Beast Taming, my intelligence updates daily.

Chapter 39 Skill Mutation

"Let's maintain this order. The entire city will be under martial law for at least two days. We need to make sure that not a single mole can escape."

"The burrowing rats have a strong reproductive capacity. If a small number of burrowing rats escape and are given time to reproduce, it is very likely that another beast tide will form."

"In particular, the virus that infects these burrowing rats increases the possibility of another animal tide."

"Our most urgent task now is to find a way to close the rift in the secret realm."

"Although the email indicated that the rift in the secret realm would automatically repair itself within a day, closing it sooner would greatly reduce the risk."

The existence of rifts in the secret realm will cause a continuous stream of burrowing rats to emerge from it.

Although the Pet Beast Guild members killed the burrowing rats that rushed out of the secret realm immediately, killing so many burrowing rats at the same time might have caused them to misjudge the situation.

In particular, the burrowing rat is a unique rodent species that is adept at feigning death when faced with danger and is also skilled at digging burrows.

If the escaped mole rats were to form another beast tide, all the previous warnings would have been for nothing.

The reason why beast tides are feared is that during a beast tide, the strange beasts will go berserk and devour all living creatures, leaving nothing but desolation in their wake.

During this process, their levels will increase rapidly without any bottlenecks.

For ordinary beasts, breaking through from the first tier to the second tier is extremely difficult, but during a beast tide, it becomes much easier to break through from the first tier to the second tier.

This is a very special phenomenon. According to the research of experts and professors, it is possible that the beasts secrete a special signaling hormone during the beast tide.

Stimulated by signal hormones, the cells of the alien beasts develop a craving, and they will devour anything that is beneficial to them, thereby achieving a leap in life.

Wang Jinyin once sent people to infiltrate the secret realm to investigate. As a result, the secret realm was full of burrowing rats, which had eaten the entire secret realm until nothing grew.

Even their young have become their food.

This indicates that the population of burrowing rats has exceeded the carrying capacity of the secret realm itself.

Even without spatial rifts, these burrowing rats would kill each other, thus restoring the balance of supply and demand in the secret realm.

Therefore, during this process, the burrowing rats will attack at all costs, and even if they die, their flesh and blood will become nourishment for their companions.

In this process, it becomes easier to give birth to higher-level mythical beasts.

The appearance of the spatial rift diverted the attention of the burrowing rats who were fighting each other, and they turned their attention to the outside world.

"These burrowing rats are infected with an unknown virus, which makes them more bloodthirsty and frenzied."

"They have completely lost their minds; all they have left are primal aggression and the desire to reproduce."

"They will eat a lot and then undergo a life leap."

"I'm worried that high-level alien beasts might appear."

"Therefore we must do everything we can to kill these burrowing rats in order to prevent them from having too much impact on Jiaying City."

"Tell the new pet trainers who have joined the Pet Beast Guild to be careful. Once the burrowing rats advance to the second-tier Bloodrage Rat, they become very difficult to kill."

"If they aren't dealt a heavy blow, the Bloodrat will recover quickly."

"If these guys devour enough flesh and blood, they might break through to the third rank."

Wang Jinyin repeatedly emphasized this point.

In this beast tide, many burrowing rats will definitely advance to the second tier, and some may even break through to the third tier.

Jiaying City is not rich in minerals, so the probability of a Digger Rat evolving into a Bloodrat is higher.

What is the current situation regarding evacuation at major secondary schools in Jiaying City, such as Shenshan Middle School?

Wang Jinyin asked his secretary.

"All the high schools have opened shelters, and the teachers are patrolling them to prevent the invasion of the burrowing rats."

"We have now developed an infrasound patrol vehicle that targets burrowing rats specifically, based on their characteristics."

"Now they are patrolling the neighborhood in pairs."

"When the burrowing rats hear the infrasound, it's like countless nails are being driven into their heads." "They will be incredibly agitated and crawl out of their hiding places to attack the patrol car. Don't worry, Chairman."

Wang Jinyin rubbed his throbbing temples: "I feel like I've overlooked something."

"I've had a bad feeling about this. It's strange, we've done everything we were supposed to do."

Wang Jinyin felt somewhat uneasy; he rarely felt this way.

"Furthermore, we need to expedite the search for the person with the talent to foresee the future. He is extremely important to us, and even to the entire Yan Kingdom."

"We must find him and protect him. Foresight is an S-class talent."

Wang Jinyin said firmly.

Typically, members of the Yan Kingdom Alliance undergo a test at age 16, which is their senior year of high school, to see if they have awakened their pet beast space and become pet beast masters. At the same time, the test also examines what talents each person has awakened.

According to scientists, it becomes very difficult to awaken consciousness after the age of 16.

However, it cannot be ruled out that some people will only awaken their pet space and talents after the age of 16.

This person who awakened the ability to foresee the future probably suddenly discovered his talent and became a pet master, which is why he was not recorded by the Yan Kingdom Alliance.

On the other side, the Bloodsteel Rat was sent flying by the Thousand Transformations Silkworm. At this moment, its whole body was bald, and its back was covered with bloody holes.

It had just unleashed a barrage of steel spikes from its body, but not a single one hit the Thousand Transformations Silkworm, infuriating the Blood Steel Rat to the point of wanting to jump up.

The steel spikes on its body are all disposable.

It now needs to replenish enough metallic substances for the steel spikes on its back to grow back.

However, Ye Bai will not give Bloodsteel Rat that chance.

The Bloodsteel Rat is now like a toothless tiger, posing no threat whatsoever to the Thousand-Change Silkworm.

"The Thousand-Transformation Silkworm delivers the final blow to Steelix, using Rollout to ram into Steelix!!"

The Thousand Transformations Silkworm crushed through the Bloodsteel Rat's body like a heavy chariot.

Bloodsteel Rat coughed up a mouthful of blood, feeling as if its internal organs had been squeezed into a single mass.

It fell to the ground, exhaling more air than it took in.

"Final blow."

The Thousand Transformations Silkworm slammed its big butt into the Steelix, completely knocking it out.

The star-blue energy surged directly into the body of the Thousand Transformations Silkworm, which broke through its bottleneck and leveled up to lv7 (first tier, level 7).

At this moment, a vine emerged from the ground, searched the mangled head of the Bloodsteel Rat, and selected a silver-white crystal core.

The vines wrapped around the crystal core and handed it to Ye Bai.

Ye Bai casually tossed the crystal core to the Thousand Transformations Silkworm, who was staring at him expectantly.

After consuming the crystal core, the Thousand Transformations Silkworm suddenly gained a new skill, Tempering (1/100), which is not yet mastered.

But the next second, Ye Bai was surprised to find that his proficiency with the tempering skill was increasing rapidly.

The Tempering skill proficiency level quickly became Familiar, while the Thousand Transformations Silkworm's Hardening skill completely disappeared, replaced by the Tempering skill.

"So, after the Thousand Transformations Silkworm devours the crystal core, the skills it comprehends will automatically merge with lower-level skills of the same type?"

"This is a bit outrageous."

Ye Bai blinked, a look of disbelief on his face.

Please vote for me. Also, let me explain why the protagonist doesn't reveal his Eye of Insight. First, the awakening stone detected that the protagonist's awakened talent is photographic memory at the beginning. If he suddenly gained the Eye of Insight talent, he would definitely be targeted and people would investigate how he acquired this talent.

Secondly, if he were to expose this talent, he would be hunted down by other countries and end up in the same predicament as Li Weiyang.
