My beast can't be a demon.

Chapter 85 Nine Difficulties Candle Dragon
[Ding! The host has been detected to have come into contact with the Jiunan Candle Dragon information, and the relevant tasks have been triggered.]

When Xiao Xi began to explain the information about Jiunan Zhulong to Zhou Lu, the system prompt sounded.

[Task Introduction: Jiunan Zhulong is Zhou Lu's second pet. As the weapon of the End Rose, it plays a vital role in Zhou Lu's growth. Preventing Zhou Lu from obtaining Jiunan Zhulong's egg may block the growth of Zhou Lu and the End Rose.]

[Task Reward: Random Beast Tamer Skill Card*2, Random Spirit Beast Skill Card (Type A)*1]

Zhou Lu narrowed his eyes subconsciously.

I extracted relevant information about Jiunan Zhulong from the system, and the system task told me that this was my second pet.

Is this really a coincidence?

Or is it intentional guidance of the system?
Or maybe he got the information about Jiunan Zhulong, which changed the future and affected the choice of the second pet?

But to be honest, when he saw the name Jiunan Zhulong, he was indeed moved.

Nine-life immortal grass and nine-difficulty candle dragon.

Just looking at the name, if you really choose it as your second favorite, people with obsessive-compulsive disorder will be absolutely ecstatic.

Xiao Xi continued to tell the relevant information about Jiunan Zhulong.

The reason why Jiunan Zhulong became extinct is related to the way it evolved.

The eggshells of Zhulong are actually very weak, and their cubs can hatch at any stage.

But the characteristics of Zhulong are such that their future is determined from the moment they break out of their shells.

Ambitious cubs naturally want to evolve to a higher form in the egg.

So, how do you evolve the spirit beast in the egg?
The answer lies in the name Jiunan Zhulong.

The evolution of Jiunan Zhulong in the egg does not require any materials, it only needs to go through hardships.

This method of evolution can be said to be the simplest among all spiritual beasts.

But the simplest often means the most difficult.

Xiao Xi gave an example: "The egg in your hand, as long as you knock it against the edge of the bowl tens of thousands of times with all your strength, as long as the shell does not break, it can transform into an extraordinary egg and evolve into a first-level egg. Do you think this is easy or difficult?"

"Uh..." Zhou Lu groaned, "I guess it's difficult..."

"That's the truth." Xiao Xi spread her hands and said, "So, most of the Candle Dragons that pursue evolution died on the road to evolution. This weird way of evolution has resulted in basically no high-level Candle Dragons being born."

Zhou Lu was a little nervous: "But even so, they won't go extinct, right? Wouldn't it be fine if they just gave up evolving and hatched?"

"Oh, their extinction is not due to the difficulty in evolution." Xiao Xi scratched his head.

"Then why?"

"It's so delicious that humans are eating it to extinction."

"..."

"But you know what, with Zhulong's looks, he might still be a popular choice as a pet even now," Xiao Xi said, recalling.

Based on Xiao Xi's description, Zhou Lu roughly sketched out the image of Zhulong in his mind.

In its beast state, Zhulong has no dragon scales and is blue-white in color, like a smooth four-legged snake with four legs.

Wait, why does this description always give me a sense of déjà vu of the masculine Itachi?

Starting from the first stage, the hatched Zhulong will be covered with scales and begin to look similar to the dragon in mythology and legends.

Well, if that's the case, I would still prefer to keep a swift-spinning weasel.

Zhou Lu stroked his chin and thought.

I read too many novels about raising a dragon in my previous life.

How nice it is to hold the soft Itachi!
Xiao Xi examined Zhou Lu's expression and said speechlessly, "Why do I feel like you are thinking about something weird?"

"No way." Zhou Lu came back to his senses and said with a smile, "Go on."

"That's about all the information we have about Zhulong." Xiao Xi spread her hands and said, "After all, it was a species that became extinct before my mother's mother was born, and the information passed down by Qiu Dao Mu is not much."

The mother that Xiao Xi mentioned was the mythical beast Qiu Dao Mu. After hearing how Jiu Nan Zhu Long evolved, Zhou Lu estimated that Xiao Xi was probably the juvenile form of Qiu Dao Mu, which was the ordinary stage without any power.

When Xiaoxi sprouts, it will be the time for it to transform into a first-level spiritual beast.

Of course, Zhou Lu was not qualified to contract a general fairy anyway.

As one of the foundations of the modern beast taming system, you want to contract the offspring of Qiudao Mu. What is your purpose?
Yuan Gensheng is the king of heaven and has two divine beasts in his hands. Those who covet the Qiudao Wood dare not deal with him directly.

If you don't have the ability to undertake it, then don't even think about signing a contract to ask for the Dao Wood.

After restraining his related thoughts, Zhou Lu began to organize the information in his hands.

First of all, you must go to the Leishan Secret Realm.

Even if you don't make a contract with Jiunan Zhulong, it would be great to take it away and take advantage of the system.

These are two Beastmaster skills!

However, this intelligence information only gave the teleportation point, and the specific location was still vague. He was not sure whether he could find the Zhulong egg by going to the secret realm.

In order to avoid making a wasted trip, Zhou Lu also took the opportunity to screen the list of materials needed for the evolution of Fireworks to see which materials could be obtained in the Leishan Secret Realm.

Don't tell me, it's true.

Leishan Crystal, a specialty of the Leishan Secret Realm, is one of the auxiliary materials for the third-level evolution of Fireworks.

Because it is not a necessary material, and there are always people selling it on the market, there is no way to prevent others from obtaining it, so it is not included in the system tasks.

Although Huo Huo still has a long way to go before reaching level 49, which is required to initiate the third-order evolution, this does not prevent Zhou Lu from preparing the materials for her evolution in advance.

Even if there are no materials to collect, Zhou Lu will still find some tasks to do in the Leishan Secret Realm.

He had figured out that Huo Huo's growth point lay in helping himself.

As long as Huo Huo feels that he has helped his master, he will gain a lot of growth.

It was also because of this that Zhou Lu agreed to let Hua Huo take care of his daily life.

It's not that he's lazy!
Everything is for the growth of the spiritual pet~!

Take on more tasks, so that Fireworks can feel the satisfaction of helping its master and realize its self-worth.

This is the path Zhou Lu has found that best suits Huo Huo's growth.

Of course, there is actually a faster way to make Fireworks grow:
He keeps committing suicide, and then lets Hanabi save him.

But Zhou Lu always felt that beast taming was a mutual pursuit between the beastmaster and the spirit pet, and that one should not give up one's own value in order to please the other.

Zhou Lu is not the type of person who always seeks trouble and commits suicide.

Otherwise, he would have achieved financial freedom by taking advantage of the system long ago.

"Hanabi, get ready." After thinking this through, Zhou Lu said to Huahuo who was cleaning up the dishes, "We are going to the secret realm."

"Hey? Are we going to the secret realm again so soon?" Xiao Xi asked curiously, "Where are we going this time?"

"The Secret Realm of Thunder Mountain."

"For the Thunder Mountain Crystal?" Xiao Xi thought of this immediately. "You don't have to go to the secret realm to look for it, right? Although it is indeed a rare material, you can always find it by waiting in the forum. You don't lack credits."

Just as Zhou Lu was about to explain, Xiao Xi asked, "Oh, is it for the Great Thunderbird?"

"Great Thunderbird?"

"Didn't you watch the news? Oh, no, it seems the news hasn't reported it yet... A wild rank 4 Quasi-God Thunderbird appeared in the Thunder Mountain Secret Realm." Xiao Xi said, "Many beast masters have begun to take action."

"Some are to capture the contract."

"Some of them are trying to steal its eggs."

Although the offspring of powerful spirit beasts still need to be raised from scratch, their parents have already proved their limits, so when auctioning these spirit beast eggs or spirit beast cubs, the auction house will specially mark the rank of their parents.
