Chapter 304 The Battle of Divine Beasts
Soon, the eight contestants participating in the selection competition came to the scene one after another.
Except Le Xiaoxi, other beast masters came to the scene.
Based on this alone, Le Xiaoxi is actually not suitable to be the beast master of Qiudao Mu.
Because of the importance of Qiudao Wood in the modern beast control system, its beast control master often has to serve as an image ambassador.
Just like King Yuan Tian before him, he needed to go to various colleges to give speeches and publicity.
As a new star who has risen at the speed of light in recent months, Zhou Lu is also the youngest fifth-level beast master present, and is naturally the most dazzling presence among the group.
But even he cannot completely cover up the charm of these beast masters.
We are all geniuses who have cultivated mythical beasts at a young age. Unless there is a real fight, no one will be convinced.
In a sense, many of them don’t actually have a great desire to become a Qiudao wood beast master. Although this may indeed be the most prestigious position in the real world, as a genius Their aloofness makes them often prefer to contract the spiritual beasts they cultivate or capture.
Zhou Lu never thought that there would be so many young fifth-level beast masters in this world.
And many of them are civilians. They gradually grew up by joining the official beast master army and eventually trained their initial spiritual pets into divine beasts.
It must be said that the efforts of the founding fathers were not in vain.
Even though more than a thousand years have passed, in the beast-controlling era, various aristocratic families have gradually begun to control promotion resources. However, because the government still firmly controls the system of the beast-controlling academy, civilians still Through personal efforts and own talents, one can reach the same position as those children from aristocratic families.
Even if it takes a lot more effort, at least it is not hopeless.
Moreover, with the great purge caused by the Fairy Kingdom incident, beast-controlling families in various places ushered in a major reshuffle.
Although human nature dictates that new aristocratic families will inevitably appear in the future, there is no doubt that a new era has slowly begun.
Listening to Ye Qingyu, the authorities have also become aware of some of the problems existing in humanity.
Because there is no clear foreign enemy, many people feel very confused, and then they will try some weird things to show their uniqueness.
The praise of immortals on the Internet is probably due to boredom.
To put it simply, there has been peace for too long, and many young people born in peaceful times simply do not know that this peace is hard-won.
There is a saying that really makes sense.
A truly successful revolution will make their descendants doubt the necessity of revolution.
So the official plan is to gradually release the unopened secret realms that the Pioneer Army has initially confirmed to be safe, and then guide the beast masters to explore the secret realms through various methods.
But these have nothing to do with Zhou Lu.
He is actually not the kind of person who likes to take risks.
If he hadn't known that a powerful enemy was waiting for him in the future - now it seemed that this powerful enemy was most likely to be Mengyu Huaxian - Zhou Lu would have planned to lie down and die.
The only thing he can't figure out now is how Mengyu Huaxian created a system and passed it on to his past self.
Thinking of this, Zhou Lu looked at the Qiudao tree not far away.
If what Senior Ouyang Xiao told him about space agitation was correct, then the disaster that destroyed the unknown civilization was most likely the bubble that was moved away by the Seeking Tree.
This also means that Qiudao Mu has the ability to transfer something, and it can be very abstract something, to the past.
But judging from the current situation, Zhou Lu couldn't figure out why Qiudao Mu would do this.
Could it be that what you have done has changed the future?
Maybe in the original timeline, Hanabi really became the Great Demon God. In order to avoid such a future, Qiudaomu made a system and leaned over himself.
The moment he obtained the system, the future changed. Hanabi did not degenerate into a terrifying demon, so the future also changed?
Don't tell me, there is some truth to this speculation.
It was precisely because of the awakening of the system that I began to work hard to become stronger, which led to the rapid changes in the subsequent trajectory.
At the beginning, the system could give itself some instructions, but later on it was difficult for the system to generate event-based tasks because its behavior trajectory had completely deviated from the system's known future.
Just like Xu Wuhu and Li Yi, although Zhou Lu still has interactions with them, it is difficult to see how they can further help him.
Myself and Hanabi's growth rate is too fast, and they have already left each other far behind.
While Zhou Lu was thinking wildly, the selection contest had officially begun.
This competition does not have any gorgeous opening ceremony or opening performance.
Because there is no need at all.
Just the duel between the youngest fifth-level beast masters is enough to attract a large number of viewers waiting in front of the screen to watch.
No doubt, this is the official showing off their muscles.
Among the eight beast masters participating in the competition, including Zhou Lu, they all have more or less connections with the official.
Shen Hu is an officer of the Pioneering Army, Le Xiaoxi is the captain of the nursing team, Zhou Lu is the official disaster investigator, and the rest are from the Research Institute, the Ministry of Mining, and the Ministry of Transportation. All kinds of things.
It’s not that the beast-controlling family is unworthy and doesn’t have any young talents.
In fact, beast control is a game of resources. The party with more resources will naturally have the first-mover advantage in the beast control profession.
There are also many talented young people in the beast-controlling family, and many of them have become fifth-level beastmasters under the age of forty.
However, as the Fairy Kingdom incident spread, many of them were no longer trusted, so they were not included in the official selection list.
“This is the first time I know that there can be so many fifth-level beast masters.” Zhou Lu said sincerely as he watched the lottery ceremony on the stage.
"How much? If other people knew your evaluation, they would go crazy." Qiudaomu sat on Zhou Lu's shoulders and smiled.
Now it actually does two things at once.
The main body is standing on the platform above, presiding over the lottery ceremony, but Manman's clone sitting on Zhou Lu's shoulder does not delay the conversation with Zhou Lu at all.
"You have to know that there are only a total of 103 fifth-level beastmasters in the human race now, and this is based on the total human population of 4.6 billion." Qiudaomu talked with Zhou Lu, "You actually I also think there are many fifth-level beast masters... You are really a pure survivor."
Qiu Daomu's complaints made Zhou Lu slightly embarrassed.
Fortunately, the start of the game alleviated this awkward atmosphere.
Only then did Zhou Lu take a look at his lottery results.
My first opponent was Wang Qian, a fifth-level beast master from the mining department, and the only fifth-level beast master in this department.
By the way, because many beast masters from aristocratic families were excluded, the official team actually selected players from many supporting departments in order to compile a list of players. Wang Qian is the only fifth-level beastmaster in the mining department. His job is actually to direct his spiritual pets to carry out mining operations in the mines in the secret realm.
Due to the nature of spiritual pets, the mines that Wang Qian is responsible for are often the most dangerous mines.
But as the saying goes, the greater the risk, the greater the gain.
With his fearless courage and the intimate bond with his spiritual pet, he gradually grew into a fifth-level beast master in this environment.
Of course, don't think that he will hate the authorities because he works in the most dangerous environment all year round.
Actually, if you want to say who is the most loyal to the official at the scene, it is probably Wang Qian.
As a beast master from a poor family, Wang Qian almost relied on the official student aid program to complete a complete set of compulsory education and completed the beast master academy.
The so-called choice to work in the most dangerous mine is also because the official salary for this job is enough.
High wages, high benefits, and high bonuses every year, all of which you can get with just hard work and courage. For Wang Qian, this is a career that he simply cannot refuse.
And in the process of his growth, help from the official has never stopped, and 60% of the materials for the evolution of his spiritual pet were provided by the official.
But...
Zhou Lu glanced at the Qiudao wood on the stage.
If the official is really so great, then it is completely impossible for the beast-controlling family and modern immortals to appear.
Wang Qian’s experience is a microcosm of many beast masters under the official system.
The one who really stood behind them was Qiudao Mu.
Anyone who is a beast master will trade with the general fairies for various reasons.
Qiudaomu will accurately determine what level these beast masters are at and what kind of help they need based on the information fed back by the general-knowledge fairies.
And in this way, it effectively screens out the talents who are expected to become fifth-level beast masters from the crowd, and focuses on cultivating them.
From this aspect, the more than one hundred fifth-level beast masters of mankind at that time, and the more than one hundred newly born divine beasts were all related to Qiudaomu.
This lonely pet, whose master had passed away, was silently guarding human civilization and the human era created by its master in his own way.
Because of this, even if it was Qiu Dao Mu who came up with the system in the end, Zhou Lu couldn't think of blaming the other party.
Thinking like this, the first battle has already begun.
Shen Hu came on stage with his own cat.
With the cat's excited cry, it released its restraints.
Just like Hanabi deliberately shrunk her body to match Shu Lu, Nanako also deliberately shrunk her body on weekdays.
However, it is not a huge type among the mythical beasts. When fully unfolded, it is only more than two meters tall, which is in sharp contrast to the huge Kunpeng opposite.
The washing cat is a water-based spiritual pet.
I saw it tearing apart the earth as soon as it took action, and a large amount of water rushed towards Kunpeng high in the sky.
The duel between the two divine beasts, even if it was a duel with limited strength, still caused changes in the world in the blink of an eye.
If Qiudao Mu hadn't maintained the illusion, their battle might have affected the territory of the entire state.
So Zhou Lu always felt that sometimes the battles between mythical beasts were not entertaining.
Because if you observe it from a human perspective, all you can see are scenes of changes in the world and various cataclysms.
Reality is not like watching a movie. You have no overall perspective at all. All you can see is all kinds of huge waves overwhelming the sky, lightning and thunder in the sky, and then with a bird song, countless tornadoes It directly rolled up the huge waves.
If Zhou Lu hadn't turned on empathy and connected with Hanabi's perception, he might not even be able to see both sides of the battle.
Zhou Lu doubted that the battle between the mythical beasts would really have any live broadcast effect?
In addition to the shaking of the camera, can the audience see any valuable pictures?
However, Zhou Lu looked down upon the humans here.
Human technological photography equipment cannot fully capture the duel between mythical beasts.
But spiritual beasts can!
A row of lonely croaks sat silently in the stands, transmitting what they saw to the live broadcast processing center.
The live broadcast processing center will use technical means to process and splice the images seen by Lone Gua Gua, and then live broadcast the entire process of fighting the mythical beasts in the images.
In a sense, this kind of duel between mythical beasts is actually the least on-site experience.
Because only on live TV can you completely see the entire battle process.
Many of the beastmasters at the scene showed bitter expressions when faced with this battle scene.
Except for Le Xiaoxi and Zhou Lu, everyone else has not learned empathy, so naturally they cannot watch the battle process by linking the perception of their respective mythical beasts.
This makes it impossible for them to collect intelligence about the battle.
Fortunately, many of them know that the live broadcast is complete and are watching the live broadcast on their mobile phones at this time.
So, a strange scene appeared.
Obviously everyone is already at the scene, but they still need to watch the whole process of the game by watching the live broadcast on their mobile phones.
Zhou Lu soon noticed this phenomenon, so he followed suit.
Hello, don’t tell me, the live broadcast picture is even more complete and detailed than what Hanabi saw.
The scouring cats are very powerful.
After all, it is a kind of spiritual beast that is good at fighting.
Although the Kunpeng on the opposite side is larger and can set off huge storms to resist the attacks of the washing cats, as the mythical beast of the transportation department, it has always been mainly responsible for various transportation tasks. .
Even if you participate in a battle, you do so by sending combatants to the scene.
Although it also has good combat power, that is compared to other spiritual beasts with lower levels than it.
Facing a divine beast of the same level, Kunpeng seemed very clumsy.
Not to mention that panning cats are also agile hunters.
Although it relied on its rough skin and thick flesh to support it for a while, it was eventually defeated quickly.
After washing the cats, it’s Zhou Lu’s game.
