Starting with SSS-rank talent, I contracted the Forbidden Ferocity.

Seven days have passed.

The door opened again.

As Shen Ye sat up, the hatch of the treatment pod opened automatically.

Almost simultaneously, urgent ringing sounded outside the Tianfu Treatment Center.

It was not an enemy attack.

It's an alarm from the academy's secret location.

Guixu had already poked its head out of the small psionic pod.

Black silver eyes were fixed on the direction of the back mountain.

"The old gate."

The Heavenly Punishment Eyes on Jie Chen's forehead were half-open.

In the gray-white lightning, an ancient stone gate covered with vines was reflected.

Shen Ye got out of bed.

Just as he put on his outer robe, the door was pushed open.

Dean Tianfu stood at the door, his face grim.

"Don't move."

Shen Ye looked at him.

The dean said:

"The strange occurrence at the Ancient Beast Taming Gate in the back mountain may not necessarily be related to you."

Gui Xu whispered:

"related."

The dean paused for a moment, then looked at Guixu.

Guixu blinked.

"The door is calling it."

It raised its paw and pointed at Shen Ye.

The dean rubbed his temples.

"I knew it."

Qin Wuji peeked out from the next ward.

"Is there a fight going on?"

The dean looked over coldly.

"You stay lying down."

Qin Wuji shrank back.

A moment later, it poked its head out again.

"I've recovered 70%."

The dean said:

"Then lie down and recover the remaining 30%."

Shen Ye had already reached the door.

What is the Ancient Beast Taming Gate in the Back Mountain?

The dean said as he walked:

"Relics that existed before the Tianfu Academy was built."

"Legend has it that it was once connected to a lost civilization of beast tamers."

"That civilization is older than the current human beast-taming system."

"But the door has been silent for many years."

"We've studied it, but we can't open it."

Zhou Xuan, Lu Chenzhou, and Xue Li also rushed over.

Xue Li's expression changed slightly when she heard the words "Lost Beast Taming Civilization".

"Tianyuan would look for this kind of door."

The dean looked at her.

Xue Li said:

"The older the door, the more likely it is to be detected by echoes from the porch."

"Because the doors of old civilizations often lack modern sealing standards."

Zhou Xuan nodded.

Simply put, it's an old door with an worn-out lock.

The dean's face turned even uglier.

The back mountain of Tianfu College.

The Ancient Beast Taming Gate stands deep within a forbidden forest.

The stone gate is ten zhang high.

The door frame is engraved with a large number of ancient animal patterns.

There are birds.

There are beasts.

It has scales.

There are also some alien beast forms that no longer exist.

The door gaps were originally sealed with bronze chains.

At this moment, the chains are trembling slightly.

A low, guttural roar came from inside the gate.

It is not a beast.

It's like an entire ancient herd of beasts turning over in their slumber.

Several veteran instructors from Tianfu Academy were already waiting at the gate.

Upon seeing the dean and Shen Ye approaching, they immediately made way.

"Dean, the spiritual pressure inside the gate is rising."

"The sealing-off formation won't last long."

The dean asked in a deep voice:

"Can it be reinforced again?"

The old instructor shook his head.

"This isn't a door opening from the inside."

"It's more like the door is awakening itself."

Gui Xu leaped off Shen Ye's shoulder and walked to the gate of the Ancient Beast Taming Sect.

It sniffed.

"Beast Gate".

Jie Chen also walked over and touched the bronze chain with his claws.

A thin black line suddenly lit up on the chain.

The calamity dust roared, and the Heavenly Punishment's Eyes shone down.

The black line was forced out.

Xue Li's face turned cold.

"A lingering echo in the porch."

Zhou Xuan frowned.

"Left by the gatekeeper?"

Guixu nodded.

"It smells it here."

The dean's face darkened completely.

"So it wasn't the Ancient Beast Taming Sect that woke up on its own."

"It was the echo from the porch that was trying to use to track us down."

Shen Ye looked at the animal patterns on the door.

"Can we handle this without opening the door?"

Guixu shook his head.

"The thread is inside the door."

Jie Chen also looked up at Shen Ye.

The meaning is obvious.

We need to go in.

The dean immediately said:

"no."

"This is the core secret area of ​​Tianfu."

"The situation behind the door is unknown."

"You just came back from the ruins of Tianmen."

Shen Ye said:

"That's why I'm familiar with it."

The dean was momentarily speechless.

Zhou Xuan sighed.

"Dean, if the echoing sounds in the porch take root inside, the Ancient Beast Taming Sect will eventually be located by the Gatekeeper."

"At that time, the entire Tianfu Academy may be dragged into the corridor."

Of course the dean knew.

He just had a headache.

It's a real headache.

Tianfu Academy detained Shen Ye for seven days to recover from his injuries.

On the seventh day, the back gate exploded.

It's like they're born to be incompatible with taking time off.

After a long silence, the dean finally said:

"I'll go in with you."

Shen Ye shook his head.

"You're at level seven?"

Dean: "..."

He is at the seventh rank.

The spiritual pressure of the Ancient Beast Taming Sect is very unstable.

Entering at level seven is too risky.

The final team was determined.

Shen Ye.

Zhou Xuan.

Lu Chenzhou.

Blood Glass.

In addition, two sixth-level instructors from Tianfu Academy.

Qin Wuji strongly requested to join.

The dean refused.

Qin Wuji said he had recovered.

The hospital director instructed the medical staff to push him back into his ward.

In front of the ancient beast-taming gate.

Zhou Xuan set up the external positioning array.

Guixu stood in front of the door, gently biting the crack in the door.

It's not a broken door.

Instead, the door lock was changed from being "awakened by contamination" to "actively opening one line".

The Heavenly Punishment Gate Lock fell onto the bronze chains, silencing the lingering echo in the porch.

The ancient beast-taming gate slowly opened a crack.

Behind the door, an ancient spiritual aura, so dense it was almost liquefied, rushed out.

There were also roars of beasts.

The dean said in a deep voice:

"Once inside, the first objective is to clear away any lingering noises from the porch."

"Exploration is the second goal."

Shen Ye nodded.

"Know."

He stepped inside.

The world around them suddenly changed in the next moment.

There is no secret cave behind the door.

It is not a large ancient city.

The city walls are towering.

The streets are wide.

Countless enormous arch bridges made of animal bones span the sky.

On the ground, one can still see the weathered tracks of the imperial chariot.

In the distance, in the center of the city, stands a giant beast-taming altar.

On the altar, hundreds of animal statues bowed their heads.

It's as if it's waiting for its owner to return.

Lu Chenzhou said in a low voice:

"This is truly a relic of a civilization."

Xue Li looked up at the sky.

There was no sun in the sky.

There was only one enormous gate with animal-patterned decorations.

The Heavenly Gate should have been closed.

But at this moment, there is a black crack at the edge of the Heavenly Gate.

The echoing sounds from the porch were seeping in from there.

Guixu looked up.

"It's on top."

The dust of the calamity roared.

Heavenly punishment shines upon the Heavenly Gate.

Suddenly, the voice of the gatekeeper came from within the black crack.

It's very light.

It's very far.

It's like being separated by countless doorways.

"The Night King"

"I've found you."

Shen Ye looked up.

"You're so annoying."

The doorman's voice was devoid of emotion.

"The door will bring me here."

"Your path."

"Your beast."

"Your world".

"All will return to their home."

The ground of the ancient city suddenly shook.

On both sides of the street, petrified beast statues opened their eyes.

They are not living things.

These are guardian beast statues left behind by a lost beast-taming civilization.

But now, the echoing sound of the black doorway emanates from the eyes of the beast statue.

Zhou Xuan's expression changed.

"It has defiled the guardian statues!"

Hundreds of animal statues were revived at the same time.

The stone statue of a flying bird spreads its wings.

The giant ape stone statue steps on the ground.

The serpentine stone statues swam up the wall.

The two instructors from Tianfu immediately summoned their beasts to stand in front of Zhou Xuan.

Shen Ye gripped his sword.

"First, clean the animal statues."

Xue Li said urgently:

"Don't destroy it all!"

"These animal statues may be part of the ancient city's defense system."

"If too much is destroyed, the Heavenly Gate will fall."

Shen Ye said:

"Then just cut the black line."

Night Feathers and Black Sun Rise into the Sky.

The candles, nine in nine, are spread out to cleanse the soul.

The Dragon Abyss Fighting King Armor protected the team.

Dust and grime clung to the porch, black lines marking the entrance.

Guixu was responsible for biting off the lingering echoes of the door that had been forced out.

Shen Ye unleashed a sword strike.

The black line in the eye of the first giant ape statue was cut off.

The animal statue paused.

Then, the black light in its eyes dissipated, and it lowered its head again.

A system notification appears.

[Purify the Ancient Guardian Beast Statues 1.]

[Gained faint recognition from the remnants of the lost Beast Taming civilization.]

Shen Ye's eyes flickered.

It's not just about clearing the door.

It can also gain recognition.

He looked toward the beast-taming altar in the center of the city.

At the highest point of the altar, there is an ancient crown with animal patterns.

A wisp of black echo also lingered on the crown.

Guixu whispered:

"that."

"It wants to collect it."

Shen Ye said:

"Then rob it."
