Chapter 223: Beast Disaster in the Secret Island
"Beast disaster?" Zhou Lu's eyes lit up immediately, "Then I have to go even more."
The so-called beast disaster is actually a phenomenon in which the number of spirit beasts of a certain population or several populations in the secret realm increases abnormally and begins to move on a large scale.
The locust plague is one of the most typical "beast disasters".
Every time a beast disaster occurs, there will always be a large population of spirit pets.
When the strength is sufficient, this is actually a good thing for Hua Huo.
Xiao Xi saw Zhou Lu's excitement and patted his forehead: "Oh, I forgot that you are already level three."
Hua Huo's daily form is still the appearance of a good and bad boy, which makes Xiao Xi always subconsciously regard Hua Huo as a second-level spirit pet.
"Speaking of which, you are already level three, have you not considered taking the B-level exploration certificate?" Xiao Xi suddenly asked.
"I have this plan." Zhou Lu did not forget about it, but there are too many things recently. "After this wave of Hua Huo is familiar with the power of the third level, I will go to take the certificate."
"That's great." Xiao Xi clapped her hands.
"I'm going to investigate, what are you happy about?"
"Hehe, there are many strange phenomena in those B-level secret realms, and I have never found the right people to investigate."
"..." Zhou Lu's mouth twitched slightly when he heard the news, "I am not the only third-level beastmaster in the academy."
"But you are the only one who is trustworthy." Xiao Xi looked at Zhou Lu deeply, "All these strange phenomena I have accumulated are related to immortals. If I arrange them for other beastmasters, I am really worried that they will be bewitched by those demon cultivators."
Zhou Lu looked at Xiao Xi unexpectedly.
"Don't look at me like that." Xiao Xi said, "You now have the ability to know these things."
"Third-level, it's really different." Zhou Lu complained with relief.
"But don't think that it's easy to solve these anomalies just because you have strength." Xiao Xi flew half a circle around Zhou Lu and stopped in front of Zhou Lu. "Most of them are ancient sealed demons. Although time has worn away most of their power, they are still demons that bewitch people..."
"Why should I listen to them?"
"Ah?"
"I just simply want their bodies." Zhou Lu told the truth.
"What you said...why is it weird..." Xiao Xi curled her lips.
But it seems that there is nothing wrong.
In the eyes of Hua Huo, immortals are indeed the best fertilizer for flowers.
"So, tell me in detail about the beast disaster in the secret island this time." Zhou Lu asked immediately, "It's best not to charge."
Xiao Xi was also straightforward: "You accepted the task of solving the beast disaster, and the information is free."
Zhou Lu nodded.
So Xiao Xi told what happened in the secret island.
"Actually, it's not quite accurate to call it a beast disaster." Xiao Xi said to Zhou Lu, "You should know that every secret realm has a safe zone."
"This beast disaster is essentially because humans have established safe zones and occupied the habitats of other species."
It turns out that the main cause of this beast disaster is a group of bird spirits called Storm Petrels.
Storm Petrels have the habit of migrating, and this migration is different from that of migratory birds. They often return to their original habitat after several years.
And this group of petrels has been out for decades, so humans thought they occupied an ordinary island and didn't realize that this was the habitat of Storm Petrels.
"Even if this is the case, it won't become a beast disaster, right? Similar things have happened before."
"The past was the past, and now is now." Xiao Xi casually said a "famous saying", "In the past, when encountering similar things, humans would have a professional division of labor to appease the rioting spirit beasts, and then according to the actual situation, either relocate the safe zone or arrange the spirit beasts to a new habitat."
"But now you humans don't have so much patience." Xiao Xi said, and didn't forget to smile contemptuously, "Although you shout about environmental protection, you are becoming more and more ruthless to wild spirit beasts."
"The safety zone of the secret island involves the interests of several large ocean-going companies."
"In their eyes, these petrels are nothing at all, just eliminate them directly."
Xiao Xi said, also helpless Spreading his hands, he said, "So, their first reaction when they found out that this group of petrels had returned to their nests was to send a large number of beastmasters to destroy them."
"Who knew that this group of petrels seemed to have some special status in that secret island, which directly caused all the bird spirits in the secret realm to enter a violent state."
"Because of the brutal attack of humans at the beginning, these spirits did not believe in humans at all, and wanted to use violence to drive humans out of their habitats, which led to the current beast disaster."
"..." Zhou Lu was silent for a while, then asked, "So what is my mission? Kill all those petrels?"
Xiao Xi rolled her eyes at Zhou Lu and said, "If the petrel in the Rongjunyuan knew what you said, it would definitely peck your head off."
Zhou Lu suddenly realized.
With the current human force, it would be a piece of cake to exterminate a population.
Just like the little tits in the secret mountain and river, developing a special attack bacteria is enough to destroy a large population in an instant.
Big companies are ruthless, and are even more ruthless when it comes to things that touch their own interests.
As for the mass killing of wild spirit beasts?
This kind of thing is nothing to the consortium that controls the media.
Cover up?
Too low-level!
The media they control can report this incident, and then slightly distort the cause and effect, which is enough to portray these petrels as ferocious beasts that maliciously attack humans.
The reason why these big companies failed to do so is entirely because there is a true god-level storm petrel in the Invalids.
Birds are very vengeful.
Ordinary birds will peck you a few times when they are vengeful, and at most they will shit on your head.
If the birds of the true gods are vengeful, then your entire family will wait.
If it is not a killing mission, Zhou Lu will be relieved.
Speaking of which...
The storm petrel seems to be very suitable for use as a mount.
They fly very fast, almost the top batch among bird spirit beasts.
At the same time, their strength is also good, and those above the third level even have the ability to change local weather.
It is said that the fifth-level true god storm petrel can make the whole world fall into continuous rainstorms.
Zhou Lu is now at the third level, so it's time to consider the third pet.
His original plan was to contract a mount pet.
In this way, Storm Petrel is indeed a good choice.
Then let's go there and investigate.
As they were talking, Hua Huo came out of Zhou Lu's room with "sleepy eyes".
Maybe because she was curled up in the cup, Hua Huo's leaf skirt was wrinkled and even lifted up.
Xiao Xi saw Hua Huo's appearance and her pupils trembled.
Then she looked at Zhou Lu in horror.
"I said...you..."
Just as Zhou Lu was about to speak, Xiao Xi flew back to her room.
Bang!
The small door was closed with all her strength.
"Fuck! What did you misunderstand!"
