My beast can't be a demon.

Chapter 173: Fireworks Wants a New Pot
Zhou Lu had actually made very bad plans for his adventure in the Yueshan Ruins.

But he never expected to encounter such a disaster on the first day of entering the secret realm.

The environment of the camping site they originally chose was pretty good.

After last night's insect swarm, all life around had withered.

The only consolation is that because the number of hidden poisonous insects is so large, Huo Huo not only gained a lot of attributes through the fierce battle last night, but also obtained the racial skills of the hidden poisonous insects.

[Hidden Poison]: Hidden Poison Bug racial skill. The poison status you inflict is difficult to detect.

To be honest, this skill is quite useful in conjunction with Hanabi's poison skills and [Poison Stun].

Perhaps because he had obtained a new skill, Zhou Lu’s mood was not too bad.

"We have to find a new campsite." Xu Wuhu said, "This time we shouldn't camp in an open area."

What happened last night seemed like a nightmare.

Although they got through it successfully, Xu Wuhu didn't want to go through it again.

Moonlight Roses are very difficult to find. Without a fixed campsite, they would have to spend more than half of their time dealing with various daily chores.

This is an absolute waste of their time.

Zhou Lu naturally also affirmed Xu Wuhu's suggestion.

This time, they found a cave as a temporary camp.

With the Night Goddess Fungus, they don't need to worry about being blocked by the door and lacking oxygen.

While Zhou Lu and Xu Wuhu were cleaning up the messy camp, Hua Huo collected the corpses of the poisonous insects on the ground and pressed them into insect cakes.

They proved their worth well last night.

At least as a fuel, it doesn't have any obvious disadvantages other than being toxic and smelly.

Well, it's safer than those poisonous trees anyway.

With the experience of the first time, Zhou Lu and Xu Wuhu conducted a very detailed inspection of the new camping site.

After making sure there were no hidden dangers, they began to set up camp in a familiar manner.

Hua Huo and the Golden Armored Rat began to build fortifications outside the cave to prevent attacks from spirit beasts.

During this process, the small grass also used its vines and branch roots to reinforce the entrance of the cave.

Benben was placed behind the two beastmasters who were working to attract the surrounding poisonous insects.

[Why do I feel like an insect exterminator now?]
Benben didn't forget to complain to Huahuo.

Xiao Caocao drew a small flower on Benben's body.

[A reward for you~!]
[Do you think I'm a child? ] Benben complained speechlessly.

After hesitating for a while, Xiao Caocao said to Benben: [How could it be? At least the child is born... You are not born yet.]
Hua Huo paused, thought for a few seconds, and defined Benben: [You are at most a placenta.]
Benben felt his anger rising.

Fireworks chuckled, then ran away while wriggling its roots.

With the experience of the first time, the camp was set up very quickly this time.

Not long after Zhou Lu and Xu Wuhu set up the camp, Hua Huo had also completed the layout of the outer defensive fortifications.

Under Zhou Lu's instructions, Hua Huo began to take out various tools from the snail shell.

"No... why did you bring a refrigerator?" Xu Wuhu was still marveling at Hua Huo's carrying ability and her unique power to enlarge and shrink objects.

But when he saw Hanabi pull out a refrigerator from her tail, he couldn't help himself.

"Because some materials need to be refrigerated." Zhou Lu said.

"But this is a refrigerator, right?" Xu Wuhu asked, "You didn't bring any power generation equipment, did you?"

Zhou Lu chuckled and said to Xiao Caocao, "Hua Huo, give him an electric shock!"

Hanabi understood immediately.

Crackling!

Hanabi successfully started the refrigerator.

It also left a branch next to the refrigerator as a temporary battery. Thanks to the powerful beast technology, the power consumption of this wilderness survival equipment can be said to be extremely low.

Even an electrical spirit pet like Huo Huo, who only started to develop this skill, has mastered the skills to start and maintain equipment and the ability to run equipment for a long time.

In a modern civilized world, even when exploring in secret places, it is not very convenient without electricity.

Zhou Lu felt that the mission to obtain the electric attribute was very profitable.

After having a simple meal in the camp, Zhou Lu officially began his exploration of the Yueshan ruins.

This secret place is actually a sect of poison cultivators.

They are actually only active on the edge of the secret realm and have not yet entered the core area of ​​the secret realm.

The reason why we don't station there is because it is more dangerous than here.

That’s the lair of the poison cultivator.

Even if more than a thousand years have passed, you cannot guarantee whether there are any strange poisonous substances in those human buildings.

Of the many deaths that occur at Yueshan Ruins every year, eighty to ninety percent are caused by unknown poisons in the ruins.

Zhou Lu opened the map.

"Sergeant, do you have any good suggestions?" He first asked Xu Wuhu for his advice.

While Xu Wuhu was breaking nuts and feeding them to his pet, he said, "If you want to find Moonlight Rose, you should first explore the places where Moonlight Rose has been found, right?"

He came here this time without a clear purpose.

As long as there is fighting, that's all.

Of course, the scene last night definitely doesn't count.

If Hua Huo hadn't been there, Xu Wuhu felt that facing an insect swarm of that size, he would have had no choice but to fight hard.

Zhou Lu actually had a similar idea.

He quickly identified the location.

After a simple packing, the two of them officially set off.

Starting from the cave and climbing a slope, the two officially entered the territory of the Poison Cultivation Sect.

Standing at their position and looking from afar, they could see a huge bronze tripod standing proudly on the ground in the center of the sect's ruins.

Surrounding the bronze tripod is a pool filled with dark liquid.

It seemed as if something was moving in the pool.

Zhou Lu quickly withdrew his gaze.

He had no intention of venturing to explore that place unless it was necessary.

Hua Huo, who shrunk her body and stood on Zhou Lu's head, looked at the huge bronze tripod in the distance with a look of longing.

Wow~!

What a big flower pot!
I would be so happy if I could take root in this flowerpot!
Although Huo Huo has now shed its roots from the soil, as a plant, its desire for soil is an instinctive obsession.

Therefore, in the small room Zhou Lu prepared for it, there is still a large basin filled with soil.

If Hanabi didn't sleep in Zhou Lu's room, she would bury her roots in the soil every night.

Then when it wakes up in the morning, it will clean its roots while washing its face.

In a sense, this can be considered as a "brushing teeth" process for Firefly.

I want it so much!
I want it so much~!

Hanabi used her root to scratch Zhou Lu's scalp.

Feeling Xiao Caocao's emotions, Zhou Lu smiled helplessly.

How could he not know what Hanabi was thinking?

However, this bronze tripod has been standing there since the Yueshan ruins were discovered. If it were so easy to move, it would have been moved away long ago.
