My beast can't be a demon.

Chapter 225 Someone is overcoming the tribulation! (4K)

The blue-striped giant octopus is a specialty of the secret island.

Although it was far smaller than the real giants, when Hanabi pulled it out of the sea, everyone fell into a brief silence as they looked at the huge octopus that occupied almost the entire deck.

No.

The script we imagined was to fight back, right?
What's the matter with you pulling the octopus up directly?

The octopus was obviously also in a daze.

I was just staying in the sea, what the hell did I end up in? Is this still the sea?

However, Hanabi obviously would not give the octopus monster any more time to understand its current situation.

Hanaho, who had already learned a lot of seafood cooking techniques from books and video tutorials, couldn't wait to see such ingredients.

If the ship wasn't sailing in the storm, it would probably have made a feast on the spot.

Zhou Lu had no choice but to stop Hua Huo who was sharpening his knife.

At this time, ensuring the safety of the ship is the main thing.

"My classmate." At this moment, a beastmaster with the Yizhou Beast Taming Academy badge on his chest ran up to Zhou Lu and said, "I want to make a contract with this spirit pet. How many credits are you willing to sell it for?"

When Zhou Lu heard the other party's question, he was also slightly stunned.

He had been completely misled by fireworks just now, and subconsciously thought that this giant octopus could only be used as food, and never thought of selling it to other beastmasters as a spiritual pet.

In fact, similar things are not uncommon in secret realms.

According to the unspoken rules of the secret realm, the right to dispose of the spirit beast belongs to the beastmaster who defeats it.

Even those villains who attempted to rob actually recognized this principle, otherwise they would not have chosen to rob.

The blue-striped giant octopus is a sea monster that roams the ocean, and its strength should not be underestimated. It just happened to encounter Fireworks that was sanctioning it.

The Beastmaster in front of him was not the only one who had similar thoughts.

After seeing someone get there first, many people sighed and turned away.

"Of course you can." Zhou Lu did not refuse. After all, he did not include the blue-striped giant octopus in his contract list.

The deal was done quickly.

The other party gave Zhou Lu a large amount of credits according to the market price of a third-level spirit beast.

This is a thousand credits, and the other party does not have that many credits. He had to borrow from people on the ship before he could barely get enough credits.

For him, this debt is definitely heavy, but in exchange for owning a third-level spirit pet at the stage of a second-level beastmaster, it is definitely worth it!
In fact, this was a fair price offer made by Zhou Lu without any intention of bargaining.

In fact, as a powerful spiritual pet in the sea, the price of a third-level blue-striped giant octopus at the auction house may not be capped at 2,000 credits.

With the conclusion of the Beast Taming Contract, the lucky man put the blue-striped giant octopus, which was still in a daze, into the Beast Taming Card.

Then he released it from the Beast Taming Card and threw it into the sea.

At this moment, the octopus monster finally understood his situation.

But when it thought of the terrifying plant sharpening its knife against it, it suddenly felt that this ending was not so bad.

So he obeyed the orders of his new master and began to escort this lonely boat in the ocean wholeheartedly.

With the escort of the giant octopus, they never encountered attacks from sea beasts along the way. The only things they had to face were storms and raging waves on the sea.

Amidst waves of turbulence, the ship entered the harbor of Dongshan Island.

Even without anyone's reminder, Zhou Lu had already seen the storm petrel circling in the sky.

They are truly the elves in the storm.

In such a violent storm, it was still flying freely in the air, as if the strong wind that could blow down the trees did not exist at all.

Under the circling of the storm petrels, the storm on Dongshan Island seemed to be even more severe.

Bean-sized raindrops, driven by wind, hit people's faces like pebbles.

If Zhou Lu hadn't felt the wet rain on his face, he would have thought he was hit by hail.

Fireworks used its rapid growth to quickly weave a mobile canopy around Zhou Lu, thus keeping the heavy rain out.

But even so, just by hearing the sound of rain hitting the awning, Zhou Lu knew that this mission might not be easy to complete.

It was now a problem for him to approach these storm petrels.

Compared to Zhou Lu's comfort, the others in his group were not so lucky.

As soon as they got off the boat, they were warmly welcomed by the strong wind.

Someone just summoned his own pet and tried to resist, but when he turned around, he found that his pet was blown away.

In comparison, fireworks appear much more stable.

But even it avoids being shaken by strong winds by firmly rooting its roots into the soil.

Fortunately, the safety teacher took action in time and rescued several unlucky people who were blown away by the wind.

"Are you still going in?" One of the teachers looked at Zhou Lu and asked while settling the students. "It might be even more dangerous in there. Where is your security officer?"

"I signed the application and didn't ask the security teacher to follow me." Zhou Lu said, "Don't worry, teacher. I'll be fine."

The other party looked at Zhou Lu deeply.

It seems that this kind of application can only be signed by students above level three?
It seems that I am indeed meddling in other people's business.

Looking at the student in front of him who stood firm in the storm, he was probably not much weaker than himself.

As the safety teachers and students left, the harbor, which had been bustling just a moment ago, was suddenly deserted again.

Because of the severity of the animal disaster, all the people here have been evacuated.

It seems that the rewards offered by those big companies are not attractive enough.

Zhou Lu thought in his heart, and began to move towards the center of the storm under the protection of fireworks.

Dongshan Island is a typical rainforest island, and the entire island is covered with dense trees.

Among them, the three-fruit coconut trees unique to the secret island are the most numerous.

Many coconut trees have even transformed into extraordinary beings and become spiritual beasts.

As soon as we arrived in the forest, we entered the home of fireworks.

Little Caocao skillfully took out various gifts and greeted the surrounding plants.

But soon, Hanabi came back defeated.

Zhou Lu was also shocked when he saw Hua Huo's helpless look.

Could it be that the plants in the secret island have some special quirks? How could a grass-type succubus like Hanabi be useless here?

Only after Zhou Lu started to empathize and share his thoughts with Hua Huo did he finally understand.

It’s not that the charm of fireworks has disappeared.

Rather, it was the previous experiences that made the plants on this island suspicious.

According to Hanabi, a group of humans dressed as a scientific research expedition team came to the island before.

They deceived the plant and beast creatures on Dongshan Island by claiming that they were helping to protect the island's ecology.

I don’t know what these people did on this island.

Soon after, a huge storm rose with Dongshan Island as its center.

In an instant, it covered the surrounding sea areas.

Although they are used to wind and rain, such strong winds are rare.

Many large trees eventually failed to survive and fell down in the strong winds.

These plant spirit beasts felt very familiar when they saw Huo Huo, but because there was a human being with Huo Huo, they did not dare to trust him too much.

There are humans involved in this?

Zhou Lu immediately smelled the scent of conspiracy. Something was wrong, absolutely wrong!
At this moment, Hanabi seemed to sense something.

The vines rolled up, and a green curtain blocked the way ahead.

boom!
boom!
With two loud bangs before and after, Fireworks' vine curtain firmly blocked this attack.

Because the team was attacked, Benben's newly learned damage tracking skill was triggered, and Huohua immediately found the source of the attack.

Zhou Lu was just about to use empathy to get a rough idea when the system's voice rang in his ears.

[Ding! The host is sensed to be approaching the calamity scene, and the relevant tasks are updated. ]

The scene of the tribulation?

Zhou Lu was stunned when he heard the system prompt.

Anyone who has read any online novels about cultivating immortals knows the meaning of this word.

He felt that this matter was strange, but he didn't expect that there would be such a shocking story behind it.

He has already gone through the tribulation, so the other party is definitely not an ordinary immortal.

Zhou Lu immediately became alert. He told Hua Huo not to act rashly and to passively defend himself. At the same time, he quickly opened the system to check the content of the task, hoping that it would provide him with some information.

[Optional mission: Escort Li Dongze to escape from the secret realm]

[Task Introduction: Li Dongze, the third son of the Xinyue Li family. He was ambushed and killed by Zhou Lu when he broke through the fourth level. Because he failed to leave the secret realm alive, Zhou Lu was able to continue to hide. Save his life and escort him out of the secret realm, so that people can be on guard against Zhou Lu early.]

[Task Reward: 1 Beast Tamer Skill Card of your choice, 5 Spirit Beast Materials of your choice]

Zhou Lu took a deep look at the system interface.

It is obvious that this guy named Li Dongze is using the storm here to seek a breakthrough.

Xin Yue Li family?

It is indeed one of the best super families.

Their family's presence can be seen in most of the beast-controlling technology industries throughout the world.

As a former family of divine beasts, the fact that they are still able to possess such a powerful force even after the inheritance of the divine beasts was cut off is enough to show how powerful they are.

Would the descendants of the once mythical beast family choose to become immortals?
Zhou Lu was not surprised by this, he just found it a little funny.

While they were talking, the enemy hiding in the distance seemed to be getting restless.

Unfortunately, his whereabouts were clearly visible to Huo Huo, who had already completed the division and arrangement.

Hua Huo has already locked onto the opponent and is just waiting for Zhou Lu's order.

"Let's catch one first." Zhou Lu didn't hesitate for too long and gave the order to Hua Huo decisively.

Hanabi's movements were also swift.

Before the opponent even had time to react, he was entangled by the vines that suddenly appeared behind him and was poisoned and passed out.

"Got it!" Hanabi said in a pieced-together voice.

The fact that he could be caught so easily shows that the other party is not Li Dongze.

Li Dongze is a half-step quasi-god, and he should not be knocked down directly by such an attack.

The facts were just as Zhou Lu had guessed.

The other party is indeed an immortal, but he is definitely not Li Dongze.

While Hua Huo was standing on the other person to absorb strength, Zhou Lu quickly looked through the other person's personal belongings.

There was nothing of value, not even any identification.

Zhou Lu had no choice but to take out a black inscription mushroom.

This inscription mushroom records the skills of Death Nightmare.

Zhou Lu had to persuade Death Nightmare to use the dreaming skill on him after much persuasion.

Crushing the mushroom, the skill recorded in it was activated, and Zhou Lu successfully entered the other party's dream.

People who have not received professional training are not at all prepared for Zhou Lu's questions in their dreams.

From the other party, Zhou Lu confirmed the presence of Li Dongze on the island.

This at least proves that the system is not talking nonsense.

So, after Zhou Lu's detailed questioning, Li Dongze's plan appeared clearly in front of Zhou Lu.

The storm that swept across the entire safe zone was not caused by the storm petrels. The real reason was the formation set up by Li Dongze on Dongshan Island.

This formation called the Four Seas Thunder Wind Destruction Formation is one of the tribulation formations of the ancient sect Benlei Sect.

As the gate formation of a powerful immortal sect, it does have its unique features.

Although a large amount of energy is required to supply it, this formation has objectively focused everyone's attention on Storm Petrel and Storm, and few people will notice the immortal who is breaking through during the storm.

Li Dongze had already started preparing for this breakthrough.

Considering the noise caused by the tribulation, a storm similar to it is definitely the best cover.

Although similar weather often occurs in the secret island, there must be a reason for the storm that lasts for nearly a month.

Therefore, Baoyu Haiyan, who had similar abilities, was chosen by Li Dongze to be the scapegoat.

As the plan was implemented, they discovered some unexpected gains.

Since the population of common storm petrels

Without the ability to cause such a scene, people naturally wondered whether there was a god-like individual among this group of petrels.

But humans have all the records of the evolution of the storm petrel.

This kind of spiritual beast is also a typical spiritual beast that has broken through the theoretical upper limits of nature due to the research of human beastmasters.

If the Storm Petrel wants to evolve to the fourth level or even the fifth level, it needs materials unique to other secret realms.

In the natural secret island environment, it is impossible for fourth- and fifth-level storm petrels to appear.

So naturally, people began to suspect whether the petrel, the mythical beast in the Invalides, was involved in this incident.

As an immortal, even though his family was once a family of divine beasts, Li Dongze still hates the existence of the Rongjunyuan.

If, because of this incident, the mythical beast the petrel is no longer trusted by humans and is abandoned, that would be the best thing ever.

The skills of Death Nightmare are indeed useful.

In such a short period of time, Zhou Lu had already roughly understood the other party's general plan and process.

He even saw a way to break the formation under his feet.

That’s it… Zhou Lu reviewed the formation in his mind, then looked at the towering trees around him, and suddenly felt a headache.

The theoretical map is just a theoretical map. Now I am in the forest and have no way to overlook the island, so I can't find the structure of the formation at all.

While Zhou Lu was having a headache, Hua Huo was preparing lunch.

Xiao Caocao wanted to open the coconut in front of him.

But I couldn't find the right tool.

Fortunately, its roots finally touched a hard object.

Hanabi dug it out without hesitation.

It is indeed a handy tool.

A hard white jade pearl.

The moment Hua Huo dug out the white jade pearl from the ground, the entire sky seemed to be hit in half by something and cracked instantly.

Bright sunshine slanted down through the cracks in the clouds.

The storm seems to have stopped...
