"According to Brother Qing's mentality, it seems more suitable to go to Atlas to become a paranoid believer of a certain god, or to enter Starry Sky Academy to become a fighting madman."
Dylan held his chin and commented in a low voice, his tone full of curiosity: "So...why did you choose Jiuyou Academy in the first place? If you change your mind now, I can help you find the way to Starry Sky Academy and try
Can I help you apply for some transfer procedures?"
He said the last words to Zheng Qing's back.
Zheng Qing lowered his head and pretended not to hear Mr. Vampire Werewolf's somewhat serious teasing.
Just because he doesn't speak doesn't mean others will remain silent.
"A momentary fluctuation in mentality cannot determine a person's true quality." Xiao Xiao walked on the other side of Zheng Qing. After hearing this, he turned his head and looked at Dylan, denying: "I think the school roster is considering this issue.
It will definitely be more thoughtful and profound than you think."
"This is just your imagination. Maybe from a certain perspective, those magical creations are indeed very magical, but in many cases, they are stupider than pigs." After saying this, Dylan suddenly shook his head and changed his words: "
No, pigs are still very smart animals...they are even worse than amoebas!"
Zhang Jixin did not join the conversation between Dylan and Xiao Xiao.
Compared with the two of them, Elder Zhang Da, who once served as the main hunter of the hunting team, appears to be more steady and considers the problem more comprehensively under the current situation.
"Do you need me to ask my family to say hello?" He walked a few steps and came to Zheng Qing's side. He lowered his voice and whispered: "If I remember correctly, your family has no acquaintances in Danhag...
Don't be too busy refusing. I have nothing to do with this matter anyway. Bringing you one more person is just a matter of submitting a few more pages of defense materials. It won't be more troublesome."
"Well, I can help with this too." Dylan added after realizing it.
Zheng Qing glanced at his two companions with some emotion, but did not completely reject their kindness.
"Don't worry about the defender," the young public-funded student said, trying to make his tone more relaxed: "It won't be too late to make a decision after the school's preliminary investigation... If the situation is serious, the school will definitely tell us in advance.
"
"In addition, I actually don't feel that I have done anything wrong... As the doctor said before, in the rules of monster hunting, hunters are allowed to use certain uncontrollable means when facing 'threats beyond their capabilities'
…”
The brief discussion among several young hunters came to an abrupt end.
It wasn't that they had nothing to talk about, nor that they had arrived at the 'forest cabin' that was the base camp for the hunting team. But Assistant Coach Hilda, who was walking at the front, suddenly raised her arm and made a stop sign.
.
"The situation around us doesn't seem right... Everyone, please be alert!"
Hilda's voice was very low, but it rang clearly in everyone's ears.
The few young hunters of the Exoneration Hunting Team who were muttering in low voices immediately shut up when they heard this, subconsciously formed a defensive formation, and looked around vigilantly.
Thomas, who was following a few people, had a satisfied smile on his face. He did not disturb these young wizards, but flew straight towards Hilda to help him further explore the situation ahead.
Soon, a series of news was transmitted to other members of the team along with the analysis of the peripheral assistant coaches.
"The basic constants of the Silent Forest are experiencing abnormal fluctuations! The magic concentration is rising sharply at a rate of 5% per minute!"
"The influence factor of the Guardian Formation of the First University is rapidly declining! It is expected that in ten minutes, the suppression of this area by the Guardian Formation will be reduced to a minimum!"
"No mutations were found in the trees, shrubs, and dead grass in the forest."
"No mutations were found in the snowdrift."
"The scan found no abnormal life fluctuations, and the scan found no strange aura."
"The sky is darkening faster than normal... Natural factors such as thunderstorms and cumulus clouds have been ruled out."
The series of complex constant values exchanged by the teaching assistants earlier did not have much reference value for Zheng Qing - in fact, he did not know some of the accurate constants of the Silent Forest, and could not conduct comparative analysis - in comparison,
Zheng Qing had personal experience with the last piece of information mentioned by the teaching assistants.
When the team set off, it was already past four in the afternoon.
Because it is winter now, according to normal time logic, the sun has basically disappeared below the horizon during this period. Only a gray-white sky is left, spreading gray-white light to the earth - this process usually lasts about an hour.
, until about half past five, even this bit of gray-white light will be swallowed up by the night.
But it was not yet five o'clock, and the sky was already darkening at an abnormal speed.
It was as if someone was using a large pen dipped in thick ink to smear lines from the sky. Looking up, Zheng Qing could clearly see different shades of black covering their heads from the horizon.
It was extremely dark in the distance, as if it were midnight without the moon and stars; nearby, there was still a little light, like ink dizzy with clear water, and there were a few wisps of darkness brewing in the light color, between the clouds and the treetops.
Rolling, flowing.
"Attention all!"
"With the Forgiveness Hunting Team as the center, shrink the formation and stay put!"
"The diviner tries to guess the retreat route, and the auxiliary hunter tries to contact the school!"
"The battle team is preparing to combine the thunder spell!"
"The auxiliary team prepares all-enhancing magic!"
"Don't use any summoning spells yet!"
As the team leader, Zhang Yu, after discovering the abnormal situation, decisively ordered and assigned tasks in an orderly manner. This calm attitude is very boosting morale when encountering emergencies.
And his response obviously triggered the power hidden in the darkness.
Just when the team stopped advancing, established a defensive formation, and began to measure and check the surrounding environment, the power that was originally hidden in the darkness gave up hiding and suddenly exerted force.
It was as if a huge black bag fell from the sky, and in an instant, the sky, which originally had a hint of light, turned into a pitch-black world where one couldn't even see his fingers.
At the same time, the surrounding wind, voices, rustling of branches, and the sound of crunching in the snow also disappeared. Just like that big black bag that carries away the light from the sky, it also absorbs the sounds of the world.
and plundered them.
Facing the endless darkness and silence, fear naturally arises from everyone's heart.
In particular, the young wizards of the Exoneration Hunting Team lacked the means to deal with this situation.
Fortunately, they had built a defensive formation early. With the magic power flowing slowly through the formation's nodes, the four young people had a fragile connection between them, preventing them from falling into delusion.
