (Contains the bloodline of the ancient Emerald region's Growlithe dogs, possessing a unique ability to adapt to extremely cold environments.)]
"Just as I expected!"
A knowing smile appeared on Ye Yinchuan's lips.
"Family members, you guessed right."
He pointed his camera at this unique Growlithe.
"This is not an ordinary Growlithe, nor is it a simple hetero color."
"It's not even a simple mutation, but a kind of ethnic form that is almost impossible to see now!"
This type of Growlithe is recorded in the "Tales of Xicui" and once lived in the ancient Xicui region, so I call it the Xicui Growlithe!
[Is this the Xicui region again? The streamer's Greatsword Demon is from there too, right? It's like meeting a fellow townsman!]
]
[My God! Has the streamer discovered another living fossil?]
No wonder I've never seen this before; the streamer must be very knowledgeable.
Scarface jumped off Ye Yinchuan's shoulder and looked at the Growlithe curiously.
"roar?"
The Asura Greatsword Demon also walked over, a hint of inquiry flashing in his scarlet eyes.
"That's right."
Ye Yinchuan nodded and began to explain the science.
"The Growlithe dogs from the Shichi region have longer and thicker fur than the Growlithe dogs we have found so far."
"Look at its mane, isn't it very fluffy and thick? This is a sign that they are adapted to cold environments."
.
"Because their fur is soft and very warm, they can be energetic and active even in cold regions."
He pointed to the horn on the top of Growlithe's head.
"And the horn on its head is also a unique feature of the Sherry Growlithe."
"This is due to the influence of volcanic activity; the body hair contains components of igneous rock, which eventually formed the rock horn."
"Although these horns are hard and sharp, they are easily damaged, so they seem to only be used for attack in critical moments."
[A horn made of igneous rock! That's so cool!]
Is Growlithe a Fire/Rock dual-type, or an Ice type?
No wonder it can survive in this ice cave; it has built-in properties for insulation and cold resistance!
[This look, this rarity, I want it! Streamer, how much? Name your price!]
Ye Yinchuan smiled slightly as he looked at the enthusiastic comments on the screen.
"Growlithe, being a Fire/Rock type, has greater adaptability in terms of type advantages. Its immunity to cold means it will also have a significant advantage against Ice-type Pokémon."
The shimmering Growlithe remained alertly perched on the rock, its eyes, almost entirely obscured by its mane, fixed intently on Ye Yinchuan.
It let out a low "whoosh" sound, but did not immediately launch an attack, nor did it lower its guard.
Clearly, it had sensed the unique aura emanating from Ye Yinchuan, but it still kept its distance.
"Family members, look!"
Ye Yinchuan pointed to the Growlithe's reaction.
"This shows that it is very vigilant."
"But I'm still curious, although the Growlithe can adapt to both volcanoes and cold environments, where exactly does this cold zone inside the volcano come from?"
As he spoke, Ye Yinchuan began to have some guesses!
