Hunting High School

Ants are also called ants, which are a kind of large ants. The ones on the campus of First University are about the size of a thumb and green in color, and their scientific name is 'green ant' in the Encyclopedia of the Wizarding World.

Green scorpion likes shade and coolness, and is addicted to fish sauce and tree moss. It can be used as medicine to relieve heat, poison and sores. Some alchemists will also refine it into certain metals to obtain specific magical effects.

Different from the huge group size of general ants, green gnats usually move in families.

Each family is composed of one female ant, three to five male ants, and more than ten young ants. From this point of view, the green gnat has a social structure similar to magical creatures such as werewolves, naga, and centaurs.

These magic insects are active all year round. They hide in underground caves during the day, crawl to the ground in the evening, mix their saliva with clods of soil, and pile up special cylindrical anthills with an inch-high height: 'Watching the Moon Terrace', After the anthill is repaired, these green ants will climb onto the platform in order. Generally speaking, the mother ant will stay in the center of the platform, and the young ants can only stay on the edge of the platform. They lie there silently, sucking the moonlight and the darkness of night.

After long-term observations, magic biology researchers found that these green gnats would build different patterns according to the weather conditions and the surrounding environment when lying on the anthill, and those patterns often had many similarities with the basic talismans studied by wizards. The mystery in between has not been fully deciphered until today.

After dawn, these green gnats will discard the anthills that they have worked so hard to build all night, and dive back to the ground again. Until the evening of the next day, these giant ants will re-select an open and flat grassland to continue their protracted Guan Yue project.

This piece of lawn by the Linzhong Lake is the hardest-hit area for Guan Yue, a green gnat.

Every ten months, the janitors need to clean up the traces left by the green gnats, and those students who violate the school rules and disciplines on weekdays will be asked by the janitors to wave their heads and smash the moon-watching tower.

The young people are working hard, and the students are also working hard.

When Zheng Qing came to the lawn, he happened to hear a sophomore who was punished complaining: "These green gnats are so annoying, why can't they apply to the school, get some medicine, and sprinkle them to clean them up. You don't have to work so hard." .”

The public finance student couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. This sophomore guy must be new here. His blatant be lazy words will definitely be scolded by the old school workers.

Although he is also very supportive of drug spreading.

Sure enough, within a short while, old man Hemingway's rough roar resounded across the lawn: "You bastards! You can't even count as a wizard from the first university! The green scorpion is the bait of more than a dozen magical creatures in the lake. , They also help the hundreds of old trees by the lake to clean up the moss. Even the soil they left behind is the old Stendhal's favorite fertilizer in the botanical garden."

"Is there any common sense?!"

The sophomore boy was obviously frightened by old man Hemingway's roar, his face turned ashen, and he explained tremblingly: "I just think that these green gnats have left too many dirt blocks recently... I heard from my classmates that before There are only three to five hundred soil platforms here every month, and it is enough to clean them once a week. Now there are more than one hundred new ones every day...It needs to be cleaned every three to five times. I feel that the ecology of the lake is a bit out of balance."

Elder Hemingway leaned on his head, supported the felt hat on his head, squinted his eyes and scanned the lawn in front of him and the calm lake not far away, his face improved a little.

[In other words, currently the best app for reading and listening to books, Yeguo Reading, yeguoyuedu install the latest version. 】

"Recently, there are indeed too many." The old man nodded: "But it has not yet reached the point of ecological imbalance. If there are signs of that, the school will notify us... It's okay if you can think of this."

The last sentence seemed to be a compliment to the old student, but the words were too vague. After hearing this, the old student didn't know whether to show a little surprise or continue the previous panic. Several expressions were tangled together, making him look like he was constipated.

"Maybe it's because of the spring?"

Zheng Qing happened to walk up to the old man, and couldn't help interjecting and replied, "After the spring thunder, didn't the bugs come alive."

"Green gnats are different." Elder Hemingway shook his head: "Green gnats are monthly magical insects. They break their afterbirths at the beginning of the month, mature and mate in the middle of the month, and die at the end of the month. There is no such seasonal concept as spring. They are active all year round. In the middle of every month, when the moonlight is brightest, it is their spring."

"That's it." Zheng Qing scratched his chin, feeling that he had gained a little more knowledge.

"Our classmates discussed it and thought it was because of those guys in the lake." The second-year old student couldn't help but spoke again.

Zheng Qing took a serious look at him, and always felt that there was a trace of portrait between him and Dr. Xiao Da. The old school worker gave a hey, but did not comment on this new point of view.

"Why?" Zheng Qing asked back.

"Those guys in the lake" naturally refers to the murlocs. But the murlocs are far from the green squids. Even if the murlocs like to eat dried green squids as snacks, it has nothing to do with the large number of squids. On the contrary, because the murlocs are greedy, the number of green squids will decrease a lot. of.

"Because Qingpi likes fish sauce." The old man looked at Zheng Qing in surprise, as if wondering why he would ask such a strange question.

Seemingly aware of Zheng Qing's confusion, Elder Hemingway kindly explained: "The so-called 'fish sauce' is an elegant name, but it is actually the feces of murlocs."

Zheng Qing suddenly understood.

A few days ago, the murlocs were parading and demonstrating, throwing a lot of dung by the lake. If green gnats love 'fish sauce', it would make sense why they've proliferated abnormally lately.

After explaining, old man Hemingway finally realized that there was a gossiping guy standing in the lawn.

"Speaking of which, are you here to help clean the lawn?" The old man raised his eyebrows and squinted at the young public finance student. The sophomore next to him had a look of hope on his face.

"It's not." Zheng Qing couldn't help but smile. The old man immediately lowered his head in disappointment and said to old man Hemingway, "You sent me a note last night, asking me to come to you at noon today."

"Last night?" The old man obviously had some poor memory, squinting his eyes and scratching his head.

"It's the night patrol at Linzhong Lake on Saturday night. Because I have other things that may delay the patrol, I applied to adjust the task before." Zheng Qing added carefully.

"Oh, that matter." Elder Hemingway stretched out his hand: "The application process at the school committee is over, right?"

Zheng Qing nodded quickly.

"Well, then let's clean up these green ants and anthills." With a big wave of his hand, the old man assigned a new task to Zheng Qing: "Two options, one is to see the needles, and do as you are assigned. Before Saturday, do enough five." One-hour trivial tasks; another, you are in charge of cleaning up the green anthills from here to there, and it is enough to ensure that the number of anthills on Friday night is less than 100."

Looking at the range from 'here' to 'there' that the old man pointed out, Zheng Qing took a deep breath.

He estimated that the 'mission area' was half the size of a football field.

"I choose the first one." He made his choice dejectedly.

"I have extra heads here!" The sophomore greeted cheerfully.
