Chapter 286 Influence
Zhou Lu let Qi Lin go.
The moment Qi Lin appeared in front of him, he could no longer escape.
The micro-branch has already parasitized Qi Lin's body without anyone noticing.
The hidden racial skills awakened by various spiritual beasts in order to avoid natural enemies produced a very magical chemical reaction in Hanabi.
Qi Lin didn't even realize that he had been parasitized by Hanabi's branches.
Zhou Lu just watched Qi Lin leave.
"Did you forget to activate your skills just now?" Zhou Lu helplessly asked Hua Huo beside him.
As long as Hua Huo uses the concealment skill on the branch, Qi Lin will not be aware of his whereabouts the moment he climbs the wall.
"Isn't it the branch controlled by you, master?" Hua Huo expressed his disdain for Zhou Lu's behavior of passing the blame.
Um...
All right.
Sure enough, he still lacks combat experience.
Because Hanabi 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.
Hanabi's clones are iterating crazily in Qiudaomu's fantasy world.
According to Qiu Daomu's calculations, in just these few days, Hanabi's branches have accumulated more than three hundred years of combat experience.
And this number continues to grow.
Hanabi is like an AI that is constantly learning and iterating, and is crazily accumulating practical experience.
And because they are clones, these accumulated combat experiences are even serious life-and-death battles.
Zhou Lu is looking forward to seeing what kind of combat power Hanabi can show after adding these battle experiences.
Of course, the most important thing right now is the mess in front of us.
Judging from the conversation between Qi Lin and Tian Buhuo, it seems that the core personnel of the Immortal Kingdom have successfully evacuated.
But as long as he follows Qi Lin's traces, it shouldn't be difficult to find these people.
While talking, Hanabi and Zhou Lu finally arrived at the scene.
Similar to what he sensed through empathy, the high temperature of the flame made Zhou Lu feel scorching.
This was probably no ordinary flame. Even if it burned down the entire house, it showed no intention of extinguishing it.
However, Hanabi acted quickly and rescued the dead immortal body from the fire.
What surprised Zhou Lu was that many of them were familiar faces. They were all big figures he had seen on TV or online news.
He is actually an immortal?
Whenever Hanabi brought out a new corpse, Zhou Lu couldn't help but sigh.
He even saw a nationally famous animal master star inside.
A beast master who set a winning streak in tournaments turned out to be an immortal?
This is indeed an ironic thing.
"This is normal." Qiudaomu was not surprised by this. "During the battle to destroy the immortals, many immortals disguised themselves as beast masters and sneaked into our team to cause damage."
In addition to the unique skills of a beast master, such as adding spiritual pets to the beast master card and other skills that work with spiritual pets, the essence of a beast master is to interact and fight with spiritual pets.
Among the immortals, there are actually similar schools. They would snatch the children of mythical beasts and train them from an early age. When they grow up, these cubs will be used as mounts to assist them in their battles.
If you don't show your super strength and just command your pets to fight, the performance is indeed no different from that of a beast master.
This is also a sign that many immortals feel that they are superior to beast masters.
However, the immortal disguised in this way will still have some flaws that are difficult to cover up.
For example, when they command their spiritual pets to fight, the communication with their spiritual pets is not smooth.
And the most critical thing is that the evolution speed of spiritual pets is almost the natural speed, which does not show the acceleration effect of beast masters on the evolution of spiritual pets.
Therefore, when an immortal pretends to be a beast master, he is often in his strongest state when he appears.
This was the case with the dead star beast master in front of him.
He is a beast master from a quasi-god family. He has inherited the status of his quasi-god pet when he appeared, and he has won a record-breaking winning streak with this quasi-god pet.
"You are clearly enjoying the glory of the times, but you still choose to betray."
"There is never a shortage of people like this among humans." Qiudaomu sneered, "You just see too few of them."
"Hey, that's not necessarily true." In Zhou Lu's previous life, he had seen many people on the Internet who ate the country's food but hated it.
Compared with the corpse at their feet, they just lacked an opportunity.
They were already dead anyway, Zhou Lu didn't intend to waste it, and nodded to Hanabi.
Amid Hanabi's cheers, these unlucky guys instantly became Hanabi's fertilizer.
"But even so, Hanabi's growth is still not enough." Zhou Lu looked at Hanabi who was frantically absorbing growth and showed a worried expression.
If it were in the past, when Zhou Lu showed such urgency, Qiu Daomu would comfort him so that Zhou Lu didn't have to be so anxious and there was still a lot of time left for him.
But this time, Qiudaomu was silent.
"Your silence makes me even more scared." Zhou Lu said with a smile.
Qiudaomu heard Zhou Lu's words and smiled bitterly: "You are testing me, right?"
No wonder Zhou Lu would express his anxiety in front of him from time to time.
The power of fate gives Qiudaomu the ability to touch the future.
Most of the time, Qiudao Mu, who knows part of the future, will calm Zhou Lu down when he expresses his anxiety.
But when Qiu Dao Mu does not show such behavior, it means that the future that Qiu Dao Mu sees should have undergone some adverse changes.
Zhou Lu could judge the general direction of the situation based on Qiudao Mu's attitude.
Obviously destiny cannot be described.
But human beings always get information about their destiny from themselves in various roundabout ways.
That was the case then, and it is still the case now.
Zhou Lu chuckled and said: "Don't worry, I plan to go to the ancient city of the fairy world again to gather the growth needed for the evolution of fireworks."
After a pause, Zhou Lu continued: "If it's not enough, I will also let Hanabi try to evolve."
Hearing Zhou Lu's words, Qiu Daomu was slightly surprised: "If you don't grow enough, the success rate of evolution will not be high."
"Success rate... Do you think the success rate of this evolution is related to the luck of the beast master or the luck of the spirit beast?" Zhou Lu asked for no reason.
To his surprise, Qiudaomu replied without hesitation: "It has something to do with both. The beast master's luck value will be a high blessing for this, so the spirit beast that became the beast master's spiritual pet evolved." The success rate is very high.”
"Huh?" Zhou Lu didn't expect Qiudao Mu to actually answer this question.
Seemingly guessing the reason for Zhou Lu's surprise, Qiudaomu said speechlessly: "This is already a relatively normal project for your human researchers to study. I even have papers here 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 hearing about it? ”
A drop of cold sweat instantly flowed down Zhou Lu's forehead: "Forget it, forget it."
I originally thought that my senior's research project was weird enough, but I didn't expect that there would be something even weirder.
no! What kind of subject could only a perverted researcher come up with!
"So does it have any impact?" Zhou Lu still couldn't help asking.
Damn it! I really care about this result!
Qiudao Mu Sheng said in despair: "I haven't seen any strong correlation statistically."
"Ah...it doesn't matter?" "You're not expecting anything, are you?" Qiu Daomu showed a perverted expression.
Zhou Lu coughed twice and quickly changed the subject: "So, as long as the beast master's luck value is increased, the success rate of evolution can be increased?"
"Theoretically, that's the case."
In fact, in the wild, even if a spiritual beast reaches the peak of its own level, if it collects all the materials to evolve, the success rate is only about 80%, which is far from the astonishing 99% success rate of a spiritual pet. Rate.
And those who have not grown to the peak level, the probability of evolution is even lower.
"But it's still a bit difficult to increase the luck of a beast master." Qiu Daomu looked at Zhou Ludao.
Although it felt that Zhou Lu should still have some ideas.
"Let's see then." Zhou Lu looked at Xu Fangfang and his group who were coming in the distance.
The fire here has attracted official attention.
Xu Fangfang, as the strongest official beast master in Suizhou, naturally came here immediately.
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 been involved in the upper-class social circles. He had a deeper understanding of the identities of these people on the ground than Zhou Lu, and it was inevitable that he would be frightened.
"What happened here?!" When he spoke, his voice could not help but tremble.
If the situation here is spread, the whole world will be shaken like never before.
Many people here are the heirs of rulers of certain key industries.
Compared to Xu Fangfang, Zhou Lu seemed very calm: "They are all immortals and belong to the fairyland. Find your boss quickly. I'm afraid you can't handle this matter."
The next day, Zhou Lu woke up from his sleep, turned on his mobile phone and browsed 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 phone, it is not difficult to see that this matter is by no means as simple as it seems.
Zhou Lu picked up his phone and called Ye Qingyu back.
As soon as the bell rang, the phone was connected.
"What did you do last night?!" Ye Qingyu asked in a low voice.
The sound of the meeting can be faintly heard from the other party's background sound.
"Qi Lin did it." Zhou Lu said, "He disguised himself as Ouyang Xiao and lured me away. When I found the Tian family's private residence, it was just like you know."
"Is Xiaoxiao okay?"
"It's okay." Zhou Lu lied.
He hasn't gone to Ouyang Xiao yet.
But if Wu Xiaoqing didn't react, it meant that the mushrooms on Ouyang Xiao's body had not withered, and there was no danger to his life.
Today he is preparing to go to the place Qi Lin said to find the other party.
"This matter is serious." Ye Qingyu said with a headache.
"I can see that many of them are heirs of the beast-controlling family, right? It seems that many of them control key industries." Zhou Lu recalled the list compiled with Xu Fangfang, and his scalp went numb just thinking about it.
This batch of dead immortals are basically from big families.
There are those who control world shipping, and there are those who control the reproduction of spiritual pets.
Clothing, food, housing, transportation...
Almost every industry you can think of has been affected.
This is the era of beast masters. Basically, all industries are inseparable from spiritual pets. They either need spiritual pets to provide abilities or raw materials.
As soon as the Tian family incident broke out and it was confirmed that all the corpses present were immortals, it meant that these beast-controlling families were no longer trustworthy.
Thinking that they were involved in so many industries, if Zhou Lu were the leader, he would probably have a headache.
"I can help if necessary." Zhou Lu could only say this.
He's still not good at arguing with people.
"You can't do anything like this..."
"It's okay to send those who oppose it as fertilizer."
"Don't be so extreme."
"Okay, let's just kill them all."
"This is no different from being a flower fertilizer, right?" Ye Qingyu complained helplessly.
However, after being disturbed by Zhou Lu, his irritable mood dissipated a lot.
What Ye Qingyu didn't know was that Zhou Lu could actually do this - of course, assuming the interference of divine beasts was excluded.
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 too far from Suizhou.
Zhou Lu came here quickly with Hua Huo.
"I didn't expect there to be such barren mountains in the real world..." Looking at the surrounding environment, Zhou Lu couldn't help but murmured.
Thanks to humans' efforts to protect the natural environment in recent years, groups of wild spirit beasts have gradually appeared in the real world where the original natural spirit beast resources have been almost exhausted.
In just this short walk up the mountain, Hanabi caught many wild spiritual beasts.
They are generally not strong, and they are not afraid of people.
When he saw Zhou Lu, he looked like he was coming to ask for food.
After walking a long way into the mountains, Zhou Lu came to the place Qi Lin mentioned.
This should have been a cave originally.
But at this time, the entrance to the cave was blocked by stones.
"There is someone inside." Hanabi's root system has 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 who had never been masked before.
"Hey! It's little Zhou Lu~!" A beautiful kitten saw Zhou Lu and made a happy sound.
In memory, this kitten is Ouyang Xiao's spiritual pet, named Beaker.
Just the name of this spiritual pet makes it difficult for Zhou Lu to evaluate it.
Mao Mao looked at Zhou Lu, and his eyes seemed to turn into water: "Didn't you bring a cotton swab?"
Snap!
Before it finished speaking, Hanabi rolled up the cat with a vine.
"Meow~!!"
"Can I make it into a cat cake?" Hanabi said angrily.
Intuition tells it that when a cat says something like this, it is almost tantamount to seducing!
Zhou Lu's mouth twitched slightly.
The predecessor only did some necessary work on Beaker under the guidance of Ouyang Xiao...
This is also the reason why my predecessor didn't like Ouyang Xiao very much.
This guy's brain circuit is always weird.
