【叮！任务失败。】

[Your attempt to poison the Death Nightmare with poisonous mushrooms was indeed a good attempt. However, the Nightmare without a physical body is not affected by such attacks at all.]

[But your courage to fight against the beast is admirable. ]

[You get 15% of the task reward, please check. ]

[The system has reset the task, please continue to work hard. ]

【叮！任务失败。】

[You attempted to poison Wu Xiaoqing with a highly toxic mushroom. You almost killed Wu Xiaoqing, but you forgot to take into account her pet, the cursed frog.]

【But your behavior is worthy of praise. 】

With this push, Hua Huo directly gave Zhou Lu the rewards for failing two missions.

Among them, Wu Xiaoqing’s reward for failing a mission is still three B-level skill cards, which means Zhou Lu can happily draw cards again.

The original reward for the mission to assassinate the Nightmare of Death was [Random Offspring of a Divine Beast].

Of course Zhou Lu didn't expect Hua Huo to really use poisonous mushrooms to poison Death Nightmare to death.

But he was really curious, what was the offspring of this random divine beast?
However, since the mission was destined to fail, Zhou Lu put away his curiosity and looked at the reward for failing the Death Nightmare mission.

"The location information of the random offspring of a divine beast..."

Zhou Lu looked at the name of the reward, stroked his chin and fell into thought.

The nature of this world is actually very fair in a sense.

All creatures that want to become powerful spiritual beasts need to start as ordinary creatures, undergo transformation to become extraordinary, grow, mature, and then become quasi-gods and become gods.

Even the descendants of mythical beasts are no exception.

However, as the offspring of divine beasts, if they are cared for by their parents, their starting line will actually be higher than that of most spiritual beasts.

But not all spirit beasts have the habit of taking care of their offspring.

In nature, the proportion of animals that take care of their offspring, such as mammals and birds, is actually very low.

Most spiritual beasts, even those that have truly become divine beasts, will still follow their own instincts in terms of reproduction most of the time and run away after laying eggs.

This refers only to wild mythical beasts.

The divine beasts trained by human beast masters still have the willingness to take care of their offspring under the discipline of human civilization.

But even if Zhou Lu knew the location of such offspring of divine beasts, he was not qualified to take them.

Therefore, Zhou Lu could only hope that the reward would give him the position of an offspring of a wild divine beast.

And they are the offspring of the kind of divine beast that only gives birth but does not raise the children.

The offspring of divine beasts still have to transform and grow from ordinary creatures.

But their parents have set an example, at least proving that they also have the potential to become gods if they have enough resources.

Zhou Lu is now at level two and has a blank Beast Taming Card slot.

He happened to be thinking about the issue of the second favorite recently.

There are so many spiritual pets known to humans today that dozens or even hundreds of new entries are added to the illustrated guide every year.

Among them, there are more than a dozen or twenty spiritual beasts that are suitable to be his spiritual pets. This is the result of Zhou Lu's screening based on the conditions for cooperation with Huo Huo.

If we only consider strength, Zhou Lu has more choices.

Zhou Lu was very sure that given the nature of this system, there would definitely be tasks related to his second pet.

But no matter how he tried, he still couldn't trigger the mission of the second pet even though he had almost memorized the Beast Taming Guide.

Your system is lame.

If you don’t tell me, how would I know how to choose my second favorite?

Although Zhou Lu complained like this, he quickly adjusted his mentality.

The future is chosen by yourself, not given by others.

He doesn't need to be so dependent on the system.

Well, the information reward about the offspring of this divine beast comes at just the right time.

Since I don’t have a goal now, I might as well go and take a look at this so-called offspring of a divine beast.

However, Zhou Lu was not confident in his luck. He even suspected that he might be able to find out the information about the descendants of the Tao Tree.

That’s right, it’s the location information of the general fairies.

Although Xiao Xi's daily strength cannot even beat a grass in the transformation period, it is undeniable that she is indeed the offspring of a divine beast.

But such an offspring of a divine beast is obviously not what Zhou Lu wants.

Thinking of this, Zhou Lu raised his head and looked at Hua Huo who was still standing stubbornly on the proud mountain peak.

After Wu Xiaoqing was poisoned by the mushroom and swallowed by the cursed frog and then spit out, Hua Huo climbed back very skillfully.

It is not difficult to see from the emotions it feedbacks that it truly feels very comfortable in this position.

It seems that it is urgent to educate Fireworks about human social etiquette.

Before that, I should use [Body Feeding] to bless Hanabi and let it open this information scroll.

Just as Zhou Lu was thinking about it, Wu Xiaoqing, who was spit out by the cursed frog, finally opened her eyes and sat up from the floor.

She looked at the fireworks on her chest and complained, "You are very talented in that area, fireworks. I have some harmless chemicals that promote local fat growth. Would you like to know about them?"

Hearing Wu Xiaoqing's words, Zhou Lu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Because he had heard the same words from the mouth of the Deathly Nightmare.

This means that if the Death Nightmare wants to, the life it controls through dreams can achieve perfect disguise.

Thinking of this, Zhou Lu couldn't help but feel a little creepy.

He didn't know how many people the Death Nightmare could control in this way, but he felt terrified when he thought that everyone around him would be controlled and replaced by it silently, while he would not be able to tell any difference between them.

Their words and actions were exactly the same as before, and there was no difference in their complexion or preferences.

So, you would have no way of knowing the existence of the Death Nightmare until it controls the bodies of your relatives and friends and stabs you with a fatal blow.

The most important thing is, as long as it is not said, then until the end you may think that you have been betrayed by the person closest to you.

No wonder the True Immortal killed all his family members before going into battle with the Nightmare of Death.

Once doubt is born, it will grow wildly in the human heart until it finally swallows up all your reason.

If the system task had not popped up, Zhou Lu would not have been able to tell that Wu Xiaoqing's body had been controlled by the other party.

Just as Zhou Lu was about to speak, Wu Xiaoqing stood up and took out a lighter with an expressionless face.

After a while of being roasted, Hua Huo reluctantly climbed down from Wu Xiaoqing's body.

Although it is not afraid of fire, it will not seek trouble if it is clearly expelled.

It climbed onto Zhou Lu's body skillfully.

Scratch.

Xiao Caocao used his vines to make a disappointed expression.

The master is not big enough...

Zhou Lu felt Hua Huo's movements and was speechless.

It turns out that he needs to be educated properly!
"Okay, it's getting late." Wu Xiaoqing glanced at the time and said to Zhou Lu, "Go back and have a good rest."

As she spoke, she pulled out a bag of black powder from her pocket.

Sprinkled onto the rotten wood of a test bench, the powders began to expand rapidly.

These are mushroom spores, but most of them die in the process of growth.

In the end, only one pure black mushroom managed to grow.

Starlight is flowing on the surface of the mushroom.

It records Wu Xiaoqing's dream and the nightmare of death.

"What is this?" Zhou Lu asked curiously.

"Black inscription mushroom." Wu Xiaoqing grinned, "It seems that I succeeded."

"Success? Success in what?"

Wu Xiaoqing pointed at the only fully grown black inscription mushroom and said proudly, "Now, as long as I crush this mushroom, I can unleash the skill of Death Nightmare!"

"???"

Damn it? !
