My beast can't be a demon.

Chapter 41 What kind of spiritual beast is this?
"You are so lucky." The merchant following Zhou Lu looked at the sky full of ghost-faced nightmare butterflies and said, "You happened to catch the time when a new batch of nightmare butterflies transformed."

There is a reason why the price of the Ghost Face Nightmare Butterfly is so high.

What is now presented in front of Zhou Lu is their first-stage metamorphosis form. What their larvae look like is still a mystery in the academic community.

Not knowing the larval morphology means it is impossible to monitor and speculate on the appearance of the Ghost Face Nightmare Butterfly, and there is no way to carry out targeted breeding.

"Huh? Lucky?" Zhou Lu was a little surprised, "I thought it was always like this."

The merchant laughed and said, "It would be great if the Ghost-Faced Nightmare Butterfly could be found everywhere like chipmunks on the prairie. We wouldn't have to buy them at a price of hundreds of thousands each."

"So expensive?"

"It's not a consumable item," the merchant said. "To use a more vivid metaphor, it's a spiritual beast similar to a production equipment. Plus it's rare, so its price is naturally high. But this is the first time I've seen so many nightmare butterflies."

The transformation of the Ghost Face Nightmare Butterfly has no seasonal pattern and seems to be related to the environment of the Linxi Secret Realm, but overall it appears randomly throughout the year.

“If you had come a week later, all the nightmare butterflies here might have been caught,” said the merchant.

While they were talking, several more beastmasters arrived here with their traveling merchants.

Zhou Lu was not surprised by this. This was the well-known habitat of the Ghost-faced Nightmare Butterfly. In addition, the Nightmare Butterfly had a high added value, making it the first choice for many beastmasters to capture.

However, the nightmare butterfly is not so easy to catch.

As a fantasy species, their racial skill [Lilliput] cannot affect objects that are too different from their size, but it is still a very powerful skill.

Many novices lose their minds when they see so many ghost-faced nightmare butterflies, and order their pets to rush in and catch the butterflies.

However, after a short while, these novices suffered a great loss.

The Nightmare Butterfly's shrinking skill actually has an effect on their own skills as well as those of spirit beasts.

Zhou Lu saw with his own eyes a mud monster throwing mud at the Nightmare Butterfly, trying to knock the butterfly down. However, as soon as the mud entered the light range of the Nightmare Butterfly, it began to shrink continuously, and finally grew from the size of a lead ball to the size of a soybean and flew past the Nightmare Butterfly.

But experienced butterfly catchers have much more experience.

They all went up by themselves with professional net bags, and the spirit pets were responsible for limiting the range of activities of the nightmare butterflies.

Due to the huge difference in size, the Nightmare Butterfly cannot shrink humans, and this net bag is a special insect catching net bag produced by Qimeng Beast Technology Company.

The outer coating of the net bag is made of the mucus of the curse frog, which can resist the influence of most skills.

It’s a pity that as a rare spiritual beast in the third mature stage, there are only a few of them in the world, and this kind of insect net is simply not affordable for ordinary people.

Zhou Lu didn't know what the characteristics of this insect net were. He just felt that the ability to be immune to the [Lilliput Kingdom] was somewhat magical.

But these beast masters holding special insect nets were not very happy at this time.

They frowned as they looked at the strange snails scurrying around on the ground.

Hanabi happily held up five insect nets woven from vines and ran happily among the group of nightmare butterflies.

In a short while, many nightmare butterflies were stuck on her net bag.

Xiao Caocao doesn't understand what the "Lilliput Country" is.

All I know is that these butterflies seem to shrink their vines.

But it doesn't matter!

If it gets smaller, I will just grow bigger.

Fireworks wrapped several layers of vines around the outside of the net bag, and in order to prevent the butterflies from shrinking their bodies and slipping away through the gaps in the vines, she wove the net bag more densely.

After the two sides' fierce competition, Hua Huo's insect net became a deadly net for the ghost-faced nightmare butterfly. With the help of the sticky baby's mucus, Hua Huo's net can reduce the number of butterflies in the sky.

The eyes of the people around suddenly became unfriendly.

Everyone is here for the Ghost Face Nightmare Butterfly. Aren’t you going too far?
The nightmare butterfly is not like the white jade snail, which has several populations distributed in the safe zone. Their habitat is only here, if Zhou Luquan pulls them all out, their trip will be in vain.

Although everyone was unhappy, no one dared to actually take action.

It’s not because they are afraid of the safety teacher. As long as no one is killed, the safety teacher will not stop them.

They looked at the lively fireworks in the field, feeling confused and uncertain.

What kind of spiritual beast is this?
The shell on its back seems to be a white jade snail, but its movements look like those of a plant spirit beast.

With such agile movements, it must be at least a second-level plant spirit beast that has completed the molting process, right?
It seems that it is not affected by the [Lilliput] skill.

Ghost! Could this be a third-level spirit beast?
Some people have already taken out the electronic atlas at this time, but Huo Huo's current image is too weird, a piece of grass running around on the ground with a snail shell on its back. No matter how high-tech the electronic atlas is, it is impossible to imagine such a picture.

So it is no surprise that the electronic atlas does not contain any information about the species of Fireworks.

Rare species?

The onlookers were even more afraid to take action.

It is not only a third-level plant spirit beast, but also a rare species that has never appeared before.

Damn, could it be that the big guy came to the C-level secret realm to fry fish?

When the onlookers were watching, Zhou Lu was also under a lot of pressure.

Of course he knew that what Hua Huo did definitely affected the interests of everyone present, but the five minutes of [Body Feeding] couldn't be wasted. The attributes were fine, but if he didn't get the skill [Lilliput Country], wouldn't he be at a loss?
No matter what! I have to take a risk today!

Zhou Lu forced himself to remain calm, calming his mind and feeling the changes in the skill attributes brought about by [Body Feeding], preparing for the next practice of [Body Feeding].

He didn't think of putting on airs, after all, he didn't know that these people would mistake Huo Huo for a rare third-level spirit beast.

Zhou Lu's idea is very simple:

I'm just staying here. Come over and fight me if you dare.

Anyway, I have a safe teacher behind me. At worst, I will be beaten half to death and be rescued by Lu Rang.

[Lilliput] I must acquire this skill today!
After having the idea of ​​giving it all up, the pressure on Zhou Lu disappeared.

He stood there calmly, closed his eyes and felt the operation of the [Body Feeding] skill.

Maybe it was the spiritual resonance brought about by their escape from the enlarged delicious mushroom just now, Zhou Lu seemed to feel a hint of the charm of [Body Feeding].

After Zhou Lu completely relaxed, his leisurely and contented look made everyone more certain that his identity was not simple.

But... would such a big boss bring a traveling merchant with him? Would he still care about this little money?

When people were in doubt, Zhou Lu suddenly opened his eyes.

coming!

He felt it.

Taking out Hanabi's Beast Taming Card, the skill of [Lilliput Country] appeared on it.
