My beast can't be a demon.

Chapter 71 Snowy Secret Realm: Extreme Ice Land
Three days later, Zhou Lu had almost all the supplies he had purchased, so he prepared to head to the secret realm of snow.

The night before departure, Hua Huo was very excited to accompany Zhou Lu to pack the supplies.

Cold-proof clothing, fuel for fire, tents, sleeping bags, food...

Except for consumables, two copies of everything else were prepared.

Such thorough preparations also rely on Fireworks's two skills, [Transportation] and [Lilliput].

Zhou Lu even considered the issue of keeping Huo Huo warm.

Fortunately, as a spiritual beast, Fireworks has a certain resistance to cold. In addition, the sticky baby's mucus has a certain ability to insulate and prevent cold at a certain concentration, so there is no need to worry about Xiaocao being frostbitten or frozen to death in the extremely icy land.

The next day, Zhou Lu arrived at the Explorers Association early in the morning.

A lot of people have gathered at the secret gate leading to the Snowland Secret Realm, most of them are senior students.

Because of the spread of the Internet, the Land of Extreme Ice has become a recognized metaphysical place among beastmasters.

Regardless of whether the evolution of their spirit pets will be enhanced by the extreme ice land, many beastmasters will choose to go there to complete the evolution.

In fact, it was not the first time for many people to go to the secret land of snow. Zhou Lu took a look and saw that they were all carrying large and small bags to climb the snow-capped mountains.

People like Zhou Lu, who came here with only their spirit pet, became the odd ones out.

Many people couldn't help but laugh when they saw Zhou Lu coming to the gate of the Snowland Secret Realm in this state.

This person is definitely a newcomer, and he has no idea of ​​the bone-chilling cold and the horror of the snowy secret realm.

There were a few enthusiastic seniors who came over to remind Zhou Lu to be prepared for the cold.

Zhou Lu smiled and thanked them one by one.

Seeing Zhou Lu so confident, others gradually stopped reminding him.

After signing the statement, Zhou Lu entered the Snowy Secret Realm through the secret gate.

Zhou Lu’s destination is the 33rd teleportation node, which is the teleportation point closest to the extreme ice land.

Without a doubt, this is the place with the largest number of Beast Tamers.

As soon as Zhou Lu opened his eyes, he saw many beastmasters carrying large and small bags and walking towards the snow-capped peaks in the distance.

In fact, among the beastmasters heading to the extreme ice land this month, Zhou Lu had the least preparation time.

The best time to go to the extreme ice land is in winter, when most spirit pets have already completed their preparations for the winter.

When you come to an extremely cold place during this month, you should either let your pet molt in a cold environment such as a cold storage first, or provide your pet with cold-proof measures.

Zhou Lu looked at the towering snow-capped mountains in the distance and was not in a hurry to catch up with the main force.

He clearly remembered that the special evolution recorded in ancient books needed to be carried out in the rain in the extremely icy land.

Not to mention whether it will rain in this damn place, there is not even a hint of snow here now.

Going up at this time is undoubtedly a waste of time.

Zhou Lu planned to take a walk around the neighborhood first.

He has always kept in mind what Xiao Xi said last time.

Want to explore the secrets of the polar ice?

me?

Originally, Zhou Lu would never have such an idea. Such things should be done by heroes and have nothing to do with an ordinary person like him.

But now Zhou Lu’s mentality is a little different.

It’s not that he planned to actively do something adventurous, but his intuition told him that the source of this secret might be related to the “seven days of rain” mentioned in ancient books.

It was precisely because of this sentence in the ancient book that Zhou Lu lacked a bit of confidence in the evolution of Fireworks.

From ordinary roadside weeds, to the legendary magical grass, this leap is like a carp leaping over the dragon gate.

Zhou Lu felt that the lack of any of these conditions might lead to failure.

Hua Huo curled up in Zhou Lu's winter clothes, looking at the outside world curiously.

It rarely snows in Sinanju, so from the time Hua Huo was born until now, except for helping Zhou Lu shovel out the ice in the refrigerator, she has never seen real snow and ice.

The high price is indeed justified. Fireworks felt the body temperature of its owner and felt as if it was a little dizzy.

And during this dizzy moment, Huo Huo felt as if she was dreaming.

In the dream, there was a continuous drizzle.

From day to night.

From spring to winter. Zhou Lu felt that Hua Huo's mood became calm, and he knew that the grass probably fell asleep.

I don’t know what Xiaocao dreams about.

But Zhou Lu knew that he couldn't let Hua Huo fall asleep like this. After all, he still had to rely on the branches left by Hua Huo to guide him.

There are no plants on the snowy area.

In an environment like this where snow blindness is very likely to occur, any markings are important.

However, no matter how Zhou Lu called, Xiaocao still lay softly in Zhou Lu's arms.

This made Zhou Lu a little anxious.

What's the matter?

This has never happened to Hanabi.

There must be something nearby that is affecting the fireworks.

Zhou Lu quickly analyzed the problem at hand in his mind.

Hanabi was still alive and, from a Beastmaster's perspective, perfectly healthy.

But it just remained unconscious, as if it had fallen into a long deep sleep.

Zhou Lu took a deep breath and quickly calmed himself down.

Looking around, it’s all white and clean.

Only the branches left by the fireworks on the snow are particularly obvious.

and many more?

Zhou Lu looked at the branch and immediately narrowed his eyes.

Some strange white spots appeared on the branches of these fireworks.

Infection? Virus? Or skill effect?
Zhou Lu squatted down, pinched the leaves of the branch, and frowned.

Thinking of this, Zhou Lu rummaged in his pocket and took out a small bag containing purple powder.

Spores of the purple mushroom.

This was a gift from Wu Xiaoqing. He remembered it when he was changing clothes and reaching into his pocket, so he put it in his own pocket.

I didn't expect that not giving it to Hua Huo at that time would actually help me a lot.

Thinking of this, Zhou Lu pinched a handful of spores and scattered them on the branches of Huo Huo, wanting to see if he could use the traces of the Ghost Heart Purple Mushroom to find the culprit that caused Huo Huo to fall into this state.

As soon as the spores come into contact with the ramet, they begin to expand and grow rapidly.

After a while, several ghost-heart purple mushrooms covered with white spots appeared in front of Zhou Lu.

puff! Snapped!
Along with the sound of mushrooms exploding, purple powdery spores spurted out from the body of the Ghost Heart Purple Mushroom.

The purple spores turned into a purple cloud in the air and flew quickly in one direction.

This is the source!
Seeing this, Zhou Lu chased after him without hesitation.

Whatever the case, what caused Hanabi to enter this strange state?

Purple spores fly very fast.

Zhou Lu could only try his best to chase after him. He fell down in the snow several times and rolled several times before he could barely keep his balance.

Fortunately, these purple spores were always within Zhou Lu's sight.

Zhou Lu couldn't help but sigh, although Xiao Xi sometimes talked nonsense, the saying "to control the beast you must first control yourself" still made some sense.

If he didn't pay more attention to physical exercise on weekdays, he would never be able to keep up with the flying speed of the ghost heart purple mushroom spores in this situation.

After running at full speed for nearly half an hour, Zhou Lu's physical strength has reached its limit.

The cold air rushed into his nasal cavity, seeming to freeze his alveoli.

Zhou Lu even suspected that if he coughed now, he might cough up blood.

Fortunately, the spores finally stopped.

They all fell on the snow.

The spores scattered and formed an irregular circle.

Zhou Lu didn't hesitate, he rushed forward and dug through the spore-covered snow with his bare hands.
