My beast can't be a demon.

Chapter 43: Ramet Parasitism
Linxi Secret Land is a paradise for insects.

Although small insects are not suitable for cultivation as spiritual pets unless they control a queen insect, they are also very important as part of the ecological environment.

Many spiritual animals such as birds and frogs need these insects as feed or even as materials for evolution.

Beside the stream where the white jade snails live, countless palm-sized mosquitoes are flying around freely, buzzing in search of blooming flowers to suck the sweet nectar.

Suddenly, a green vine swept through the mosquito swarm, hitting a few unlucky mosquitoes.

However, the vine seemed to be just sweeping past. The mosquito that was hit flipped a few times in the air, but it quickly stabilized its body and flapped its wings to catch up with the main force.

However, after they flew forward for a distance, their flying speed became slower and slower, and new green buds appeared on their bodies.

Suddenly, new shoots began to grow wildly, and the white roots directly pierced the mosquito's body. The plant grew rapidly, completely taking the mosquito's life.

Under the influence of inertia, the grass flew forward for a distance carrying the remains of the mosquito and finally fell on the soft soil.

In a blink of an eye, the mosquito that was full of energy just now became an inconspicuous grass in the forest.

Or rather, it is Meng Yuhua.

Within a few seconds, all the mosquitoes that were hit by the vines met the same fate.

Their bodies become nutrients for the plants growing on them, and they sleep forever in the soil.

"Well done! Hanabi!"

Zhou Lu, who was not far away, observed the behavior of these mosquitoes and waved his fist excitedly.

Praise from her master, Hanabi proudly tapped her snail shell with her vines.

In the last few days in Linxi Secret Realm, Zhou Lu was training Hua Huo in the technique of using [Lilliput Kingdom] to shrink herself down and then parasitize other creatures.

I have to say that the effect is still very outstanding.

Today's fireworks can not only perfectly parasitize mushrooms such as the Pleurotus ostreatus, but can also parasitize some small insects.

When Fireworks evolves and becomes even stronger in the future, perhaps it will be able to allow its branches to parasitize large spiritual beasts.

Although it may not be possible to kill a large spiritual beast by sucking it dry as easily as killing a bug, absorbing the energy of the spiritual beast and erupting vines to entangle the opponent is also a very good effect.

At this stage, the most useful aspect of this technique is the control of the enlarged delicious mushroom.

With the parasitic offshoots of Firefly, he no longer needs to worry about the backlash of the enlarged mushroom. As long as his goal is achieved, he will immediately let the offshoots grow wildly and disintegrate the mushroom from the inside.

It can also allow the branched vines to form a perfect combination with the violence of the delicious mushrooms.

I don’t know if this technique can be solidified into a skill after being mastered, just like the walking of fireworks.

As he spoke, Zhou Lu took a look at Hanabi's Beast Taming Card.

In the skill column, there is one more skill: [Walking on Vines]

[Walking on Vines]: Inherent skill. Use the constant switching between [Crazy Growth] and [Walking on Stems] to achieve the purpose of walking.

This skill was solidified from a technique into a skill after Hanabi's walking technique reached a level of proficiency.

Therefore, Zhou Lu had no doubt that Firefly's technique of parasitism would be solidified into an inherent skill after it mastered it.

And unlike [Walking on Vines], since other plant spirit beasts cannot learn [Lilliput], this ramet parasitism will be a skill unique to Firefly.

Looking at the fireworks that were constantly whipping the flying insects in the air with their vines, Zhou Lu fell into deep thought.

Since the branches of Fireworks are already able to parasitize other organisms, can I go one step further?

Some parasites can control the behavior of their hosts in some way.

For example, the crab slaves that control crabs, and the Cordyceps sinensis that controls ants.

Hanabi has now begun to learn how to parasitize by division. Is it possible to give Hanabi the ability to control the parasitic host through division?

I don’t know if there are similar skills in this world.

Hanabi seemed to be tired from playing, and wrapped her vines around Zhou Lu's ankles. She then used her skills to shrink herself quickly and climbed up Zhou Lu's legs skillfully.

After a short while, it climbed up Zhou Lu's body quickly like a big spider and lay on its throne: above Zhou Lu's head.

Hanabi lazily rubbed Zhou Lu's ears with her vines, expressing her sleepiness.

This little grass is really, even though it is so tired, it is unwilling to return to the Beast Taming Card to rest, and would rather lie on its head to rest. Looking at the time, the time left for the secret realm exploration exchanged for credits is running out.

Zhou Lu returned to the camp, packed up his things and prepared to leave.

In fact, if you want to come to Linxi Secret Realm frequently, you can choose to rent a simple residence here.

However, Zhou Lu has no such plan for the time being.

After paying the accommodation fee, he raised his wrist and lit up the bracelet.

Lu Rang knocked on his door.

"There is still half an hour left before the end of the exploration." Lu Rang said to Zhou Lu, "Are you sure you want to leave?"

Zhou Lu nodded.

Lu Rang looked at Zhou Lu deeply.

His training by the stream was conducted entirely under Lu Rang's observation.

There is no way around it. Since you have chosen to operate in the safe zone, you must accept trading privacy for safety.

Zhou Lu actually knew this too.

In the safe zone, no matter what you do, the safety teacher will definitely be nearby.

But he has a clear conscience and is upright, so he has nothing to hide.

What's more, safety teachers like Lu Rang have to sign a confidentiality agreement, and it is the most stringent confidentiality agreement, which is supervised by Qiu Daomu himself.

With Zhou Lu's confirmation, the transmission light lit up.

When Zhou Lu opened his eyes, he and Lu Rang had already returned to the Explorers Association.

Hua Huo lay on Zhou Lu's head, still looking lazy.

Zhou Lu didn't stay in the Explorers Association for long and went straight back to the dormitory.

He was about to start preparing to travel to the secret realm of mountains and rivers C0021.

After the initial battle exam, the campus fell silent, and even the freshmen had already begun preparing for their various exams.

Zhou Lu returned to the dormitory quickly.

When he opened the door, he was stunned for a moment, then silently stepped out and took a look.

"Hey! You're back!" Xiao Xi's voice came from inside, which made Zhou Lu sure that he had not walked into the wrong dormitory.

Although Zhou Lu often cleans the dormitory, he doesn't clean it so tidy.

The books that were originally piled on the ground were sorted and put back on the bookshelf, and those that could not be placed were packed in cartons and piled by the window.

In this way, the originally cramped dormitory suddenly became much more spacious.

"This is..." Zhou Lu looked at Xiao Xi in confusion.

"Hehe, you're only at home a few days a month anyway, so it would be a waste to just leave it there, so I just cleaned it up a bit." Xiao Xi put her hands on her hips and said, "This way, the area of ​​my room has doubled in an instant!"

Zhou Lu looked at Xiao Xi speechlessly, then searched for his own water cup and planned to drink some water first: "Where's my water cup?"

"That one is too dirty, I threw it away..."

The next second, Xiao Xi looked at the vines around her waist and said helplessly, "It's just a cup..."

Hua Huo quickly threw Xiao Xi away.

It was obviously me who cleaned the room!
You must have bad intentions by taking my job away!

He also threw away the host's water cup, which is unforgivable!
"Ahhh! I'm sorry! I was wrong!"

Xiao Xi's screams echoed in the corridor.

"Hey! Don't put weird things in my body! What is this?!"
