My beast can't be a demon.

Chapter 241 Fireworks Wants to Surpass
Ever since Fireworks evolved and acquired the skill [Fool], Zhou Lu had wondered if Fireworks used Fool to place the system that future enemies originally wanted to prepare for their past selves on themselves.

But do similar capabilities really exist?
Zhou Lu has always been puzzled by this.

However, when Xiao Lingyun said that Qiu Daomu could manipulate his destiny through his own skills, the thoughts that were suppressed in his heart began to grow wildly again.

But now there are still too many unclear clues, like a tangled ball of thread that has not yet found the end.

Whenever he encountered this kind of problem, Zhou Lu would choose to put it aside temporarily, perhaps he could figure out the key while doing other things.

After making a contract with Xiao Lingyun Yueya, Zhou Lu’s trip to the secret realm was actually completed perfectly.

Xiao Lingyun is actually not a mount in the traditional sense.

As a special creature with a variety of changes, it has many unique abilities, and transforming into a big bird and carrying Zhou Lu and his party to fly is only a small part of its abilities.

Xiao Lingyun had already made it clear to Zhou Lu when the contract was signed.

If it is needed to help in a non-life-threatening situation, it will do its best.

But if she really encountered a situation that endangered her life, Yueya did not guarantee that she would continue to stay by Zhou Lu's side.

Zhou Lu can actually understand this.

The instinct of living things is to reproduce, so they have evolved the instinct to escape when they encounter danger. Their first priority is to survive and then pass on their genes.

In fact, even though most of the spiritual beasts in this world are intelligent, only humans and a very small number of spiritual beasts can remain calm and even face up to deadly danger without external interference.

Human spiritual pets do have similar stories, but this is more due to the bond between them and their masters, as well as the influence of human culture.

Before Yueya made a contract with Zhou Lu, it had always been a wild spirit beast.

It has never known what it means to face challenges head-on, and running away when encountering danger is its normal behavior.

Even so, Yueya's joining still brought a huge boost to Zhou Lu's team.

With a quasi-god behind you ready to support you at any time, the sense of security you feel is unparalleled.

Zhou Lu was not in a hurry to leave the secret realm.

Since we are here now, we naturally have to learn the racial skills of the special species here before leaving.

Crescent Moon transformed into a large white bird and carried Zhou Lu and his party on its back to a nearby bird gathering spot.

Unlike the Wind Eagle, even though Yueya was now much larger, those bird beasts seemed not to notice Yueya and continued to fly and forage for food on their own.

This gave Hanabi a good opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

At this moment, the fireworks are full of energy.

Although Xiao Caocao doesn't think that the newly joined Yueya will replace her position in her master's mind.

But he is a quasi-god after all.

If I am not strong enough, I will not be able to maintain my position as the captain of my master's pet team!

Hanabi thought so and used the flying branches to continuously catch the birds in the sky.

It needs to be more diligent, work hard to become stronger, and evolve into a quasi-god as soon as possible, so that it can become the master's first favorite!
Although she was eager to become stronger, Hanabi still acted with discretion.

It is here to brush up its skills, not to really kill these bird beasts.

After capturing and defeating the birds with vines and leaves, Hanabi released them almost immediately.

Although being frightened is inevitable, it will never be life-threatening.

Birds that can become spiritual animals are generally very smart.

Soon the nearby birds realized that Hanabi was only catching them and would release them soon without endangering their lives.

This behavior is even considered a joke by some birds that have just reached adulthood and have not yet lost their playful nature.

When they are caught by fireworks, they will even make a lot of noise for a while.

In just a day or two, Huo Huo became very familiar with the flock of birds here.

During the two days when Huahuo was catching birds and upgrading, Yueya and Zhou Lu were not idle either.

Yueya and Benben were training madly on the edge of the cliff.

Yueya could no longer tolerate Benben's extreme desire to survive. As a good friend of Jiunan Zhulong, she knew some of Jiunan Zhulong's characteristics, so she simply started special training for Benben.

Every day when Benben wakes up from his sleep, the first scene he sees is definitely Yueya throwing him off the cliff.

"How afraid of death are you, kid?" Even though it wasn't the first time she saw such a scene, Yueya couldn't help but complain, "You didn't put all your attributes into defense, did you?"

As it said this, it landed on the clumsy eggshell and shook its head to look at the towering cliff above its head.

Damn, he was thrown down from such a high cliff, but there was no damage on the surface.

Jiu, you really have a wonderful child.

"Look... I'm fine, why don't we just not continue?"

"No! Come again! At worst I can change the mountain!"

"Isn't this the highest peak here?... Shit! Where are you taking me, Aunt Yue?"

Yueya grabbed Benben and flew high into the sky. As she flew, she said to Benben, "Do you know how birds of prey eat turtles?"

Benben suddenly had a very bad idea.

"Hey! Here we come! Little fool~!"

After flying to a certain height, Yueya suddenly released the claws that were holding Benben.

Benben subconsciously wanted to activate his floating ability, but the next second his skill was taken away by Yueya.

boom!
With a loud bang, Benben fell from the sky and hit the ground heavily.

This time, Benben was finally no longer unscathed.

There were tiny cracks on the surface of its eggshell.

But there was no serious injury.

The crescent moon fell from the sky, observing the surface of the stupid shell.

It is not a reckless spirit beast.

Yueya hopes Benben can evolve quickly, but she doesn’t want Benben to die.

So even though Jiunan Zhulong needs to go through hardships before it can evolve in the egg, Yueya did not let Benben face the horror of death right away.

During these two days, it took Benben to travel through all the mountains and rivers in the secret realm, from low to high, just to find the best balance between Benben's injury and growth bit by bit.

However, Benben's hard eggshell did teach Yueya a lesson.

It never thought that Jiunan Zhulong would make its eggshell so hard.

Fortunately, now it finally sees some clues.

While Yueya continued training with Benben, Zhou Lu was not idle either.

As a beastmaster who focused on exploring secret realms, he never stopped his daily physical training.

He didn't want to become Hanabi's weakness.

During this physical training, Zhou Lu was also constantly observing the situation in the Rat Sparrow Valley through the branches left by Fireworks in the valley.

Three immortals from the Shengling Sect disappeared in Shuque Valley. The Shengling Sect should not have completely ignored the investigation.

As long as someone from them comes to investigate, I'll find out the clues.

But in the past few days, there has been no movement in the Shuque Valley.

Could it be that my guess was wrong? Did they not care about the life or death of their companions at all?

But this is not right.

It is true that the members of the Shengling Sect are also immortals.

But they are different from those crazy guys behind Yan Gui who hope that the immortal era will return. They don’t have any special feelings for the immortal era.

The fact that they became immortals was just the result of an experiment.

In fact, because of Qi Lin's will, the Shengling Sect is essentially anti-immortal.

Because of this, although they also mastered the formula for the evolution of immortals, they never spread the way to evolve into immortals. In other words, the number of immortals in the Shengling Sect has been decreasing over the years.

For the Shengling Sect, the number of organizational members is very sensitive.

Could it be that their actions were not announced within the Shengling Sect?

Zhou Lu was thinking while doing training movements.

At this moment, a ripple suddenly appeared in Hanabi's empathy.

Zhou Lu's heart suddenly moved.

This ripple comes from the racial skills of a type of cephalopod beast in the sea.

It can record a kind of breath, and once an individual with a similar breath appears around, it will immediately send a signal to the main body.

This perception is very sharp and 100% accurate.

Soon, Zhou Lu identified the presence of humans from the signals coming from the Ratbird Valley branches.

The other person came alone, looking for something in silence.

"They didn't come here?" the other party murmured to himself, "Or did they encounter some accident?"

"Could it be that the guys from the Immortal Country took action?"

Fairyland?

What kind of organization is this?
It sounds like it has something to do with immortals.

no……

The immortals were supposed to be destroyed, but why do some strange immortal organizations seem to appear every day?

Zhou Lu complained in his mind, but his hands did not listen.

Although visual signals cannot be transmitted, Zhou Lu can still locate the opponent's position in real time by receiving sounds through several branches at the same time.

With this, Zhou Lu allowed the ramet to release the flying ramets that had already existed in its root system.

This time, they did not actively flap their wings because Zhou Lu was not sure whether the other party had the ability to detect such tiny movements.

It is precisely because of this lack of movement that these tiny flying branches, like pollen from plants, search for other plants under the influence of wind pollution.

Zhou Lu made the right bet.

As expected, the other party had no idea about the release method of this branch.

Since these branches have no ability to move actively, Zhou Lu cannot use precise control to make them fall on the opponent.

Fortunately, Zhou Lu prepared enough of them.

There are always a few branches that are blown onto each other by the wind.

After these pollen branches successfully landed on each other and sent a signal, Zhou Lu breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his head.

Next, it depends on where the other party is going.

As Zhou Lu was thinking this, he saw Hua Huo coming back happily.

Looking at Fireworks' skill set on the Beast Tamer Card, it's clear that it had a very good harvest on this trip.

The next day, the immortal from the Shengling Sect left.

He did not notice Zhou Lu's existence.

Zhou Lu was also restrained. Although he wanted to know the other party's identity, in order to ensure that the plan was foolproof, Zhou Lu resisted the urge to check the other party's face and just stood there quietly watching the other party leave.

"Okay, I'll give it back to you." At this moment, Crescent Moon turned into a lark and landed on Zhou Lu's shoulder.

Benben, who was in a terrible state, rolled over to Zhou Lu's side.

"Training completed?"

"There's still one final step left." Yueya glanced at Zhou Lu and said, "But it won't be difficult for you."

Zhou Lu immediately understood that the finishing touch Yueya mentioned was probably to kill Benben.

This was not difficult for Zhou Lu.

One look at the skill of [Doomsday Easter Egg] will definitely kill Benben.

And with the protection of [Recycling], Benben will not be in real trouble.

"If only Jiu had a beastmaster like you back then," Yueya recalled the past with emotion, "it wouldn't have to risk its life by rolling into the lava."

"Speaking of this." Zhou Lu suddenly asked, "Do you really have no clue about the whereabouts of Benben's parents?"

"Even if there is one, you can't find it now." Yueya's voice was very pleasant, "At least you have to be the descendant of Hanabi Quasi-God, right?"

"So you knew that?"

"I probably know. The only ones who can seal that guy are Jiu and his gang." Yueya said, "That kind of seal consumes a lot of energy and needs to be maintained at all times, so Jiu and his gang should still be dormant."

After a pause, Yueya added: "It may be a good thing that you can't find them now. Once they reappear, it means that the sealed existence has escaped their seal."

Zhou Lu nodded, but his expression became more solemn.

But he didn't show any fear.

Taking Benben to find its parents, this is Zhou Lu's mission as a beastmaster to help the pet.

Zhou Lu had no intention of going against his promise.

With the preliminary completion of Benben’s training, it was time for Zhou Lu to leave.

Fireworks has indeed been working hard these past few days, and with the power of the three immortals, it has actually reached the edge of evolution.

But Zhou Lu felt it was very subtle.

I think we should let Fireworks settle for a while so that it will be more certain to evolve.

Coincidentally, Yu Xin formally invited me to join her team to adventure in the secret realm.

Considering the demon cultivator sealed in the so-called Yaoyue Immortal Mansion, Zhou Lu readily agreed.

After all, it is a preparation for evolving into a quasi-god, so Zhou Lu still wants to make Hua Huo more stable before evolving.

This trip to the secret realm can be said to be quite rewarding.

I need to rest for a few days to sort out and digest it.

When Zhou Lu returned to the temporary residence with his spirit pets, Wu Xiaoqing was already prepared.

"You came back a little later than I expected." Wu Xiaoqing glanced at the crescent moon on Zhou Lu's shoulder. "It seems that the process went smoothly?"

"It wasn't that smooth actually." Zhou Lu smiled bitterly, "I can't explain it in one sentence."

"It's okay." Wu Xiaoqing patted Zhou Lu's shoulder, and then a white jade mushroom appeared on the back of her hand.

For some reason, Zhou Lu didn't feel the slightest bit surprised about the mushrooms growing on Wu Xiaoqing's body.

"what is this?"

"White inscription mushroom." Wu Xiaoqing said with a smile, "I left it on you before. If you eat it, I will know everything you have experienced since I planted the spores."

"..." Zhou Lu was speechless.

Wu Xiaoqing seemed to see what Zhou Lu was thinking and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't spy on you without your permission. This is just in case."

When saying this, a hint of emotion flashed in Wu Xiaoqing's eyes.

Zhou Lu immediately understood that she was regretting.

If the spores of the white inscription mushroom had been left on Zhou Minghai's body, she would have known the whole truth about her teacher's death.

And the senior sister kept this mushroom on her body, probably for the purpose of...

"So, can I eat it?" Wu Xiaoqing's voice interrupted Zhou Lu's thoughts.

Zhou Lu smiled and said, "Eat it. I can't explain it clearly, so you can see it with your own eyes. Anyway, I didn't do anything strange."
