Light Spring Murmur

Chapter 56: Entering the Relic

Bingyuan City, outside the Pingcheng District, a valley.

Heavy blockades had been set up here, with Beast Taming legions stationed and over a dozen professional Beast Tamers sitting guard, all to protect the entrance to the relic that had appeared within the valley.

Outside the silent valley, soldiers stood guard like towering, unmoving mountain rocks, until the sound of approaching vehicles drew their attention.

Upon recognizing the vehicles as belonging to the Beast Tamer Association, an officer gave the command:

"Open the way!"

Instantly, the sealed area opened a passage, and the vehicles carrying Shi Yu and the others smoothly entered the valley.

"We're here."

After a bumpy ride, the group that had departed from the Beast Tamer Association finally arrived at their destination. On the car, Shi Yu looked out the window, feeling a sense of unfamiliarity.

He had never been to this place before, but judging from the surrounding environment, it seemed completely natural, unlike Tianmang Mountain, which had signs of artificial modification.

Such places... were often more dangerous.

"I'm starting to look forward to it," said Qiao Liang, a young doctor beside Shi Yu, with a surge of excitement.

"Relics, I never thought I'd have the chance to come into contact with one."

"I was originally planning to be a pharmacist for the rest of my life, but it seems there's still a chance for a change of luck..."

"If I still don't gain anything this time, I won't bother struggling to become a professional Beast Tamer. I'll just settle down with my girlfriend back home after we get engaged,"

Qiao Liang glanced at his girlfriend's photo in his wallet and asked Shi Yu, "You definitely don't have a girlfriend yet, right?"

Well, with such a weak constitution, which girl would like him?

Shi Yu glanced at him and said, "Do you know what you're doing?"

"In my hometown, what you're doing is called stacking buffs."

Generally, it's hard to come back alive safely.

He didn't expect this doctor to be even better than him at setting flags!

"Uh."

The doctor clearly realized he had set a few too many flags and couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Well... the Association has already confirmed that the relic isn't too dangerous, so it should be fine, right? He thought.

"But speaking of which, the format of this relic puts those soldiers at a disadvantage..."

He quickly changed the subject, "The Beast Taming legions are strong in teamwork, but this relic can only be explored independently, greatly weakening their abilities. No wonder they can't conquer it."

The young doctor looked at the trainee-level soldiers of the Beast Taming legions standing guard and resting in the outside camp, and said, "Although they have good personal qualities in all aspects, they may not have as much advantage as us in terms of pet cultivation."

These days, most of the Beast Tamers who go to the Beast Taming legions are from families that aren't doing so well.

They contract pets issued by the Association, receive uniform training, and use a fixed amount of resources. They may be very good in terms of teamwork, combat, will, and execution, but after all, the resources that the Association can provide to the basic levels of the legions are limited. Compared with some Beast Tamers who are willing to spend a lot of money on their pets, they will definitely be lacking in some aspects.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some Beast Tamers are both rich and have undergone hard training in the barracks. Such big shots would indeed be very strong.

However, such people would go to the special elite training camp in the city, and it is unlikely that they would stay in a small Pingcheng.

If the trainee Beast Tamers of the Beast Taming legions could easily conquer the relic, the Pingcheng Beast Tamer Association would not have placed its hopes on these trainee Beast Tamers selected from various fields.

"Perhaps..." Shi Yu had just spoken when he was interrupted.

"Alright, we've reached our destination, let's get out of the car."

The car drove all the way to the outside of the central area of the blockade line. As the president in the car got up and spoke, the trainee Beast Tamers in the car became restless.

In order, the Beast Tamers in the car began to get out.

Earlier in the car, President Feng introduced the environment of the valley to everyone, as well as the experience summarized by the soldiers of the Beast Taming legions who entered the relic.

So when getting out of the car, everyone had some psychological preparation.

"It's so cold..."

Even so, the environment in the center of the valley made many trainee Beast Tamers shiver.

It was as if there was no sunlight here, and it was full of cold mist. The people who got out of the car only felt a haze in front of them.

In this environment, it seemed that only a withered sun could be seen from the horizon.

The surrounding mountains, trees, and plants were covered with a thin layer of frost. This was still under the premise that the surrounding camp had heating facilities, otherwise, it was estimated that the surroundings would be even colder.

According to President Feng, the elemental creatures in the relic were mainly ice-type creatures. Currently, the relic space and the Blue Planet space were in a semi-overlapping state, so the internal situation affected the outside world.

Not only the temperature was affected... Everyone looked at the six huge stone giant statues, several meters high, within the heavy encirclement, and the thing similar to a diagram array in their center, and fell into contemplation.

This was the thing that materialized after the relic initially overlapped with the Blue Planet space.

The six stone giant statues guarding the diagram array in the middle were the space portal leading to the inside of the relic.

As for the six stone giant statues, they seemed to be the guardians of the relic, but they were obviously like dead objects.

"This..."

As soon as Shi Yu saw the stone giant statues around the arena, he felt a little panicked.

After all, these stone giant statues were a bit similar to the one in the Association Park... The previous one was cracked by him, wouldn't these be its relatives or something?

Currently, looking at the six stone giant statues, everyone could clearly see that the first two stone statues were shining with light, while the other four were dim.

President Feng of the Pingcheng Association stepped forward and said, "According to our speculation, these six stone statues may represent the progress of cracking the relic."

"Our Beast Tamers of the Beast Taming legions caused a reaction from the stone statues when they passed the first two trials in the relic."

"So we speculate that this relic has a total of six levels, and as you can see, our progress is now stuck at the third level."

Although President Feng had already told everyone these things in the car, everyone couldn't help but feel doubts in their hearts when they saw the six stone statues at this time.

If the trainee Beast Tamers of the Beast Taming legions can only pass two levels... how many more levels can they conquer?

Because they had heard the intelligence about the levels in the car, most people didn't even have the confidence to pass the third level at this time.

Not to mention the last three levels where they didn't know any intelligence at all.

President Feng smiled and said to everyone, "You don't need to have too much pressure."

"Every time you pass a level, the relic will give feedback on a certain reward. This is a good opportunity to improve yourself."

"Moreover, you don't only have this one chance to enter. You can enter at any time in the next month and carry out repetitive challenges."

"The nearby camp is equipped with a medical room, a rest area, and complete facilities. The follow-up work will be prepared by the Pingcheng Beast Tamer Association. Your task is to challenge the levels as much as possible and work hard to become stronger!"

"Tell me, do you have confidence!!!" President Feng's squinted eyes suddenly widened and he shouted loudly.

This change directly startled many trainee Beast Tamers a little, causing some people to subconsciously respond loudly: "Yes!!!"

"Very good!" President Feng said, "You can prepare a little, and after you are ready, you can apply to enter the relic."

"Remember the precautions I said in the car, and everything should be based on your own safety!"

After he finished speaking, the newly arrived trainee Beast Tamers nodded one after another.

Nearby, the soldiers guarding inside and outside the encirclement remained silent and expressionless.

Although they didn't speak, they doubted very much whether this group of trainee Beast Tamers with uneven strength and quality could really do better than them???

……

In the crowd, Shi Yu listened quietly, continued to recuperate his spirit, and kept his eyes moving on the several stone statues.

Occasionally, he concentrated his mind and wanted to try to hear any historical voices again, but it seemed that there was nothing.

After observing for a long time, he finally gave up this behavior and planned to enter the relic to see what was going on.

Alas... he thought he could wake up the giant of light all at once and let the six giants recognize him as their master, but he was thinking too much.

"I don't know about the last three levels, but perhaps I can do something about the third level that no one has been able to conquer."

After analyzing clearly in his heart, Shi Yu relaxed and went to register, deciding to enter the relic immediately.

Not only him, but almost all of the newly arrived Beast Tamers decided to explore the relic immediately.

Once they passed the relic trial, they would be rewarded and gain honor representing their strength. Everyone was eager to try such a good thing.

"I feel that this guy will definitely get good results, and maybe he will even have a chance to pass the third level."

In the crowd, Chen Kai looked for Shi Yu's figure in the pile of classmates and thought to himself.

"This monster will definitely be able to pass the third level." Jiang Rui and others from the Zhushi Martial Arts Hall also looked at Shi Yu's figure with their eyes.

It is said that the third trial of the relic is an Ice Armor Giant with a growth level of Awakening Level 10 and a race level of Low-level Commander.

The Ice Armor Giant is an elemental transcendent creature with considerable strength, and several of its race skills have reached the proficient level.

Although this strength is not very strong for the new generation of geniuses in big cities, it is indeed a bit of pressure for the trainee Beast Tamers in small places like Pingcheng.

"Enter."

Before long, someone had completed the registration and walked to the glowing diagram array on the stage. Then, with a blur of figures, this person disappeared from the spot.

Shi Yu didn't waste too much time. He completed the registration and walked onto the stage, in the diagram array in the middle of the six stone giant statues.

After he stepped onto the stage, several more eyes looked at him, including President Feng of the Pingcheng Association.

"This person is the first in the Tianmang Mountain experience, and the Iron-eating Beast has a proficient level of Hardening?"

"That guy Lin Hongnian asked me to pay attention to him, saying he would give me a certain surprise. I want to see what kind of surprise it will be."

As Shi Yu's figure disappeared on the stage, President Feng looked towards the snowy mountain direction. This year is really an eventful autumn.

First, there was the beast tide, and then there was the relic. I don't know if there is any connection between the two...

This time, in addition to the 80 new explorers, the trainee Beast Tamer soldiers of the Beast Taming legions who had entered before would also enter again.

The Beast Tamer Association selected a group of people from them and cultivated them again, and everyone's strength was temporarily improved.

In order to explore this relic, the Pingcheng Beast Tamer Association has decided to make a significant investment.

At the same time.

Stepping onto the stage, Shi Yu, who was shrouded in light and decided to "enter the relic" in his mind, only felt a trance in his brain.

[Complete the six trials to obtain ownership of the relic and the key to history.]

Under the mental trance, Shi Yu didn't know whether he heard a new voice or not. In the next second, he seemed to have experienced the shifting of stars and the transformation of space, and stepped into another space.

Shi Yu opened his eyes and found himself on a vast, white glacier, not very large in area, surrounded by space crystal walls.

Before he could react, countless ice elements gathered in the distance, forming a giant-like creature.

[Name]: Frost Stone Giant

[Attribute]: Ice

[Race Level]: High Transcendent

[Race Skills]: Ice Hammer, Cold Breath

[Introduction]: A variant of the Stone Giant, an ice-stone elemental creature. The frozen arm hammer is extremely powerful, and the cold breath it spews can easily freeze everything.

The first environment of the relic is an ice field space, with only Shi Yu alone. Inside, there is a Frost Stone Giant with a growth level of Level 8...

This is the first trial of the relic.

"Eleven."

Beside Shi Yu, the little Iron-eating Beast walked out of the Beast Taming space with an excited expression, looking at the enemy.

Panda King's Roar: "Roar!!!"
