Chapter 64 Encounter (please read it~!!)
Seeing this glowing mushroom, Zhou Lu seemed to feel some kind of terror from the bottom of his heart, which made his scalp tighten.
After a few seconds, he realized that this was not fear...
"Hanabi...don't be so scared, you are safe now!" Zhou Lu knocked helplessly. The vines clutched Hanabi's scalp.
It is a strange thing to have grass growing on your head.
It’s even more strange that the grass that grows out is still afraid of heights.
Hua Huo, who had never flown so high before, obviously didn't believe it and still pulled Zhou Lu's hair and refused to let go.
Zhou Lu had to seriously think about his future hair volume.
You can’t just do what Li Yi did and just shave your hair, right?
Speaking of which, Hanabi didn't have the habit of secreting mucus randomly when frightened.
While Zhou Lu was thankful, he also curiously asked: "Why does this mushroom... glow?"
"It's nearby." Wu Xiaoqing came back to her senses and said with a serious expression, "The guy who attacked and killed the professor It's nearby."
"What?" Zhou Lu was also slightly surprised.
At this time, Wu Xiaoqing had regained her composure.
"Xiao Hei, use Breeze to explore." Wu Xiaoqing gave an order to her Black Crowned Eagle.
The black-crested eagle emitted a crisp bird song, and an undetectable air current emanated from it.
As the air flow fluctuates into the distance, all objects along the way are marked by the black-crested eagle.
"Could it be the same spirit beast?"
"No. The Ghost Heart Purple Mushroom records the breath of the spirit beast, just like human fingerprints, even if they are of the same species The spirit beasts will be different.”
Wu Xiaoqing closed her eyes and began to synchronize her consciousness with the black crowned eagle.
This is the racial skill of the Eastern Black-crested Eagle.
In this way, Wu Xiaoqing can see the units marked by the Black Crowned Eagle.
Wu Xiaoqing quickly found her target among these marks.
"How could..." Wu Xiaoqing frowned slightly.
“What’s wrong?”
"That spirit beast is in the Pioneering Army's spirit beast patrol team." Wu Xiaoqing said thoughtfully, "And it's just above the Suzaku Temple."
Standing at this position, Zhou Lu could already vaguely see it The Suzaku Temple.
It is said to be a temple, but it is actually a ruins.
In the center of the ruins is a broken statue, depicting the legendary mythical beast Suzaku.
Above the statue, there is a group of patrolling bird spirit beasts. They are all spiritual pets from the pioneering army.
The criminal marked by Wu Xiaoqing was among these patrolling spiritual pets.
“You mean, the murderer is from the Pioneer Army?” Zhou Lu was shocked.
There won’t be any conspiracy involved, right?
"No matter where he is from, that bastard is the one who taught me." Wu Xiaoqing took a deep breath and said calmly, "I can't let the person who killed him go unpunished."
< br>"Let's go there first. I'll find an opportunity to get close to the spiritual pet." Wu Xiaoqing said to Zhou Lu, "Then use the Ghost Heart Purple Mushroom to find the real murderer through the contract between the spiritual pet and the beast master."
"You need my help." Zhou Lu took off Hanabi from his head, "Maybe Hanabi can help you put the ghost heart purple mushroom on it."
Hanabi used the vine to give herself a thumbs up.
"Let's explore the situation over there first." Wu Xiaoqing has now regained her composure.
Looking at Wu Xiaoqing who was thinking, Zhou Lu's thoughts became a little wandering.
For a so-called villain, Wu Xiaoqing was so concerned about avenging him.
What about his father? Wu Xiaoqing told Zhou Lu more than once that Zhou Minghai was the mentor who changed her life to her. If Zhou Minghai had not taken advantage of her, she would not have achieved what she has now.
So, what kind of investigation did Wu Xiaoqing do after her father died?
Has she ever examined her father’s body through the Ghost Heart Purple Mushroom?
You know, Wu Xiaoqing was present when her father died suddenly.
In Zhou Lu's reverie during those days of time travel, this senior was even a villain.
Just as he was thinking about it, Wu Xiaoqing should have brought Zhou Lu to the vicinity of the Suzaku Temple.
This is a large area of ruins, and special certificates are required to enter.
However, Wu Xiaoqing happened to have the certificate issued by Xu Yilong, so she was quickly allowed to enter the ruins.
Suzaku dung is located on the southeast side of the ruins.
At this time, a large pit had been dug there, and the blood-red soil was exposed.
Hanabi seemed a little excited as she felt the smell of Suzaku's dung.
Wu Xiaoqing took back the Black Crowned Eagle to the Beast Control Card and summoned the Curse Frog again.
At this time, there were already many beast masters at the scene.
They are all researchers from major beast control academies and research institutions.
Everyone was digging in the red dirt in the pit.
Wu Xiaoqing saw a few familiar people among these people, so she went up to chat.
These people may not know that this is Suzaku dung soil, but through their own research, they found that this soil is very beneficial to the cultivation of plant-based spiritual beasts, so they plan to take more samples back for experiments.
Wu Xiaoqing was not surprised by this, because she also came here for this reason.
The collection work was actually very smooth.
As Wu Xiaoqing's assistant, Zhou Lu put the fireworks in his arms into the pit.
As soon as Hanabi touched the red soil, she showed an intoxicated expression.
It seems that the land in front of it is paradise to it.
Out of instinct, it began to use vines to dig out the red soil and put it into its volute.
At the same time, Zhou Lu and Wu Xiaoqing observed the surrounding environment.
This place is still in the blockade area of the Pioneering Army and cannot be entered without a permit.
Around the ruins of the Suzaku Temple, you can see many beastmasters wearing Pioneer Army uniforms.
The bird spiritual pets patrolling the air come from them. ,
The bird spirit beast discovered by Wu Xiaoqing is a second-level spirit beast named Thunder Bird.
Its attack does look like a lightning strike.
If the attack is carried out during a thunderstorm, it is indeed difficult to detect.
But...this era is the era of beast control.
A professor at a college died of a lightning strike for no apparent reason. Didn’t they even take the most basic steps to eliminate attacks by spiritual beasts?
Even if the attack is like a lightning strike, the skill aura of the spirit beast is still difficult to hide for many reconnaissance spirit beasts.
Wu Xiaoqing seemed to smell a conspiracy.
Just like the death of Professor Zhou.
Similar to this time, Wu Xiaoqing actually still carries another ghost-hearted purple mushroom with her.
That came from Zhou Haiming’s body.
As Zhou Lu guessed, Wu Xiaoqing has never given up investigating the cause of the teacher's death.
But unlike this clear spiritual beast attack, Wu Xiaoqing did not even dare to let Zhou Lu know about it.
After all, what that mushroom pointed to was a type of person who should have perished in this world long ago.
