It is approaching midnight, the moon is getting brighter and brighter, and the temperature is getting lower and lower.
The cold wind crossed the empty lake, blew through the sparse woods, and swirled around the group of young wizards by the lake.
Zheng Qing couldn't help but shudder again.
"That's weird," he looked around doubtfully, "Although it's early autumn, there's no reason for the temperature to drop so fast... I remember that the sun at noon was still making people feel numb all over."
"Because what we feel is not the temperature, but the yin energy." Lin Guo squeezed beside him and whispered: "The moonlight is at its strongest around the 15th of each month, and the yin energy is also the heaviest. The wizard has an unusual sense of the yin and yang energy.
Sensitive, often synaesthete to the outside temperature."
"Yin Qi." Zheng Qing bared his teeth and couldn't help but look into the distance.
In his impression, Yin Qi is always associated with negative images such as ghosts and ghosts. But now that the night is dark and windy, Yin Qi is overflowing, which will inevitably make people have wild thoughts.
The surface of Linzhong Lake is unusually quiet. Although there may occasionally be a few suspicious ripples, they will dissipate quickly.
The songbirds that were singing vigorously in the grass also began to slack off a little, and their voices gradually became weak.
"I knew I should have drawn two talismans to dispel yin and ward off evil spirits," Zheng Qing muttered, wrapping his robe tighter.
"I have extra jade talismans here that I can lend to you." Lin Guo dug around in his arms for a while, took out a green-white jade talisman, and stuffed it into Zheng Qing's hand.
This is a rectangular jade talisman, with a goat crawling under Ganoderma lucidum carved on the front, and the word 'talisman' carved with magic patterns on the back. The head and tail of the card are decorated with Ruyi cloud heads, and the four corners are polished meticulously and smoothly, making it feel delicate to the touch.
Gentle.
As soon as he took it, a gentle flow of air flowed in from the palm of his hand and spread all over his body in an instant, making people immediately forget about the surging Yin Qi all around.
"Are you okay?" Zheng Qing felt extremely blushing and asked in a muffled voice.
Originally, his friends asked him to go on night patrol with Lin Guo because he was older and could take care of the underage wizard.
Little did he know that he had already been taken care of by Lin Guo several times before he showed any sense of responsibility as an adult.
"Absolutely!" Lin Guo raised his thin arms and tried to bulge his biceps, with a bright smile on his face.
Under the moonlight, Zheng Qing took a serious look at Lin Guo's clothes for the first time tonight.
It can be seen that this genius boy from Alpha Academy has made full preparations for tonight's patrol mission.
There was a bright silver collar hanging around his neck, with dense runes etched on it. Under the moonlight, you could clearly see several rays of light flowing continuously on the collar.
His wrists are also tied with slender colorful silk threads, with many green jade ornaments woven into them. He wears jade mingluans in every gesture, which looks much more advanced than Zheng Qing's colorful peach charms.
Even Lin Guo's cheeks were covered with mysterious symbols in light golden oil paint, which dimly reflected the moonlight in the moonlight, but it was unclear whether they were used to ward off evil spirits or to calm the mind.
Zheng Qing swallowed quietly and stuffed his slightly shabby black donkey's hoof deeper into his arms.
"You seem to be very well prepared." He finally spoke in admiration.
Lin Guo suppressed his smile, a worried expression appeared on his face.
"Maybe." He hesitated for a moment, then suddenly thrust the heavy notebook into Zheng Qing's hand, and said eagerly: "Please help me see if there is anything else I need to prepare... I have prepared all the things listed above.
, but I always feel that there are still some deviations.”
Zheng Qing squinted his eyes and carefully read the notes in his hand under the light of the infuriating wind lamp above his head.
After reading only the first few words, he couldn't help but raise his head and re-examine the little boy in front of him.
"Why?" Lin Guo looked at him uneasily and complained: "Is there anything missing... I always feel that I am not fully prepared..."
"No, no," Zheng Qing waved his hands repeatedly, remained silent for a moment, and considered, "I just didn't expect... that you would really prepare these things."
As he spoke, he turned his gaze back to the notes in his hand.
On the header at the top of the page, there is a line of black bold words:
What you need to know about dragon hunting.
The following content is marked according to different contents in slender italics and neat Song fonts.
From the current classification of dragons in the wizarding world, to the unique dragon species in different regions, to the preferences and preferences of these dragon beasts, everything has been carefully summarized in this notebook.
For example, behind the Red Qiu in Changbai Mountain, it is marked in italics: "The horned Yanlong is red in color, so it is called the 'Red Qiu'". "It is common in the Tianchi area of Changbai Mountain. It likes to lie on the light yellow pumice on the top of the mountain, facing the sun."
"Mian", and finally added a note in neat Song fonts: "This Qiu has a gentle personality, pure blood, horns, and high economic value; but the sky is high and the sky is high, and it is within the boundary of Kyushu, so it is not easy to hunt. According to: Three Stars."
"
"Are you really planning to hunt a dragon tonight?" Zheng Qing quickly flipped through the thick notebook and praised repeatedly: "It's so detailed... You should give this notebook to Shushan Pavilion, maybe they will directly
I’ll give you the dragon body materials you need.”
"Really!" Lin Guo exclaimed in surprise, looking very moved: "This matter indeed took me a lot of time. When I was ten years old, I started collecting information when I knew that I could enter the First University.
.”
"What does this three-star mean?" Zheng Qing asked curiously, pointing to the mark at the end of the note.
"It represents the difficulty of hunting." Lin Guo answered very simply: "I have listed all the dragon species that are allowed to be hunted in the wizarding world, and made a model based on the known data, based on the length of their fangs and the sharpness of their claws.
The degree, the corrosiveness of the saliva, the purity of the blood, as well as whether it lives in groups, whether it maintains servants, whether it travels at night or during the day, etc. were analyzed and calculated."
"The most difficult dragon species to hunt are recorded as five-stars, such as the Tanggula Ice Chi. They are social creatures and possess powerful innate magic. Most of their groups also like to raise iceberg snow wolves as servants to hunt for them. It is very
Difficult."
"Like the rice barn cute dragon, it is recorded as one star. Although this little dragon is only a few feet long and has sharp teeth and claws, it likes to hide in farmers' rice barns and steal rice for a living. If it hadn't grown a
Those beautiful big eyes must have been hunted down by those violent wizards eight hundred years ago."
The boy stood under the moonlight and talked eloquently, which convinced Zheng Qing.
"So, do you know what kind of dragon is in the school?" He finally asked the most crucial question: "How do you plan to hunt this dragon in the school?"
"I don't know!" Unexpectedly, Lin Guo answered very simply: "Although there are many stories about dragons circulating on campus, according to my analysis, most of them are fictional... Some of them may be true, but the information is incomplete.
There is no way to accurately determine which dragon species it belongs to."
"Then how do you plan to hunt?"
"Booby!" Lin Guo took off the schoolbag he was carrying, felt inside, took out a piece of brown paper and handed it to Zheng Qing: "This is Shaoyan, no matter what kind of dragon likes it... use it to make
The bait couldn't be more suitable."
Zheng Qing took the package and squeezed it carefully.
The stuff inside the kraft paper was very soft, and even through the thick paper, Zheng Qing seemed to smell a strange aroma.
"What a smart little fool." The old man Verne stood behind the two of them at some point and made such a comment with a smile.
