My beast can't be a demon.

Chapter 295 Preparation before Evolution
"I'm wrong, I'm wrong! I was wrong, Master!"

Hanabi's plea for mercy echoed throughout the valley.

Zhou Lu withdrew his hand expressionlessly, and Hua Huo collapsed limply beside Zhou Lu.

"Don't say such weird things next time."

Hanabi muttered, "You were the one who wanted to ask..."

Zhou Lu glared at Hua Huo speechlessly, and Xiao Cao Cao then shut his mouth obediently.

At this point, Benben's polishing ritual is considered complete.

Because all of its evolved attributes were focused on defense, the polishing ceremony took much longer than the Dragon Father and Mother had imagined, but it was completed anyway.

Looking at the refreshed Benben in front of him, Zhou Lu suddenly had a strange question.

"If Benben evolves and breaks out of his shell, can his [Easter Egg of Misfortune] still be used?"

This question is obviously asked to Qiudaomu.

Qiu Daomu had seen the tactics that Hua Huo used to kill Tian Buzhi just now, so he naturally knew what Zhou Lu was worried about. He smiled and said, "Once you learn a skill, it will be effective for life. Restrictions on the learning object will only create obstacles during the learning process. It's like when you use the password to open the door, no matter what you do in the room, you will not be restricted."

After Qiu Daomu said this, Zhou Lu felt a little relieved.

There are many skills with instant death effects, but such skills are too powerful, and there are few skills with simple conditions like [Doomsday Egg]. If [Doomsday Egg] cannot be used after Benben breaks out of his shell, then Zhou Lu may be forced to postpone the time for Benben to break out of his shell.

"As expected, human beast masters are amazing." Mother Dragon looked at Zhou Lu and smiled gently, "Even the evolution process of our clan can be accelerated to this extent."

During the throwing process just now, the Dragon Father and Mother also learned about the child’s experiences in his past life.

Although Benben is thousands of years old, it only really started to evolve less than a year ago.

In other words, Benben completed the evolution that other nine difficult candle dragons might not be able to achieve in their entire lives in less than a year. If this was not the credit of the beastmaster, then the dragon mother would have to doubt whether the evolutionary method they had inherited was wrong.

"Benben will be able to evolve after a few more hardships." The Dragon Mother coiled her body and put her head in front of Zhou Lu, "I'll leave the rest to you."

Zhou Lu was a little surprised: "So fast?"

"After polishing, the evolution will be much faster." The Dragon Mother said with a smile, "This is why many eggs will have the idea of ​​looking for their parents when they are at the fourth or fifth stage. This is actually an instinct of our clan."

"Oh, right." The Dragon Mother seemed to have thought of something, looked at Benben and said, "Have you decided on the gender of the baby after it hatches?"

Hearing this, Zhou Lu couldn't hold back and said, "Is there a choice for this thing?"

"Of course, and it is very important." The Dragon Mother said seriously, "It is related to the future reproduction."

Zhou Lu was a little confused: "Reproduction?"

"That's right. After determining the gender, we have to look for other eggs that are about to evolve and hatch." The Dragon Mother said seriously, "When the time comes, we will take good care of them, help them complete their evolution, and then train them to become the opposite sex."

As she spoke, the Dragon Mother pointed at her husband with pride and said, "I raised him from childhood. I have been raising him for two thousand years."

Good man, a child-raising husband, right?
It turns out that you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, can also drive a big car.

Although Zhou Lu didn't quite understand Jiunan Zhulong's peculiar reproduction custom, he expressed his respect.

Compared to this, there are so many strange and bizarre ways of reproduction in nature, including those that determine the success or failure of a single species. Not to mention that from a human perspective, the pollination method of various plants and flowers is simply an indescribable Cthulhu mythology.

Zhou Lu thought so and raised his hand to rub the eggshell.

Benben has not yet hatched from his shell and has no clear understanding of the biological instinct of reproduction, so he can only listen to the Dragon Mother's teachings in a confused manner.

After returning the child to Zhou Lu, the Dragon Mother turned to look at Qiu Dao Mu and said bluntly: "It is about to escape from the seal."

Qiu Daomu was not surprised by this: "I know."

The Dragon Queen said directly: "Let me make it clear first, if things don't go right for us, we will run away immediately."

It is very self-aware.

A perverted monster like Mengyuhuaxian is definitely not something it can deal with.

Fortunately, thanks to the racial skills of the Jiunan Zhulong, they may not have the ability to defeat the Mengyu Huaxian, but they still have the ability to escape.

"Don't worry, the problem will definitely be resolved before then." Qiu Dao Mu looked at Zhou Lu who was still educating Hua Huo not far away.

Just now, Hua Huo was holding Benben and fooling it, saying that the master liked dragon girls and that when the shell hatched, he must choose a female one.

This almost gave Zhou Lu a myocardial infarction.

Damn it, even if you want to say something like this, don’t say it in front of someone’s parents!
What if they want a son and you perform a show of parenthood for them, wouldn't they be furious?

"You should also pay attention to it." Jiunan Zhulong said, "Your current physical condition is very bad."

The Dragon Mother's response was Qiu Dao Mu's long silence.

"You shouldn't try so hard." The Dragon Mother sighed and said, "I have never seen a seeker as short-lived as you."

"This is the master's business. I must do my best to protect it." Qiu Daomu said slowly.

"No, that man never said anything like that." The Dragon Mother interrupted directly, "He clearly wanted to release you back to nature in the beginning."

"Alright, alright, you won't listen anyway." The Dragon Queen said, wagging her tail. "I should go back to guard the post. That guy has never been quiet."

As they said this, the Dragon Mother and Dragon Father said goodbye to Zhou Lu and his party and disappeared into the sky.

Benben couldn't help feeling a little melancholy when he saw his parents leave.

However, it soon transformed this melancholy into a driving force for evolution.

Now it is only one step away from the fifth level, there is absolutely no reason to give up at this time.

Besides Benben, there is also Hanabi who is just one step away from success.

Although in terms of growth accumulation, Huo Huo is still some distance away from the peak of the fourth level.

But judging from the average value of big data, the success rate of evolution at this level of growth is probably about 40% to 50%.

When Zhou Lu was playing the game, a one in a thousand chance of drawing a card was already considered very high. This 40% to 50% success rate was rounded off to 100% for Zhou Lu, so there was no reason not to go for it.

After the group came out of the secret realm, Zhou Lu did not rush to take Hua Huo to prepare for the plan.

He took Qi Lin's belongings and contacted Wu Xiaoqing and Ouyang Xiao.

After their father's death, these two students have been trying their best to find the truth and avenge their teacher in their own ways.

Now, Zhou Lu must of course give them a result.

Wu Xiaoqing and Ouyang Xiao seemed exceptionally calm when they heard the news.

Of course, it is impossible to have no emotions at all.

"I knew you could do it." Wu Xiaoqing said with relief.

Ouyang Xiao seemed a little more excited: "It seems I need to have a drink."

But this sentence soon aroused the dissatisfaction of Ye Qingyu who was standing aside.

Ouyang Xiao is really messing around.

Because the virus was injected into his body, he is currently undergoing quarantine and examination in the nursing team.

In order to ensure that the physical signs are clear and to avoid examination errors due to external factors, Ouyang Xiao must not drink alcohol.

The next day, Zhou Lu came to the college and received his graduation certificate.

From this moment on, he officially graduated. The graduation gift he received was a complete set of materials needed for the fifth-level evolution of Fireworks from the academy.

This was a set outside of the Qiudao Wood collection, which surprised Zhou Lu a little.

"These are all treasures of various beast taming families." Wu Sicheng said bluntly, "I seized them while assisting the pioneering army in carrying out their mission."

When Zhou Lu went to the secret realm to hunt down Tian Buzhi and others, the authorities in the real world also sent out violent agencies to carry out a large-scale purge of the Beast Taming Family and its top leaders.

The wanton behavior of these guys has already touched upon the legitimacy of official rule. If they are not dealt with severely, I am afraid they will be difficult to manage in the future.

Zhou Lu was naturally very grateful for this.

More material means more opportunities to try.

While chatting with Wu Sicheng, Zhou Lu also got a general understanding of the internal situation of those beast-taming families that had cooperated with the Immortal Kingdom.

"It was not until we wiped out these families that betrayed humanity that we discovered the situation was far worse than we imagined." Wu Sicheng said with emotion, "Fortunately, this incident broke out early and these families were exposed before they could accomplish anything. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous."

Unconsciously, the Immortal Kingdom has infiltrated all walks of life. Many of the leading beast taming families in their respective industries have more or less connections with the Immortal Kingdom.

During the interrogation, they attributed everything to the official advocacy of industrial upgrading, which allowed beast taming technology to replace the spirit beast industry on which they depended for survival.

They chose to cooperate with the Immortal Kingdom entirely out of anxiety about the future.

"It's absolute bullshit." Wu Sicheng completely sneered at this.

Relying on the first-mover advantage to occupy a high position, they are trying to block the way for latecomers.

You don't work hard enough and are overtaken by others, but you blame others for working too hard.

What kind of truth is this?

There are many beast taming families that have been eliminated by the beast taming technology, and not all of them choose to join the Immortal Kingdom like these guys.

They changed their family strategy and turned from the real world to the secret realm. In the secret realm that the beast control technology could not reach, there were still a lot of markets waiting for them to develop.

Wu Sicheng complained a few words with emotion.

Zhou Lu sat aside and listened carefully.

Zhou Lu still felt gloating about the fate of these people.

"By the way, have you chosen the place for evolution?" Wu Sicheng also knew that Zhou Lu was planning to directly start the fifth-level evolution.

This is not uncommon among fourth-level beastmasters.

Since the growth value required for the fourth-level peak is too terrifying, many fourth-level beast masters may not be able to make their pets reach that level in their entire lives. For this reason, there are many beast masters who make similar choices as Zhou Lu.

Wu Sicheng once tried to let his pet challenge the low probability of evolving to the fifth level.

The result was undoubtedly a failure.

For this reason, Wu Sicheng became extremely cautious, and more than ten years passed without him trying to evolve again.

"The location is critical to the success rate of evolution."

"It's already been chosen." Zhou Lu said.

Of course, the address he chose couldn't be his own bed.

The place where Zhou Lu envisioned for Huahuo to evolve was in its flower field.

After growing for such a long time, the flower field that Fireworks planted for the first time in the secret realm has been fully formed and has become a beautiful sea of ​​flowers.

This sea of ​​flowers is full of blooming dream rain flowers.

As one of the most widely planted plants in the world, although the dream rain flower is common, it is still particularly beautiful and shocking when it forms a sea of ​​flowers.

All the Dream Rain Flowers in the Fireworks Flower Field are, without exception, divisions of Fireworks.

In such an environment, Fireworks' evolution will definitely be enhanced.

In the next few days, Zhou Lu took Hua Huo around to play, trying his best to keep Hua Huo in a good mood.

Hanabi has always been very cheerful.

Before long, she completely forgot her worries and became her lively and lovely self again.

After a vacation, Zhou Lu teleported to the Veterans Home through Xiao Xi.

Looking at the Veterans' Hospital approaching in a moment, he couldn't help but feel a little impressed at the usefulness of the Qiudao Wood.

With the gradual deployment of universal fairies, the long-distance teleportation method using universal fairies may become a high-end service in the future.

Zhou Lu calmed his mind and found the Tao-seeking Tree.

"I'm here to look for Yougehun." Zhou Lu said straight to the point.

He still had some impression of Yougehun.

The first time I came to the Invalides, the singing beast was this one.

Qiu Daomu also understood Zhou Lu's thoughts instantly.

The singing voice of the ghost soul has a certain enhancing effect.

This attribute naturally includes luck.

But the luck value that the Ghost Song Soul can increase is actually not that much.

Obviously, Zhou Lu did not give up even this tiny boost of luck.

In the face of probability, any little bit of luck is precious.

"I don't have any objection, but it also depends on Yougehun's opinion." Qiu Daomu said.

As the most powerful spiritual pet in the Invalides, Yougehun would not refuse as long as Daomu gave him an order.

But Qiu Daomu would never do such a forced thing.

"That's not a problem at all." Zhou Lu said with a smile, "My Hua Huo and You Ge Hun are good friends."

Qiu Daomu was slightly stunned: "Good friends? When?"

If I remember correctly, Hua Huo has only been to the Invalides a few times. When did these two guys become friends?

Zhou Lu chuckled and said, "Of course it's now."

As he said this, he looked at Hanabi who was standing beside him.

Hua Huo stood straight, obviously waiting for Zhou Lu's instructions.

"Go make friends with Yougehun!"

"Yes!" Hanabi said firmly.

Qiu Daomu sighed and said, "Don't scare me, I have social phobia..."

As soon as it finished speaking, it saw Huahuo put a net bag directly on Yougehun's head.

"F*ck! Is there anyone who makes friends like you?!"
