nShi Yu was certain that he had heard a voice.

n

nAnd that feeling was the same as when he used telepathy.

n

nAs he searched, he locked onto the source of the “sound”. It was definitely the stone statue…

n

nHowever, no matter how he looked at it, this stone statue didn’t look like an extraordinary life form.

n

nThis was just an ordinary stone statue made according to the appearance of the stone giant.

n

nCould it be that it had become a spirit?

n

nImpossible. If it had evolved into a transcendent life form, it would have long been noticed by other Beast Tamers.

n

nThere was a lot of traffic here. In a place like the Beast Tamer Association, high-level Beast Tamers could be seen everywhere. There were also a bunch of Beast Tamers with talent in telepathy.

n

nA wild transcendent creature couldn’t be hidden. This stone statue had been here for at least a few years.

n

nAfter the voice disappeared, Shi Yu continued to observe.

n

nHe observed for a moment and still didn’t discover anything. This was just an ordinary stone statue, and the material was also very ordinary stone.

n

nLogically speaking, it should be impossible to communicate with such an inanimate object through telepathy. This was common knowledge that had been passed down for a very long time. Unless, there were still unknown ways to use telepathy.

n

nTeacher Zhang smiled and said to them, “That’s all. I have something to do later, so I’ll leave first. You don’t have to think too much. You don’t have to worry about the Beast Tide. Even if that legendary ice dragon revives, our Beast Tamers can take it on.”

n

nIn ancient times, dragons were unreachable creatures, but in modern times, Dragon Tamers had long become a profession. Although they were rare, they weren’t that hard to find.

n

n“Alright, thank you, Teacher Zhang,” Chen Kai said.

n

nShi Yu also thanked him. Then, after the few of them said goodbye, Teacher Zhang left, leaving Shi Yu and the others looking at each other.

n

n“Then, are we going back to hunt Earth Rats?” Chen Kai asked.

n

n“No, let’s talk about it in the future,” Shi Yu said. “I also suddenly remembered I had something to do…”

n

n“Are you in a hurry? You can eat before you leave…”

n

n“It’s urgent!”

n

nInitially, Chen Kai and the others wanted to have dinner with Shi Yu before leaving. However, since Shi Yu left in a hurry, the four of them departed soon after.

n

nIn the end, Chen Kai and the others didn’t even get Shi Yu’s contact information…

n

nIt couldn’t be helped. Shi Yu didn’t have a cell phone. This thing was more than ten times more expensive than on Earth, so he couldn’t afford one for the time being.

n

nIf Chen Kai wanted to look for Shi Yu, he could only leave a message at the Beast Tamer Association…

n

nThe difference between the two worlds was that it was very difficult to buy pandas, tigers, and elephants on Earth, but it was very easy to buy common technological products.

n

nHowever, in this world, the full price of an Iron-Eating Beast wasn’t even as expensive as the property prices in the city, but the technological products were much more expensive.

n

nAfter the few of them separated, Shi Yu went straight to Ping Cheng District’s library to check on some information.

n

nUnfortunately, even until evening, he didn’t find what he wanted to know.

n

nHowever, although he couldn’t find what he was looking for, it made Shi Yu understand this world better.

n

nThe history of this world could roughly be divided into three eras.

n

nThe Mythical Era, the Totem Era, and the Beast Tamer Era.

n

nThe Mythical Era was said to be the era when the earliest batch of Mythical creatures born in the world ruled the planet.

n

nThe Totem Era was the era where humans were born and survived under the territories of powerful creatures in various ways.

n

nThe Beast Tamer Era was the era when humans began to master the ability to control beasts.

n

nThis Beast Tamer Era could also be divided into ancient and modern generations.

n

nThe turning point was more than a hundred years ago when seven human countries jointly established an alliance.

n

nIt was a very simple division of three eras. However, due to some special reasons, there were many gaps in the history of this world.

n

nFor example, why the first batch of Mythical creatures had collectively disappeared was a historical enigma that had happened at an unknown time.

n

nAnd what happened in Icefield City 2,000 years ago was clearly a history that the people of today had yet to fully explore.

n

nAfter coming out of the library, Shi Yu kept repeating to himself, “I shouldn’t be too curious, I shouldn’t be curious, I shouldn’t be curious!!”

n

nHe forced himself not to think about these things.

n

nThis was his old habit again.

n

nIn his previous life, Shi Yu was an archaeologist. Later on, due to some special reasons, he had come into contact with an unknown Mythical “System”. Out of curiosity, he had changed his profession to Mythical Scholar.

n

nThen, going to various ruins, ancient sites, and exploring this unknown Mythical system with his teacher became his daily routine.

n

nThen, he had died.

n

nDuring an exploration, they had encountered an accident. They had encountered a mountain collapse and were buried alive. Then, they transmigrated here.

n

n“Curiosity kills.”

n

nShi Yu recalled that he had been obsessed with researching the history of the unknown Mythical system back then and wanted to slap himself.

n

nWasn’t it better for shut-ins to just play games and watch anime? Why would they go to all kinds of dangerous places to investigate and research for no reason?

n

nIn short, now that he had transmigrated to this more dangerous world, Shi Yu only wanted to live more comfortably within a safe range.

n

nHe had to enjoy this life.

n

nAlthough the history of this world seemed to have more mysteries and had a more realistic mythology system, it was definitely impossible for him, Shi Yu, to walk the same path as in his previous life.

n

nImpossible…

n

n…

n

nIn the garden area of the Beast Tamer Association of Ping Cheng, under the stone-giant statue.

n

nAt this point, the sky was already dark, and there was basically no one else in the park.

n

nShi Yu looked at the stone statue under the moonlight and asked, “Were you the one speaking during the day? You were refuting the history recount of that teacher…”

n

nIt wasn’t like that…

n

nNo matter how one looked at it, it seemed to be refuting what that Teacher Zhang said, but only Shi Yu heard this refutation.

n

n‘Big Brother Stone, say something.’

n

nShi Yu used his telepathy to communicate with the stone statue.

n

nHowever, unlike during the day, the stone statue didn’t react at all.

n

n“If you don’t say anything, I’m leaving.”

n

nThe stone statue was still indifferent.

n

nShi Yu fell silent.

n

nCould it be that he had been hallucinating or something?

n

nHe recalled how he felt when he looked at the stone statue in the afternoon.

n

nAt that time, he had just finished listening to the history described by Teacher Zhang and was curious about that history.

n

nAs Teacher Zhang had said that that piece of history was only speculation and had not been verified, when Shi Yu looked at the stone statue, his subconscious thought was wanting to know what the real history was.

n

nIt was then that he heard the stone statue’s voice.

n

n“Tell me.”

n

nAs Shi Yu stared at the stone statue, he subconsciously recalled his trip to various ruins, researching ancient artifacts, and exploring the truth of history.

n

n“Tell me. I can return history to the truth.”

n

nAt this moment, Shi Yu’s thoughts were clear; he really wanted to make this historical truth public.

n

nAt this moment, he didn’t want to listen to the voice of the stone statue, but to listen to the voice of history.

n

nHe believed that his current state was already extremely similar to this afternoon’s.

n

nAt this moment, he activated his telepathy and searched for the feeling from the afternoon.

n

nIt seemed like… his brain was rumbling??

n

nBoom!!!

n

nThe voice came, and the boom directly made Shi Yu’s scalp tingle.

n

nBut this voice clearly didn’t come mentally but had exploded in his ears instead.

n

nHe looked up and opened his mouth… because the sky seemed to have suddenly trembled.

n

nCrack!

n

nThen, Shi Yu was attracted by the stone statue again.

n

nThis time, the stone statue indeed made a sound, but it was the sound of cracking.

n

nUnder his gaze, the stone statue directly cracked from top to bottom…

n

n“F*ck, something happened!” Shi Yu turned and left. He swore that if he touched his old profession again, he would be a dog.

n

nThat career was too dangerous, even more dangerous than being a beast tamer.

n

n“Eleven, save me.”
