My beast can't be a demon.

Chapter 54: Sticky baby! Sticky baby!
C0098, Secret Swamp.

After confirming that Xiao Xi had the evolutionary route of the Nine-Life Immortal Grass last time, Zhou Lu turned around and plunged into the secret swamp.

This is the secret realm he determined after continuously screening countless C-level secret realms.

As the name suggests, there are a large number of swamps and wetlands in the Swamp Secret Realm.

This is a paradise for plants, insects and birds, and naturally also a paradise for fireworks.

As soon as she entered this secret place, Huo Huo was like a husky that had finally gotten out for some fresh air, running wildly across the swamp with her insect net in hand.

Zhou Lu was in a miserable situation. In order to avoid sinking into the mud, his shoes were specially made. Although they were not very heavy, they made him look particularly bloated when he walked.

The secret swamp is a paradise for insect beasts.

It is naturally a paradise for insectivorous beasts.

Zhou Lu brought Hua Huo to this secret realm, not only to let Hua Huo catch bugs to brush up on her poison skills, but also to stick to the baby.

As the most standard ambush insect-catching spirit beast, the sticky baby is also distributed in large numbers in the swamp secret realm.

However, unlike their counterparts in other secret realms, the slime babies in the swamp secret realm have a special form.

They incorporate the silt into their bodies, forming a unique brown color, which allows them to better hide in the swamp and ambush potential prey.

This camouflage color also resulted in Huahuo not being able to catch a single sticky baby in the first few days after entering the secret realm.

But Huahuo really enjoyed catching bugs.

However, because the flying insect population is so large, the flying insects that have transformed into spiritual beasts only account for a very small part of the population.

Although ordinary bugs and fireworks can also obtain attributes through [Absorb], bugs that have not metamorphosed do not have racial skills.

During these few days, although Zhou Lu activated [Body Feeding] for five minutes every day to double the luck value for Fireworks, he still didn't get any skills in the end.

Fortunately, Zhou Lu was not in a hurry.

Wu Xiaoqing has already sent him the time to go to the C1422 bird secret realm.

Originally, she was going to take Zhou Lu into the secret realm in the next two days, but because of other things, Wu Xiaoqing temporarily changed the itinerary.

She told me that a professor at the New South Wales Beast Taming Academy died unexpectedly.

Although the professor was not Wu Xiaoqing's mentor, he still taught her. Wu Xiaoqing felt that this matter was strange and was analyzing the mushrooms brought back from the funeral in the laboratory these days.

Zhou Lu was actually very curious about why Wu Xiaoqing brought mushrooms back from the funeral.

And why can we analyze the cause of death based on mushrooms?

But no matter what, Zhou Lu really doesn't dare to take Hua Huo to the Suzaku Temple alone at this stage.

Although he really wants to become stronger, he also knows his own limitations.

"So... you've been catching bugs for three days?" Li Yi, who was walking beside Zhou Lu, looked at Hua Huo happily catching bugs in the distance and found it hard to understand. "Many bugs are not even spiritual beasts. What are you catching them for? For feed?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Hua Huo in the distance skillfully retracting her vines.

At the same time, the insects stuck on the web were stuffed into their shells by Huahuo as the vines were retracted.

At this time, Zhou Lu's voice sounded: "Make fertilizer for the flowers."

“Well… I can be willful if I have a lot of credits,” Li Yi complained.

Li Yi was the person Zhou Lu met in the secret realm. Zhou Lu entered the secret realm on the second day after he arrived here.

He didn't come here for training this time. His sticky baby has mysophobia and can't adapt to the swamp environment.

"So, is that sticky baby king really important?" Zhou Lu asked.

Li Yi came in this time for the sticky baby in the swamp secret realm.

To be precise, it was a giant mutant sticky baby. Although it was still level one, the mutation made it extremely large.

For a family like Li Yi's that specializes in raising sticky babies, this huge mutation is definitely an excellent gene.

"Yes. Many companies are looking for it." Li Yi frowned and said, "They spent a lot of money to invite many students from the Beast Taming Academy to enter the safe zone to look for this slimy baby."

"Hmm...Is that so..."

I don’t know whether the giant sticky baby has more attributes than the ordinary sticky baby.

As he was speaking, Hanabi seemed to have gotten tired of catching bugs and had stopped, now squatting in the swamp in a daze.

The grass around was very tall, and it was impossible to see the real situation below.

The leaves of the fireworks trembled, as if they sensed something.

Zhou Lu clearly sensed a sense of anxiety from its emotions.

It's like a fisherman who sees fish in the water, but realizes he doesn't have a fishing rod with him.

Suddenly, Hanabi seemed to think of something.

As it became aware, its vines began to weave into the shape of a light bulb.

Wow, that’s quite a portrayal.

Before Zhou Lu could complain, Hua Huo had already stretched out his vines again.

However, unlike before, it did not weave the vines into a net, but used [Lilliput] to make the vines as thin as possible, and a small leaf grew at the top of the vine.

The fireworks waved their leaves aimlessly above the grass.

Zhou Lu didn't know what Hua Huo was doing. In fact, even Hua Huo might not know.

Li Yize on the side continued, "However, they have been searching in the safe zone for more than ten days, and have searched almost the entire safe zone, but they still haven't found any trace of the giant slime baby."

"Does that really exist?"

"It must exist. There are photos and videos." Li Yi sighed.

Originally, he was not that anxious, and his family had no plans to let him get involved in the family business at this stage.

But as more and more rumors came out, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious, so he found a time to come here.

"You haven't caught him yet? So many people are looking for him."

"Slimy babies are good at camouflage." Li Yi rubbed the slimy baby on his head and said, "What they are best at is using the objects around them to blend into the surrounding environment. Coupled with their adjustable body temperature, they are even more difficult to find."

"This is even more true for the slime babies in the secret swamp. They even have camouflage colors. Unless you are a special seeking spirit beast, it is difficult to find the slime babies that are hiding on purpose..."

Before Li Yi finished speaking, Zhou Lu suddenly felt a vibration under his feet.

When he looked up, Hua Huo threw herself into his arms in panic like a cat with its fur standing on end.

Behind it, the vines extended into the grass.

The originally dancing leaves were wrapped in a ball of unknown liquid.

The ambusher became angry, perhaps because he discovered that what he ate was not the delicious insect he had imagined.

A huge, blob-like creature rose up from the swamp.

squeak--!
It roared at the fireworks in Zhou Lu's arms.

What did you feed me? ! !
Hanabi quickly stuffed the chili sauce into Li Yi's hand.
