On the morning when the winter hunt started, the school's climate management department was merciful and did not fall with heavy snow. However, in order to add a little more fun to the challenge, there was still a little snow in the sky.
This light snow can be regarded as the aftertaste of the heavy snow on Christmas Day, but it doesn't seem too abrupt.
On winter mornings, it is reasonable to have some cold wind.
Zheng Qing originally thought that the morning wind, like the morning snow, would stop soon. But until the Forgiveness Hunting Team began to "bury the pot to make rice" and all members took a rest, this small but strong wind and snow did not stop, and was always there.
Everyone was noisy and circling around.
The fine salt-like snowflakes crackled on the face, causing a slight stinging sensation. Including Zheng Qing, the five members of the hunting team did not use amulets or other magic, but carefully felt the snow caught in the wind and snow.
information.
This is the trick that Deng Xiaojian taught to the hunting team when they were training a few days ago - in the forest, especially in the forest with a poor climate environment, staying vigilant and conserving magic power are the most important principles for hunters. And with the wind
The close contact with the snow can not only reduce the consumption of unnecessary supplies, but also capture the information hidden behind the wind. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
It is said that they can make rice by burying a pot, but for the wizards of the hunting team, this is not realistic.
They are not outing in the forest, nor are they training in a hunting ground in school. They are in the real hunting. In this forest full of malice towards wizards, every twig, every dead leaf, every
Behind each snowflake and every ray of cold wind, there seems to be a malicious gaze hidden.
Hunters need to minimize signs of their activity while trying to capture the movements of their prey.
At this time, burning a warm fire and letting the blue-white smoke drift away in the wind is as conspicuous as holding a big lantern in the dark night. No one with any brains would do that.
'Lunch' consists of a chocolate bar for each person, a piece of beef jerky, a piece of buttered white bread without butter, and a small bottle of clean water - if you still feel troublesome, then the school also provides hunting activities
The hunters prepared nutritious dry food pellets, but the pellets were small and tasted bad, so no one liked to eat them unless necessary.
"I really want to eat a sweet cake cup." Fatty Xin muttered in a low voice, his eyes lingering on the small snowdrift not far away - his watch was confiscated by the hunting committee before the game started.
In addition to the designated supplies, the school only allows hunters who participate in the winter hunt to carry weapons that they are good at.
Zheng Qing followed the fat man's gaze and immediately laughed.
The snowdrift was round at the bottom and pointed at the top. It really looked like a cake cup filled with cream. It just didn't have that sweet smell.
"I thought that as a wizard, I could live an easier life in the wilderness." The young public-funded student tugged at the corners of his clothes and wrapped the leather around him tighter.
Just like what he said, the current situation of the Forgiveness Hunting Team is far from relaxed - he originally thought that everyone could wear all kinds of talismans to keep warm and protect themselves, and then turn on all-round scanning magic, just like going on an outing.
They also shuttled between the open spaces on the outskirts of the forest, searching for prey hiding behind dry bushes and snowdrifts.
Find them, kill them, peel off their skins, remove their eyeballs, take out their internal organs, knock out their marrow, throw the unused flesh and blood back into the wild, and then everyone happily continues to look for the next wave of prey.
But the reality is that when the safety of the hunting area and the strength of the prey cannot be determined, according to the SOP manual issued by the school's winter hunting committee, no hunting team is allowed to use magic excessively.
Like a real hunting team exploring the wilderness forest, they must face any situation that may occur with the most professional and cautious attitude. Hunting teams that violate this principle will not be disqualified from winter hunting by the school.
But the hunting team score will undoubtedly be reduced to the lowest - and the hunting team score is related to the final credit award everyone gets, and is the most concerned thing for all students participating in the winter hunting.
none of them.
It’s not that no one has thought about secretly using some super magic, but the few honest people in the Exoneration Hunting Team are not among them. They don’t want to go crazy on the edge of danger to test the sensitivity of the school’s magic array.
"Magic is just a skill we use to survive in this world, and cognition is our unique talent." Xiao Xiao likes to preach as always: "We can stay very comfortable in the wild without using magic...We must learn how to
Give full play to our subjective initiative as wizards."
Similar to Dr. Xin, Fatty Xin also likes to argue.
“If cognition is really so important, why don’t we call them ‘cognitive experts’ but ‘magicians’?” As a reporter, Fatty is obviously very good at catching loopholes in other people’s words.
"The "Wizard Code" clearly defines us as 'wizards', thank you." Xiao Xiao was obviously not frightened by the fat man's provocation, and calmly retorted: "...not some country slang for 'magic'
division'."
"You are sophistry!" The fat man blushed and looked like a distant relative of Zhang Jixin.
"I'm just correcting your deviation in self-definition." Xiao Xiao adjusted his glasses and curled his lips.
"Stop talking nonsense! If you have time to argue here, why not find those mongooses early and kill them... Then we can go back to the cabin in the forest and drink hot black tea around the stove." Zheng Qing
With the majesty of the hunting team leader, the small friction between the two partners was interrupted and the hunting team's goal was reunited.
The cabin in the forest is a safe camp set up by each hunting team before entering the forest. It is the only rear area that the hunting team can rely on during the three days of winter hunting. The guardian arrays, talismans and other resources used in the cabin are all provided by
The school provides it uniformly. Each hunting team will also arrange several alternate seats to stay there, which serves as a supplementary staff and a rest base.
This time, the Forgiveness Hunting Team arranged for three people, Lin Guo, Lan Que and the young monk Shi Yuan, to stay in the forest cabin as alternate seats.
"I don't like black tea," the fat man muttered. He took out the antifreeze and breath-concealing magic potion from his arms and began to distribute it to his friends: "...In this weather, I like to drink some wine to keep warm. Yes.
It’s good for your stomach.”
"No problem at all," Zheng Qing took the potion from the fat man and said kindly: "Ling Guo has a bottle of amber light left over from the D&K opening ceremony. We will drink it when we get back. It's safe.
of."
"That's all right." A satisfied smile immediately broke out on the fat man's face.
