My beast can't be a demon.

Chapter 232 I Just Ate Their Building
After coming out of the secret island, Zhou Lu set off for Xin Yue.

On the way, his thoughts were still not out of his mind from what happened in the secret island.

Fireworks used the bonuses from the two Doom Easter Eggs to gain a large number of attributes and several racial skills.

However, the petals of the Nine-Life Immortal Grass that fell from the sea snake's forehead have always bothered Zhou Lu.

Hanabi was very sure that this petal did not belong to it.

So is the owner of this petal still alive?

Does this mean that there is another Nine-Life Immortal Grass still alive in this world?
There is no doubt that the abnormal state of the sea snake is most likely caused by this petal, which may be some kind of parasitic skill.

This point was also recognized by Xiao Xi.

"But the skill cards I have don't have this feature." Xiao Xi said to Zhou Lu.

Xiao Xi didn't finish her words.

After all, skill cards only appeared with the Dao-Seeking Wood, and Xiao Xi’s knowledge did not include all the skills of the spirit beasts in the world.

I don’t know if this will be an isolated case.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived in Xin Yuezhou.

He turned his head and glanced at the dragon-shaped plane behind him.

This is the product of beast taming technology in recent years.

Due to the development of the beast taming system, people in the early years used various large spiritual pets as their means of transportation.

However, in the new millennium, with the development of beast taming technology, many of the jobs originally performed by spirit pets were gradually replaced by beast taming technology products.

The airplane was also born in this context.

Compared to supporting several living dragons, this kind of steel machinery is obviously cheaper.

If Zhou Lu remembered correctly, with the advent of airplanes, a large number of beastmasters who originally relied on flying pets for transportation business became unemployed.

Nowadays, these beastmasters can only be responsible for rescue work in some dangerous airspaces.

The decline of these beastmasters is, in a sense, a microcosm of many professional beastmasters.

With the development of animal taming technology, the value of spiritual pets in the real world seems to be increasingly leaning towards pets.

Considering that there are no external enemies in this world.

It seems that the whole society needs beastmasters less and less.

This is not something you need to consider.

Zhou Lu laughed and turned around, and saw a sign with his name held high among the crowd of people waiting to pick him up at the airport.

"Sister Xiaoqing." Zhou Lu walked forward. The person who came to greet him was Wu Xiaoqing, who had arrived at the New Guangdong Beast Academy in advance.

Wu Xiaoqing saw Zhou Lu and smiled: "You seem to have arrived a little later than planned."

"I took Hanabi and Benben to a secret place to test out our new skills."

"Oh? What was the result?"

"It was a lot of fun." Although he had some doubts about the petals, it was an objective fact that the fireworks had a lot of fun with the help of the [Doom Easter Egg], Zhou Lu recalled.

Wu Xiaoqing took Zhou Lu and walked out of the airport.

Looking at Wu Xiaoqing who was leading the way, Zhou Lu suddenly thought and asked, "What about you? Did Xin Yue College make things difficult for you?"

"Difficult?" Wu Xiaoqing blinked and said, "I don't feel that way. They are quite nice people. They even arranged a separate laboratory for me."

This surprised Zhou Lu a little.

What Wu Xiaoqing did at the New Guangdong Beast Taming Academy back then, her act of using every possible means to extract materials from plant pets, almost caused the biggest crisis in the history of the New Guangdong Beast Taming Academy.

In order to get the materials he wanted from these plant pets, this guy did not hesitate to disguise himself as the pet's owner and confess his love to these pets.

Among the beastmasters who suffered that year, there were not only students, but also many teachers and professors from the Beast Taming Academy.

Is this all okay?

Zhou Lu looked at Wu Xiaoqing who was humming a little song in front of him, and muttered to himself.

It seems that the New Guangdong Beast Taming Academy is much more tolerant than he imagined, which makes Zhou Lu feel more at ease.

With a yearning for the new academy, Zhou Lu came to the New Guangdong Beast Academy under the guidance of Wu Xiaoqing.

The New Guangdong Beastmaster Academy is the best academy in the world at cultivating plant spirit pets. The entire academy is covered by a forest.

Zhou Lu got out of the car and listened to the birds singing and the flowers blooming outside. He thought he had arrived at a botanical garden.

Hua Huo nestled in Zhou Lu's arms, looking at the numerous and unusually tall older sisters around her, and sighed with emotion.

Although there are a lot of vegetation in Xin'an Beastmaster Academy, there are very few such huge plant pets. Although many plant pets in the breeding department have a good relationship with Huo Huo, most of them only like to give birth to children rather than fight.

This is somewhat in conflict with Huahuo's preferences.

The little grass has no relatives of its kind, so naturally it has no urge to reproduce.

"Do you plan to live in the dormitory or rent a house outside?" Wu Xiaoqing asked.

"What's the difference?"

"It depends on whether you want to deal with your roommate or not."

"Then let's rent a house outside." Zhou Lu said.

In Hanabi's case, the less contact with others the better.

Wu Xiaoqing chuckled: "Then you can live in my lab! My house is quite big."

Zhou Lu looked at Wu Xiaoqing and said, "First of all, a laboratory is not suitable for living, right? Hurry up and change those bad habits from your hometown!"

Although this Beast Taming Academy is covered by forests, all the necessary buildings are still there.

The largest building Zhou Lu saw when he entered the door was the college library.

Then the two teaching buildings guard the central library.

Wu Xiaoqing took Zhou Lu and walked inside.

In the middle, we also passed by a construction site where people were working busily with the help of various spirit pets.

"It seems that the conditions in Xinyue are better than ours." Zhou Lu said with emotion after seeing this scene, "The college actually has money to build a new building."

"Haha, I'm indeed rich." Wu Xiaoqing smiled perfunctorily.

Zhou Lu looked at Wu Xiaoqing's expression and felt a little strange.

While talking, Wu Xiaoqing brought Zhou Lu to her laboratory.

This is a two-story cottage located in the forest.

Looking at the various mushrooms in the house, if Wu Xiaoqing hadn't said that this was her laboratory, Zhou Lu would have thought it was some witch's house.

Zhou Lu was originally a little apprehensive about Wu Xiaoqing's lab, but thinking about Xiaoqing's character, he finally decided to trust her this time. "It seems that the people here really don't hold grudges." When Zhou Lu directed Hua Huo to take out the luggage, he did not forget to say to Wu Xiaoqing, "You cheated a lot of professors back then. Many professors' stains are still because of you. They actually arranged such a good lab for you."

"It's not that I don't bear grudges. All of this was achieved through my own efforts," Wu Xiaoqing said proudly.

Seeing Wu Xiaoqing like this, Zhou Lu immediately had a bad feeling: "Fuck, what did you do?"

"I didn't do anything..." When Zhou Lu asked, Wu Xiaoqing raised her hand and scratched her cheek, smiling awkwardly, "It's just that the experimental conditions were not well controlled, and the mushrooms escaped out of control and ate the entire laboratory building."

"..."

Zhou Lu immediately thought of the house that was under construction.

It seems like you ate up someone else's building!
"You can't blame me for this." Wu Xiaoqing felt Zhou Lu's suspicious eyes, and immediately put her hands on her hips, puffed her cheeks and said, "If you want to blame someone, blame them for deliberately targeting me when I came here and arranging the worst laboratory conditions for me."

"If the laboratory conditions weren't so poor and the airtightness couldn't be guaranteed, how could those mushrooms escape? Have you ever seen me cause this kind of trouble in Xin'an?"

After hearing what Wu Xiaoqing said, Zhou Lu thought about it and realized it was true.

When Wu Xiaoqing was in Xin'an, although the experimental results were a little bit incredible, there had never been an accident where the influence of fungi spread beyond the laboratory.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that Wu Xiaoqing was indeed targeted when she first arrived.

"Come to think of it, what kind of fungus are you researching these days? It's so powerful that it can eat up the entire laboratory building of the academy."

"Rock-eating fungi." Wu Xiaoqing said, "The pioneering army encountered many difficult new rock-type spirit beasts in the new secret realm that has not yet been opened. I was wondering if I could develop a fungus to deal with these spirit beasts."

After a pause, Wu Xiaoqing continued, "Well, they can also be used to demolish abandoned buildings. At least from the experimental results, they are fully capable of doing this."

The results...

Sister Xiaoqing, you said you didn’t mean it!
Wu Xiaoqing seemed to have misunderstood Zhou Lu's meaning and said with a smile: "Don't worry, this building will not be eaten."

Is this what I care about?

Zhou Lu complained in his heart.

Hua Huo moved quickly and had almost finished decorating the room in a short while.

Although it is a two-story building, the overall area is not large.

There are only two rooms on the second floor, one of which is Wu Xiaoqing's room.

But Huahu didn't dislike it at all, and even became more motivated.

Because there is only one room, my master and I will have to sleep in the same room for the next year!

Although it had sneaked into Zhou Lu's room many times when it was in Xin'an, it was still different from doing it openly like this.

In comparison, Benben seems much calmer.

It floats beside Hanabi and is used by her as a vacuum cleaner to absorb dust from time to time.

Looking at Hua Huo and Ben Ben cleaning the room, Zhou Lu didn't know what to say for a moment.

"It's called exchange and learning, but it actually depends entirely on you." On the side, Wu Xiaoqing was communicating with Zhou Lu about related experiences.

She once came here to study as an exchange student.

Of course, this period of time is very short.

"I think you can find a few partners here to explore the secret realm together." Wu Xiaoqing gave Zhou Lu a suggestion, "Although your Fireworks is very powerful, the battles of plant pets actually require a lot of imagination and ideas. You can learn similar combat techniques from other beast masters."

The battle between plant pets is mainly a confrontation of imagination.

Zhou Lu deeply agreed with this point.

The combination of [Stem Walking] + [Crazy Growth] alone creates countless possibilities.

The parasitic ramets of fireworks, the leaf phonograph, etc. all have their own unique ideas.

However, ideas and thoughts are rare, so learning becomes more and more important.

Fireworks has a very strong learning ability. Coupled with its succubus physique among plant pets, it can definitely learn a lot of combat skills from the plant pets it owns.

At this point, Wu Xiaoqing said with emotion: "Unknowingly, you have already reached the third level. In the blink of an eye, you will surpass me."

After hearing what Wu Xiaoqing said, Zhou Lu thought for a moment and asked, "Sister Xiaoqing, how about you? How is the preparation for the fourth-order evolution of the curse frog going?"

The level of Wu Xiaoqing's curse frog is not low, and it is fully prepared to evolve to the fourth level.

But ever since Zhou Lu met Wu Xiaoqing, he has never seen her worry about the evolution of her spirit pet.

"The materials are almost ready." Wu Xiaoqing put down the documents in her hand after hearing Zhou Lu's question, and said after thinking for a while, "But I have been through too many things recently, and now I am busy with the construction of the laboratory, so I don't have time to collect the final materials."

Wu Xiaoqing is actually not that keen on beast taming battles.

But she also knew how important it was to have a quasi-god-level curse frog.

This is not just a matter of strength. The most solid backing for her various suicidal experiments is the existence of the cursed frog.

Also, if she wasn't strong enough, she would really be killed by people who coveted her research results.

"Is there anything I can help with?" Zhou Lu asked immediately.

Wu Xiaoqing was stunned, then smiled and said, "Of course you can, but the prerequisite is that you must first pass the B-level exploration certificate. The remaining materials are all in secret realms above B level."

After being reminded by Wu Xiaoqing, Zhou Lu suddenly remembered that he seemed to have not yet passed the B-level exploration certificate.

This is the certificate for entering the B-level secret realm!
Now, Huo Huo is fully capable of entering the B-level secret realm.

Considering that the number of spirit beasts in the B-level secret realm is definitely greater than that in the C-level secret realm, Zhou Lu, who has already mastered a skill set that can 100% brush attributes, naturally wants to go there.

"I'm going to take an exam in a few days." Zhou Lu said.

Wu Xiaoqing was not surprised by this. With Hua Huo's strength, it was reasonable for her to be able to do this.

It can even be said that it is a little late.

Many beastmasters take the B-level exploration certificate exam when their pets reach the second level.

The contents of the exploration certificate exams are similar, except that the enemies you need to face will become stronger.

For others, the troublesome part is that they have to fight against their attributes.

But this is not a problem for Hanabi.

Relying on the racial skills of the sticky baby, Fireworks is a rare grass-type pet that is not afraid of fire.

Therefore, Zhou Lu actually had nothing to worry about regarding the exploration certificate exam.

"Speaking of which, I should also report to the college." After Hua Huo cleaned up the room, Zhou Lu remembered that he still had such an important thing to do.

Only after reporting to the academy can one's credits be connected to the system of the New Guangdong Beast Academy, so that one can use the credits to trade on the academy forum.

Well, Xiao Xi seemed to say that the general education fairy in this academy was an old acquaintance of hers.

After finishing the report, I'll go look for that generalist fairy.
