My beast can't be a demon.

Chapter 307 Special Quarantine Officer
In fact, most skills pale in comparison to [Fool].

Whether it is a water snake for washing cats or a bird of paradise for washing birds.

As long as their skill effects affect Hanabi, it can be exempted from the influence or the skill target can be transferred through the effect of [Fool].

If fireworks can do it, there is no reason why Meng Yu Hua Xian can't do it.

There is a reason why Qiudao Mu made such an arrangement for Hanabi.

When two spirit beasts that have transformed from Dream Rain Flowers into Nine Lives Immortal Grasses confront each other, the number of racial skills they possess becomes the factor that determines the outcome.

There is no doubt that Mengyuhuaxian possesses unparalleled powerful attributes thanks to her skill [Immortal].

Although Fireworks is equally powerful, its attributes cannot catch up with Mengyu Huaxian who was born thousands of years earlier.

But in terms of the number of skills, Huohuabi can be said to have caught up and even has a chance to surpass.

In the past thousand years, humans have actually artificially selected many new spiritual beasts through various methods such as breeding and hybridization.

In recent decades, with the explosion of beast taming technology, humans' application of genetic technology has created a large number of new spiritual beasts.

This craze for developing new spiritual beasts is really crazy. In just a few decades, humans have artificially bred hundreds of new spiritual beasts.

In pursuit of efficiency, researchers will do everything they can to publish papers faster than other research institutes.

Qiu Daomu knew very well that behind madness there were often huge hidden dangers.

Humanity has never lacked people of insight.

Many people have expressed their concerns through various channels.

Now both the academic community and the government have been calling for restrictions on the use of genetic technology in the breeding of spiritual beasts, because this is likely to create unimaginable "monsters."

In a sense, humans have already glimpsed the power of nature.

In their own research institutes, they are like gods of nature, screening the organisms in the laboratory.

However, there is nothing in this world that can be obtained without paying a price.

While humans are wielding the power to screen species that should be held by nature, they are also gradually shouldering everything that nature should bear.

While Firefly's research institute survey allowed it to happily brush up its attributes, it also revealed the dire state of the entire beast taming technology.

People are so obsessed with efficiency that many processes seem too rough.

Many new spirit beasts that originally had great potential were directly cut off because they could not meet the expectations of the original plan.

That's fine, even if the experimental products are destroyed, it will be enough to solve most of the problems.

But many people don't want to be blamed for wasting research funds and keep the experimental products.

It has the power of nature, but without its cruelty.

If it weren't for Hanabi's census that made Qiu Daomu aware of this problem, humans would probably suffer great losses because of their own research products sooner or later.

Of course, this is also the result of Qiu Dao Mu's indulgence.

It had already prepared to use the results of these research institutes as nourishment for Huo Huo. Even if Huo Huo did not propose that plan, it would find a way to let Huo Huo get in touch with it.

As expected... is the power beginning to wane? It can only detect many threads of fate after the fact.

Qiu Daomu murmured in his heart, but there was not much sadness.

If we can protect the era created by the master, all the costs will be worth it.

When Qiu Daomu came to his senses, the fight between Zhou Lu and Le Xiaoxi had already begun.

Um...to be precise, it's over.

Qiudao Mu looked at the wolf king who had fainted on the ground. Its body was covered with vines, which was obviously the work of Hanabi.

On the other side, Hua Huo was holding a net bag and chasing the Phoenix Bird of Paradise.

"Don't come over here!!!" Le Xiaoxi's voice came from the bird of paradise's throat, "The battle is over!"

"Not yet!" Hanabi said firmly, "Let me see!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Caocao caught the bird of paradise in his net without saying a word.

As Benny's shell shattered, Hanabi successfully grabbed "Heaven Above".

Le Xiaoxi's defeat also officially represented that Zhou Lu won the selection competition.

He won so easily, and throughout the entire competition, there was almost no opponent who posed a real threat to Hanabi.

Not to mention being a threat, these mythical beasts don't even have the ability to hurt Hanabi.

This also means that Hua Huo's strength has already surpassed other spiritual beasts of the same generation by a huge margin.

Sure enough, after Meng Yuhua successfully transformed into a supernatural being and changed its job to become the Nine-Life Immortal Grass, the potential it possessed was truly enormous.

This route is actually nothing special in nature, because there are almost no Mengyuhua flowers to complete the entire route.

Mengyuhuaxian is just an exception among exceptions over millions of years.

If it had not accidentally absorbed the racial skills of a dying immortal, it would not have been possible to accumulate attributes so quickly and successfully survive in the natural world where only the fittest survive.

Hanabi is undoubtedly lucky.

It encountered human beastmasters and a peaceful human environment.

And this is also the luck of mankind.

At least they are no longer completely powerless when facing the Dream Rain Flower Fairy who is about to break the seal.

"Okay, okay, let them out quickly." Zhou Lu hugged Huo Huo who rushed towards him and pointed helplessly at the bird of paradise in the net bag.

Le Xiaoxi had given up treatment at this time.

This look is completely socially dead!

This grass has no moral principles at all. If it defeats its own pet, isn't it already a win? Why does it have to chase after itself?

And the illusion was a bit strange. The battle was over, so why hadn’t it dissipated yet?

Le Xiaoxi stood weakly on Ye Qingyu's head: "Is Qiu Daomu doing something?"

Zhou Lu was not surprised to hear Le Xiaoxi's question.

There has never been a shortage of such smart people among mankind.

Ye Qingyu naturally had no answer to this.

Le Xiaoxi left with doubts.

However, the impact of this event continued in the following days.

Although the general public does not know the true significance of this competition, it does not prevent them from celebrating it.

Eight mythical beasts, fighting on the stage, such a scene has never been imagined by human generations at least.

You know, in the past, divine beasts and fifth-rank beastmasters were all high and mighty, and generally would not take the initiative to appear in the public eye.

After all, although nuclear bombs are used for deterrence, it is impossible to use them to explode every day.

With the end of the competition, the shadow lingering in people's hearts has dissipated somewhat.

The contestants participating in the competition are all very young fifth-level beastmasters. The youngest of them, Zhou Lu, has even just graduated early from the Beastmaster Academy.

This means that for the next few decades at least, humans don’t need to worry about any problems with their peak combat power.

Of course, many people are speculating about the reasons for holding this event.

Most people thought it was to calm people's hearts, but some began to speculate whether the beastmaster was chosen for a certain mythical beast.

Because it’s not like similar programs haven’t appeared before, the authorities do sometimes hold such competitions to select new beastmasters for lonely beasts. But the scene of eight beasts competing on the same stage like now has never appeared before.

No matter what, Zhou Lu has always been outside the storm of public speculation.

He has more important things to do.

Having graduated early, he needs to plan his future career well.

Well, yes, work.

Having graduated early and been exempted from compulsory military service, he now needs to consider his future career plans.

At least, I have to find something to do.

With the end of the selection competition, Huo Huo has demonstrated a powerful strength far beyond her peers. In addition, the same spirit beast cannot be absorbed repeatedly in a short period of time, and this cooldown cannot be reset by any skill.

Zhou Lu felt that it would be useless for him to continue staying in the Veterans Home.

Under Qiu Dao Mu's arrangement, Hua Huo had already fought against all the sacred beasts in the Invalides.

The good news is that it’s all win.

This is also the bad news, because it means that Huahu can no longer find the ladder to progress here.

Qiu Daomu also agreed to let Zhou Lu take Hua Huo out for a walk.

Ye Qingyu looked at Zhou Lu across from her speechlessly, then looked at the application in her hand and asked doubtfully, "Are you sure you want to do this job?"

"Of course, isn't this also one of the jobs of the nursing team?"

"But it's a tedious job, and the pay isn't high."

"I think it would be your dereliction of duty if I still have to worry about salary now." Zhou Lu glanced at Ye Qingyu and said.

Okay, that makes sense.

If a beast tamer of divine beasts has to consider his livelihood, then the official system is rotten to the core.

"But you are a fifth-level beastmaster after all..." Ye Qingyu thought for a moment, then sighed and said, "Forget it. I've seen even weirder guys."

Having said that, Ye Qingyu stamped it directly.

The position Zhou Lu applied for was [Specially Appointed Quarantine Inspector].

The modern spiritual animal breeding industry has become very prosperous, but it has also brought about various epidemic problems.

Except for the breeding bases for combat spirit beasts, the living environment of spirit beasts in other breeding bases used for food and material production is not good.

In order to pursue the ultimate rate of return, these factories will squeeze the living space of spiritual beasts to the minimum extent.

This is even the result of the nursing team's reorganization.

Although the nursing team's mission is to protect spiritual animals, they are essentially protecting animals in order to protect humans.

These factories engaged in production are related to the food, clothing, housing and transportation of all mankind, and the nursing team cannot move around them at will.

However, it is not entirely correct to say that the nursing team has no means to rectify these factories.

For example, the quarantine officer position that Zhou Lu applied for.

Crowded and confined spaces are prone to epidemics. Once an outbreak occurs, it will lead to the death of a large number of farmed beasts and may also spread to society.

Therefore, the care team sends special personnel to each breeding base for inspection every once in a while.

This is also the main purpose of Zhou Lu applying for this position.

In addition to taking Hua Huo on tours at public expense, he can also use this opportunity to enter various breeding bases and let Hua Huo touch all the large number of farmed spiritual beasts under the pretext of checking for diseases.

Generally speaking, this kind of inspection is mainly based on random inspection, because you can't check every spirit beast. But Hua Huo doesn't need to, it can use its vines to check all the spirit beasts.

These spirit beasts that are engaged in production or bred to become spirit pets are certainly far inferior to high-level spirit beasts in strength, and the profit that Huo Huo can gain from a single individual will definitely not be too high.

But the number of spiritual beasts being raised is huge.

In the face of huge numbers, qualitative change is almost certain.

"Stamp a few more certificates." Zhou Lu took out a few more certificates and pushed them in front of Ye Qingyu.

The efficiency of a firework is too low, so the advantages of plant pets will naturally come into play at this time.

Ye Qingyu looked at the pile of certificates in front of her, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

Special quarantine inspectors have the highest authority for quarantine, and no organization or individual may prevent quarantine inspectors from conducting quarantine.

Looking at Zhou Lu and Hua Huo who were full of enthusiasm in front of her, Ye Qingyu suddenly felt that the day of suffering for the entire breeding industry might be approaching.

However, Ye Qingyu had no reason to doubt Zhou Lu's professional level. After all, he also had relevant certificates.

This is a good thing, and it can also eliminate safety hazards in various places.

As humans gradually deepen their exploration of secret places and nature, pathogens hidden deep in the jungle have also entered human society along with the pace of human exploration.

In addition to caring for the spirit beasts, the nursing team is also responsible for human medical care.

If Zhou Lu's census can reduce the sources of infection between humans and animals, it would be completely acceptable.

Thinking of this, Ye Qingyu stamped the document without hesitation.

"Oh! Huo Huo, we have a job now!" Zhou Lu was very happy when he got the certificate.

Hanabi was even more delighted as she held up the evidence.

If Ye Qingyu hadn't known that the guy opposite her had been an official disaster investigator, she would have really believed his lies.

"Don't give me that. Haven't you done similar work before?" Ye Qingyu complained.

"It's different. Disaster investigators are temporary workers." Zhou Lu said confidently.

“…” Ye Qingyu was speechless for a moment.

Hua Huo and Zhou Lu left happily under Ye Qingyu's gaze.

Until this point, Ye Qingyu still didn't know what Zhou Lu wanted to do.

If she knew, she would definitely regret it.

******
When Qiudao Mu came to the valley again, the sky of the secret realm had changed.

The Zhulong couple hovered in the air, using their own strength to suppress the seal in the air.

"We have tried our best to suppress it, but this guy's pollen can still fly out from the cracks in the seal."

Qiu Daomu nodded and said, "I know, if the situation is not right, you can leave immediately."

It had long anticipated that the Dream Rain Flower Fairy would spread pollen through the cracks.

Although it cannot parasitize the ramets like fireworks, Mengyu Flower Fairy can spread the ramets through pollen and even achieve a parasitic control effect similar to fireworks.

This is also the main reason why it chose Zhulong as its guard.

They are not affected by other effects and are the few spiritual beasts that can escape safely when facing the Dream Rain Flower Fairy.

Of course, they can't defeat the Dream Rain Flower Fairy.

"I have sealed off this secret realm." Qiu Daomu said casually.

“Yiyi? The one outside is Yiyi, right? Hehehehe! I told you that as long as we tear open the crack, you can get through!”

Laughter came from the gap.
