My beast can't be a demon.

Chapter 267: I got up and killed him in one shot. What else is there to say?

A2511.

This is the secret place that Zhou Lu carefully selected.

Starting from the A-level secret realm, due to the entry threshold, only a small number of capable beastmasters have the opportunity to enter, so most of the secret realms have lost the opportunity to be given a nickname.

Some secret realms have not been fully explored by many Beast Tamers even from the time they were opened to the present day, and only the pioneering army had visited every corner of the secret realm when they were conducting danger ratings.

However, the situation in the secret realm is not static. Once you have determined a safe place, you cannot guarantee that it will remain safe in the future.

Therefore, there are a lot of risks in exploring these areas that have not been verified by a large number of beastmasters.

However, risks always come with opportunities.

Few people have been here, which means that many things here have not been taken away.

Zhou Lu brought his spirit pets to this secret place.

According to the known information released by the Pioneer Army, this secret place belongs to the mountain gate location of Qingyun Sect, one of the twelve immortal sects of the Immortal Alliance.

Qingyun Sect is a standard famous sect, known as the foundation of the righteous path.

However, Zhou Lu knew the immortal's virtue very well, so he didn't believe such bullshit at all.

Benben floated in the air, acting as an obvious bait, luring the attacks of the surrounding spirit beasts.

As long as those hiding spirit beasts cannot resist the temptation, they will be easily captured by the fireworks waiting for them.

"It's worthy of being an A-level secret realm." Zhou Lu looked at the harvest behind Hua Huo and said with admiration, "Even the dogs on the roadside are second-level."

Yueya couldn't help but complain when she heard Zhou Lu's words: "Don't say such hurtful things. I'm a wrong-toothed dog."

It’s a rare opportunity to come to an A-level secret realm, so Zhou Lu naturally wants to get something.

So before coming, he went to Xin Yue College to take on a mission.

There are actually very few tasks in A-level secret realms.

Beastmasters who have the ability to explore A-level secret realms generally have no shortage of these things as mission rewards. They explore secret realms more to find materials needed for the evolution of their pets.

This mission comes from the pioneer army.

They need someone to help them capture a batch of mis-toothed dogs for use as military dogs.

Generally speaking, military dogs need to be trained and cultivated from a young age, but the situation of the malocclusion dog is a little different.

They are very intelligent and very loyal.

As long as the beast taming contract is signed, they will be the master's most loyal companions.

The Crooked-Tooth Dog is a specialty of this secret realm and is said to be the descendant of the guardian beast of the Qingyun Sect.

Hanabi wrapped the captured Crooked Dog with vines and threw it behind her.

Subsequent pioneers will collect the cages along their routes.

Zhou Lu doesn't have time to run to the Pioneer Army to deliver the goods now.

He was also unsure of the pioneer army's attitude toward him.

Although investigating the pioneer army's camp was his job as a disaster investigator, and there were indeed problems with the pioneer army in New South Wales, Zhou Lu's behavior was still suspected of disrespecting the pioneer army.

Climb up the stairs all the way.

Although thousands of years have passed, various traces left by humans still remain here.

Zhou Lu did not let Yueya take the group to the mountain gate.

It's a rare opportunity to come to a big sect, so naturally I have to experience it for myself.

When he reached the halfway point of the mountain, Zhou Lu saw the collapsed palace.

The palace was cut in half by a powerful force, and the three words "Book Collection Pavilion" were clearly visible.

He actually built the library halfway up the mountain.

It seems that the battle that took place in Qingyun Sect that year was definitely extremely tragic.

It’s a pity that time and nature have erased most of the traces.

When Zhou Lu arrived at the top of the mountain, there were not even many ruins left, and all kinds of plants were everywhere.

Because of the abundant spiritual energy in the secret realm, many of the plants here have become spiritual beasts.

If an ordinary beastmaster came here, even if he didn't find the legendary immortal, he would probably be harassed by these plant spirit beasts.

However, Zhou Lu, who was with Fireworks, didn't need to worry about this problem at all.

Hanabi still perfectly proves its setting as a plant succubus.

In a short while, it had established good relationships with all the plants here.

"They said that there is a very strange place over there. Strange noises are emitted every once in a while. Any spirit beast that has been there has never returned." Hua Huo said, pointing to a location at the mountain gate.

Zhou Lu immediately became interested: "Oh? Then let's go and take a look."

As he said that, Zhou Lu carried Benben in his arms and walked towards the direction that Hua Huo pointed.

In fact, there was no need for Hua Huo to point the way, Zhou Lu noticed the attic at a glance.

Unlike other places that were covered with plants, there was no trace of plants attached to this attic.

It is like a person who is out of place, standing in this lonely place for more than a thousand years.

When he was about a hundred or two hundred meters away from the attic, Zhou Lu stopped.

A stone tablet blocked his way.

[Lu Shan has sealed the evil-hearted Taoist here, please stop and leave immediately.]

Lu Shan...

Zhou Lu didn't expect that he would see the monument erected by Lu Shan himself here.

He immediately knew who was in the attic.

Is it true that even Boss Lu Shan can only seal it?
I wonder if the guys in there are very strong.

"Not strong at all." Just as Zhou Lu was hesitating, Manman, who had been sitting on Zhou Lu's shoulder like a puppet, suddenly spoke.

"Ah?" Zhou Lu was stunned, and then realized that Manman was talking about this evil-hearted Taoist, "Then why did you just seal him, instead of killing him?"

"Because my mother's master was already exhausted." Manman glanced around and said, "Do you think it's so easy to destroy Qingyun Sect? But my mother and the others no longer have the extra strength to kill this evil Taoist."

"I wanted to come and deal with it later, but I forgot about it because of a series of things."

"Then the Qiudao Wood didn't come over to deal with it later? Did it forget about it?"

"Mother actually thought about dealing with it. But fate gave her instructions, saying that keeping this guy would be good for the future."

"Benefits? What benefits can there be?"

Zhou Lu was speaking when he heard a system notification sound.

[Ding! It is detected that the host has contacted the 'Evil-Hearted Taoist', and the relevant tasks are initiated. 】

[Task content: Kill or rescue the evil-minded Taoist in advance]

[Task Introduction: During the period of being sealed, the Taoist Master of Misfortune accumulated a lot of growth by seducing and hunting spirit pets. However, his thousand years of accumulation eventually made Zhou Lu. Killing him can greatly slow down the growth of the End Rose. Of course, you can also choose to rescue him and cooperate with him. ]

[Task Reward: 1 Spirit Beast Skill Card of Your Choice (Grade A)]

The system task appeared almost simultaneously with Manman's words, and the sudden information made Zhou Lu stunned for a moment.

He looked at Manman with a little surprise.

Just as the general fairy finished saying that keeping the evil-hearted Taoist alive might be good for the future, the system task popped up and told him by name that the evil-hearted Taoist had a lot of growth.

Could this be the fate that Qiu Dao Mu saw?

Zhou Lu thought about this and asked, "So, you mean not strong, compared with us?"

This question was asked to Manman. She looked at Zhou Lu seriously and then fell into thought. Well, there was no need for Manman to answer, Zhou Lu knew the general idea.

But he still stepped over the stone tablet resolutely.

You are a sinister person, right?

I want to see what strength it has.

Of course, although Zhou Lu is very confident in Hua Huo's strength, he still needs to make sufficient preparations.

He asked Hanabi to quickly spread out her branches, trying to cover the attic as much as possible within Hanabi's fire range.

Looking at the Mengyu flowers all over the ground, Zhou Lu seemed to smell the scent of abundant fire.

Sure enough, all the fear came from insufficient firepower.

With this thought in mind, Zhou Lu stood directly in front of the attic.

"Human? Hehe, I haven't seen you in a long time."

As soon as he appeared, an experienced voice came from the attic.

"I wonder what year it is tonight?"

Zhou Lu narrowed his eyes, pretending to be unaware of the old Taoist's identity, and asked, "Who are you?"

"Oh." The evil-hearted Taoist said casually, "I am the mountain god of this high mountain. I was sealed here because I was tricked by someone. If you rescue me, I will definitely thank you."

"Thank you?"

"I don't know if you are interested in the method of cultivating immortals." The Taoist said very patiently.

But at this time, Zhou Lu could already clearly hear the trembling in his voice.

The taste of his fellow countrymen was indeed an irresistible temptation for an immortal like him who had been separated from human society for more than a thousand years.

Even though the evil-hearted Taoist had tried his best to suppress his desires, he still relaxed for a moment.

Zhou Lu just found it funny in his heart, but still pretended to be bewitched and began to ask Taoist Huoxin for a way to unlock the seal.

The seal left by the Qiudao Wood is not so easy to break.

The evil-minded Taoist didn't think he could leave now.

His idea was very simple, which was to eat the man in front of him.

"Come here... yes... come closer." He encouraged Zhou Lu seductively.

Zhou Lu came over.

The Taoist with evil heart was overjoyed. Just as he was about to grab Zhou Lu and drag him into the attic, a firework went straight through Zhou Lu's body and then went straight through the attic.

Because he was completely unprepared, the soul of the evil-hearted Taoist was directly hit by the fireworks, and he let out a shrill scream.

However, Zhou Lu, who was also pierced, looked completely different.

He felt great.

This attack was carried out by Hua Huo at the instruction of Zhou Lu himself.

He was just worried that the cunning and treacherous Taoist would become suspicious of him, and thus become alert and avoid Hua Huo's sneak attack, so he decisively let Hua Huo add himself to the target of attack.

Of course, Zhou Lu wouldn’t dare to do this if he had no one to rely on.

He glanced at the two Beastmaster Skill Cards in his hand and smiled.

[Turn off friendly fire!] Beastmaster skill. When you are damaged by teammates, this damage is converted into health recovery.

With this skill card, Zhou Lu doesn't have to worry about being killed instantly by Huo Hua Huo.

The other Beastmaster skill card is used to amplify Fireworks' damage.

[Fire at Me]: Beastmaster Skill Card. When your pet attacks you, the damage is increased by 150%, and 90% of the damage is dealt to the surrounding area as splash damage.

This [Fire at Me] card is actually a kill card used in desperate situations. It is a means for the Beastmaster and the opponent to die together.

However, once combined with [Turn off friendly fire! ], it immediately becomes a top-level auxiliary skill card.

The original bonus of Hua Huo's fireworks was very high, and with the damage increase of [Fire at Me], the damage caused to the evil Taoist reached a terrifying level.

Not to mention the evil-minded Taoist priest, the splash damage from the fireworks almost cut off the entire hill.

With this shot, the small attic where the evil Taoist was sealed was directly blown to pieces.

However, the evil Taoist is not dead yet.

His remaining soul roared in the ruins.

"Who are you? Who are you?"

"Impossible! Impossible! Not even Lu Shan can kill me!"

"What kind of damage is this?!"

He yelled in frustration.

Zhou Lu didn't dare to underestimate the other party.

What if this situation was deliberately performed by someone so that they could launch a sneak attack?

Zhou Lu decided to go all out and raised his hand to let Hua Huo continue attacking.

Since the firecracker was still cooling down, the fireworks directly summoned a large number of vines to wrap up the remaining soul of the evil Taoist.

If it were a normal situation, the evil-hearted Taoist would naturally not be afraid of these vines.

Unfortunately, he was crippled by Hanabi's sneak attack.

Along with the roar of the evil Taoist, the vines slowly tightened.

Zhou Lu watched this scene nervously until a golden light appeared on Hua Huo's body.

The appearance of golden light means that Huo Huo has absorbed the other party's growth.

Looking at everything happening in front of her, Manman looked at Zhou Lu with some surprise.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I thought you were going to have a tough battle." Manman murmured.

"Why should I take risks when I can kill him instantly?" Zhou Lu said as a matter of course.

This is the courage given to him by [Fire at me] + [Turn off friendly fire!] + [Flower Field Fairy].

Praise the system!

Zhou Lu now sincerely praises the existence of the system in his heart.

If it weren't for it, Zhou Lu wouldn't be able to put together the two Beast Tamer skills, and naturally he wouldn't be able to do what he did just now, blasting the evil-hearted Taoist into pieces with one shot.

The evil-hearted old Taoist is different from the modern fourth-level immortal he met in the Dongfang family before.

As an immortal from the Immortal Age, and an immortal who has lived for a very long time, even if he has not found the opportunity to become a fifth-level immortal, his strength is not something that ordinary spirit pets can challenge.

It’s a pity that he met Zhou Lu and Hua Huo.

"Even the Pear Blossom Fairy back then was like this." Manman recalled and then gave his evaluation.

Of course, if we really compare them, the damage caused by the Pear Blossom Fairy with the fifth-level [Flower Field Fairy] is real damage, which is much stronger than the fireworks.

However, since the attributes of the flower demon are relatively weak, even if the fifth-level skill bonus directly gives double attributes, it is almost the same as the current fireworks.

"Are the properties of fireworks already so high?" Zhou Lu was a little surprised.

"I should be the one who is surprised," Manman said speechlessly, "What on earth did you do? Why are its properties still rising?"

"Hey, do you want to know more about fully automatic fishing boats?" Zhou Lu smiled, and then took advantage of Manman's daze to ask abruptly:

"I wonder how the current Fireworks compares to that Dream Rain Flower?"
