"The person who sent the email was very cautious, using multiple IPs as springboards. We can't trace his real IP. I-I'll report this matter."
"The most important thing now is how to minimize the impact of the Beast Tide."
Wang Jinyin said with a grave expression.
"I suggest we search for where the Beast Tide will appear and bring it under control the moment it emerges. At the same time, activate First-Level Red Alert and notify citizens through major media outlets and neighborhood offices to stay indoors for the time being."
"Additionally, everyone in the Pet Beast Guild must be mobilized. The moment any abnormality is discovered, we must deal with it immediately and keep the losses to a minimum." A guild executive immediately put forward three suggestions.
"I'd like to add one more thing. The moment a Beast Tide appears, immediately request aid from the provincial guild. We must reduce Jiaying City's losses to the absolute minimum."
Wang Jinyin finally made the decision.
Everyone in the Jiaying City Pet Beast Guild immediately sprang into action. Working in groups of two, they began searching the northwestern corner of Jiaying City.
In the early hours of the third day, at the northwestern corner of Jiaying City.
This was a large abandoned warehouse in Jiaying City. It was completely empty inside, its walls covered in mold, while dust hung thick in the air.
A Black Robed Man flashed into the warehouse, holding something resembling a compass in his hand.
The Black Robed Man wore a Smiling Mask.
The compass in his hand was actually alive. It had two huge eyes, one black and one white, while wriggling roots dangled beneath it.
The compass needle pointed toward one side of the warehouse.
"Finally found it—the large Secret Realm hidden in Jiaying City."
Two red beams shot out from the compass's enormous eyes. They converged at a point in midair before landing upon an empty stretch of space in the warehouse.
With several cracking sounds, spiderweb-like fissures appeared in the previously tranquil space.
The Black Robed Man swung the compass and lightly smashed it against the cracks.
A string of shattering sounds rang out, and a rift large enough for two people to pass through appeared in space.
Countless green lights emerged from the rift, accompanied by squeaking noises.
Strange Beasts the size of basketballs crawled out of the rift one after another.
They somewhat resembled rats, but were larger, with long whiskers and tails curled together like spirals.
Their claws were like sharp little drill bits.
"Haha, this Secret Realm is full of Burrowing rats."
"Excellent. Burrowing rats, go cause chaos. The thing I want should be in the secret vault of the Jiaying City Pet Beast Guild."
"But I'll have to add a little something first, or you won't be willing to become chess pieces in my hand."
The Black Robed Man took out a bottle of black potion from his Pet Beast Space and threw it into the rift.
The potion shattered at once, forming a great amount of Black Mist that spread outward.
Every Burrowing rat that inhaled the Black Mist instantly had its eyes turn scarlet. Their eyes bulged wide, and their claws became even sharper.
The Burrowing rats lunged toward the Black Robed Man, wanting to tear him to pieces.
Yet just as the Burrowing rats were about to touch the black robe, the Black Robed Man directly transformed into countless wisps of black smoke and dispersed through the air.
"Little rats, Berserk to your hearts' content. Give it everything you have and turn all of Jiaying City upside down."
The Black Robed Man said sharply as he completely transformed into black smoke and vanished.
A savage gleam appeared in the Burrowing rats' eyes. They bared mouths full of fangs and began crazily gnawing at the surrounding buildings.
The sound of wood being ground echoed through the warehouse.
Just then, members of the Pet Beast Guild arrived. They stared in shock as the Burrowing rats spread outward like a tsunami.
The Beast Tide had appeared!
Ye Bai had just gotten up when he saw the emergency news notification on his phone.
A large number of Burrowing rats had appeared in an abandoned warehouse in the northwestern corner of Jiaying City.
After investigation, these Burrowing rats were found to have come from a large Secret Realm. Furthermore, expert research indicated that the Burrowing rats seemed to have been infected with an unknown Virus.
They had become extremely aggressive, crazily attacking any moving creature. Quite a few innocent passersby had already been swept up in it, gnawed until nothing remained but white bones.
It was reported that many Burrowing rats had already scattered throughout Jiaying City. Residents were advised not to leave their homes for the time being.
If any disturbance was discovered, immediately call the police for help. Members of the Pet Beast Guild would arrive at once.
Ye Bai turned on the television. The host wore a grave expression. "We are now interrupting with an emergency announcement."
"A Spatial Rift has appeared in our city, and a large number of Burrowing rats have poured out from it."
"These Burrowing rats are extremely aggressive. Jiaying City has now entered First-Level Red Alert."
"Work and classes throughout the city have been suspended. Please do not move about freely. Members of the Pet Beast Guild will patrol every street."
"If citizens discover any abnormal activity, please immediately call the Pet Beast Guild for help."
"Emergency shelters have now opened at Sacred Mountain Middle School and many other schools. Those in need may go there for refuge."
At that moment, Homeroom Teacher Zhang Lingxue also @mentioned everyone in the group chat: Students, we have received an emergency notice. Classes are suspended today.
The school shelter will remain open throughout the day. If needed, you may go to the school shelter to hide from this disaster.
Ye Bai soon received a private message from Zhang Lingxue.
"Ye Bai, the place you're at isn't very safe. You should come to the school. It'll be safer here."
Under normal circumstances, Ye Bai might really have gone to the school.
But now, with the Sunflower King and Da Hui, whose strength had recovered, Ye Bai truly had no fear of these Pet Beasts that were only First Order.
In Ye Bai's eyes, these Burrowing rats were nothing more than moving experience packs.
Perhaps he could even take this opportunity to evolve the Second Order Sunflower into a Sunflower King.
"Da Hui, our chance to uphold justice and eliminate evil has arrived."
The Sunflower King carefully climbed onto Da Hui's head, and a blooming sunflower appeared atop Da Hui's head.
Ye Bai brought enough Flower Nectar and rushed toward the road.
The road was deserted, and the doors of many shops were tightly shut.
Rustling sounds came from the street. Ye Bai looked up and saw several Burrowing rats gnawing around a trash can.
The trash can, made of pure iron, was like a chew toy before the Burrowing rats.
Cracking sounds echoed through the street.
"Come out, Thousand Changes Silkworm."
Ye Bai released the Thousand Changes Silkworm from his Pet Beast Space. This was the Thousand Changes Silkworm's first battle.
The Thousand Changes Silkworm rushed out with a yawn. Upon sensing the presence of a stranger, the Burrowing rats, their eyes glowing red, all raised their heads.
Their drill-like Sharp Claws gleamed with an icy chill beneath the sunlight, while ferocity flashed in their red eyes.
