My beast can't be a demon.

Zhou Lu was not in a hurry to let Hua Huo practice headbutt. After all, whether he could successfully train this skill was completely unknown, and the exam was just around the corner.

He planned to let Hua Huo practice [Vine Entanglement] to a proficient level, at least to ensure that he could perform well in the exam and strive to get more credits.

Looking at the message sent back by Wu Xiaoqing, Zhou Lu picked up Hua Huo who was "looking out" from the window to find bees and walked out the door.

When he went out, he also took a special look at the next door. The music had stopped, and I didn't know if Teacher Xiao Xi had gone to work in the research building.

Even if you are a student of the academy, you need to go through the Explorer Association to enter the secret realm.

This is an official association established to manage the exploration of the secret realm, and its main responsibility is to issue exploration certificates of corresponding levels.

After the pioneers have roughly explored the secret realm, except for a small number of areas in the secret realm, most areas will be designated as public exploration areas for beastmasters to explore and find the desired resources or spirit beasts.

During this process, the pioneer army will rate the danger level of the open areas, and take the danger rating corresponding to the most dangerous area of ​​the secret realm to determine the level of exploration certificate allowed to enter the secret realm.

Although the official has established safe areas for students to explore and conduct scientific research in each secret realm, an exploration certificate of the corresponding level is also required to enter.

In terms of entering the secret realm, everyone is treated equally. The only advantage of students is that after paying credits, there will be a teacher responsible for safety to follow them throughout the process.

Zhou Lu is going to a D-level secret realm now. There is basically no threat in this level of secret realm. The only spirit beasts are mostly first-level spirit beasts with gentle personalities and will not actively attack humans.

After the official cancellation of the D-level exploration certificate in the past few years, the D-level secret realm is gradually developing in the direction of a tourist secret realm, but it is still in the testing stage. Only beast masters can enjoy the benefits of this travel.

Since the D-level exploration certificate has been cancelled, Zhou Lu only needs to rely on his student ID to enter the secret realm.

At Wu Xiaoqing's suggestion, he chose the secret realm numbered D0153, which is generally known as the grassland secret realm.

The secret realm number consists of a letter and a string of numbers. The number represents the number of secret realms that have been discovered, and the letter represents its degree of danger. As for secret realms that have not been fully explored and cannot be rated, they generally start with S.

Zhou Lu plans to find the C0032 secret realm of the white jade snail, which is the 32nd secret realm discovered by humans. The danger level is C-level, and only those with a C-level exploration certificate are allowed to enter.

It is not far from the dormitory to the Explorer Association in the college, but because Huahuo wanted to get off and walk by himself several times on the way, he had to stop.

Looking at Huahuo crawling happily, Zhou Lu was quite relieved. Compared with the way it just learned to walk yesterday, it now walks in a proper way, but the speed can only barely keep up with his pace.

Wait until the evening, and then water the flower with a bottle of low-level growth potion, which should make its branches and leaves stronger and able to withstand higher-intensity stems.

In fact, Zhou Lu can put the flower into the beast card, but beast masters who have just started to cultivate spirit pets generally do not do so. They need to spend a long time with spirit pets to cultivate feelings.

Feelings are a mysterious thing, but sometimes they can really affect the evolution of spirit pets.

"Huh? Zhou Lu!"

When Zhou Lu came to the door of the Exploration Association, he unexpectedly heard a familiar voice.

Yes, it was the sound of fines.

Zhou Lu looked for the sound and saw Xu Wuhu in the crowd at a glance. This sturdy squad leader was particularly conspicuous in the crowd.

Because there was still a month before the first combat exam of the sophomore year, the Exploration Association was full of students preparing to go to the secret realm. I heard that the queue at the training hall was even more exaggerated, and some people simply stayed in the venue and did not leave.

With so many people, Xu Wuhu could actually see himself in the crowd at a glance. Zhou Lu still had to admire him.

Since they were teammates, there was no reason to hide. Zhou Lu took the queue number, squeezed through the crowd and came to Xu Wuhu's side.

At this time, Zhou Lu found that there was another boy standing next to Xu Wuhu. He looked quiet and gentle, wearing a pair of half-frame glasses, and his appearance was ordinary, not even as eye-catching as the pet on his shoulder.

Zhou Lu's eyes briefly stayed on the man's pet.

It looked like a ball of pink jelly, with a layer of transparent liquid wrapped around the body.

Sticky baby.

The name of this pet immediately flashed through Zhou Lu's mind.

As one of the most successful spirit beasts in the industrialization of spirit beasts, the mucus produced by sticky baby is already one of the most important products in the world, and almost every industry has this product.

The mucus of sticky baby can achieve different purposes by adjusting the water content, ranging from the strongest glue to the liquid for auxiliary glue.

As for why Zhou Lu knew this, it started with the news that a certain brother bought the wrong product for entertainment and ended up in the hospital in an indecent posture.

Zhou Lu's thoughts quickly returned to reality, because the system's prompt sounded at this moment.

[Optional Task 5: Kill Li Yi]

[Task Introduction: Li Yi, the future president of Xin'an Biotechnology Company, provided Zhou Lu with a lot of spirit beast technology after getting to know him, and was one of his assistants on his growth path. Killing him may hinder Zhou Lu's rapid rise. ]

[Task Reward: Random Permanent Skill Card (B-level)*2 for Beast Tamer, Random One-time Skill Card*1 for Beast Tamer]

Another assistant of mine.

No, where do I get so many noble people?

Zhou Lu saw the system task and complained silently in his heart.

"We are all classmates, so I don't need to introduce you, right?" Xu Wuhu saw the two people looking at each other and laughed, "I didn't expect you to come here. I was planning to contact you."

"Contact me?" Zhou Lu asked doubtfully.

"Training." Xu Wuhu said, "The exam is a team battle. Although I can help you pass the exam by myself, you can only get passing credits. There are only two chances to pass the exam and earn credits in a year. It's a pity to miss it. You have to fight for it."

It is estimated that in the entire combat class 3, only Xu Wuhu dared to say that he would help them pass the exam.

But if I look at myself and Li Yi carefully, if nothing unexpected happens, it seems that I really need Xu Wuhu's help to pass this exam.

My fireflies are plant-type spirit beasts that cannot leave the soil before the second level, and Li Yi's sticky baby is not much better than fireflies.

Sticky babies are also notoriously slow among spirit beasts.

Wild sticky babies are standard ambush hunters. They often stick the surrounding fallen leaves and soil to their bodies for camouflage, and catch passing insects by spitting out mucus, so they don't need to move very fast at all.

The spirit pets of the two teammates are the type that need to be held by their owners to move quickly. Put into Xu Wuhu's perspective, Zhou Lu himself feels that the pressure of passing the level has increased sharply.

Snap!

Just as Zhou Lu was analyzing the situation of this team, the sound of Hua Huo flapping his leaves interrupted his thoughts.

Hua Huo raised her head and stretched out her leaves very seriously, announcing her existence to Zhou Lu.

The master has been staring at the pink ball since just now, this is absolutely not okay!

I am also very cute!
