My beast can't be a demon.

Chapter 260: The sealed demon cultivator, here I come!

The evolution of stupidity is complete.

Zhou Lu's words did change Benben's mind.

Yes, if it didn’t want to become a divine beast, it would not have chosen to be Zhou Lu’s spiritual pet.

The dragon lurks in the abyss, waiting for its chance to strike.

Before, Benben saw no possibility of evolution, so he decisively chose to live forever in the egg.

But now that we can see the threshold, why not try?
The reason why the third level is a threshold for Jiunan Zhulong is that as long as it passes the third level, Jiunan Zhulong will already have some combat power even in the egg.

Perhaps it cannot give Zhou Lu a huge combat power boost like fireworks, but the permanent attribute bonus brought by [Dragon Talisman] will double after the third level.

This also allows Fireworks to gain more permanent attributes through absorption.

Zhou Lu can also enhance his abilities through the feedback from fireworks.

Along with the light of evolution, Benben's figure emerged from the Beast Taming Card.

Evolution has removed all the injuries from its body.

"Very good." Zhou Lu saw that Benben had made his choice and said happily, "You have chosen a very good path!"

Benben floated in the air, and the pattern on the surface of the eggshell condensed into a line of words: "I will try my best! Please ravage me as much as you want!"

Zhou Lu couldn't help laughing when he saw this text.

Although I know what Benben wants to express, just reading this text really makes one think a lot.

"Before that, we have to learn a skill first."

Zhou Lu said this and took out a spirit beast skill card.

This is an A-level skill card, which he exchanged on the black market using the skill card given by the system.

The skill is called [Refresh Egg].

It can instantly refresh the cooldown of a skill.

Although it has a very powerful effect, not many pets have learned this skill.

The main thing is that egg-type spirit pets that can reach the third level are so rare that they can no longer be described as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

There is no other spiritual beast in the world that has such a special evolutionary trajectory as Jiunan Zhulong.

This skill comes from an experimental animal.

Through technological cultivation, humans evolved a bird-like divine beast's egg to the third stage without hatching it.

Their idea is to directly create an egg that can hatch a quasi-god or even a divine beast. This will greatly reduce the training pressure on the beastmaster.

However, such behavior is obviously counterintuitive and unnatural.

This experimental project, which was jokingly called "from elementary school to undergraduate studies" by netizens, was ultimately stuck at the third stage and could not make any progress, making it completely impossible for the bird eggs to complete the fourth stage evolution.

The resources consumed in cultivating the eggs to the third level are beyond the affordability of ordinary people.

Even Brother Fu, faced with such an outrageous price, still decisively chose to directly contract a third-level spirit beast.

But now that the experiments have produced results, it is natural to extract some surplus value.

So the development team tried desperately to make this bird egg awaken all kinds of strange skills.

This [Refresh Egg] is one of these skills.

It is precisely because of the existence of this skill that the bird egg has become the object of competition among many fourth-level and fifth-level beastmasters.

After all, for many powerful skills, their usage is often limited by their cooling time, mainly the skills of the Beastmaster.

Just like Zhou Lu's [Recycling], which has a full seven-day cooldown period, it is absolutely unacceptable to Zhou Lu who is about to go to the high-intensity secret realm to increase his firework combat power.

However, as long as you have the [Refresh Egg], the cooldown time of the [Recycle] skill will suddenly drop to one day - because the cooldown time of the [Refresh Egg] is one day.

After letting Benben learn the skill of [Refresh Egg], Zhou Lu brought his group of pets to the nearest Explorer Association.

His target was the ruins of various immortal palaces.

And the more dangerous the place, the more he likes to go there.

Ordinary spirit beasts can only give Fireworks skills and attributes.

Only immortals can allow fireworks to absorb the attribute of growth.

If Zhou Lu wants Fireworks to reach the standard of evolving into a divine beast as quickly as possible, he must find more immortals.

Although Zhou Lu also had the idea of ​​catching all the Yangui immortals on Phoenix Island in one fell swoop, considering that the Immortal Kingdom and the Shengling Sect had not yet revealed their true colors, Zhou Lu still held back.

His idea was very simple: wait until all the immortal organizations show up and then kill them all.

As a plant, Firefly needs to have a deep understanding and learn about the law of sand.

Thinking this way, Zhou Lu began to head towards various Class B secret realms.

Starting from these secret realms, the relics of the immortal era gradually increased.

Because there are a lot of unknown dangers in these ruins, even though the pioneers have roughly explored them, they still do not recommend non-professional beastmasters to go there to explore.

These ruins often occupy a very small location in a large secret realm, and the pioneers cannot mark the entire secret realm as unexplorable just for this one place.

This has led to many beastmasters taking pride in exploring various immortal relics.

This type of beastmaster is also often the group with the highest mortality rate in the secret realm.

The causes of death of many beastmasters have not even been investigated to this day, and the only explanation is "suspected poisoning."

After Zhou Lu entered a secret realm, he was not in a hurry to explore the ruins there.

He glanced at the electronic atlas in his hand, and then searched for spiritual beasts that lived in groups and had fixed habitats.

After determining the target, he headed straight there with Fireworks.

Since we are here now, it might be a good idea to find some social animals and set up some automatic attribute acquisition equipment.

The attribute bonuses brought by these devices have brought Fireworks' attributes to a very good range.

Originally being a plant spirit beast, and the weakest grass at that, Firefly's attributes were at a lower-middle level among spirit beasts of the same rank.

The attribute bonus of this creature itself is often so great that it makes a huge difference when it reaches the fourth level, which directly leads to many spirit pets being able to only exist as auxiliary spirit pets due to the limitations of their own attributes.

Of course, there are also people like Lily who are actually quite powerful but are willing to be auxiliary spirit pets.

But the fundamental reason why most spirit beasts occupy auxiliary positions is that their own attributes are not enough to support their existence as the main force.

And with the help of these automatic attribute acquisition branches, Huo Huo's current attributes have reached the level of top combat main spirit beasts of the same level.

The most exaggerated thing is that as the light on Huahuo's body continues to flash, his strength is getting stronger.

No one will complain that they are not getting stronger quickly enough.

If there is a chance, Zhou Lu will not give up on arranging as many branches with grabbing properties as possible.

He originally worried that these branches would have some impact on the local biosphere if placed in nature.

But soon, Zhou Lu found that he had completely underestimated the adaptability of organisms.

Things like shipwrecks were rare in ancient oceans.

But this does not prevent marine life from using this place as a habitat.

The vine fishing boats arranged by Hanabi on the sea have now even become a regular check-in place for marine life.

When the spiders catch them, they also eat the parasites on their bodies out of instinct. These creatures even treat these boats as their own bathing places.

As long as there is anything unusual on the surface of the body, they will come over and give you a check.

After arranging some fishing rods by the lake, Zhou Lu turned around and walked towards the ruins with Hua Huo.

With the Crescent Moon, Zhou Lu's desire to explore the secret realm became much greater, because he didn't need to waste most of his time on the journey. With the Crescent Moon's figure cutting through the sky, the group arrived at the location of the ruins in an instant.

This place was originally the location of a small sect.

Long before the war to destroy the immortals, it had been destroyed by other sects.

However, as soon as he arrived here, Zhou Lu felt something was wrong.

The originally sunny secret place became gloomy as soon as I arrived here.

After Yueya landed on the ground, she immediately said, "Be careful, it's the aura of a demon cultivator."

"How's your strength?" Zhou Lu asked hurriedly.

Yueya was unable to make a judgement: "But I guess he is not very strong. After all, this sect was not well-known during the Immortal Era, so it should not have produced any outrageously strong people."

Zhou Lu nodded, then signaled Hua Huo to start moving.

Hanabi quickly released her own ramets.

Under the cover of various stealth skills, the flying branches flew towards the depths of the ruins.

In a short while, the surface of these architectural ruins began to be covered with vegetation.

"Found it." Hua Huo suddenly opened her eyes, "A sealed stone door. The aura outside is released from inside."

"Can you open it?"

Hanabi thought for a moment and said, "I'll try."

It freed itself from the restrictions on its branches and allowed its own branches to parasitize on the stone gate.

This stone gate seems to have some powerful restrictions, and it has an instinctive resistance to foreign invasion.

It's a pity that Huo Huo never listens to reason and directly uses her powerful force to press her branch onto the stone gate.

As the effect of the crab slave parasitism was triggered, the branches of fireworks grew wildly directly on the stone gate.

The stone gate did not see their roots as a threat, so they grew wildly and recklessly, using the stone gate as soil.

In a short while, the stone door, which originally looked very solid and even had powerful restrictions on the surface, was instantly shattered by the branches of fireworks.

As the stone gate broke, the shackles of the seal were also released.

"Hahahaha! Hahaha! Grandpa, I finally see the light of day again!"

"Where's Lu Boyan? Where's that bastard Lu Boyan!"

"I'm going to kill him!!!"

A black mist suddenly flew out from behind the stone gate and formed a human figure in the air, shouting words of revenge.

He instantly spotted Zhou Lu not far away.

The strong appetite given to him by the [Sage] skill made him lick his lips subconsciously: "That's right, I'm hungry too."

"Boy! It's your honor to be in my belly!"

The other party said arrogantly.

Then he raised his hand and wanted to suck Zhou Lu into his hand.

As a result, he suddenly realized that no matter how hard he tried, Zhou Lu just stood there motionless.

Just when he was wondering, the boy released his Beast Taming Card.

Then, the plant branch next to him used a vine to wrap around an egg released from the Beast Taming Card and threw it towards him.

What kind of fucking tactic is this, one that kids use when they're fighting and throwing eggs?

The man sneered in his heart and raised his hand as if to smash the egg.

However, at the moment his attack landed on the egg, his body fell into a strange state of stiffness.

not good!

The man shouted in his heart.

When he looked up, he saw the eye-catching plant spirit beast pointing at him.

The next second, a beam of light from a firework pierced through his body.

Along with the fireworks came the vines that kept climbing up.

As soon as the immortal's body was shattered, insect traps grew out of the vines and caught all the remains of the immortal.

"There should be one more." Zhou Lu said unusually calmly.

As he finished his words, Hanabi's vine titan took shape.

With the explosive punch of the Vine Titan, the entire ruins were dented.

"who are you?!"

A figure fled out of the ruins in a panic.

Zhou Lu just glanced at the other person indifferently, and the vines of fireworks had instantly tied up the other person.

The control skill brought by the poison stun directly caused the opponent to fall into infinite dizziness, and his life was taken away by fireworks bit by bit.

The battle came to an end, and Hanabi took less than five minutes to defeat the two immortals.

This is not because the fireworks are too strong.

This is because the demon cultivator sealed in this relic is only about level three in strength.

Even if the immortal possesses extraordinary powers, it is useless against Hanabi, who is also a bug.

"I heard that the demon cultivators seem to have all kinds of terrifying and strange methods." Zhou Lu stroked his chin and said thoughtfully, "I haven't seen it before."

Hearing Zhou Lu's words, Yueya on the side said speechlessly: "Even if it is a weird method, there must be a chance to use it. In the face of absolute attribute crushing, there is no place for strange skills to be used."

The output of Hanabi was so explosive that even if the opponent wanted to resist, they were powerless.

In the next few days, Zhou Lu explored several more ruins in the secret realms.

Although not all ruins have sealed demon cultivators, there are always a few that are encountered.

Without exception, these demon cultivators were easily taken away by Huo Huo.

But this also made Zhou Lu a little disappointed.

"I thought these sealed demon cultivators would be very powerful."

As a result, the strongest demon cultivator that Huo Huo encountered was only level three, which was totally not good enough.

Yueya said, "Nonsense, if you were strong, you wouldn't be caught. Under the skills of the immortal, being able to not be eaten but sealed is actually considered to be quite powerful."

"The truly powerful ones are often concentrated in the Great Immortal Sect."

The Great Immortal Sect?

Zhou Lu thought.

Most of the remains of these sects are in Class A secret realms.

Well, it seems like it’s time to take the A-level exploration certificate exam.

For Hanabi now, such an exam should not be a problem.

After Zhou Lu determined his target, he decisively stopped exploring the secret ruins temporarily.

He was indeed very curious about what the atmosphere in the A-level secret realm was like.

Will there be more interesting spiritual beasts waiting for me?
