Chapter 225 Someone Is Going Through a Tribulation! (4K)

Giant octopus with blue stripes, a specialty of the secret island.

Although it was far inferior to those real giants, when Hanabi pulled it up from the sea and looked at the huge octopus that occupied almost the entire deck, everyone fell into a brief silence.

no.

The scenario we imagined was to repel, right?

Why did you just drag the octopus up?

The octopus was also obviously in a state of confusion.

I was just sitting in the sea, so where did this take me? Is this still the sea?

However, Hanabi obviously will not give the octopus sea monster any more time to understand the current situation.

Hanabi, who had already learned many seafood preparation techniques from books and video tutorials, couldn't wait to see such material.

If the ship hadn't been sailing through a storm, it would have cooked a feast on the spot.

Zhou Lu had to stop Huo Huo from sharpening his sword.

At this time, ensuring the safety of the hull is the most important thing.

"This classmate." At this moment, a beastmaster with the badge of Yizhou Beastmaster Academy on his chest ran up to Zhou Lu, "I want to make a contract with this spiritual pet. How many credits are you willing to sell? ?”

Zhou Lu was also slightly startled when he heard the other party's question.

He was completely led astray by Hanabi just now. He subconsciously thought that this big octopus could only be used as food. He had no idea of ​​selling it to other beast masters as spiritual pets.

In fact, similar things are not uncommon in the secret realm.

According to the unspoken rules of everyone in the secret realm, the right to dispose of the spiritual beast belongs to the beast master who defeats it.

Even the villains who tried to rob actually recognized this principle, otherwise they would not choose to rob.

As a sea monster that roams the sea, the blue-striped giant octopus's strength should not be underestimated, but it just happened to meet Hanabi who punished it.

The beast master in front of me was not the only one who had similar thoughts.

After seeing someone get there first, many people turned their heads away with a sigh.

"Yes, yes." Zhou Lu did not refuse. After all, he did not include the blue-striped giant octopus in his contract list.

The deal was struck quickly.

The other party gave Zhou Lu a large sum of credits based on the market price of a third-level spirit beast.

This was a thousand credits. The other party didn't have that many credits, so he had to borrow them on the ship to make up for it.

For him, this debt is definitely heavy, but in exchange for having a third-level spiritual pet at the second-level beastmaster stage, it is definitely worth it!

In fact, this was a conscientious offer given by Zhou Lu without any intention of bargaining.

In fact, as a powerful spiritual pet in the sea, the price of the third-level blue-striped giant octopus may not be capped at two thousand credits in the auction house.

With the conclusion of the beast-controlling contract, the lucky person added the blue-striped giant octopus, which was still in a dazed state, to the beast-controlling card.

Immediately afterwards, he released it from the beast control card and threw it into the sea.

At this moment, the octopus sea monster finally understood his situation.

But when it thought of the terrifying plant sharpening its knife, it suddenly felt that this ending was not so bad.

So he obeyed the orders of his new master and began to escort this lonely boat in the sea wholeheartedly.

With the giant octopus escorting them, they never encountered attacks from sea beasts along the way. The only things they had to face were storms and rough waves on the sea.

Amidst the turbulence, the ship sailed into the harbor of Dongshan Island.

Even if he didn't need anyone else's reminder, Zhou Lu had already seen the Storm Petrel hovering in the sky.

They are indeed the spirits in the storm.

Under such a violent storm, he was still flying freely in the air, as if the strong wind that could break the trees did not exist at all.

Under the swirling storm petrels, the storm on Dongshan Island seems to be more violent.

Raindrops as big as broad beans hit people's faces like pebbles under the influence of wind.

If it weren't for the wet rainwater that could be felt when he touched his face, Zhou Lu would have thought he had been hit by hail.

Hanabi used her rapid growth to quickly weave a mobile canopy around Zhou Lu, thus blocking the heavy rain from the outside.

But even so, just by hearing the sound of rain hitting the awning, Zhou Lu knew that this mission might not be completed.

It's a problem for him to get close to these storm petrels now.

Compared with Zhou Lu's comfort, others in the group were not so lucky.

As soon as they got off the boat, they were warmly received by Da Feng.

Someone had just summoned his spiritual pets in an attempt to resist, but when he turned around, he found that all his spiritual pets had been blown away.

In comparison, Hanabi seems much more stable.

But even it avoided being shaken by strong winds by keeping its roots firmly rooted in the soil.

Fortunately, the safety teacher took action in time and saved a few unlucky guys who were blown away by the wind.

"You want to go in?" One of the teachers looked at Zhou Lu while settling the students and asked, "I'm afraid it will be more dangerous inside. Where is your safety officer?"

"I signed the application and did not ask the safety teacher to follow me." Zhou Lu said, "Don't worry, teacher. I have no problem."

The other party took a deep look at Zhou Lu.

It seems that only third-level students and above can sign this kind of application, right?

From this point of view, I was indeed meddling in my own business.

Looking at the student standing still in the storm, I'm afraid he's not much weaker than me.

With the departure of the security teacher and the students, the harbor, which was just bustling, was suddenly empty again.

Because of the severity of the beast disaster, the people here have been completely evacuated.

It seems that the rewards offered by those big companies are not attractive enough.

Zhou Lu thought in his heart and began to head towards the center of the storm under the protection of Hua Huo.

Dongshan Island is a typical rainforest island, and the entire island is covered with dense forests.

Among them, the three-fruit coconut trees unique to the island secret realm are the most numerous.

Many coconut trees have even transformed into extraordinary and become spirit beasts.

As soon as I arrived in the forest, I entered Hua Huo's home court.

Xiao Caocao very skillfully took out various gifts and greeted the surrounding plants.

But soon, Hua Huo came back in defeat.

Seeing Hua Huo's helpless look, Zhou Lu was also shocked.

Could it be that the plants in the island secret realm have any special hobbies? A grass-type succubus like Hua Huo is actually useless here?

After opening the empathy and sharing the feelings with Hua Huo, Zhou Lu finally understood.

It's not that Hua Huo's charm is gone.

It's that the previous experience made the plants on this island suspicious.

According to Hua Huo, a group of humans dressed as a scientific research expedition team came to this island before.

They deceived the plant spirits and beasts on Dongshan Island on the grounds of helping to protect the island ecology.

It's unknown what these people did on this island.

Not long after, a huge storm rose with Dongshan Island as the center.

It covered the surrounding sea area in an instant.

Although they are used to wind and rain, such strong winds are rare.

Many big trees finally failed to survive and fell in the strong wind.

These plant spirits and beasts felt very close to Hua Huo, but because Hua Huo was accompanied by a human, they did not dare to trust him too much.

There are actually humans involved in this?

Zhou Lu immediately smelled the breath of conspiracy.

Something is wrong, absolutely wrong!

At this moment, Hua Huo seemed to feel something.

The vines rolled up, and a green curtain blocked the front.

Bang!

Boom!

With two loud noises, Hua Huo's vine curtain firmly blocked this attack.

Because the team was attacked, Ben Ben's newly learned damage tracking skill was triggered, and Hua Huo immediately found the source of the attack.

Zhou Lu was about to check the general situation through empathy, but the voice of the system rang in his ears.

[Ding! The host is sensed to be approaching the scene of the tribulation, and the relevant tasks are updated. ]

The scene of the tribulation?

Zhou Lu was stunned when he heard the prompt of the system.

Anyone who has read a little bit of Xiuxian online knows the meaning of this word.

He felt that this matter was strange, but he didn't expect that there would be such a strong explosion behind it.

He has already passed the tribulation, and the other party is definitely not an ordinary immortal.

Zhou Lu immediately became alert in his heart. While telling Hua Huo not to act rashly and passively defend first, he quickly opened the system to check the content of the task, hoping that it would provide him with some information.

[Optional Task: Escort Li Dongze to Escape from the Secret Realm]

[Task Introduction: Li Dongze, the third son of the Xinyue Li family. He was ambushed and killed by Zhou Lu when he broke through the fourth level. Because he failed to leave the secret realm alive, Zhou Lu was able to continue to hide. Save his life and escort him out of the secret realm, so that people can be prepared for Zhou Lu. ]

[Task Reward: 1 self-selected beastmaster skill card, 5 self-selected spirit beast materials]

Zhou Lu took a deep look at the system interface.

Obviously, this guy named Li Dongze is using the storm here to seek a breakthrough.

Xinyue Li family...

It is indeed one of the best super families.

The shadow of their family can be seen in most of the beast control technology industries in the world.

As a former divine beast family, they can still have such a powerful force after the inheritance of divine beasts is cut off, which is enough to show their strength.

Would the descendants of the former divine beast family choose to become immortals?

Zhou Lu was not surprised by this, but just found it a little funny.

While he was talking, the enemy hiding in the distance seemed to be a little impatient.

Unfortunately, his whereabouts were clearly visible to Hua Huo, who had already completed the division arrangement.

Hua Huo had locked onto the other party and was just waiting for Zhou Lu's order.

"Catch one first." Zhou Lu did not hesitate for too long and gave Hua Huo a straightforward order.

Hua Huo's actions were also quick.

The other party did not even have time to react before he was poisoned by the vines that suddenly appeared behind him and fainted.

"Caught!" Hua Huo said in a patchwork voice.

Being caught so easily means that the other party is not Li Dongze.

Li Dongze is a half-step quasi-god, and he should not be knocked down directly by such an attack.

The fact is just as Zhou Lu guessed.

The other party is indeed an immortal, but definitely not Li Dongze.

While Hua Huo stood on the other party to absorb power, Zhou Lu quickly looked through the other party's personal belongings.

There was nothing valuable, not even an ID card.

Zhou Lu had no choice but to take out a black inscription mushroom.

The inscription on this mushroom tablet recorded the skills of Death Nightmare.

Zhou Lu had to persuade Death Nightmare to use the skill of dreaming on him.

Crushing the mushroom, the skills recorded in it were activated, and Zhou Lu successfully entered the other party's dream.

People who have not received professional training have no defense against Zhou Lu's inquiries in the dream.

From the other party's mouth, Zhou Lu confirmed the existence of Li Dongze on the island.

This at least proves that the system is not talking nonsense.

So, under Zhou Lu's detailed inquiries, Li Dongze's plan appeared clearly in front of Zhou Lu.

The storm that swept the entire safe zone was not caused by those storm petrels. The real reason was the formation arranged by Li Dongze on Dongshan Island.

The formation called the Four Seas Thunder Wind Destruction Formation is one of the tribulation formations of the ancient sect Benleimen.

As a gate formation of a powerful immortal sect, it does have its unique features.

Although it requires a lot of energy to supply energy, this formation has objectively focused everyone's attention on the storm petrels and the storm, and few people will notice the immortal who took advantage of the storm to cross the tribulation and break through.

Li Dongze has already begun to prepare for this tribulation breakthrough.

Considering the noise during the tribulation, a storm similar to it is definitely the best cover.

But although the island secret realm often has similar weather, there must be a reason for the storm that lasted for nearly a month.

So, the Storm Petrel, which originally had similar abilities, was chosen by Li Dongze as the scapegoat.

And as the plan was implemented later, they found that there were unexpected gains.

Since the population of ordinary Storm Petrels

is not capable of causing such a scene, people naturally wonder if there are true god-like individuals among this group of petrels.

But the evolution process of the Storm Petrel is fully archived here.

This kind of spirit beast is also a typical spirit beast that has broken through the natural theoretical upper limit due to the research of human beast masters.

If the Storm Petrel wants to evolve to the fourth level or even the fifth level, it needs materials unique to other secret realms.

In the natural island secret environment, it is impossible for the fourth and fifth level Storm Petrels to appear.

So naturally, people began to suspect whether the divine beast petrel in the Rongjunyuan was involved in this matter.

As an immortal, even though his family was once a family of divine beasts, Li Dongze still hated the existence of Rongjunyuan.

If the divine beast Haiyan is no longer trusted by humans and is abandoned because of this incident, it would be the best thing.

The skills of the nightmare of death are indeed useful.

In such a short time, Zhou Lu has roughly understood the opponent's general plan and process.

He even saw the solution to the formation under his feet.

That is... Zhou Lu reviewed the formation in his mind, and then looked at the towering trees around him, and suddenly got a headache.

The theoretical map is a theoretical map. Now he is in the forest and has no way to overlook the island. He can't find the veins of the formation at all.

When Zhou Lu was having a headache, Hua Huo was preparing lunch on the side.

Xiao Caocao wanted to open the coconut in front of him.

But he couldn't find a handy tool.

Fortunately, its roots wanted to touch a hard object.

Hua Huo dug it out without hesitation.

It is indeed a handy tool.

A hard white jade pearl.

The moment Hua Huo dug out the white jade pearl from the ground, the entire sky seemed to be hit in half by something and suddenly cracked.

The bright sunlight slanted down from the cracks in the clouds.

The storm seemed to have stopped...
