My beast can't be a demon.

Chapter 248: The Fruit of the Seeking Truth Tree on the Corpse

Is it Patriarch Yaoyue?

Zhou Lu was horrified.

Even in the Age of Immortals, he was one of the most powerful immortals.

Didn’t they say that Patriarch Yao Yue had been killed by the Beast Tamer?
Yes...

Zhou Lu quickly calmed down.

He knew very well that if the other party was really the legendary Patriarch Yao Yue, no matter how panicked he was now, he would not be able to change the outcome of death.

Might as well believe the history books for once.

Thinking of this, he bravely walked up to the body.

The other party did not respond at all during the whole process.

Walking straight to the front, Zhou Lu squatted down to check it out, and then said with certainty: "It looks like a corpse..."

Zhou Lu was about to ask Yueya beside him, but found that Yueya had disappeared.

When I turned around, I saw that this guy had fainted on the spot.

No... You are a quasi-god after all, right? You fainted when he just showed his figure. Aren't you too timid?

Zhou Lu gave Hua Huo a look.

Xiao Caocao took out various props from his tail very skillfully.

“Don’t kill me—!!!”

Accompanied by an earth-shattering scream, Crescent Moon jumped up from the ground and then crashed directly into the wall.

If it weren't for the special physique of Little Spirit Cloud, it would probably have fainted.

After a dizzy spell, Yueya realized that Zhou Lu was looking at it speechlessly.

Since Zhou Lu was fine, it meant that the person sitting there was at least not the living Patriarch Yao Yue.

"Fuck, I'm scared to death." Yueya gasped.

Obviously, it hasn't recovered from the shock it just received.

"Is it so scary?" Although Zhou Lu was also scared just now, he was not as scared as Yueya.

"The more you understand, the more terrified you become." Yueya said directly, "Even ordinary divine beasts have no ability to resist such a being, let alone me."

It said this, and no matter how much Zhou Lu begged, he didn't dare to go forward to check the other party's body.

Zhou Lu had no choice but to check it out himself.

The owner of this body is probably really Patriarch Yao Yue.

Zhou Lu could clearly feel the abundant energy in this body.

It is an energy that is still terrifying even after dissipating for more than a thousand years, which is enough to show how powerful this body was when he was alive.

Patriarch Yaoyue looks very young and doesn't look like he has lived for tens of thousands of years.

After checking, Zhou Luchang said thoughtfully: "It's a bit strange... How did he die?"

From beginning to end, Zhou Lu had no idea why the other person died.

Hanabi seemed to sense the danger from this body and kept hiding behind Zhou Lu, looking at the corpse vigilantly.

Although it is also greedy and covets the energy of the immortals, the little grass also knows its own limitations.

Firefly's intuition told it that if it really ate the fertilizer in front of it, it would be bloated to death.

Even if Hua Huo really wanted to eat it, Zhou Lu would stop her.

The current Huo Huo can surely be promoted to the fourth-rank quasi-god, so there is no need to take the risk.

If there is still the remnant soul of Patriarch Yao Yue in this body, I cannot afford the price.

I looked at my surroundings.

I guess this is the deepest part of the Yaoyue ruins.

In a sense, this corpse is the rarest of trophies.

It’s just that Zhou Lu himself didn’t dare to move at all.

But if I leave like this, what if something unexpected happens here in the future, causing Patriarch Yaoyue to return, wouldn’t I become a sinner?
Zhou Lu hesitated slightly.

At this moment, a green sprout suddenly grew on the corpse in front of him.

He has grown grass.

Zhou Lu was stunned and subconsciously looked at Hua Huo beside him.

Among those present, only Hanabi has such ability - and such courage.

But Huahu looked very innocent at this time, shaking her leaves repeatedly to show that she definitely did not do it.

The green buds grew rapidly and a small tree actually grew in a short period of time.

The small tree quickly produced fruit.

Along with a girl's soft moan, a little guy crawled out of the fruit: "Don't blame me, Manman, for being cruel! If you want to blame someone, blame you for seeing things you shouldn't have seen..."

The girl flapped her transparent wings and was about to speak viciously.

However, the next second, green vines entangled the other person's body.

Fireworks swept the opponent around and swung him hard two or three times.

Then Xiaocaocao expressed its conclusion to Zhou Lu very confidently: "General Fairy, Master. It feels exactly the same as Xiaoxi when shaken."

No... Why can you judge the other person's species in this way?
Zhou Lu couldn't complain in his heart.

But he also agreed with Hanabi's judgment.

Because almost at the moment when this little fairy girl appeared, the system prompt sounded.

[Ding! The host is sensing contact with the general fairy Manman, triggering a new task. ]

[Main Quest: Kill the General Fairy Manman]

[Task content: The general fairy Manman, Qiudaomu left the seeds on the body of the ancestor Yaoyue. The moment the other party's body is discovered, it will sprout and grow, and erase the memory of the discoverer. She is a rare female fairy warrior with combat power among the general fairies. Later, as Zhou Lu's exclusive general fairy, she hid almost all of his traces and finally completed the layout of destroying the world. ]

[Task Reward: 3 Beast Tamer Skill Cards of your choice]

My own all-knowing fairy?

When Zhou Lu saw the introduction of this character, he felt excited.

If this is true, then I am the only one in the Beast Taming Era.

You know, no one has ever had the honor of owning an exclusive general fairy before, not even the beastmaster who sought a cooperation contract with Dao Mu.

"Damn it! Damn it! You succeeded in irritating me!"

Hanabi's completely disrespectful behavior probably really angered this supposedly powerful general fairy, and she was very angry.

Manman tried to deal a heavy blow to Hanabi, and she flew towards her with her teeth and claws bared.

Paji.

Hua Huo knocked Man Man unconscious to the ground with a leaf expressionless.

Xiao Caocao probably thought that her master would be angry because she had hurt the general fairy again, and she quickly explained to Zhou Lu: "She was the first to do it!"

Zhou Lu looked at the Beast Tamer Skill Card of his choice awarded by the system, and he didn't know whether he should reprimand Hua Huo.

However, the blow from Fireworks was not too severe.

Manman was unconscious for three minutes before she slowly woke up.

"So you are my mother's friends." She rubbed her head and flew up again unsteadily. "It seems this is a misunderstanding."

Seeing that Manman's attitude improved instantly, Zhou Lu knew that the other party had contacted Qiu Dao Mu.

Originally, the general fairy could directly contact the Tao-seeking tree through the spiritual connection, not to mention that Manman was a general fairy who was performing a special mission. "So, what is going on?" Zhou Lu looked at the body of the Yaoyue Patriarch and asked.

It seemed that Qiu Dao Mu had already given the order, so Man Man did not hide it and said directly: "He is too strong, and there is no way to destroy his body for the time being, so he was placed deep in this prison, and it is also to prevent certain beings from coveting him."

"Some existence?" Zhou Lu muttered to himself.

Manman pointed at Hua Huo and said, "It's a creature that is similar to its original form. Mother said that the creature cooperated with mother's master in order to eat those immortals. Later, it became stronger and stronger, and mother's master discovered the problem and began to take precautions."

Cooperation?

An existence similar to Hanabi's true form?

Combining what Yueya said about the spirit beast that changed its job from Mengyuhua to Jiumingxiancao just like Huahuo, Zhou Lu immediately understood.

It seems that the Beastmaster is cooperating with Meng Yuhua in the Immortal Extermination War.

The beastmasters at that time wanted to eliminate the rule of the immortals, but Meng Yuhua could not find suitable food because she had eaten all the Nine-Life Immortal Grass, so she turned her attention to the strongest group in the world.

The two sides hit it off.

Zhou Lu was guessing in his heart and asked: "So, did your mother say what to do with this body now?"

He is actually a little greedy.

The current Fireworks is definitely not able to withstand such a powerful existence.

But this doesn't mean that Hanabi, a quasi-god, can't do it.

If quasi-gods don’t work, then let’s try true gods.

Fireworks is also the Nine-Life Immortal Herb transformed by Meng Yuhua, there is no reason why it should be inferior to others.

Speaking of this, Manman showed a hint of doubt: "Mother said that you can do whatever you want with this body..."

Qiu Dao Mu has always attached great importance to the body of Patriarch Yao Yue.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have let Manman guard here.

As one of the few general fairies who inherited the fighting power of her mother, Manman, the descendant of the true God, is actually not weak in strength.

What's more, it has special skills that are almost at the rule level.

But now, her mother let the man in front of her deal with something that she had been guarding for thousands of years at will. Manman still found it difficult to accept this.

No, why does this man do that?

As Manman thought about this, she couldn't help but begin to examine Zhou Lu.

"I say, you and your mother don't have any special relationship, do you?"

It hesitated for a long time, and the first sentence it spoke scared Zhou Lu.

No! How can it be a special relationship?

Don't spread rumors!
I'm suing you for defamation!

When Hanabi heard Manman's words, the whole plant quickly stood up straight.

If it were the same as before, it would have grabbed Manman by now, and was shaking it back and forth, asking the other party to tell it in detail.

"Could you be the beastmaster chosen by mother?" Manman continued.

Hanabi's eyes became more alert.

Zhou Lu explained speechlessly.

"Ordinary relationship? But that doesn't make sense!" Manman was puzzled.

But she soon gave up thinking about it, waved her hand at Zhou Lu, and said, "Since mother said you can do whatever you want with me, then do whatever you want with me. This way, my mission will be accomplished."

Is your mission accomplished?
That won't do! Didn't you say you would be my exclusive general knowledge fairy?

Zhou Lu didn't want to miss this good opportunity to get something for free from the general knowledge fairy.

"I can't use it right away." Zhou Lu stared at Manman and said, "I think you should continue to protect it until I use it."

"Ah... continue to protect it?" Manman looked at Patriarch Yaoyue and said, "It's not impossible..."

Manman was still a little hesitant and was thinking about consulting her mother.

Or ask other sisters who see through the nature of human beings for their opinions.

But Zhou Lu didn't intend to give Manman a chance to think, and directly moved out the Qiudao Wood.

Manman has always been afraid of her mother.

After being swayed by Zhou Lu like this, I really was tricked by Zhou Lu into getting on board a pirate ship.

She promised to stay by Zhou Lu's side and help him deal with some things that a common fairy should deal with until Zhou Lu finished dealing with the corpse.

"But I can only provide you with a channel to purchase it." Manman was also frank about this, "You don't need to expect me to match you with a certain skill set. I'm not good at this."

Zhou Lu expressed his full understanding of this.

After fooling Manman, Zhou Lu also began to deal with the corpse in front of him.

Although it always feels strange, individuals who have lost their lives are indeed objects by definition.

Hanabi actually used vines and leaves to tie the opponent up into the shape of a mummy, and then stuffed him into the space of the Yueshan Ding.

After doing all this, Zhou Lu began to count his harvest.

"Speaking of which, why is there a Azure Dragon on this floor?" Zhou Lu suddenly remembered the little Azure Dragon that was killed by him in a round-the-clock battle outside the door, "Isn't it said to be a place where demon cultivators are imprisoned?"

"This dragon is the spiritual pet of Patriarch Yaoyue."

"Hey? Isn't he an immortal?"

"Can immortals have spirit pets?" Manman said, "It's not like only spirit beasts that have signed a beast control contract can be called spirit pets."

This is true.

The definition of a spiritual pet, in a broad sense, is a spiritual beast that is trained by humans to fight for humans.

It’s just that signing a contract would be more secure, and there would be almost no possibility of the spirit pet hurting people.

The little green dragon killed by Zhou Lu was one of the most proud pets of Patriarch Yaoyue.

This also confirmed Zhou Lu's previous guess at the Li family banquet.

Immortals can completely train one or two spiritual pets to follow them and fight for them by their side by cultivating them from a young age.

In this way, to outsiders who are unaware of the inside story, they are beastmasters with spirit pets.

The Li family's contract banquet is not uncommon among these beast taming families. It is unknown how many of them are immortals and how many are pure beast tamers.

During this trip, Zhou Lu did not look for magic weapons or other items in the ruins.

At that time, his mind was full of completing the ruins, and then letting Huahuo complete the growth preparations required for the fourth level evolution during this time.

And now, even if he didn't do any growth calculations, he could see from Fireworks's state that it might evolve soon.

The materials for Fireworks' evolution have also been prepared.

Next, we went to the secret place of flower fields.

The fourth stage evolution of fireworks needs to take place in nutrient-rich soil.

Among all the known secret realms, the soil of the Flower Field Secret Realm is known to be the most fertile.

It is said that in the earliest times, the soil from the Flower Field Secret Realm could be brought out, so this place became a popular check-in spot for many plant-based beastmasters.

Any beastmaster who owns a plant pet will choose to come here to dig up some soil to bring back.

It is now forbidden to bring soil out of the flower field secret realm.

Zhou Lu thought so and started to move up one level at a time.

After becoming a Quasi-God, Hanabi can now let go and do some things.

Zhou Lu had other plans in mind.
