Chapter 440: Countdown to Civilization

The exaggerated reactions of Teacher Liang and Teacher Duan made Li Qian understand that this "virtual beast" must be extraordinary.

But this is also normal, after all, this thing may be the real reason for the demise of the Rong tribe.

So he did not hesitate and directly spoke out the information he knew, "Teacher Liang, go in from the dimensional crack underground, and there are also Rong ruins inside."

"In the ruins, in the tallest stone house, on the four walls, this kind of monster is carved."

"By the way, Teacher Liang, you said this monster is called a 'virtual beast', what exactly is a 'virtual beast'?"

Seeing that Teacher Liang fell into silence after listening to Li Qian's words, he seemed to be struggling whether he should tell this matter.

Duan Kong sighed, looked at Teacher Liang, and said, "Tell them, this kind of thing will be made public sooner or later."

"The most important thing is, I think, with the talents of Li Qian and the two little girls, it may not be a bad thing to know it earlier."

"I believe they also know the importance of it and will definitely not leak it casually."

"Okay, since Director Duan said so, then I will tell you about it."

"But you have to promise that you will never reveal it."

Teacher Liang rubbed his head, thought for a moment, and finally agreed.

"At this stage, not many people know about this matter. The federal government, the eight-school alliance, and the military are trying their best to block this news."

"If ordinary people know this news, it will definitely cause a lot of turmoil."

After a pause and organizing his words a little, Teacher Liang continued: "Li Qian, since you have seen the Rong people's ruins inside the dimensional rift, I think you should have seen some information..."

Teacher Liang looked at Li Qian with a sharp gaze, "What do you think is the reason for the demise of the Rong people's tribe?"

Although Teacher Liang has not seen the ruins, since Li Qian mentioned that she saw a mural with a "virtual beast" carved in it, she roughly guessed some of the contents of the mural.

It is precisely because she guessed part of the content of the mural that she asked this question.

Li Qian listened to the questions raised by Teacher Liang, combined with the pictures he had seen, and slowly, in his mind, he had some answers.

He opened his mouth and tentatively answered: "Could the destruction of the Rong tribe be related to this 'virtual beast'?"

"Ah~!"

Teacher Liang sighed deeply, and then said in a serious expression: "It's not related to the 'virtual beast', but... it is the culprit!"

She continued to say: "To be more precise, it is not just the Rong ruins inside the underground dimensional crack, but the entire Rong civilization that was destroyed!"

After hearing this, Li Qian's pupils suddenly widened, his heart was shaken, and a storm was instantly set off.

At this moment, he finally understood why Teacher Liang and Teacher Duan reacted so strongly after hearing the "virtual beast".

He stared at Teacher Liang, waiting for her next explanation.

Why is the "virtual beast" the culprit for the destruction of the Rong civilization?

How did the "virtual beast" come into being, or where did it come from?

At this moment, Li Qian had all kinds of doubts in his heart, waiting for someone to answer them for him.

So he looked solemn and still kept listening attentively.

Teacher Liang did not let him wait for long. Soon, he continued to explain: "I am not very clear about where the virtual beast came from."

"There are two generally accepted theories. One is that it comes from the deepest part of the dimensional plane."

"There is such a saying that the virtual beast comes from the deepest part of the dimensional crack. Whenever the time is right, it will come out from the deepest part and destroy all the creatures it encounters."

"The second theory is that the virtual beast is born naturally. It is the pet beast in the dimensional plane that absorbs too much energy containing the breath of destruction and mutates."

"This theory also has some supporters."

Li Qian listened to Teacher Liang's statement and accurately grasped the key information.

He asked: "Teacher Liang, according to what you just said, as long as the time is right, the virtual beast will appear. Then, I don’t know what this time is?"

Teacher Liang smiled with relief when he saw Li Qian was so sensitive.

But she soon stopped smiling and her face became serious again. "What you said is very crucial, and that's why Director Duan and I are so surprised."

"Rumor has it that any civilization, as long as it enters the final stage and approaches the day of destruction, will have virtual beasts appear!"

"This..." Li Qian's heart was instantly filled with waves when he heard Teacher Liang's story, and the seriousness on his face turned into surprise.

"There is a saying that virtual beasts are the symbol of destruction and the butcher knife that destroys civilization. The closer to the end of civilization, the higher the frequency of virtual beasts will appear, and the stronger the virtual beasts will become."

Glancing at Li Qian, Bai Bingbing, and Irina, Teacher Liang continued: "In addition, virtual beasts have another characteristic."

"The vitality is extremely strong and it is extremely difficult to kill. If it is not dismembered or sealed directly with a formation, even if the head is chopped off, it will not die, and it still has a very strong combat power."

After Teacher Liang explained the characteristics of virtual beasts, Duan Kong spoke up. He specifically reminded them, "Student Li Qian, and you two girls, be careful when you train in the dimensional plane in the future. If you find a virtual beast, avoid it if you can, retreat if you can, and never fight it unless it is absolutely necessary."

"Yes!" The two girls nodded seriously.

Li Qian thought of Duan Kong's implication, and asked with a trembling voice: "Teacher Duan, do you mean that virtual beasts have appeared in our civilization?"

"Ah, this..." The two girls were reminded by Li Qian, and they all reacted, and then their faces changed drastically.

"Yes, it has appeared, and it has even been more than ten years!" Duan Kong said in a complicated tone.

"More than ten years ago, the strongest among our human beast masters explored deep into the dimensional plane and discovered the existence of virtual beasts in the sixth dimensional plane."

"But fortunately, even in the sixth dimensional plane, the number of virtual beasts is extremely rare."

Listening to Teacher Duan's statement, Irina, who had not spoken, suddenly interrupted, "But the appearance of virtual beasts does not mean..."

Although she did not finish her words, the meaning of her expression was very clear.

Teacher Duan smiled and eased the atmosphere on the scene, "It does mean that the civilization of our world has begun to enter the countdown to destruction."

"But you don't have to worry, this is just a little sign, and it's still a long way from the real destruction."

"It's not a legend. With our lifespan, we will definitely not see that day in this lifetime."

"According to the estimates of some archaeologists and some civilization researchers, there are at least three thousand years." Teacher Liang also added a sentence.

When Li Qian heard this time, the sense of crisis in his heart was slightly reduced.

Of course, he still felt like there was a sword of Damocles hanging over his head.

But he soon put this anxious mood behind him.

If the sky falls, there is a tall man to hold it up. Even if he can't sleep at night, it's just worrying about nothing.

For now, the most important thing is to improve his strength as soon as possible.

Li Qian thought so. At this time, Duan Kong also spoke up and echoed his thoughts, "Don't think too much. The reason why your teacher Liang didn't plan to say it at the beginning is because at this stage, even if you know it, it doesn't make any sense."

"This kind of event involving the destruction of civilization and the overthrow of the world, unless you are at the legendary level, you don't even have the qualifications to participate. In fact, the legendary level is just the threshold for participation."

"Legendary level..." Li Qian muttered to himself after hearing this, and then his eyes gradually became firm.

Suddenly, he thought of something else, so he asked, "Teacher Duan, you said that the gradual fusion of the present world and the dimensional plane is a sign of destruction!"

"Yes, when the present world and the dimensional plane are completely integrated, then the real countdown will come!"

"But our civilization also has its own unique advantages. Through the exploration of the ruins of the previous civilizations, we have already known this news, which gives us more time to prepare and deal with this crisis."

"Don't worry, although the crisis is terrible, the foundation accumulated by our human beings over the years is also extremely rich. It is not that easy to overthrow our human civilization."

At the end of the words, Duan Kong also gave Li Qian an encouraging look, "So, for you, at this stage, the most important thing is... to improve your strength as soon as possible."

"Especially you, Li Qian, you can study the evolution method of the three-legged golden crow, which is of great significance to humans."

"If you want to become a legendary beastmaster, you can't do without a legendary pet."

Next, Duan Kong and Teacher Liang talked about some things about virtual beasts one after another.

Finally, until night fell, the sky suddenly darkened like turning off the lights, and everyone returned to the camp.

Lying in the tent, Li Qian tossed and turned, but he couldn't fall asleep.

Although he tried to persuade himself in his heart not to think too much, it was useless to think too much.

But when the time came, it was almost impossible to be clear and clear and not to think too much.

Teacher Duan Kong and Teacher Liang's words almost overturned his worldview.

He had warned himself before that there was no need to worry, as long as the strength level was improved, the truth of this world would gradually open up to him.

But when the true face of this world suddenly appeared to him, he found that he couldn't accept it.

His head was a little dizzy from the impact.

...

"Li Qian, have you thought about it, and are you ready to go home through the dimensional plane corresponding to Jiangnan Beast Taming University?" The next day, Li Qian told Teacher Liang his thoughts, and the latter asked for confirmation.

Li Qian nodded, "I haven't been home since I enrolled. I was planning to go home during the last freshman challenge, but then, a cult organization wreaked havoc in Moyuan City. Dean Fei and his colleagues were worried that the cult organization would retaliate against me, so they took me back to school."

"This time, when I entered the dimensional rift, I accidentally discovered this dimensional plane space that overlaps with Jiangnan Beast Taming University. I can take this opportunity to go back."

Smiling, he continued: "Such a temporary trip, unexpected, the cult organization will definitely not find out."

At this time, Duan Kong also spoke, "Don't worry, I will be responsible for the safety of classmate Li Qian, and there will be no problem."

After hearing this, Teacher Liang wanted to complain in his heart.

I am most worried about you.

Our Shazhou Beast Taming University finally recruited such a genius student.

I am really afraid that you will abduct him!

"I will go with you!" Li Qian told Duan Kong and Teacher Yang about his idea. Before he put it into practice, Irina suddenly interrupted.

Li Qian heard this and smiled helplessly, "I am going home this time, Irina, what's the big deal if you follow me?"

"I will follow you to protect your safety." Irina said with a serious look.

Li Qian waved his hand, "The trump card I have is enough to guarantee my safety. Besides, there is Teacher Duan!"

"Don't worry, my safety will definitely not be a problem!" Li Qian patted his chest and said confidently.

"I..." Bai Bingbing was hesitant to speak, and finally chose to remain silent.

Irina wanted to leave with Li Qian, and she could find an excuse to protect her safety, but she really couldn't find any reason.

Teacher Liang saw this scene and shook his head helplessly.

Duan Kong cast a meaningful look at Li Qian.

In the end, at Li Qian's insistence, Senior Sister Irina did not follow him.

After a simple packing, he followed Duan Kong into the underground palace.

Through the dimensional cracks in the stone chamber of the underground palace, they came to the ruins of the Rong people's tribe.

After passing the dimensional cracks on the top layer of the highest stone roof, they returned to the place where they fought with the bat-winged blue dragon.

At this moment, the small water pool has completely disappeared.

The water inside has also been completely sucked up by the golden light Moke elephant.

Seeing it again, it looked more like a small hole made by a meteorite.

"Old elephant, return the water!" After coming out of the dimensional crack, Duan Kong looked at the small hole and directly summoned the golden light Moke elephant and gave it an order.

Li Qian nodded slightly when he saw this.

He knew what Duan Kong's purpose was.

After all, this is the fourth-level dimensional plane, and all kinds of dangers are everywhere.

Such a dimensional crack, just so brightly appearing here, is still very eye-catching.

If it is discovered by some extraordinary creatures or people from a cult organization and then destroyed, it will be a tragedy.
