Chapter 247 Rapid Growth
The strength of these demon cultivators suppressed by the old ancestor Yao Yue has been greatly reduced.
But they were once powerful demon cultivators. Even though they are now only the remnants of their souls, they should not be underestimated.
After Zhou Lu dealt with the first demon cultivator, he asked Yu Xin and Yu Yanyan to be on alert.
After a while, the group encountered the second demon cultivator.
This time, the other party did not talk nonsense at all and tried to sneak attack and seize the body.
Unfortunately, Bai Mengjun blocked the other party's seizure.
As a mushroom grows vigorously, his existence is also sensed by Zhou Lu.
Hua Huo directly used the leaves of the flying ramet to sense and find the other party's position.
This time, Xiao Caocao was more straightforward and ate the other party with the insect catcher on his tail.
Yu Xin looked at Hua Huo, who seemed to be chewing something, and immediately understood that there was some hidden enemy here.
Zhou Lu did not explain much: "Leave the enemies here to me, you look around to see if there is anything worth collecting."
You really don't say it.
As a cell for holding demon cultivators, there are many good things in the ruins of the Yaoyue Sect.
Some of them are natural treasures that have grown from absorbing the energy of immortals for more than a thousand years, and some are simply the magic weapons of these demon cultivators.
As one of the strongest immortals, Yaoyue Patriarch naturally looked down on these magic weapons, so he just threw them here.
Beastmasters also have props.
Unfortunately, many of the immortals' magic weapons are not compatible with beastmasters.
But fortunately, many people in the real world will spend a lot of money to buy these magic weapons at auction.
Some are simply collected by rich men.
But Zhou Lu also thinks that there may be some hidden immortals who come to pick up bargains.
After all, these magic weapons that cannot be used by beastmasters are generally not sold at high prices.
Just by collecting these materials and magic weapons, Yu Xin has returned with a full load.
This cell has obvious layers.
The layer where the group is located should be the weakest layer in overall strength.
All that appeared in front of Hua Huo were broken souls of cultivators.
This was caused by the immortal souls being unable to resist the passage of time when hungry.
Zhou Lu also gradually found the pattern.
Along the way, they saw many spells with words written on the wall.
Each spell in it represented a sealed demon cultivator.
And there were thirty-three spells in this layer.
But in fact, Zhou Lu only encountered three or four.
After absorbing the memories from these unlucky guys eaten by Hua Huo, Zhou Lu also roughly understood the general situation of this cell.
This relic once imprisoned countless demon cultivators at its peak. Just in this simplest layer, there were as many as 123 demon cultivators permanently sealed here.
However, with the death of the Yaoyue Patriarch by the beastmaster at the time in the war to destroy the immortals, the entire Yaoyue Sect collapsed directly.
Although the Yaoyue Patriarch sealed these bastard demon cultivators, he never stopped feeding them.
In order to keep the food in the best taste and effect, he would continue to send enough food to the criminals in this cage.
Unfortunately, the ancestor Yao Yue died.
After his death, this place was quickly forgotten.
Unable to get rid of the powerful seal, the hunger in the depths of their souls made them almost crazy.
Yes. Even if the physical essence was destroyed, the immortals could not restrain their own horrible desires.
So, these demon cultivators turned their eyes to the demon cultivators who were in prison with them.
In those days, this place could be regarded as a mess, and the hungry demon cultivators stretched their claws to these former cellmates who boasted together.
With the passage of more than a thousand years, most of the demon cultivators on each floor of this cell have died in their own civil wars.
Those who can survive in this situation are either extremely powerful or extremely capable.
Otherwise, with the strength of the immortals' souls, just more than a thousand years is not enough for most of the demon cultivators to die naturally.
According to the memories left by the previous demon cultivators, the further down you go, the stronger the sealed demon cultivators become.
Considering the background of the millennium, the surviving demon cultivators, even if only their souls are left, are definitely not to be underestimated.
The demon cultivators on the first floor are about the second level, so it is very easy for Hua Huo to deal with them.
Soon, under the guidance of Yueya, Zhou Lu found the entrance to the next floor.
At this moment, Yu Xin and Yu Yanyan have basically determined that Zhou Lu is the backbone of this team.
They chose to fully trust Zhou Lu's judgment.
They followed Zhou Lu down to the second floor without hesitation.
As soon as he arrived here, Zhou Lu felt something was obviously wrong.
This place is obviously colder than the previous floor.
"Be careful, I feel something is wrong." Yu Xin felt a hint of danger.
Her intuition has always been very accurate, so she decisively summoned all her followers to protect the three people present.
At the same time, Zhou Lu summoned Benben who was recuperating.
Let Benben activate the taunt skill, and then be held high by Hanabi and wander around this level of the ruins.
As long as someone has the desire to attack him or Hanabi, the opponent will definitely attack at all costs.
This is actually true.
It took Benben only a short while to appear, and there were obvious signs of being attacked on its surface.
The opponent's strength is good, and he can shake the surface of Benben.
Unfortunately, such strength is not enough to cause real damage to Benben.
Zhou Lu estimated in his heart that the opponent probably has the ability of the early third level.
Is the second level actually the strength of the third level?
Zhou Lu hesitated in his heart, but his hands did not relax for a moment.
Before leaving, Zhou Lu drew all the skill cards he had saved.
Many of the skills that were not suitable for Fireworks were learned by Benben.
It must be said that the more skills you know, the more likely Benben is to save his life in front of the enemy.
And this time, the skill displayed by Benben is to mark the source of the attack after being attacked and keep it in a visible state.
The opponent's attack obviously triggered Benben's skill, and his position was directly located.
He is worthy of being a demon cultivator who can cause trouble to one side, and his reaction is really fast.
Almost at the moment when Benben was revealed, he directly attacked Zhou Lu.
The biggest weakness of the beastmaster system is the beastmaster!
Zhou Lu smiled when he saw the demon cultivator's soul rushing over.
Then he punched the other person in the face without hesitation.
Haha, idiot.
Who uses fists to deal with souls!
However, in the next second, the unlucky demon cultivator was knocked out.
Then he fell into the insect trap of Hua Huo.
Ordinary people have no means to attack souls, so when facing such a powerful ghost, Yu Xin's first reaction is to escape.
While his team has not suffered losses from the opponent's attack, it is better to leave here quickly.
Otherwise, he will just stand there and get beaten in vain.
But before Yu Xin conveyed the words of retreat, he saw Zhou Lu directly kill a ghost with three punches.
What the hell? What's going on?
When did the human body become so strong?
Yu Xin was shocked.
And how did Zhou Lu have the ability to cause damage to ghost individuals?
This is thanks to Bai Mengjun.
While helping Zhou Lu and his team resist the possession, it also gave them the ability to touch ghost creatures.
As for physical fitness, this is probably impossible for outsiders to replicate.
Zhou Lu used to activate the [Returning] skill every day when he had the chance, so that he could get some attributes from Hua Huo.
Because of the blessing of Benben's racial skill [Dragon Talisman], Benben can make it or its teammates gain some permanent attribute enhancement every day.
After so many days of persistence, coupled with the rapid improvement of Hua Huo's attributes later, Zhou Lu's body has also possessed impressive strength.
Beastmaster, as expected, still takes preserving oneself as the first priority, either trying every means to survive from the enemy, or killing the enemy.
With this idea in mind, Zhou Lu led his team to continue moving forward.
After seeing Zhou Lu defeat the enemy, Yu Xin and Yu Yanyan also gave up the idea of adding trouble.
Their pets do not have the ability to cause damage to ghosts. Instead of releasing skills to injure teammates, it is better not to add trouble.
Yu Xin quickly found her position: that is to protect Zhou Lu.
Yu Yanyan summoned her auxiliary spirit pet to treat and buff Hua Huo.
Although Zhou Lu felt that he didn't need this kind of thing at the current level, it's better to be prepared for everything.
Following the same approach, Zhou Lu easily cleared the next two levels.
The enemies on these two levels are not as strong as Hua Huo in overall strength.
Zhou Lu couldn't help but say that he was a little worried. After all, if these demon cultivators really come together, it will definitely be a huge pressure for Hua Huo.
Fortunately, the crazy internal devouring over the years has made them hostile to each other, and they didn't come together at the first time.
This gave Hua Huo a good opportunity to defeat them one by one.
"Okay." Zhou Lu stopped at the entrance of the latest level, "The next level is too dangerous, and I don't have the confidence to protect your safety. It's better for you not to go in."
Facing Zhou Lu's words, Yu Xin was not angry.
Along the way, she recognized Zhou Lu's strength.
Although he didn't know where the opponent's upper limit was, it was obviously beyond his reach.
Yu Xin nodded quickly, and then agreed with Zhou Lu on the time and place to meet.
After confirming that everything was correct, Zhou Lu jumped down with Hua Huo in his arms without hesitation.
This time, not only Hua Huo and Ben Ben, Zhou Lu even summoned Yue Ya.
It was pitch dark all around.
Fortunately, with Hua Huo's empathy, Zhou Lu was still able to perceive the whole world well.
Based on the experience of the previous few levels, Zhou Lu suspected that he would encounter a powerful immortal with a quasi-god as the foundation on this level.
Fortunately, Hua Huo had gained a lot of attributes and racial skills in the previous few waves of battles.
The most important thing was a lot of energy.
At this time, Hua Huo's aura had gradually become unstable.
Although it didn't transform on the spot, the power accumulated in its body had obviously exceeded the limit that a third-level spirit pet could bear.
Hua Huo urgently needed an object to vent his excess power.
Of course, even with such fireworks, it is not so easy to defeat the enemy of the fourth level of God of War.
Zhou Lu even summoned Yue Ya to appear as the backbone of the battle.
There are not many enemies on this last level, only one.
This is the scariest thing.
This shows that the other party is a being who came out of countless quasi-god-level immortals, and he must have power that others can't imagine.
The fact was just as Zhou Lu guessed.
As Hanabi followed Yue Ya's guidance to the cave where the enemy was, what caught everyone's eyes was a huge blue dragon.
No...it's not the mythical beast Qinglong, but the pressure on people has not diminished at all.
When Zhou Lu discovered it, the other party also discovered himself.
Zhou Lu was not in a hurry this time to let Hua Huo go directly to deliver them.
He first sent out several branches to test the enemy's strength.
As the branches started, huge vine giants appeared in the environment.
Qinglong was obviously startled by the sight in front of him, but then he realized that these vine giants were not very strong, so he quickly adjusted his mentality.
It roared directly and fought with the vine giants.
For a moment, there was no winner or loser between the two sides.
Although the little green dragon can easily destroy any vine giant, it still has a hard time facing a steady stream of enemies.
In fact, if this were the case, Xiao Qinglong would probably still be able to win in the future.
It's a pity that Zhou Lu has never had any fighting virtues here.
Since I can win by sneak attack, there is no need for me to go up and confront the opponent head-on.
Since I can defeat less with more, I don’t want to force myself to endure hardship.
"Yueya! Go up and help!" Zhou Lu decisively gave instructions to Yueya beside him.
After hearing Zhou Lu's order, Yue Ya's eyes lit up with excitement.
Although the other party is also a quasi-god.
But Yueya doesn't think such a quasi-god has enough abilities.
As soon as he spoke, Zhou Lu's three spiritual pets started fighting with the enemy.
With the participation of the quasi-god Yue Ya, the battle quickly became one-sided.
Hanabi used the skill on herself.
roar--!
As if feeling its own death, the giant dragon roared angrily in the direction of Zhou Lu.
Then the next second, its body seemed to be cursed, and it instantly lost all abilities.
Zhou Lu was shocked and immediately understood that this should be Yue Ya's power.
Hanabi immediately seized this fleeting opportunity and directly used the vines to lift the roaring little green dragon up.
As the vines twine and the branches are absorbed, the power of the fireworks increases again.
Looking at the energetic Hanabi, Zhou Lu nodded with great satisfaction.
In this way, the main purpose of his trip was achieved.
There is no need to do tests now. Zhou Lu can confirm with the naked eye that Hanabi has reached a level that can break through.
Just when Zhou Lu was about to turn around and leave, he heard Yue Ya say unexpectedly: "There seems to be someone else inside."
Anyone else?
Zhou Lu almost immediately turned around and looked in the direction Yue Ya said.
A person, just sitting there.
His attire is exactly the same as the statue at the entrance.
