My beast can't be a demon.

"Is your pet...really a quasi-god?"

Xu Dalong asked in surprise, looking at the vast desert behind him.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Lu asked curiously.

Xu Dalong looked at Hua Huo, who was happily planting grass, and said, "I think even a quasi-god plant pet can't plant plants in such a large desert."

Since the sand dust was too cunning and cautious, no matter how Hua Huo searched, he couldn't find the other party.

No wonder Xu Dalong and Lin Kexing, two fourth-level beast masters, were helpless when facing this enemy.

Since he couldn't catch the other party's entity, Zhou Lu simply let Hua Huo use a stupid method.

Hua Huo kept sowing his own ramets, and then disconnected them to let the ramets survive freely.

In this way, these disconnected ramets no longer occupied the number of ramets controlled by Hua Huo.

And these disconnected ramets that remained in place, even if they would die due to lack of water in the sandy soil later, their roots could still grab a part of the sand.

Zhou Lu guessed that the sand controlled by the dust was most likely not its own body, but the sand that originally existed in the desert.

If he used the ramets to fix these sands, the other party would have much less sand to call.

It was these sands that really hindered the pioneer army's progress, which was also a method of indicator.

At the same time, the ramets left by Hua Huo were also counted within the flower field range of [Flower Field Fairy].

If these ramets can really survive in the future, then Hua Huo will be equivalent to having a large new flower field, which will increase the damage of the fireworks.

"Other quasi-gods can actually do it." Zhou Lu said, "It will just consume too much physical strength."

The ramets did not appear out of thin air, and all the energy consumed during the growth process came from Hua Huo.

One or two ramets may not be noticeable, but when the number is tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, this consumption is very obvious.

And because the ramets have to be disconnected and left in place to solidify the sand, Hua Huo cannot recover part of the energy by recycling the ramets.

Part of this energy is filled by Hua Huo's own recovery, and the other part depends on Zhou Lu.

Beastmaster skill [Limited Source].

Through this skill, Zhou Lu can select one of his pets to greatly increase its physical and spiritual power recovery speed within a period of time, and the price is the race skill of a pet.

This beastmaster skill can be said to be very vicious.

It is completely using other pets as the recovery fountain of his main pet.

But for Zhou Lu, or for Hua Huo, the negative effect of this skill is basically non-existent.

Hua Huo is equivalent to getting a recovery buff for free.

The improvement brought by [Limited Source] is amazing.

Wherever the pioneer army passes, Hua Huo uses ramets to pave sparse grassland.

Although it is still far from the grassland, these disconnected ramets firmly grasp the surrounding sand through the strong root system given by Hua Huo.

"I think you can find a job in the environmental improvement department after graduation." Lin Kexing looked at Hua Huo's behavior along the way and said in admiration, "This ability to transform sand is comparable to that of divine beasts."

"Hua Huo still has a long way to go before becoming a divine beast." Zhou Lu smiled and said.

As they spoke, the group had already arrived at the front line where the pioneer army retreated.

There were still some materials left here from the front-line camps built by the pioneer army.

Only a few days had passed, and this place was already covered with a layer of sand.

Standing here and looking up, the rolling yellow sand in the distance was clearly visible.

"The scale of this sandstorm seems to be much smaller than before." Xu Dalong made a judgment after taking a look.

"It seems that Zhou Lu's tactics have worked." Lin Kexing said happily, "The remaining branches have fixed the sand and soil, and the sand and soil that Shachen can use has been greatly reduced."

Xu Dalong's eyes lit up and said, "In this case, as long as we take steady steps and explore the entire area, there should be no problem."

"Take steady steps?" Zhou Lu said, "I don't have that much time to waste there, we have to speed up."

Xu Dalong heard Zhou Lu's words and said in disbelief, "Doesn't your pet need to rest?"

Hua Huo rolled out a thumb with her leaves: "I can work even when I'm resting!"

Xiao Caocao didn't lie.

Plants may be dormant, but dormancy does not prevent them from continuing to work.

Hua Huo sleeps while getting into bed and cleaning the room on the other side. This is something she often does recently.

Zhou Lu suspected that it was all the big-leaf iris that taught Hua Huo bad things.

As for who taught the big-leaf iris bad things? We have to look at our ultimate plant control, Ye Qingyu.

Zhou Lu even thought that if Senior Brother Ouyang married Ye Qingyu in the future, she would let Senior Brother Ouyang COS as a big tree.

Just as he was complaining in his heart, the fireworks had already turned the desert in this area into a green grassland.

In fact, according to Zhou Lu's original idea, the fireworks should have laid a protective forest all the way.

It's a pity that the consumption of turning branches into trees is too great.

Even with the bonus of [Limited Source], the consumption requires the fireworks to rest every once in a while to complete it.

So Zhou Lu could only choose the grassland as a second choice.

But it must be said that the advantages of grass are still very obvious.

It consumes little growth, has a high probability of survival in sand, and is also enough to hold sand.

The only flaw is that it cannot resist the wind and sand like the shelterbelt, allowing a group of people to walk leisurely under the tree.

However, this surmountable difficulty is nothing to the pioneer army.

"The unknown area starts in front." Xu Dalong's expression gradually became serious, "Link and I will protect the safety of you and Hua Huo, you just continue to lay according to this tactic."

Xu Dalong also noticed the significance of Hua Huo's action this time.

If the survival rate of these ramets is gratifying, this desert may be transformed into an oasis in the future.

This is definitely a good thing for the mining troops that will arrive later.

If there is a choice, no one will choose to work in a desolate desert.

Unknown areas also mean unknown risks.

Considering the special nature of sand and dust, Zhou Lu feels that if this place is really open, it will definitely be an A-level secret realm.

Although Xu Dalong and Lin Kexing are both trustworthy warriors, Zhou Lu is not used to leaving his safety in the hands of others.

So Zhou Lu released the beast card, and Yueya and Benben appeared beside him one after another.

"Fuck. What are you doing? Such a big battle?" As soon as Yueya came out, she saw Hua Huo planting branches on a large area of ​​desert.     The visual impact of the desert turning into an oasis in an instant is still very strong. Even though Yueya is already a veteran quasi-god of thousands of years, she couldn't help but sigh when she saw this scene.

Zhou Lu gave a general introduction to the enemy he was about to face, and then asked: "Do you have any impression of such a spirit beast?"

"I thought of one, but it was a long, long time ago, and I wasn't born yet." Yueya thought and said.

In fact, the restrictions of the secret door now only appeared in the late Immortal Age.

In the earlier period, the connection between secret realms was not as clear as it is now, and many spirit beasts could enter other secret realms through some vague boundaries.

It was only later that people discovered that the random travel between secret realms would lead to the continuous collapse of the main world, so they gradually began to standardize the way of entering and exiting secret realms.

With the emergence of the secret realm gate system, these vague transmission boundaries quickly disappeared, and the secret realms began to be physically separated.

Originally belonging to the same race of spirit beasts, they were forced to live in different secret realms because of this change. Over time, they evolved different traits, and some even had reproductive isolation, becoming two completely different species.

In fact, let alone other spirit beasts, humans themselves have several branches.

Some studies believe that the two talents of beastmasters and immortals belonged to two completely different human creatures in ancient times. Later, the immortals swallowed up another human creature with the powerful force of continuous devouring.

The two were compatible in blood in the following years, so the skills of the two races were expressed in modern humans.

These are all the contents mentioned in the information of the ancestors.

At first, he sneered.

But when he thought of the racial skills of the immortals, he felt a little creepy.

If there really were many human branches in ancient times.

Then what was the fate of other human branches?

Zhou Lu's wild thoughts did not affect the efficiency of the group's advancement.

"So cowardly... it should be the sand element." Yueya said affirmatively.

"Sand element?"

"Well, a spirit beast that can control sand and minerals." Yueya introduced, "I have also heard about it from my elders. If it is really it..."

Yueya said this, but stopped talking.

"How do you say it?" Zhou Lu asked hurriedly.

"This secret realm may belong to the Kingdom of Ruier." Yueya thought for a while and said, "That is, the country created by your human ancestors."

"The country created by human ancestors?" Xu Dalong, who had been listening to the conversation between the two, asked hurriedly, "What level of ancestors are they?"

"The common ancestor of all human creatures." Yueya said very seriously, "Sand element is considered the earliest spirit beast domesticated by humans. Before you have evolved the talent of beastmasters."

The so-called racial skills are an extreme manifestation of biological characteristics.

According to existing theories, whether it is immortals or beastmasters, these two racial skills must have evolved later.

So before modern humans and even immortals, what skills did these genetic ancestors have?

Xu Dalong's expression suddenly became serious when he heard Yueya's words.

He didn't expect that just an action to open up a new mine would actually involve a country of human ancestors.

In fact, the study of the evolutionary history of the human race has never stopped.

The question of where they came from has always been explored by humans.

"If this Rui'an Kingdom really exists, then we need to explore it carefully." Xu Dalong said immediately and issued an order.

Zhou Lu called out Manman, intending to ask about the Rui'an Kingdom and the sand element.

Seeing Zhou Lu casually called out a general fairy, Xu Dalong and Lin Kexing's eyes widened immediately.

Damn! Damn!

What did I see?

Someone actually has a private general fairy?

And it hasn't been killed by Qiu Daomu?

"Is there any problem?" Manman yawned and looked around, "Huh? Why did you come to the desert?"

Seeing the expressions of Xu Dalong and Lin Kexing, Zhou Lu hurriedly explained: "Her name is Manman, a rather special universal fairy. Don't worry, I didn't do anything illegal like robbing the universal fairy."

"Hello." Manman greeted politely.

Then Zhou Lu relayed what Yue Ya said to Man Man and asked, "Do you have any impression of this sand element?"

"Yes." Manman replied simply and neatly.

Zhou Lu, who originally just had the idea of ​​giving it a try, was immediately surprised when he heard Manman's answer: "You really know!"

"Don't you read the research report?" Man Man said silently, "According to the corpse of a spiritual beast excavated by your human archaeologists from a human tomb three million years ago, this kind of spiritual beast recorded in ancient texts as sand The beast is probably the earliest spiritual beast domesticated by you humans."

Having said this, Manman paused and asked curiously: "By the way...why did you suddenly ask this question?"

Zhou Lu helplessly pointed to the sandstorm in the distance: "What I'm facing now is probably a sandstorm."

After Manman was down for a few seconds, he shouted in surprise: "Really! Really!"

As she said that, she flapped her wings and flew around Zhou Lu: "Hurry up and see! Hurry up and see! I really want to know!"

The general knowledge fairy, or Qiudaomu's thirst for knowledge burst out in an instant.

With expectations for Sand and the Ruian Kingdom, the group's traveling speed suddenly accelerated a lot, approaching the limit of Hua Huo Cao's speed.

Finally, with a crazy march, the surrounding sand and dust gradually dissipated.

"You are really bullying me too much!"

Finally, when a group of people stepped into a special area and saw a large number of sandy buildings, an angry voice came.

Several people looked around and saw a snowman-like figure made of sand flying angrily in the air.

"I don't even intend to hurt you, why do you have to come here!"

"No one is allowed to disturb the king's tomb!!"

"Your behavior has violated the death penalty!"

"Yeah! Are you ready? I'm going to kill you!"

The little sand man made an expression that he thought was super scary.

I saw it raising its hand, waving menacingly, as if everything in the world was under its control.

However, the next second, it looked dumbfounded at the thirty-nine grains of sand gathered in its hand.

The little sandman looked around in disbelief.

Looking around, all that comes into view is green grass.

At this moment, the little sandman’s screams resounded throughout the desert:

"Shit! Where's my sand?"
