“Ding ding ding! Ding ding ding ding! —!”
In Jianghuai City, waves of alarms were blaring wildly.
From the moment the new secret realm suddenly appeared, the disaster warning monitoring equipment immediately flashed a dazzling red light!
At the same time, almost at the moment the monitoring instrument sounded.
Many senior officials in Jianghuai City immediately received relevant information automatically transmitted by the equipment!
The government, military, and Beast Tamer Guild immediately arrived at the monitoring room to review the instrument monitoring results and discuss relevant response policies.
"Judging from the energy fluctuations, the new secret realm that appeared in the Green Mountain Wilderness Area this time should be a 4-star secret realm!"
A researcher in a white coat, holding a test report in his hand, had a serious expression on his face.
"According to the statistics below, 687 powerful communication bracelets have lost contact. This number is still increasing."
A secretary in a suit and glasses, clutching documents, also reported quickly, "Due to the relatively low level of the Qingshan Wilderness Area, and the fact that these days coincide with the start of field training for high school seniors... over 60% of the missing individuals are seniors from the city's major high schools. Because the entrance to the Freshman Secret Realm is currently extremely unstable, opening and closing intermittently, an effective rescue operation within the city is currently unsuccessful."
"So, for now, we can only use the powerful communication bracelets to notify all beastmaster teams and student teams in the Qingshan Wilderness Area to leave the Qingshan Wilderness Area as soon as possible and return to the city center."
"We have also issued a withdrawal notice to the troops and beastmasters originally staying at the supply base."
Since the entrance to the New Secret Realm was located in the Green Mountain Wilderness, it was also relatively close to the Green Mountain Wilderness Supply Base, which was also not very safe. The best option was to temporarily evacuate everyone.
After saying this, the secretary adjusted his glasses and continued to report to the crowd, "Because this is a four-star secret realm, Jianghuai City doesn't have the capability to explore it and provide effective rescue... So when the secret realm appeared, the mayor immediately called the Jiangnan Provincial Department."
"The provincial department just called back, saying they've already sent people to notify other nearby cities in Jiangnan Province and dispatched a large number of beastmasters to the rescue. They've also reported the appearance of the four-star secret realm to their superiors."
"According to the country's previous response policy, within three hours, powerful high-level beastmasters will be dispatched from all over the country to come to the secret realm to explore." The secretary's voice was steady and powerful, but everyone present frowned, especially the president of the Beastmaster Guild and the mayor of Jianghuai City, whose brows were almost wrinkled into the shape of a "川" (river shape).
All the secret realms in various countries on Blue Star are divided into 6 levels by humans.
From one star to six stars, they are divided according to different levels of danger and the richness of resources in the secret realm!
Jianghuai City is a small third-tier city, and the highest level of the surrounding area is originally a two-star secret realm!
Now that it has suddenly crossed over to the four-star secret realm, if the beastmasters in Jianghuai City have the ability to step into the four-star secret realm, it would be easy. They can enter the secret realm at the first time to plunder all kinds of natural treasures and make a fortune.
But the problem is that in Jianghuai City, the highest-ranking Beast Tamer so far is the President of the Beast Tamer Union...
He is also the only fifth-level elite beastmaster in the entire Jianghuai City.
However, in the four-star secret realm, fourth and fifth level beasts are standard, and many beasts have already broken through to the sixth level.
Even if you are unlucky sometimes, you might encounter a seventh-level monster in a four-star secret realm!
In this case, the guild leader, who was only a fifth-level elite beastmaster, could only protect himself when he stepped into this new secret realm.
It is almost a fantasy to safely rescue the six or seven hundred people who accidentally entered the new secret realm!
There is no benefit at all, and instead they get into a mess. So many people's lives depend on them, how can they not be unhappy?
"Don't worry, everyone. A four-star secret realm has appeared near Jianghuai City. While it's a surprise, think about the resources in this four-star secret realm and the subsequent development of the city... I estimate that within five years, Jianghuai City will be upgraded to a first-tier city. By then, maybe we can even compete with the provincial capital." Seeing the atmosphere in the meeting room was too depressing, Mayor Zhou Xinglong sighed and encouraged, "So don't be discouraged."
"Right now, the most important thing is to wait for our superiors to send rescue assistance. But we also need to reassure all citizens beforehand! Tell them not to venture into the New Secret Realm out of curiosity if they don't have the necessary skills!"
Zhou Xinglong glanced at everyone present and instructed them earnestly, "Also, all the supplies and vehicles for exploring and rescuing the various secret realms must be prepared in advance... Once the personnel sent by our superiors arrive, we must enter the secret realm immediately!... Also, observe and monitor at all times, and be prepared for battle. If any powerful alien beasts are discovered escaping from the entrance to the new secret realm, they must be eliminated immediately!"
"Never allow these wild beasts to approach the city!"
The emergence of the four-star secret realm is both an opportunity and a danger for Jianghuai City.
But the most important thing at the moment is to protect the residents in the city and rescue the six or seven hundred people who accidentally fell into the secret realm!
…
The appearance of a new secret realm in the Qingshan Wilderness Area is like a snowflake with legs.
Almost overnight, everyone in Jianghuai City, from centenarians to five-year-old children, knew about this.
Some people are happy while others are sad in Jianghuai City.
Some people believe that the emergence of the four-star secret realm can quickly drive up housing prices in the city and drive the large-scale development of schools, hospitals, etc.
They are about to move from being residents of third-tier cities to residents of first-tier cities! They will have access to richer social resources! Their children will be able to attend better schools, and their elderly will receive better medical care.
However, some people had sad faces and red eyes from crying.
These people are the families of the missing who have just received notification calls from the government.
Zhou Fangmei grabbed her cell phone and cried bitterly.
She never thought that she would get the news of her daughter's disappearance when she came back from work!
It is obvious that the Qingshan Wilderness Area is the safest wilderness area near Jianghuai City. In the past, except for a few unlucky people every year, few people would be killed in the Qingshan Wilderness Area.
After all, before the Green Mountain Wilderness Area merged with the Blue Star, it was just a lowest-level one-star secret realm.
The one-star secret realm was basically filled with Level 0, Level 1, and Level 2 exotic beasts, while the lowest level of exotic beast rental at the supply base was a Level 2 contracted beast. Therefore, for high school students, the safety factor was very high.
"Old Song, how could this happen? A four-star secret realm, this is a four-star secret realm! How do you expect Xiao Yu to survive in the secret realm? Not to mention encountering a sixth-order alien beast, even if she encounters a fourth-order or fifth-order alien beast, Xiao Yu can't withstand it!" Zhou Fangmei's eyes were filled with tears, and she grabbed her husband's arm and kept slapping and crying.
Song Wenhai sat on the sofa, smoking one cigarette after another, and the whole room was filled with smoke.
He had a sullen face and said nothing. Just like his wife thought, Song Wenhai was also worried about Song Yu's safety.
She’s my own daughter, so I know her well.
The other party has been a strong-willed person since childhood, even after experiencing the awakening of the Beast Taming Space and awakening into an F-level useless space.
My daughter still refuses to give up on becoming a beastmaster...
Fortunately, there is always a way out. The original Snow Spirit Cat cub had evolved to the third level in just three months, which was enough for my daughter to be admitted to any top beast taming university...
But the family had not been happy for a few days, as they never expected that their daughter would get into an accident in the Qingshan Wilderness Area, where they thought it was least likely to happen.
Song Wenhai's brows were almost wrinkled into a "川" shape, but what had happened had already happened and there was nothing he could do about it.
Judging from the situations every time we enter the secret realm, it is unlikely that our daughter will be rescued successfully in a short period of time this time.
I'm afraid we'll have to wait until the entrance to the secret space is stable.
The probability is that it will be very bad.
But my daughter...
He said he would never give up!
Unable to say this to his wife, Song Wenhai could only take a deep drag on his cigarette and console her, "I've already called Grandpa. He said he'd talk to the other family heads and ask if they'd be willing to team up with him and head to the New Secret Realm..."
"If they agree, I will follow the old man into the secret realm."
Song Wenhai patted his wife's shoulder and continued to comfort her, "After all, I'm a third-level beastmaster now. Even if I'm still a little weak to enter a four-star secret realm, at least I can team up with others and no one will refuse... If the old man can't convince the others, then I'll follow the other teams into the new secret realm."
"I called someone earlier and heard that this new secret realm is likely to be a world of ice and snow... So, don't overthink it. Help me prepare some food and clothes, including Xiaoyu's clothes... I'll take these clothes with me into the secret realm when the time comes."
To prevent his wife from thinking too much and to prevent her from being too sad.
Song Wenhai cheered up and asked Zhou Fangmei to help him pack his clothes.
Only by doing other things and distracting your attention can you avoid being sad to the point of despair and suffocation.
Song Qi sat in the living room, looking at his father with a sad face and his mother with tearful eyes, his hands on his knees unconsciously clenched into fists.
It would be great if he were a high-level beastmaster now, so that he could directly enter the new secret realm and would not have to wait anxiously at home like his parents.
…
The emergence of the four-star secret realm is a dimensionality reduction attack on Jianghuai City, a third-tier city.
But for those high-level beastmasters who are powerful and love to enter secret realms to plunder, it is the biggest surprise!
Especially these new secret places that have never been discovered and exploited for tens of thousands of years are the most popular in their eyes.
After receiving the news, many beastmasters rushed to Jianghuai City as quickly as possible!
Some of these people used space-based and flying beasts to travel quickly, while others took expensive private planes to travel quickly.
For a time, Jianghuai City, a once inconspicuous city, suddenly became the focus of discussion for everyone in the country.
You have to know that the resources of any four-star secret realm are enough to build and supply a first-level provincial capital! And in the past thousand years, there have only been more than thirty four-star secret realms in the country.
…
Song Yu and Bai Yuhan had no idea that there was chaos outside Jianghuai City at this moment.
But there is no need to guess, you know that the emergence of the new secret realm will definitely cause a widespread sensation.
It was snowing heavily outside the cave entrance, and it continued to snow all night long.
Song Yu was so sleepy that he was staggering, but he still had to get up in the middle of the night to shovel snow with Bai Yuhan.
It’s not that Qiuqiu and Xiaohei don’t want to help, but Qiuqiu is too big and it’s impossible to control him accurately.
Once Qiuqiu sweeps his claws and clears all the snow at the cave entrance with great power, the cave entrance will be exposed to the sight of other strange beasts, which is not suitable for hiding. Xiao Hei was injured before, and Bai Yuhan feels that this new secret realm is quite dangerous.
He discussed with Song Yu early on and let the Iron-Armored Tyrannosaurus Lizard eat the two ambergris plants in advance.
Now Xiao Hei is lying in Bai Yuhan's beast-controlling space, closing his eyes to rest and digest the medicine, hoping to break through to the second level in one fell swoop.
that's all……
Bai Yuhan and Song Yu rested in the cave for three days. When they were awake, they watched the snow, shoveled snow, and collected various branches and firewood. When they closed their eyes, they fell asleep.
Except for Song Yu who occasionally took out his cell phone to play with the dodder vine.
Song Yulian's usual activities of walking the cat and letting it out for a walk have also changed from the outside world to the beast-taming space.
Until outside the cave, the sky cleared up and the heavy snow began to stop.
Bai Yuhan opened his eyes and looked at Song Yu: "My contracted beast just broke through to level 2. I plan to go out and check the situation... Do you want to come with me?"
Although there was a lot of food in Song Yu's backpack, it was enough to sustain the other party for a month.
But now they have two people...
This forced Bai Yuhan to think about the next period of time.
If the beastmaster team outside cannot find them and rescue them on time within half a month.
Or maybe they were just unlucky and hadn't been able to find the fixed entrance to the new secret realm in half a month...
Once the food is gone, what happens next?
Therefore, in order to ensure that his future life would not be forced into a difficult situation, he had to make various preparations in advance.
In addition, secret realms are both dangers and opportunities.
Bai Yuhan also wanted to see if he could find any natural treasures suitable for Xiao Hei's evolution in this new secret realm.
By fighting with other beasts to hone your skills, you can evolve your initial contracted beast.
The natural treasures in this new secret realm can also be used.
"You want to go out?" Song Yu was stunned.
"Yes, I want to find some food and check around to see if there are other entrances and exits to the secret realm." Bai Yuhan nodded and answered seriously.
It takes about ten days to half a month for the entrance and exit of a new secret realm to be fixed, but during this period of time, the entrance and exit of the secret realm may suddenly appear in other places.
If you encounter it, it would be nice to get out of there.
Song Yu thought about it after hearing this, then nodded and said, "We've been in this cave for such a long time, it's time to go out and take a look."
Staying at home playing games, reading novels, drinking fat house happy water, and walking the cat, that's called enjoying life, being a happy salted fish.
But nestling in such a dark cave without even an electric light, listening to the howling wind outside, and getting up in the middle of the night to shovel snow, it was really a bit anxious.
Moreover, when a disaster occurs, it is not a wise move to wait for outside rescue.
The most important thing is that in this strange and secret place, your current place may not be safe.
As the saying goes, it is better to rely on yourself than on heaven or earth. Song Yu also wanted to go out and see the situation in the secret realm.
She rubbed her arms, which were sore from shoveling snow, and got up.
"Okay, I'll go out with you!"
"But..." Song Yu frowned and said hesitantly, "The level of this new secret realm is probably not low. What if I encounter a powerful monster? What should I do?"
Previously, when they fell directly into the snowy secret realm from the Qingshan Wilderness Area, it was a blizzard with howling winds.
In such a situation, the visibility range of the surroundings is extremely low, and most of the strange beasts will hardly come out of the cave.
But now the blizzard outside the cave has stopped, which makes it convenient for them to enter and exit, and also for other exotic beasts to go out hunting.
Song Yu: “…”
Song Yu looked wilted, and suddenly he was a little worried that he would become a meal for some strange beast after he went out.
Bai Yuhan stared at Song Yu for a long time, making Song Yu's scalp tingle.
The young man then calmly spoke, his face expressionless, "Exotic beasts all have the habit of marking their territory. Usually found in the secret realms of the icy wastelands, the most common high-level carnivorous exotic beasts are wolves, bears, eagles, and some high-level carnivorous plant-eating exotic beasts."
"Unlike the brown bears in the secret forest, these bear-like beasts living in the snow mostly prefer to hunt at night. Especially the high-level snow bear-like beasts, they have no habit of hiding their food after eating, so they never like to over-hunt. As long as we encounter it, we just need to run faster than other animals."
Bai Yuhan continued in a cold voice, "The running speed of cat-like beasts is more than twice that of bear-like beasts. So even if we encounter a Level 6 bear-like beast, as long as it doesn't attack by surprise... a Level 3 Snow Spirit Cat is more than enough to shake it off."
"Ah!" So that's it!
Song Yu suddenly understood and nodded with a look of learning.
Bai Yuhan glanced at Song Yu, a little puzzled, but didn't say much. Instead, he continued, "The same is true for wolf-like beasts. They prefer to hunt in groups at night and sleep and rest during the day. So unless there are special circumstances, generally speaking, the possibility of encountering a wolf-like beast besieging you during the day is very low."
Song Yu: “!”
Bai Yuhan: "Eagles are high-level exotic beasts. Due to their enormous size, with a wingspan of over ten meters... they rarely live near forests. They hunt in plains with wide views and live in caves near cliffs."
"Only those low-level eagle-like beasts with lower bloodlines and smaller bodies would choose to nest in the forest... So we choose to travel during the day and try to head towards the forest to avoid these three types of carnivorous beasts."
Song Yu nodded as he listened.
She blinked and looked at Bai Yuhan with a bit of admiration in her eyes.
At the same time, Song Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the academic male protagonist was indeed extraordinary.
Even in a new secret realm where he is not aware of the details, the other party can still analyze the surrounding environment clearly.
"So, as long as we are not too unlucky to encounter higher-level plant-like monsters, the danger level during our exploration in the wild can be reduced by a large margin?" Song Yu touched his chin. In this way, the situation was not as bad as he had imagined.
"Um?"
However……
Song Yu's words made Bai Yuhan frown subconsciously.
"Encountered a high-level carnivorous plant-like beast?"
Bai Yuhan's expression was serious and earnest. He looked at Song Yu with the stern gaze of a dean of education. "I remember you used to have pretty good grades in academic subjects in school. How come you even forgot the knowledge mentioned in the Exotic Beast Encyclopedia?"
Song Yu: “……?”
Bai Yuhan stared at Song Yu for more than ten seconds, and even the atmosphere in the cave seemed to become stiff.
Until Song Yu felt a little scared...
Bai Yuhan sighed and shook his head. "It's clearly written on page 236 of Volume 3 of the Exotic Beast Atlas: With the exception of some higher plant-type exotic beasts that prefer to live in swampy areas and stay in the dark... the vast majority of these plant-type exotic beasts can pull themselves out of the ground and move around freely, just like any other animal."
"But regardless of whether they can move and attack like animals, as plants, they naturally prefer to root their bodies in the soil, liking sunlight, water, and soil. Therefore, even carnivorous higher plant beasts do not need to eat daily, but mainly absorb nutrients from the soil..."
"Generally speaking, higher-level carnivorous plant-based monsters only hunt once a week or even once a month. As long as we don't get close to their habitat, they usually won't attack us."
"Plus, higher-level exotic beasts all have a tendency to be territorial and overbearing, and higher-level plant-based exotic beasts are no exception. So in this snowy area, in order to grab better sunlight and nutrients, they definitely won't allow other higher-level exotic beasts to approach their territory. They also won't allow other plants to steal their nutrients and sunlight."
"Because of the heavy snow falling everywhere, we can't observe the soil conditions."
"So after entering the forest, as long as we avoid places without any trees around, with excellent visibility and sunlight, we can basically stay away from higher plant-like monsters." Bai Yuhan said in a cold tone, and his expression seemed to have not changed at all.
But this calm attitude and composed tone can make people hear the strong confidence in the words of the young man in front of them!
Song Yu looked at Bai Yuhan's handsome profile, "..."
My eyelids twitched subconsciously, and I felt very complicated.
Song Yu withdrew his gaze and couldn't help but admire in his heart that Bai Yuhan was indeed worthy of being the protagonist of the novel.
Although the other party left him a lot of Qin family inheritance after his parents passed away, he had no way to claim it before he became a beastmaster.
An ordinary teenager whose parents have both passed away has all his free time occupied by working to pay for his tuition.
But Bai Yuhan not only works every day to make a living, but also squeezes out a lot of time every day to train physical fitness and fighting. He always ranks among the top in the exams in the whole grade every year and is very self-disciplined.
Even though Song Yu debuted as a child star in her previous life, her agent found a large group of teachers to help her with private lessons every day and her grades improved.
But she couldn't completely balance her studies and filming, if the academic requirements for the art college entrance examination were not lower, and only the academic scores would be considered.
Not to mention ranking in the top few in high school, she might not even be able to get into undergraduate school.
Not to mention the number of high schools and high school students on the two planets, which are not at the same level at all.
Thinking of this...
Song Yu silently shed tears of a poor student.
She wiped her face vigorously.
Fortunately, I didn’t learn anything else in my previous life. After more than 20 years of struggling in the entertainment industry, I still have a certain thickness.
She is already a nobody, why is she still obsessed with high school test scores?
Of course, this kind of thing cannot be expressed openly.
At least she has to have some dignity in front of the male lead.
then.
Song Yu raised his face, pretending to speak in a heavy tone, and said sadly, "My grades were good before. Didn't I have a high fever for a while and it damaged my brain? The high fever caused my memory to plummet. Last week, I took the cultural test at school and I only scored 27 points. The Beast Illustrated Book is so thick, it's normal that I can't remember it."
Bai Yuhan: “…”
Having said that, Bai Yuhan always felt that something was strange, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
But the other person's expression was very sincere and he didn't look like he was lying at all.
"Besides, my grades were not as good as you said before. There were sixty or seventy classes in the whole school, and it was difficult for me to even get into the top 100 in the grade." Song Yu hadn't performed for a long time, and suddenly he felt a little excited. When the desire to improvise came, it was really unstoppable.
Song Yu muttered, adding a bit of drama to himself: "You don't know, ever since that high fever, I get a headache every time I read. I can't memorize a single page in a whole day."
Song Yu raised his hand to cover his heart, his face full of sorrow and said: "You don't know how I have been living these days! How tormented I was in school!" So you see how much I am suffering, don't mention such heartbreaking words in the future!
Bai Yuhan: “…”
Bai Yuhan frowned as he looked at Song Yu. He paused for a moment, then thought for a moment and said seriously, "As for the sequelae of the high fever, we can have the healing contracted beast take another look at it when we get back. Since your academic performance is not good and you always have trouble remembering the knowledge in the textbooks, why don't you study with me during this time?"
“……?!” Song Yu widened his eyes, suspecting that there was something wrong with his ears.
"Exercise with me in the mornings, and recite the Exotic Beast Encyclopedia and other cultural books in the evenings." Bai Yuhan earnestly instructed, "Even if your memory isn't great, take time to recite these books every day. You'll naturally improve when you return."
Although, Bai Yuhan still felt that something was a little strange, but he couldn't put his finger on it... and the other person's expression did not look like that.
So the two of them will have to stay in this secret place in the snow for at least seven or eight days, or even longer.
Since you are classmates and the other person also wants to learn, it is reasonable to encourage him to study.
When he was in school, he often urged Han Zhou to study hard, and the effect was quite good.
Song Yu stuttered: "But, but there is no illustrated guide here."
Bai Yuhan remained extremely calm and said confidently, "I don't need an illustrated guide. I can memorize those things at any time."
Song Yu: “…”
…Help, help! She seems to have overacted!
She completely forgot that she had super acting skills. She just wanted to perform casually and was joking!
Bai Yuhan glanced at Song Yu twice, then felt that his words seemed a bit too stiff. After thinking for a moment, he encouraged her, "I used to be a tutor, and I've met many students with poor memory. But we can use outlines, lists, questions, and extension methods when studying."
Bai Yuhan: "There are 19 memory methods, there is always one that suits you."
Song Yu was so dumb that his face almost turned green. "..."
The young man looked at Song Yu with sincere eyes, "Let's start studying tonight."
Song Yu's muscles stiffened, and he said with a stiff upper lip, "...Okay."
What a sin! If she had known, she wouldn't have made such a slip of the tongue!
She feels guilty for deceiving an 18-year-old passionate boy!
No, she had no intention of lying before, she was just talking nonsense!
