Chapter 26: Beast Tide



After a few people rested, they didn't rest for too long. Inspired by Eleven, they decided to continue catching earth rats for cultivation.

For the sake of their future, they had to let the earth rats go.

However, before they could leave, the loud speaker of the village committee of Baixi Village suddenly sounded.

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

At this time, hearing the content of the broadcast, Shi Yu and others changed their expressions.

"All villagers, please pay attention. All villagers, please pay attention: the city has issued a yellow warning signal for a beast tide. The city has issued a yellow warning signal for a beast tide."

"There is already a certain scale of ferocious beasts outside the city wall, gathering inward, and the scale is escalating."

"All departments and individuals are requested to make corresponding preparations according to the defense guidelines..."

"Shit!"

Surrounded by the voice, Chen Kai couldn't help but vent his emotions, and Zhuang Yue and Yu Jingjing also had obvious confusion and tension on their faces.

Beast tide?

Several people are familiar with the term beast tide.

Pingcheng District was rebuilt ten years ago because of a beast tide.

Although everyone was still young at that time, it was impossible for them not to know about this kind of thing.

The beast tide is coming again???

"Oh no."

When the four of them were confused, the farmer who was patrolling the farmland ran over to them.

"Children, the situation today is special, why don't you go back first."

"Uncle, what's the matter with the radio just now?" Shi Yu asked.

"I don't know, but it should be the animals on the snow mountain getting restless again."

"Yellow warning, it sounds serious. If the situation escalates, we may have to evacuate here."

The uncle was also confused, but looking at his expression, he didn't seem to be panicking.

At this time, Shi Yu also reacted and it was indeed not time to panic.

Unlike ten years ago, a high wall has been built between Pingcheng District and the dozen or so towns below and the snow mountain.

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

The so-called early warning is just to remind the residents of the surrounding towns and villages, and it does not mean that there will be real danger.

If there is really a danger of breaking the city, it will not be as simple as a yellow disaster warning.

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

Bingyuan City is located on the border, and its subordinate Pingcheng and the towns around Pingcheng are next to snow-capped mountains full of ferocious beasts.

This is why only Pingcheng and the two surrounding districts and counties were the first to bear the brunt of the beast tide ten years ago.

"What are you looking at? At this time, there must be cordons inside and outside the city walls. If you go there, you will cause trouble." Zhuang Yue said.

"Let's go back first." Shi Yu said.

Although it feels that nothing will happen, the atmosphere is tense at this time. It is better not to play whack-a-mole leisurely here and cause trouble for others.

Whack-a-mole can come at any time. It is more important to go back to the Beast Tamer Association and ask what this beast tide warning is.

The other three nodded. They were not very keen on whack-a-mole. After packing up, they quickly returned to Pingcheng.

Bingyuan City, Pingcheng District, Beast Tamer Association.

After finishing the whack-a-mole mission, the group explained the warning of Baixi Village to the staff at the front desk of the mission hall and asked what was going on.

"This..."

The staff at the front desk shook his head and said, "I don't know much about it either."

"But it seems that this is not the first time this month. The previous two times were blue warnings. Is it yellow this time?"

Shi Yu and others seemed very confused by this answer. This was equivalent to saying nothing...

Chen Kai was about to continue asking something, when suddenly, someone called his name from a distance.

"Chen Kai, Zhuang Yue!"

The voice came from a distance, which made Chen Kai and Zhuang Yue shudder and turned back subconsciously.

Shi Yu and Yu Jingjing also looked over and found that a beast tamer with glasses and a loyal and honest appearance came in the door.

He was only in his thirties, but his hair looked a little sparse, so he must be a strong man.

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

"Why are you here?"

This person is a teacher at Chen Kai and Zhuang Yue's school.

"I'm nearby. I just saw you guys chatting in the group, so I came to check it out. I didn't expect to run into you."

Just now, on the way back, Chen Kai and Zhuang Yue shared the yellow warning of the beast tide with their classmates in the class group, but they didn't expect that the diving teacher would see it.

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

Shouldn't it be normal for students to set up a group to play alone without their teachers?

If you do this, it will be difficult for group members to drive.

"Who are these two?" The person called Teacher Zhang looked at Shi Yu and Yu Jingjing.

Chen Kai said, "They are my friends, beast tamers from other schools."

Teacher Zhang smiled and nodded, "You are discussing the strange beast tide warning, right?"

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

"It won't happen again like before, right?"

Chen Kai knew that his teacher was a professional beast tamer and should know more inside information, so he asked immediately.

"It's too noisy here, let's talk outside." Teacher Zhang said.

Several people had no objection, and after leaving the mission hall, they began to walk around the buildings around the Beast Tamer Association.

Although he didn't know this teacher Zhang, Shi Yu followed him because he wanted to know what was going on.

If there is really danger... I have to prepare in advance and take Eleven to escape to the city.

Otherwise, the houses around the city center are expensive. Self-built houses in the countryside or even in the suburbs are cheap, but they are also close to the wild area, which is too dangerous!

On the stone path, Teacher Zhang looked at the group of young children and said, "You don't have to worry too much."

"It's very different now than it was ten years ago. The protective facilities around the snow mountain are very good."

"Even if there is danger, the Beast Tamer Association can respond quickly. If the Pingcheng Association is not strong enough to defend, the Beast Tamers in the city will come."

"If the Beast Tamers in the city are unable to defend, the Beast Tamers in the surrounding cities will also quickly support. At present, the creatures on this snow mountain are no longer a threat to Bingyuan City."

Chen Kai asked, "So what you mean, teacher, is that the beast tide may appear again?"

"At present, it is only a small-scale gathering of ferocious beasts. It is far less massive than the sudden mutation ten years ago..."

Zhuang Yue said, "The reason is that those ferocious beasts are all ice creatures. They should prefer the environment of snowy mountains to that of cities."

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

"But this shouldn't be the main cause of the beast tide in the snow mountain... After all, beast tides with this kind of cause are generally frequent and have signs, and they won't happen suddenly like they did ten years ago."

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

"But we don't know the exact reason. The fuse of the beast tide ten years ago is still an unsolved mystery."

"But if you want to make a guess, there is already an answer inside Icefield City."

"Do you know the history of Icefield City?"

Several people shook their heads.

"It's not really history, after all, it hasn't been fully confirmed, and it's just speculation."

"According to archaeological discoveries, there should have been no snowy mountains around Icefield City 2,000 years ago."

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

"This ice dragon is so powerful that even if it just lived nearby, it indirectly triggered the arrival of the Little Ice Age, causing great suffering to this beast tamer tribe."

"Afterwards, this beast tamer tribe decided to drive away the ice dragon. They formed a crusade department and launched a protracted war with the ice dragon in the mountains."

"It is said that this snow mountain was formed at that time."

Shi Yu asked, "Which side won?"

Teacher Zhang said, "It should be the beastmaster tribe that won."

"There is an ice dragon ruins on the snow mountain. It is said that the corpse of the ice dragon is sealed inside. It was sealed by the beastmasters at that time."

"Even now, the dragon's might can be heard from time to time around the ruins, but 2,000 years have passed. Even the ice dragon should have completely disappeared."

"There is a speculation that the sealed ice dragon turned into a spirit and influenced the beasts in the snow mountain. The dragon's might caused the beasts to lose their minds and retaliate against the city."

Shi Yu and others looked towards the snow mountain again.

Ice dragon undead?

This was the first time they had heard of this.

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

"That is one of the antiquities excavated by archaeologists. It is said that the stone giant is the totem of that tribe."

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

In the center of the park is a stone giant statue. The stone giant is an elemental supernatural life form, another kind of pet. It is placed here to increase the historical foundation of the Pingcheng Association and make this place look more historical.

"That tribe used this thing to defeat the ice dragon?" Chen Kai looked at the stone statue. He had not noticed this thing before. He thought it was a decoration, but he didn't expect it to be an antiquity in Bingyuan City.

Shi Yu and the others all focused their eyes on the stone giant statue. As they stared at it, Shi Yu's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

His brain suddenly buzzed, and his telepathic talent seemed to be passively activated, and he heard some strange sounds.

"It's not like that..."

"It's not like that..."

This sudden voice made Shi Yu shudder.

However, when he looked around, he found that there was nothing abnormal with Teacher Zhang, Chen Kai and others.

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Shi Yu looked back at the statue, his face turned pale, don't tell him that the sound came from this stone statue.

This stone statue has no signs of life at all. Isn't telepathy only able to hear the voices of living things? If the stone statue is abnormal, it would not be placed here!

"It's not like that..." Shi Yu could still hear the sound.
