My tamed beasts can't be demons.

Chapter 65 We're probably not the villains, right?

While Wu Xiaoqing was thinking, Huahuo was already rolling around in the mud.

When the firework rose from the mud, its entire shell was stained crimson.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Lu's blood pressure spiked.

He suddenly understood the feeling of seeing his own child rolling around in the mud wearing new clothes.

Sensing its owner's emotions, Hanabi immediately swung her vines to wipe the mud off her body.

It turns out that it had already coated its body with a thin layer of mucus when it landed.

Compared to the sticky baby's instinctive behavior of adjusting the viscosity of its mucus based on its emotions, the relatively intelligent Hanabi is more adept at adjusting the viscosity.

Under its adjustment, the mucus perfectly grasped the stickiness of the Vermilion Bird's dung, just like a dirty-looking glass bottle that could be wiped clean with a gentle swipe.

Zhou Lu smiled helplessly as he watched the silly fireworks display.

At this moment, Wu Xiaoqing quietly walked to Zhou Lu's side.

He had been wondering how Wu Xiaoqing planned to use her skills to "take the head of the army" in front of so many pioneers, capture the Thunderbird, and find the real culprit behind it.

Wu Xiaoqing handed a liquid-filled "water balloon" to Zhou Lu and said softly, "Have Huahuo use division to disperse these spores as much as possible."

"Oh, right, I used the purifying spit that I gave you," Wu Xiaoqing said.

Zhou Lu weighed the white "water balloon" in his hand and asked curiously, "What's this?"

"The spores of Amanita muscaria," Wu Xiaoqing said calmly. "Anyone who comes into contact with these spores will experience a brief hallucination for the next few minutes. And they will have absolutely no memory of it afterward."

"Holy crap... isn't this a divine artifact?" Zhou Lu exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the object in his hand.

"It's only a semi-finished product; it still has many flaws."

"for example……"

"Its illusion attack is indiscriminate, so only spirit beasts like the Cursed Frog can be immune to it. Otherwise, you would enter the illusion yourself as soon as you use it," Wu Xiaoqing explained.

Wu Xiaoqing couldn't help but recall the scene when she first discovered the Amanita muscaria:

"Haha! We've made some new progress!"

"Hmm! Let me see if the new mushrooms taste good!"

It induces hallucinations, and the memory is erased.

"Haha! We've made some new progress!"

……

If the cursed frog hadn't sensed Wu Xiaoqing's unusual condition and jumped out to relieve her abnormal state, Wu Xiaoqing felt she would probably have had to eat Amanita muscaria for three days.

Hearing Wu Xiaoqing's words, Zhou Lu silently gave up the idea of ​​using this as a trump card, at least until Huahuo obtained the Cursed Frog's purification skill.

Zhou Lu summoned the fireworks from afar back to life.

Hanabi ran over happily when she saw her owner calling her.

When it reached Zhou Lu, it seemed to remember something, so it used the vines to wipe all the mud off itself before climbing onto Zhou Lu.

Zhou Lu hurriedly took out two purification spits that Wu Xiaoqing had given him, put one in his mouth and poured the other on Huahuo's body as if watering it, and then quickly transferred the spores of the Dream Amanita to Huahuo's vines.

Hua Huo immediately understood Zhou Lu's meaning.

The vines, sticking to the spores, spread out as quickly as possible.

Each time a tractor is formed, it releases a portion of its spores.

Those around them only had time to see white smoke suddenly rise from the ground before they were plunged into a hallucination.

Seeing the hundreds of people around him suddenly freeze in place as if a pause button had been pressed, Zhou Lu felt a chill.

The illusion created by Amanita muscaria is instantaneous, meaning you're affected the moment you pop it.

Wu Xiaoqing and Zhou Lu were the only two people who were unaffected.

The spores released from the ground did not affect the spirit beasts patrolling in the sky.

They seemed to have noticed that their owner was in some kind of abnormal state, and were chirping anxiously.

Some of the spirit beasts had already begun to descend, intending to check on their masters' condition.

This scene suddenly gave Zhou Lusheng a feeling:

Why does it feel like we're the villains?

"Get to work! The effects of Amanita Muscat won't last long," Wu Xiaoqing shouted.

The fireworks in Zhou Lu's arms stretched out their vines, aiming at the thunderbird in the sky.

Then, it immediately stopped its rampant growth, and the vines quickly retracted, like a slingshot, throwing the entire Ghost Heart Purple Mushroom at the top of the vines into it.

After a period of rapid flight, the Demon Heart Purple Mushroom struck the Thunderbird with remarkable precision.

"I hit it! That's amazing!" Wu Xiaoqing shouted excitedly. "How can you be so accurate, Hanabi?"

Fireworks proudly raised its leaves upon hearing Wu Xiaoqing's praise.

Hehe, I practice every day!

Because Zhou Lu no longer allows fireworks to touch his cup, our little grass has started practicing the technique of using vines to flick insects into Zhou Lu's cup.

Compared to the various strange launch angles, this target is now extremely simple for Hanabi.

"Very well! Let me see who it is!"

Wu Xiaoqing looked at the Ghost Heart Purple Mushroom falling from the sky.

The moment it landed, the Ghost Heart Purple Mushroom shattered into purple specks of light, which, under the influence of some force, flew toward a certain person present.

These are spores of the Purple Heart Mushroom. They respect the last mark left on the host and seek out individuals marked with that mark to parasitize and reproduce.

However, when Wu Xiaoqing saw the other person's face clearly, a look of shock appeared on her face: "How could this be..."

"What's wrong, Xiaoqing?" Wu Xiaoqing asked with concern.

He followed Wu Xiaoqing's gaze and saw the person marked with the Ghost Heart Purple Mushroom.

Zhou Lu didn't recognize the other person, but he recognized the person's epaulettes.

Pioneer Army, Captain.

Zhou Lu was startled.

This was already considered a mid-level officer in the pioneering army, responsible for maintaining the developed secret realms.

For example, providing spirit beasts to safe zones, or dealing with high-risk spirit beasts that suddenly appear in secret realms.

At the same time, they are also responsible for security in the state where they are located, but they are not police departments, but more like local forces.

An officer in a local military unit turned out to be the murderer of a professor.

Zhou Lu immediately felt that the matter was somewhat absurd.

It's not that such a thing is impossible.

But if this is true, then this matter was handled far too carelessly.

Don't you have many subordinates?

Why bother doing it yourself?

"Sister Xiaoqing..." Zhou Lu waited for a long time, but Wu Xiaoqing did not make a move, so he asked with some concern.

Wu Xiaoqing took two deep breaths and said to Zhou Lu, "Let Huahuo recycle the Ghost Heart Purple Mushrooms that have grown on his body."

"Huh? Aren't you going to take revenge?"

"He will die a certain way, but I'm more curious now about who's behind him."

As they were talking, Huahuo quickly plucked the Ghost Heart Purple Mushroom from the man's body and handed it to Wu Xiaoqing.

The newly grown Ghost Heart Purple Mushrooms emitted a faint purple glow under the sunlight, and Zhou Lu could even see flowing purple liquid flowing within their caps.

really.

Looking at the liquid inside the cap of the Ghost Heart Purple Mushroom, Wu Xiaoqing's heart sank.

Another immortal.
