Light Spring Murmur
Chapter 187: Ancient Overlord, Tyrannosaurus Rex
A Ginseng Baby, carrying a small schoolbag, walked towards the course classroom of the Beast Taming Department like an elementary school student.
Inside the classroom, a white-haired Beast Taming Master pointed in confusion at the top-tier spiritual herb Ginseng Baby in the back row.
So, this is a student, not teaching material?
How did it swipe its card to get in!
"Let it attend." By the window, an elegant white cat licked its paw and telepathically communicated with the instructor.
Attending class will allow it to grow better fruits!
Nutrition, not bad.
"This is insane."
And the students, looking at the Ginseng Baby holding notebooks and pens, with an even more serious expression than them, sitting in the back, completely lost their ability to think.
It wasn't unheard of for pets to attend classes, but most of them were mechanical pets, used to assist in research, record data, take photos, and act as computers, cell phones, and instruments. However, a Ginseng Baby, coming to attend class on its own, as a student, not as an experimental material, was definitely the first time in history.
...
Wang Ling: [Holy crap, Ginseng Baby is attending class.]
Classmates: [?]
Weren't you just paying attention to the Tyrannosaurus Rex?
Wang Ling: [Is it your Ginseng Baby? Is it? Is it? I heard it looks a lot like yours. What's going on? @Shi Yu]
Shi Yu's Ginseng Baby was also considered a minor celebrity supplement, after all, it passed the Battle Club assessment with such violent means.
It hasn't even been a few days, and everyone still remembers it vividly. Some people who watched the battle quickly realized that the two Ginseng Babies looked super similar, both so arrogant, without any awareness of being supplements.
Shi Yu: [Seems like it.]
Classmates: [Damn, it really is yours.]
They had only heard of free-range pets, letting pets inhabit and fight in various locations on their own. They had never heard of free-range pets going to class with Beast Tamers to learn.
Even if there were, it definitely wouldn't be a Ginseng Baby.
Even if it were a Ginseng Baby, a Beast Tamer would definitely accompany it. Letting it go on its own? Is that appropriate?
Wang Ling: [You're acting strange. I just looked at the forum and heard that yesterday, an Iron-Eating Beast claimed to be a Beast Tamer and spent an afternoon in the gravity room with three little Iron-Eating Beasts. Where did so many Iron-Eating Beasts come from at Ancient Capital University? It's not yours, is it???]
Since the evolved form of the Iron-Eating Beast was announced, the students also knew that there was an Iron-Eating Beast Research Institute at Ancient Capital University, and that it housed several Iron-Eating Beasts. And the person in charge of this research institute is Shi Yu.
Shi Yu: [Shi Yu: Seems like it.]
Wang Ling: [When you copy and paste, don't copy your ID as well!]
Shi Yu: [Going to study, see ya.]
Shi Yu closed his phone. If the pets are working so hard, he should work hard too.
Meditate today.
Strive to upgrade the Beast Taming Space to level 4 as soon as possible, so that he can usher in a new physical breakthrough.
At that time, contracting, controlling, and possessing Little Chi Tong will all be ok.
Shi Yu chose today's task. A moment later, Eleven and the others also got up. Of course, Worm would definitely still be sleeping, absorbing evolution materials.
Although it's only been a few days, because it has Absolute Sleep, the speed of absorbing evolutionary power is still very fast.
Even if the level of the evolution materials is very high, if nothing unexpected happens, it should be able to complete the evolution within this month.
"Ying!" After tidying up, Eleven said hello to Shi Yu and went out with the training card.
The gravity room hasn't been conquered yet, so it has to work hard today.
As for the Little Sword Spirit, Shi Yu's mission for it was to play. In order to cater to its past life, Shi Yu found some ancient war movies and TV series and let Little Chi Tong lie on a pile of ice to watch.
Well, these are what he and Eleven and Worm have watched. Except for the fact that there are a bit too many deaths of people and pets, the scale is fine. Children can watch it; it's considered introductory education.
"This is the correct way to be a Beast Tamer!"
After realizing that none of the pets were around and they had all gone to work hard on their own, Shi Yu sighed and continued to meditate.
Without the pets disturbing him, and with the incense sachet left by the Ginseng Baby that can calm the mind, Shi Yu's meditation efficiency is now very high. It's also very easy to immerse himself in it, and he rarely interrupts his meditation due to distraction like before.
...
The next day.
The archaeology freshmen who had returned from military training were finally about to usher in their first class.
Shi Yu was in particularly good spirits today because he had meditated all day yesterday.
After first going to the cafeteria for a cup of nutritious soy milk and a meat bun, he walked towards the classroom contentedly.
"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap."
When Shi Yu arrived, the classroom was filled with exclamations of "holy crap."
The reason why these students were so excited at this moment was because of the inside information Wang Ling revealed yesterday: Tyrannosaurus Rex fossil!
The moment Shi Yu entered the classroom, he saw a giant fossil skeleton about 15 meters long displayed in the classroom!
Although it had already become a fossil, the skeleton still exuded a faint sense of intimidation, proclaiming its former status as the overlord of the earth.
"Holy crap, Shi Yu's here." As Shi Yu came in, someone suddenly shouted.
"Are you sick." Shi Yu was speechless. Why are you all saying "holy crap" all day long, and why does he get the same treatment as the Tyrannosaurus Rex, being greeted with "holy crap"?
At this time, it was the fourth time the students looked at Shi Yu with strange eyes.
The first time was at the beginning of the school year, when everyone was amazed by Shi Yu's battle record in the professional assessment. The second time was when they went to the ruins, when everyone was amazed by Shi Yu's battle record in the Battle Club assessment. The third time... was when they came back, because of the commotion Shi Yu caused in the Heroic Spirit Ruins... This time, it was because of the Iron-Eating Beast Beast Tamer legend and the Ginseng University legend circulating in Ancient Capital University.
So this is how pets are trained?
Letting pets swipe their cards to open rooms for training, letting pets learn beast-feeding knowledge on their own, wonderful.
It directly makes up for the Beast Tamer's lack of energy. It allows the Beast Tamer to take time to meditate and allows the Beast Tamer to have time to exercise. Learned it, learned it. I'll arrange the pets like this someday!
"Student Shi Yu, good morning." On the podium, an old man with white hair smiled slightly when he saw Shi Yu.
"I am your fossil class teacher."
"Hello, Professor Zhao." Shi Yu knew this person. He had learned about the instructors and professors of various courses in the Archaeology Department in advance.
This person is one of the masters in the field of fossil research. Although he can't compare to Grandma Li of Bureau Eleven, he is also a very senior figure. There's no other way, those people in Bureau Eleven are too OP.
Fake archaeologist: Carefully learn historical knowledge, accumulate background, conduct careful inspections in the ruins, and use modern technology for detailed research.
Real archaeologist: Directly watch history as a documentary, converse with the past and present, and listen to secrets.
"Hello." Professor Zhao smiled. He wasn't familiar with the names of the other students in the class yet, but he was very clear about the name of Shi Yu, a rising star in the field of archaeology.
"Go sit down." The professor said.
"Okay."
Next, Shi Yu found a seat at random and sat down. The other students also entered the classroom one after another, and, unsurprisingly, they were all shocked by the huge fossil.
While Shi Yu was also observing this fossil, the class bell rang after a moment.
Professor Zhao stood in front of the fossil and first introduced himself to the students present with a smile, and then said, "Originally, the first class was planned to explain the history of the course and the teaching syllabus for this semester, and it wasn't time to come into contact with real fossils yet."
"You are very lucky to have caught up with a special situation."
Below the stage, many students' eyes flickered. As expected, Ancient Capital University is the strongest in the Archaeology Department. Awesome. The first class showed the freshmen such a complete fossil of an ancient overlord. Which school can do that?
This fossil... can't be obtained for less than tens of billions, right? Many students speculated.
"As you can see, this is a fossil of a Tyrannosaurus Rex."
"The Tyrannosaurus Rex was an ancient creature that lived more than 60 million years ago. According to current research, they belong to the Earth element and are the ultimate product of the sub-dragon species. Their race level is as high as middle-level overlord, and the population is huge. They were the undisputed overlords of that era."
"They possess the powerful bodies shared by Dragon-type pets, are immensely powerful, and master many powerful skills such as Brute Force, Desolate Body, Earth Domain, and Overlord Aura."
"In this class, I will first use this fossil to explain in detail how fossil research can help humans understand the history and ecological environment of pets and Blue Planet."
"But before that, let me ask a small question. Does anyone know how we determine the historical age of biological fossils and even some antiques?"
This question was relatively simple, and everyone present could say one or two methods.
"Elemental particle dating technology."
"Time ray dating technology!"
Among them, most of them use technological machines, but there are also some special techniques.
"Meditation detection method!" Class monitor Wang Ling said.
"Not bad!" After many students spoke, Professor Zhao nodded and said, "Most of the methods for detecting age were various archaeological techniques developed after the creation of the Mechanical Department."
"Before that, the most common method for ancient people to conduct archaeology and determine the age of antiques was the meditation detection method. This is a special meditation method researched by Emperor Shi, which can capture traces of time on antiques in a meditative state and judge the approximate age of the antiques from the number."
"However, this method, except for Beast Tamers with time-based talents, will inevitably produce certain errors when used by others, and the accuracy is not as good as modern technological archaeological techniques."
"But in some specific situations, we can only rely on the meditation detection method. Therefore, this is also a basic skill that you will master in the next four years. Next, before the formal class, let's play a small game. I will guide you into this special meditative state, and you will each judge how many years this Tyrannosaurus Rex fossil can be specific to."
Professor Zhao smiled slightly and said, "Now, according to your student numbers, come here to collect meditation stones. These meditation stones can help you enter a special meditative state before you can independently use the meditation detection method."
Most of the students present were very interested.
Shi Yu also followed and received a black meditation stone the size of a pebble.
Although he had learned about this technique from various channels before, he had not officially used it yet, and was waiting for the school to teach it.
Soon, everyone received the meditation stones and entered a meditative state according to Professor Zhao's requirements.
After a moment, the eyes of all the students who entered the meditative state turned infinitely dark. Under the guidance of the meditation stones, it was very different from the usual meditative state of strengthening the Beast Taming Space.
However, although the eyes were dark, it was not that there was nothing at all. Everyone was surprised to find at this moment that in the darkness, they could still capture the shape of the Tyrannosaurus Rex fossil in the position corresponding to reality!
However, it was a bit different from what they had seen before. At this time, the Tyrannosaurus Rex bones were covered with traces of time smaller than sesame seeds, wrapping around the entire fossil!
"An item that has existed for more than a hundred years will have corresponding traces of time. By counting the number of traces of time, you can judge the age of the item. Meditate carefully, observe carefully, and judge carefully."
"Afterwards, I will tell you the specific age of the fossil to see whose judgment error is the smallest."
Professor Zhao chuckled outside. This was not supposed to be taught in this class, but it was a common skill, and it didn't matter if the students understood it in advance.
"How the hell are we supposed to count this?" In the meditative state, although the students could adjust the perspective, zoom in on the perspective, and deeply immerse themselves in the traces of time, the dense and small traces of time completely made everyone's scalps tingle. This requires too much mental strength. If the mental strength is not up to par, you can't capture the traces of time at all, and then count them clearly.
"Damn, I have trypophobia. I'm not suitable for archaeology..."
The students had a headache.
Of course, there were also some talented guys, such as Shi Yu, who had begun to try to detect it because his mental strength was strong enough.
Physique is the foundation of a person. People with good physiques have mental strength and soul strength that are not weak. What's more, Shi Yu has taught his pets so many mental-based skills. The feedback from the pets' advancement has also made his mental strength far surpass other Beast Tamers of the same level.
"Interesting." Soon, Shi Yu immersed himself in it.
However, before he could be excited for long, an abnormality occurred.
Shi Yu's brain buzzed, and he only heard a "ji" sound. Light gradually appeared in the darkness in front of his eyes.
When Shi Yu opened his eyes, he was shocked to find that the Tyrannosaurus Rex, which had been covered with traces of time, now had its true appearance.
Moreover, not only that, but the surrounding environment also changed rapidly, turning into a plant area that Shi Yu was completely unfamiliar with.
"Roar!!!!!" At this time, the Tyrannosaurus Rex stretched out its head and stared at Shi Yu with ferocious eyes. It opened its bloody mouth and roared. The fiery and fishy wind instantly made Shi Yu's scalp tingle.
Boom!!
The Tyrannosaurus Rex swung its tail, and Shi Yu's eyes exploded. He felt a powerful pressure. He wanted to phase and subconsciously turned his head, but he failed directly. He was directly hit by the tail, but when he turned his head, Shi Yu saw... the Green Silkworm Cocoon on his shoulder, looking equally frightened...
Bang!
Like a nightmare, Shi Yu was instantly killed by the Tyrannosaurus Rex, and then suddenly woke up in the outside classroom, interrupted his meditative state, and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Just now..." Sitting in his seat, Shi Yu breathed rapidly. Just now, what was that!!!
Listening to history?
No, definitely not.
It was different from any previous feeling of listening to the sound of history. Moreover, at that time, Shi Yu had a very special feeling. He didn't feel like an observer, but he personally stood in front of the Tyrannosaurus Rex. It felt even more real than the time he was discovered by Emperor Shi. It wasn't right to say it was real. Shi Yu felt more like he had woken up from a nightmare.
"Worm?" Shi Yu suddenly sensed that Worm had woken up in the Beast Taming Space.
At this time, Worm was also very dazed, because just now, it had seen the same thing as Shi Yu.
"What did you do just now?" Shi Yu calmed down and asked.
If he wasn't mistaken, Worm was also there just now, which indirectly showed that it was definitely not a listening to history talent...
Worm was innocent. It didn't do anything. It just woke up suddenly and tried to use its telekinesis to sense the outside situation. Then, it was like that.
"Ji..." Although it didn't know what happened, Worm said timidly with telepathy.
The feeling it had just now was as if it had accidentally broken into "someone else's" dream.
Moreover, the owner of this dream was not a normal life form...
Outside, hearing this sentence, Shi Yu looked up again at the Tyrannosaurus Rex fossil that had been dead for 60 million years and fell into deep thought.
Unbelievable! Don't tell him that he and Worm had just broken into the dream of a fossil...
