Beast Tide Invasion

"The person who sent that email was cautious, using multiple IPs as jump points."

"We can't trace their real IP. I—I'll report this up the chain."

"What matters now is how to minimize the impact of the Beast Tide."

Wang Jinyin said, his face full of gravity.

"I suggest we search the locations where the Beast Tide appears and contain it the moment it emerges."

"At the same time, activate Level One Red Alert. Notify citizens through major media outlets and neighborhood committees to stay indoors for now."

"Additionally, the entire Pet Beast Guild must be mobilized. Once any anomaly is detected, we deal with it immediately to keep losses to a minimum."

Immediately, a high-ranking guild member put forward three proposals.

"I want to add one point: once the Beast Tide appears, immediately request reinforcements from the Provincial Level Guild. We must minimize losses in Jiaying City."

Wang Jinyin made the final decision.

Everyone in the Jiaying City Pet Beast Guild sprang into action, forming pairs and beginning their search toward the northwest corner of the city.

On the third day, in the early hours, at the northwest corner of Jiaying City.

This was a vacant large warehouse in Jiaying City—empty inside, walls covered in mildew, the air thick with dust.

A Black Robed Man flickered into the warehouse, holding a compass-like object in his hand.

He wore a Smiling Mask.

The compass in his hand was alive, with two large eyes—one black, one white—and writhing roots dangling from its base.

The compass's needle pointed to one side of the warehouse.

"Finally found it—the hidden large-scale Secret Realm in Jiaying City."

Two beams of red light shot out from the compass's huge eyes, converging in midair at a single point, landing on an empty stretch of space in the warehouse.

A series of cracking sounds followed, and the previously calm space split into spiderweb-like fissures.

The Black Robed Man swung the compass and lightly smashed it against the crack.

A chain of breaking noises rang out, and a rift large enough for two people to pass through appeared in space.

Countless green lights poured out of the rift, accompanied by squeaking sounds.

Strange Beasts the size of basketballs crawled out one after another.

They looked somewhat like rats, but larger, with long whiskers and tails coiled like spirals.

Their claws were like sharp little drills.

"Haha, this Secret Realm is full of Burrowing Rats."

"Excellent. Burrowing Rats, stir up chaos. The thing I want should be in the Jiaying City Pet Beast Guild's secret vault."

"But I need to add a little spice to you first, or you won't be willing to become pawns in my hand."

The Black Robed Man pulled a black potion bottle from his Pet Beast Space and tossed it into the rift.

The bottle shattered, releasing a thick Black Mist that spread outward.

All the Burrowing Rats that inhaled the Black Mist instantly had bloodshot eyes, their pupils wide, their claws growing even sharper.

These Burrowing Rats lunged toward the Black Robed Man, trying to tear him to shreds.

But just as they were about to touch him, the Black Robed Man dissolved into countless wisps of Black Smoke, dispersing into the air.

"Little rats, go Berserk to your heart's content. Do your utmost to turn all of Jiaying City upside down."

The Black Robed Man's voice rang out harshly as he completely dissipated into Black Smoke.

The Burrowing Rats' eyes gleamed with malice. Baring their fang-filled teeth, they began madly gnawing at the surrounding buildings.

The sound of grinding wood echoed from the warehouse.

Just then, the Pet Beast Guild personnel arrived. They stared in shock as a tidal wave of Burrowing Rats spread outward.

The Beast Tide had appeared!

Ye Bai had just woken up when he saw the emergency news pushed to his phone.

A massive number of Burrowing Rats had appeared at the vacant warehouse in the northwest corner of Jiaying City.

Investigation revealed that these Burrowing Rats came from a large Secret Realm, and expert studies indicated they seemed infected with an unknown virus.

They had become extremely aggressive, attacking living creatures in a frenzy. Many innocent passersby had already been caught up and gnawed down to white bones.

Reports stated that many Burrowing Rats had already scattered across Jiaying City. Residents were advised not to go out for now.

If they noticed any activity, they should immediately call for help, and Pet Beast Guild personnel would arrive promptly.

Ye Bai turned on the TV. The Host's face was grim: "We now interrupt this broadcast with an urgent message."

"A Spatial Rift has appeared in our city, from which a large number of Burrowing Rats have emerged."

"These Burrowing Rats are highly aggressive. Jiaying City has now entered Level One Red Alert status."

"All work and classes are suspended. Please do not move about freely. Pet Beast Guild personnel will patrol every street."

"Citizens, if you notice any unusual activity, please call the Pet Beast Guild immediately."

"Currently, Sacred Mountain Middle School and several other schools have opened emergency shelters. If needed, you can go there for refuge."

At this moment, Homeroom Teacher Zhang Lingxue also @everyone in the group: Students, an emergency notice has been received—school is suspended today.

The school's shelter is open around the clock. If necessary, you can come to the school shelter to ride out this disaster.

Ye Bai soon received a private message from Zhang Lingxue.

"Ye Bai, the area you're in isn't very safe. It'd be better if you came to school—it's safer here."

Under normal circumstances, Ye Bai might have actually gone to school.

But now, with the Sunflower King and Da Hui, whose strength had recovered, Ye Bai really wasn't afraid of these First Order pet beasts.

In Ye Bai's eyes, these burrowing rats were nothing more than moving experience packs.

Maybe he could even take this opportunity to promote all his Second Order sunflowers to Sunflower Kings.

"Da Hui, our chance to uphold justice has arrived."

The Sunflower King crept stealthily onto Da Hui's head, and a blooming sunflower now adorned the top of Da Hui's skull.

Ye Bai grabbed enough Flower Nectar and charged toward the road.

The streets were deserted, with most shop doors tightly shut.

A rustling sound came from the street. Ye Bai looked up and saw several burrowing rats gnawing at a trash can.

A trash can made of pure iron was like a chew toy in front of the burrowing rats.

A crunching sound echoed through the street.

"Come out, Thousand Changes Silkworm."

Ye Bai released the Thousand Changes Silkworm from his Pet Beast Space—this was its first battle.

The Thousand Changes Silkworm burst out with a yawn. Sensing the presence of strangers, the burrowing rats, their eyes glowing red, all raised their heads.

Their drill-like Sharp Claws gleamed with a biting chill under the sunlight, and their red eyes flashed with a fierce, ruthless glare.

Haha, I take advice, so Chapter 35 is the new content added today. I really am a bit embarrassed~
