My beast can't be a demon.

Chapter 72 Dream Stone

The snow is very cold.

The cold was so deep that it froze me to the bone.

Even though Zhou Lu had put on cold-proof gloves, he could still feel the body temperature in his hands being quickly taken away by the ice and snow.

He even felt that he might not be able to dig up anything valuable.

But hard work pays off.

Perhaps because the digging action destroyed some kind of balance, Zhou Lu had not dug a few times when he felt his body lighten and began to fall.

It turned out that the snow under his feet suddenly cracked and fell.

Zhou Lu only felt the sound of wind in his ears.

Bang!
As the body collided with the ground, a huge sound continued to echo in Zhou Lu's ears.

He felt as if his bones were about to break apart and his entire body was in pain.

If it weren't for the thick clothes and the cushioning of the snow, he would have probably been knocked unconscious by the fall.

can not sleep.

Zhou Lu took two deep breaths, climbed up with difficulty, and looked around.

Where did this take me?
Looks like a cave?
Could it be that my adventure is coming?
Zhou Lu immediately thought of the classic adventures in various novels, which seemed to be what the protagonist encountered after entering the cave in desperation.

But Zhou Lu's heart soon sank.

Because the whole cave is bare and there is nothing in it.

Why did the Ghost Heart Purple Mushroom lead me here?
Zhou Lu thought as he walked deeper into the cave.

There was no other way but to leave. Given his current condition, it would be difficult for him to climb out of the cave by himself.

The only way is to go deeper and see if you can find a way out.

After all, this is not a safe zone, and there is no such thing as teleporting out of the secret realm by simply pulling off the bracelet.

If you want to return to the real world, you must go to the set teleportation point to teleport.

If he doesn't find a way to leave here, he won't be able to leave the secret realm even if he wants to.

With this thought in mind, Zhou Lu came to the depths of the cave.

There is still nothing here.

Just as Zhou Lu was thinking this, he suddenly felt something dripping on his nose.

But when he raised his hand, there was nothing.

what happened?

He looked up suspiciously.

The white stone emits a faint light in the dim environment, and it is unknown what kind of mineral it is.

I hope there's no radiation.

And under this dim light, a drizzle of rain fell.

But Zhou Lu only felt the rain hitting him, but he could not touch the rain no matter what.

Zhou Lu was feeling hesitant and uncertain when he saw a familiar figure appear in the corner.

Fireworks?

There may be many Mengyuhua in this world, but the Mengyuhua carrying the white jade snail shell is the only one, Huo Huo.

Zhou Lu subconsciously touched his chest.

Hanabi still lay quietly in his arms, falling into a deep dream.

Just when Zhou Lu was feeling confused and uncertain, a system notification sound popped up in his ears.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for discovering the Dream Stone deposit and completing the relevant tasks ahead of schedule. ]

Complete related tasks ahead of schedule?

Zhou Lu immediately opened the system interface.

[Optional Task: Searching for Dream Stone Deposits]

[Task Introduction: Dream Stone is the favorite food of the quasi-divine beast Death Nightmare. Zhou Lu gained the favor of Death Nightmare with the information about the Dream Stone mine and obtained its protection. Please go to the extremely icy land in the secret realm of the Snow Region and find the Dream Stone mine before Zhou Lu.]

[Quest Reward: Beast Tamer Permanent Skill Card*1] Dream Stone...

Zhou Lu silently recited these three words in his heart.

In the Beast Taming Age, the Beast Tamers who gained control of the world reformed many things, the most important of which was the reform of nouns.

This is what Wu Xiaoqing said to Zhou Lu when they were looking for the Tianxuan Stone last time.

During that reform, the beastmasters deleted the complicated names of the various realms from the immortal era, and unified them into levels one to five.

"The complicated naming of realms is a means used by ancient immortals to show their nobility." Wu Xiaoqing said to Zhou Lu, "If there is no before-and-after comparison, you have no idea who is stronger between the Illusionary Realm and the Mahayana Realm, but the second level and the fifth level can be clearly compared."

"Can you imagine that every grade from elementary school to high school has a special title?"

Similarly, when it comes to naming various items, the immortals do their best to name them in a way that ordinary people simply cannot understand.

Just like the simplification of characters in order to improve the efficiency of human learning, in the Beast Taming Age, many materials were named in a "meaningful" way.

Whether you have a classical education or not, you can probably guess the approximate shape or function of a material by its name.

This is true for jade gravel and black phosphorus stone.

Then according to this logic... this Dream Stone...

Zhou Lu looked at the heavy rain and the fireworks that were digging the soil tirelessly in the rain.

Could it be that the ability of this dream stone is to show dreams?

No... maybe it also has the function of allowing people to enter dreams.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be liked by Nightmare of Death, and she wouldn't have let Hanabi fall into such a dream.

In Fireworks' dream, the rain was falling continuously.

Zhou Lu finally understood the origin of the name Meng Yuhua.

Huahuo obviously didn't know that Zhou Lu was watching its dream.

It finally dug up enough soil.

Hmm! Now we can make a statue for our master!

Hanabi looked at the small mound in front of her, vines on her hips, full of energy.

Zhou Lu sat down against the rock wall.

Turn on [Return Feedback] to increase your attributes in a short period of time.

Looking at the fireworks being made into a statue, he felt better.

In the land of extreme ice... Rain for seven days...

Immortals always like to speak in mysterious ways to show off their own nobility, so much so that many later immortals simply cannot understand the information left behind by their predecessors and have to reinvent the wheel.

Zhou Lu was very skeptical. Given the nature of these guys, could this sentence mean that Meng Yuhua would be allowed to stay in the dreamland for seven days surrounded by the Dream-revealing Stones?

Just tell me, does getting caught in the rain in a dream count as getting caught in the rain?

However, Zhou Lu did not dare to gamble.

He had never seen Hua Huo in such a state before.

He couldn't pin his hopes on a guess that had no basis at all!

He can stay here for seven days without any problem.

Although most of the items were placed inside Hanabi's shell, there were still spores of the Devil's Heart Purple Mushroom in his pockets, and there was snow at the entrance of the cave.

Wu Xiaoqing said that although this thing doesn’t taste good, it’s at least edible.

Coupled with [Repay the debt], Zhou Lu still has some confidence in surviving.

But the prerequisite is to determine the status of fireworks!
Zhou Lu opened the system and looked at the reward for completing the Dream Stone mission.

Beastmaster's permanent skill...

Maybe you can draw a skill that can check the status of fireworks!
Zhou Lu decisively pressed the extraction button.

As the text in front of him scrolled quickly, a skill appeared in front of Zhou Lu.

[Recycling]: Limited to once every seven days. This function will be activated when your pet is on the verge of death or dying. It will be immune to this death and return the pet to the Beast Taming Card.
