My beast can't be a demon.

Hua Huo caught Sha easily.

Its strength was far less than what the pioneers imagined, or because of Huo Huo's restrictions, it could not exert its true strength at all.

Man Man looked at the sand element in front of him with interest: "There is such a spirit beast, interesting, really interesting."

Sha's face was full of decadence, and there was no arrogance just now.

"You humans are really unethical!" Sha said indignantly, "You actually use this method to deal with me!"

"You just said that this is the king's mausoleum." Zhou Lu directly skipped Sha's complaints and asked directly, "What king?"

"Of course it's the king of Rui'an." Sha said as a matter of course, and then looked at the people present curiously, "I say...you guys in strange clothes dare to break in here without permission, aren't you afraid of being sentenced to death by the kingdom?"

Obviously, the spirit beast in front of him didn't know that the Kingdom of Rui'an had long disappeared in the historical occasions. Except for particularly professional archaeologists, almost no one knew the existence of this country.

Xu Dalong immediately ordered his men to protect this place.

If this is really the royal tomb of the Rui'an Kingdom, then it is of great research value for human history.

Zhou Lu is not interested in these things, but is very interested in the sand in his hand.

As an ancient spiritual beast, it does not have the clear-cut morphological stages like modern spiritual beasts. In addition, without other similar ones as reference, it is difficult for Zhou Lu to judge what level of spiritual pet it is-unless he signs a beast control contract with the other party.

In fact, Zhou Lu did so.

As the beastmaster who defeated Sha, Zhou Lu easily obtained the contract rights of Sha.

In a sense, the talent of the beastmaster is a super domineering skill like the immortal.

It's just that modern education has intentionally or unintentionally weakened this attribute, and paid more attention to cultivating a trusting relationship between the beastmaster and the spiritual pet.

Sha also felt the contract between himself and Zhou Lu: "Hey, hey, hey! What did you do to me?"

"It's actually the fourth level?" Zhou Lu looked at the level of Sha, but he was not much surprised.

"Ahhh! What on earth did you do to me!"

"Beast Taming Contract." Zhou Lu introduced to Sha, "Don't worry, if you really don't want to be my pet, I will untie the contract."

"Beast Taming Contract? What is this?" Obviously, in Sha's impression, there is no such thing.

"Human race skills. Don't you know?"

"How is it possible!" Sha immediately retorted, "Isn't the human race skill wisdom?"

"Wisdom?" Zhou Lu was stunned.

As the ancestors of modern humans, humans in the era of the Rui'an people did not evolve the two skills of immortals and beast masters.

Just like the racial skill of early mammals is breastfeeding, as ancient humans, their racial skill [wisdom] has been integrated into human genes and has become a characteristic that can be possessed without awakening or evolution.

After possessing universal wisdom, humans have become more and more ambitious, and eventually gradually evolved [immortals] and [beast masters].

Listening to Sha's description, Zhou Lu also seemed to have caught a trace of human ancestors millions of years ago.

From the perspective of modern people, the racial skill [Wisdom] seems to be a creation of the world and the cornerstone of human civilization.

However, in that barbaric era, this racial skill that did not significantly improve physical combat actually put humans on the brink of extinction.

In the end, it was a tribe called Ryan who learned to make tools, form tribes and hunt together with the wisdom given by racial skills, and recorded and passed on the characteristics of various prey.

It was in this process that human civilization was gradually born, and Ryan gradually became one of the earliest kingdoms of mankind.

In fact, Ryan is only a part of the countless human tribes that survive in the secret wilderness. In order to survive, different tribes use the wisdom given by racial skills to create various different methods.

When these tribes began to contact, their survival skills began to be exchanged. Because of the bonus of [Wisdom], they quickly learned these skills, which made the human race as a whole begin to become stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was just like the domestication of Sha, but different tribes domesticated various spirit beasts to serve their own tribe's hunting according to their respective environments.

However, humans at that time could not directly capture adult spirit beasts like the current beastmasters, but generally started domestication from young bodies.

Sha's parents were spirit beasts domesticated by King Ryan, so it existed as the prince's spirit beast since childhood, and accompanied its master from birth to enthronement to death.

After roughly understanding Sha's past, Zhou Lu also began to test Sha's ability.

This world is different from the settings of many novels. It is not that the older it is, the stronger it is - of course, it is not that the more modern it is, the stronger it is.

The so-called power is the definition of human beings for spirit beasts.

For spirit beasts, as long as they can survive in the world and pass on their genes, the shape of their bodies can be used.

And when this trait produced for survival happens to be in line with the interests of humans, it will be called powerful.

Therefore, whether the spirit beasts in this world are strong or not has nothing to do with the time of their evolution and birth. It is a completely random thing.

And with the development of human beings, the definition and demand for strength are also different.

However, the abilities of some spirit beasts can be called strong no matter what era they are placed in.

Sand is a standard spirit beast of this type.

Its racial skill is to control sand and can crush and weather stones.

The control range is amazing.

As the war machine of the Rui'an Kingdom, the sand elements helped the Rui'an tribe defeat one human tribe after another around it, and finally established the amazing Rui'an Kingdom.

As long as there is enough sand, Sand can set off a sandstorm with a wide range in an instant, and use sand to form a huge sandman army in the sandstorm.

Just relying on this point, its strength is enough to rank among the quasi-gods.

If Hua Huo did not take steady steps and use the division to fix the sand in the entire desert around it, Sand might cause a lot of trouble to the pioneer army.

Of course, there is also the reason of Sand in this.

Because it saw that the newcomers were humans, out of loyalty to humans, it did not kill them immediately, but only tried to stop them.

Even after noticing Hua Huo's behavior, it did not strike back, and as a result, Hua Huo's step-by-step approach gradually devoured its resistance.

Zhou Lu looked at Sha who was still accusing Hua Huo, and he couldn't help but admire him.

Even though millions of years had passed, Sha still remained loyal to his master and even his master's race.

In an era without beast control contracts, this kind of loyalty is so precious.

"Why are you looking at me like this?" Sha looked at Zhou Lu strangely.

"Ah? Why did you cancel the contract again?" Then it felt that Zhou Lu had canceled the beast control contract with it.

Although it was a good thing that the beast control contract that made it very uncomfortable was canceled, Zhou Lu's motive for doing so made Sha very confused.     Zhou Lu said very seriously: "Respect for a loyal spirit beast."

Well... mainly because Zhou Lu felt that Sha's ability was too limited by the terrain and did not meet his needs, so he did a favor.

Of course, although the beast control contract between Zhou Lu and Sha was terminated, the official is expected to make a new deal with Sha.

As for whether Sha will become the official beast control master's pet to protect the royal mausoleum, or enter the Rongjunyuan to become a quasi-god who can help at any time, it depends on the official's negotiation skills.

Zhou Lu had just finished talking with Sha when Manman flew over with great interest.

"How is it? Did you gain anything?" Zhou Lu asked with a smile when he saw Manman so happy.

Manman was very excited: "Yeah~! I learned a lot of knowledge that I didn't know before, which must be of great help to my mother."

"Is this discovery also meaningful to Qiudaomu?"

"My mother's strength is closely related to the amount of knowledge she has mastered." Manman said very seriously, "The more knowledge she knows, the greater the power she can mobilize."

Hearing this, Zhou Lu became more curious about Qiudaomu's strength.

And Manman continued to talk about this great discovery.

This is indeed the royal tomb of the Rui'an Kingdom. The history recorded in the ground buildings and the life stories of the tomb owner are enough to make human archaeology leap forward a million years.

Zhou Lu, who is not an archaeologist, just listened to these.

Due to the discovery of sand and royal tombs, the mission of this pioneering army changed on the spot.

Xu Dalong immediately asked his beastmaster to pass on his discovery this time.

Soon, more pioneers came to this desert.

According to the opinions from above, Xu Dalong did not choose to open the royal tomb.

Official archaeological operations will only open historical tombs when the tombs are proven to be destroyed. Otherwise, they rely on professional pets to enter the investigation.

Soon, Zhou Lu met these professional archaeologists.

They summoned their own pets, and they were all ghost pets.

This kind of pet without a physical body can transmit information from the underground of the tomb without destroying real objects. It is indeed a powerful helper for archaeological staff.

With the help of these ghost pets, the exploration of the royal tomb has just begun.

After making sure that these humans would not overturn the tomb of his master, the originally resistant Sha finally compromised.

Although it always felt that this kind of exploration was also an offense to the master's soul, it was now unable to stop it.

But on second thought, his master's name was once again recorded in history after millions of years, which must be a good thing for this guy who likes to show off.

According to Sha's understanding of his master, if this guy knew that he would be treated like this after so many years of death, he would definitely kick over the coffin and drag these archaeologists to "take pictures".

In fact, at this point, Zhou Lu's mission has been completed.

However, he did not choose to leave immediately, but consolidated the achievements of Huahuo in this desert with the help of Yueya.

Plants solidified the desert, which also allowed Huahuo to have a large flower field legitimately.

Yueya transformed into a cloud again, using her ability to guide the water vapor to gather, and finally it rained in the desert, nourishing these newly survived branches.

With the efforts of Yueya and Huahuo, 80% to 90% of these branches survived in the desert environment.

In order to expand the scale of his flower field, Huahuo also took this opportunity to continue to expand tirelessly.

This scene happened to enter the eyes of the frontline reporters who came after hearing the news.

They did not come for Huahuo's desert management, but mainly for the discovery of the royal tomb.

This is also something that the authorities have never stopped.

Once new mineral deposits, new spirit beasts, or new historical discoveries like now appear, the authorities will quickly let the media report.

The main purpose of doing this is to let people know that it is necessary to explore such unknown secrets.

After all, if people's hearts are floating, many things will not have much good effect even if the authorities can force them.

Huahuo's way of managing the desert is simple and crude, but it is extremely effective.

Zhou Lu originally thought that these reporters would write some praise reports.

As a result, the next day he learned from Xu Dalong, who couldn't help laughing, that after these reporters went back, they turned around and wrote a report criticizing Zhou Lu for destroying the desert environment.

This made Zhou Lu speechless.

It would be fine if this desert existed originally.

But this desert was created over the years to protect the royal tomb.

I thought that this was not a natural desert, so how could it be considered a destruction of the desert environment?

"Just get used to it, just get used to it." Xu Dalong patted Zhou Lu on the shoulder and said.

"You know about the media." Lin Kexing also chimed in, "For these guys, traffic is their parents. It is normal to deliberately conceal some information for traffic and guide the entire report to the direction with the most barrage."

Although Xu Dalong did not know the purpose of Zhou Lu's thankless planting in the desert, it was definitely a good thing for the pioneer army.

If this place becomes a new oasis because of the planting of grass by Huahuo in the future, then the mining work here should not be too difficult, at least it is much better than facing the yellow sand all day long.

"After graduating in the future, are you interested in joining the pioneer army?" Xu Dalong suddenly asked.

After this time, he also recognized the ability of the person in front of him.

Zhou Lu looks young, but his strength should not be underestimated.

The spiritual pet on his body is not only powerful, but also the spiritual pet named Yueya is very powerful.

At least Xu Dalong does not think that his quasi-god spiritual pet can make it rain in the desert so easily.

"Of course I am interested." Zhou Lu was planning to learn some information about the ruins of the immortal mansion from the pioneer army to make adequate preparations for the growth of Hua Huo, "especially exploring those immortal ruins."

"Are you interested in immortal ruins?"

"Very interested!"

Xu Dalong smiled and said, "That's perfect. I will be transferred to the S3011 secret realm in a few days. There is an ancient city in the immortal world that needs to be explored and rated. I wonder if you are interested?"
