Chapter 303 Participants

The selection contest was much grander than Zhou Lu had imagined.

Zhou Lu looked at the spirit beasts busy setting up the venue and asked curiously: "Is the selection contest so grand? I thought that the re-selection of the beastmaster of Qiu Dao Mu should be kept secret."

While he was talking, a professional team had already entered the venue and began to set up the equipment needed for the live broadcast of the competition.

Obviously, this selection contest will be broadcast live on the entire network at that time.

Ye Qingyu, who was standing by, heard Zhou Lu's question and explained with a smile: "The broadcast to the outside world is not about the re-selection of the beastmaster for Qiu Dao Mu, but the strongest championship at the end of the year. The most elite beastmasters from all walks of life gather here to compete and showdown."

"We will announce the change of the beastmaster candidate for Qiu Dao Mu next year. The public can also judge whether this candidate is suitable through the performance of this game. After all, sometimes the public also needs to know what kind of strength the person who protects them has, right?"

Ye Qingyu made some sense.

Although the Tao-seeking tree has the title of free choice, according to the previous tradition, it will basically choose the one who wins in the end, so this arrangement is reasonable.

"By the way... is your Huahuo so restless?" Ye Qingyu suddenly asked.

Following her line of sight, I saw that Huahuo had perfectly integrated into a group of spirit pets who were building the duel venue, and was happily turning the soil with her roots.

"Uh... it likes to make friends."

The spirit pets responsible for laying the venue are mainly earth and grass spirit beasts. Huahuo has a natural liking for them and is naturally willing to go forward to make friends.

"Hurry up and let it come back." Ye Qingyu rolled her eyes and said, "It is a violation for participating spirit pets to participate in the venue laying."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Huahuo unfold gorgeously and directly completed all the work required on the drawing.

This powerful performance attracted the admiration of the surrounding spirit pets.

"Amazing! Sister Hua, you are so awesome!"

"Great! Great!"

Hua Huo gradually lost herself in the praises of the grass and stones, and laughed with her hands on her hips.

This guy... he is obviously a divine beast and a big sister, how can he play with low-level spirit pets?

Zhou Lu was muttering in his heart, and at the same time he was a little embarrassed.

Calling Hua Huo back at this time would obviously make Hua Huo very embarrassed.

But rules are rules, even though with his current strength, it seems that he can completely ignore the rules.

Just when Zhou Lu was in doubt, he saw Hua Huo raised his hand and directly destroyed the newly paved field.

"Okay! I have taught you once, and you just learn to do it next!" Hua Huo nodded and said.

"I understand! I understand!" The little spirit pets were very happy, and they were not discouraged by having to do repeated work at all, and they even jumped around under Hua Huo's feet.

At this time, Hua Huo also saw the master standing not far away. Bai Nian smiled and said goodbye to the children, and ran to Zhou Lu's side.

"Master~! Good morning!" Hua Huo greeted happily.

Zhou Lu smiled and raised his hand to rub Hua Huo's flowers: "Okay, don't disturb them from working."

As he spoke, he looked towards the entrance of the Invalids.

At this time, a young man was already standing there.

The young man put one hand in his pocket, his hair was messy, and he was wearing the most common white T-shirt and jeans. There were even several holes in the jeans, and he looked sloppy.

The heavy dark circles under his eyes showed that he was a person who stayed up late.

At this time, the young man was standing at the door, looking at the environment inside, and at this moment his eyes met Zhou Lu's.

The young man saw Zhou Lu, and then saw Hua Huo next to Zhou Lu. He was slightly stunned. He raised his hand and was about to say something, but a water ball was put on his head without warning.

His expression was instantly distorted, and his hands scratched as if to peel off the water ball on his head.

At this moment, a pair of snow-white claws appeared from behind him.

Zhou Lu then discovered that there was a girl standing behind the young man.

No.

Calling the other person a girl is a very impolite behavior. Although the other person has a body similar to that of humans and his facial features are indeed in line with human aesthetics, they are not facial features that humans can have. Instead, they look like a cat.

This makes the other person look even more lovely.

Cat girl?

Zhou Lu was thinking about it in his heart, and he saw the cat girl chattering while rubbing the young man's hair with her claws.

After a while, the water ball completely dissipated, and the refreshing and handsome young man appeared kindly as if he had been reborn. He turned around and roared almost without hesitation.

It was not until this time that Zhou Lu heard the other party's conversation clearly.

"What are you doing!" The young man roared at the pet behind him.

"It's too sloppy. Clean it up well." The cat girl pet said firmly.

The young man was speechless: "I'm cleaning, why did you use the water ball directly?"

Maomao thought for a moment and showed a shameful expression: "It's a bit wrong..."

"I should have used the water tornado directly. They said that the drum washing machine can clean more cleanly..."

"Ahhhhh!!! Don't come over!!!!"

For a moment, the young man's voice begging for mercy echoed in the air.

"Shen Hu, a talented officer of the pioneer army." Ye Qingyu stood beside Shen Sui and introduced Shen Sui. "When he graduated from the Beast Taming Academy at the age of 23, he was already a fourth-level beastmaster. At the age of 29, he became a fifth-level beastmaster. His spiritual pet is a water-based Taoxi cat."

"Taoxi cat..." While talking, Shen Hu was chased by his Taoxi cat and climbed up a tree.

I don't know what he was thinking, climbing a tree in front of a cat.

Of course, the tree he chose to climb was planted by Hua Huo not long ago.

Xiao Caocao had long noticed that the owner's eyes stayed on the other cat girl for a few seconds longer. Feeling a little jealous, it silently sent a divine punishment to Shen Hu.

No matter how Shen Hu climbed, he could not reach the top of the tree.

Taoxi cat is worthy of being a divine beast. It immediately noticed the abnormality of the tree and immediately located Hua Huo who was causing trouble.

The cat narrowed its eyes, staring at Hua Huo with its beautiful eyes, and no longer cared about the unhygienic beastmaster.

Hua Huo saw that Tao Xi Cat had noticed her, so she showed a lovely smile to him.

Tao Xi Cat looked at Hua Huo vigilantly, protecting his master behind him.

"Don't be nervous, Wang Cai." Shen Hu patted his Tao Xi Cat's shoulder, but he didn't know that this directly offended Tao Xi Cat's reverse scale.

"Don't call me Wang Cai Meow! This is the dog's name Meow!" As he spoke, it threw Shen Hu to the ground with a thunderous shoulder throw, and then skillfully rode on Shen Hu's body, constantly scratching Shen Hu's cheek with its claws.

"Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! I know I'm wrong!" Shen Hu said vaguely.

"You seem to have a lot of opinions about dogs." At this moment, a voice came from the door.

A handsome tall figure appeared at the door.

The pure white body was elegant and handsome, completely reducing its murderous aura.

Judging from the appearance, the other party should be a wolf-shaped spirit beast.

When Taoxi Cat saw the other party, he immediately showed hostility.

It jumped off Shen Hu's body and entered a state of full alert.

"That..." At this time, a colorful bird on the forehead of the white wolf said, "From the theory of modern biology, you are actually a close relative of cats."

"I am a wolf."

"You are a coyote."

"Coyotes are also wolves."

"Coyotes separated from cats 30 million years ago..."

"..." The white wolf was stunned for a long time, and then looked at Taoxi Cat, "You are right! The name of dog should not be given to us."

"Hey, hey, hey! Your position changes too quickly!" The rainbow bird couldn't help but complain loudly.

At this point, the bird noticed Ye Qingyu not far away, and as if it saw a savior, it flapped its wings and flew to Ye Qingyu's shoulder.

"Sister Qingyu! It's so great to have you here!" As the bird said that, it rubbed Ye Qingyu's cheek with its head very intimately, and then jumped down and wanted to drill into Ye Qingyu's chest.

Ye Qingyu was also quick-witted and blocked her chest with the leaves of the small kite, stopping the bird from doing anything wrong, and said helplessly: "You are hiding at home again, Xiaoxi."

"Hehe, anyway, I am just a person to make up the numbers, it doesn't matter whether I am here or not~!" The bird said coquettishly.

Ye Qingyu held the bird tightly with one hand, turned around and introduced to Zhou Lu: "Le Xiaoxi, the chief captain of the nursing team, an old lady who still likes to act cute and coquettish at the age of 30."

"Too much! Too much! Qingyu! What do you mean by old lady! And where am I acting cute and coquettish?"

"You are obviously older than me, but you still insist on calling me sister. I don't know how you can call me that."

"My judgment of brothers and sisters is based on secondary sexual characteristics..." Before the bird finished speaking, Ye Qingyu, who could no longer bear it, threw it to the ground.

"Qingyu, you are too much. You clearly know that I am in a state of shared perception now." The bird fluttered and flew up, still complaining.

As it said that, the bird looked at Zhou Lu, and then there was a layer of scrutiny in its eyes.

When the bird observed Zhou Lu, Zhou Lu was also observing the bird.

If Zhou Lu remembered correctly, this should be a fourth-level quasi-god Phoenix Feather Bird of Paradise. Le Xiaoxi remotely commanded it through the beastmaster skill [Empathy].

If Ye Qingyu is right, Le Xiaoxi is probably still in the office or her own residence.

Zhou Lu is actually very curious about this legendary captain of the nursing team.

Ever since he started to have contact with the nursing team, the nursing team has always been led and commanded by Ye Qingyu. But Ye Qingyu is actually only the deputy captain of the nursing team, and there should be a captain above her.

But all along, this captain has been elusive, and Zhou Lu even thought that this captain did not exist until now Zhou Lu saw Le Xiaoxi's two pets.

A 30-year-old fifth-level beastmaster, considering that the other party has been a fifth-level beastmaster for several years, this Le Xiaoxi is definitely a well-deserved genius.

And she has become the captain of the nursing team, which shows that she has more than just talent and strength.

These official key positions cannot be held by strength alone, the ability to handle affairs, the ability to lead subordinates, and loyalty to humans are all indispensable qualities.

Zhou Lu was thinking, and the bird spoke: "You are the brother Zhou Lu..."

Before it finished speaking, a large leaf came over.

Snap!

With a crisp sound, Hua Huo slapped the bird into the ground with one leaf, and the action was smooth and flowing.

Zhou Lu saw this scene and looked at Hua Huo beside him in surprise.

Hua Huo was also righteous and confident: "It molested you."

It seemed that the conversation between Le Xiaoxi and Ye Qingyu just now was heard clearly by Hua Huo.

Hua Huo is no longer the little grass that knew nothing before. He also has his own understanding of what sexual characteristics are.

In his concept, after the bird stated the criteria for judging "brother", calling Zhou Lu "brother" was the most standard verbal teasing.

Seeing Le Xiaoxi being humiliated like this, Ye Qingyu beside him also covered his mouth and sneered: "It deserves it."

"This is Hua Huo." Le Xiaoxi was not angry, and was even horrified.

Although her Phoenix Feather Bird of Paradise is only at the fourth level, as a bird spirit beast with special abilities, it is difficult for even a divine beast to attack the Bird of Paradise directly.

[Heaven is Above]: Phoenix Feather Bird of Paradise racial skill. When you are attacked, if the opponent's total attribute is less than your total attribute * 5, you have a certain probability of dodging the damage (the probability varies according to the attribute difference, the minimum is 30%); when you attack, if your total attribute is greater than the opponent's total attribute * 2, when you cause damage, the opponent will die immediately.

Because most of the time, Le Xiaoxi needs to use the Bird of Paradise to command her out-of-town spirit pet, so she taught the Bird of Paradise a lot of skills to increase the dodging probability, directly raising the Bird of Paradise's dodging probability to nearly 95%.

However, under this premise, Hua Huo slapped the Bird of Paradise on the ground so lightly.

This means that the total attribute value of the spirit pet in front of her, which looks like a small grass, is more than five times that of her own Bird of Paradise.

This TM can no longer be described as a numerical monster.

For a moment, Le Xiaoxi even thought that there was a bug in this world.

When Le Xiaoxi was annoyed and confused, Shen Hu had already seen Zhou Lu and his party.

"Lu Shen!" He walked up very enthusiastically, "You must be Lu Shen! I often see reports about you in the news. You can beat up those immortals. Lu Shen is really awesome!"

Looking at the excited Shen Hu in front of him, Zhou Lu thought that the other party was complimenting or even teasing him, but he found that the other party was sincere.

This can't be blamed on Zhou Lu.

A person who is several years older than him and is also a fifth-level beastmaster would be suspicious of such admiration.

"You are really amazing." On the other side, Tao Ximao also expressed his respect for Hua Huo, "Fourth-level immortals are not easy to deal with. You can deal with so many at once."

It turned out that Shen Hu was one of the members sent by the official to deal with the remaining immortals.

At that time, he was besieged by three fourth-level immortals with Taoximao. Although he won in the end, he was also in a miserable state.

Because of this, Shen Hu was very clear about the gold content of Zhou Lu and Hua Huo.

But this does not mean that Shen Hu has given up.

It is precisely because Zhou Lu is so powerful that he has become more determined to come to participate in this competition.

He is eager to have a head-on confrontation with Zhou Lu.
