Chapter 260: Sealed Demon Cultivator, Here I Come!
Benben's evolution is complete.
Zhou Lu's words did change Benben's mind.
Yes, if it didn't want to become a divine beast, it wouldn't have chosen to become Zhou Lu's spiritual pet.
The dragon is in the abyss, waiting for an opportunity to move.
Benben had no idea of evolution before, so he chose to live forever in the egg.
But now that he can see the threshold, why not try?
The third level is a threshold for Jiunan Zhulong because as long as it passes the third level, Jiunan Zhulong will have some combat power even in the egg.
Maybe it can't give Zhou Lu a huge combat power boost like Huahuo, but the permanent attribute bonus brought by [Dragon Talisman] will double after the third level.
This also allows Huahuo to obtain more permanent attributes through absorption.
And Zhou Lu can also enhance his ability through Huahuo's feedback.
Along with the light of evolution, Benben's figure came out of the beast card.
Evolution removed all the injuries on it.
"Very good." Zhou Lu saw that Benben had made a choice and said happily, "You have chosen a very good path!"
Benben floated in the air, and the pattern on the surface of the eggshell condensed into a line of text: "I will work hard! Please ravage me as much as you want!"
Seeing this text, Zhou Lu couldn't help laughing.
Although he knew what Benben wanted to express, just reading this text really made people think about it.
"Before that, we have to learn a skill first."
Zhou Lu said this and took out a spirit beast skill card.
This is an A-level skill card, which he exchanged for the skill card given by the system on the black market.
The name of the skill is [Refresh Egg].
It can immediately refresh the cooldown of a skill.
Although it has a very powerful effect, not many spirit pets have learned this skill.
The main reason is that egg-type spirit pets that can reach the third level can no longer be described as rare.
There is no other spirit beast in the world with a special evolutionary trajectory like Jiunan Zhulong.
This skill comes from an experimental animal.
Humans have evolved a bird's egg to the third stage without hatching it through technology.
Their idea is to create an egg that can hatch into a quasi-god or even a divine beast, which can greatly reduce the training pressure of the beastmaster.
However, such behavior is obviously contrary to intuition and the laws of nature.
This experimental project, which netizens jokingly call "primary school to undergraduate", was finally stuck at the third stage and could not make any progress, and it was completely impossible for the bird egg to complete the fourth stage evolution.
And the resources consumed to cultivate the egg to the third stage are not affordable for ordinary people.
Even Brother Fu, facing such an outrageous price, decisively chose to directly contract a third-level spirit beast.
But since the experiment has already produced results, it is natural to squeeze out the surplus value.
So the development team tried desperately to awaken various strange skills for this bird egg.
This [Refresh Egg] is one of these skills.
It is precisely because of the existence of this skill that the bird egg has become the object of competition for many fourth- and fifth-level beastmasters.
After all, the cooldown time is often the limit of many powerful skills, especially the skills of the beastmaster.
Just like Zhou Lu's [Recycling], which has a full seven-day cooldown time, it is absolutely unacceptable for Zhou Lu who is about to go to the secret realm to improve the combat power of Firefly.
But as long as you have [Refresh Egg], the cooldown time of [Recycling] will drop to one day at once - because the cooldown time of [Refresh Egg] is one day.
After letting Benben learn the skill of [Refresh Egg], Zhou Lu brought his spirit pets to the nearest Explorer Association.
His goal is to go directly to the ruins of various immortal mansions.
And the more dangerous the place, the more he likes to go.
Ordinary spirit beasts can only give Firefly skills and attributes.
Only immortals can let Firefly absorb the attributes of growth.
If you want Firefly to reach the standard of evolving into a divine beast as quickly as possible, then Zhou Lu must find more immortals.
Although Zhou Lu also had the idea of catching all the Yan Gui immortals on Phoenix Island, he still held back considering that the Immortal Kingdom and Shengling Sect had not yet revealed their true colors.
His idea was very simple: wait until all the immortal organizations show up and kill them all.
As a plant, Hua Huo also needs to learn about the Dao of Sand in depth.
Thinking this way, Zhou Lu began to move towards various Class B secret realms.
Starting from these secret realms, the relics of the immortal era gradually increased.
Because there are a lot of unknown dangers in these relics, even if the pioneer army has roughly explored them, they still do not recommend non-professional beast masters to explore there.
These relics often occupy a very small position in a large secret realm, and the pioneer army cannot mark the entire secret realm as unexplorable for this place.
This has led to many beast masters being proud of exploring various immortal relics.
This type of beast master is also often the group with the highest mortality rate in the secret realm.
The cause of death of many beast masters has not even been investigated to date, and can only be explained by "suspected poisoning".
After Zhou Lu entered a secret realm, he was not in a hurry to explore the ruins there.
He glanced at the electronic atlas in his hand, and then searched for spirit beasts that live in groups and have fixed habitats.
After determining the target, he took Hua Huo straight there.
Anyway, since we were here, it was just a matter of finding social animals to set up automatic attribute acquisition equipment.
The attribute bonus brought by these devices has brought Hua Huo's attributes to a very good range.
Originally as a plant spirit beast, and the weakest grass, Hua Huo's attributes were at a lower-middle level among spirit beasts of the same level.
The attribute bonus of this kind of creature itself is often very different at the fourth level, which directly leads to many spirit pets being able to exist only as auxiliary spirit pets due to the limitations of their own attributes.
Of course, there are also people like Lily who are actually quite powerful but are willing to be auxiliary spirit pets.
But the fundamental reason why most spirit beasts occupy the auxiliary position is that their own attributes are not enough to support their existence as the main force.
And with the help of these automatic attribute acquisition branches, Hua Huo's attributes have now reached the level of the top combat main spirit beasts of the same level.
The most exaggerated thing is that as the light on Hua Huo's body continues to flash, his strength is still getting stronger.
No one will complain that he is getting stronger too slowly.
If there is a chance, Zhou Lu will not give up arranging as many ramets with grabbing attributes as possible.
He was originally worried that these ramets would have some impact on the local biosphere when arranged in nature.
But soon, Zhou Lu found that he had completely underestimated the adaptability of organisms.
Just like shipwrecks, they were rare in the ancient sea.
But this did not prevent marine organisms from living here as a habitat.
The vine fishing boats arranged by Hua Huo on the sea have now become a place for marine organisms to check in regularly.
Because the ramets will eat the parasites on their body surface because of the instinct of the insect trap when catching them, these creatures even regard these boats as their own bathing places.
As long as there is something strange on the surface of the body, they will come to check in.
After arranging some fishing ramets by the lake, Zhou Lu turned around with Hua Huo and walked towards the direction of the ruins.
With Yueya, Zhou Lu's desire to explore the secret realm became much greater, because he didn't need to waste most of his time on the road.
With Yueya's figure cutting through the sky, the group arrived at the location of the ruins in an instant.
This was originally the location of a small sect.
It had been destroyed by other sects long before the battle to destroy the immortals.
However, as soon as he arrived here, Zhou Lu felt something was wrong.
The originally sunny secret realm became gloomy as soon as he arrived here.
After Yueya landed, he immediately said: "Be careful, it's the breath of a demon cultivator."
"How strong is it?" Zhou Lu asked hurriedly.
Yueya couldn't make a judgment: "But it must not be very strong. After all, this sect was not famous in the immortal era, and it shouldn't have produced any outrageous strong people."
Zhou Lu nodded, and then signaled Huahuo to start moving.
Huahuo quickly released his branches.
Under the cover of various secret skills, the flying branches flew towards the depths of the ruins.
After a while, the surface of these architectural ruins began to be covered with vegetation.
"Found it." Hua Huo suddenly opened his eyes, "A sealed stone door, the breath outside is released from inside."
"Can it be opened?"
Hua Huo thought for a while: "I'll try."
It untied the restrictions of the ramet and let its ramet parasitize on the stone door.
This stone door seemed to have some powerful restrictions, and it had an instinctive resistance to foreign invasion.
Unfortunately, Hua Huo never made sense, and directly pressed its ramet on the stone door with powerful force.
As the effect of the crab slave parasitism was triggered, Hua Huo's ramet grew wildly on the stone door.
Their roots were not regarded as a threat by the stone door, so they used the stone door as soil and grew wildly.
After a while, the stone door that originally looked very solid and even had a strong restriction on the surface was instantly broken by Hua Huo's ramet.
With the rupture of the stone door, the shackles of this seal were also untied.
"Hahaha! Hahaha! I finally see the light of day again!"
"Where's Lu Boyan? Where's that bastard Lu Boyan!"
"I'm going to kill him!!!!"
A black mist suddenly flew out from behind the stone gate, forming a human figure in the air, shouting words of revenge.
He instantly spotted Zhou Lu not far away.
The strong appetite given to him by the [Immortal] skill made him lick his lips subconsciously: "Just right, I'm hungry too."
"Boy! It's your honor to be in my stomach!"
The other party said arrogantly.
Then he raised his hand and tried to suck Zhou Lu into his hand.
As a result, he suddenly found that no matter how hard he tried, Zhou Lu just stood there motionless.
Just as he was confused, the boy released his Beast Taming Card.
Then, the plant branch next to him used a vine to wrap an egg released from the Beast Taming Card and threw it at him.
What kind of tactic is this for children to fight and throw eggs?
The man sneered in his heart and raised his hand as if to smash the egg.
However, at the moment when his attack landed on the egg, his body fell into a strange stiffness.
Not good!
The man shouted in his heart.
He looked up and saw that the bright-looking plant spirit beast pointed at him.
The next second, a beam of firework pierced through his body.
Along with the firework came the vines that kept climbing.
The body of the immortal had just been broken, and these vines grew insect traps, which gathered all the remains of the immortal.
"There should be another one." Zhou Lu said very calmly.
As his voice fell, the vine Titan of Fireworks had taken shape.
With the burst of the vine Titan's punch, the entire ruins were hit and sunken.
"Who are you?!"
A figure fled from the ruins in a panic.
Zhou Lu just glanced at the other party lightly, and the vines of Fireworks instantly tied up the other party.
The control skill brought by the poison made the opponent fall into an infinite dizziness, and the life was taken away by the fireworks bit by bit.
The battle came to an end, and the fireworks took less than five minutes to deal with the two immortals.
This was not because the fireworks were too strong.
It was because the strength of the demon cultivators sealed in this relic was only about the third level.
Even if the immortals had extraordinary power, it was useless against the fireworks, which were also bugs.
"I heard that the demon cultivators seemed to have all kinds of terrifying and weird methods." Zhou Lu touched his chin and thought, "I haven't seen it."
Hearing Zhou Lu's words, Yueya on the side said speechlessly: "Even if it is a weird method, there must be a chance to use it. In the face of absolute attribute crushing, there is no place for strange skills."
The output of the fireworks was too explosive, and even if the opponent wanted to resist, it was powerless.
In the next few days, Zhou Lu explored several ruins in the secret realm.
Although not all ruins have sealed demon cultivators, there are always a few encountered.
These demon cultivators, without exception, were easily taken away by Hua Huo.
But this also disappointed Zhou Lu a little.
"I thought these sealed demon cultivators would be very powerful."
As a result, the strongest demon cultivator Hua Huo encountered was only level three, which was not good enough.
Yueya said: "Nonsense, if it was strong, it would not be caught. Under the skills of the immortals, those who were not eaten but sealed were actually considered to have some strength."
"The real strong ones are often concentrated in the Great Immortal Sect."
Great Immortal Sect?
Zhou Lu thought.
Most of the ruins of these sects are in the A-class secret realm.
Well, it seems that it is time to take the A-class exploration certificate.
For the current Hua Huo, such an exam should not be a problem.
After Zhou Lu determined the goal, he decisively stopped exploring the secret ruins temporarily.
He was indeed very curious about what the style of the A-class secret realm was like.
Will there be more and more interesting spirit beasts waiting for him.
