My beast can't be a demon.

Chapter 42 [Lilliput Country]

The moment he reached the [Lilliput Country], Zhou Lu felt that no matter what the outcome of his day would be, this trip to this secret realm was worth it.

Not only did he get the white jade snail shell he had planned, he also acquired a brand new skill. Even though he couldn't do anything for the next six days, the 5 credits were not wasted.

Zhou Lu took a deep breath and called back Hua Huo who was having fun.

Hua Huo ran proudly to Zhou Lu with a few bags of nightmare butterflies.

It raised its snail shell and nudged Zhou Lu's ankle.

Patting the shell of the little grass, Zhou Lu looked at the sweaty merchant on the side and said, "It's time to settle."

The merchant swallowed his saliva.

The moment Hua Huo returned to Zhou Lu's feet, everyone present looked at him.

The traveling merchant, who had never felt so much attention before, suddenly felt the pressure doubled.

But his professional ethics still made him say very conscientiously: "These nightmare butterflies are injured because of the mucus, so the price will be lower..."

Well, his professionalism is to bargain even at this time.

Zhou Lu wasn't the type to be so fussy about things, and Hua Huo's use of mucus to catch butterflies did cause some damage to Nightmare Butterfly: "About how much will it drop?"

Maybe Zhou Lu's ability to remain so calm despite everyone's gazes fooled the merchants, so although the final transaction price did not reach the 100,000 that Zhou Lu had expected, it was at least 97,000 per unit.

The area occupied by the Ghost Face Nightmare Butterfly when its wings are spread out is quite large, and one butterfly takes up a large area, so Hanabi caught a total of thirty-three of them in these five minutes.

Zhou Lu didn't hesitate and directly exchanged them all for credits.

At this stage, credits are much more useful than money.

"32 credits again? What a coincidence." Zhou Lu looked at the credits on his student card and smiled.

According to the current market conditions, the purchasing power of 1 credit is equivalent to yuan, which means that if the credits I got from the initial combat exam were converted into money, it would be million yuan.

For a wealthy family, this may not be a big deal.

But for ordinary people, this is definitely a huge sum of money.

Sighing in his heart that Beast Tamers still make money, Zhou Lu looked behind him calmly.

After Hanabi left, the Ghost Face Nightmare Butterfly seemed to have sent away the god of plague and finally began to fly again.

But the other beastmasters were looking at Zhou Lu cautiously at this moment.

Zhou Lu, who thought these people were going to rob him, was a little surprised to see this scene.

But he had already felt relaxed physically and mentally as this trip was not in vain. He nodded to everyone present, then turned around and left the scene with Hua Huo.

The merchant following Zhou Lu was even more decisive. He directly activated the bracelet and parkoured to leave the secret realm.

Thirty-three ghost-faced nightmare butterflies, enough for him to be free and easy for a while.

Fireworks was very happy along the way, and it apparently realized that it seemed to have learned a new skill.

However, it was already late at night, and Zhou Lu did not dare to stay in the wild for too long. He hurried back to the camp with Hua Huo.

After checking into the reserved hotel, he put down the fireworks and began to verify the function of [Lilliput Country].

[Lilliput]: A racial skill of the Ghost Face Nightmare Butterfly that can shrink itself or objects within the light range.

Hanabi first took out everything from her shell, then activated her [Lilliput] skill.

A faint light appeared on its leaves, and all objects covered by the light shrank rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At this moment, Zhou Lu had the illusion of watching Doraemon using the shrinking light.

Starting from the second day, Zhou Lu conducted more detailed tests on [Lilliput]. He always felt that this skill could have a better effect, not just to allow Hua Huo to put more things into her shell. There were a large number of small spirit beasts in the Linxi Secret Realm, so Zhou Lu didn't need to worry about not having materials for experiments.

After several days of testing, Zhou Lu finally roughly determined the boundaries of [Lilliput Country], which can reduce the size and weight of objects.

However, there is a limit to the objects that [Lilliput] can affect, and it cannot be effective on objects that are obviously larger than Fireworks. Shrinking is not infinite, there is a limit.

It requires detailed scientific testing, which Zhou Lu is not good at, and he does not intend to expose Huo Huo's ability.

Secondly, the reduction of [Lilliput] is actively applied, not passively, and can also be actively removed. Firefly can use the removal skill to restore the items she has stored to their original size and weight.

The skill range of [Lilliput] is not large, and it can only be triggered in the light around the fireworks.

But the range of removing the shrinking state of [Lilliput Country] is almost unlimited. At least Fireworks can remove the shrunk object at one end of the safe zone from the other end of the safe zone.

Looking at the stone in his hand that was shrunk to the size of a soybean by the fireworks, Zhou Lu suddenly had a very devilish idea: use this [Lilliput Country] to make the object smaller and trick the other party into eating it...

Then cancel the shrinking state of [Lilliput], and the item will directly grow larger in the opponent's stomach.

It's just like the stand-in little feet in JOJO Golden Wind.

The Nightmare Butterfly can't do this because the largest object it can shrink is not big enough to kill a human instantly, but Fireworks can.

Zhou Lu quickly withdrew the idea. He still had to consider more techniques for use.

During the remaining six days, Zhou Lu also tested the effect of [Lilliput Kingdom] on living things.

As long as it is not actively released, the duration of shrinking non-living things in [Lilliput Country] is almost infinite, but the shrunk living things has a duration, which varies according to their original body size. The longest measured so far is about ten minutes.

After ten minutes, the opponent will automatically return to its previous size.

If a creature dies while in the shrunken state, it will immediately return to its original size. Using Shrink on a corpse treats it as a non-living creature.

However, the shrinking of oneself can last for a long time...

Thinking of this, Zhou Lu helplessly knocked on the fireworks above his head.

Ever since the creation of the "Lilliput Country", Hua Huo's favorite thing is to make herself small and then lie on Zhou Lu's head or hand. From time to time, she would crawl all over his body, sometimes sticking her head out from his trouser legs or sleeves, and sometimes a leaf or two would stick out from his collar.

Of course, its favorite place is the top of Zhou Lu's head.

The little grass lay on Zhou Lu's head, like a strange-shaped hat.

When Zhou Lu was about to shake it off, it wrapped its vines tightly around Zhou Lu's head and refused to let go.

This was really tough on Zhou Lu's head and neck, and this was after the [Lilliput Country] had reduced its weight.

At this moment, he finally realized the correctness of Xiao Xi's words:

"You can't even lift three tons of Super Star Stone, what kind of beastmaster are you?"

Just as he was thinking about it, Zhou Lu felt his hands suddenly become heavy.

It turned out that at some point, the fireworks had already climbed onto Zhou Lu's right arm.

Hua Huo stretched out her vines and hugged Zhou Lu's arm intimately, rubbing it with her tender buds from time to time, looking comfortable and happy.

If you ignore the weight of the fireworks, the scene is still quite warm.

Suddenly, Zhou Lu thought of a trick to use [Lilliput Country]:
"Hanabi, try to see if the [Lilliput] skill can be used on your ramets."
