My beast can't be a demon.

Chapter 301 A Super Disaster Occurred in Ancient Times
Qingteng Jiao finally understood what it meant to have one's heart broken by being beaten.

It knew that it was not a powerful mythical beast, but it never thought that the gap between itself and other mythical beasts could be so huge.

However, all the depression disappeared when Huahuo gave it a little red flower.

At the level of a divine beast, the flowers sent by Hua Huo are no longer just ordinary gifts. In a sense, this is also a proof of Hua Huo.

This flower is in a sense a non-triggered ramet.

If Qingteng Jiao encounters any trouble in the future and needs Huohua's help, he can convey his needs to Huohua by activating the flowers.

Qingteng Jiao, who had witnessed Hua Huo's strength, knew very well that as long as it was a physical object, there was very little in this world that Hua Huo could not solve.

Even if you can’t solve the problem, it’s perfectly fine to go directly to the root of the problem.

Qingteng Jiao accepted Huahuo's gift with great joy.

Qiu Daomu looked at the Qingteng Jiao who left happily, then looked at Hua Huo who was scratching her head in confusion, and said with a smile: "It seems that you still don't know what the meaning of the flower of the mythical beast is?"

Hanabi looked at Qiudōki in confusion, "Does this have any meaning? Isn't it just a simple way of expressing gratitude?"

So Qiu Dao Mu explained it.

"I see... But you have helped me a lot." Hanabi said with a smile, "There is nothing wrong with giving me a gift."

After saying that, Hanabi paused for a moment and looked at Qiu Dao Mu very seriously: "Is there really no problem with that hollow?"

Zhou Lu had not fully activated his empathy at that time, so his perception was not profound.

However, Hua Huo truly felt the entire process of the hole disappearing.

In fact, it was not erased by the Tao-Seeking Tree, but was swept into the turbulence of time and space by a force.

"No problem." Qiu Daomu looked at the bright sky and said with emotion, "Because for us now, it has become history."

Listening to the conversation between the two spirit beasts, Zhou Lu felt a little confused and had no idea what Qiu Dao Mu was trying to express.

However, it is an established fact that the empty threat has been lifted.

Because the selection competition was about to begin, Zhou Lu did not return to Sinanju.

Of course, the main reason is that if they return to Sinanju now, they will soon be entangled in a bunch of trivial matters, and it will be completely impossible for Hanabi to devote herself to preparations for battle.

Although the college has designated that dormitory as Zhou Lu's permanent residence, as Hua Huo's strength has reached the True God stage, the dormitory has become too small for him.

Zhou Lu needed a manor with a large amount of land so that Hua Huo could expand the flower fields and conduct her own tests in her spare time.

However, a suitable manor is not easy to find, and its decoration and layout are also very complicated.

Hanabi is particularly interested in this kind of thing, and she might even become obsessed with doing housework.

Now is the critical moment, and Hanabi must not be distracted by these things.

So Zhou Lu decided to stay in the Veterans Home for the time being, at least until the selection competition is over.

In fact, with Hanabi's current strength, it would be no problem for her to pass the selection competition.

But Zhou Lu didn’t quite understand what Qiu Daomu was thinking now.

It allows itself to participate in the selection competition. Does it really hope to stand at the end?
However, since Qiu Dao Mu did not explicitly refuse, Zhou Lu let Hua Huo act freely.

Under Ye Qingyu's arrangement, Zhou Lu soon arrived at a guest room in the Rongjunyuan.

It turns out that Hanabi still loves housework.

It almost immediately put down everything it was doing and happily started cleaning and tidying up the room.

It even changed into its beloved spirit pet maid outfit for this purpose.

Zhou Lu was speechless when he looked at the clothes on Hua Huo.

Why can you buy all kinds of weird things online?

But one has to admit that this dress seems to suit Hanabi very well, making her look like a beautiful, dignified and elegant flower maid.

While Zhou Lu was thinking, he released the other two spirit pets.

Crescent Moon can be considered an old creature from the last era. Although it has never joined the human camp, it is also a wild spirit beast that is inclined towards humans.

It was familiar with many of the old mythical beasts in the Invalides, so it became very excited as soon as it arrived at the Invalides.

As for Benben, it is now just one step away from evolving to the fifth level.

I have to say that the Jiunan Zhulong is really a strange race.

Their evolution tends to become more difficult as it progresses. Ninety-nine percent of the Nine Difficulties Candle Dragons fail at the first or second stage of evolution. On the contrary, their super-fast and super-stable evolutionary advantages are highlighted in the later stages.

Benben is a typical Candle Dragon of the Nine Difficulties.

It can even be said that it has now completely caught up with Hanabi.

Benben looked at the enthusiastic fireworks not far away and couldn't help but complain: "It still likes cleaning so much..."

"You always have to have some hobbies. What are your hobbies?" Zhou Lu asked with a smile.

Benben was stunned for a moment, and after a long silence, he replied: "Being beaten?"

"..." Zhou Lu's mouth twitched slightly, "I'm talking about the hobby."

"But what I'm talking about is a hobby." Benben said doubtfully, "Is this hobby unique in your human values?"

“I think it’s quite unique.”

"That doesn't make sense. I remember a lot of people on the Internet..."

"Don't look at those messy websites." Zhou Lu said in despair.

He suddenly felt that he seemed to need to restrict his pet's use of computers and the Internet.

On the other side, Yueya had already contacted several old friends who were still alive, and ran over excitedly: "Can I borrow Benben?"

Zhou Lu wondered: "Are you planning to introduce Benben to those divine beast seniors?"

"No, I plan to take it over to help these old guys loosen up their muscles." Yueya said with a smile.

Wow, it turns out that Benben can really become a sports equipment. When Benben heard about this activity, he immediately agreed, and was even more anxious than Yueya.

At this point, Benben is no longer afraid of death at all.

It even has a sense of calmness that only wants to die quickly.

Without the threat of real death, the feeling after the ordeal becomes a completely burden-free pursuit.

After Zhou Lu sent Benben and Yueya away, he suddenly found himself with nothing to do.

He remembered that his senior Ouyang Xiao seemed to be still under quarantine in the Veterans' Hospital, so he said to Hua Huo in the room, "I'll go visit my senior."

"Okay." Hanabi was holding a mop in her hand. She was wearing a maid outfit, but she looked like the mistress of the room. "Go early and come back early, Master."

The joy and liveliness emanating from it seemed to stir up the joy in the air.

The Invalides is very large, after all, each mythical beast has a large comfortable range of activities.

But the Invalides is also very small, because the actual living area for humans is only that big.

It didn't take Zhou Lu much time to find where Ouyang Xiao was staying temporarily.

When Zhou Lu arrived, Ouyang Xiao was typing frantically on the keyboard with a very solemn expression on his face.

Zhou Lu immediately remembered Ye Qingyu's words. Ouyang Xiao might still be arguing with that archaeologist who was full of fallacies and heresies.

Ouyang Xiao stopped what he was doing when he heard the knock on the door. When he turned around and saw Zhou Lu, he didn't look surprised at all.

"I heard from Qingyu that you went to the ancient city of the fairyland for training, and it seems that the training went well." Ouyang's smile was not obvious, but Zhou Lu felt that he was indeed smiling.

"How did you know that?"

"If the training doesn't go well, Qiu Dao Mu will not let you go back so quickly." Ouyang Xiao completely stopped the work at hand and began to greet Zhou Lu.

After Zhou Lu talked about his recent situation, he glanced at Ouyang Xiao's screen and asked with a little curiosity: "How is it? Have you silenced that archaeologist?"

After all, the fact that all of his ancestors were obsessed with Furui was an extremely outrageous statement no matter how you looked at it.

But what surprised Zhou Lu was that when Ouyang Xiao heard this question, his expression became somewhat meaningful.

As the saying goes, the more you argue, the clearer the truth becomes.

While confronting the opponent, Ouyang Xiao gradually began to feel that there was nothing wrong with the opponent's guess.

Because from all the information and clues the other party has, all modern spiritual beasts with the ultimate anthropomorphic form have more or less some relationship with the humans of that era.

There is even existing archaeological evidence for all of these.

The fossils of those spiritual beasts often appear at the same time as various humans.

And the places where they appear are basically in the remains of human residences, some even in bedrooms.

"Wait..." Zhou Lu was getting more and more absurd. "Where did so many remains of human settlements come from... and even with corpses left behind."

As far as Zhou Lu knows, the remains of our ancestors are often found in tombs of burials, and rarely appear in normal residential ruins.

The only possibility is that they suddenly encountered a disaster and died instantly, just like a city destroyed by a sudden eruption of a volcano. Only in this way can the normal life form of our ancestors be preserved.

"Based on the existing evidence, they speculate that human civilization encountered a disaster 40,000 to 50,000 years ago, which almost destroyed the entire human civilization."

That makes sense.

Zhou Lu nodded in understanding. If it hadn't been for a sudden devastating disaster, it would be hard to explain why a civilization so powerful that many spirit beasts evolved into anthropomorphic forms, and even true god-level anthropomorphic forms, to please humans would be destroyed.

"What kind of disaster could allow us to return to such a civilization all of a sudden?" Zhou Lu suddenly asked.

He couldn't help but wonder whether the human beings of this era would be able to survive if such a disaster happened again.

Ouyang Xiao shook his head and said, "The academic community is also debating this. After all, this disaster directly involves the origin of the secret realm and the origin of the beastmasters and immortals."

"Is it actually related to the Beast Tamer and the Immortal?"

"It's related to nature." Ouyang Xiao said as he poured water for Zhou Lu. "After all, humans always have to figure out where they came from. There is a conjecture in the academic community that the disaster was devastating to the mainstream humans at the time, but the damage to beastmasters, immortals, and even most spirit beasts was not as great as imagined."

"Is there really such a disaster?"

"Yes." Ouyang smiled and nodded, "The space is turbulent."

Seeing Zhou Lu's puzzled expression, Ouyang Xiao continued to explain: "It is a space disaster. But so far it only exists in a model that scientists have deduced through theory and mathematics. Some people say that it will never appear in the real world. When it erupts, it will spontaneously grab energy from high-energy objects. If humans are generally powerful at that time, they will indeed become the primary target of space agitation to grab energy, followed by other weaker life forms."

Hearing Ouyang Xiao's words, Zhou Lu couldn't help but ask, "Does it exist in theory?"

"Yes, it exists in theory." Ouyang smiled, "Because its formation requires that a non-ripple space barrier is penetrated by a strong force and absorbs a large amount of energy to form an energy group with space fission power."

"This group is extremely unstable and can explode at any time. The process of its explosion is called space turbulence, which can tear a complete space along the space ripples. Therefore, some people speculate that there was a space turbulence 40,000 to 50,000 years ago, and it was that space turbulence that caused the division of the main space, dividing it into a large number of secret realms."

When Zhou Lu heard Ouyang Xiao's words, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

The process of space turbulence he mentioned reminded Zhou Lu of the hole that Huo Huo had created in the ancient city of the fairyland not long ago.

At that time, the fireworks directly penetrated the space and formed an extremely unstable energy sphere.

If it really is a group that can induce space agitation, then did I really almost destroy the world?

Immediately, Zhou Lu remembered what Qiu Daomu had said to him.

That hole is no longer a problem.

Because for us now, it has become history.

Zhou Lu slowly narrowed his eyes.

Where on earth did this Seeking Truth Wood send that void to?
But really only Qiu Daomu knows all this.

Ouyang Xiao was completely unaware of the storm in Zhou Lu's heart at the moment, and was talking to Zhou Lu about the latest archaeological discoveries.

"In fact, we should be grateful for that disaster, otherwise even we immortals might have become the lowest level of slaves in the hands of humans at that time." Ouyang Xiao said thoughtfully.

Zhou Lu finally came out of his thoughts, looked at Ouyang Xiao and asked curiously, "Senior, why are you suddenly so interested in archaeology?"

Ouyang smiled and said, "I'm working on resurrection of ancient creatures, so naturally I have to keep up to date with the latest archaeological discoveries and extract the genes of ancient beasts from the fossils they have unearthed."
