After a few people rested, they didn’t actually rest for too long. Infected by Eleven, they decided to continue capturing earth-walking rats for training.
For the sake of their future, they have no choice but to accept the consequences.
However, before they had time to leave, the loudspeaker of the Baixi Village Committee suddenly sounded.
The sound of this 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, when Shi Yu and others heard the broadcast content, their expressions changed.
"All villagers, please pay attention. All villagers, please pay attention: the city has issued a yellow early warning signal for a beast tide. The large-scale ferocious beasts are gathering inward, and the scale has a tendency to escalate."
"Please make appropriate preparations according to the defense guidelines..."
"Lying. Fuck!" Surrounded by the sound, Chen Kai couldn't help but vent his emotions, and Zhuang Yue and Yu Jingjing also had a look of confusion and nervousness on their faces.
Animal tide?
A few people are familiar with the term beast tide.
Ten years ago, Pingcheng District was rebuilt because it encountered a beast tide.
Although everyone was still young at that time, it was impossible not to be unclear about this kind of thing.
The beast tide is coming again? ? ?
"It's not good."
When the four of them were confused, the farmer uncle who was patrolling the farmland came to them.
"Children, today is a special situation, otherwise you should go back first."
"Uncle, what happened to the broadcast just now?" Shi Yu asked.
"I don't know, but the animals on the snow-capped mountains must be restless again."
"Yellow warning sounds quite serious. If the situation escalates, maybe We still have to evacuate here."
The uncle was confused, but looking at his expression, he didn't feel much panic.
At this time, Shi Yu also realized that it was indeed not the time to panic yet.
What is different from ten years ago is that high city walls have been built between Pingcheng District and the dozen or so towns below and the snow-capped mountains.
The Beast Taming Corps of the Beast Taming Masters Association are stationed inside and outside the city walls. They are the first line of defense against the beast tide.
The so-called early warning is just to remind residents of surrounding towns and villages. It does not mean that there is real danger.
If there is really a danger of destroying the city, it will not be as simple as a yellow disaster warning.
"How about we go over and have a look?" Chen Kai suggested.
Bingyuan City is located on the edge of the border, and its subordinate Pingcheng and the towns around Pingcheng are even close to the snow-capped mountains filled with ferocious beasts.
This is why ten years ago, only Pingcheng and two surrounding counties and counties were the first to bear the brunt of the beast tide.
"What are you looking at? At this time, there must be cordons inside and outside the city wall. You goIsn't that causing trouble? "Zhuang Yue said.
"We'd better go back first. " Shi Yu said.
Although I feel like nothing will happen, the atmosphere is tense at this time, so I'd better not cause trouble to others by playing whack-a-mole leisurely here.
Whack-a-mole The rats can come at any time. It is more important to go back to the Beast Controllers Association and ask what the beast warning is all about.
The other three nodded, but they were not too strong about the whack-a-mole. , a few people packed up and quickly returned to Pingcheng.
Bingyuan City, Pingcheng District, Beast Controllers Association
After a few people finished their whack-a-mole mission, they went to Pingcheng. The staff at the front desk of the mission hall explained the warning from Baixi Village and asked what was going on.
"This..."
The staff at the front desk shook his head and said: "I. Not too clear 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? "
For this answer, Shi Yu and others seemed at a loss, which is equivalent to saying nothing...
Just when Chen Kai was about to continue asking something, suddenly, someone called from a distance. His name.
"Chen Kai, Zhuang Yue! ”
The sound came from a distance, causing Chen Kai and Zhuang Yue to tremble and turn around subconsciously.
Shi Yu and Yu Jingjing also looked over, and found an appearance coming in at the door. A loyal and honest beastmaster with glasses.
The other person is in his thirties, but his hair looks a little thin.
"Teacher Zhang." ..." Chen Kai and Zhuang Yue said.
"Why are you here? "
This person is a teacher from Chen Kai and Zhuang Yue's school.
"I'm nearby. I just saw your chat in the group, so I came over to take a look. No. I thought I'd just meet you. ”
On the way back just now, Chen Kai and Zhuang Yue shared the yellow warning about the beast tide with their classmates in the class group, but they did not 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 to himself.
Shouldn't the normal situation be that the students form a separate group to play without the teacher?
You are doing this, It’s hard for the group of friends 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 masters from other schools. ”
Teacher Zhang smiled and nodded: “You are probably wondering about the beast tide warning. "
"Yes, teacher, is the situation serious this time? ”
“The situation won’t happen again, right? "
Chen Kai knew that his teacher was a professional beast master and should know more about the inside story, so he immediately asked.
"It's too noisy here, let's go out and talk. "Teacher Zhang said.
A few of them didn't mean anything.Seeing him, he left the mission hall and started walking around the building complex surrounding the Beastmaster Association.
Although he didn’t know this teacher Zhang, Shi Yu also came over because he wanted to know what was going on.
If there is really danger... I have to prepare in advance and take Eleven Escape to the city.
Otherwise, houses around the city center are expensive. Self-built houses in the countryside or even in the suburbs are cheaper, but they are also close to wild areas, which is too dangerous!
In the stone path, Teacher Zhang looked at these young children and said, "You don't have to worry too much."
"There is a big difference between now and ten years ago. , The protective facilities around the snow-capped mountains are very good.”
“Even if there is a real danger, the Beast Masters Association can respond quickly. If the Pingcheng Association is not strong enough to defend, the beast masters in the city will be destroyed. The division will come over."
"If the beast control corps in the city cannot defend, the beast control corps in the surrounding cities will soon support it. The creatures in this snowy mountain are no longer enough to cause any damage to Icefield City. It's a threat."
Chen Kai asked: "So, teacher, you mean that the beast tide may appear again?"
"At present, it is only a small gathering of ferocious beasts, far less than ten. The sudden change that happened years ago was so huge..."
Zhuang Yue said: "The reason is, aren't those ferocious beasts all ice creatures? They should prefer the environment of snowy mountains to cities. Right."
"The book says that shortage of food and resources and excessive competition pressure are the main reasons for the emergence of the beast tide." Shi Yu looked towards the direction of the snow mountain. < /p>
Teacher Zhang looked at Shi Yu, nodded and said, "That's right."
"But we don't know exactly what the reason was. The beast wave ten years ago The trigger is still an unsolved mystery."
"But as for speculation, there is already an answer within Icefield City."
"You know what happened in Icefield City. History?"
A few people shook their heads.
“It’s not actually history. After all, it hasn’t been completely confirmed yet. It’s just speculation at the moment.”
“According to archaeological discoveries, there should have been no snow mountains around Icefield City 2000 years ago. Environment."
"This was the territory of a fairly developed beastmaster tribe in the ancient country, but later, an ice dragon flew from a distance and landed on the surrounding mountains."
p>“This ice dragon is so powerful that even if it just lives around, it indirectly triggers the advent of the Little Ice Age, making this tribe of beastmasters miserable.”
“Subsequently, This tribe of beast masters decided to expel 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.It's done. "
Shi Yu asked: "Which side won? ”
Teacher Zhang said: “The tribe of beast masters should have won.” "
"There is an ice dragon ruins on the snow mountain. It is said that the ice dragon's bones were sealed inside, sealed by the beast masters at that time. "
" Even now, dragon power can still be heard from time to time around the ruins, but 2000 years have passed, and even that ice dragon should be completely dead. "
"There is currently a speculation that the sealed ice dragon turned into a spirit body and affected the ferocious beasts in the snowy mountains. The power of the dragon caused the ferocious beasts to lose their minds and attack the city. Take revenge. ”
Shi Yu and others looked towards the snow-capped mountains again.
Ice dragon undead?
This is the first time they have heard of this.
Teacher Zhang pointed to a stone giant statue not far ahead and said, "Did you see that one? "
"That is one of the ancient artifacts excavated by archaeologists. It is said that the stone giant is the totem of that tribe. ”
While chatting, they have arrived at a huge park.
In the center of the park is a stone giant statue. The stone giant is an elemental extraordinary life and another kind of pet. The beast is placed here to add to the historical heritage of the Pingcheng Association and make this place appear to have a historical atmosphere.
“That tribe defeated the ice dragon with this thing called the Royal Envoy? "Chen Kai looked at the stone statue. He didn't pay attention to it before. He thought it was a decoration, but he didn't expect it to be an ancient artifact from Bingyuan City.
Shi Yu and others all focused on the stone giant statue. , Staring, Shi Yu's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
His brain was roaring, and his telepathy talent seemed to be passively activated.
"That's not the case. of..."
"It's not like that..."
This sudden voice made Shi Yu's whole body jump.
However, he looked around He went there, only to find that there was nothing unusual about 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 voice came from this. From the stone statue.
This stone statue has no signs of life at all. Can’t telepathy only hear the voices of living beings? If the stone statue was abnormal, it would not be placed here!
p>"It's not like that..." Shi Yu can still hear the sound.
