Alliance Era, July 177.

The recent unusual behavior of fierce beasts in Snow Mountain has put the various Beast Tamer Associations in Icefield City on high alert.

Especially the professional Beast Tamers of the Peaceful City Beast Tamer Association, who have already entered a state of preparedness.

The beast tide ten years ago had already severely damaged Peaceful City's vitality. It took a huge amount of manpower and resources from all parties in Icefield City to rebuild Peaceful City. This time, no matter what, they cannot allow the fierce beasts to enter the city walls again and cause further destruction.

In this state, Beast Tamers are naturally very sensitive to movements outside.

Rumble!

It was during this critical period that a huge sonic boom echoed over Peaceful City, and the string that had been taut in the hearts of some Beast Tamers snapped with a "crack".

"Damn, is it a beast tide attacking the city?"

"How come there's no news at all?"

"Let's think positively, maybe it's just an earthquake."

"What on earth happened?"

The sound was so loud that not only the Beast Tamers, but even ordinary people could hear it clearly.

Everyone subconsciously walked out of their homes and looked outside.

However, it was just a huge sonic boom, and then there were no other abnormalities.

Peaceful City Beast Tamer Association headquarters, rooftop.

A middle-aged man in a gray suit stood here, looking up at the sky that had shattered like a mirror, lost in thought.

"President, what was that just now?"

"The associations in other districts and counties, and even within the city, have also sensed the anomaly."

The door to the top floor opened, and a tall secretary walked in anxiously. The impact of that noise on Icefield City was unexpectedly great!

Even in other regions, slight changes had been felt.

The president in the gray suit said, "I've only heard about this kind of situation, and I'm not sure if it's what I'm guessing..."

"If it is, it might not be a bad thing."

...

The entire Icefield City experienced tremors to varying degrees, and even the changes here gradually spread out of Icefield City to other places.

At this time, the protagonist who caused this incident had nervously returned home, put on an apron, and started preparing dinner.

"Shi Yi, eat more."

"Grow up quickly. This world is too weird. You need to become stronger to protect us."

"Ooh—" The little Iron-Eating Beast blankly accepted a pile of bamboo shoots.

Although it didn't know what was happening, Shi Yu was uncharacteristically generous today.

Yay!

At home, Shi Yu naturally didn't know the situation outside, but listening to the discussions of passersby on the road, he felt that things were not that simple.

The commotion was a bit too big.

Ah, Shi Yu, you have such a big mouth!

Why did you have to chat with a stone?

Now there's a problem.

Before figuring out what was going on, Shi Yu decided to stay at home honestly.

Except for buying groceries and medicine, he wouldn't go anywhere.

"Chirp—"

As Shi Yu made up his mind, a sound came from the persimmon tree next door.

The Cyan Silkworm in the birdcage saw that Shi Yu had given the Iron-Eating Beast so much delicious food today and immediately made a hungry request.

"You eat more too."

"Eat until you're fat, so you can spit out more silk."

Next, Shi Yu also prepared a pile of leftover vegetable leaves for the Cyan Silkworm, and the Cyan Silkworm happily ate them.

Much easier to take care of than Shi Yi.

"Well, I've finished preparing their meals too, let's go to sleep... I'm so tired today."

Shi Yu hadn't recovered from the aftereffects of teaching Extrasensory Vision yesterday, and now there was this incident, which made him feel drained.

He decided to sleep first and see if tomorrow would be another day full of hope.

Once he recovered, he would teach Shi Yi skills and quickly strengthen its combat power!

[Name]: Iron-Eating Beast

[Attribute]: Metal

[Race Level]: Mid-level Transcendent

[Growth Level]: Awakening Level Five

[Skills]: Hardening (Proficient), High-Speed Healing (Entry), Extrasensory Vision (Entry)

Shi Yu was quite satisfied with Shi Yi's current stats. Of the six skills he had collected, Intimidation and Absolute Sleep had not yet been taught.

These are both high-level skills, and the consumption must be greater. Shi Yu planned to wait a while before teaching them...

Next, he should focus on strengthening the proficiency of the skills he had already mastered.

...

The next day, Shi Yu rested and recuperated.

In order to make use of all resources, he released the Cyan Silkworm from the birdcage and assigned it a task while it was still confused.

"Today, you're responsible for sparring with Shi Yi."

"You can get extra food if you spar well."

Shi Yu divided the yard into two areas, with the Cyan Silkworm occupying one side and Shi Yi occupying the other.

After leveling up the Cyan Silkworm's silk to the proficient level, the silk can actually be used in many ways.

For example, Silk Thread Ray.

This technique involves the Cyan Silkworm condensing silk about the length of a finger in front of it, and then shooting it out like an arrow, like a hidden weapon.

Although with the current power, it can't even penetrate the clothes Shi Yu bought from the street stall, the speed is still good.

Under the Cyan Silkworm's shooting, the silk thread can travel from one end to the other in a "swoosh".

Moreover, the Cyan Silkworm, which has mastered proficient-level silk thread, can continuously use rays, making the rays like a dense rain of arrows.

Shi Yu's arrangement was clearly to use the silk thread to allow Shi Yi to continue to practice the use of Extrasensory Vision.

Whether it's dodging small, inconspicuous high-speed rays, or accurately judging the landing point of the rays and hardening a small area in advance, it's a good training method.

Most importantly... the commotion is small!

Shi Yu knew that the Cyan Silkworm's intelligence was not high, so he tried to communicate with it through telepathy as much as possible, and gave various examples.

Cyan Silkworm: @.@

In the end, Shi Yu didn't know if it understood, but Shi Yi did.

"Aww—"

Shi Yi obviously thought it was a good training method.

It directly grabbed the Cyan Silkworm and made it train with it.

How can you sleep in a birdcage every day?

The meaning of life lies in training, come on!

"Chirp—"

The Cyan Silkworm let out an innocent cry.

Next, Shi Yu smiled and went out to buy groceries. During this process, he inquired about yesterday's situation.

Although it's still unknown what happened, it's said that the Peaceful City Beast Tamer Association has currently suspended many businesses and is heavily blocked off.

Things like whack-a-mole missions can't be done now.

Shi Yu was a little panicked. The stone statue in that park broke, so it must have been noticed...

Won't they find me in the end?

There weren't many people at the time, and this world doesn't have surveillance cameras, so it shouldn't...

However, Shi Yu couldn't guarantee it, after all, this is a world with transcendent power.

Before knowing what happened, he wouldn't dare to turn himself in. He could only continue to pretend that he didn't know anything.

On this day, the presidents of the Beast Tamer Associations in various districts and counties of Icefield City came to Peaceful City.

Peaceful City, a certain valley.

Nine Master-level Beast Tamers of varying ages looked at the spatial portal formed by the cracks spreading down from the sky, their expressions showing a hint of amazement.

"It really is a Secret Realm space."

"It can also be said to be an ancient relic space." Besides these nine people, there was a tenth person present.

The youngest of the nine Master-level Beast Tamers was over thirty years old. Unlike them, the tenth person present was very young.

This was a woman in her early twenties with short brown hair.

She was wearing a white shirt, a black skirt, and a knee-length white research coat. Her expression was cold, and her eyes under her glasses were particularly serious and focused.

"Dr. Lu, what do you think?" Several people opened their mouths respectfully.

Lu Qingyi said, "I once tried to decipher that Ice Dragon Relic, but I failed. The information I lack is still too little to restore the truth of Icefield's history."

"The appearance of this relic now may provide more information."

"By the way, were there any other abnormalities in Peaceful City when the relic descended yesterday?"

The president of the Peaceful City Beast Tamer Association said, "An ancient stone statue in our association's park collapsed."

"The Stone Giant Statue?"

"Yes."

Lu Qingyi's expression didn't change, but she had a judgment in her heart. In that case, this relic space didn't descend by accident, but someone had touched the traces of history.

Has another special telepathic talent holder who can "listen to the voice of history" appeared?

Who is it...
