My beast can't be a demon.

Chapter 64 Encounter (Please read on~!!)

When Zhou Lu saw this glowing mushroom, he seemed to feel a kind of fear from the bottom of his heart, which made his scalp tighten.

After a few seconds, he realized that this was not fear...

"Hanabi... don't be so scared, you are safe now!" Zhou Lu helplessly knocked on Hanabi who was holding his scalp tightly with vines.

Growing grass on your head is a strange thing.

It’s even more strange that the grass that grows there is afraid of heights.

The fireworks, which had never flown so high before, obviously didn't believe it and still pulled Zhou Lu's hair and refused to let go.

Zhou Lu had to seriously consider his future hair volume.

You can't just shave your head like Li Yi did, right?
Come to think of it, it's a good thing that Hanabi doesn't have the habit of secreting mucus when frightened.

While Zhou Lu was thankful, he also asked curiously: "Why does this mushroom... glow?"

"Nearby." Wu Xiaoqing came back to her senses and said with a serious expression, "The guy who attacked and killed the professor is nearby."

"What?" Zhou Lu was also slightly surprised.

By this time, Wu Xiaoqing had regained her composure.

"Xiao Hei, use Breeze to explore." Wu Xiaoqing gave orders to her black-crowned eagle.

The black-crowned eagle let out a clear bird cry, and a barely detectable air current emanated from it.

As the air currents fluctuate into the distance, all objects along the way are marked by the black-crowned eagle.

"Could it be the same spirit beast?"

"No. The Ghost Heart Purple Mushroom records the aura of spirit beasts, just like human fingerprints. Even spirit beasts of the same species will have differences."

Wu Xiaoqing closed her eyes and began to synchronize her consciousness with the black crowned eagle.

This is the racial skill of the Eastern Black-crowned Eagle.

In this way, Wu Xiaoqing can see the units marked by the black-crowned eagle.

Wu Xiaoqing quickly found her target among these marks.

"How could it be..." Wu Xiaoqing frowned slightly.

"what happened?"

"That spirit beast is in the patrolling spirit beast team of the pioneer army." Wu Xiaoqing pondered, "and it is right above the Suzaku Temple."

Standing at this position, Zhou Lu could vaguely see the Suzaku Temple.

It is said to be a temple, but in fact it is a ruin.

In the center of the ruins is a broken statue depicting the legendary mythical beast Suzaku.

Above the statue is a group of patrolling bird spirit beasts, all of which are pets from the pioneer army.

The criminal marked by Wu Xiaoqing was among these patrolling pets.

"You mean, the murderer is from the Pioneer Army?" Zhou Lu was shocked.

Is there any conspiracy involved here?

"No matter where he is from, that bastard is someone who taught me." Wu Xiaoqing took a deep breath and said calmly, "I can't let the person who killed him go unpunished."

"Let's go first. I'll find a chance to get close to the pet." Wu Xiaoqing said to Zhou Lu, "Then use the Ghost Heart Purple Mushroom to find the real murderer through the contract between the pet and the beastmaster."

"You need my help, right?" Zhou Lu took the firework off his head, "Maybe the firework can help you put the ghost heart purple mushroom on."

Hanabi gave herself a thumbs up with her vine.

"Let's find out the situation over there first." Wu Xiaoqing has now regained her composure.

Looking at Wu Xiaoqing who was thinking, Zhou Lu's thoughts became a little vague.

Wu Xiaoqing was so concerned about avenging a man she called a villain.

What about her father? Wu Xiaoqing told Zhou Lu more than once that Zhou Minghai was a mentor who changed her life. If Zhou Minghai hadn't helped her, she wouldn't have achieved what she has now.

So, what kind of investigation did Wu Xiaoqing do after her father died?

Did she examine her father's body through the Ghost Heart Purple Mushroom?
You know, Wu Xiaoqing was present when her father died suddenly.

In Zhou Lu's fantasies during the few days when he traveled through time, this senior sister was even a villain.

Just as I was thinking about it, Wu Xiaoqing should have brought Zhou Lu to land near the Suzaku Temple.

This is a large area of ​​ruins, and special proof is required to enter.

However, Wu Xiaoqing happened to have the certificate issued by Xu Yilong, so she was quickly allowed to enter the ruins.

The Suzaku dung soil is located on the southeast side of the ruins.

At this time, a large pit had been dug there, with blood-red soil exposed outside.

As if she sensed the scent of Suzaku's excrement, Hanabi seemed a little excited.

Wu Xiaoqing took the black-crowned eagle back into the beast card and summoned the cursed frog again.

At this time, there were already many beastmasters on the scene.

They are all researchers from major beast taming academies and research institutions.

Everyone was digging in the red dirt in the pit.

Wu Xiaoqing saw a few familiar faces among these people and started chatting with them.

These people may not know that this is Vermillion Bird dung, but through their own research, they found that this soil is very beneficial for the cultivation of plant-based spirit beasts, so they plan to take more samples back for experiments.

Wu Xiaoqing was not surprised by this because she came here for the same reason.

The collection work was actually very smooth.

As Wu Xiaoqing's assistant, Zhou Lu put the fireworks in his arms into the pit.

As soon as the fireworks touched the red soil, they showed an intoxicated expression.

It seemed as if the land before it was heaven.

Instinctively, it began to use its vines to dig red soil and put it into its shell.

At the same time, Zhou Lu and Wu Xiaoqing were observing the surrounding environment.

This area is currently in the blockade area of ​​the pioneer army and no one can enter without a permit.

Around the ruins of the Suzaku Temple, you can see many beastmasters wearing the uniforms of the pioneer army.

The bird pets that patrol the sky come from them.
The bird spirit beast that Wu Xiaoqing discovered was a second-level spirit beast called Thunderbird.

Its attack does resemble a lightning strike.

If the attack is carried out during a thunderstorm, it will be difficult to detect.

But... this era is the era of beast taming.

A professor at a college died inexplicably from a lightning strike. Could it be that they didn't even take the most basic steps to eliminate attacks from spiritual beasts?
Even if the attack looks like a lightning strike, the aura of the spirit beast's skills is still difficult to hide from many reconnaissance-type spirit beasts.

Wu Xiaoqing seemed to smell a conspiracy.

Just like the death of Professor Zhou.

Just like this time, Wu Xiaoqing actually had another ghost-heart purple mushroom on her body.

That came from Zhou Haiming's body.

Just as Zhou Lu guessed, Wu Xiaoqing has never given up investigating the cause of her teacher's death.

But unlike this clear attack by a spirit beast, Wu Xiaoqing didn't even dare to let Zhou Lu know about this.

After all, the mushroom points to a type of people who should have disappeared from this world long ago.
