Chapter 25 - Chapter 26: Beast Wave

After the several people rested, they actually didn't rest for too long, infected by Eleven, they decided to continue capturing earthbound rats for cultivation.

 For the sake of their future, they would have to condescend to the earthbound rats.

 However, before they had the chance to move, the loud speaker of the village council of this Baixi Village suddenly rang out.

 This broadcast was so loud that even Shi Yu and the others, who were far away from the center of the village, could hear it clearly.

 At this moment, hearing the content of the broadcast, Shi Yu and the others had their faces changed.

 "Attention all villagers, attention all villagers: the city has issued a yellow warning signal for the beast tide, the city has issued a yellow warning signal for the beast tide."

 "There are already a certain scale of ferocious beasts gathering inwards outside the city walls, and the scale has a tendency to escalate."

 "Please have all departments as well as individuals make the appropriate preparations according to the defense guidelines ..."

 "Crap!"

 Under the sound surround, Chen Kai couldn't help but vent his emotions, and the faces of Zhuang Yue and Yu Jingjing also clearly had the color of bewildered nervousness.

 Beast tide?

 A few people were no strangers to the term Beast Tide.

 Ten years ago, the Ping Cheng District was rebuilt because of a beast tide.

 Although the crowd was still young at that time, it was impossible for such a thing to be unclear.

 The beast tide was here again?

 "Not good."

 When the four were confused, the farmer uncle patrolling this side of the farmland ran to their side.

 "Children, today's situation is special, or else you can go back first."

 "Uncle, what happened to that broadcast just now?" Shi Yu asked.

 "I'm not sure, but it should be the animals on the snowy mountains getting restless again."

 "Yellow warning, sounds pretty serious, if the situation escalates, maybe we'll have to evacuate this place."

 The older man was also puzzled, but looking at his expression, there wasn't much panic.

 At this time, Shi Yu also reacted, indeed it wasn't time to panic yet.

 Unlike ten years ago, the current Ping Cheng District, as well as the dozen or so townships below it and the snowy mountains, had already established a high city wall.

 Inside and outside the city walls were stationed the Imperial Beastmaster Association's Imperial Beast Corps, who were the first line of defense against the beast tide.

 The so-called early warning was just a reminder to the residents of the surrounding townships, it didn't mean that there would really be danger.

 If there really would be a danger of breaking through the city, it wouldn't be as simple as a yellow disaster warning.

 "Why don't we go over and take a look?" Chen Kai proposed.

 Ice Plains City was located at the edge of the national border, and the subordinate Ping City as well as the towns and villages around Ping City were even next to the snowy mountains that were filled with ferocious beasts.

This was also the reason why ten years ago only Ping City and the two districts and counties around it bore the brunt of the beast tide.

 "What are you looking at, at a time like this the city walls and the inside and outside of the city must be covered with a cordon, aren't you messing things up if you go." Zhuang Yue said.

 "We'd better go back first." Shi Yu said.

 Although he felt that nothing would happen, the atmosphere was tense at this time, so it was better not to cause trouble for others by leisurely gophering here.

 Gophering could come at any time, it was more important to go back to the Imperial Beast Master Association and ask what was going on with this Beast Tide Warning.

 The other three people nodded, not too strong on gopher hunting, and after a few people packed up, they quickly returned to Flat City.

 Ice Plains City, Flat City, Imperial Beast Master Association.

 After the several people ended the gopher hunting quest, and explained to the staff at the front desk of the quest hall about the warning from White Brook Village, asking about what was going on.

 "This ..."

 The staff member at the front desk shook his head and said, "I'm not really sure."

 "But it seems like this isn't the first time this month, the previous two times it was a blue warning, is it yellow this time?"

 For this answer, Shi Yu and the others looked confused, this is equivalent to not saying anything ah ...

 Chen Kai was just about to continue asking something, when suddenly, someone called his name in the distance.

 "Chen Kai, Zhuang Yue!"

 The voice came from the distance, causing Chen Kai and Zhuang Yue's bodies to jolt and subconsciously turn back.

 Shi Yu and Yu Jingjing also looked over and found that a Royal Beastmaster with a loyal and honest appearance, wearing glasses, had come in at the door.

 The other party was also in his thirties, but his hair looked a bit thinned out, so he should be a strong person.

 "Teacher Zhang ...," Chen Kai and Zhuang Yue said.

 "Why are you here."

 This person was a teacher from Chen Kai and Zhuang Yue's school.

 "I was in the neighborhood, and I just saw your chat in the group, so I came over to take a look, and I didn't expect to run into you guys just in time."

 Just now, during the return trip, Chen Kai and Zhuang Yue had shared the matter of the Beast Tide Yellow Alert with their classmates in their class group, and they didn't expect to just happen to let the diving teacher see it.

 "So you guys are actually chatting in a class group with a teacher?" Shi Yu looked at this group of strange students and thought to himself.

 Shouldn't the normal situation be that the students don't bring their teachers and create a separate group to play with?

 With you guys doing this, the group members are not good at driving.

 "These two are?" The person who was addressed as Teacher Zhang looked towards Shi Yu and Yu Jingjing.

Chen Kai said, "They are my friends, the imperial beast masters from other schools."

 Teacher Zhang smiled and nodded, "You guys are wondering about the beast tide warning, right?"

 "Yes, teacher, is the situation serious this time?"

 "There won't be another situation like before, right?"

 Chen Kai knew that his own teacher was a professional Imperial Beast Master and should know more inside information, so he immediately inquired.

 "The sound here is too noisy, let's go out and talk." Teacher Zhang said.

 Several people had no problem with this, and went out of the mission hall and began to walk around this complex of buildings surrounding the Imperial Beast Master Association.

 Although he didn't recognize this Teacher Zhang, Shi Yu, who wanted to know what was going on, also followed.

 If there is really a danger ... one has to prepare in advance and take Eleven to escape the road to go inside the city center.

 Otherwise, the house around the city center is expensive, and the self built house in the countryside or even the self built house in the suburbs is cheap, but the distance from the wild zone is also close ah, too dangerous!

 Between the stone pathways, Teacher Zhang looked at the group of young kids and said, "You guys don't have to worry too much."

 "It's a lot different from ten years ago now, the protective facilities around the snowy mountains are very well done."

 "Even if danger does arise, the Imperial Beastmaster Association will be able to react quickly, and if the Ping Cheng Association's forces are not enough for defense, the Imperial Beastmasters in the city will come over."

 "If the Imperial Beast Corps in the city is unable to defend, the Imperial Beast Corps in the surrounding cities will also quickly support them, and currently, the creatures in this snowy mountain are no longer enough to pose a threat to the Ice Plains City."

 Chen Kai asked, "So teacher, what you're saying is that there's a possibility that the beast tide will reappear?"

 "Currently, it's still just a small gathering of ferocious beasts, far less powerful than the sudden mutation ten years ago ..."

 Zhuang Yue spoke, "What about the reason, aren't those ferocious beasts all ice-based creatures, they should prefer the environment of the snowy mountains to the city."

 "The book says that the shortage of food and resources, and the excessive pressure of competition are the main reasons for the emergence of the beast tide." Shi Yu looked in the direction of the snowy mountains.

 "But this shouldn't be the main reason for the beast tide in the snowy mountains,... after all, beast tides of this kind of reason are usually very frequent and have signs, rather than occurring suddenly like ten years ago."

Teacher Zhang looked at Shi Yu and nodded, "That's right."

 "But what exactly is the reason, we are not sure, the trigger for that beast tide ten years ago is still an unsolved mystery."

 "But if we want to talk about speculation, there is already an answer within Ice Plains City at the moment."

 "Do you guys know the history of Ice Plains City?"

 Several people shook their heads.

 "It's not really a history, after all, it hasn't been fully confirmed, it's just speculation at the moment."

 "According to archaeological discoveries, there shouldn't have been a snowy mountain environment around Ice Plains City 2000 years ago."

 "This was the territory of a rather developed tribe of imperial beastmasters in the ancient country at that time, but later, an ice dragon flew in from afar and landed on the surrounding mountains."

 "This ice dragon was so powerful that even if it was just perched around, it indirectly triggered the descent of the Little Ice Age, causing this Imperial Beastmaster tribe to suffer greatly."

 "Subsequently, this Imperial Beastmaster clan decided to expel the Ice Dragon, and they formed a crusading department and waged a protracted battle with the Ice Dragon in the mountain range."

 "This snow mountain, it is said, was formed at that time."

 Shi Yu asked, "Which side won?"

 Teacher Zhang said, "It should be that Imperial Beastmaster tribe that won."

 "There is an ice dragon relic on top of the snowy mountain, and it is said that the bones of that ice dragon are sealed inside, sealed by the Imperial Beastmasters of that time."

 "Even now, dragon might still emanates from around the relic from time to time, but it's been 2000 years, even that ice dragon should have completely died out."

 "Currently, there is a speculative theory that that sealed ice dragon, transformed into a spirit body, is influencing those ferocious beasts in the snowy mountains, and the dragon's might has caused the ferocious beasts to lose their minds and retaliate against the city."

 Shi Yu and the others once again looked in the direction of the snowy mountains.

 Ice dragon dead spirit?

 This was the first time they had heard of this matter.

 Teacher Zhang pointed to a stone giant statue not far ahead and said, "See that one."

 "That one is one of the ancient artifacts excavated by the archaeologists, and it is said that the stone giant is the totem of that tribe."

 As they chatted, they had walked to a huge park.

 In the center of the park, there was a stone giant statue, stone giants were elemental type transcendent beings, another type of favored beasts, placed here to add to the historical heritage of the Flat City Association, to make the place appear to have a bit of a historical atmosphere.

 "That clan was the one that imperialized this thing to defeat the Ice Dragon?" Chen Kai looked towards the stone statue, he hadn't even paid attention to this thing before, he had thought that it was a decoration, but he didn't realize that it was still an ancient artifact of the Ice Plains City.

 The gazes of Shi Yu's few people were placed on the stone giant statue, staring and staring, Shi Yu's heart suddenly raced.

 His brain roared violently, as if his telepathic talent was passively in effect, and he heard something strange.

 "It's not like this ..."

 "Not like this ..."

 This sudden voice caused Shi Yu's entire body to jolt.

 However, when he looked around, he found that Teacher Zhang, Chen Kai and the others were not abnormal.

 Suppressing the shock in his heart, Shi Yu looked back at the statue again, his face turned white, never tell him that the voice came from this stone statue.

 This stone statue, there is no sign of life at all ah, telepathy is not only able to hear the heart of living beings, if the stone statue is not normal, it will not be placed here!

 "It's not like this ..." Shi Yu could still listen to the voice.
