My beast can't be a demon.

"This is one of the Tian family's residences." Ouyang Xiao took Zhou Lu to the city center. "They live here most of the time."

Looking up at the skyscraper in front of him, Zhou Lu couldn't help but said: "This time it's finally not a single-family villa..."

"Not everyone likes that kind of villa." Ouyang Xia smiled bitterly, "What's more, the building in front of you belongs to the Tian family. But there are other users in it."

"Um... these users can't..." Zhou Lu looked at Ouyang Xiao.

Ouyang Xiao naturally knew what Zhou Lu's subtext was, and said: "Those who can live here are either rich or noble. The Tian family will not use these people as food rations, except of course if they are really hungry."

"If there are innocent people, it will be troublesome." Zhou Lu scratched his head in distress.

Hanabi's fighting style is very rough, and she won't necessarily uproot your entire building when the mood strikes.

Now, its ultimate growth volume no longer depends on its own upper limit, but on the upper limit of the ground's load-bearing capacity.

Such a fighting style is obviously inappropriate in a prosperous area like the city center.

Fortunately, Hanabi is not incompetent in more detailed methods, and is even very good at it. After all, controlling so many tiny branches is a very delicate job.

It's just that Hanabi doesn't like to do this kind of thing on weekdays.

Zhou Lu was not in a hurry to take action.

He came here to destroy the Immortal Kingdom this time. How could the Tian family alone be enough?

After Zhou Lu observed it, he asked Hua Huo to leave the branches, then turned around and prepared to leave.

"Aren't you going in?" Ouyang smiled and asked immediately when Zhou Lu turned around.

Zhou Lu turned around in confusion: "Why do you want to go in?"

Looking at Ouyang Xiao in front of him, he always felt that the senior's current state was a bit strange.

The corners of his mouth twitched and raised, and his hands in his pockets were trembling slightly.

The most important thing is that when he was talking, he no longer looked at Zhou Lu.

Hua Huo held Zhou Lu's head and whispered: "Master, you seem to be a bit strange as a senior..."

"What's wrong with you, senior?" Zhou Lu raised his hand and flicked the fireworks, then asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Ouyang Xiao smiled helplessly: "It's an old problem. Whenever something like this happens, my body will tremble uncontrollably and I will have chills."

"I do this when I encounter exciting things." Zhou Lu smiled, and then said, "I'm waiting for all the other people in the Immortal Kingdom to show up, and then catch them all. These immortals are usually very good at hiding. If they can't eradicate the weeds, , the consequences are endless.”

Ouyang Xiao nodded: "That's the truth."

"Master, why do you want to cut off the roots?" Hanabi said unhappily, "If you are interested in the roots, I can let you rub them."

"Metaphor! This is a metaphor!" Zhou Lu raised his hand angrily and patted the flowers of Hanabi.

"I'm going to the Sixth Research Institute of Suizhou in the afternoon." Zhou Lu looked at Ouyang Xiao and said, "I'll help Sister Xiaoqing get some samples. Do you want to go together?"

Ouyang Xiao shook his head: "No need, I have other things too."

With that said, the two agreed on a time to meet next time and then said goodbye.

Ouyang Xiao took two steps forward, then looked back behind him. When he found that Zhou Lu was leaving without looking back, he was stunned for a while and then turned around and left.

"Master, are you really not going to touch my roots?" Hanabi said reluctantly.

"Okay, has he left?" Zhou Lu changed the subject.

"Yes, I've left." Hanabi confirmed.

Zhou Lu nodded and immediately frowned.

This is not Ouyang Xiao.

He was very sure.

It's not that he knows Ouyang Xiao very well. After all, the senior has been missing for a long time. Zhou Lu has never really seen him since he traveled through time.

However, when Zhou Lu saw Ouyang Xiao for the first time, he was sure of his disguise at first sight.

In order to identify her own people, Wu Xiaoqing always puts some mushroom spores on their bodies for identification.

These spores are usually inconspicuous and will not even germinate at all.

But when two individuals with the same ability to recognize mushrooms approach, these mushroom spores will emit a special rhythm.

This kind of rhythm is so special, as if an old lady is lying in front of you, sucking your thumb with her toothless mouth.

But when he saw Ouyang Xiao, Zhou Lu didn't feel this way at all.

From that moment on, Zhou Lu knew there was something wrong with this senior.

But because he was not sure about his real senior, Zhou Lu couldn't expose him without permission.

During this period of contact, Zhou Lu had actually been testing the other party.

He didn't know if the other party was aware of it or if he sincerely wanted to destroy the immortal. Zhou Lu didn't see the flaw.

Just now, if he hadn't insisted, he would have rushed into the building.

This situation directly confused Zhou Lu.

"Senior, is there no error in your spore identification?" Zhou Lu called Wu Xiaoqing while rushing to the Sixth Research Institute.

Wu Xiaoqing was confused by Zhou Lu's sudden question: "Why are you asking this?"

So Zhou Lu briefly recounted what happened during this period to Wu Xiaoqing. After listening to it, Wu Xiaoqing thought and said: "I'm not sure about this. After all, it's a very early work. Moreover, in order to prevent us from finding him, that guy is also likely to remove the identification spores on his body."

Remove?...

Did he really misunderstand the senior?

After Zhou Lu pondered for a moment, he asked again: "Then do you know what old illness the senior has?"

"This guy is very healthy." Wu Xiaoqing paused, "At least before he disappeared. Of course, I'm talking about the surface. I don't know if there is any problem with his male core function."

When Zhou Lu heard Wu Xiaoqing's words, he also broke out in a cold sweat: "I'm asking you a very serious question."

"I'm also answering very seriously." Wu Xiaoqing answered confidently.

As the two talked, they talked about the Sixth Research Institute that Zhou Lu was about to go to.

The Sixth Research Institute of Suizhou is considered a relatively famous research institute in Suizhou.

"What do you want me to get this time?" Zhou Lu mentioned this and couldn't help complaining, "Don't you know that my business involves world security?"

"My business also involves world security." Wu Xiaoqing didn't give in.

This aroused Zhou Lu's concern: "Fuck, you didn't make another pathogen that can destroy the world?"

"No way! Wait... why do you say again?"

"I always feel that with the strength of the senior sister, it is probably a matter of time before she can do this."

Wu Xiaoqing was immediately unhappy: "I said don't slander me! I never get involved in the research of such horrible things..."

After a pause, the other end of the phone suddenly hesitated: "I think so..."

"Fuck! I'm afraid of your supposed."

"What's there to be afraid of..." Wu Xiaoqing's voice was actually a little guilty.

How many horrible things did our senior sister hide?

Zhou Lu silently decided in his heart that he should not mess with this kind of microbiologist.

Especially for microbiologists in the world view of beast control, who knows what horrible things the other party will research.

This time, Wu Xiaoqing wanted Zhou Lu to get a brand new bacterial sample.

"When did you start to get involved in bacteria? I thought you were only interested in mushrooms." The process of taking samples went very smoothly.

When Zhou Lu came, he saw that the branch of Hua Huo was fighting with the spirit beasts of the failed projects in the test room.

Feeling the approach of the main body, the branch running alone paused for a short time, and then was immediately seized by the opponent.

The lightning mouse flew high and suddenly disappeared in the air. The next second, it appeared behind the branch of Hua Huo, and directly hit the branch with a headbutt.

Unfortunately, the weight of the lightning mouse was too light, and such a headbutt could not hurt the branch at all. Then the branch that reacted was hung up and beaten again.

"Fuck! Who can tell me why the lightning mouse awakened the power of space?" The researchers watching on the side were dumbfounded and looked at their colleagues around them.

"Lao Liu! What was your project about?"

The researcher named Lao Liu adjusted his glasses, his fingers trembling a little: "Increase the power of the lightning mouse, and then let this pet spirit beast have the function of a power bank when traveling..."

The lightning mouse is not a very powerful spirit beast, but there are many studies related to it.

Mainly because this cute mouse is very popular in the pet market, so studying the variants of the lightning mouse can often make a lot of money through operation.

However, most of the research on lightning mice is about curly color and hair, but Lao Liu wants to take a different approach and think about using the power generation characteristics of lightning mice to develop its role in practical fields.

Unfortunately, the project experiment failed in the end.

The lightning mouse edited with the new gene not only did not show the characteristics of increased power, but also became very fond of eating.

"What a pity, this is just a lightning mouse." The researchers quickly withdrew from the excitement.

This kind of spatial transmission ability is definitely a magical skill in other combat spirit beasts.

But now only a lightning mouse has it.

"You can't say that." Zhou Lu joined in the fun and said, "I feel that you should be able to get the order from the pioneer army soon."

"Hmm?" The researchers did not have any resistance to Zhou Lu, an outsider.

This kind of official public research institute has a very good atmosphere for academic exchanges.

"As long as the transmission distance is considerable, the lightning mouse is weak. It can be used as a delivery prop to deliver some super deadly weapons to the enemy." Zhou Lu said thoughtfully.

For example, those strange mushrooms of Sister Xiaoqing.

Zhou Lu's words made the researchers think.

In this case, this kind of teleportation lightning mouse is not useless.

However, the specific usage depends on their transaction with the pioneer army.

Zhou Lu walked out of the research institute with the sample that Wu Xiaoqing needed.

"Did you get that skill just now?" Zhou Lu asked with concern.

Huahuo smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm running it all the time now."

What Xiaocaocao said about running all the time refers to the stupid [Doomsday Easter Egg].

With several skills that refresh skill cooldowns, Huohua can now attack Benben from all directions.

Since leaving New Yuezhou, Benben has died nearly two hundred times, an average of twelve times a day.

Well, considering that the duration of [Doomsday Easter Egg] is two hours, this means that Benben is basically dying all the time.

Of course, Zhou Lu's [Recycling] skill is also constantly refreshing.

Thinking of Benben who is still on the verge of death, Zhou Lu's mouth twitched slightly.

I always feel a little sorry for Benben, but this is what he strongly requested...

This subtle feeling is really hard to describe.

As he said this, Zhou Lu opened Huahuo's skill card, and then saw the race skill of the lightning mouse just now.

This skill is indeed space teleportation, but there is a distance limit.

The farthest is only about one hundred meters.

For spiritual beast battles, especially high-level spiritual beast battles, this distance is actually very dangerous.

"Speaking of which, why don't they directly check the race skills of these spiritual beasts through contracts?" Huahuo suddenly raised a question that lingered in his heart.

Zhou Lu said: "The contract that can directly view skills must be this kind of contract with a slot. Under this kind of contract, it is very difficult to cancel the contract, and no beastmaster will waste his slot like this."

And it must be a master-servant contract. Equal contracts that can be canceled at will do not have this ability to view skills.

Just like Yueya, it occupies a beastmaster slot of Zhou Lu, but Zhou Lu cannot see its relevant information.

Here, it is said that it is difficult to cancel the contract, but it is not difficult.

Just kill the spirit pet.

But there is still controversy in the scientific community about whether there will be any cost if this kind of thing is done too much, but one thing that is clear is that if this kind of thing is done too much, people will really go crazy.

Anyway, normal people will not easily try this behavior.

Just as Zhou Lu was about to continue explaining to Hua Huo, Wu Xiaoqing called impatiently.

"How is it! How is it! Did you get the sample?" Wu Xiaoqing said expectantly.

Zhou Lu picked up the petri dish in his hand: "I got it. But what kind of sample is this that makes you so concerned."

"A kind of bacteria with super infectious and lethal properties." Wu Xiaoqing said excitedly, "It can be transmitted through the air. After entering the host's body, it will multiply rapidly and eat all the cells it encounters around it..."

Zhou Lu was silent for a few seconds, and subconsciously swung his hand in a circle.

Wu Xiaoqing seemed to have guessed that Zhou Lu would do this, and shouted predictively: "Don't throw it away!"

"You have changed, senior sister! I will not let you get involved in such a terrifying research!"

"What's terrifying!" Wu Xiaoqing shouted, "This bacteria is very safe, okay!"

"This is still safe? It eats all the cells it encounters around it! It has super strong reproduction ability!"

"That's why! They haven't had time to multiply yet, and they were eaten up by their own people."

"..."
