My beast can't be a demon.

Chapter 9: Fireworks' Attack Methods

Hanabi is a fast learner.

By night, it had mastered this method of movement and had increased its speed to the speed of a normal person walking.

This has a lot to do with the [Carrying] skill it borrowed from the Flying Jade Bee. If it weren't for the blessing of this skill, ordinary plant vines would not be able to support the weight of the flowerpot and the plant itself, and naturally would not be able to achieve the effect of walking.

Zhou Lu estimated that if Hua Huo's physical strength was higher, her walking speed would be even faster.

Fireworks was very excited after learning how to walk. She ran around the room, trying to leave traces of her walking in every corner of the room.

Because of the characteristics of the [Walking] skill, Hanabi can walk on any plane, leaving traces of her walking on the ground, walls and even the ceiling.

Zhou Lu looked at the fireworks running all over the room, and suddenly he felt like SpongeBob had a snail at home.

However, even if Hanabi learned to walk, it would not be very useful for his combat exam. If he wanted to perform well in the exam, he needed more useful skills.

He still had three fairy coins in his hand, which could be exchanged for a few new skills. However, the advantage of universal skills was that they were easy to learn, but the disadvantage was that they were applicable to all spirit beasts that met the requirements, and their attribute bonuses were very ordinary.

This defect is not very obvious in skills without bonuses such as [Stem Walking] and [Crazy Growth].

But attack skills are different, the difference in attributes can sometimes be huge.

Because of this, many beastmasters who are dedicated to combat prefer to let spirit beasts learn attack skills on their own, but this is too much of a test on the spirit beasts' comprehension. Even with someone's guidance, it is not so easy for them to learn skills.

Such skills acquired through self-realization or learning are often more in line with the physique and attributes of the spirit beast, and therefore have a higher bonus. Because they cannot be directly taught, they are called inherent skills.

Some skills of spirit beasts will be transformed into inherent skills when they reach a certain level of proficiency, and will be reflected on the beast taming card.

Zhou Lu estimated that once Hua Huo practiced walking to a certain level, she might be able to develop a skill.

The racial skills that spirit beasts possess, the inherent skills acquired through learning, and the common skills acquired through exchange from general fairies, constitute almost all of the skill systems of spirit beasts in the beast taming system.

Thinking of this, Zhou Lu slowly gave up the idea of ​​exchanging skills. Fairy coins are very scarce and should be used in the most useful places.

Attack skills still need other means to obtain.

How about... putting Hua Huo in the place where the seniors were training spirit beasts? See if we can do the same as the time with Fei Yu Feng, and let Hua Huo use [Absorb] to gain more skills by fighting with weaker spirit beasts.

However, the probability of obtaining permanent skills through [Absorb] is very low, and this method is too dependent on luck.

By the way...there seems to be a system reward.

Zhou Lu suddenly remembered that after feeding Wu Xiaoqing mushrooms, the system gave him 90% of the task reward.

The reward for killing Wu Xiaoqing is a random permanent skill card for a spirit beast, and an A-level skill pool. I don’t know what the 90% reward is.

Thinking of this, Zhou Lu opened the system and saw: Three Spirit Beast Random Permanent Skill Cards (Grade B)
What the hell!

The moment he saw the reward, Zhou Lu was shocked. This was a B-level skill, and there were three of them. For most people in this world, it was a windfall.

It's a pity that Huo Huo is currently unable to learn the B-level skills that require at least the second level to learn, but with these three random B-level skill cards in hand, Zhou Lu has more confidence about the future.

The system's mission rewards are so generous. If this system falls into the hands of others, his relatives and friends will probably suffer a devastating blow.

Fortunately, the system fell into his hands.

Although the system rewards are very tempting, Zhou Lu will not do anything that would destroy his foundation.

Since it offers such a price as a reward for the lives of its relatives and friends, then their value to itself is definitely far greater than the system's reward.

After taking a few deep breaths, Zhou Lu was just about to calm himself down, but the next second a loud noise was heard beside him.

As the flowerpot fragments flew, Zhou Lu looked helplessly at Hua Huo who was lying on the ground again.

This time, it wasn’t about wrestling.

Looking at the marks on the wall caused by the flowerpot, Zhou Lu began to analyze in his mind.

Judging from the movement of the firework, it was pulled away by something and hit the wall hard. He raised his hand and touched the tiny dent on the wall.

This force is quite strong.

Taking out a new flowerpot and settling the aggrieved Hua Huo again, Zhou Lu touched the new bud of Hua Huo and asked, "What happened?"

Fireworks danced with its leaves, trying to explain to Zhou Lu, but seeing that Zhou Lu didn't quite understand, it grew vines and gestured there randomly.

Zhou Lu naturally couldn't understand what was being said, and Hua Huo's emotions were also in a mess.

An idea suddenly occurred to Hua Huo. Since the explanation didn't make sense, she decided to reproduce the process again!

So Huahuo used its vines to guide Zhou Lu to stand aside, and then it retreated backwards.

However, in the process of moving forward, Huo Huo forgot to retract one of its walking stems, and it stretched out into the distance.

Snap! Hua Huo slapped the leaves, signaling Zhou Lu to look.

The next second, it withdrew the growth bonus granted by [Crazy Growth] on the running stem, and the entire running stem returned to its original form.

At this moment, Hanabi's entire body was pulled into the air due to the retraction of the stem.

It released the stem's initial attachment point in mid-air, causing its body to fly rapidly toward the wall.

boom!
The flowerpot smashed firmly against the wall, and as the flowerpot broke, Huo Huo fell to the ground as before.

The whole process went so smoothly that Zhou Lu was stunned.

Hua Huo raised her head and saw Zhou Lu standing there in a daze. Thinking that her master still didn't understand the process, she stretched out her vines to get a new flowerpot from the table, sat in it skillfully, and repeated the process from last time.

boom!
Hanabi lay on the ground for the third time.

It raised its new buds, pointed them toward Zhou Lu, and then stretched out its vines again.

"No need! No need!" Zhou Lu hurriedly stopped him. If he continued like this, the flower pot would be smashed by the fireworks. "I understand what happened. There's no need to demonstrate again."

Only then did Hanabi sit down in the flowerpot contentedly.

But this time it refused to leave and flapped its leaves, insisting that Zhou Lu hold it.

Zhou Lu hugged Hua Huo, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, but he had other ideas in his mind.

The building materials here are all top-quality. Even with such low-quality flower pots, fireworks can leave marks on the wall in this way. If they are replaced with more solid materials, will they cause more damage?
If I remember correctly, there seems to be a head-butting skill among the spirit beast skills.

Why not let Hanabi practice this skill!

Just as Zhou Lu was thinking, there was a knock on the door.

Zhou Lu opened the door curiously.

A little goblin in pajamas was flying in the air with his hands on his hips, shouting angrily: "Why are you smashing the wall so late at night! Don't you know I have to go to bed on time? This is the key to germination!"

"Teacher Xiaoxi?" Zhou Lu was stunned when he saw the little goblin.

Hearing the familiar voice, Xiao Xi looked inside the door: "Hey? Zhou..."

Before she could finish her words, a vine entangled her slender waist.

In a flash, Xiao Xi was pulled away from where she was.

Hanabi angrily waved Xiao Xi on the vine.

Knocking on the door at night, trying to do something wrong!
I want to protect my master!
