Using a Stratagem to Counter a Stratagem

Ye Bai had cleverly planted a virus in the email, one that could monitor whether Wang Jinyin had read it.

After all, the Beast Tide was still raging, and Ye Bai wasn't entirely sure Wang Jinyin would have time to check his email at a moment like this.

At that moment, Wang Jinyin, who had been resting with his eyes closed, heard a series of hurried footsteps.

His secretary ran over, gasping for breath.

"President, President!"

"That mysterious Y suddenly sent an email."

President Wang's eyes snapped open, and he asked urgently, "What did the email say?"

With a grim expression, the secretary handed the Notebook to President Wang.

[Y: This Beast Tide has already birthed a Fourth Order Berserk Blood Rat Emperor.]

[Y: The Third Order Berserk Blood Rat Kings have a Mental Strain Variant—they are small-bodied and excel at mental attacks.]

[Y: The Berserk Blood Rat Emperor is currently leading the Berserk Blood Rats in secretly digging beneath the Cold Storage Warehouse, planning to hollow out the soil below and cause the warehouse to collapse.]

[Y: If this is not stopped, Jiaying City will face a catastrophic Beast Tide.]

After reading the intelligence sent by Ye Bai, Wang Jinyin's face turned extremely grim.

"Summon the high-ranking members of the Pet Beast Guild. We need to hold a brief meeting immediately."

"Also, bring Teacher Zhang here. I want to hear her opinion."

Once everyone had gathered, Wang Jinyin projected the intelligence from Ye Bai onto the big screen.

"President, is this real or fake? If it's real, then things are looking very bad for us."

"Yeah, yeah. I never thought the Berserk Blood Rats would be smart enough to think of digging through the ground beneath the Cold Storage Warehouse."

"This is the terror of the Future Prediction Talent."

Zhang Lingxue narrowed her eyes imperceptibly. So this was the email written by that person with the Future Prediction Talent.

This guy was far too impressive.

If they could find him, the national fortune of the Yan Country Alliance would likely see a great boost.

They could use future prediction to foresee disasters, and also to screen talents for the Yan Country Alliance.

Everyone began discussing animatedly, and at that moment, Wang Jinyin clapped his hands.

A burly man walked in from outside the warehouse.

His name was Wang Shi, and his talent was a B-grade talent: Earth Control.

His talent allowed him to detect any anomalies in the ground beneath him.

As long as his feet touched the earth, he could continuously draw on the power of the land to strengthen himself.

Wang Shi placed his hands lightly on the ground, and ripples of earthy yellow spread outward.

His pupils turned the color of soil, and veins bulged near his temples as he probed the underground beneath the Cold Storage Warehouse for any secrets.

Beads of sweat as large as beans seeped from his forehead, dripped onto the ground, and quickly froze into ice.

He was channeling his mental energy into the earth, letting it spread deeper and deeper.

Suddenly, Wang Shi's body jolted violently, as if he had seen something unbelievable.

"President, I've confirmed it. The ground below has indeed been partially excavated."

"A large number of Berserk Blood Rats are transporting the soil."

"There's also a massive Blood Red rat underground, as big as a calf, watching menacingly."

"And surrounding that big rat are dozens of small-bodied Berserk Blood Rats."

"They're like guards, encircling the big rat completely."

"That should be the Mental Strain Variant of the Berserk Blood Rat King mentioned in the email."

Wang Jinyin wore an expression that said, "Just as I thought."

"Wang An, can you use your Point Ground to Steel talent to increase the overall weight of the Cold Storage Warehouse?"

"And make it indestructible, so that even if it falls from above, it won't suffer a single scratch."

"Since the Berserk Blood Rats have already started their secret maneuver."

"We might as well play along and give these Berserk Blood Rats a surprise gift package!"

Wang An was a slender man who pushed up the glasses on his nose.

"President, your request is no problem."

"My talent can increase the weight of the Cold Storage Warehouse by more than ten times."

"And my Point Ground to Steel talent can turn the entire warehouse as solid as iron."

"However, I'll need a large amount of Energy Potion to activate my talent."

Every time a Pet Beast Master activated their talent, they consumed a certain amount of energy, leaving them very fatigued.

The Energy Potion could replenish the mental power consumed by activating a talent.

Increasing the weight of such a massive cold storage warehouse tenfold was no small task.

Wang Jinyin nodded.

"Wang Shi, with your Earth Control talent and your Earth Tyrant Bear, can you trigger a great earthquake on the ground beneath the cold storage warehouse?"

Wang Shi nodded. Causing great earthquakes was his specialty.

"Good. Then here's our plan."

"Wang An will use Point to Ground to Become Steel to increase the warehouse's weight, and then Wang Shi will trigger a great earthquake."

"While that's happening, we'll bury the Berserk Blood Rats deep underground!"

"This battle is the key to whether we can completely overcome the Beast Tide."

"I'll take care of the Berserk Blood Rat Emperor. The mutated Berserk Blood Rat Kings are your responsibility."

"According to Y's foresight, these mutated Berserk Blood Rat Kings possess a very special mental power attack. Everyone must be extremely careful."

President Wang warned.

Seeing President Wang finish reading the email, Ye Bai let out a sigh of relief.

In truth, the best way to deal with the cold storage warehouse was to directly transfer the thousands of tons of frozen goods elsewhere.

But Pet Beast Masters with space talents were few and far between.

Moving that much frozen stock all at once was extremely difficult.

Just then, Zhang Lingxue hurried over: "Ye Bai, something's wrong."

"The Berserk Blood Rats have dug a huge cavity underground."

"Soon we'll be fighting the Berserk Blood Rats to the death."

"Little Purple will take you away from here."

Zhang Lingxue said firmly. She didn't want her student to be in danger.

Seeing Zhang Lingxue's resolute expression, Ye Bai nodded almost instinctively.

"I understand, teacher. I'll find a safe place to hide."

Ye Bai recalled Da Hui into his Beast Card, but left the Sunflower King out.

The Sunflower King was the natural nemesis of the Berserk Blood Rats. Moreover, after devouring the flesh and blood essence of the Berserk Blood Rats, it could automatically split into Second Order doppelgangers.

Ye Bai didn't want to miss this opportunity, and he also wanted to contribute something to Jiaying City.

"I'm off, teacher. Take care."

Ye Bai sat on Little Purple's back, holding the Thousand Changes Silkworm in his arms, and waved at Zhang Lingxue.

But halfway there, Ye Bai had Little Purple set him down.

Little Purple's huge Compound Eyes stared fixedly at Ye Bai, as if it didn't understand what he meant.

"Little Purple, your most important task right now is to go back and help your Pet Beast Master."

"You're teacher's strongest combat power. I have hands and feet—I'll find a safe place to hide on my own."

"Besides, the Beast Tide isn't breaking out here, so you don't need to worry about my safety."

Little Purple was confused by Ye Bai's words.

Still, it was indeed worried about Zhang Lingxue's current situation, so it nodded, gave a "be careful" expression, and flapped its wings away.

"Da Hui, Thousand Changes Silkworm, let's go back."

"How could we pass up an opportunity like the Beast Tide to grow stronger?"

"Besides, for the Thousand Changes Silkworm to evolve into the Myriad Changes Silkworm, the Essence of Blood from the Berserk Blood Rat Emperor and the mental core of the mutated Berserk Blood Rat King are crucial evolution materials."

"If we don't collect them now, it'll be hard to find them later."

Ye Bai spoke as he strode quickly toward the location of the cold storage warehouse.
