Chapter 224 Going Out to Sea in Heavy Rain (4K)

Hua Huo was looking forward to this trip to the island.

She even started to learn swimming under Ben Ben's guidance.

No... Why can an egg teach a grass to swim?

Zhou Lu looked at the strange scene in the bathtub and was powerless to complain.

While talking, Hua Huo, who had wiped herself clean, lay down beside Zhou Lu's table.

Zhou Lu knew what it was thinking without looking at the expression of the little grass.

"Wait until I finish writing these applications." Zhou Lu raised his hand and rubbed Hua Huo's hat and said.

All the forms in his hand were related applications for going to Xinyue Beastmaster College next year.

The process of exchange learning is more troublesome than he imagined.

It involves the handover of relevant information such as credits and student status.

Although the official has intended to balance the educational level between the various beastmaster colleges, because the beastmaster colleges are good at different fields, even the credits of the same value actually have subtle differences in value in different beastmaster colleges.

This difference is more like the prices of different cities.

Fortunately, this is nothing to Zhou Lu. As long as there are tasks, he has plenty of time to earn credits.

After filling out the form, Zhou Lu planned to officially start the last secret exploration in Xin'an Beast Taming Academy this year.

Looking at the time, it is already December.

Next year, I will probably start a one-year life in Xinyuezhou.

"Okay, let's go!"

The next morning, Zhou Lu weighed his backpack and said to Huahuo and Benben in the room.

Huahuo ran over excitedly, with a coat wrapped on the vines.

This is the down jacket that Zhou Lu bought for Huahuo to keep its body temperature because he saw that Huahuo was so afraid of the cold.

After putting it on, Huahuo suddenly looked a little bloated.

However, the pink clothes did not look abrupt on it.

Because there was a beast disaster in the island secret, not many beast masters went there.

Zhou Lu paid the credits.

This time he did not ask the safety teacher to accompany him.

The staff was a little surprised by this. It was the first time she saw someone go to the safe zone and take the initiative to not ask for a safety teacher.

Her first reaction was to tell Zhou Lu that this was not allowed.

Zhou Lu had long guessed that this would happen.

If a rule is rarely used, it will be forgotten over time.

Zhou Lu had always thought that a safety teacher must be equipped when entering the safe zone.

So later, in order to ensure that the secret of Hua Huo was not leaked, he did not accept tasks from the safe zone several times.

Although Hua Huo has a permanent mimicry image, it is not certain that the safety teacher has any spirit beast that can see through the disguise.

Zhou Lu had to take out the safe zone management rules and pointed out the relevant regulations to the staff.

If necessary, if the student submits an application, the safety teacher can be refused to follow.

However, the process is relatively troublesome.

But before coming, Zhou Lu had actually gone through almost all the procedures that the school needed to go through.

He can be said to have spent these days filling out forms.

Fortunately, such an application only needs to be filled out once, even if he arrives in Fengzhou, he can act alone in the safe zone.

Soon, the staff of the Explorers Association completed the application registration for Zhou Lu.

This time, he can finally enter the secret realm.

Standing in front of the secret realm gate, Hua Huo seemed particularly excited.

Sunshine! Beach! Fish!

Hua Huo swayed excitedly, looking forward to these wonderful scenery in the island secret realm.

However...

The cold and violent raindrops hit the leaves of Hua Huo, making a crackling sound.

The dark clouds in the sky were low, as if they were within reach.

Looking around, it was all pouring rain, and there was no end in sight.

Hua Huo looked at everything in front of him stupidly.

Zhou Lu took out a folding umbrella from his backpack and opened it with a snap.

"I should have guessed it a long time ago." Zhou Lu was not surprised by the scene in front of him.

The naming of the spirit beasts in this world has never been random.

There must be a reason why the Storm Petrel got this name.

However, if there is only a third-level Storm Petrel, it should not be able to do this kind of environmental interference on a large scale, right?

Could it be that I really have bad luck?

Zhou Lu thought so, and walked towards the nearest safe zone gathering point with a somewhat depressed Hua Huo.

No matter what the reason for this rainstorm, he dared not go out to sea in this weather.

Even if he was a quasi-god, he would only do such things that interfere with the environment after being prepared to pay the price.

It couldn't be that the storm petrel in the Rongjunyuan came to support its compatriots, right?

It was quiet all the way, with only the sound of rain hitting the umbrella.

Fortunately, even if the temperature dropped due to the rainstorm, the temperature here was suitable.

This slightly comforted Hua Huo's broken heart.

The gathering point was not far from the transmission node, and Zhou Lu arrived here in a short while.

The beast masters who could not go out to sea due to the heavy rain gathered here at this time, which seemed a little overcrowded.

In other secret realms, due to the characteristics of the safe zone, the beast masters in such gathering points are basically students.

But the island secret realm is a little different.

Since the sea occupies most of the area of ​​the secret realm, both humans and birds and beasts can only stay and rest on a few islands.

There are few islands. If they are occupied by the safe zone and other people are not allowed to enter, there will be many problems.

The island secret realm is the main source of fish in the real world.

Many large companies' industries here are mainly fishing and breeding.

Both of them need land as a supply station, and it is best to have land close to the transmission node.

When Zhou Lu came to the nearest hotel, many fishermen who could not go out to sea due to heavy rain gathered in the lobby of the hotel.

(Due to the characteristics of the secret realm, even fishermen are beast masters.)

Zhou Lu stayed beside them for a while and happened to hear them discussing the matter of the storm petrels there.

"That group of birds is now occupying Dongshan Island." One of the fishermen said.

"Really, if they keep making trouble like this, I will lose money this year. I bought the boat with a loan."

Dongshan Island?

Zhou Lu muttered silently in his heart.

It's not far from here, let's go there and take a look.

If the problem of the storm petrel is solved, maybe we can see the sunny day.

Zhou Lu spent credits on this trip.

He didn't want to make a wasted trip.

What's more, there is Xiao Xi's task on him.

Zhou Lu thought so and took Hua Huo back on the road.

Xiao Cao Cao ran back at Zhou Lu's call.

The vine seemed to be wrapped with something.

A closer look showed that it bought some snacks from the boss while Zhou Lu went to inquire about the situation.

It looks like fried fish or something like that...

*****

Zhou Lu stood on the beach, looking at the surging sea in the storm, and his heart was confused.

Damn... I forgot...

The safety zone of the secret island is also connected to one island after another.

Even if Dongshan Island is also an island in the safety zone, if you want to go there, you need to cross the sea.

But in this kind of weather... how to cross the sea?

Hua Huo raised the leaf.

"No." Before Hua Huo could make a sound, Zhou Lu directly refused, "You'd better forget about swimming over there with me on your back..."

Hua Huo lowered his head in disappointment.

That day, there was no sign of the rain stopping for a while.

I can't go back and wait for the rain to stop before going out to sea, right? Then when will I have to wait? Don't let the time in the secret realm be wasted by then.

Zhou Lu thought so, and suddenly heard a sound from a distance.

When he got closer, he saw a group of beastmasters preparing to go out to sea.

"This senior." Zhou Lu saw the badge of Xin'an Beastmaster Academy on the chest of one of them, and immediately stepped forward to say hello.

The other party didn't know Zhou Lu. He should be the kind of student who spent all day in the secret realm to improve his strength and rarely cared about campus dynamics.

But after seeing the badge of the same school on Zhou Lu's chest, the other party was very friendly.

"Hello, junior." The other party looked at Zhou Lu.

"Senior, are you planning to go out to sea in a rainstorm?" Zhou Lu asked, looking at the boats that were already stored at the dock.

The senior said, "Yes. If we don't go out to sea, this trip will be in vain."

It turned out that this senior entered the safety zone five days ago.

If there is no gain in the next two days, it means that he has wasted ten credits in vain.

Hearing the senior's description, Zhou Lu's heart skipped a beat.

It has rained for at least five consecutive days.

It is also unknown when it will stop.

"It will be very dangerous to go out to sea in this weather."

"So we gathered a few people." The senior said with a smile, "Even if we really encounter danger, the safety teacher will save us."

Zhou Lu's mouth twitched slightly when he heard the senior's words.

Relying on their bodyguards, they dare to be casual?

These students probably don't know the horror of nature at all.

Don't they really think that the safety teacher is invincible?

Looking at the helpless and speechless expressions of the safety teachers not far away, Zhou Lu had to admire their professionalism.

Knowing the danger, they still come to protect their students.

Even if he got a share of the credits, this level of dedication is nothing.

"Can I take a ride on the boat? I plan to go to Dongshan Island."

"Dongshan Island?" The senior looked at Zhou Lu suspiciously, "Are you going to do the mission of Storm Petrel?"

"The mission of Storm Petrel?"

"Yes, it's a mission jointly offered by several large companies. Any Storm Petrel can be exchanged for a generous reward in their office."

There must be a brave man under a heavy reward. It is obvious that the conflict between the large companies and the Storm Petrel has come to the surface.

On one side is the continuous rainstorm, and on the other side is a high reward.

But is it really worth it?

Zhou Lu just smiled at this question.

The senior seemed to understand Zhou Lu's meaning and said, "It just so happens that there are several people on our ship who are going to Dongshan Island to do this mission."

As he said that, the senior pointed to several people in the fleet.

These are all beast masters who came for the mission of hunting Storm Petrel on Dongshan Island.

They may not be powerful beast masters.

But the population of Storm Petrels is not just made up of powerful spirit beasts.

Zhou Lu was thinking while observing the configuration of these beast masters.

It must be said that although it was a fleet formed temporarily, there was still some wonderful cooperation between their respective pets.

Some were responsible for strengthening the hull, some were responsible for changing the wind direction, and some were responsible for changing the water flow.

There were also several that could provide short-term shields for the ship.

All members could play a role in the voyage.

Although the senior also wanted to agree to Zhou Lu's joining directly, this was a team after all.

Fortunately, Huahuo quickly demonstrated its value with its vines.

Today, Xiaocaocao can wrap vine armor with vines on any object.

After being wrapped in vine armor, the strength of the ship's hull was also greatly improved.

Huahuo also left a few leaves on the underwater vine armor, which could be used to change direction when necessary.

After thinking that they had made full preparations, the ship set sail.

At the moment of sailing, a big wave hit the hull.

Fortunately, with the efforts of the pets, the hull quickly stabilized.

Under the dim sky, the sea in front of him seemed to have become a terrifying dark purgatory, trying to swallow up all intruders without permission.

After driving forward for a while, Zhou Lu saw several broken ships floating on the sea.

"They are ships that sank in the storm when they forced their way out to sea." The senior introduced.

Obviously, the senior and his party were not the first group of people who tried to force their way out to sea.

In fact, it was precisely because the adventurers in front of them, even if they failed in the end, finally left the secret realm safely under the protection of the safety teacher.

This should be the reason why these people are so bold.

When there are no consequences in sight for death, it is no longer a death wish, and people will tend to try more and more.

However, the risks in the era of beast control have never been more than just the environment.

Accompanied by a huge wave, the hull began to shake again,

but along with this shaking, there were also several huge and thick tentacles.

"Not good! It's a giant blue-striped octopus!" Someone shouted in horror after identifying the tentacles.

While speaking, many pets have begun to attack the tentacles.

However, how could the blue-striped octopus, which had waited for several days and finally got its food, miss this delicious delicacy?

However, when it was about to take a bite, it suddenly found that it could not chew the boat at all.

The protective net woven by the green vines covering its body seemed to have unimaginable toughness.

Why is this thing so strong?

When the blue-striped giant octopus was puzzled, it found that several green vines stretched out from the sides of the boat and began to climb and grow along its tentacles.

In just a moment, the blue-striped giant octopus felt that it was firmly bound.

Fireworks was very excited facing the sea breeze.

Hehe! Your tentacles are not as beautiful as mine!

Fireworks thought so, and the leaves were raised high.

Accompanied by a huge and brutal force, the vines actually wrapped around the blue-striped giant octopus and lifted it high from under the water.

The vines held the octopus and paused in the air for a while.

The beastmaster on the ship was also experienced.

"Make room! It's going to throw the octopus up!"

As soon as the beastmaster and the spirit pets made room, Hua Huo threw the blue-striped octopus up.
