Chapter 225 Someone survives the tribulation! (4K)
Blue-striped giant octopus, a specialty of the secret island.
Although it was far less than those real giants, when Hanabi pulled it up from the sea and looked at the huge octopus that occupied almost the entire deck, everyone still fell into a brief silence. .
No.
The script in our imagination is to repel, right?
Why did you just drag the octopus up?
The octopus is obviously in a state of confusion.
I was just sitting in the sea, so where did this take me? Is this still the sea?
However, Hanabi obviously will not give the octopus sea monster any more time to understand the current situation.
Hanabi, who had already learned many seafood preparation techniques from books and video tutorials, couldn’t wait to see such material.
If the ship hadn't been sailing through a storm, it would have cooked a feast on the spot.
Zhou Lu had to stop Huo Huo from sharpening his sword.
At this time, ensuring the safety of the hull is the most important thing.
“This classmate.” At this moment, a beastmaster with the badge of Yizhou Beastmaster Academy on his chest ran up to Zhou Lu, “I want to make a contract with this spiritual pet. How many credits are you willing to sell?"
Zhou Lu was slightly startled when he heard the other party's question.
He was completely led astray by Hanabi just now. He subconsciously thought that this big octopus could only be used as food. He had no idea of selling it to other beast masters as spiritual pets.
In fact, similar things are not uncommon in the secret realm.
According to the unspoken rules of everyone in the secret realm, the right to dispose of the spiritual beast belongs to the beast master who defeats it.
Even the villains who tried to rob actually recognized this principle, otherwise they would not choose to rob.
As a sea monster that stalks the sea, the blue-striped giant octopus’s strength should not be underestimated, but it just happened to encounter Hanabi who punished it.
The beast master in front of me was not the only one who had similar thoughts.
After seeing someone get there first, many people turned their heads away with a sigh.
"Yes, yes." Zhou Lu did not refuse. After all, he did not include the blue-striped giant octopus in his contract list.
The deal was concluded quickly.
The other party gave Zhou Lu a large amount of credits based on the market price of the third-level spirit beast.
This was a thousand credits. The other party didn't have that many credits, so he had to borrow them on the ship to get enough.
For him, this debt is definitely heavy, but in exchange for having a third-level spiritual pet at the second-level beastmaster stage, it is definitely worth it!
Actually, this is a conscientious quotation given by Zhou Lu without any intention of haggling.
In fact, as a powerful spiritual pet in the sea, the price of the third-level blue-striped giant octopus may not be capped at two thousand credits in the auction house.
With the conclusion of the beast-controlling contract, the lucky person included this giant blue-striped octopus, which was still in a dazed state, into the beast-controlling card.
Immediately afterwards, he released it from the beast control card and threw it into the sea.
At this moment, the octopus sea monster finally understood his situation.
But when it thought of the horrible plant sharpening its knife, it suddenly felt that this ending was not so bad.
So he obeyed the orders of his new master and began to escort this lonely boat in the sea wholeheartedly.
With the escort of the giant octopus, they never encountered attacks from sea beasts along the way. The only things they had to face were storms and rough waves on the sea.
Amidst the turbulence, the ship sailed into the harbor of Dongshan Island.
Even if he didn’t need anyone else’s reminder, Zhou Lu had already seen the Storm Petrel hovering in the sky.
They are indeed the elves in the storm.
Under such a violent storm, he was still flying freely in the air, as if the strong wind that could break the trees did not exist at all.
Under the swirling storm petrels, the storm on Dongshan Island seems to be more violent.
Raindrops as big as broad beans hit people's faces like pebbles under the influence of wind.
If it weren’t for the wet rainwater that could be felt when he touched his face, Zhou Lu would have thought he had been hit by hail.
Hanabi used her rapid growth to quickly weave a mobile canopy around Zhou Lu, thus blocking the heavy rain from the outside.
But even so, just by hearing the sound of rain hitting the awning, Zhou Lu knew that this mission might not be completed.
It is a problem for him to get close to these storm petrels now.
Compared with Zhou Lu's comfort, others in the group were not so lucky.
As soon as they got off the boat, they were warmly received by Dafeng.
Someone just summoned his spiritual pets and tried to resist, but when he turned around, he found that all his spiritual pets had been blown away.
In comparison, Hanabi seems much more stable.
But even it avoided being shaken by strong winds by burying its roots firmly in the soil.
Fortunately, the safety teacher took action in time and saved a few unlucky guys who were blown away by the wind.
"You want to go in?" One of the teachers looked at Zhou Lu while settling the students and asked, "I'm afraid it will be more dangerous inside. Where is your safety officer?"
" I signed the application without asking the safety teacher to follow me. "Zhou Lu said, "Don't worry, teacher. I have no problem."
The other party looked at Zhou Lu deeply.
This kind of application seems to be only signed by students of Level 3 or above, right?
From this point of view, I am indeed meddling in my own business.
Looking at the unmoving posture of the student in front of me in the storm, I am afraid that he is not much weaker than himself in terms of strength.
As the safety teachers and students left the scene, the harbor that was lively just now was suddenly deserted again.
Due to the severity of the animal disaster, the people here have been completely evacuated.
It seems that the rewards offered by those big companies are not attractive enough.
Zhou Lu thought in his mind, and started to move towards the center of the storm under the protection of Hanabi.
Dongshan Island is a typical rainforest island, with the entire island covered by dense woods.
Among them, the three-fruit coconut trees unique to the secret island are the most numerous.
Many coconut trees have even transformed into extraordinary beings and become spiritual beasts.
As soon as we arrived at the forest, we entered Hanabi's home field.
Xiao Caocao skillfully took out various gifts and greeted the surrounding plants.
But soon, Hanabi came back frustrated.
Seeing Hanabi's helpless look, Zhou Lu was also shocked.
Do the plants in the secret island have any special habits? A grass-type succubus like Hanabi has no role to play here?
After turning on empathy and sharing his thoughts with Hanabi, Zhou Lu finally understood.
It's not that Hanabi's charm is gone.
But the previous experience has made the plants on this island suspicious.
According to Hanabi, a group of humans dressed as a scientific research expedition team came to this island before.
They deceived the plant spirit beasts on Dongshan Island on the pretext of helping to protect the island's ecology.
I don’t know what these people did on this island.
Soon after, a huge storm rose with Dongshan Island as the center.
The surrounding sea area was covered in an instant.
Although they are used to wind and rain, such strong winds are rare.
Many big trees failed to survive and fell in the strong wind.
These plant spirit beasts feel very friendly when they see Hanabi, but because Hanabi has a human next to her, they dare not trust her too much.
There are actually humans involved in this?
Zhou Lu immediately smelled the atmosphere of conspiracy. Something is wrong, absolutely something is wrong!
At this moment, Hanabi seemed to feel something.
The vines rolled up, and a green curtain blocked the front.
Bang!
Boom!
With two loud noises before and after, Hanabi's vine curtain firmly blocked this attack.
Because the team was attacked, Benben's newly learned damage tracking skill was triggered, and Hanabi immediately found the source of the attack.
Zhou Lu was just trying to get a rough idea through empathy, but the sound of the system rang in his ears.
【bite! It is sensed that the host is approaching the tribulation site, and the relevant tasks are updated. 】
The scene of the robbery?
Zhou Lu was stunned when he heard the system prompt.
Anyone who has read some online articles about cultivating immortals will know the meaning of this word.
He felt it was weird, but he didn't expect it to be so explosive behind the scenes.
They have overcome the tribulation, and the other party is definitely not an ordinary immortal.
Zhou Lu immediately became alert. While telling Hua Huo not to act rashly and defend passively first, he quickly opened the system to view the mission content, hoping that it would provide him with some information.
[Optional mission: Escort Li Dongze to escape from the secret realm]
[Task introduction: Li Dongze, the third son of the Li family in Xinyue. When he broke through to the fourth level, he was attacked by Zhou Lu and killed. Because he failed to leave the secret realm alive, Zhou Lu was able to continue to hide. Save his life and escort him out of the secret realm so that people can be on guard against Zhou Lu. 】
[Task reward: self-selected beastmaster skill card*1, self-selected spiritual beast material*5]
Zhou Lu took a deep look at the system interface.
Obviously, this guy named Li Dongze is using the storm here to seek a breakthrough.
The Li family of Xinyue...
It is indeed one of the best super families.
The shadow of their family can be found in most of the beast-controlling technology industries in the world.
As a former mythical beast family, being able to still have such a powerful force after the inheritance of mythical beasts was cut off is enough to show how powerful they are.
Will the descendants of the once mythical beast family choose to become immortals?
Zhou Lu was not surprised by this, he just found it a bit funny.
As he spoke, the enemy hidden in the distance seemed to be unable to sit still.
Unfortunately, his whereabouts were completely visible to Hanabi, who had already completed the branch arrangement.
Hanabi has already locked onto the opponent and is just waiting for Zhou Lu to give the order.
"Catch one first and then we'll talk." Zhou Lu didn't hesitate for too long and gave Hua Huo the order quickly and neatly.
Hanabi's movements were also quick.
Before the opponent even had time to react, he was poisoned by the entangled vines that suddenly appeared behind him and passed out.
"Caught it!" Hanabi said in a patchwork voice.
Being able to be caught so easily means that the other party is not Li Dongze.
Li Dongze is a half-step quasi-god, so he should not be knocked down directly by such an attack.
The fact is just as Zhou Lu guessed.
The other party is indeed an immortal, but it is definitely not Li Dongze.
While Hanabi stood on the opponent's body to draw strength, Zhou Lu quickly looked through the opponent's belongings.
There was nothing of value, not even identification.
Zhou Lu had no choice but to take out a black inscription mushroom.
This inscription mushroom records the skills of the Death Nightmare.
Zhou Lu persuaded Death Nightmare to use the dream skill on himself after much hard talk.
Crushing the mushroom, the skills recorded in it were activated, and Zhou Lu successfully entered the opponent's dream.
People without professional training would not have the slightest defense against Zhou Lu's questioning in their dreams.
From the other party’s words, Zhou Lu confirmed the existence of Li Dongze on the island.
This at least proves that the system is not talking nonsense.
So, after Zhou Lu’s detailed inquiry, Li Dongze’s plan clearly appeared in front of Zhou Lu.
The storm that swept through the entire safe zone was not caused by those Stormy Petrels. The real cause was the formation arranged by Li Dongze on Dongshan Island.
The formation called the Four Seas Thunder Wind Destruction Formation is one of the tribulation-transmitting formations of the ancient sect Benlei Sect.
As the powerful Immortal Sect’s gate-holding formation, it indeed has its own uniqueness.
Although it requires a large amount of energy to supply power, this formation has objectively focused everyone's attention on the storm petrel and the storm. Few people will notice that taking advantage of the storm to ride out the storm The immortal who broke through the calamity.
Li Dongze has already begun to prepare for this breakthrough.
Considering the movements during the tribulation, a similar storm is definitely the best cover.
But although the secret island often has similar weather, there is always a reason for the storm that lasts for nearly a month.
So, Stormy Haiyan, who had similar abilities, was chosen by Li Dongze to take the blame.
As the plan was implemented, they discovered that there were unexpected gains.
Since the ordinary storm petrel population
is not capable of causing such a scene, people naturally wonder if there is a true god-like individual in this group of petrels.
But the evolutionary process of Storm Petrel, humans have all archives here.
This kind of spiritual beast is also a typical spiritual beast that has broken through the upper limit of natural theory due to the research of human beast masters.
If Rainstorm Petrel wants to evolve to the fourth or even fifth level, it needs materials unique to other secret realms.
In the natural secret environment of the island, it is impossible for the fourth and fifth level Storm Petrels to appear.
So naturally, people began to wonder whether the mythical beast Haiyan in the Invalides was involved in this matter.
As an immortal, even though his family was once a family of mythical beasts, Li Dongze still hated the existence of the Invalides.
If it is really because of this incident that the mythical beast Haiyan is no longer trusted by humans and is abandoned, that would be the best thing.
The skills of Death Nightmare are also really useful.
In such a short period of time, Zhou Lu had roughly understood the other party's general plan and process.
He even saw the solution to the formation at his feet.
That's it... Zhou Lu reviewed the formation in his mind, then looked at the towering trees around him, and suddenly had a headache.
The theoretical diagram is a theoretical diagram. Now that I am in the forest, I have no way to overlook the island and cannot find the context of the formation at all.
When Zhou Lu was having a headache, Hanabi was preparing lunch.
Xiao Caocao wanted to open the coconut in front of him.
But I couldn’t find a handy tool.
Fortunately, its roots still wanted to touch a hard object.
Hanabi dug it out without hesitation.
It is indeed a handy tool.
A hard white jade pearl.
The moment Hanabi dug out the white jade pearl from the ground, the entire sky seemed to have been hit in half by something, and it split open instantly.
The bright sunshine slanted down through the cracks in the clouds.
The storm seems to have stopped...
