My beast can't be a demon.

Chapter 270 The Sandstorm is Raging

Chapter 270 The Sandstorm is Raging
The next day, when Zhou Lu was preparing materials for the next secret realm exploration, Ye Qingyu knocked on his door.

When she knocked on the door, Hanabi was happily cleaning the room in the maid outfit she had grown.

Seeing the fireworks that opened the door for her, Ye Qingyu was stunned for a moment: "Have you guys played so much?"

Hua Huo greeted Ye Qingyu very happily.

This cute appearance and this very interesting maid outfit made Ye Qingyu's eyes light up: "How come this dress is so long? Can my little Yuan learn to wear it?"

Hanabi tilted her head in confusion: "This shouldn't be difficult..."

"Hehe, I'll teach my Xiao Yuan some other day." Ye Qingyu showed an excited expression.

"Sister Qingyu, aren't you going to deliver the research and development results?" Zhou Lu put down the work in his hands, looked at Ye Qingyu, and asked curiously.

Ye Qingyu smiled and said, "It's too much to produce a finished product today for the requirements sent yesterday. It will also make the front line think that our research and development is very easy, and they will continue to make outrageous demands."

"Uh... can you slack off on something like this?" Zhou Lu complained.

"It can't be said that we are slacking off. We also need time to verify whether Xiaoqing's moss is really effective." Ye Qingyu explained when she saw that Zhou Lu had misunderstood.

"Okay." Zhou Lu just asked casually, "So, what do you want to talk to me about? Is the competition for Qiu Daomu to re-select a beastmaster starting?"

"That won't happen so quickly." Ye Qingyu shook her head, then said, "This time there is a commission, let's see if you are interested in accepting it."

"Commission?"

"It's a commission from the pioneer army." Ye Qingyu introduced, "They need a spirit pet that can withstand large-scale sand and dust to help develop the mine. They sent the request to me and originally wanted to ask me to go, but I thought of you."

Ye Qingyu is the deputy captain of the nursing team. In the official system, the deputy captain of the nursing team is basically the person with real power in the team, and he is indeed very busy with official duties.

At this point, she sighed and said, "Recently, attacks on orphaned pets have become more and more frequent. I need to organize a special task force to investigate this matter."

"Is it a mission in the secret realm?"

"Well, the secret realm has not yet been opened, and the pioneers have encountered difficulties in exploring it." Ye Qingyu said.

After hearing this, Zhou Lu agreed readily.

An unknown secret realm that has not been opened?
Then it should be more interesting to explore than to go to a known secret place.

He was also very curious about what those secret realms that had not been visited by the Beastmasters before were like.

According to existing scientific theories, all the secret places in this world are essentially part of the world.

The secret realm occupied by the immortals is actually only a part of it.

Based on the information left by their ancestors, humans have basically explored all the secret realms where the immortal sects are located.

The remaining secret places are either little known or have never been visited by anyone.

These unknown secret realms, in addition to providing people with a variety of special spiritual beasts that have never been seen before, also produce a large number of special minerals.

Some of these valuable mineral secrets are not even open to the public.

These are what Zhou Lu read in the newspapers. The reports were openly and covertly blaming the authorities and urging them to open up these secret mineral deposits.

This time, the mission Zhou Lu accepted came from a secret desert.

This was the first time that Hua Huo Cao Sheng saw a real desert.

Coming out of the temporary teleportation point, it looked at the rolling yellow sand in front of it with a curious expression.

The yellow sand covered the sky, and the entire sky was dyed with a layer of khaki.

The teleportation point is in the center of the pioneer army’s camp, so when Zhou Lu arrived here, he directly entered the pioneer army’s camp.

The officers here had already known about Zhou Lu's arrival from the logistics department.

He was greeted by a tall handsome man with a handsome dark complexion.

The moment I saw this person, the system task popped up.

After taking a look, Zhou Lu chose to skip it.

The most urgent task for Fireworks now is to accumulate attributes.
As for the system task, he only needed to know that the man in front of him named Linking was on his side.

Lin Kexing didn't know that Zhou Lu already knew his name and background through the system. He smiled and stretched out his hand to Zhou Lu and said, "Hello, I'm Lin Kexing, the deputy commander of this pioneering army."

Zhou Lu replied politely: "Hello."

Then he saw Link Xing looking embarrassed.

Following Link's gaze, he saw Huo Huo curiously using her roots to dig up the sand on the ground.

When she realized that she was being watched by everyone, Hua Huo immediately stood up straight and hid behind Zhou Lu.

"The sand and soil here are quite compacted, so we specially let the plant pets solidify it." Link Xing introduced to Zhou Lu, "But once you leave the camp, the environment outside becomes worse. Even many plant pets cannot adapt to such a dry environment."

As he spoke, Lin Kexing took Zhou Lu to his temporary residence.

"We plan to set off in the afternoon and head to the location where we went deep last time, and then continue to explore forward." Lin Kexing invited Zhou Lu to sit down, and then brought some food and tea. "Supplies are tight on the front line, please forgive me."

"Didn't they say that they had just been resupplied not long ago?" Zhou Lu asked curiously.

Speaking of this, Linkan's expression changed slightly: "Those bastards in the logistics department have also included those mushrooms in our consumption. If we don't tighten our belts, we will have to eat those damn delicious mushrooms later."

The man in front of him seemed to have a lot of opinions about delicious mushrooms. When he mentioned this, he even lost his good manners.

Zhou Lu smiled awkwardly.

Fortunately, when Sister Xiaoqing made the final product, she didn’t let me experiment with it, otherwise I would probably be as broken-down as he was.

"Zhou Lu?" Just at this moment, Xu Dalong walked in.

When he saw Zhou Lu sitting opposite Lin Kexing, he was also surprised.

He immediately understood: "Are you the beastmaster who came here to assist us in logistics?"

When Zhou Lu saw Xu Dalong, he immediately asked, "You are the monitor's brother. Hello! I often hear the monitor mention you."

When Xu Dalong appeared, the system also popped up a task prompt.

Even though Zhou Lu had never seen Xu Dalong before, he recognized him at once.

"You actually know me." Xu Dalong laughed and patted Zhou Lu on the shoulder. "It seems that you also caught the crooked-toothed dog outside. Aren't you from Xin'an College? Why did you go to Xinyue?"

“Exchange and learning.”

Xu Dalong really didn't expect that when he saw Zhou Lu again, this young boy who looked so immature at the beginning had actually become a fourth-level beastmaster of the same level as himself.

This growth rate is a bit too exaggerated.

Looking at the fireworks beside Zhou Lu, there had also been tremendous changes.

The last time I saw him, he was still a tiny grass curled up in a white jade snail shell.

"I thought it would be Ye Qingyu who came." Xu Dalong greeted Zhou Lu.

In fact, when he made the request, he already had in mind the person he wanted to come.

Ye Qingyu's pet, Big Leaf Iris, is also a well-known quasi-divine pet. "Okay, come with us this afternoon. We must find a way to drive away that sand beast." Xu Dalong did not spend too much time talking to each other, and soon brought the topic back to the point.

As he said that, he looked at Hanabi, smiled and said, "It's up to you from now on, little one."

"I'm not a brat," Hanabi retorted automatically.

Then he suddenly realized that this might have embarrassed Zhou Lu, and he immediately wanted to apologize.

"Hahaha, that's right. I forgot that you've grown up." Xu Dalong didn't care about it at all. He laughed and said, "I'll tell you the characteristics of the sand beast I summarized later. Then you will have less work to do."

"Thank you."

Judging from the information at hand, the sand beast encountered by the pioneers is definitely not simple.

A spiritual beast that can influence the environment on a large scale, even if it is favorable terrain, must be at least level four.

Although he believed in Hua Huo's strength, Zhou Lu did not slack off at all. He carefully checked the characteristics of the enemy summarized by Xu Dalong.

No specific entity was found.

It will stir up a sky full of yellow sand.

When necessary, the immortal sand soldiers will be mobilized.

The others are actually fine, the main thing is that this one has no entity...

Is it true that there is no entity, or has the entity not been discovered yet?

These are two completely different concepts.

In any case, after having some idea in his mind, Zhou Lu followed the large army to the forefront of the development.

Just as Link Xing said, the environment suddenly became worse after leaving the camp.

The yellow sand all over the sky almost blocked all vision.

"Sure enough. As soon as we retreated, it took over again." Xu Dalong frowned as he looked at the sandstorm in front of him.

Although he had anticipated this when he ordered the retreat, he still found it a bit tricky when he actually saw the situation.

"Is this the dust I have to deal with?" Zhou Lu also showed an incredible expression after hearing Xu Dalong's words.

He looked at the rolling yellow sand in front of him.

No matter how you look at it, this is specific weather under specific circumstances.

Is it actually a spiritual beast?

"Yes. It was very cautious. It might be because it knew our strength, so it just surrounded us and didn't attack us."

At the beginning of the confrontation, Xu Dalong fought with Shachen.

But that was not the real body of sand and dust, but a huge sand man made of sand by the other party.

It was also because of that battle that Shachen realized the strength of these people. After that, he never launched a frontal attack again. All he did when dealing with the pioneer army was mainly harassment and blocking.

"Is there any way to fix this sand?" Xu Dalong asked.

Although they can still move forward with the help of the Crooked Dog, if this fundamental problem cannot be solved, they will have to worry about sandstorms every time they mine, which will be a disaster for future generations.

"I'll let Hua Huo try." Zhou Lu nodded.

After receiving the order from her master, Hanabi immediately entered combat mode.

I saw it lift up its leaf skirt and its roots flow into the soft sand.

In an instant, the sand and soil within a radius of hundreds of miles solidified and was firmly grasped by the roots of the fireworks.

At the same time, at the nodes of these roots, tall and swollen branches grew out like crazy, and soon formed a small forest.

The leaves of these plants blocked all the surging sand and dust, and soon a layer of sand condensed on the surface of the leaves.

As the ramet shook, all the sand fell to the ground and was instantly fixed by the roots of the ramet.

When Link Xing saw this scene, he was dumbfounded: "Fuck..."

He had seen plant spirit pets and quasi-gods before, but he had never seen this scene.

Can a quasi-god's pet transform a forest into something new with just a thought?
"We can pass through for now." Zhou Lu said to Xu Dalong beside him, "There will be no sand and dust in the woods."

But beyond these trees, the sand is already flying wildly.

However, the wind force of the sandstorm has obviously weakened a bit, it seems that the fireworks still have some effect on solidifying the sand.

"I found its trace." Hua Huo said suddenly, "Although it ran very fast, I sensed it."

Xu Dalong was also ecstatic when he heard this: "Really? Then let's go and find it right away!"

"...Not that easy to find." Hua Huo said as she searched for clues about the other party. "The other party ran away so fast...He ran away decisively as soon as he showed a trace of his presence."

"At least it proves that it has a physical body." Zhou Lu suddenly became excited. "As long as we find the physical body, we can defeat it."

As he spoke, Zhou Lu looked at Hua Huo and asked, "Didn't you leave a parasitic strain on the other party?"

"They ran too fast. They basically escaped as soon as they showed a trace of their presence." Hua Huo thought for a moment and said, "These sands have lost their spirituality. It seems that they have given up on the operation."

Are you so shameless?
Zhou Lu wasn't sure whether the other party would have to pay a price to expand the sand, but at least he knew that the other party was very cautious and even a little timid.

When facing such an enemy, you must strive to kill him with one blow. Any slackness will give the enemy a chance to escape.

According to Xu Dalong, there are very rich mineral deposits under this desert, which can basically meet the energy needs of the real world for the next three hundred years.

If this unknown spirit beast is not captured, given its current hostility towards humans, it will definitely continue to cause trouble for humans during the future mining process.

This is also one of the reasons why Xu Dalong asked the logistics department to find external aid.

Since you have encountered a problem, you have to find a way to solve it.

We can't always trust the wisdom of future generations for every problem, can we?

"Let's continue." Zhou Lu used empathy to check again with the perception of fireworks, and then said, "I want to see how long it can hide."

As soon as Huahuo made a move, the opponent showed the courage to cut off his own arm.

He would rather sacrifice part of his body than fight the beast masters head-on. This move made Zhou Lu more determined to capture the opponent.

A spiritual beast that can control sandstorms over a large area.

If its ability is not weak, Zhou Lu is still quite interested.

After I was promoted to the fourth level, there was still a beast taming slot that had not been contracted.

He also lacks the means to control a large area.

Although Fireworks can do this, it will consume a large number of ramets, which is actually not cost-effective.

As for the contract with the Tao Tree or other mythical beasts, let me first say that this matter has never existed. Even if I really got it, it would be another contract.
