My beast can't be a demon.

Chapter 133: Treasure of the Nightmare of Death (4K)

Ye Qingyu did not go to Xin'an Beast Taming Academy with Zhou Lu.

The incident in Fengzhou was too serious, so she was transferred there to assist in the investigation.

However, the nursing team still sent professional personnel to follow Zhou Lu back to the Beast Taming Academy.

Since the Great Thunderbird can't come over for the time being, the search for the Ghost Car Bird tribe will have to be put on hold for the time being.

Zhou Lu looked at his plan and prepared to go to the next secret realm.

He didn't want to schedule his schedule so tightly.

But the second beast taming exam of the sophomore year is just around the corner.

Although with Zhou Lu's current strength, it would be easy for him to pass this beast taming exam.

But he still had no intention of neglecting his duty.

However, proper rest is still necessary.

This time, Zhou Lu did not take Hua Huo and the others out to play.

With the arrival of summer, the temperature outside has become very high.

Even if Huahuo and Benben can bear it, Zhou Lu, a human, can't.

After returning from Ye Qingyu, Zhou Lu began to look through the documents on the bookshelf.

Although he had tried to read the above materials before, it was like a primary school student reading advanced mathematics. The materials in the literature were simply incomprehensible to him.

Zhou Lu forced himself to read for a long time, and it took him twenty minutes to read a hundred words.

In the end, he gave up and asked Sister Xiaoqing to help me make a summary.

Huahuo was lying beside Zhou Lu, with an open book in front of it.

Under Benben's guidance, Huahuo can barely understand the above content.

Zhou Lu walked closer and saw that it was a cookbook.

Hanabi is working on scrambled eggs with chives.

A blade of grass, an egg, are you researching how to make fried eggs with leeks?
Zhou Lu always felt that this scene was a little weird.

Since evolving, Hanabi has obviously become much more sensible.

At least he knew not to put bugs into his owner's cup.

And he no longer randomly attacks those who offend Zhou Lu.

This made Zhou Lu very pleased.

Well~ As expected, spiritual pets will grow up with training and education!
As for the fact that because of Hua Huo's understanding, his chances of getting the system's wool were greatly reduced, Zhou Lu didn't really care about it.

What he really needs can never be obtained through this kind of daily freeloading.

The only things you can get on a daily basis are some growth potions.

Although it is somewhat useful, its level is too low.

Hanabi is now almost using the low-level growth potion as water to wash her feet.

Wash your feet...

Zhou Lu finished drinking the water and smacked his lips.

Then a white root was pulled out from his mouth.

"..."

"..."

"Hua Huo!" Zhou Lu glared speechlessly at Hua Huo who was lying on the ground and secretly looking at him, "What weird thing did you put in my water cup again?"

Hanabi tilted her hat, but quickly understood Zhou Lu's question.

Then Huahuo quickly hugged Benben and started drawing a simple picture.

The content of the painting is very easy to understand.

The elf told Xiaocaocao that the roots of the plant are tonics for humans.

Zhou Lu looked at Hua Huo speechlessly.

He dared to guarantee that Hua Huo had definitely filtered the information from Xiao Xi when processing it.

The little grass probably thought that all roots were as beneficial to humans as ginseng, so it put its own roots in there.

Ok……

Zhou Lu sighed, he was used to it.

Anyway, I've even drunk tea made from fireworks petals, so this is nothing.

Zhou Lu raised his hand and patted Hua Huo's hat, and warned her seriously: "Don't do this kind of thing again in the future!"

After that, he let Hanabi continue reading.

Although the upcoming beast taming exam is nothing to Zhou Lu, he cannot relax at all.

He has set his sights on another target:
Class B exploration certificate.

As long as he can obtain the B-level exploration certificate, Zhou Lu can enter the B-level secret realm for exploration.

There are more rare materials there.

More importantly, when a wild spirit beast reaches the third level, it will have one or two inherent skills.

Hanabi's [Absorption] covers all skills.

However, with Huo Huo's current strength, it is impossible to defeat those large third-level spirit beasts head-on.

Therefore, Zhou Lu’s idea was to enter the safe zone of the B-level secret realm and learn the skills of those weak third-level pets under the protection of the safety teacher.

Of course, before that, even if Fireworks cannot evolve to the third level, it must grow to a very high level.

And it is not so easy to pass the B-level exploration certificate exam.

Firefly's sneak attack and ambush skills are now very advanced, and it lacks the ability to fight in a frontal battle.

Even if there is a Benben in front to help attract the opponent's hatred, if the damage is not enough, sometimes you are helpless when facing many high-defense spirit beasts.

Zhou Lu was very clear that the goal he set this time was a bit high.

He has even stepped into the realm of genius.

Students who can obtain a B-level exploration certificate while studying at the Beast Taming Academy are extremely rare in the entire world.

But Zhou Lu decided to give it a try.

Anyway, we have come this far. Wouldn’t it be a shame if we don’t give it a try?
What's more, many of the materials needed to evolve Fireworks to the third level can only be produced in B-level secret realms.

Even if it's just for Hanabi's evolution, he's going to give it a try.

Besides, two of the treasure locations that Death Nightmare gave him last time were in Class B secret realms.

Um...there is also one in the C-level secret realm.

Zhou Lu thought so and wrote and drew on the paper with "Zootopia Ruins" written on it.

The ruins of the Menagerie, secret realm C0001.

As soon as you see the number you can tell it is definitely not simple.

Although it is only a C-level secret realm, it has extraordinary significance in the eyes of humans in the entire Beast Taming Era.

There are many legends here.

Some even say that there are treasures left behind by legendary beastmasters here.

Before, Zhou Lu always regarded these legends as stories.

Who knew there was such a treasure in there!

But calling it a treasure is not quite appropriate.

In fact, several rebel generals who were beast slaves in the Immortal Sect at that time gathered their belongings and asked He Buwen, the former owner of Death Nightmare, to keep them.

In the words of Death Nightmare: "These guys are very sure that the guy will be the first to run away if he sees danger, so they let him keep it. If they fail, they will give these things to their families."

"What happened to them?"

"Except for that guy, they are all dead." Death Nightmare was looking at the night sky outside. "Their families were also killed by the demon cultivators who suddenly arrived. Not even a child was left. So he didn't return to the beast garden until he was lying on the bed dying."

The uprising against the Immortal Sect had just failed, and right after that, all the family members were killed by the evil cultivators.

Even if it was a coincidence, it was too strange.

"Well~ Why am I telling you so much?" Nightmare of Death yawned and prepared to leave. "The things in the Beast Garden ruins... It's not a good idea for me to take them away. After all, they are the relics of the martyrs."

"Then it's up to you." Death Nightmare looked at Zhou Lu deeply, "Anyway, I've told you what's inside. If you choose to take it, just think of it as inheriting the legacy of your ancestors."

The movement of fireworks brought Zhou Lu back to reality from his memories.

Xiao Caocao was carrying a kettle and was quietly preparing to add water for Zhou Lu.

Noticing that its owner had come to his senses and was looking at it, Hanabi's vines trembled.

But it didn't do anything wrong, so it rubbed Zhou Lu with confidence.

Zhou Lu raised his hand and rubbed Hua Huo's hat, then quickly checked if there was anything strange in the cup.

After confirming that this was indeed a glass of water, Zhou Lu breathed a sigh of relief.

He once again turned his attention back to the menagerie ruins.

I have to say that the bait thrown by the Nightmare of Death is very tempting.

Among the treasures in the Beast Garden ruins are the three materials needed for Fireworks evolution.

This system task "Go to the Menagerie Ruins" also fits the description.

Faced with the absolute benefits, Zhou Lu decided to go.

After all, you can get three materials in just one trip, and this temptation is not something that ordinary people can resist.

However, the system's description of this task does not seem to be very detailed.

It only gives a rough range but does not give the specific location of the three materials.

Zhou Lu completed this point based on the information provided by Death Nightmare.

Could it be that the people who made the system don’t know exactly where these three materials are?
Zhou Lu analyzed.

In the afternoon, Zhou Lu was packing up and putting a series of items needed in the Beast Garden ruins on Hua Huo.

Although the beast garden in the secret realm has been abandoned, it was once a hiding place for a noble immortal sect to raise spiritual beasts, and there are still many powerful spiritual beasts here.

And unlike the spiritual beasts in other secret realms, these spiritual beasts are all descendants of the spiritual beasts raised in the beast garden back then.

As spiritual beasts that were domesticated and then wilded, they are more intelligent and insidious than ordinary spiritual beasts.

If you are not careful, you may suffer great losses at the hands of these spiritual beasts.

Just at this time, someone came to the door.

"Li Yi?"

Zhou Lu was slightly stunned when he saw the person coming.

"Are you free?" Li Yi looked at Zhou Lu and invited him, "Will I treat you to milk tea?"

Zhou Lu did not refuse.

"Hehe, then don't blame me for killing you." Zhou Lu knew that Li Yi must have something to ask for, so he chuckled.

Then he understood and Li Yi handed the phone to him.

"What do you mean?"

"Whatever you want to drink, just order it."

"Hey? Order takeout!" Zhou Lu said speechlessly.

Li Yi rolled his eyes and said, "Nonsense, who would go out in such a hot day?"

As he said that, he walked into Zhou Lu's room and used the air conditioner.

Hua Huo obediently served tea to Li Yi.

"Thank you." Li Yi looked at Hua Huo curiously, "I didn't expect your Hua Huo to have evolved into this state?"

Hua Huo smiled at Li Yi.

It even had a flower blooming on the spot.

Obviously, Li Yi's words were very useful.

Maybe it’s because Li Yi used the name “your firework”.

Li Yi took a sip of tea, then looked helplessly at Zhou Lu who was busy browsing his phone next to him:
"I say, it's just a cup of milk tea, does it take so long?"

"Damn it! I want to get back the electricity bill for the air conditioner!" Zhou Lu made a joke.

He just has difficulty making choices.

"So, is there anything I can help you with?" Zhou Lu asked directly.

He always likes people to state their purpose directly.

You'll have to make a request in the end anyway, so why waste time on being polite up front?
Zhou Lu’s biggest headache is with those people who ask “Are you there?” on messaging apps.

You don't even tell me your purpose, how should I know whether I should answer you?

Fortunately, Li Yi was not the kind of person who liked to hide things, so he said directly: "I want to ask you to do me a favor."

As he spoke, he glanced at Hanabi and said, "To be precise, it's a favor for my family."

Zhou Lu immediately thought of the reason why Li Yi asked for leave during the previous team building.

His breeding base was attacked again.

"Tell me, if I can be of any help."

Li Yi smiled bitterly and took out a few photos: "I would like to ask you to help me catch a batch of Tianbao cockroaches in the secret realm."

Tianbao cockroach...

The name sounds subtle.

Don't get me wrong, they do have a certain relationship with cockroaches, to be precise, they are relatives.

As the main material for spiritual pets and human therapeutic medicines, Tianbao cockroaches are very valuable for breeding.

"Are you planning to raise Tianbao cockroaches at home?" Zhou Lu immediately understood that Li Yi came to him because he was impressed by Hua Huo's efficiency in catching spiritual beasts.

"Yes, to make some technical reserves. I've been in trouble recently. A big family has set its sights on my family's business."

Zhou Lu frowned slightly: "The sticky baby industry... although it is very versatile, the competition is very fierce, right? Such an industry, will the big families be interested in it?"

"I don't know, but my family felt the pressure." Li Yi shook his head and said, "You see, we were attacked one after another shortly after we refused."

Zhou Lu narrowed his eyes immediately.

He was present when the sticky baby breeding base was attacked before.

It was obvious that the group of returning geese were heading for Tianshui.

Zhou Lu immediately sensed the conspiracy.

Could it be that someone wants to take over a few of the sticky baby breeding bases and produce Tianshui on a large scale?

"Do you know which one it is?" Zhou Lu asked casually.

"Of course it's the largest one in Xin'an." Li Yi shook his head and said, "Forget it, this matter is not something we can get involved in."

He pointed to the photo on the table and said, "Fifty Tianbao cockroaches for 1 credit, how about that?"

Zhou Lu thought about it and grinned, "Credits are secondary. Do you have the latest beast-controlling weapons? I want to try them out."

Li Yi was stunned and said, "You are not going to use these to take the Beast Taming Exam, are you?"

Well, even though I guessed wrong, it was very close.

"Tianbao cockroaches are distributed in many places." Zhou Lu coughed twice and changed the subject, "Are there any special secret realm populations in demand?"

This thing is a relative of cockroaches, so its distribution range is naturally very wide.

Basically, except for a few secret realms, most of the secret realms have it.

It even occasionally appears in the real world.

"It's up to you." Li Yi said, "Our family has cooperative merchants in the C-level secret realm. You can go to them to trade when the time comes."

Zhou Lu nodded and said nothing more.

Since there are no requirements for the source of the population.

Then I'll go to the Menagerie ruins to catch it.
