Chapter 252 Heading to Xinju
The commotion caused by Hanabi's evolution continues.
The entire secret realm of the flower field has been completely sealed, and only exit is allowed but no entry is allowed.
The official almost immediately sent a professional team to confirm the safety level of the Flower Field Secret Realm at this time.
But before that, a large number of beast masters began to search throughout the secret realm.
If it goes retrograde at this time, it will be too conspicuous.
So Zhou Lu also pretended to be very busy and looked around.
Hua Huo once again turned into a good and bad person, following Zhou Lu as he wandered around in the secret realm of the flower field.
After three days of tossing, the official announced that the commotion this time might be an anomaly caused by some special weather, because they searched the entire secret realm but could not find the location of the so-called quasi-god.
Zhou Lu then followed the disappointed army and left the secret realm of the flower field.
After returning to the real world, Zhou Lu arrived at his temporary residence without stopping.
Wu Xiaoqing was not at home at this time.
Zhou Lu returned to the room and began to pack his luggage.
He plans to set off for Xinzhou after the beast control exam in the first half of the year.
Zhou Lu only needs to come back before the beast control exam in the second half of the year. The school will not care about other things.
Hanabi is already a quasi-god, and the beast control test is not difficult for him at all.
After several days of preparation, Zhou Lu even completed the exam as quickly as possible.
At this time, he did not intend to hide Hanabi's strength too much.
As long as Hanabi's change of profession and evolution into the Nine-Life Immortal Grass are not exposed, then he will not cause too much trouble.
After all, the Beast Control Academy produces one or two geniuses every year.
But many of them disappeared from the public in the days that followed, and very few of them could truly become strong beast masters.
Zhou Lu was taking the speed test. When he was standing at the registration desk to register his scores, the students who had completed the exam started to walk out of the exam room one after another.
This time the beast control test is actually not easy.
All students need to cross an extremely dangerous canyon within the specified time.
This canyon is filled with a large number of dangerous spiritual beasts.
Therefore, even if there are safety teachers in the dark to protect them, the school cannot guarantee the safety of all students.
Except for the first beast-taming exam, this is also the beast-taming exam with the highest elimination rate.
Before the exam, the school has made it clear that if you are afraid of danger and death, you can withdraw from the exam.
After all, you only live once, and you can fail the beast control exam three times.
Students will be expelled from the Beast Control Academy only if they fail the beast control exam three times.
This is actually a very tolerant policy.
By this time of the beast control exam, students with some strength already had their second or even third spiritual pets.
The spirit pets cooperate with each other. In fact, there is no problem at all in traveling through such a dangerous canyon.
And this is no problem for Hanabi.
“Weird.” The teacher who registered the results looked at the students coming one after another with a puzzled expression, “Today’s pass rate seems a bit high.”
Although it’s not nice to say that.
But in the past, if 60% to 70% of the students were not eliminated in this kind of exam, it would be regarded as a mistake in location selection.
Zhou Lu didn’t know what to say when he heard the registration teacher muttering to himself.
You can’t say that I was the initiator this time, right?
Because the school repeatedly emphasized the danger of this canyon, Zhou Lu actually raised his expectations when he took the exam.
He subconsciously forgot one thing - Hanabi was already on target.
After all, this is the first time in his life that he has become a quasi-divine beast master, and Zhou Lu is not very experienced yet.
So in order to pass the exam as quickly as possible, Zhou Lu used the simplest and crudest method: plowing the entire canyon directly with violence.
Hanabi didn't even do it herself.
It released three vine giants.
Then all the so-called dangerous spiritual beasts in the entire canyon suffered and became part of the attributes of the fireworks.
While talking, the security teachers who were sent to the canyon to ensure the safety of the students also came out with frightened faces.
"They are vine titans." One of the male teachers said, "It's strange, why do they appear in this secret realm? Shouldn't they be new spiritual beasts that appear in the secret realm of mountains and rivers?"
Vine Titan?
What kind of spiritual beast is this?
Why don’t I remember memorizing such a spiritual beast when I was memorizing the illustrated book?
Zhou Lu felt confused when he heard the conversation between the group of people.
But the professors and teachers present all became serious.
However, many of them had faint excitement on their faces: "Are they really Vine Titans? That's great! If we capture them and tame them, our academy might have a signature spiritual pet. "It's better to be careful." Someone immediately said, "The vine titan is very violent and vicious. Didn't it destroy a small tit's wild breeding base when it first appeared?" br>
After hearing the conversation between several people, Zhou Lu's heart moved.
On the way back, he turned on his phone to check.
TM’s is indeed the case!
The team that tried to use sick birds to infect the little tits in this secret mountain place, after the base was destroyed by Hanabi's Vine Titan, they went back and immediately wrote a paper about the Vine Titan.
In this paper, they wrote a special book about this new spiritual beast, which aroused the interest of many people.
Sure enough, what capital is best at is turning bad things into good things.
Even if it doesn't turn into a good thing, they will try their best to make it a huge traffic.
Zhou Lu complained in his heart and returned to the hut.
"Sister Xiaoqing, you are eating instant noodles in the laboratory again." As soon as Zhou Lu entered the room, he smelled a strong smell of pickled cabbage and beef noodles.
Wu Xiaoqing sucked the noodles: "It doesn't have any effect."
"Aren't you afraid that your experimental materials will be infected by bacteria again?" Zhou Lu said helplessly.
Wu Xiaoqing waved her hand and said: "Let's not talk about it. Did your exam go well?"
"It's perfect. I can prepare to go to Xinzhou." Zhou Lu said.
Hearing Zhou Lu's words, Wu Xiaoqing stopped eating: "Have you thought about it?"
"I always have this strength now." Zhou Lu rarely showed confidence. expression.
Wu Xiaoqing really had no way to refute this point.
She had to admit that Zhou Lu was now stronger than her.
It’s outrageous if you think about it carefully.
A year ago, Zhou Lu was still thinking about how to pass the first beast control exam.
At that time, Hanabi was a first-level spiritual pet that had just completed its transformation.
As a result, just one year later, Hanabi transformed into a quasi-god.
This speed of evolution would make even the most senior beast control master confused.
"Okay, I've got a status for you here, and you can go to Xinzhou with a legitimate name." As he said that, Wu Xiaoqing opened the drawer on the side and started rummaging around.
Name?
What status?
Zhou Lu was wondering when he saw Wu Xiaoqing take out a certificate and hand it to Zhou Lu.
"Disaster Investigation Committee?" Zhou Lu saw the title of the certificate and read it subconsciously.
Then, he asked with some confusion: "What is this?" "Hasn't New South Wales been prone to frequent disasters in recent decades? In fact, many people think there are problems, but the opinions within the government It has never been unified."
Wu Xiaoqing explained to Zhou Lu.
"The New South Wales side has also been refusing official help, so the matter has been stuck there."
"Isn't this a case of concentrating all the power of the world to help them? The New South Wales local government would actually refuse?"
"You know what they are thinking." Wu Xiaoqing looked at Zhou Lu and said, "I now seriously doubt the composition of that group of people in Xinzhou. I can't guarantee that there are several Yangui members among them."
“So, what is this disaster investigator?”
“Then we have to start with the immortal you helped Ye Qingyu catch.” Wu Xiaoqing said, “Although he His mouth is very strict, but dreams don’t lie. Xiao’e found some things in his dreams, all related to Xinzhou.”
"The officials forced the Xinzhou local government to relent. This is the certificate they issued to me for inviting me to assist in the investigation."
Zhou Lu suddenly showed a puzzled expression: "Aren't you a mushroom researcher? How is it related to the investigation of natural disasters?”
“I invented the fungus they used to detect the weather,” Wu Xiaoqing spread her hands and said.
......
No, sister Xiaoqing, do you really have a presence everywhere?
And is this mushroom really omnipotent in your hands? Why do you even have the ability to detect the weather!
Take it a step further, are you planning to use mushrooms to control the wind and rain?
Zhou Lu complained in his heart.
However, he still accepted the pass book from Wu Xiaoqing.
With this certificate, he can be considered as traveling to New South Wales with a nominal purpose.
After resting for a night in the hut, Zhou Lu set off with fireworks the next morning.
Xinzhou and Xinyue are far apart, so Zhou Lu chose to fly there.
Such a flying distance is basically impossible for spiritual pets below the quasi-god level to fly in one breath.
And spiritual pets who are quasi-gods and above will not lower themselves to use as flying tools.
So this distance is basically occupied by aircraft developed and manufactured by humans.
With the advancement of human science and technology, many things that only spiritual pets could do in the past are being replaced bit by bit by modern technology.
What surprised Zhou Lu was that he actually saw an acquaintance on the plane.
"Li Dongjiang?" Zhou Lu looked at the person in front of him who greeted him enthusiastically and asked doubtfully, "Are you going to Xinzhou?"
"What a coincidence." Li Dongjiang said It was considered enthusiastic, "I'm sending my nephew to Xinzhou."
Zhou Lu followed the direction pointed by Li Dongjiang and saw a fairly familiar figure.
Li Gan first.
The protagonist of the Li family contract banquet.
Zhou Lu can be considered acquainted once.
“You actually went to such a far away place to study?” Zhou Lu narrowed his eyes.
He saw Li Ganxian's spiritual pet lying at his feet.
This behavior is actually not unusual.
The space inside the aircraft is limited, and many spiritual pets are not suitable for the environment on the aircraft. Therefore, most animal masters will choose to put their spiritual pets into the aircraft when flying. In the beast card.
Even though Hanabi was extremely reluctant, Zhou Lu took it back into the beast card when they got on the plane.
But Li Ganxian did not do that.
Is this because his spiritual pet is adapted to this environment and does not mind it getting in the way at all, or... he doesn't have a beast control card at all?
"I can't help it. Xinzhou is more suitable for my nephew." Li Dongjiang's voice brought Zhou Lu back to reality.
Although Li Dongjiang actually intended to make friends with Zhou Lu, Zhou Lu did not intend to have too much friendship with him, a descendant of the Li family.
So after exchanging a few words, Li Dongjiang returned to his seat.
Zhou Lu was leaning against the window, watching the clouds descending from the plane, while scanning the Li family duo not far away with his peripheral vision.
After such a big thing happened at home, why would you still travel far away?
The Beast Control Academy is not a school with strict management. You already have a valid reason. Why are you in such a hurry to go back?
Zhou Lu thought like this and closed his eyes.
He opened his empathy and entered Hanabi's perspective.
Although Hanabi is still in the beast control card at this time, she still retains the ability to control external branches.
Zhou Lu used empathy and controlled its tiny flying branches to fly through fireworks.
Soon, one or two of the branches parasitized Li Ganxian's body.
I want to see what kind of medicine you are selling in the Li family gourd.
One day later, after flying for nearly thirty hours, the plane landed steadily at the airport in the capital of New South Wales.
After Zhou Lu said goodbye to the Li family, he left the airport with his suitcase.
Xinzhou is a mountainous place.
Nearly 90% of the entire state is occupied by highlands and mountains.
After Zhou Lu landed, he looked up and saw mountains and ridges.
And among these mountains and rivers, there are also small mountain villages.
These small mountain villages are often the hardest hit areas by natural disasters in recent years.
Often after a round of disasters, several villages will completely die.
If it were elsewhere, officials would have already proposed a project to arrange collective relocation of these villages to settle in safer places.
But local governments in New South Wales rejected the project.
In their words, the land is too heavy to move, and the residents of those mountain villages strongly opposed the relocation project.
Furthermore, the local government has no money in its accounts and cannot sustain such a large-scale operation.
There must be something fishy about this.
After Zhou Lu left the airport, he rushed to these mountains without stopping.
Not long ago, a wildfire broke out in the mountains and forests over there. If it weren't for the timely intervention of a beast master who was passing by on a business trip, the mountain village where the fire spread would have been completely destroyed in an instant.
Although the wildfire has been extinguished at this time, a series of events triggered by it are still brewing.
The most outrageous thing is actually the operation in Xinzhou.
Using the wanton use of spiritual pets in the real world as an excuse, they detained the beast master who helped the village escape the disaster.
This is so fucking outrageous.
This also forced Zhou Lu to have some conspiracy theories.
Of course, Zhou Lu doesn’t like to accuse people unjustly.
So he planned to go to the scene to investigate and see what exactly caused the disaster.
Using this as a breakthrough, we may be able to find the real reason for the many disasters in New South Wales over the years.
Because he holds a disaster investigator certificate, Zhou Lu is allowed to summon and use his spiritual pets in areas outside the city.
As soon as he left the city, Zhou Lu immediately summoned Crescent Moon.
After riding on the crescent moon, they headed towards the mountains where the wildfire occurred.
