Beast Taming, my intelligence updates daily.

Chapter 246 Meeting an old friend!
As the students taking the college entrance examination entered the secret realm one by one, Ye Bai received a backpack from the other staff members after everyone had gone inside.

Inside were water and dry rations, which were Ye Bai's meals for the past few days.

He has to take care of his own eating, drinking, and relieving himself in the secret realm.

"I'll have to trouble you with this next step."

"Please make sure to protect the safety of the students; they are the pillars of the future."

"You can only move within the pre-defined area, and you must ensure that students can be rescued in a timely manner within this area."

This time, the security detail was the same old acquaintances—Yin Hu and his three lovable subordinates, Ji Shui Bao, Kang Jin Long, and Wei Huo Hu.

When they saw Ye Bai's familiar figure, they were stunned for a moment.

"No, is Ye Bai a staff member here?"

"Isn't he a student?"

Everyone was stunned. Was he here to take the college entrance exam? Why was he wearing a staff uniform?
At this moment, Ji Shuibao, the quickest-witted one, laughed: "Everyone has forgotten that Ye Bai has already been admitted to Imperial University through a special recommendation program."

"He's here to help, isn't he?"

Yin Hu, the pillar of the state, frowned slightly.

Ye Bai is a highly accomplished researcher with numerous research projects under his belt, making him arguably the second most talented genius after Zhang Lingxue.

What are these people in the Education Department thinking?

It's ridiculous that such an important researcher isn't being properly protected, but instead is being put in charge of security.
Moreover, this guy is that old ghost's personal disciple. If he accidentally kicks the bucket, the old ghost will probably blow up the entire secret realm.

Yin Hu Zheng Guozhu looked to the side, and Ji Shuibao immediately understood what Yin Hu Zheng Guozhu meant: to investigate what was going on.

Soon Ji Shuibao returned, looking rather grim.

"This transfer order was issued by the Logistics Department of Imperial University, and it is to have Ye Bai participate in the college entrance examination supervision."

"He was originally transferred to the logistics department, where his job was to just watch the surveillance footage."

"As a result, someone intervened and arranged for Ye Bai to be assigned to the security department."

"Should we intervene to prevent any mishaps?"

"Ji Shuibao asked cautiously."

Yin Hu, the pillar of the state, shook his head: "Not for now."

"Don't underestimate Ye Bai. According to Chen Long, Ye Bai is quite strong."

"He has a complete set of pets. All we need to do is protect him in critical moments and not interfere too much."

"So that he won't think we're being nosy."

"Have all the college entrance exam takers entered the secret realm yet?"

"Is everything about the surveillance cameras ready?"

"Have all the space talismans been distributed?"

Yin Hu, the pillar of the state, asked three questions in a row.

Tailfire Tiger nodded: "Tiger Pillar, everything is ready, don't worry."

"We will also enter the secret realm later. If any students encounter danger, we will do our best to treat them."

Space talismans also have flaws; if they encounter a strange beast that can shield space, the students will not be able to be teleported out.

At this point, security personnel would rush forward to fight the monster and protect the students.

Ye Bai put on the Education Department's high-tech equipment—black goggles.

Inside the goggles was a map of the entire secret realm.

This made it easier for Ye Bai to determine the direction of the Jianmu tree.

One of these areas was the one Ye Bai was responsible for guarding.

Ye Bai is responsible for the safety of all students in this area and must not make any mistakes, otherwise he will be punished and the incident will be recorded in his file.

"Logistics personnel, prepare to enter the secret realm immediately to protect the safety of the college entrance examination candidates."

Yin Hu shouted a message, and everyone present saluted him before lining up to walk towards the gate of the secret realm.

The gates to the secret realm have been fully opened, radiating a rainbow of colors.

Ye Bai gently touched the gate to the secret realm, and his body was sucked inside.

He involuntarily moved forward, passing through a series of bizarre bubbles, and finally arrived at the trunk of a towering tree.

Looking up, the air in the forest is very humid, and there are lush, green trees all around, which is clearly a tropical rainforest climate.

In this tropical rainforest, it won't be long before you're covered in sweat.

In the dense tropical rainforest, towering trees rise from the ground, their branches and leaves extremely lush, and countless vines entwine around them, looking from a distance like ferocious venomous snakes.

The tree trunk was covered with moss, as if the years had etched their marks upon it, and occasionally tiny ant-like creatures would hurry past in the grooves of the bark.

Sunlight filters through the dense foliage, casting dappled patterns of light, like starlight falling on the ground covered with fallen leaves.

The river meanders along, its waters crystal clear, teeming with small fish covered in sharp teeth.

The river flows through the rocks and tree roots, making a gurgling sound.

Deep in the rainforest, one can occasionally hear the calls of birds and strange beasts in the distance. Looking up, one can see a brightly colored creature flying overhead, leaving a magnificent arc in its wake.

The air in the rainforest is filled with moisture and the scent of earth.

Before long, Ye Bai was drenched in sweat.

After checking that there were no cameras around, Ye Bai opened his palm, and a paper figure that looked like a butterfly flew out of his hand.

The paper figure circled Ye Bai three times before finally transforming into Ye Bai's likeness.

He also had paper puppets that he kept specifically for himself, to shield himself from surveillance.

Ye Bai planned to enter the Five Elements Butterfly Secret Realm through this method.

"I'm counting on you from now on."

Ye Bai patted the paper figure on the shoulder, and then transferred himself onto it. Next, Ye Bai disguised himself as a student, and to avoid being recognized, he released the Storm Fang Wolf.

Ye Bai placed Storm Fang Wolf into a beast card, and Storm Fang Wolf seemed very excited after it came out.

Heaven knows how difficult it was for it in the dark and hopeless Beast Card, not only was it constantly hungry, but its will remained clear.

Seeing the Storm Fang Wolf looking so aggrieved, Ye Bai patted its head.

"Alright, Storm Fang Wolf, this time you'll have to cooperate with me."

"I will give you your freedom."

Storm Fang Wolf looked at Ye Bai with disdain; he had said the same thing last time.

"Don't worry, I keep my word."

"I will find you a partner and you will live a happy life."

The fur on Storm Fang Wolf's body has grown out, making it look incredibly cool.

It lay prone on the ground, moving in the direction Ye Bai pointed.

All the strange beasts along the way were intimidated by the oppressive aura of the fifth-tier Storm Fang Wolf and dared not show their faces.

This secret realm is extremely large; it would take Ye Bai about a day to reach the location of the collapsed Jianmu tree.

However, Ye Bai wanted to get to the Five Elements Butterfly Realm as quickly as possible. The Emperor's Dew was about to begin, and he wanted to go to the Five Elements Butterfly Realm to get a share of the spoils.

This Emperor's Dew has an effect on all of Ye Bai's pets.

It can even enhance Ye Bai's soul power.

He used paper figures to block the surveillance.

Yin Hu and the others still haven't realized that the 'Ye Bai' who is working diligently in their area is actually a fake.

Ye Bai traveled for a whole day and soon it was evening in the secret realm.

As night falls, the rainforest at night resembles a vast black velvet cloth, deep and mysterious.

Above the dense canopy of trees, countless stars twinkled in the sky, like diamonds scattered from the heavens and inlaid on the inky black canvas.

Faint starlight filtered through the gaps in the treetops, sprinkling onto the damp ground.

A winding stream flows quietly, its water shimmering with a faint silver light under the starlight. Small fish float peacefully in the water, seemingly resting.

At this moment, Storm Fang Wolf and Ye Bai were resting by the stream.

A campfire was burning, the burning branches emitting plumes of black smoke.

Beside the campfire, there were already more than a dozen fish that had been gutted and gutted, their bodies pierced through wooden sticks, placed not far from the campfire.

The scorching heat forced drops of golden oil onto the fish's body.

A fragrant aroma wafted out.

The Storm Fang Wolf was drooling all over the ground, and Ye Bai could even feel the vibrations coming from the pet space.

His pet animal wanted to come out and eat grilled fish.

"Don't rush, don't rush. After it's cooked, I'll send the grilled fish to your pet space so you can enjoy it to your heart's content."

"You'll have to wait."

Ye Bai sprinkled cumin and sesame seeds on the fish, making it even more fragrant.

Storm Fang Wolf breathed heavily through its nose, as if it could suck the fish in front of it into its mouth.

"Phew, Storm Fang Wolf, stop drooling, it makes you look stupid."

"Besides grilled fish, I also made beggar's chicken. Would you like some?"

The ground was scorching hot, but by then the weather had turned cold.

Some students who had never spent the night in the forest before were shivering from the cold and even called out their pets to keep each other warm.

Just then, a rustling sound came from the jungle.

A giant rabbit leaped straight out of the forest.

It landed with a thud not far from the campfire.

It suddenly sniffed the aroma of the grilled fish.

"Boxing Rabbit, don't run away!"

"Boxing King Rabbit".

Li Chen emerged from the forest.

He and Ye Bai looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Ye Bai, what are you doing here?"

Li Chen was stunned.

Am I hallucinating?

The moment Ye Bai saw Li Chen, the little paper figure on his body started to move.

The little paper figure set up a large number of barriers, directly blocking the signal from Li Chen's body.

"Remember, you didn't see me tonight."

"I am the inspector for this year's college entrance examination."

“Once the news of your private contact with me gets out, you will be suspected of cheating on the college entrance exam.”

Ye Bai said solemnly to Li Chen.

"I blocked your signal immediately. Shouldn't you be taking the college entrance exam in Jiaying City?"

"Why did you come to the capital?"

Ye Bai asked Li Chen with some curiosity.
