It took about an hour before the four arrived at Baixi Village.

After getting off the bus near the village committee, they were quickly greeted by the staff.

Although the four were not professional Beast Tamers, Baixi Village warmly welcomed anyone who could come to clear the mole rats.

Due to the urgency, the four didn't exchange many pleasantries. After arriving at their destination, they went straight to the areas plagued by mole rats, which were the farmland and woodland.

They were briefly speechless as they faced the boundless farmland and woodland.

Where should they even begin?

Actually, some of the less intelligent and weaker mole rats had already been killed by farmers using pesticides, and captured by dogs and cats they kept.

So, the ones they were clearing were those with higher growth levels and were relatively cunning.

These mole rats were elusive, good at hiding, and strong in combat, making them difficult to eliminate.

"Let's summon our pets first," Shi Yu suggested.

To lock onto the mole rats in this complex environment, nothing beat Eleven's super vision.

"Alright."

As Shi Yu spoke, the four of them communicated with their Beast Spaces and summoned their pets.

A panda appeared in front of Shi Yu and Zhuang Yue, Chen Kai summoned his Ice-Armored Beast, and the other girl, Yu Jingjing, summoned a snake-like Thorn Vine.

As soon as the pets were summoned, Eleven attracted Zhuang Yue's attention.

Yesterday she only watched from a distance, and hadn't noticed anything. But today, looking at it up close, she realized that Shi Yu's panda was developing perfectly. Whether it was the color of its fur or its physique, it looked very healthy.

"Master, did you get your panda from the Iron Bamboo Breeding Base as well?"

"Yeah," Shi Yu nodded.

All the pandas in Icefield City should be bred by the Iron Bamboo Breeding Base… including Zhuang Yue's.

However, Zhuang Yue's panda was noticeably larger than Shi Yu's, and older. The two pandas probably weren't from the same batch of cubs.

Since they weren't from the same batch, the two pandas didn't seem to recognize each other. Eleven glanced at the other panda and quickly looked away.

Chen Kai's Ice-Armored Beast, however, looked at Eleven with trepidation the whole time, its body almost melting.

"Wait, wait a minute."

"Master, you're not an apprentice from the Bamboo Stone Martial Arts Hall, are you?" Zhuang Yue suddenly thought of something.

Shi Yu was so strong, this seemed to be the only explanation.

"No…"

Shi Yu shook his head.

The Bamboo Stone Martial Arts Hall and the Iron Bamboo Breeding Base were the same organization.

The owner of the Martial Arts Hall and the owner of the Breeding Base were the same person.

The Iron Bamboo Breeding Base was a panda breeding base, while the Bamboo Stone Martial Arts Hall was a place dedicated to training Beast Tamers who had contracted with pandas.

The current master of the Bamboo Stone Martial Arts Hall was a master-level Beast Tamer who specialized in breeding pandas.

Besides mastering the Hardening skill, his pandas also mastered the power of lightning and fire, and he had very special breeding methods.

It could be said that in Icefield City, if you asked who knew the most about breeding pandas, Beast Tamers would definitely say the Beast Tamers from the Bamboo Stone Martial Arts Hall.

It was normal for Zhuang Yue to suspect that Shi Yu was an apprentice from the Bamboo Stone Martial Arts Hall. Even if Shi Yu said he was a personal disciple of the Bamboo Stone Martial Arts Hall, she would probably believe it.

However, although Shi Yu had no connection with the Bamboo Stone Martial Arts Hall now, he would go to learn from them sooner or later… well, learn from each other.

"You're not? I thought you were definitely a personal disciple of the Bamboo Stone Martial Arts Hall…" Zhuang Yue laughed.

"Among the Beast Tamers in our Pingcheng City, the most powerful is Master Lin, right?" Chen Kai said.

Apprentice, Professional, Master. The Professional level was further divided into Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. The Master Lin from the Bamboo Stone Martial Arts Hall that Chen Kai mentioned was a Master-level Beast Tamer.

His strength was even ranked among the top in Icefield City.

"I don't know if Master Lin is the most powerful, but her daughter seems to be the youngest Professional Beast Tamer in our Pingcheng City?" Yu Jingjing said.

"She seemed to have passed the Professional assessment at the age of 18. Later, I heard she went to study at one of the Nine Great Universities. She should have graduated by now… I wonder what level she has reached."

"Your information is outdated. That Lin Xiuzhu later chose the Breeding major. She has already returned to Pingcheng City. She even helped me choose this panda," Zhuang Yue said. "Sister Xiuzhu said that she studied this major because she wanted to study whether pandas could evolve again. I don't know if she succeeded…"

"But I think it's still too difficult… Master Lin has been breeding pandas her whole life and hasn't found a way for pandas to evolve again. I guess pandas can only be like this."

"Besides, even if she found it, it wouldn't have anything to do with us…"

The panda in front of Zhuang Yue yawned, extremely zen and indifferent to the world.

"Stop chatting… I found a mole rat," Shi Yu said.

While the others were chatting, Eleven, using its super vision, had already locked onto a mole rat.

It didn't care at all about whether it could evolve or not. It was fine as it was now.

After being reminded by Eleven, Shi Yu followed its gaze.

In a corner of the farmland, a giant rat about thirty centimeters long, hairless, and with a body made of earth and stone, was secretly picking red fruits.

"It's over there."

Shi Yu pointed over, and the other three looked over as well.

"Judging from its size, its level is probably around four. And it's alone, so it's not very threatening. The hard part is how to eliminate it before it reacts and escapes by burrowing!" Chen Kai said.

"The books say that mole rats are very vigilant. Compared to sounds and light, they are more sensitive to temperature. The Iron-Eating Beast and the Ice-Armored Beast might alert it due to their body temperature," Yu Jingjing said. "I'll have the Thorn Vine disguise itself as a plant to approach it and see if it can directly entangle it."

"But I don't know if the Thorn Vine's thorns can affect its earthen shell body. You guys follow up then."

The other three agreed to this strategy. Under Yu Jingjing's command, her Thorn Vine began to disguise itself as a plant, slowly crawling on the ground.

The Thorn Vine was indeed too much like a plant. After all, it was a plant lifeform itself. The mole rat didn't notice it at all. In the mole rat's eyes, this kind of plant was just food.

The most skilled hunter often appears in the form of prey…

At the same time, Eleven and the Ice-Armored Beast also began to prepare for the hunt.

Only Zhuang Yue's panda was still there, looking blank… It stared with its eyes under dark circles, trying hard to see, where, where is the mole rat, why can't it see it!

This was normal for ordinary pandas. After all, the mole rat's camouflage was too good.

Soon, the Thorn Vine arrived near the mole rat. It extended thorns covered with barbs, targeting the mole rat!

Whoosh!!!

The Thorn Vine launched a fatal entanglement. However, mole rats that could grow to level four in this environment were not pushovers. At the critical moment, the mole rat sensed the danger, and was frightened into dropping the red fruit and running—

Swish!

It turned around and ran, very fast, successfully dodging the attack.

Normally, mole rats would dig holes in advance when they came out to forage, to use as escape routes, and wouldn't burrow into the ground on the spot.

Burrowing into the ground on the spot wasn't actually very fast, and it was easy to get caught. It was better to use an emergency route.

After failing with its first strike, the Thorn Vine stopped sneaking around and grew more thorns all over its body, flying towards the mole rat to restrict its movement and speed.

At the same time, Eleven and the Ice-Armored Beast had already burst out with all their strength.

"Run, can you run away?"

Chen Kai shouted. The Ice-Armored Beast was also good at digging holes. Given time, it could pierce through an iceberg.

Even if the mole rat successfully burrowed into the ground, it wasn't impossible to catch it.

Of course, the best case scenario was to kill it before it reached the hole.

However… the Ice-Armored Beast was still a step too slow.

The mole rat successfully reached the hole.

Just as the mole rat was overjoyed and about to drill into it, Eleven, who was much faster than the Ice-Armored Beast, arrived.

In the previous battle, Eleven had instantly killed the Ice-Armored Beast without moving from its spot, but that didn't mean that its burst speed was inferior to the Ice-Armored Beast…

Boom!

Eleven started running and quickly surpassed the Ice-Armored Beast, then caught up with the mole rat. It jumped up, and its hardened palm directly hit the hole that the mole rat was about to drill into.

Like a giant piece of steel falling from the sky, a huge impact was accompanied by dust and mist, and a large pit was directly smashed into the ground by Eleven.

With super vision, combined with explosive power, it felt that it was much more agile than yesterday. Having discovered the location of the hole a step ahead of the Thorn Vine and the Ice-Armored Beast, Eleven revealed a proud expression.

And the mole rat was stunned in place, where was its home?

Afterwards, it was quickly entangled by the Thorn Vine.

But now everyone's attention was on the big pit next to Eleven.

What kind of power was this… it was like something falling from high altitude. The other three felt their scalps tingle as they looked at the chubby panda cub. They felt that with it, they could directly go and cause trouble for groups of mole rats?
