My beast can't be a demon.

Chapter 237 This is a plant
Flame Demon, a spiritual beast with dual attributes of fire and rock.

A creature that lives in volcanic magma, its main body is a rock core with a ball of fire.

It has the racial ability to expand its body by absorbing the surrounding rocks.

Furthermore, as its size increases, its various attributes will increase accordingly, and the damage caused by its skills will also increase significantly.

Under the guidance of the staff, Zhou Lu passed through the secret gate and arrived at the Albus Volcano Secret Realm.

A special area has been set aside for examinations.

What Zhou Lu needs to do is to defeat the only fire demon in this area.

The B-level exploration certificate exam is more than one level more difficult than the C-level exam.

During the C-level exam, the battle field was carefully arranged. The beastmaster could find an environment that could restrain the opponent's pet according to local conditions.

And now, the venue for this exam is randomly selected, which will fully test your familiarity with the secret realm and spiritual beasts.

After explaining some precautions to Zhou Lu, the staff member stepped aside.

Fortunately, there are safety officers for the B-level exam.

A third-level beastmaster will always protect you in secret and help you if the situation goes wrong.

Of course, if the security officer takes action, you will fail the test.

Hanabi has never seen a volcano.

As soon as I arrived here, I looked around curiously.

The temperature in the volcanic area was very high, and the fireworks rolled the leaves into the shape of a container, and soon the container was filled with a transparent liquid.

These are all the mucus secreted by fireworks.

After the evolution, Hanabi's mucus also underwent some changes, from its original viscous form to something more like clear water.

"Master, apply it." Hua Huo handed the leaf to Zhou Lu.

Zhou Lu readily reached his hand in and smeared the liquid on his body.

These juices have excellent fire-proofing and heat-insulating effects, and the areas on your body where they are applied will even feel a little refreshing.

The taste is also a bit sour and sweet, with a hint of grass, a bit like the sweet stalks of sorghum.

After a quick application, the previous hot feeling disappeared instantly.

The juice can only last for about half an hour. After all, Zhou Lu is not like Hua Huo who can secrete this liquid autonomously.

"Okay, let's go over there." Zhou Lu said to Hua Huo, "The Flame Demon should be active near the crater. Spread your branches out to find the enemy first."

With Hanabi's current strength, she doesn't need to be so cautious when facing Flame Demon.

Although Zhou Lu is habitually cautious, he will not be so self-deprecating as to deny the powerful strength of Hua Huo.

The sky in the volcanic area is always gray due to the long-term coverage of volcanic ash.

Fireflies can identify the road well without vision.

But Zhou Lu can't do that unless he turns on empathy.

However, Zhou Lu is not actually used to the feeling of 3D dizziness caused by empathy, so except for battles when he needs to control the branches, Zhou Lu generally will not start empathy in such places.

Fortunately, the passive ability of empathy still allows Zhou Lu to borrow some of Fireworks' perception.

This allowed Zhou Lu to move forward in the gloomy environment, but he couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

The exploration certificate test only allows the beastmaster to bring his own initial spirit pet. Otherwise, if he summons Benben, he won't have to grope forward so carefully.

When Zhou Lu took Hua Huo to the crater, several observers were watching Zhou Lu's movements.

They are the judges of the exploration certificate examination.

Since the B-level exams are all conducted in a secret environment and monitoring equipment cannot be set up, observers are needed to film the candidates' exam process.

The test video of each candidate will be verified by a dedicated person afterwards to avoid cheating.

"Isn't this guy afraid of the Fire Demon at all?" One of the observers was secretly surprised as he watched Zhou Lu rushing forward with full concentration.

As a relatively powerful fire-type spiritual pet, the Flame Demon is definitely a huge test for grass-type spiritual pets.

Therefore, exams involving fire demons are often called examinations of death.

But Zhou Lu doesn't look like he's afraid of the Flame Demon.

This is clearly the feeling of being unable to wait to have a battle with the Flame Demon.

"Have Lao Yu prepared." The head of the observation group sent instructions on the intercom, "This kid is not afraid of death at all. Something will happen sooner or later. Have him be ready to rescue at any time."

Yes, although the exam is safe, it doesn't make sense to take a grass-type pet to look for the Flame Demon.

At this time, what should be done is to first find a favorable terrain nearby to set traps, and then wait for an opportunity to lead the fire demon into the preset trap.

Grass-type pets are the most suitable for setting traps, and this is the most sensible approach when facing attribute restraint.

What nonsense...

The young observer muttered to himself.

I hope I don't get hurt.

With this thought in mind, he continued to move forward behind Zhou Lu.

This volcano is not very high.

After a while, Zhou Lu brought Hua Huo to the crater.

Due to years of activities, a red "lake" composed of magma has formed here.

The magma continued to surge upwards, and when it encountered air it cooled and turned into a gray-black hard shell. It was then swallowed up by the subsequent red magma and melted again by the high temperature.

And among the surging magma, a small and cute fireball is bouncing happily on the surface of the magma.

This is the Fire Demon.

It's just the Flame Demon in its normal standby mode.

"Hanahuo, find a way to lure it out." No matter how confident Zhou Lu was in Huahuo's strength, it was impossible for him to let Huahuo fight a fire-type spirit pet on the high-temperature magma.

Hua Huo quickly carried out Zhou Lu's instructions.

Under Hanabi's command, several flying branches rushed towards the Flame Demon who was having fun.

The little fire demon has very sharp perception.

Although the flying branches have become very small under the influence of [Lilliput Country], it still sensed the existence of these branches at the first time.

Why are there bugs here?
The little flame demon felt somewhat confused.

No matter. Anyway, the master's order is to stay here and play, and then defeat those ignorant guys.

Just as the little Flame Demon was muttering to himself, the branches hovering above its head were freed by Hanabi.

Subsequently, these branches grew rapidly and huge leaves grew out.

What is this doing?
The little fire demon watched as the branches rolled their leaves into the shape of gun barrels.

Hereby——

Clear jets of water spurted out from these leaves.

He sprayed the little flame demon directly in the face.

After spraying, the branches flew quickly upwards.

The little Flame Demon stood there in a daze for a long time, and finally realized that he seemed to be humiliated.

unacceptable!

You actually took water from me!

The little fire demon chased after him angrily.

The flames on its body suddenly rose higher.

As the flames heated the surrounding air, the little fire demon flew up on the hot air.

It soon found the culprit - a plant that looked like a Venus flytrap.

How dare a grass-type spirit pet humiliate me like this!

The little fire demon rushed forward without saying anything. Flame collision!

However, just as it was about to hit the other party, the Venus flytrap suddenly turned into countless vines, like a net bag, tightly wrapping the flying fire demon.

boom!
Accompanied by a wave of heat, the little fire demon crashed into the ground.

Hanabi originally wanted to use the poison vines to poison the little Flame Demon and make him unconscious.

This is what it does best.

However, the Flame Demon is now in standby mode, with only the most core parts of its body being protected.

The temperature in this area was so high that even with the protection of the mucus, the vines of Fireworks were burned off in an instant.

hateful! hateful! hateful!

The Fire Demon realized that he had been tricked and floated up from the ground in anger.

As its power surged, the surrounding rocks rose into the air.

The flames burned the rocks, turning them into magma.

The stones quickly accumulated around the fire demon, forming a small giant nearly ten meters tall in an instant.

A fireball the size of a basketball transformed into a three-story-high magma giant in a short period of time.

I have to say that the Fire Demon is a truly magical species.

Moreover, this is only a third-level fire demon.

When the Fire Demon evolves to the fourth level, its size will increase exponentially.

Legend has it that a quasi-god-level fire demon can instantly swallow a mountain and turn it into his own body.

Roar!
With a roar, Yan Mo also discovered Zhou Lu and Hua Huo not far away.

"Hanabi, is everything okay?"

Thanks to the juice of the fireworks, although Zhou Lu's body surface still felt about 30 degrees Celsius, even though he could see that the surrounding environment had become extremely hot.

Although it was still hot, at least it wasn't that uncomfortable.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you have to bring breathing equipment for activities in volcanic areas, otherwise the heat wave will burn your respiratory tract and lungs through your breathing.

When Zhou Lu briefly looked up the guide before coming here, he had seen people who had to withdraw from the exam due to injuries like this.

All I can say is that the human body is still too fragile.

When Hua Huo heard what her master said, she naturally patted her chest.

The Fire Demon's size has grown, and it is certainly more menacing.

However, as the amount of rock absorbed increased, the temperature of its surface began to drop.

If the Flame Demon had remained the basketball-sized size it was at the beginning, it might have been difficult for Hanabi to deal with it.

But now...

Humph! It’s great that you can grow bigger!
If you grow bigger, I will grow bigger too!
With this thought in mind, Hanabi's body began to grow rapidly under the effect of [Crazy Growth].

When Enma saw Hanabi, who had grown to a size almost the same as his, he was slightly stunned.

It is rare to see such crazy growth in other spiritual beasts.

Although this skill is a basic skill that many grass-type pets will learn, their crazy growth will not cause such a huge change in their body size, right?
Just when Enma was confused, Hanabi had already launched her attack.

Little Grass would not be so foolish as to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Balrog.

Although you may not be unable to defeat it, fighting a ball of magma is clearly asking for trouble.

Rumble…

As the mountain shook, Huo Huo actually dug out a huge rock from the mountainside.

What the hell!

When the observers saw this scene, they were dumbfounded.

what is this!

The next second, Hanabi threw the stone at Enma.

The Flame Demon was also confused when he saw this scene, but he still subconsciously took the stone.

Pushed by the enormous force, the Flame Demon actually took several steps back.

Every step it took backwards created a startling shock.

However, before Enma could stabilize his body, Hanabi had already thrown the second stone.

Where does this guy get so much strength?
The fire demon hastily used his skills, barely slapping the flying stone with his giant magma hand, changing its trajectory.

The rocks fell into the lava.

Its volume was so huge that even the boiling magma could not melt it all at once.

Before the frightened Flame Demon could recover from his shock, Hanabi's third stone flew over.

Due to years of volcanic activity, there are actually not many independent rocks left on this mountain.

The stone melted into magma, although it cooled at room temperature.

In a sense, the entire mountain was formed as a whole after the magma cooled.

Therefore, the stones in Huo Huo's hands were not picked up from anywhere, but were cut from the mountain using its branch root system.

Looking at the stone that Hua Huo raised, Zhou Lu also touched his forehead helplessly.

Although he was confident that Hanabi could defeat Enma, he never expected that Hanabi would fight in such a rough and barbaric way.

But it is also correct.

Many of Hanabi's methods were of little use against the Flame Demon, whose body surface could be burned through by the slime layer.

At this time, it’s time for the most primitive battle.

Sorry, but having power means you can do whatever you want.

As the attributes increase, the size of the body that Fireworks can control also increases explosively.

Now it can perfectly control this ten-story-high form.

As its size grows, the horror of the [Carrying] skill becomes apparent.

It is a hundred times heavier than one's own body weight, which is equivalent to a human lifting an object of nearly ten tons.

This is not only unimaginable for ordinary people, even most behemoths cannot do this.

Hanabi didn't need to really lift an object that was a hundred times her current size and mass. Just a few simple boulders were enough to knock the Flame Demon dizzy.

The Fire Demon has the ability to melt rocks and turn them into his own body.

But no matter how it melts, it takes time.

It is obvious that Hanabi will not give Enma time.

If the master hadn't told her that this Fire Demon was someone else's pet and that she shouldn't kill it, Hua Huo would have probably smashed the Fire Demon to death with a stone.

The owner of the Flame Demon is also a member of the observation team.

He was really terrified when he saw the battle.

Finally, he couldn't help but use the Beast Taming Card to retrieve his pet.

Feeling the fear of the Flame Demon in the Beast Taming Card, he looked at Hanabi who was confused because she had lost her target.

What the hell is this monster?
When Zhou Lu saw the Flame Demon disappear before his eyes, he was briefly confused for a few seconds, and then he immediately realized that the other party's beastmaster had retrieved the spirit pet.

Then he heard a man's voice behind him.

"Congratulations, you passed the test."

His voice was a little hoarse, probably because Hanabi's performance was so shocking.

"Ah...it's passed already?"

After hearing Zhou Lu's words, the other party almost vomited blood.

What else do you want!
Look at what your pet did! In the battle just now, it almost dug out half of the mountain!
