My tamed beasts can't be demons.

Chapter 87 Encounter and Camping

Leishan Secret Realm is shrouded in thunderclouds all year round, and it is said to be the place where ancient immortals underwent tribulations.

The creatures here are constantly at risk of being struck by lightning, which has led to the evolution of various magical beasts specializing in electric abilities.

The Thunderbird is a mythical beast unique to the Leishan Secret Realm.

It should have become a spirit beast like the little sparrow, but unfortunately the Thunder Pattern Custard Tree in the Thunder Mountain Secret Realm has long since disappeared, causing a group of spirit pets that need Thunder Pattern Custard Fruit to evolve to be gradually eliminated by the beast tamers.

Fortunately, although the main production area of the Thunder Pattern Custard Tree is the Thunder Mountain Secret Realm, it is not unique to spirit beasts, and Thunder Pattern Custard Trees are occasionally produced in other secret realms as well.

As soon as Zhou Lu and Hua Huo entered the Leishan Secret Realm, they saw dark clouds filling the sky.

Lightning flashed between the clouds, and every now and then a streak of crimson thunder would streak across the sky to the horizon, followed by a deafening roar.

The entire Leishan Secret Realm was basically in a state of darkness.

Walking here, Zhou Lu even felt like he was playing the game "Famine".

The teleportation point was surrounded by trees that had been struck dead by lightning.

However, one can still vaguely see new green buds sprouting on these trees.

Over the years, the plants here have developed a strong resistance to lightning strikes.

To prevent their species from catching fire after being struck by lightning, they mostly have maxed out their fire resistance.

In the very beginning of the Beast Taming Era, the wood from the Thunder Mountain Secret Realm was even used as a fireproofing material for buildings.

Zhou Lu raised his head and gazed into the distance.

Beneath the gloomy sky, the black forest swayed in the breeze.

On the mountain ridge at the far end, a large, crimson bird is stirring up a sky full of thunder.

It seemed to be fighting against someone.

Although it was too far away to see clearly, Zhou Lu guessed that it was the Great Thunderbird.

What a damn coincidence...

The Great Thunder Sparrow and the Nine Difficulties Candle Dragon actually came from the same place.

That's all the information the system has provided. He'll have to find out where the Nine Difficulties Candle Dragon's egg is on his own.

A teleportation node typically covers an area of hundreds of kilometers. Searching for an egg within this area would likely take a considerable amount of time.

Although Zhou Lu was very interested in quasi-gods, he was still aware of his own limitations.

It's best not to get involved in battles at the quasi-god level.

At most, we'll wait until the crisis is over, then go to the Great Thunderbird's nest to see if there's anything we can pick up.

Hmm, I guess we should look for Leishan Crystal first.

This stuff is much easier to find; it can be found anywhere in the mountains of Leishan Secret Realm.

After all, it is a crystal rich in lightning-attribute elements formed after a stone has been struck by lightning for many years.

Zhou Lu withdrew his gaze and looked at a few people not far away.

They were fully armed and equipped with high-tech equipment that looked extremely expensive.

The spirit pets beside them, judging from the illustrations they had memorized, were all third-tier spirit beasts.

One of the middle-aged men even had a divine thunder moon python perched on his shoulder.

This is known as the strongest electric-type spirit pet in the third tier.

Although these so-called strongest are all controversial, they have indeed achieved results through the Beast Taming Competition.

However, this middle-aged man was not the leader of this group.

When Zhou Lu looked at them, the middle-aged man was speaking respectfully to a young man.

The young man looked impatient and mumbled something, but Zhou Lu couldn't hear him because of the thunder.

They must have come for the Great Thunderbird.

Zhou Lu thought to himself.

Just as he turned to leave, someone walked over from the other side.

"What brings you here, young man?" He asked with a smile, seeming very approachable.

But Zhou Lu had social interactions in his previous life, so his feigned kindness was still quite obvious.

While speaking, the man kept glancing at the fireworks next to Zhou Lu.

Clearly, the species of Hanabi is so rare that the other party did not recognize it.

They worried that it was some kind of powerful spirit pet, and thus suspected that Zhou Lu was one of the beast tamers who came to capture the Great Thunderbird.

At times like these, it's crucial not to show weakness.

Zhou Lu glanced at the other person briefly and said, "I'm here to find Thunder Mountain Crystal."

With that, he picked up the fireworks and headed in the direction he had chosen to leave.

Hanabi seemed to dislike these people, made a face at them, and then jogged away following Zhou Lu.

The young master also noticed the commotion on Zhou Lu's side, looked at the middle-aged man beside him, and asked, "What's going on over there, Uncle Pei?"

The middle-aged man, referred to as Uncle Pei, immediately said, "I've never seen his spirit pet before, and it's not recorded in the encyclopedia, so I'm going to find out more about it."

"Are you all brainless?" The young master looked at him with disdain. "You don't recognize the spirit pet? Don't you recognize the school badge on its chest?"

"Students from Xin'an Beast Taming Academy, if they've already reached the third rank at this age, it's impossible for them to be completely unknown. They're probably just students who happened to be passing by." The young master waved his hand and said, "Keep a low profile, we need to keep a low profile, understand? I don't want our family to end up like the Gu family, with someone coming to our door and wiping out our entire family."

Upon hearing the young master's words, Uncle Pei was immediately shocked: "Don't say such things carelessly!"

The Gu family mentioned by the young master seemed to terrify Uncle Pei.

Seeing Uncle Pei's reaction, the young master grinned and sneered, "What's wrong with saying this? Hasn't the higher-ups already classified it as burglary? Blame it on Gu Linfeng for being too arrogant, always bragging about wanting to live forever. Look, he died before he was even twenty."

"The once mighty first family of Fengzhou, the main family is gone just like that." The young master strode towards the direction of the Great Thunderbird.

Zhou Lu walked for a long time before stopping at the foot of a mountain ridge.

He observed the surrounding environment and felt that this was a very good temporary campsite.

He wasn't sure how long he would have to stay here to find the Nine Difficulties Candle Dragon's egg, so building a temporary camp was very important.

"Hanabi, bring out the tent." Zhou Lu beckoned to Hanabi.

Clang, clang, thump, thump!

Hanabi pulled out a tent bag from the snail shell on her back.

"Yes, and a campfire stand."

Hanabi quickly pulled out a campfire stand.

Zhou Lu squatted on the ground and began assembling the tent and campfire stand.

After assembly, I took the fireworks and went to the surrounding area to cut some wood, and made some simple alarm devices and traps.

With the help of fireworks, these can be made very quickly.

"Did you bring fuel?" Zhou Lu asked.

The wood in Leishan Secret Realm is not easy to burn, so you need to carry fuel specifically.

Hanabi showed a happy expression:

(*^▽^*) Hanabi thought of everything!
