Chapter 201 Preparing to Evolve
Wu Xiaoqing was silent for a while after listening to Zhou Lu's story.
"No, I don't trust you to investigate this kind of thing alone." Wu Xiaoqing said with certainty, "I don't know if that guy can be contacted. He has quite a network in Xinyue. I will definitely be able to help you. "
That guy...
Zhou Lu immediately understood that Wu Xiaoqing should be talking about her senior brother Ouyang Xiao.
"There is also the matter of Sister Qingyu." Zhou Lu also added.
Wu Xiaoqing nodded with deep understanding: "Yes, yes, my girlfriend is being targeted. It would be shameful not to come forward."
Said, Wu Xiaoqing He took out his cell phone.
Probably trying to contact Ouyang Xiao.
I don’t know if it succeeded in the end.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhou Lu stood up and said goodbye to Wu Xiaoqing.
Asking for protection from outsiders would not last long, so he still had to improve his strength as soon as possible.
This time, the secret realm Zhou Lu chose was the secret realm of mountains and rivers that he had been to before.
The Secret Land of Mountains and Rivers, as the name suggests, is the world of mountains.
Mountains, canyons, caves...
Barrier lakes, waterfalls, underwater caves...
There are so many hidden places here.
Many caves have been uninhabited for a long time. Only the pioneering army entered them at the beginning, and few people set foot in them after that.
Between mountains and rivers, there are a large number of rare spiritual beasts in caves.
Every year, scholars discover new species in the secret places of mountains and rivers.
However, a truly powerful spiritual beast would not limit its habitat to a small cave.
But as long as it is a spiritual beast, it always has extraordinary power.
Even if you are not strong, you may be killed at first sight because you don’t understand.
For this reason, Zhou Lu also made as complete preparations as possible.
In fact, as long as Benben is around, Zhou Lu basically doesn’t need to worry about things like killing at first sight.
No matter what kind of spiritual beast attacked them, as long as it had a desire to attack Zhou Lu and his party, the attack was destined to fall on Benben.
Since we have to choose a place with few people, we naturally cannot go to a safe zone.
Zhou Lu teleported to the selected teleportation node according to the plan.
Then he was confused.
Looking at the vast mountains in front of him, Zhou Lu blinked doubtfully, then looked down at the map.
Gan!
The mountains here are all similar in size, and there are no strict boundaries between southeast, northwest, and southeast in the secret realm. Where am I going?
Zhou Lu squatted near the node and looked at the map for a long time.
During this process, some beast masters came to this teleportation node one after another.
Everyone’s performance was surprisingly consistent.
First he was confused, then he knelt down and looked at the map.
Zhou Lu followed his guess and climbed down from the mountain peak.
Not long after, he lost his way in the vast mountains again.
After Zhou Lu realized that he was lost again, he decisively gave up the struggle.
Anyway, my goal is to find a secret place for Hanabi to evolve, and it doesn’t have to be the cave I chose.
Just walk far enough from the teleportation node.
Although Zhou Lu was lost, there was actually no problem in returning to the teleportation node.
Ever since Hanabi was first taught, every time Hanabi comes to a strange place, she will use her branches, leaves and vines to mark her along the way.
When it is time to turn back, you can quickly find the way back by looking for your own breath.
But soon, Zhou Lu came to another question:
This mountain road is really difficult to walk.
In just a short journey, he had already climbed five mountains.
The surrounding environment has gradually lost all traces of human activities. If it weren't for the fact that Zhou Lu's physique had been permanently strengthened by the [Dragon Talisman] by constantly brushing his attributes every day, he would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago.
As expected, it is impossible not to get a mount.
Zhou Lu sat on a big rock to rest, raised his head and focused his gaze on the towering cliff not far away.
Secret areas like Yueshan Ruins are not bad, because they are not large, so they can be easily explored without relying on mounts.
But in a huge secret realm like the Mountain Secret Realm, if you don’t have a mount, you’re really going to die.
Zhou Lu was not sure how big the movement of Hanabi's evolution was.
So in order to stay away from the crowds as much as possible, it’s better to walk a little further.
On the cliff, between the clouds, Zhou Lu could vaguely see the shadows of several tits.
Looking at the size, it should be able to be used as a means of transportation.
"Hua Huo." Zhou Lu said to Hua Huo, "Let's get a mount over."
"Yo~!" Hua Huo patted the leaves happily.
The process of capturing the mount was simpler than Zhou Lu imagined.
It was still the fishing method that Hanabi was most familiar with.
But this time Hanabi did not let Benben use it as bait. In the eyes of these birds, its flying branches were obviously more attractive.
After successfully luring a tit down, the fireworks were revealed.
Poison ivy ejected from the flying branch, directly poisoning the greedy tit.
Then just like last time, Zhou Lu used the ability of the beast master to sign a temporary beast control contract with Ti Que.
This chickadee is the second-order form of the chickadee.
Although the body size has become much larger than that of the small tit, it is still a bit difficult to ride.
Fortunately, it can still catch Zhou Lu and fly in the sky, and the speed is not too slow.
Coupled with his gentle personality, Zhou Lu is actually very satisfied.
After feeding the tits red leaf bracts and a bottle of healing potion, Zhou Lu rested briefly on the spot.
While resting, Xiao Caocao seemed to have some wonderful idea, weaving something with his own vines.
When he was about to set off, Zhou Lu got an idea.
This is a vine woven basket.
It’s very big and can fit the mainland.
Hanabi was probably worried that she would be injured if she was caught by the tit, so she weaved such a basket.
Xiao Caocao let the chickadee hold the basket and fly in the air, and used the vines to lead Zhou Lu into the basket.
Hanabi did not sit inside with Zhou Lu, but climbed onto Titmouse's body.
After using the [Lilliput] skill to shrink herself, Hanabi was indeed able to ride on the tit.
That’s good, Hanabi has a wider perspective and can avoid some dangers in advance.
With Zhou Lu’s order, the tit flapping its wings and took off.
Hanabi's hat flipped up in the wind, and she had to hold her hat down with vines.
"Woo——! Woo——! Wu——!"
Facing the mountain wind, Hanabi made a strange noise with the leaf gramophone on her chest.
Although it is weird, it has a hint of lightness and freedom.
The tit seemed to be infected by the sound of the fireworks, and it also called a few times.
Hanabi heard the chirping of the chickadee and thought it was hungry, so she dug out some food from the Tsukiyama Cauldron at the tail and handed it to the chickadee.
The tits were a little confused, but they readily accepted the food in front of them.
The group of people flew happily towards the mountains.
Fly to a destination that even Zhou Lu doesn’t know where it is.
