"Now that you know the hunting ground, what should you do next?"
Deng Xiaojian glanced around with questioning eyes.
Zheng Qing hesitated and replied: "...can we start hunting?"
"A useless answer." Deng Xiaojian shook his head: "From the first moment you enter the hunting ground, you are in a hunting state... hunting does not only count as binding demons with magic or suppressing demons with talismans."
"All the preparations you do in the early stages are part of the hunt."
This sentence seems extremely reasonable.
Zheng Qing twitched the corner of his mouth but did not refute.
"It's time to send out hunters," Zhang Jixin arranged with great confidence: "Hunters need to go deep into the hunting grounds as soon as possible to provide accurate information for the hunting team's next decision... In addition, hunters must also start to delineate their own cruising range and prevent
Those spying eyes around the hunting party."
"East? South? West? North? Northeast? Southwest? The hunting ground is so big, where do hunters start searching? What is the key direction?" Deng Xiaojian immediately raised the next question.
The chief hunter of the forgiveness frowned, thought for a moment, and then slowly answered: "Then, before sending out the hunters... maybe I should burn a piece of tortoise shell?"
Burning a piece of tortoise shell means asking fortune tellers to make some simple predictions.
This is wizard slang.
In ancient times, wizards burned the plastron of white tortoises or the shoulder blades of bison, and then judged bad luck based on the omen patterns cracked on the back of the bones.
This was one of the first divination methods mastered by wizards, so burning oracle bones gradually became synonymous with divination.
"Oracle bones can be burned, crystal balls can be read, and tarot cards can also be read, but you need to use the correct spell." As he spoke, Deng Xiaojian moved his fingers in the void, leaving a colorful spell: "Everything is clear."
"This is a spell used to discern evil spirits."
"On modern hunting grounds, most hunting teams like to use the concept of 'demon energy' to distinguish the difference between demons and ordinary spiritual beasts - those with chaotic aura, violent, violent and violent auras are demonic auras - it is easy to distinguish."
"There are strong and weak demons, and naturally there are upper and lower levels of demonic energy."
"The weak ones, such as the 'softball demon', have no mouth, nose, eyes or limbs, and are round and no different from a softball. They can only bounce and hit wizards, and survive by picking up a little wizard's breath... They belong to the lowest level of monsters.
, so their demonic energy is defined as 'Strength 1'."
"Slightly stronger ones, such as those wild monsters generated by polluting tigers, leopards, jackals, eagles, falcons and other large animals, not only inherit the beast's keen intuition and skilled hunting skills, but also strengthen the ferocity, violence and danger of the monster.
Very high... Because the foundations of these creatures vary widely, their demonic aura often fluctuates between 'Strength 2' and 'Strength 9'."
"In addition, there is the Wild Demon King whose demonic energy is 'strength 10'... Any group of demons, their leader, and the wild demon king's demonic aura can basically reach the level of 'strength 10', which is infinitely close to the 'real demon'"
'Level - what we usually call 'registered wizard' level demons are very dangerous, but the points they bring are also very considerable."
"As for demons whose demonic energy is 'strength 10+' or above, it is impossible to encounter them in the freshman competition, so you don't need to pay attention to this part for the time being."
Deng Xiaojian spoke very fast when explaining.
Zheng Qing had also given up on manually recording every word he said. He had already taken out the shorthand quill he bought at Green's Grocery Store some time ago from the gray cloth bag, threw it on the notebook, and made it froth.
In the distance, one after another howls came from the depths of the hunting ground, as if the hunters were saying hello in some kind of argot.
After Deng Xiaojian heard this, he frowned, took out his timer and looked at the time.
"Well, our hunting team is about to conduct the next step of training..." He put away the timer and took a deep breath: "Then let me emphasize to you some of the precautions mentioned before..."
"First of all, on the hunting ground, you must always pay attention to temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, and most importantly, time. These variables will continue to affect your performance and the momentum of the monsters, so don't ignore any detail."
"You must remember that on the hunting ground, details determine success or failure."
"Secondly, I have mentioned before that you should pay attention to the environment when using spells on the hunting ground. You can expand on this point."
"For example, 'The sun rises and the valley breeze blows', in addition to being a comprehensive gain-type magic, it can also provide side effects such as helping you dry your clothes, lighting up at night, etc. But this spell must not be used in rainy weather, especially in rainy weather.
It is used in rainy weather at night... It does not mean that it will fail in this environment, but if you use this spell in rainy weather, it will consume more magic power, but the effect will be greatly reduced, and it is easy to punish the spell.
Backlash."
"It should be noted that on the hunting ground, any trace of magic power is a very important strategic resource and must not be wasted casually."
"The last thing is about hunting animals, or hunting birds."
"Many hunting teams will have one or more hunting animals to help hunters search for prey, guard the surroundings, and assist in hunting. These hunting animals are usually animal companions raised by wizards and need to be trained...in the form of canines, cats, and falcons.
The other varieties are the best.”
"If your hunting team has a suitable animal, you can bring it with you the next time you come. The ruling has a professional trainer who can do some simple training for it, which is enough for you to use in the freshman competition."
"I believe that there is absolutely no one else in the new hunting team except you." Deng Xiaojian showed a confident smile on his face: "This will definitely help you gain a huge advantage on the hunting ground."
Zheng Qing hissed and immediately turned back to look at his team members.
"I don't have any animal companions." Dylan immediately raised his hand and said jokingly: "Most animals don't like the smell of me... and it's hard for me to be friendly enough to them on a full moon night, so...
…”
As he spoke, he shrugged, expressing his helplessness.
Zheng Qing turned to look at the other person.
"Neither have I." Fatty Xin shook his fat palms and said in a somewhat frustrated tone: "My family is always worried that I stew my animal companions for meat, so they have always opposed me raising them... But what do you think of Tuantuan?"
?It has a good relationship with us."
Zheng Qing suddenly shook his head when he thought of the orange cat in the dormitory who was always eating and drinking, had a bad temper, and was very lazy.
"Impossible, impossible, it definitely doesn't have the perseverance to hunt animals." While denying this suggestion, the young public-funded student turned to look at Xiao Xiao.
Before he could speak, Dr. Xiao Da raised his eyebrows: "Why, you still want to use an old turtle as a hunting beast? Can it crawl? I think the divination effect might be more prominent if you peel it off its shell."
There is indeed nothing wrong with this statement.
