My beast can't be a demon.

Chapter 201 Prepare to Evolve
After listening to Zhou Lu's story, Wu Xiaoqing was silent for a while.

"No, I'm worried about you investigating this kind of thing alone." Wu Xiaoqing said affirmatively, "I don't know if we can contact that guy, but he has quite a few connections in Xin Yue, so he can definitely help you."

That guy...

Zhou Lu immediately understood that Wu Xiaoqing was probably talking about her senior fellow student Ouyang Xiao.

"There is also the matter of Sister Qingyu." Zhou Lu also added.

Wu Xiaoqing nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, yes, it would be outrageous if you don't come forward when your girlfriend is being targeted."

As she spoke, Wu Xiaoqing took out her cell phone.

He should be trying to contact Ouyang Xiao.

In the end, I don’t know if it succeeded or not.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhou Lu stood up and said goodbye to Wu Xiaoqing.

Relying on protection from outsiders will not last long after all, he still needs to improve his own strength as soon as possible.

This time, the secret realm Zhou Lu chose was the secret realm of mountains and rivers that he had been to before.

The Secret Realm of Mountains and Rivers, as the name suggests, is the world of mountains.

Mountains, canyons, caves...

Dammed lakes, waterfalls, underwater caves...

There are so many hidden places here.

Many caves have been uninhabited for a long time. They were only entered by the pioneers, and few people have set foot there since then.

There are a large number of rare spiritual beasts between the mountains and in the caves.

Every year, scholars discover new species in the mysterious mountains and rivers.

However, a truly powerful spiritual beast would not limit its habitat to a small cave.

But as long as it is a spiritual beast, it always has extraordinary powers.

Even if it is not strong, it is possible to be killed at first sight due to lack of understanding.

To this end, Zhou Lu also made as much preparation as possible.

In fact, as long as Benben is around, Zhou Lu basically doesn’t need to worry about things like first sight killing.

No matter what kind of spirit beast attacked them, as long as it had the desire to attack Zhou Lu and his party, the attack was destined to fall on Benben.

Since you are choosing to go to a place with fewer people, you naturally cannot go to a safe area.

Zhou Lu was teleported to the selected transmission node as planned.

Then he was confused.

Looking at the vast mountains in front of him, Zhou Lu blinked in confusion, then looked down at the map.

Gan!
The mountains here all look similar, and there is no strict east, south, west, or north in the secret realm. Where am I going?
Zhou Lu squatted near the node and looked at the map for a long time.

During this process, some beastmasters came to this transmission node one after another.

Everyone's performance was surprisingly consistent.

I was confused at first, then I squatted down to look at the map.

Following his guess, Zhou Lu climbed down the mountain.

As a result, not long after, he lost his way again in the vast mountains.

After Zhou Lu realized that he was lost again, he decisively gave up struggling.

Anyway, my goal is to find a secret place for Hanabi to evolve, and it doesn't have to be the cave I have chosen.

Just walk far enough away from the transmission node.

Although Zhou Lu was lost, he actually had no problem returning to the teleportation node.

Ever since she first taught Hanabi, every time Hanabi came to a strange place, she would use her own branches, leaves and vines to mark the way along the way.

When you need to go back, just follow your own breath and you can quickly find the way back.

But soon, Zhou Lu came to another question:
This mountain road is really difficult to walk on.

In just a short distance, he had already climbed over five hills.

The surrounding environment has gradually completely lost all traces of human activities. If Zhou Lu had not been persistent in brushing up his attributes every day, and his physique had been permanently strengthened by the [Dragon Talisman], he would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago.

Sure enough, it won’t work without a mount.

Zhou Lu sat on a big rock to rest, raised his head and fixed his gaze on the towering cliff not far away.

Secret realms like the Yueshan Ruins are not so large, so they can be easily explored without relying on mounts.

But in a super large secret realm like the Mountain and River Secret Realm, it would be really difficult to walk without a mount.

Zhou Lu wasn't sure how big of a commotion the Fireworks' evolution would make.

So in order to stay away from human habitation as much as possible, it is better to go further away.

On the cliff, between the clouds, Zhou Lu could vaguely see the shadows of a few tits.

Judging from its size, it should be able to be used as a means of transportation.

"Hua Huo." Zhou Lu said to Hua Huo, "Let's go get a mount."

"Yo~!" Huahuo patted the leaves happily.

The process of capturing the mount was simpler than Zhou Lu had imagined.

It was still the fishing method that Hua Huo was most familiar with.

However, this time, Huohua did not use Benben as bait. In the eyes of these birds, its flying branches were obviously more attractive.

After successfully luring a tit down, Hanabi's true colors were revealed.

Poison vines shot out from the flying branches and directly poisoned the greedy titmouse.

Then, just like last time, Zhou Lu used the Beast Tamer's ability to sign a temporary Beast Taming Contract with the Shanque.

This tit is a second-order form of the lesser tit.

Although its size has become much larger than that of the little tit, it is still a little difficult to ride.

Fortunately, it can still hold Zhou Lu and fly in the sky, and the speed is not slow.

Coupled with his gentle personality, Zhou Lu was actually very satisfied.

After feeding the titmouse with red leaf buds and a bottle of healing potion, Zhou Lu took a short rest on the spot.

During the rest time, the little grass seemed to have some creative ideas and was weaving something with its vines.

It was not until they were ready to set off that Zhou Lu got a general idea of ​​the situation.

This is a vine woven basket.

It’s very big and can easily accommodate Zhou Lu.

Hanabi probably weaved such a basket because she was worried that she would get hurt if she was constantly grabbed by the titmouse.

Xiao Caocao let the titmouse hold the basket and fly in the air, and used the vines to lead Zhou Lu into the basket.

Hanabi didn't sit inside with Zhou Lu, but climbed onto the tit.

After using the [Lilliput] skill to shrink herself, Hanabi was indeed able to ride on the titmouse.

This is a good thing, as Fireworks has a broader perspective and can avoid some dangers in advance.

Following Zhou Lu's command, the titmouse flapped its wings and took off.

Hanabi's hat was blown up by the wind, and she had to use the vines to hold it down.

“Woo! Woo! Woo!”

Facing the mountain breeze, Hanabi made strange noises with the leaf phonograph on her chest.

Although it is weird, it has a sense of lightness and freedom.

The titmouse seemed to be infected by the sound of the fireworks and also started chirping a few times.

When Hanabi heard the titmouse's cry, she thought it was hungry, so she took out some food from the Moon Mountain Ding on its tail and handed it to the titmouse.

The titmouse was a little confused, but gladly accepted the food in front of it.

The group flew happily towards the mountains.

Fly to a destination where even Zhou Lu doesn’t know where it is.
