The moment he saw this special symbol, Shi Yulian thought of many things and felt extremely complicated.
At this moment, he even began to doubt that his time travel was not an accident.
However, what made Shi Yu most complicated at this moment was not other messy things.
Rather, no matter in the past life or this life, he didn't know what this symbol represented...
What a pitfall!
Shi Yu thought to himself that it was a pitfall. If this symbol could be changed into Chinese, English, or Japanese, this wave would be a sure kill, but unfortunately it was not.
So at this moment, Shi Yu didn't have the feeling of tears in his eyes when he met his fellow villagers.
In addition, whether this symbol originated from the earth or this world is still unknown.
Shi Yu tried to use his telepathic talent [Listening to the Voice of History] to see if he could make any other discoveries.
But unfortunately, it seems that the opportunity has not yet arrived.
"Have you found anything?"
Lin Xiuzhu asked when he saw Shi Yu staring at the metal piece in a daze.
"Yes."
Shi Yu looked away and said a shocking news.
"This may be a fragment of an ancient iron-eating beast."
"What?" Everyone was confused.
Fragments of an ancient iron-eating beast? What suspected.
They all looked at Shi Yu in confusion, and they couldn't understand how this armor fragment was related to the iron-eating beast.
"Because the evolved form of the iron-eating beast may be wearing such a layer of armor."
"No, it's not wearing it, but the two are one." Shi Yu said.
He definitely couldn't say that he had seen this symbol. Even if he said it, he didn't know what this symbol meant at all, and it didn't make any sense.
However, in addition to this discovery, Shi Yu also found out that the color and texture of this metal sheet are similar to the evolutionary traces in the blood of the Iron-eating Beast.
"Are you serious?" Lin Xiuzhu looked at Shi Yu with a stunned expression.
"The evolved form of the Iron-eating Beast is wearing a layer of armor???"
"That should be right..." Shi Yu looked at the archaeology students and said, "Has the composition of this metal sheet been tested?"
"Not yet..." An archaeology student said, "This may require the use of the school's laboratory, and the testing is more troublesome and will take a long time."
This alloy containing extraordinary metal resources is much more difficult to detect than ordinary alloys on Earth, and current research has not yet reached this stage.
"Don't worry, please test its specific composition first."
"If we can detect the metal elements it contains, it may be an important part of solving the mystery of the evolution of the iron-eating beast."
Shi Yu looked at the metal piece. Maybe the iron-eating beast has to eat similar metal materials to complete its evolution?
This metal piece is a great discovery.
"Xiao Lin, contact the school." Lin Xiuzhu looked at the short-haired girl in a brown archaeological suit.
"Yeah." Xiao Lin nodded.
Lin Xiuzhu quickly understood what Shi Yu meant. After all, she is also an expert in the breeding of iron-eating beasts.
"You want to use the composition of this metal piece to infer the evolutionary material of the iron-eating beast?" she asked.
"Yes, but it shouldn't be that simple." Shi Yu nodded.
"It feels like eating alone is not enough to complete evolution... It's still unclear what that symbol means."
At this time, hearing the word "eat", Eleven woke up from his daze and looked at the metal piece in the glass container with bright eyes.
"Huh?"
Food?
"No!" Shi Yu denied.
"Please take me to see other ancient artifacts and the ruins outside." Shi Yu continued.
"Oh, I'll take you there." said the archaeological guy who first explained the basic information of the ruins to Shi Yu.
In a blink of an eye, after Shi Yu issued a task to everyone, he hurried to the next location.
Inside the tent.
The other archaeology students looked at the metal piece in the glass container and fell into deep thought.
Wait a minute, why do I feel like I'm being led away by the newcomer Shi Yu?
Shouldn't Shiyu be the one providing the information, and they continue investigating?
Why does it feel like Shiyu cares more about this than they do!
"I'll contact the school first." Xiaolin said, forget it, just go with Shiyu's statement, the metal piece is suspected to be part of the body of the evolved form of the Iron-eating Beast, which is indeed a bold guess that they had never imagined before.
…………
This Iron-eating Beast site is actually an underground site, and the degree of integrity is not very high.
Shiyu could only make do with the investigation, but what was more convenient was that this group of people had already restored and sorted out some of the information.
"There are only pictures of ordinary Iron-eating Beasts on the murals, and no image of Iron-eating Beasts wearing armor?"
Shiyu was slightly stunned after reading the sorted information.
Why is this happening?
Shi Yu simply didn't want to think about the information that couldn't be confirmed for the time being.
Next, he began to browse the special symbols recorded in the ruins.
Including the symbol on the metal plate, there were only 9 special symbols in total.
It was just because of the large number of repetitions that it looked like there were more.
Of these 9 symbols, 6 looked familiar to Shi Yu, and he had definitely seen them on Earth.
As for the other 3, they were a bit unfamiliar, but judging from the style, these 9 symbols must be matching.
If that piece of metal is really part of the evolved form of the Iron-eating Beast, does such a symbol engraved and branded on the armor have any special meaning?
"Senior..."
Shi Yu studied it in depth, and even kept trying to use his talent to see if he could see any spoilers.
However, he didn't see the picture, but he saw the big panda senior in a trance.
Lin Xiuzhu didn't know when he came to Shi Yu's side.
"I didn't expect you to care so much about this site." Lin Xiuzhu couldn't help but smile when he saw Shi Yu's concentration.
Everyone thought that Shi Yu was just here to provide information, but who knew that after Shi Yu arrived, he studied the site more vigorously than this group of archaeology students.
"Do you also want to figure out the evolutionary route of the Iron-eating Beast?" asked the panda senior.
"I..." Shi Yu said, "I guess so."
He actually didn't have much obsession with the evolution of the Iron-eating Beast. The reason he was so concerned about it now was purely out of curiosity.
Curious about what this site represented, curious about why this world had symbols similar to those in a certain mythological system on Earth.
If he didn't figure this out, Shi Yu felt that he would not be able to sleep well.
"Senior, you also want to know, right?" Shi Yu asked. One was the owner of the Pavilion Lin Hongnian, and the other was Lin Xiuzhu. It seemed that no one in the entire Pingcheng wanted to know the evolutionary route of the Iron-eating Beast more than the two of them.
Lin Xiuzhu had a tangled face.
"Indeed, but after hearing you say that the evolved form of the Iron-eating Beast might be wearing a suit of armor, I..."
"I feel that if this is the case, we won't be able to sleep on the big panda bed in the future... It's a bit of a pity."
Shi Yu:? ? ?
Good man, the reason for the entanglement is the same as his!
Is this a bosom friend!
Sure enough, different pandas, same usage.
"Hmm!" Eleven roared in protest on Shi Yu's thigh.
It has been several hours since I last trained, and I feel so uncomfortable all over.
It has been sleeping for several hours in a row to accumulate physical energy, and now it urgently needs high-intensity training to release it.
No, it's better to fight!
"What's the matter, Eleven, can't you resist the urge to train again?" Lin Xiuzhu smiled slightly, knowing Eleven very well.
Eleven: QAQ
"I came here to say that it's getting late now. Thanks to the news you brought, everyone has a new research direction, and they want to invite you to have a meal together." Lin Xiuzhu said.
Eat?
"Uh." Shi Yu glanced at the time, it seemed to be late.
It felt like he had just finished lunch, and now it was time for dinner.
"Of course, this is no problem..." Shi Yu rubbed his stomach.
Well, there is no way to continue researching on an empty stomach, right? Dry food is more important.
Next, Shi Yu paused thinking and pressed Eleven at the same time: "Let's go have a meal together, and then I'll let you go to training."
He actually wanted to let Eleven go to training a long time ago, but this is the ruins of the Iron-Eating Beast after all, and he felt that if he brought Eleven with him, there might be some kind of magical BUFF bonus.
But now it seems that the mascot Eleven is a bit weak...
Eleven: (σ｀?д?)σ Then I'll stay with you for a while.
Outside, when Shi Yu followed Lin Xiuzhu out, the other seven people were already waiting.
Everyone was going to have dinner at the hotel at the foot of the mountain. As for here, just leave it to the pet to take care of.
If the contract pet is not for the convenience of slacking off, it will be meaningless.
Pet: MMP
...
Dinners are a good way to communicate. Originally, Shi Yu and everyone were not familiar with each other, but as soon as they arrived at the dinner table, they immediately started to communicate.
"What, you plan to apply for the Department of Archaeology at the University of Archaeology in the future?"
Everyone chatted and chatted, and then talked about Shi Yu, and then everyone finally knew why Shi Yu was so focused in the afternoon.
It turns out that he is a future junior with clear goals.
"This department is a big pit. Archaeology will ruin your life. Have you heard of that?"
Zheng Yingjie, the archaeologist who often takes the initiative to answer questions for Shi Yu, said with a sad face. He is the leader of this archaeology team.
Other students from the archaeology department also nodded, and Lin Xiuzhu wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.
"Ah? So bad?"
"Why did you apply for this department if you didn't like it..."
Shi Yu drank a sip of soup to suppress his surprise. He wanted to hear the advice of future seniors.
Senior Lin Yuer, who has the same surname as Senior Panda, said: "Are you just unable to think straight?"
In fact, although the ultimate goal of archaeology is to restore the historical truth, there are a few young people who have such a high level of ideological awareness.
Archaeology is popular in this world because ancient ruins hide many secrets and even opportunities from mythical times.
Because some lucky people get the opportunity to rise quickly from these ruins, this industry has attracted many people who think they are the sons of destiny.
There are very few people who really want to restore history to the truth.
The vast majority of people enter this industry hoping that they can get some benefits from ancient ruins.
In addition, the Department of Archaeology is indeed the trump card major of the Ancient Capital University, and the resource allocation is higher than that of the Combat Department. Suddenly, many people applied for the exam.
However, after studying this major, I realized how hard it is. It is not so easy to find relics with opportunities.
Most of the time, I can only stare at a pile of antiques and learn some techniques and knowledge that are useless in fighting...
Because of this, although there are many applicants for the Archaeology Department of the Ancient Capital University every year, the number of people who change their majors is also very huge...
"The Animal Husbandry Department is actually very good, it's easy and comfortable. The Medical Department is also good, there are a lot of young ladies. Although the Combat Department is a bit tiring, you have to train every day, but strength is the capital of a beastmaster. If you can represent the school in the national competition in the future, then you will be successful. After all, it is a competition that attracts the attention of the whole country... It is better than the Archaeology Department that deals with antiques and ancient tombs." A fat senior sighed.
Several other people also expressed their opinions, saying that they regretted applying for the Archaeology Department.
The few people who were able to successfully enter the ace major of the Ancient Capital University must be very talented. Each of them is estimated to have become a professional beast tamer before the age of 20. However, even such a group of geniuses only have regrets in their hearts at this time, extremely regretful!
When Shi Yu heard this, he was stunned. My goodness, all of them are dissatisfied with their majors.
Is the Department of Archaeology really so bad?
"But from my experience..." Lin Xiuzhu said silently: "Your situation is too common. In fact, students who apply for the Combat Department, Animal Husbandry Department, Research Department, and Medical Department also think that their majors are not good..."
To put it bluntly, the essence is that they like novelty and dislike the old, and they want to resign when they see something different.
Lin Xiuzhu complained in his heart, if you had been more serious when investigating the ruins, the research progress would not be so slow!
During the process of investigating the ruins, this group of people must have spent half of their time slacking off and training their pets. Their professional qualities are not up to standard!
Lin Xiuzhu felt that if he were a teacher, he would definitely let them fail the course.
"Anyway, if I were given another chance, I would definitely choose the combat department!" Zheng Yingjie sighed, "Let's see if there is a chance to change majors in the future."
Shi Yu: "..."
Archaeology is a hard job.
If you don't have a little love for it, it's normal that you can't stick to it.
"But I feel that if this site investigation reveals something, maybe this archaeology department is not a bad place to stay?" A horse-faced senior analyzed.
"Let's follow Shi Yu's idea first, maybe we can really gain something." Senior Lin Yu'er said.
Zheng Yingjie nodded: "If we can really cooperate with Senior Lin to research the evolution of the iron-eating beast, the university will be stable, and we can use this as our graduation project."
Listening to everyone's discussion, Shi Yu suddenly overturned his opinion of the Archaeology Department of the Ancient Capital University.
And named the archaeological team led by Zheng Yingjie: "The Seven Heroes of Archaeology".
"Anyway, I have to thank Shi Yu this time, haha." Zheng Yingjie said with a smile: "When you come to the Ancient Capital University in the future, we will protect you."
Without the information on the evolution of the iron-eating beast provided by Shi Yu, it would be difficult for them to carry out subsequent research.
"Thank you..." Shi Yu felt unreliable.
He felt that this group of people, although they were the best in dozens of secondary cities around the ancient capital, were super geniuses.
But in the ancient capital university, they should be typical poor students...
I felt that there was no future in clinging to them after entering the school, it would be better to cling to the beast-eared girl senior.
The vice president of the battle club is a big shot in the school.
"Junior, when do you plan to apply to the ancient capital university, the year after next?" said the chubby senior.
"I heard from senior sister Lin that the iron-eating beast was your initial pet, but I think its growth level doesn't seem to have reached the extraordinary level yet?"
"No, I plan to take the professional assessment this year."
"There are still four months, it should be in time, although its growth level is slightly lower, but its combat power is still okay." Shi Yu explained.
The fat senior was startled and said, "You're confident, that's good! By the way, what's the difference between a Iron-Voiceover that has awakened ancient blood and an ordinary Iron-Voiceover? Is the difference only in the multiplication skills?"
"I'm a little curious. How about, after dinner, do you want to have a friendly sparring match? I also have a new pet that hasn't reached the extraordinary level yet. By the way, let's get to know the information of the Iron-Voiceover with ancient blood, so that we can write more information in our homework..."
"Huh." The fat man's words startled several archaeology students around him. Yes, this fat man is smart. He knows not to put any information related to the final assignment.
Shi Yu's iron-eating beast that has awakened its ancient bloodline is the starting point for the subsequent research of the site. It is definitely right to understand it.
"Fight?" Lin Xiuzhu curled his lips and said, "Why do I feel that you want to bully my junior?"
A new pet trained by a professional beastmaster and a pet of an apprentice beastmaster are of the same level, but the training intensity must be completely different! The
fat senior looked innocent and said, "No, I just want to improve my homework. If the homework is not up to standard, I will fail this year... By the way, I will guide my junior. The professional assessment is very difficult now. After all, I am an experienced person."
"Ah?" Before Shi Yu could say anything, Shiyu's pocket suddenly popped its head out.
It felt the breath of battle.
Shi Yu looked down and was speechless.
"Nothing, nothing." Shi Yu could only say, "My Iron-eating Beast has been sleeping for a whole day, and I just want to move around. It's no problem to have a sparring session with the senior later."
