After a yellow beast tide warning reached White Creek Village, Shi Yu and his friends returned to Ping City and learned that the gathering of beasts was small and the city's defenses were strong. Teacher Zhang told them an unconfirmed legend about an ancient ice dragon and a tribe that fought it, but Shi Yu then heard a voice from the Stone Giant statue insisting, “That’s not how it was.”

• A loudspeaker announced a yellow beast tide warning, so Shi Yu and his friends stopped their Earth-Burrowing Rat training and returned to Ping City.

After Shi Yu’s interaction with a stone statue caused a spatial disturbance, Icefield City’s Beast Tamer Associations investigated a newly appeared secret realm while Shi Yu tried to avoid drawing attention. Dr. Lu Qingyi suspected someone had awakened a rare Telepathy talent connected to history, but the person responsible remained unknown.

• A tremendous crack of air shook Pingcheng District, and the president of the Ping City Beast Tamer Association suspected an ancient ruin had appeared.

• Lu Qingyi offered Shi Yu an Iron-Eating Beast skill manual, an evolution method, and a high-species pet beast cub, and Shi Yu asked to receive all three.

• Lu Qingyi described three Green Silkworm evolution paths: Ice Crystal Swallowtail, Ghost Beauty Butterfly, and Goddess of Light Butterfly, each requiring at least expert-level Worm Silk proficiency before cocooning.

Shi Yu learned the Goddess of Light Butterfly evolution method from Lu Qingyi, but began considering an unconventional way to evolve the Green Silkworm using the Skill Index and Supreme Level Worm Silk. After Lu Qingyi left, Shi Yu decided to buy a phone with the money he expected to receive the next day.

• Shi Yu asked whether a Green Silkworm could master Supreme Level Worm Silk, and Lu Qingyi explained the difficulty and risks of evolving with highly proficient Worm Silk.

• Shi Yu received a text from the Ping City Beast Tamer Association announcing the ruins’ opening and the assessment required to explore them.

Shi Yu learned that the Secret Realm ruins were dangerous, challenge-based spaces and decided to prepare before investigating them. After Lu Qingyi explained the ruins and brought his Eleven Bureau identification and ten million, Shi Yu chose to train for the association’s wilderness assessment first.

• Shi Yu suspected the wilderness combat training was a way to recruit cannon fodder for the ruins, then asked Eleven and the Green Silkworm to join him in the training.

• Lu Qingyi brought Shi Yu his Eleven Bureau identification and ten million, and explained that the identification allowed him to enter most ruins directly.
