After adjusting his state, on this day, Shi Yu finally decided to challenge the ruins again.
Their goal: to conquer the fifth and sixth levels in one go!
After informing President Feng, Shi Yu came to the outskirts of the valley where he had been before.
"Please show your identification!"
When Shi Yu arrived, the soldier at the outermost security line raised an eyebrow.
Goodness!
It's that monster rookie who cleared four levels in a row, mastered a combination skill during the apprentice stage, and doubled their training load!
He disappeared for half a month, no, he prepared for half a month, and now he's finally back to challenge the ruins?
However, even though the soldier recognized Shi Yu, the procedures still had to be followed.
After passing through multiple security checks, Shi Yu entered the valley.
The environment here still felt the same as last time, but there were many more camps.
Clearly, the tamer group that came with Shi Yu before had chosen to camp here to prepare for battle.
Although this reduced their freedom and required military-style training, it was still a good deal with food and lodging provided, guidance from professional tamer officers, and the opportunity to interact with many peers.
When Shi Yu arrived, he noticed a strange phenomenon.
A young man with a pale face and some freckles was training his wind crystal butterfly's wind blade skill using his wind enhancement talent on the roadside.
He was not yet at the professional level, and due to the limited physical abilities of tamers, such enhancement talents were hard to use in combat, so they could only be used daily to assist in training their pets' wind skills.
However, even so, the physical energy consumption was still significant.
To conquer the ruins, such intense training was understandable. After all, Shi Yu himself had also worked hard, using the skill manual to help his pets level up.
But what Shi Yu found most incomprehensible was that after training for a while, the tamer took out a very familiar drug, the Ming Shen capsule, and swallowed one before continuing to train.
Shi Yu: "……"
Shi Yu: "???"
So intense?
Medicine is toxic, you know!
Moderation! Isn't it better to rest normally?
After making money, Shi Yu no longer ate Ming Shen capsules and instead consumed pure natural supplements.
Who started this bad trend?
"It's Shi Yu."
"Shi Yu is here."
Although Shi Yu came very low-key, he was already a celebrity at the ruins.
After all, apart from him, no other tamer had cleared the fourth level yet.
As for the third level, two more people had completed it in the past half month.
"Shi Yu... he's finally back."
In a corner of the camp, Cheng Gong and his Moon Flame Beast walked out.
In addition, Chen Kai, one of the culprits who started the supplement trend, and Doctor Qiao Liang, among others, were also surprised and came out to see Shi Yu.
Shi Yu had been missing for half a month, and they thought he had given up on conquering the ruins.
"Everyone, calm down, calm down!!!"
As a crowd gathered around Shi Yu, the leader arrived.
Old He intimidated everyone and was the first to laugh and approach Shi Yu.
"Here already?"
"President Feng told me. Do you need more preparation? He might take a while to get here."
"I'll go in first." Shi Yu said to Colonel He.
He wasn't one to like waiting. After preparing for so long, he was eager to see the sixth level of the ruins...
Of course, what he wanted to see was not what BOSS was in the sixth level, but what rewards were there.
"Alright, let's go!" Old He said, "Good luck, you must conquer the fifth level this time!"
"When you do, I'll have the whole team sing mountain songs to celebrate."
The tamer soldiers: Is that appropriate?
Shi Yu was also silent.
There's no need for that.
A bunch of guys singing at the top of their lungs isn't pleasant to listen to, and your tamer team doesn't have any female soldiers, so don't embarrass yourselves.
"Cough, I'll go in first."
Shi Yu looked at the direction of the ruins' statues, still the familiar six statues, with four faintly glowing and two dark.
Without hesitation, he walked towards the teleportation array. The soldiers responsible for the blockade didn't even ask him to register this time and let him pass directly.
At this moment, everyone's attention was on Shi Yu, curious to see if he could pass the fifth level of the ruins after half a month.
1 vs 100, that's a lot...
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Shi Yu quickly disappeared from the outside world.
...
Inside the ruins, the fifth level.
This level was saved, and Shi Yu stood on the familiar snowy peak, quietly watching the blizzard blow and the fierce beasts gather below.
A total of ten different ice-type fierce beasts from various extraordinary races, with growth levels ranging from eight to ten, and a total of one hundred in number.
Normally, this would be impossible to handle.
If an apprentice tamer could 1 vs 100 and withstand such a beast tide, would they still be called an apprentice tamer?
Previously, Shi Yu and Shi Yi were deterred by this scene, but that was in the past.
Although Shi Yu didn't know how the game designer expected players to conquer this level, the designer certainly didn't expect a pet to master a mastery-level intimidation skill during the awakening stage!
"Shi Yi!"
At Shi Yu's command, Shi Yi emerged from the tamer space.
It stood on the snowy peak, looking down at the fierce beasts below that hadn't yet realized the severity of the situation.
Shi Yi: (｀へ′) Roar!
The moment of revenge had arrived!
The level that made it surrender without a fight last time would now be the stepping stone to the sixth level!
Boom!
"Roar!!!!!!"
With another roar from Shi Yi, the air around it suddenly vibrated!
The wind and snow at its feet swirled, as if an invisible wave of intimidation spread from its body, sweeping out from the snowy peak in all directions!
"Roar!!!"
Shi Yi's roar instantly drew the attention of all the fierce beasts, but before they could react, a transparent wave swept over them like a storm, impacting every beast!
Buzz!!
After a loud ringing in the ears of all the fierce beasts, the world seemed to fall silent.
Then, a very shocking scene unfolded.
Bang...
With the first sound of a fall, more and more sounds followed, unable to be covered by the wind and snow.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang...
After a hundred sounds, all one hundred fierce beasts in the snowy environment fell to the ground and dissipated into ice elements.
Shi Yu looked at this scene, feeling a surge of confidence and a sense of dominance.
Is that it?
"Chirp."
However, before Shi Yu could get too excited, a weak voice came from beside him.
Bang.
Shi Yi also sat down, rubbing its head, feeling exhausted.
It even knocked its head a few times... it hurt.
Chirp, chirp, chirp, the consumption was quite high, and these guys were harder to take down than the Sky Wing.
"The number is indeed a bit large, but it's better than I expected." Shi Yu said.
He had planned to rest after the first round if he couldn't take them all down at once, then deal with them one by one.
But now, with its growth level increased by two and after the baptism of the Evolution Holy Spring, Shi Yi's state was better than expected!
1 vs 100, instant kill!
This is invincible!
"You rest first, I'll go check if there's any equipment dropped." Shi Yu said, as if he were in a dungeon.
"Chirp." At Shi Yu's suggestion, Shi Yi immediately nodded and began to shrink.
Smaller, smaller, smaller... in the next second, it shrank to about ten centimeters.
Shi Yu bent down, picked up the fluffy Shi Yi, and put it in his deep pocket, leaving only its head exposed.
"You can sleep for a while. This level should be considered cleared, and there's no danger now." Shi Yu looked at the glowing teleportation array in the distance.
"Chirp!"
Shi Yi shook its head, refusing to sleep!
It didn't want to be left out of the reward check.
It also wanted to see what treasures were dropped from this level.
It could rest later.
"Alright, alright..." Shi Yu had no choice but to take Shi Yi with him to check.
A moment later.
Standing by the teleportation array, Shi Yu looked at the five pieces of Ethereal Stones he had picked up from the ground, lost in deep thought.
"Ah, this..."
Should he be happy or disappointed?
No new treasures, just the generic Ethereal Stones for space-related resources.
The third level had one, the fourth level had three, and the fifth level had five...
Now, he had a total of nine Ethereal Stones, enough to share some with the bugs.
Of course, how the Green Silk Worms would digest the stones was a problem. This stuff didn't seem suitable for them. Should he grind it into powder and mix it with water?
"Aro..." Seeing only Ethereal Stones again, Shi Yi lost interest and closed its eyes to sleep.
With its mastery-level absolute sleep and the energy crystals and recovery fruits in Shi Yu's backpack, its physical energy would recover quickly. Given the limited physical energy of an awakened pet, it would likely be fully recovered soon.
Then, it would be time to enter the sixth level.
Meanwhile.
Outside.
As Shi Yu entered the ruins, the statue of the fifth level lit up within minutes, leaving everyone stunned.
"Grass?"
"Didn't they say the fifth level had 100 fierce beasts?"
"What happened? What's going on??"
Many people stared with wide eyes, their minds unable to process what had just happened.
President Feng arrived late, listening silently to the discussions, his heart heavy as he looked at the glowing statue.
You don't understand, that's a mastery-level intimidation!
Under the aura of a king, weaker opponents of the same level are like chickens and dogs!
Now, it was unknown if Shi Yu had entered the sixth level. What would the final level be like???
...
Regarding the sixth level, many people had made guesses.
Some guessed it would be a more powerful leader-type creature, like a high-level leader at level ten.
Some guessed it would be a leader-type creature leading a beast tide, combining the third and fifth levels.
Others guessed it would be a creature with an extraordinary growth level...
Some even said the final level would be guarded by a young king-type creature.
Regardless of which one it was, it would be very difficult for apprentice tamers.
But for Shi Yu, who had entered the sixth level, he could only say, "You're thinking too small."
He and Shi Yi silently looked at the ice dragon formed from countless ice and snow, lost in deep thought. This was too intense.
