Shi Yu was certain he heard a voice.

And the feeling was just like when he used telepathy.

Searching, he pinpointed the source of the sound; it was definitely the stone statue...

However, no matter how he looked at it, the stone statue didn't seem like an extraordinary life form.

It was just an ordinary stone statue made by ancient people in the likeness of a stone giant.

Could it have become a spirit?

Impossible. If it had evolved into an extraordinary life form, it would have been noticed by other Beast Tamers long ago.

The foot traffic here wasn't small.

In a place like the Beast Tamer Association, high-level Beast Tamers were everywhere, and there were plenty of Beast Tamers with telepathic abilities.

A wild extraordinary creature couldn't hide, and this stone statue had been here for at least a few years.

After the sound disappeared, Shi Yu continued to observe.

He observed for a while, but still found nothing. It was just an ordinary stone statue, made of very ordinary stone.

Logically speaking, telepathy couldn't communicate with such inanimate objects. This was a widely known fact, unless telepathy had unknown uses that he didn't know about.

"Let's end it here. I have things to do later, so I'll leave first."

"You don't need to think too much. You don't need to worry about things like beast tides. Even if the legendary Ice Dragon were to revive, our Beast Tamers can fight it."

Teacher Zhang said to them with a smile.

In ancient times, dragons were unattainable creatures, but in modern times, dragon tamers had long become a profession. Although rare, they weren't so distant anymore.

"Okay, thank you, Teacher Zhang," Chen Kai said.

Shi Yu also thanked him. Then, after the others said goodbye, Teacher Zhang left, leaving Shi Yu and the other three staring at each other.

"Shall we go back to playing whack-a-mole?" Chen Kai asked.

"Let's not. Maybe later," Shi Yu said. "I suddenly remembered I have something to do..."

"Are you in a hurry? You can have a meal before you go..."

"Very urgent!"

Chen Kai and the others originally wanted to invite Shi Yu for dinner before leaving, but Shi Yu left in a hurry, so the four of them dispersed.

In the end, Chen Kai and the others didn't even get Shi Yu's contact information...

There was no way. Shi Yu hadn't bought a phone. That thing was ten times more expensive than on Earth, and he couldn't afford it for the time being.

If they wanted to find Shi Yu, they could only leave a message at the Beast Tamer Association...

The difference between the two worlds was that on Earth, it was very difficult to buy pandas, tigers, and elephants, but it was easy to buy common technological products.

Here, a Metal-Eating Beast cost less than a full-priced apartment in the city, but technological products were much more expensive.

After the group separated, Shi Yu went straight to Pingcheng's library to look up some information.

Unfortunately, he couldn't find the information he wanted, even until evening.

However, although he didn't find what he was looking for, Shi Yu gained a better understanding of this world.

The history of this world could be roughly divided into three eras.

The Mythological Era, the Totem Era, and the Beast Taming Era.

The Mythological Era was said to be the era when the earliest mythological creatures born from heaven and earth ruled the planet.

The Totem Era was the era when humans were born and struggled to survive under the territories of powerful creatures in various ways.

The Beast Taming Era was the era when humans began to master the ability to tame beasts.

This Beast Taming Era could be further divided into ancient and modern times.

The turning point was 100 years ago, when seven human-led countries jointly established an alliance.

Simple three-era division, but due to some special reasons, there were many gaps in the history of this world.

For example, why the first batch of mythological creatures collectively disappeared was a historical gap that happened at an unknown time.

And the events that Bingyuan City experienced 2,000 years ago were obviously history that people hadn't yet explored clearly.

"Don't be curious, don't be curious, don't be curious!!"

After leaving the library, Shi Yu kept repeating to himself.

"Don't be curious, don't be curious, don't be curious!!"

He forced himself not to think about these things.

His old habits were acting up again.

In his previous life, Shi Yu was an archaeologist. Later, due to some special reasons, he came into contact with an unknown mythological system, and driven by curiosity, he switched to becoming a mythology scholar.

Then, going to various ruins and ancient sites to explore this unknown mythological system with his teacher became his daily routine.

And then, he died.

During exploration, he encountered an accident, a landslide, and was buried alive, and then he transmigrated here.

"Curiosity killed the cat."

Shi Yu remembered himself in those days, obsessed with researching the history of the unknown mythological system, and wanted to slap himself.

Wasn't it good to stay home playing games and watching anime? Why did he have to go to various dangerous places to investigate and research?

In short, now that he had transmigrated to this even more dangerous world, Shi Yu only wanted to live a more comfortable life within a safe range.

He had to enjoy this life properly.

Although the history of this world seemed to have even more mysteries and a more authentic mythological system, he, Shi Yu, would never follow the old path of his previous life.

Absolutely not—

……

Pingcheng Beast Tamer Association, Park, under the stone giant statue.

It was already getting dark, and there were basically no other people in the park.

Shi Yu looked at the statue in the moonlight and asked, "Were you the one talking during the day?"

"Were you refuting the history that person was talking about?"

It's not like that...

No matter how you looked at it, it seemed like it was refuting what Teacher Zhang said, but this rebuttal was only heard by Shi Yu.

"Stone statue brother, say something."

Shi Yu communicated with the stone statue using telepathy.

However, unlike during the day, the stone statue didn't react at all.

"If you don't talk, I'm leaving."

The stone statue remained unmoved.

Shi Yu fell silent. Was something wrong with his own state?

He recalled his mood when he looked at the stone statue in the afternoon.

At that time, he had just finished listening to Teacher Zhang's description of history and had become curious about that history.

Because Teacher Zhang said that the history was just speculation and hadn't been verified, Shi Yu looked at the stone statue and subconsciously wanted to know what the real history was.

It seemed that was when he heard the stone statue's voice.

"Tell me."

Shi Yu stared at the stone statue, subconsciously recalling his past of visiting various ruins, studying ancient artifacts, and exploring the truth of history.

"Tell me, I can restore the truth to history."

At this moment, Shi Yu's thoughts were clear. He really wanted to make the truth of this history known to the public.

At this moment, he didn't want to listen to the voice of the stone statue, but to listen to the voice of history.

He believed that his current state was extremely similar to that afternoon.

He activated his telepathy again, looking for the feeling from the afternoon.

It seemed like... his brain was buzzing??

Boom!!!!

The sound came, a "boom" that directly numbed Shi Yu's scalp.

However, this sound was obviously not ringing in his brain or mind, but exploding in his ears.

He looked up, his mouth wide open, because the sky seemed to have suddenly vibrated.

Crack!

Then, Shi Yu was attracted back to the stone statue.

This time, the stone statue did make a sound, but it was the sound of cracking.

Under his gaze, the stone statue directly cracked from top to bottom...

"I'm screwed." Shi Yu turned and left. He swore that he would be a dog if he ever touched his old profession again.

This industry was too dangerous, even more dangerous than being a Beast Tamer.

"Eleven, save me."
