Although the report from the Blue Bird was received, the Exoneration Hunting Team's attack did not go smoothly.
When the five young wizards left the camp one by one and crossed the fence, a dead crow hanging on the camp gate happened to fall in the middle of the group and hit classmate Li Meng at the feet.
This time, the little witch didn't scream. Instead, she quickly knelt down, picked up the dead crow's claws, and showed off in front of Zheng Qing.
"What did I say?"
There was no trace of fear on her face, and she looked triumphant: "A bad omen! A bad omen! Black dogs walk on the streets, dead crows fall to the ground, owls snicker, and ancestor tablets fall down... Is there anything worse than these phenomena?
Bad sign?"
Zheng Qing stared at the rotten and skinny dead crow, feeling a little gloomy in his heart. In fact, the little witch didn't need to say anything, the atmosphere in the entire hunting team had already become a bit bad.
"Li Meng, drop it!"
Jiang Yu warned in a dangerous tone. Although modern wizards don't pay much attention to the concept of 'bad luck' from classical mystical school wizards, they will always be affected to a certain extent.
Not getting dirty is one of them.
And dead crows, without a doubt, belong to the category of dirty things.
Hearing her cousin's scolding, the little witch curled her lips, threw the dead crow onto the camp gate again. Immediately, Jiang Yu tore open an evil-proofing talisman and wiped it with Li Meng with a ball of light blue flames.
Wipe your hands.
"One or two dead crows don't mean anything."
Zheng Qing tried to cheer up his companions, but even he couldn't convince himself with his nonsense: "It was just blown down by a gust of wind. As the saying goes, the wind blows and the flags move, it's not the wind, it's not the flags, it's actually the heartbeat.
…When the mind is stable, external evils will be eliminated.”
"But the dead crow means that this place is probably beyond the jurisdiction of the Wizarding Code."
Xiao Xiao adjusted his glasses and looked back at his captain: "Although I don't think a dead crow falling to the ground really means anything... I prefer to believe in my own crystal ball. Let's go and see what we can do outside.
Did you encounter something new?"
After saying that, he raised his arm and made a gesture.
The five teammates cheered up, stood in their respective positions, and followed the fortune teller's instructions with low and high chants, and started the simple hunting formation together.
Buzz!
A vibrating light red magic halo filled the air accompanied by melodious lowing, and the whole hunting team was enveloped in a moment. There were five young hunters, Doctor Xin and Dr. Xin in front, Jiang Yu and Zheng Qing in the back, Li Meng in the middle,
They lined up in a row, shrouded in a light red halo, like a mutated earth dragon, controlling the slightly turbulent force field around them, and slid forward briskly under the guidance of the blue bird.
Eyjafala is not far from the trialists' camp.
The Forgiveness hunting team launched their hunting array with all their strength, and in less than half an hour, they arrived at the edge of the unfamiliar yet familiar foothills and saw the red-faced wizard waiting there.
At that time, Zhang Jixin was crawling behind a hill, hiding in the first layer of Oster's protective barrier, carefully watching the chaotic ogre camp in the distance.
"Is this thing useful?" After Zheng Qing got into the barrier, he looked up and down with some worry.
He was deeply impressed by this magic.
The first time he came into contact with the wizarding world, when he followed Thomas to Damingfang to buy school supplies, he had seen the 'Oster's Guardian'. At that time, the pig demon bumped into him with red eyes from 800 meters away. , so that since then, Zheng Qing once lacked confidence in similar non-standard magic.
"Don't worry, I've been keeping an eye on them all morning. If they could discover Oster's protection, they wouldn't let me stay here for so long."
Zhang Jixin replied confidently.
Ogres have always been known for their recklessness and brainlessness. They are as sensitive as guard dogs to abnormal smells within their territory. If they have the slightest suspicion, they will smash around with big bone sticks and stones.
"Do we need to change the guard?" Xiao Xiao asked while holding the crystal ball and squatting next to Zhang Jixin.
"not needed for now."
The red-faced wizard turned around and greeted his companions who filed in. At a glance, he saw classmate Li Meng standing listlessly in the middle of the team.
"Did you sleep well last night?"
He frowned, said something similar to Zheng Qing, and then took out a green-black fruit and handed it over: "My brother said that the most important part of any plan is to have a good sleep the night before executing the plan. I think it makes sense... Hey, this is mustard fruit, it has a great refreshing effect."
When she heard the word mustard, the little witch's face suddenly wrinkled.
"I'm sober!"
She answered angrily, and patted the Dharma book hanging at her waist. The cover of the Dharma book had a magic halo more than an inch high, as if it was a footnote to Li Meng's defense.
Zheng Qing noticed Zhang Jixin's open palms - or to be more precise, he noticed that the gloves Zhang Jixin was wearing today were different from usual ones and looked a little shabby.
"Did you change into a pair of gloves?" the captain of the Exoneration Hunting Team asked curiously.
"Oh, this."
Seeing that the little witch didn't appreciate it, Zhang Jixin shrugged, turned his hand to put away the mustard fruit, and then waved the pair of gloves in his hand at Zheng Qing: "...the previous pair was a birthday gift from my brother, made of fire dragon skin. , just that piece of leather can be sold for five or six jade coins in Jinlingfang, not to mention the magic words engraved on it."
"so?"
"So who would be willing to use such a good leather to hit an ogre!" The head hunter of the Exoneration Hunting Team said matter-of-factly: "It's smelly, ugly, and just a waste of things... No matter it's a piece of food with one head or two heads. Human demon."
"Then what kind of skin do you have now? You look a bit gloomy."
"Ordinary yellow leather, the boxing gloves I used to use in training... You feel gloomy, just because you have used them for a long time, and they have some dead energy on them."
"Anyway, for a cow, it is an honor to be able to hit the ogre."
Fatty Xin took out another string of fried spiders at some point, chewed them with relish, and commented: "Merlin, the cow that contributed these skins must be lying in a corner of the world, pointing at the blood on its body with its hoof.
The dripping bones and flesh loudly exclaimed the value of the cow’s life.”
"If I were a cow, I would definitely not have such a high level of consciousness." Li Meng crossed her arms, bit her fingers, and shook her head thoughtfully.
Perhaps because of the relaxed chatting atmosphere around her, she no longer felt sleepy in the morning and regained some of her energy.
"You are a wizard, not a cow."
Jiang Yu raised her hand and gave her a slap in the face: "Don't bite your fingers...and don't freeze in place. Take out your quill and help me calculate the position of the guardian array. We need to build a stable base before attacking.
