My beast can't be a demon.

Zhou Lu let Qi Lin go.

The moment Qi Lin appeared in front of him, he could no longer escape.

The micro-branch had already parasitized Qi Lin without anyone noticing.

The concealment-type racial skills awakened by various spirit beasts to avoid natural enemies produced a very magical chemical reaction on Hua Huo.

Qi Lin did not realize that he had been parasitized by Hua Huo's ramets.

Zhou Lu just watched Qi Lin leave.

"Did you forget to activate the skill just now?" Zhou Lu asked Hua Huo helplessly.

If Hua Huo had activated the concealment skill for the ramets, Qi Lin would not have noticed its whereabouts the moment it climbed the wall.

"Isn't it the ramet that you, the master, control?" Hua Huo expressed contempt for Zhou Lu's shirking of responsibility.

Uh...

Okay.

Sure enough, there is still a lack of combat experience.

Because Hua Huo has too many skills. Without enough combat experience, it is really difficult for Zhou Lu to realize the timing of releasing some skills.

However, this problem will be solved soon.

The cloned branches of Firefly are iterating crazily in the illusion of the Seeking Dao Wood.

According to the calculation of the Seeking Dao Wood, the battle experience accumulated by the branches of Firefly in the past few days alone has accumulated for more than 300 years.

And this number is still growing.

Firefly is like an AI that is constantly learning and iterating, and is madly accumulating actual combat experience.

And because it is a cloned branch, these accumulated combat experiences are even serious life-and-death battles.

Zhou Lu is looking forward to what kind of combat power Firefly can show after inserting these combat experiences.

Of course, the most important thing at the moment is the mess in front of him.

From the conversation between Qi Lin and Tian Buhuo, the core personnel of the Immortal Kingdom seem to have successfully evacuated.

However, as long as he follows Qi Lin's trail, it should not be difficult for him to find these people.

While talking, Firefly and Zhou Lu finally arrived at the scene.

Similar to what he felt in empathy, the high temperature of the flame made Zhou Lu feel bursts of burning.

This is probably not an ordinary flame. Even if the whole house is burned clean, it does not show any sign of extinguishing.

However, Hua Huo moved quickly and rescued the dead immortal's body from the fire.

What surprised Zhou Lu was that many of them were familiar faces, all big names he had seen on TV or online news.

He turned out to be an immortal?

Every time Hua Huo brought out a new corpse, Zhou Lu couldn't help but sigh.

He even saw a nationally famous beastmaster star in it.

A beastmaster who created a record of consecutive wins in the competition turned out to be an immortal?

This is indeed an ironic thing.

"This is normal." Qiu Daomu was not surprised by this. "During the battle to destroy the immortals, many immortals disguised themselves as beastmasters and sneaked into our team to cause trouble."

In addition to the unique skills of the beastmaster, such as putting spirit pets into the beastmaster card and other skills that cooperate with spirit pets, the essence of the beastmaster is to interact with spirit pets.

There are actually similar schools among the immortals. They will snatch the offspring of divine beasts and train them from an early age. When these young beasts grow up, they will assist in their battles as mounts.

If they do not show their personal super strength, and only command their pets to fight, their performance is indeed no different from that of a beastmaster.

This is also a sign that many immortals think they are higher than beastmasters.

However, immortals disguised in this way still have some flaws that are difficult to cover up.

For example, when they command their spirit pets to fight, the communication between them and the spirit pets is not smooth.

And the most critical thing is that the evolution speed of spirit pets is almost natural speed, and the acceleration effect of beastmasters on the evolution of spirit pets cannot be shown at all.

Therefore, when immortals disguise themselves as beastmasters, they are often in the strongest state when they appear.

This dead star beastmaster is like this.

He is a beastmaster from a quasi-god family. When he appears, he inherits the state of his own quasi-god spirit pet. It is also with this quasi-god spirit pet that he has won a record-breaking winning streak.

"Obviously enjoying the glory of the times, he chose to betray."

"There is no shortage of such people among humans." Qiu Daomu sneered, "You just haven't seen them enough."

"Hey, that's not necessarily true." Zhou Lu had seen many people who ate the country's food but hated the country on the Internet in his previous life.

Compared with the corpse at his feet, they just lacked an opportunity.

Anyway, they were all dead, so Zhou Lu didn't intend to waste it and nodded to Hua Huo.

Amid Hua Huo's cheers, these unlucky guys instantly became Hua Huo's fertilizer.

"But even so, Hua Huo's growth is still not enough." Zhou Lu looked at Hua Huo, who was madly absorbing growth, and showed a worried expression.

If it was in the past, when Zhou Lu showed this kind of urgency, Qiu Daomu would comfort him and tell him not to be so anxious, and there was still a lot of time left for him.

But this time, Qiu Daomu was silent.

"Your silence scares me even more." Zhou Lu said with a smile.

Qiu Dao Mu heard Zhou Lu's words and smiled bitterly: "Are you testing me?"

No wonder Zhou Lu would show anxiety in front of him from time to time.

The power of fate gave Qiu Dao Mu the ability to touch the future direction.

In most cases, Qiu Dao Mu, who knew part of the future, would calm Zhou Lu down when he expressed anxiety.

But when Qiu Dao Mu did not show such behavior, it meant that the future that Qiu Dao Mu saw should have undergone some unfavorable changes.

Zhou Lu was able to judge the general direction of the situation based on Qiu Dao Mu's attitude.

Obviously, fate cannot be explained.

But humans always get information about fate from themselves in various ways.

It was like this back then, and it is still like this now.

Zhou Lu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I plan to go to the ancient city of the fairyland again, and gather enough growth for the evolution of Firefly there."

After a pause, Zhou Lu continued, "If it is not enough, I will also let Firefly try to evolve."

Hearing Zhou Lu's words, Qiu Dao Mu was a little surprised: "If the growth is insufficient, the success rate of evolution is not high."

"Success rate... Do you think the success rate of this evolution is related to the luck of the beastmaster or the luck of the spirit beast?" Zhou Lu asked for no reason.

To his surprise, Qiu Daomu answered without hesitation: "It is related to both. The luck of the beastmaster will have a high blessing on this, so the success rate of the evolution of the spirit beast that becomes the spirit pet of the beastmaster is very high."

"Huh?" Zhou Lu didn't expect Qiu Daomu to actually answer this question.

As if guessing the reason for Zhou Lu's surprise, Qiu Daomu said speechlessly: "This is already a relatively normal project for you human researchers to study. I even have papers related to the effects of different animal body fluids on the growth rate of female mice. He even used his own body fluids. Are you interested in listening?"

A drop of cold sweat instantly flowed down Zhou Lu's forehead: "Forget it, forget it."

I thought the senior sister's research project was already weird enough, but I didn't expect that there would be something even weirder.

No! What kind of perverted researcher can come up with this topic!

"So is there an impact?" Zhou Lu couldn't help asking.

Damn! I really care about this result!

Qiu Dao Mu said helplessly: "There is no strong correlation in statistics."

"Ah... It doesn't matter?"

"You are not expecting anything, are you?" Qiu Dao Mu showed an expression of looking at a pervert.

Zhou Lu coughed twice and quickly changed the subject: "So, as long as the luck of the beastmaster is improved, the success rate of evolution can be increased?"

"In theory, it is like this."

In fact, in the wild, even if the spirit beast reaches the peak of the original level, the success rate of evolution is only about 80% when all materials are collected, which is far less than the amazing 99% success rate of spirit pets.

And for those who have not grown to the peak level, the probability of evolution is even lower.

"But it is still difficult to improve the luck of the beastmaster." Qiu Dao Mu looked at Zhou Lu and said.

Although it felt that Zhou Lu should still have some ways.

"We'll see when the time comes." Zhou Lu looked at Xu Fangfang and his group who were rushing over from a distance.

The fire here has attracted the attention of the officials.

As the official strongest beastmaster of Suizhou, Xu Fangfang naturally came here as soon as possible.

Looking at the raging fire in front of him, Xu Fangfang was stunned for a moment, and then he saw the corpses on the ground.

Unlike Zhou Lu, Xu Fangfang had mixed in the upper social circle, and had a deeper understanding of the identities of these people on the ground than Zhou Lu, so he was inevitably horrified.

"What happened here?!" When he spoke, his voice couldn't help but tremble.

If the situation here was spread, the whole world would be shaken unprecedentedly.

Many people here are the heirs of the rulers of certain key industries.

Compared with Xu Fangfang, Zhou Lu seemed very calm: "They are all immortals and belong to the immortal country. Hurry up and find your boss, I'm afraid you can't cover this matter."

The next day, Zhou Lu woke up from his sleep and opened his mobile phone to browse the web.

As he expected, there was no trace of the fire in the suburbs last night in the public opinion field, as if it had never happened.

But looking at the 99+ missed calls on the mobile phone, it is not difficult to see that this matter is not as simple as it seems.

Zhou Lu picked up the phone and called Ye Qingyu back.

The phone was connected as soon as the ring rang.

"What did you do last night?!" Ye Qingyu asked in a low voice.

The sound of a meeting could be faintly heard from the background sound of the other party.

"Qi Lin did it." Zhou Lu said, "He disguised himself as Ouyang Xiao and led me away. When I found the Tian family's private residence, it was what you know."

"Is Xiao Xiao okay?"

"No." Zhou Lu lied.

He hasn't gone to find Ouyang Xiao yet.

But if Wu Xiaoqing doesn't react, it means that the mushrooms on Ouyang Xiao's body have not withered, and there is no danger to his life.

He is preparing to go to the place Qi Lin said to find the other party today.

"This matter is a big deal." Ye Qingyu said with a headache.

"I can see that many of them are heirs of the beast family, right? It seems that many of them control key industries." Zhou Lu recalled the list he compiled with Xu Fangfang, and his scalp tingled when he thought about it.

This batch of dead immortals are basically from big families.

Some of them control world shipping, and some control the breeding of spirit pets.

Clothing, food, housing, transportation...

Almost all industries you can think of have been affected.

This is the era of beastmasters. All industries are basically inseparable from spirit pets. Either they need spirit pets to provide capabilities or they need spirit pets to provide raw materials.

And once the Tian family incident broke out, after confirming that all the corpses on the scene were immortals, it meant that these beastmaster families were no longer trustworthy.

When Zhou Lu was the leader, he would probably have a headache if he thought about how many industries they were involved in.

"If you need it, I can help." Zhou Lu could only say this.

He was still not good at arguing with people.

"You can't do anything about this kind of thing..."

"It's okay to send those who oppose to be fertilizer for flowers."

"Don't be so extreme."

"Okay, just kill them all."

"This is no different from being fertilizer for flowers!" Ye Qingyu complained helplessly.

But after being disturbed by Zhou Lu, the irritable mood was dissipated a lot.

What Ye Qingyu didn't know was that Zhou Lu could actually do this - of course, excluding the interference of the divine beast.

Zhou Lu didn't intend to explain too much, he needed to rescue Senior Brother Ouyang first.

Fortunately, the place Qi Lin mentioned was not far from Suizhou.

Zhou Lu brought Hua Huo here quickly.

"I didn't expect that there are such barren mountains in the real world..." Looking at the surrounding environment, Zhou Lu couldn't help but mutter.

Thanks to the protection of the natural environment by humans in recent years, the real world, where the natural spiritual beast resources were almost exhausted, has gradually seen groups of wild spiritual beasts.

Just on this short journey up the mountain, Hua Huo caught a lot of wild spiritual beasts.

They are generally not strong, and they are not afraid of people.

When they saw Zhou Lu, they looked like they were asking for food.

After walking a long way into the mountain, Zhou Lu came to the place Qi Lin said.

This should have been a cave.

But at this time, the entrance of the cave was blocked by stones.

"There are people inside." Hua Huo's roots have already felt the vibration inside.

After waving the vines to move all the stones away, the master and servant walked into the cave.

Here, he finally saw his senior whom he had never met before.

"Hey! It's little Zhou Lu~!" A beautiful kitten saw Zhou Lu and made a happy sound.

In memory, this kitten was Ouyang Xiao's pet, named Beaker.

Just the name of this pet, Zhou Lu is hard to evaluate.

The kitten looked at Zhou Lu, and his eyes seemed to turn into running water: "Didn't you bring a cotton swab?"

Snap!

Before it finished speaking, Hua Huo rolled up the cat with a vine.

"Meow~!!"

"Can I make it into a cat cake?" Hua Huo said angrily.

Intuition told it that the cat's words were almost like seduction!

Zhou Lu's mouth twitched slightly.

The predecessor only did some necessary counseling work on Beaker under the guidance of Ouyang Xiao...

This is also why the predecessor didn't like Ouyang Xiao very much.

This guy's brain circuit is always weird.
