Chapter 41: Strong Reinforcements

"Dispatch a portion of the manpower to guard the Lengdong Cangku."

"No, forget it, I had better lead the team myself."

Wang Jinyin suddenly changed his mind.

Right now, the Secret Realm area needs manpower, and the Lengku area also needs manpower; it was becoming a bit stretched.

"I was just wondering why my brow kept twitching, feeling like I had neglected something; I had completely forgotten that a large-scale cold storage for frozen meat was built in the outskirts of Jiaying City."

"However, how did the Burrowing Rats evade our priority screening and escape onto that smuggled cargo ship?"

Wang Jinyin felt a sharp pain in his brain; at this moment, he felt his mind was not enough to cope.

"I think I have guessed the reason."

The secretary pushed up her black-rimmed glasses.

"I investigated the shipping records of the smuggled cargo ship; the cargo ship once passed through the waters where the Secret Realm rift is located."

"It must have been at that time that a portion of the escaped Burrowing Rats climbed onto the cargo ship."

"Although Burrowing Rats are earth-attribute Exotic Beasts, they can swim."

"Our drones use a thermal sensing system; those Burrowing Rats hid inside the refrigerated containers, naturally evading the drones' detection."

"In an environment with abundant food, the reproductive capacity of Burrowing Rats will increase several times over."

The secretary answered the chairman's doubt.

"Most of the manpower has been sent out; now I am just afraid of any sudden emergencies."

Wang Jinyin let out a long sigh; he felt that in these past few days, he had sighed more than he had in his entire life.

A Beast Tide, that is a Beast Tide.

Anyone who has experienced a Beast Tide knows that a Beast Tide is extremely terrifying.

Ten years ago, when a Tier 4 Beast Tide broke out in Jiaying City, the then-Chairman of the Jiaying City Pet Beast Association, in order to stop the Beast Tide, had his main Pet Beast, the Explosive Rock, Self-Destruct, sacrificing himself to hold back the Beast Tide.

"Little Wang, why are you sighing? I could hear you sighing from far away."

A resonant voice rang out from outside the door; upon hearing this voice, Wang Jinyin's face immediately lit up with joy.

Help had arrived.

Principal Zhang pushed the door open and entered: "What is the situation now? I heard something happened again."

"Even Shenshan Middle School was attacked by a batch of Burrowing Rats, but they have already been killed by all of us."

Zhang Dashan detested Beast Tides; his main Pet Beasts all died in the process of resisting Beast Tides.

Heartbroken and severely injured, Zhang Dashan subsequently gave up the position of Chairman of the Yan Dong Pet Beast Association and came to Shenshan Middle School to cultivate talent for the Yan Kingdom Alliance.

"The Secret Realm rift has already been brought under control, but the escaped Burrowing Rats climbed onto a cargo ship of smuggled frozen goods and began to breed rampantly."

"Tier 1 Burrowing Rats, after receiving the nourishment of large amounts of flesh and blood, will directly advance into Tier 2 Blood-Burst Rats."

"What we are worried about now is whether this will trigger another Beast Tide."

Wang Jinyin hurriedly stood up to explain.

"No matter, the risk of Tier 2 Blood-Burst Rats is still controllable."

"We must now focus on screening places like the Tuzai Chang to ensure the safety of the citizens."

"We must completely suppress this Beast Tide."

"I and some teachers from Shenshan Middle School will all help out."

With Principal Zhang's assistance, Wang Jinyin's pressure was reduced significantly.

He personally led a team to the large-scale cold storage, hoping to annihilate this group of Burrowing Rats completely.

Just shortly after Wang Jinyin Depart, at the stone lion statue at the entrance of the association—this was a stone lion with bared fangs and brandished claws, carved from a single piece of massive marble.

At this moment, the shadow of the stone lion suddenly stretched and elongated, and a person in a black robe crawled out from the shadow.

"Finally left; my plan is proceeding quite smoothly."

"Although they discovered the Secret Realm rift early on, the result is still proceeding according to my plan."

"I hope the thing I want is in the secret vault of the Pet Beast Association."

"Otherwise, I would have really worked in vain; the legendary Seven-Orifice Exquisite Jade, the Seven-Orifice Exquisite Jade that can replicate talents."

"If it falls into my hands, my status in the organization will surely be elevated."

The black-robed person muttered to himself.

After Wang Jinyin left, the black-robed person felt that there was no one left in the Pet Beast Association who could stop him.

He could come and go as he pleased in the Pet Beast Association.

The black-robed person's body then turned into countless black shadows and dissipated on the ground.

At this time, Ye Bai had already arrived at the side of the Central Park in Jiaying City.

The Burrowing Rats that appeared along the way were all easily dealt with by the Thousand-Change Silkworm.

Steel-Hardening + Rolling Attack made the Thousand-Change Silkworm into a high-speed road roller.

Everywhere it passed, there were Burrowing Rats crushed into meat patties.

The Thousand-Change Silkworm's level was also rising rapidly, and it soon reached the peak of Tier 1.

However, at this time, no matter how much energy it absorbed, it was very difficult to break through the Tier 1 bottleneck and enter Tier 2.

Because when a Pet Beast advances from Tier 1 to Tier 2, a crystal core will condense in the sea of consciousness, which is the location of the brain.

This process is quite dangerous; one either needs heaven-sent treasures to help the Pet Beast break through Tier 1, or one uses various Awakening Potions.

Due to the Thousand-Change Silkworm's special evolutionary path, Ye Bai was terrified that the Thousand-Change Silkworm would eat the wrong thing and evolve directly into a Huidu E, and he would be devastated.

(The Thousand-Change Silkworm is a variant of the Baibian Can; its genes are more complex, and there is also a certain probability of evolving into a Huidu E.)

Now Ye Bai was just waiting for the Shenhuang Group to publicly conduct clinical tests, and with this opportunity, let the Thousand-Change Silkworm break through to Tier 2 with 100% certainty.

Just at this moment, a sound of breaking through the air came from above: "Ye Bai? Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to go to school to take shelter?"

Zhang Lingxue sat on the back of a giant purple moth and flew down from high in the sky.

This moth was enormous in size, with patterns of two giant eyes on its wings; every time it flapped its wings, countless purple powders would descend from the sky.

Its giant antennae were like sharp sickles, and its huge purple compound eyes were staring fixedly at Ye Bai.

"Teacher, this is a Huidu E!!!"

Ye Bai curiously sized up this giant Pet Beast; he could feel a terrifying pressure like a vast Abyss emanating from this Pet Beast.

Dahui's pupils turned azure blue, and azure electric arcs began to emerge from its body.

"Xiao Zi, retract the pressure on your body for now; this is my personal disciple, Ye Bai."

"Ye Bai, this is Xiao Zi, its species is Huidu E, it is my first Pet Beast; because of a failed experiment, it evolved into a Huidu E."

"However, it is different from ordinary Huidu E; under my careful training, its strength is very, very strong."

Ye Bai immediately understood; this was Zhang Lingxue's Tier 5 Pet Beast. At this moment, Ye Bai noticed the purple color on the Huidu E and fell into deep thought.

The Information System had once hinted that some Huidu E have the ability to evolve, and their characteristic is that their wings have purple on them.

Zhang Lingxue seemed to have a very good relationship with the Huidu E; the Huidu E danced gracefully in mid-air, and the purple scales fell from the sky like snowflakes.
