Two days later.
At the edge of the snow mountain.
Two Beast Tamers in winter clothes walked out of the snow mountain with dozens of people and entered the camp outside the city wall.
Against the background of the white snow mountain, the environment of the soldiers stationed outside the nearby city wall appeared especially arduous.
If it weren’t for their protection, the living environment of the entire Icefield City wouldn’t be as comfortable as it was now.
Shi Yu’s predecessor of this alternate world had very high respect for these people.
After all, if not for them, the young Shi Yu would not have been able to escape Ping Cheng.
And Shi Yu, who had transmigrated, naturally had a good impression of the Beast Tamers of the Beast Tamer Troops.
They were very similar to the soldiers in his previous life. They had always been guarding places that were difficult for anyone to notice, silently protecting the people behind them. They were very noble.
Shi Yu happily accepted Bureau 11’s assessment and prepared to investigate the Ice Dragon Ruins in the snow mountain. Apart from his archeological soul acting out, he also wanted to investigate the situation of the snow mountain from the source and see if anything could change.
If the archeological path could be helpful, then there would be more motivation.
“Haha, looks like there’s good news.”
In the camp outside the city wall, the busy President Feng looked at the Beast Taming Troops who had returned with a load. When he saw the smile on their faces, he couldn’t help but ask, “How’s the situation?”
Wang Meng, the commander of the Beast Tamer Corps in Ping Cheng, glanced at him and nodded. “It’s alright.”
Lin Hongnian, the gold medal fighter not part of the military, said, “The beast tide’s abnormality has temporarily stopped.”
“Double joy.” President Feng chuckled. “We have also successfully cracked the ruins that Old He is in charge of.”
Wang Meng and Lin Hongnian were stunned.
It was cracked?
Wasn’t the progress still stuck at the fourth level?
At the moment, it didn’t seem to be the time to allow the other districts and counties to take their turns.
“Old Lin, come here. I’m telling you…” President Feng pulled Lin Hongnian over.
After that, he praised a certain duo.
From the beginning of the order of entry to the Evolution Holy Spring, Lin Hongnian was stunned and couldn’t believe it.
What?
A combination skill of expert level Thunder Palm and expert level Hardening?
A little metal-eating beast that mastered expert-level deterrence?
It was suspected that an ancient bloodline had awakened after the Evolution Holy Spring bath?
The sixth level of the ruins was an Ice Dragon Phantom? Shi Yu even defeated it?
What the f*ck was this? Did some snow maiden in the snow mountain cast an illusion on him before he came out?
“Old Lin, where are you going…”
“Returning to Ping Cheng to look for Shi Yu!”
…
Training villa.
Lin Hongnian came to Shi Yu’s new home.
At this moment, Shi Yu was leisurely sunbathing. He did not expect that someone would visit him at this time.
Who was it…
Shi Yu ran to open the door.
“Hall Master Lin, why are you here?”
After Shi Yu opened the door of the courtyard, he saw the serious-looking Lin Hongnian and was surprised.
“By the way, you’ve been to the snow mountain recently, right? How’s the situation over there?”
“It’s still manageable,” Lin Hongnian said. “I heard that you cracked that ruin?”
Back then, he did suggest that Shi Yu could go there to train, but he never expected that Shi Yu could break through the sixth level and grow so quickly.
Eleven had just started learning the Thunder Palm when he had decided to go to the snow mountain for the expedition…
Why did it become a combination skill that was expert in Thunder Palm and expert in Hardening in the end??
It was as if he had been out for several years.
However, this was not important. After all, Shi Yu was introduced by Lu Qingyi, a genius who had reached the master level in his early twenties.
With Lu Qingyi’s help, it was normal for Shi Yu to be a little ridiculous.
At this moment, Lin Hongnian’s most important goal was to ask about the Evolution Holy Spring and the ancient bloodline of the iron-eating beast.
“Moreover, I heard that your Iron-eating Beast gained something from the Evolution Holy Spring. It seems to have awakened some ancient bloodline?”
“Can you tell me about it?” Lin Hongnian looked serious.
Everyone in Ping Cheng knew how obsessed Lin Hongnian was with finding the evolution form of the iron-eating beast.
“Come in first.”
Shi Yu invited Hall Master Lin Hongnian into the courtyard.
At this moment, Eleven was training, and the Green Silkworm was trying its best to have a lucid dream as per his request. It was quiet here.
The two of them sat at the bamboo table. Shi Yu said, “I think that should be an ancient bloodline. It might be what the iron-eating beasts looked like thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago.”
“The form is actually not much different from now. It’s like an Iron-eating Beast wearing armor, but it doesn’t feel like a transcendent Hardening skill.”
The Transcendent Level Hardening symbol was that the Hardening Material could be released to form weapons and equipment. In addition, it could also attach the Hardening Material to other objects.
At the moment, only Master Lin Hongnian’s Iron-eating Beast in front of him had reached this proficiency.
Logically speaking, by relying on Perfect Level Hardening, one could create an armor suit. However, the feeling that the bloodline awakening gave him back then was that it was not as simple as Hardening. It was indeed a completely new life form.
“Battle armor…” Lin Hongnian fell into deep thought.
“It’s possible to form battle armor with transcendent hardening, but if you don’t think so… Then is it possible that transcendent hardening is one of the evolution conditions for the iron-eating beast?” Hall Master Lin guessed.
“It means that using transcendent Level Hardening to form a similar weapon and then stabilizing this form in a certain way… Is the evolution method of the iron-eating beast?” Shi Yu said. “Isn’t it a little too perfunctory…”
If that was the case, even if the evolved Hardening skill could still be added to armor and become double Hardening, it didn’t feel like there was any future.
A commander rank was the limit, in this scenario.
“It’s just a guess.” Lin Hongnian also felt that it was too simple. He couldn’t help but laugh and leave it at that.
