Chapter 26: : Beast Tide
After a few people took a break, they didn't actually rest too long. They were infected by the eleven, and they decided to continue to catch the groundhog for practice.
For the sake of their future, they can only wronged the groundhog.
However, before they had time to leave, the village committee loudspeaker of Baixi Village suddenly sounded.
The sound of this broadcast was huge, and Shi Woo and others who were far from the center of the village could also hear it clearly.
At this time, when they heard the broadcast content, Shi Yu and the others changed their expressions.
"Attention all villagers, all villagers please note: the city issues yellow warning signals for animal tides, and the city issues yellow warning signals for animal tides."
"Outside the city walls, there are already a certain scale of fierce beasts gathering inward, and there is a trend of upgrading in scale."
"All departments and individuals are requested to make corresponding preparations in accordance with the defense guidelines..."
"Fuck!"
Surrounded by the voice, Chen Kai couldn't help but vent his emotions, Zhuang Yue and Yu Jingjing also obviously had a dazed and nervous look on their faces.
Beast tide?
Several people are familiar with the term animal tide.
Ten years ago, Pingcheng District was rebuilt because of an encounter with an animal wave.
Although everyone was still young at that time, it was impossible to be unclear about this kind of thing.
Beast tide is coming again? ? ?
"Oh no."
When the four were in a daze, the uncle farmer who was patrolling the farmland came to their side.
"Children, today is a special situation, otherwise you should go back first."
"Uncle, what happened to the broadcast just now?" Shi Woo asked.
"I don't know, but it should be the animals on the snow mountain that are restless again."
"The yellow warning sounds very serious. If the situation escalates, maybe we have to evacuate here."
Uncle can't figure it out, but seeing his expression, he doesn't panic.
At this time, Shi Yu also reacted, and it was indeed not time to panic.
What is different from ten years ago is that high walls have been built between Pingcheng District and the dozens of towns and snow-capped mountains below.
Inside and outside the city walls are stationed the Royal Beast Corps of the Beast Master Association. They are the first line of defense against the tide of beasts.
The so-called early warning is only a reminder to the residents of the surrounding villages and towns, but it does not mean that there is a real danger.
If there is a real danger of breaking the city, it will not be as simple as a yellow disaster warning.
"Should we go over and take a look?" Chen Kai suggested.
Icefield City is located on the edge of the national border. The subordinate Pingcheng and the towns around Pingcheng are next to the snow-capped mountains full of fierce beasts.
This is why only Pingcheng and the surrounding counties were the first to bear the brunt of the animal tide ten years ago.
"What to look at, at this time, the inside and outside of the city wall must have been cordoned off. Didn't you go to make trouble?" Zhuang Yue said.
"Let's go back first." Shi Yu said.
Although I don't think anything will happen, the atmosphere is tense at this time, so don't make trouble for others by leisurely hitting gophers here.
Hamsters can come at any time. After going back to the Beastmasters Association, it is more important to ask about this beast tide warning.
The other three nodded their heads, and they didn't fight the hamsters very strongly. After they had cleaned up, they quickly returned to Pingcheng.
Icefield City, Pingcheng District, Royal Beastmaster Association.
After a few people finished the mole-killing mission, they explained the warning of Baixi Village to the front desk staff of the mission hall and asked what was going on.
"this...."
The front desk staff shook his head and said, "I don't know too much."
"But it seems that this is not the first time this month. The previous two were blue warnings. Is it yellow this time?"
To this answer, Shi Yu and others seemed at a loss, which is equivalent to saying nothing...
Chen Kai just wanted to ask something more, when suddenly, someone in the distance called his name.
"Chen Kai, Zhuang Yue!"
The voice came from a distance, causing Chen Kai and Zhuang Yue to turn their heads subconsciously.
Shiyu and Yu Jingjing also looked over, and found that a loyal and honest looking beastmaster with glasses came in at the door.
The other party is also in his thirties, but his hair looks a little sparse. He should be a strong one.
"Mr. Zhang..." Chen Kai and Zhuang Yue said.
"Why are you here."
This person is the teacher of Chen Kai and Zhuang Yue school.
"I was nearby. I just saw you chatting in the group, so I came over and took a look. I didn't expect to meet you."
On the return trip just now, Chen Kai and Zhuang Yue shared the yellow warning of animal tide with their classmates in the class group, but they did not expect it to be seen by the diving teacher.
"So you guys are chatting in a class with a teacher?" Shi Yu looked at the strange group of students and said in his heart.
Normally, shouldn’t it be that students don’t bring teachers, and should they set up a group to play alone?
If you do it like this, it's hard for group friends to drive.
"What are these two?" The person called Teacher Zhang looked at Shi Yu and Yu Jingjing.
Chen Kai said, "They are my friends, the beast masters of other schools."
Teacher Zhang smiled and nodded: "You guys are warning about strange beasts."
"Yes, teacher, is it serious this time?"
"It won't happen again like the situation before, right?"
Chen Kai knew that his teacher was a professional beastmaster and should know more inside stories, so he immediately asked.
"The sound here is too noisy, let's go out and talk." Teacher Zhang said.
Several people didn't have any comments, and they left the mission hall and started walking around the building complex around the Beastmaster Association.
Although he didn't know this teacher Zhang, Shi Woo, who wanted to know what happened, also followed.
If it is really dangerous...you have to prepare in advance and take the eleventh escape route to the city.
Otherwise, the houses around the city center are expensive. Self-built houses in the countryside or even the suburbs are cheap, but they are also close to the wild, which is too dangerous!
In the stone trail, Teacher Zhang looked at these young children and said, "Don't worry too much."
"It is very different now from ten years ago. The protective facilities around the snow-capped mountains are doing very well."
"Even if there is a real danger, the Beast Masters Association can react quickly. If the Pingcheng Association is not strong enough to defend, the Beast Masters in the city will come over."
"If the Beast Corps in the city cannot be defended, the Beast Corps in the surrounding cities will quickly support it. The creatures in this snowy mountain are not enough to pose a threat to Icefield City."
Chen Kai asked: "So teacher, what do you mean is that the beast tide is likely to appear again?"
"At present, it is only a small gathering of fierce beasts. It is far less powerful than the sudden change ten years ago..."
Zhuang Yue said: "The reason is, aren't those fierce beasts all ice creatures? Compared to cities, you should prefer the environment of snow-capped mountains."
"The book says that shortages of food and resources, and excessive competitive pressure are the main reasons for the emergence of animal tides." Shi Yu looked towards the snow-capped mountains.
"But this shouldn't be the main cause of the snow mountain beast tide... After all, the beast tide of this reason is usually very frequent and has symptoms, and will not happen suddenly like ten years ago."
Teacher Zhang looked at Shi Yu, nodded and said, "That's right."
"However, we don't know what exactly is the reason. The fuse of the animal tide ten years ago is still an unsolved mystery."
"But if you want to guess, there is already an answer inside Icefield City."
"Do you know the history of Icefield City?"
Several people shook their heads.
"In fact, it is not considered history. After all, it has not been fully confirmed. It is only speculation at present."
"According to archaeological discoveries, there should be no snow-capped mountains around Bingyuan City 2000 years ago."
"This was the territory of a fairly developed Beastmaster tribe in the ancient country at that time, but later, an ice dragon flew from a distance and landed on the surrounding mountains."
"This ice dragon is powerful. Even if it only lives around, it indirectly spurs the advent of the Little Ice Age and makes this beastmaster tribe miserable."
"Afterwards, this Beastmaster tribe decided to expel the ice dragon. They formed a crusade department and launched a protracted battle with the ice dragon in the mountains."
"It is said that this snow mountain was formed at that time."
Shiyu asked: "Which side won?"
Teacher Zhang said: "It should be the tribe of beast masters who won."
"There is a remains of an ice dragon on the snow-capped mountain. It is said that the bones of that ice dragon were sealed in it by the beast masters at the time."
"Even now, there are still dragons around the ruins from time to time, but the year 2000 has passed, and even the ice dragon should be completely dead."
"There is currently a speculation that the sealed ice dragon turned into a spirit body and affected those fierce beasts in the snow-capped mountains Longwei caused the fierce beasts to lose their minds and retaliate against the city. ."
Shiyu and others looked at the direction of the snow-capped mountains again.
Ice Dragon Necromancer?
This is the first time they have heard of this.
Teacher Zhang pointed to a giant stone statue not far ahead, and said, "I see that."
"That is one of the antiquities excavated by archaeologists. It is said that the stone giant is the totem of that tribe."
chatting, they have reached a huge park.
In the center of the park, there is a statue of a stone giant. The stone giant is an elemental supernatural being, and another kind of pet beast. It is placed here to increase the historical heritage of the Pingcheng Association and make it look more historical.
"That tribe was the one who defeated the ice dragon by the imperial ambassador?" Chen Kai looked at the stone statue. He hadn't paid attention to this thing before. He thought it was an ornament, but he didn't expect it to be an antiquities in Bingyuan City.
Shiyu's eyes all set on the giant stone statue, staring at him, Shiyu's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
His brain roared violently, his telepathy talent seemed to be passively active, and he heard some strange sound.
"not like this...."
"not like this...."
This sudden voice made Shi Yu's whole body excited.
However, when he looked around, he found that Teacher Zhang, Chen Kai and others were normal.
Suppressing the shock in his heart, Shi Yu looked back at the stone statue again. His face turned pale. Don't tell him that the sound came from the stone statue. Is it because he wants to turn into light.
This stone statue has no signs of life at all. Isn’t telepathy only able to hear the voice of living bodies? If the stone statue is abnormal, it will not be placed here!
"It's not like this..." Shi Woo can still hear the voice.
