Chapter 272 The Tomb of the King of the Ancient Country
Hanabi caught Sand easily.
Its strength is far from as powerful as the Pioneer Army imagined, or because of the limitations of fireworks, it is simply unable to exert its true strength.
Manman looked at the sand element in front of him with interest: "It's interesting that such a spiritual beast exists. It's so interesting."
Sha's face was full of decadence, how could he be the same as before? of arrogance.
"You humans really don't have martial ethics!" Sha said angrily, "You actually used this method to deal with me!"
"You just said that this is the king's tomb." Zhou Lu said directly Ignoring Sha's complaints, he asked directly, "What kind of king is it?"
"Of course it's the king of Ruian." Sha said matter-of-factly, and then looked at the people present curiously, "I Said... You guys in fancy clothes dare to break in here without permission. Aren't you afraid of being sentenced to death by the kingdom? "
Obviously, the spiritual beast in front of you does not know that the Kingdom of Ruian has long since disappeared in history? Among them, except for particularly professional archaeologists, almost no one knows about the existence of this country.
Xu Dalong immediately ordered his men to protect this place.
If this is really the royal tomb of the Ruian Kingdom, it will be of great research value for human history.
Zhou Lu was not interested in these things, but was very interested in the sand on his hands.
As an ancient spirit beast, it does not have as distinct a form and stage as modern spirit beasts. In addition, there are no other similar species as a reference, so it is difficult for Zhou Lu to judge what level of spirit pet it is. ——Unless he signs a beast-control contract with the other party.
In fact, Zhou Lu did exactly that.
As the beast master who defeated Sand, Zhou Lu easily obtained Sand's contract rights.
In a sense, the talent of a beast master is a super domineering skill like that of an immortal.
It’s just that modern education has intentionally or unintentionally weakened this attribute, paying more attention to cultivating the mutual trust relationship between beast masters and spiritual pets.
Saya felt the contract between himself and Zhou Lu: "Hey, hey, hey! What have you done to me?"
"Is it actually the fourth level?" Zhou Lu looked at it There are not many surprises about Sha's rank.
“Ahhhh! What on earth did you do to me!”
"Beast Control Contract." Zhou Lu introduced to Sha, "Don't worry, if you really don't want to be my spiritual pet, I will break the contract."
"Beast Control Contract? What is this? "Obviously, there is no such thing in Sha's mind.
"Human race skills. Don't you know?"
"How is that possible!" Suna immediately retorted, "Isn't human race skill wisdom?"
"Wisdom?" Zhou Lu was stunned.
As the ancestors of modern humans, the Ruian people lived in an era where humans did not evolve the skills of immortals and beast masters.
Just like the racial skill of early mammals was breastfeeding, as ancient humans, their racial skill [wisdom] has been integrated into human genes and has become something that can be possessed without awakening or evolution. a characteristic.
After possessing universal wisdom, human beings became more and more ambitious, and eventually evolved into [Immortals] and [Beast Controllers].
Listening to Sha's description, Zhou Lu also seemed to have grasped a trace of human ancestors millions of years ago.
[Wisdom] This racial skill, from the perspective of modern people, seems to be the beginning of the world, and is the cornerstone of human civilization.
However, in that barbaric era, this kind of racial skill that did not significantly improve one's own physical combat actually brought mankind to the brink of extinction.
In the end, it was a tribe named Ruian who relied on the wisdom given by racial skills to learn to make tools, learn to form tribes and hunt together, and record and pass on the characteristics of various prey. .
It was during this process that human civilization was gradually born, and Ruian gradually became one of the oldest kingdoms of mankind.
In fact, Ruian is just one of the countless human tribes that are trying to survive in the mysterious wilderness. In order to survive, different tribes have used the wisdom given by racial skills to create various methods.
When these tribes began to come into contact, their respective survival techniques also began to communicate. Because of the bonus of [wisdom], they quickly learned these techniques, so that the human race as a whole began to grow rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Become stronger.
It's just like the domestication of sand, but different tribes have domesticated various spiritual beasts according to their respective environments to serve their tribes' hunting.
However, humans at that time were not able to directly capture and contract adult spirit beasts like today's beast masters do, but generally started to tame them from their young.
Sha's parents are spirit beasts tamed by King Ruian, so it has existed as a prince's spirit beast since childhood and has been accompanying its master from birth to enthronement and death.
After having a general understanding of Sha's past, Zhou Lu also began to test Sha's abilities.
This world is different from the settings of many novels. The older it is, the more powerful it is. Of course, the more modern it is, the more powerful it is.
The so-called powerful is the human definition of spiritual beasts.
For spirit beasts, as long as they can survive in the world and inherit their genes, the shape of their bodies can be used for survival.
When this trait developed for survival happens to be in the interests of human beings, it will be called powerful.
Therefore, whether the spiritual beasts in this world are powerful or not has nothing to do with the time of their evolution and birth. It is a completely random matter.
And with the development of human beings, the definition and demand for power are also different.
However, the abilities of some spiritual beasts can be called powerful no matter what era they are placed in.
Sha is a standard spiritual beast of this kind.
Its racial skill is to control sand, and can make stones crush and weather.
The range of control is amazing.
As the war machine of the Ruian Kingdom, the sand elements helped the Ruian tribe defeat the surrounding human tribes one after another, and finally established the amazing Ruian Kingdom.
As long as there is enough sand, the sand can set off a huge sandstorm in an instant, and use the sand to form a huge sandman army in the sandstorm.
Only relying on this point, its strength is enough to rank among the quasi-gods.
If the fireworks had not been carried out steadily and used branches to fix the sand in the entire surrounding desert, the sand would have caused a lot of trouble to the pioneering army.
Of course, there is also sand in it.
Because it saw that the people coming were humans, out of loyalty to humans, it did not kill these humans immediately, but only stopped them.
Even if it became aware of Hanabi's behavior later, it did not strike hard. As a result, Hanabi followed her step by step, gradually swallowing up the power of resistance.
Zhou Lu looked at Suna who was still accusing Hanabi, but he couldn't help but admire him in his heart.
Even though millions of years have passed, Sand still remains loyal to his master and even his master's race.
In an era when there was no contract to control beasts, this kind of loyalty was so valuable.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Sha looked at Zhou Lu strangely.
"Huh? Why did you cancel the contract again?" Then it felt that Zhou Lu had terminated the beast control contract with it.
Although it was a good thing that the beast-control contract that made it very uncomfortable was terminated, Zhou Lu's motivation for doing so made Sha very confused. Zhou Lu said very seriously: "Respect for a loyal spiritual beast."
Okay... Mainly because Zhou Lu felt that Sha's ability was too limited and did not meet his needs, so Made a smooth favor.
Of course, although the beast control contract between Zhou Lu and Sha has been terminated, the official estimates that there will be a new deal with Sha.
As for whether Sha will become the spiritual pet of the official beast master in order to protect the royal tomb in the future, or whether he will enter the Invalides and become a quasi-god who is ready to help, it all depends on the official's negotiation skills.
Zhou Lu and Sha had just finished talking when Manman flew over happily.
"How was it? Did you gain anything?" Zhou Lu asked with a smile when he saw Manman so happy.
Manman was very excited: "Hmm~! I have learned a lot of knowledge that I didn't know before, which must be of great use to my mother."
"Such a discovery will also be of benefit to Qiudao Mu. Does it mean anything?”
“A mother’s strength is closely related to the amount of knowledge she possesses,” Manman said seriously, “The more knowledge a mother has, the greater her power can be.”
Hearing this, Zhou Lu became even more curious about Qiu Daomu's strength.
Manman continued to talk endlessly about this great discovery.
This is indeed the royal tomb of the Ruian Kingdom. The history recorded in the above-ground buildings and the life story of the tomb owner are enough to make human archeology leap forward a million years.
Zhou Lu, who is not an archaeologist, just listens to these.
Due to the discovery of Shahe Wang's tomb, the mission of this pioneering army changed on the spot.
Xu Dalong immediately asked his beast master to pass on his discovery this time.
Soon, more pioneering troops came to this desert.
According to the opinions above, Xu Dalong did not choose to open the royal tomb.
Official archaeological operations will only open historical mausoleums if the tombs are proven to be damaged. Otherwise, they rely on professional spiritual pets to enter and investigate.
Soon, Zhou Lu met these professional archaeologists.
They summoned their own spiritual pets, and they were all ghost pets.
This kind of disembodied spiritual pet can transmit information from the underground of the tomb without destroying real objects. It is indeed a powerful helper for archaeological workers.
With the help of these ghost pets, the exploration of the royal tomb began.
After confirming that these humans would not tear down the tomb of their master, Sha, who was originally resistant, finally gave in.
Although it always feels that this kind of exploration is an offense to the soul of its master, it currently has no ability to stop it.
But then I thought about it. It must be a good thing for this guy who likes to show off that his master has left his name in history again after millions of years.
According to Sha's understanding of his master, if this guy knew that he was being treated like this after being dead for so many years, he would definitely kick over the coffin board and drag these archaeologists to "take pictures."
In fact, at this point, Zhou Lu's mission has been completed.
However, he did not choose to leave immediately. Instead, he consolidated Hanabi's achievements in this desert with the help of Crescent Moon.
Curing the desert with plants, Hanabi can legitimately own a large flower field.
Crescent Moon reincarnated into a cloud, using its own ability to guide the accumulation of water vapor, and eventually it rained on the desert, nourishing these newly surviving branches.
With the efforts of Getsuga and Hanabi, these branches survived 80% to 90% in the desert environment.
In order to expand the scale of its flower fields, Hanabi also took advantage of this opportunity and continued to expand tirelessly.
This scene happened to be in the eyes of the frontline reporters who came after hearing the news.
They are not here for Hanahu's desert control, but mainly for the discovery of the royal tomb.
This is something that officials have never stopped doing.
New mineral deposits, new spiritual beasts, or new historical discoveries like now, once they appear, the officials will quickly let the media report them.
The main purpose of this is to let people know that it is necessary to explore such unknown secrets.
After all, if people's hearts are wandering, even if the official can forcefully promote many things, they often won't have very good results.
Hanabi's method of controlling the desert is simple and crude, but extremely effective.
Zhou Lu originally thought that these reporters would write some praising reports.
The next day, I learned from Xu Dalong, who couldn't help but laugh, that after these reporters returned, they wrote a report criticizing Zhou Lu for destroying the desert environment.
This immediately left Zhou Lu speechless.
It’s okay to say that this desert originally existed.
But this desert was created by the sand protecting the royal tombs over the years.
I thought to myself, this is not a natural desert, so why is it destroying the desert environment?
"Just get used to it, get used to it." Xu Dalong patted Zhou Lu on the shoulder and said.
“You know the media.” Lin Kexing also supported, “For these guys, traffic is their parents. They deliberately conceal some information for the sake of traffic, thereby guiding the entire report to the most barrage. The direction is a normal operation. "
Although Xu Dalong didn't know the purpose of Zhou Lu going so hard and thankless to plant grass in the desert, it was definitely a good thing for the pioneering army.
If this place becomes a new oasis in the future due to the flower planting and renovation, then the mining work here should not be too difficult, at least it will be better than facing the sky full of yellow sand all day long. Much more.
"After graduating in the future, are you interested in joining the Pioneer Army?" Xu Dalong suddenly asked.
After this time, he also recognized the ability of the person in front of him.
Zhou Lu looks young, but his strength cannot be underestimated.
The spiritual pet on his body is not only Hanabi, but the spiritual pet named Yueya is also very powerful.
At least Xu Dalong didn't think that his quasi-god pet could make it rain on the desert so easily and freely.
"Of course I'm interested." Zhou Lu was planning to get some information about the immortal ruins from the pioneering army to make adequate preparations for Hua Huo's growth, "especially exploring those immortal ruins."
"How do you feel about the immortal ruins?" Interested?"
"Very interested!"
Xu Dalong immediately smiled and said: "That's just right, I will be transferred to the S3011 secret realm in a few days, and there is an ancient city in the fairyland that needs to be explored and rated. , I wonder if you are interested?”
