My beast can't be a demon.

Chapter 255: Fully Automated Vine Fishing Boat on the Ocean
After the battle in the camp, Zhou Lu was no longer in a hurry to cause trouble for the Yangui spies everywhere.

Although there is a lot of information about Yangui in Lin Keqi's memory, most of the members of Yangui have little to do with immortals.

Things were a little quieter here in Zhou Lu, but the entire Xinzhou was in chaos.

The completely destroyed camp and the terrifying huge footprints are all proof of the great war that took place here.

Then, evidence that the camp leader and even all members of the camp were undercover agents of the Yangui organization was published on the Internet.

In an instant, the whole world was in uproar.

In this situation, even if the New South Wales government wanted to continue to suppress the matter, there was nothing it could do.

New South Wales had no choice but to accept official intervention.

Ye Qingyu and his team moved directly into Xinzhou.

This time, she brought Death Nightmare with her in order to identify how many members of Yangui were still inside Xinzhou.

Zhou Lu originally thought that this kind of thing would take a long time to screen out.

As a result, Ye Qingyu had already produced the report the next day.

It turned out that just last night, the nightmare of death directly expanded its territory, shrouding the entire New South Wales in its dream.

In the nightmare realm, all people who have fallen asleep will be searched by keywords by Xiao E.

"In other words, Xiao E also entered my dream last night?" Zhou Lu said in surprise while eating breakfast and looking at Ye Qingyu opposite him.

Ye Qingyu said: "It's not that exaggerated. Xiao'e is old now and doesn't have the energy to enter the dreams of each person one by one, so I just set the keywords of Yan Gui and Xianren, and then searched in batches."

"That's a bit scary..." Zhou Lu couldn't help but sigh, "Is this the power of a True God-level spirit beast?"

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as the Death Nightmare comes into being, all the people in New South Wales will die in their dreams without realizing it.

Even a divine beast is like this.

Then what kind of terrifying existence was the Mahayana immortal who suppressed the divine beast back then?

Zhou Lu's understanding of immortals deepened a bit.

"However, it's fine if we don't screen. Once we do, it will be a big problem." Ye Qingyu mentioned this and sighed, "No wonder Xiao E is less and less willing to take action."

"what happened?"

"If we talk to the geese about returning, most of them can be arrested directly."

"But Xiao'e discovered during this search that many people in New South Wales have information about immortals in their dreams."

Zhou Lu was stunned.

I was trying so hard to find the immortal, but the nightmare of death screened them all out as soon as I had a dream?
"I know what you're thinking." Ye Qingyu seemed to have seen through Zhou Lu's thoughts and said, "It's actually not that simple. I've already said it's a keyword filter. If someone just reads a novel about cultivating immortals during the day and then dreams about cultivating immortals at night, it will also be retrieved by Xiao'e."

“Then this workload…”

Ye Qingyu sighed and said, "Anyway, you should go to the secret realm first. Xiao'e will screen it every night these few days. After removing the duplicates, the information obtained will be more accurate."

She could only sigh. The current nightmare of death was not as severe as it was a thousand years ago. Otherwise, such a thing could be done in just one night.

However, even the current Xiao'e is not someone that an ordinary divine beast can mess with.

After Zhou Lu finished his breakfast, he said goodbye to Ye Qingyue.

It does take him some time to quickly stack up Hanabi's attributes.

His original idea was actually to capture a few immortals in New South Wales.

Although the [Absorb] skill cannot remove all of the opponent's growth and attributes like the [Sage] racial skill, those sages often have high attributes and can often provide very high bonuses to Fireworks.

It can be said that most of Hua Huo’s current achievements are dependent on those immortals.

If she had not absorbed the attributes and growth of several immortals at the third level, Huo Huo would probably have been stuck at the third level for a long time before she could evolve to the fourth level.

However, after the battle in the camp, Zhou Lu let go of his arrogance.

Hua Huo is very powerful. Not only can she not be at a disadvantage when facing a fourth-level immortal, she can even kill him instantly.

But once these people form a group, just like the previous sneak attack on Zhou Lu, it will be very dangerous.

Zhou Lu still has some lingering fears about the feeling of being almost pierced by the flying knife.

But it doesn’t matter, the fireworks have now passed the early stage of accumulation and development.

After evolving to the fourth stage, it fully demonstrated the powerful late-stage abilities unique to plant spirit pets.

It’s time to start snowballing.

Zhou Lu found a nearby explorer association, paid a fee, and then entered the secret island.

After arriving here, Zhou Lu was not in a hurry to take Hua Huo out to sea - accumulating attributes that way would be too slow.

Under Zhou Lu's guidance, Hua Huo quickly wove dozens of vine boats with vines.

Thanks to the autonomy of the ramets, these vessels can operate unmanned on the ocean.

During this process, the vines on the fishing nets towed by these boats will continuously help Huahuo absorb the properties of the fish.

As for the power source of these ships, we have to mention the omnipotent photosynthesis.

Fireflies have specialized their own branches' ability to photosynthesize.

To this end, it has degraded almost all unnecessary functions of the branches that serve as structural materials, retaining only the ability to extract energy from sunlight.

At the same time, the caught fish can also be fed through the insect traps on the boat to replenish the energy and nutrition necessary for the movement of the species.

Hua Huo only made a total of 52 such fully automatic fishing boats. After all of them were thrown into the sea, Zhou Lu immediately took Hua Huo away from the secret island.

Among the secret realms of this world, there are many that also have the ocean as the main background theme.

Zhou Lu plans to follow suit and deploy similar fully automatic fishing boats in these secret ocean realms.

In this way, just like those branches placed next to the swamp that automatically catch insects, even if Fireworks does not activate Double Luck and the stupid [Doom Egg], it can still grab a lot of attributes by capturing a large number of prey.

Zhou Lu spent several days visiting all ocean-related secret realms below level B, leaving behind a large number of automatic vine ships.

Thanks to Fireworks's transformation into a fourth-level quasi-god, the upper limit of the branches she could control increased greatly. Otherwise, after this wave, the branches around Fireworks herself would not be enough.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if it’s not enough.

Because of the need to process all kinds of information recorded by the leaf phonograph every day, Huo Huo has actually developed some special branches specifically for calculations.

Zhou Lu has recently been helping Hua Huo with some programming-related knowledge.

His idea was very simple. The upper limit of the number of branches that could be controlled was based on the main body. So as long as the control of these branches was abandoned and they were allowed to run automatically according to the program, attributes could be continuously provided to Fireworks without occupying the number of branches that Fireworks could control.

Hanabi also knew that if she learned this, it would be of great benefit to her growth.

From now on, it will no longer need to go out and work hard, it can quickly improve its attributes by doing housework at home.

Here we have to talk about the point that [Absorption] is stronger than [Immortal].

If [Immortal] wants to get attribute bonus, he must eat the target object.

The requirement of [Absorb] is only to defeat. Defeating does not mean killing.

In other words, theoretically, there is an upper limit to the attribute bonus of the Immortal. When all the creatures in the world are eaten, the Immortal will have no new source of attributes.

Although the attribute bonus of [Absorb] is low, its requirement is only to defeat.

That is, catch and release, release and catch. As long as the cooling time of the absorption is over, Fireworks can absorb attributes from the opponent again.

Theoretically, the bonus of [Absorption] can be infinite.

Of course, considering that the efficiency of the two is completely unequal, I am afraid that until Huo Huo is a thousand years old, it is not certain that [Absorption] will surpass [Immortal] in attribute bonus.

But even though Hua Huo knew it, she just couldn't learn it.

"Human knowledge is so complicated." Huahuo lay listlessly on the table, her whole body wilted.

Benben stood next to Huahuo and looked at her distressed expression.

Hey! I'm just a mascot!
Benben thought with glee.

"By the way, Benny." Hanabi raised her leaf and patted Benny, "You should be evolving soon, right?"

Perhaps because the immortal's slap stimulated the potential in his body, Benben, who was trained in Zhou Lu's Beast Taming Card, is now on the verge of evolution.

"Just one more bump and it'll break." Benben calculated in his mind.

Once evolved to the third level, given Benben's habit of full-point defense for thousands of years, it would be basically impossible for that fourth-level immortal to smash Benben with one blow.

"Your evolution speed is also terrifying." Hanabi yawned.

"I say... you don't even have a mouth, why do you still use yawning to express your tiredness?" When Benben saw Hanabi's look, he couldn't help but complain.

After hearing what Benben said, Huahuo was silent for a while, and then asked seriously: "Should I scratch my feet? It seems that the feeding part of plants is the roots."

Benben: "Then you should just pretend to yawn."

"Hehe." Hanabi chuckled, "Besides, you're an egg without a mouth, so why are you complaining?"

"Come to think of it, why are there constant flashes on your body?" Benben finally couldn't resist his curiosity and asked.

Hanabi looked at herself subconsciously.

Its body was indeed flashing constantly, just as Benben said.

This is not actually because there is something wrong with Firefly's condition, but because the [Absorb] skill is constantly bringing new attributes to Firefly.

As a sign of absorbing the attribute, Hanabi's body will flicker.

The genetic instincts of this creature cannot be completely concealed even by [Plant Mimicry].

While Hua Huo and Ben Ben were arguing with each other, Zhou Lu was outside contacting Ye Qingyu.

While he was arranging the automatic fishing boat for Hua Huo, Ye Qingyu was also carrying out the screening work in Xinzhou in full swing.

As the screening progressed, the terrifying situation in Xinzhou made Ye Qingyu, who had already expected it, gasp.

This is no exaggeration.

Ye Qingyu's itinerary was originally very secretive.

As a result, on the day Zhou Lu went to the secret realm, she was attacked by an unknown beastmaster.

Fortunately, Ye Qingyu's strength is not weak, and her two quasi-divine pets are enough to allow her to protect herself from most beastmasters.

Ye Qingyu defeated the opponent easily.

However, when trying to capture him, he committed suicide.

After that, Ye Qingyu encountered endless assassination attempts.

All this happened when she used the power of the Seeking Truth Wood to conceal her own aura, while also trying her best to hide her itinerary.

Ye Qingyu didn’t think Yangui had this ability.

Even though Yangui's infiltration into New South Wales is very serious.

"You mean, are there any beast taming families in Xinzhou who have defected to Yangui?" After hearing Ye Qingyu's analysis, Zhou Lu fell into deep thought.

"To be precise, they didn't defect to Yan Gui, but to the group of immortals behind Yan Gui." Ye Qingyu said, "And the beast taming family that defected is not a small character. It should be one of the top beast taming families in Xinzhou."

"Why not all?" Zhou Lu asked suddenly.

Ye Qingyu was stunned: "You seem a little extreme."

Zhou Lu immediately thought of the Xin Yue Li family: "I don't think so. We should always be prepared for the worst."

His words made Ye Qingyu fall into deep thought.

Yes, given the current state of Xinzhou, it would be impossible to say that all those beast-taming families are white lotuses.

"Are you planning to visit Yangui's headquarters next?" Ye Qingyu asked.

Zhou Lu had mentioned to her the information about the location of Yangui’s headquarters.

But Ye Qingyu did not take any action.

She knew that she had become the center of everyone's attention.

Your every move is monitored.

If I act on my own and reveal my intention to attack the Yangui headquarters, the other party will definitely move away in advance.

By then, it would be extremely difficult to find Yangui’s headquarters.

It would be better to let Zhou Lu investigate privately.

"Come to think of it." Ye Qingyu seemed to have thought of something, "Your fireworks are all quasi-divine, which means you have another empty slot for your Beast Tamer Card, right?"

Zhou Lu nodded subconsciously.

"Any plans?" Ye Qingyu asked.

This question stumped Zhou Lu.

Because Huo Huo is so versatile, Zhou Lu almost has no need for other pets.

Because of its special nature, Benben can also be used as a fireworks pendant.

Even more, as Hua Huo acquired the skill of [Flower Field Fairy], it also gained the ability to fly, and naturally could take Zhou Lu with it to fly.

It can be said that if Yueya had come later, Zhou Lu might not have needed a flying mount.

Zhou Lu said frankly: "I don't have any good ideas yet."

"Have you considered contracting a divine beast?" Ye Qingyu asked immediately.

"Contract...divine beast?" Zhou Lu was stunned, then asked.

Ye Qingyu fiddled with the coffee in her hand:
"King Yuan has not been in good health recently, and he wants to find a successor to accept the cooperation contract with Qiu Dao Mu."
