Xiao Bai moved at the front, very fast, with her snake tail swaying casually, propelling her several meters forward.
At this moment, she coiled around a big tree, pointing ahead, eager to go over and take a look.
But in the end, she held back the impulse, waiting for her teacher to catch up.
"Teacher, watch your step."
Xiao Qing's voice sounded beside her, soft and delicate, completely different from her cold image in front of other great demons.
The giant panda, the Siberian tiger, and the black bear demons walking behind were already used to this and leisurely followed the teacher.
An Chen nodded as he walked forward and reminded, "Xiao Bai, don't run around. Stay close to the teacher."
Just a moment ago, after an earthquake occurred in the classroom, An Chen decided to come out and check what caused the tremor.
The students all expressed their desire to come out and take a look as well.
An Chen didn't agree to let all the students come.
After all, the tremor was too strong. If it happened again, it might tear the ground apart, posing great danger.
So An Chen selected five students: Gun Gun, Xiao Qing, Xiao Bai, Xiao Hu, and Da Hei, to come out and investigate. The rest stayed in the classroom.
The reason for choosing Gun Gun, Xiao Hu, and Da Hei was because of their great strength, which might be helpful in critical moments.
Xiao Qing was chosen for her meticulous thinking and agility. If the tremor occurred again, she could quickly lead everyone to escape.
As for Xiao Bai...
An Chen recalled how Xiao Bai clung to his arm earlier, acting coquettishly, and even promised to warm his bed tonight as a reward. He couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
For a clingy, coquettish little sister, An Chen had no choice but to let her tag along.
And so, with Xiao Bai leading the way, An Chen and the other students gradually approached the huge pit.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"
Sensing the approach of foreign creatures, those faces that were neither human nor beast scattered in all directions and disappeared in an instant, hiding who knows where.
Finally, An Chen, following the pungent smell, led the students to the source of the tremor.
"Wow!"
Upon seeing the huge pit before her, Xiao Bai's eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "Teacher, there's a really, really big pit ahead!"
Standing beside An Chen, Xiao Qing was also startled. She hadn't expected such a massive pit to suddenly appear in the forest.
Suddenly, her gaze focused as she noticed a blue cube embedded in the center of the pit and murmured, "What is that?"
Gun Gun, wearing a straw hat and holding a freshly unearthed bamboo shoot, was about to take a bite when Xiao Qing's voice caught his attention.
Reluctantly, he put away the bamboo shoot, squeezed his head between the teacher and Xiao Qing, and widened his black-and-white eyes to carefully examine the cube.
Amazingly, his eyes began to emit divine light, weaving together in midair, forming a mysterious Taiji diagram!
Even more astonishing, the Taiji diagram made of divine light flew directly above the pit, radiating an invincible aura, ready to descend and crush everything unknown!
No one noticed that the gray faces, previously hidden, were trembling uncontrollably under this invisible pressure.
It was as if they were facing an apocalyptic disaster; they didn't even dare to move, fearing that the owner of the pressure would discover and completely annihilate them!
The Siberian tiger also stretched its head from the teacher's right side, widening its tiger eyes as it gazed at the cube in the pit, showing a look of confusion.
Clearly, it also had no idea what that small object was.
The black bear, towering close to two meters, didn't need to stretch its head to see... well, to see half a meter in front of it.
Any further, and everything became blurry, just like being nearsighted.
So the black bear gave up struggling, yawned, turned to look at the tiger beside him, and his gaze unconsciously fell on the tiger's backside, revealing a nostalgic look.
The Siberian tiger could clearly feel a gaze on its backside, and its hind legs immediately tensed. Reflexively, it leaped toward the pit.
As it ran, it shouted, "Teacher, there's something in the pit! I'll go get it for you."
A big pit?
Hearing Xiao Bai's explanation, An Chen nodded thoughtfully. It seemed this pit was the cause of the earlier tremor.
Upon hearing what Xiao Hu said, An Chen quickly reminded, "Xiao Hu, be careful."
The Siberian tiger smiled at his teacher's concern, and it seemed like a "ding" sound accompanied a gleaming cross-shaped light.
Then it patted its chest with a fearless demeanor, as if to say, "I'm not afraid of anything," and ran straight toward the blue cube.
At the same time, Xiao Qing, sensing the overwhelming pressure released by Gun Gun, knew that he was guarding against some unknown danger. She also sent out a wisp of divine consciousness to support the light diagram, protecting Xiao Hu.
As Xiao Hu reached the center of the pit, he naturally felt the presence of the light diagram and divine consciousness, which made him feel exponentially safer.
Without hesitation, he extended a paw, grabbed the blue cube, and with a shout of "lift," he picked it up.
"That was so easy?"
Xiao Hu had thought the cube would be heavy.
After all, it fell from the sky and created such a large pit.
But to his surprise, it was incredibly light, like holding a stone.
Puzzled, he returned to the teacher, respectfully presenting the cube.
"Teacher, this is the object that fell from the sky. I'm too dull to understand its secrets."
At that moment, Gun Gun, Xiao Qing, Xiao Bai, and the black bear all turned their heads, staring curiously at the blue cube in Xiao Hu's hand, equally intrigued and eager to find out what this foreign object was.
Fell from the sky?
Could it be a satellite?
An Chen pondered, reaching out to touch the object in Xiao Hu's palm, quickly making contact with the mysterious thing.
But before he could fully understand what it was, a voice echoed in his mind.
For the first time, An Chen's face showed a hint of surprise.
"Ding! The master has come into contact with Alien Race's Secret Inheritance No. 001. The countdown to the recovery of spiritual energy begins."
"Time remaining for the master to fully receive the 'Divine Fire': 364 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 55 seconds."
"Students' courses and life skills, once verified at full proficiency, can awaken their bloodline talents and receive the corresponding clan's imprint inheritance."
"Each time a student awakens a talent, the master can use the Talent Copy Card to gain the corresponding ability."
"Currently detected: three students can awaken talents. Would you like to activate the awakening now?"
"Yes → ← No."
