Beast Taming, my intelligence updates daily.

Chapter 41 Strong Support
"Let's transfer some people to guard the cold storage warehouse."

"No, forget it, I'll lead the team myself."

Wang Jinyin suddenly changed his mind.

We need manpower for the secret realm and the cold storage area, and we're a bit stretched thin.

"I was wondering why my brow was twitching. I felt like I'd overlooked something. I'd forgotten that a large cold storage facility specifically for frozen meat had been built in the outskirts of Jiaying City."

"However, how did the burrowing rat manage to evade our key investigations and escape onto that smuggling cargo ship?"

Wang Jinyin felt a sharp pain in his brain; at that moment, he felt like his brain wasn't working properly.

"I think I have a pretty good idea of ​​why."

The secretary adjusted her black-rimmed glasses.

“I investigated the smuggling ship’s navigation records, and the ship had passed through the waters where the Secret Realm Rift is located.”

"It must have been around that time that some of the escaped mole rats climbed onto the cargo ship."

"Although the burrowing rat is an earth-elemental mythical beast, it can swim."

"Our drones use a temperature-sensing detection system. Those burrowing rats hid inside the refrigerated containers, naturally avoiding 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 questions.

"Most of our manpower has been sent out, and now I'm worried about unforeseen circumstances."

Wang Jinyin let out a long sigh, feeling as if he had sighed out all the sighs he had never given in his entire life in the past few days.

A beast tide! It's a beast tide!

Anyone who has experienced a beast tide knows how terrifying it is.

Ten years ago, a fourth-tier beast tide broke out in Jiaying City. At that time, the president of the Jiaying City Pet Beast Guild sacrificed himself by detonating his main pet, Explosive Rock, to stop the beast tide.

"Xiao Wang, why are you sighing? I can hear you sighing from far away."

A loud voice rang out from outside the door, and upon hearing it, Wang Jinyin's face lit up with joy.

Help is coming.

Principal Zhang pushed open the door and entered: "What's the situation now? I heard there's been another incident."

"Even Shenshan Middle School was attacked by a group of burrowing rats, which we have all killed."

Zhang Dashan loathed the beast tide, and all his main pet beasts died while resisting it.

Heartbroken and severely injured, Zhang Dashan relinquished his position as president of the Yan Dong Pet Beast Guild and went to Shenshan Middle School to cultivate talent for the Yan Kingdom Alliance.

"The rift in the secret realm has been brought under control, but the escaped burrowing rats have climbed onto a cargo ship smuggling frozen goods and are multiplying rapidly."

"A first-tier burrowing rat, after receiving a large amount of flesh and blood, will directly advance to a second-tier bloodthirsty rat."

"Our current concern is whether this will trigger another beast tide."

Wang Jinyin quickly stood up and explained.

"It's alright, the risks of a second-tier Bloodrage Rat can still be controlled."

"We are now focusing our investigations on places such as slaughterhouses to ensure the safety of citizens."

"We must completely suppress this beast tide."

"I and some teachers from Shenshan Middle School will lend a helping hand."

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

He personally led a team to the large cold storage facility, hoping to wipe out the entire group of burrowing rats. Shortly after Wang Jinyin left, the stone lion statue at the union entrance—a menacing lion carved from a massive block of marble—was visible.

At that moment, the shadow of the stone lion suddenly stretched and lengthened, and a man in black robes emerged from the shadow.

"They're finally gone. My plan is going quite smoothly."

"Although they discovered the rift in the secret realm early on, things still went according to my plan."

"I hope what I need is in the Pet Beast Guild's secret vault."

"Otherwise, I would have really wasted my time. The legendary Seven Aperture Exquisite Jade, the Seven Aperture Exquisite Jade that can replicate talent."

"If it falls into my hands, my position in the organization will definitely be elevated."

The man in black robes said to himself.

After Wang Jinyin left, the man in black felt that there was no one in the Pet Beast Guild who could stop him.

He can come and go freely in the Pet Guild.

The black-robed man's body then transformed into countless black shadows and vanished on the ground.

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

The burrowing rats that appeared along the way were easily dealt with by the Thousand-Transformation Silkworm.

The combination of hardening and rolling attacks transforms the Thousand-Change Silkworm into a high-speed road roller.

Wherever it went, it crushed ground squirrels into meat patties.

The level of the Thousand Transformations Silkworm was also rapidly increasing, and it soon reached the peak of the first tier.

However, at this point, no matter how much energy it absorbs, it will be difficult to break through the bottleneck of the first stage and enter the second stage.

When a pet advances from Tier 1 to Tier 2, a crystal core will condense in its sea of ​​consciousness, which is the location of its brain.

This process is extremely dangerous; it either requires rare and precious materials to help the pet break through to the next level, or it requires the use of various awakening potions.

Because of the Thousand Transformation Silkworm's unique evolutionary path, Ye Bai was terrified that it might eat the wrong thing and evolve directly into a Gray Poison Moth, which would make him devastated.

(The Thousand-Change Silkworm is a variant of the Hundred-Change Silkworm; its genes are more complex, and it has a certain probability of evolving into the Grey Poison Moth.)
Now Ye Bai is just waiting for the Divine Phoenix Group to conduct public clinical trials, hoping to use this opportunity to ensure that the Thousand Transformation Silkworm breaks through to the second stage.

Just then, a whooshing sound came from above: "Ye Bai? What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you to go to the school to avoid danger?"

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

This moth is enormous, with two huge eye patterns on its wings. Every time it flaps its wings, countless purple powders fall from the sky.

Its enormous tentacles resembled sharp scythes, and its huge purple compound eyes were fixed intently on Ye Bai.

"Teacher, that's a gray tussock moth!!!"

Ye Bai curiously examined the enormous beast, sensing a terrifying pressure emanating from it, as if it were a vast, deep abyss.

Big Grey's pupils turned a deep blue, and pale blue arcs of electricity began to emerge from its body.

"Little Zi, first suppress your aura. This is my personal disciple, Ye Bai."

"Ye Bai, this is Xiao Zi. Her species is Gray Poison Moth. She was my first pet. She evolved into a Gray Poison Moth because of a failed experiment."

"However, it is different from ordinary gray tussock moths. Under my careful training, it is very, very strong."

Ye Bai immediately understood that this was Zhang Lingxue's fifth-tier pet. At this moment, Ye Bai noticed the purple color on the gray poison moth and fell into deep thought.

Intelligence has previously indicated that some tussock moths possess evolutionary capabilities, characterized by purple wings.

Zhang Lingxue seemed to have a very good relationship with the gray poison moth. The gray poison moth danced in mid-air, and its purple scales fell from the sky like snowflakes.
