Hunting High School

boom!

The thick mace hit the ground heavily, and the splashed snowflakes shot in all directions, and the surrounding bushes and small trees rattled when they hit.

The monster!

The corners of Nicholas Green's eyes twitched slightly, and his eyes fell on the owner of the mace.

It was a two-headed ogre.

He was more than three meters tall, with big arms and a round waist. His bluish-gray skin was exposed in the cold wind, like pieces of carved rock, revealing a cold and hard feeling.

This double-headed ogre belongs to the Yin & Yang ogre. The two heads are like forked branches on its shoulders, one on the left and one on the right, with different sizes. The slightly larger head looks very young, with smooth skin, and the fangs hanging from the corners of the mouth are pale white, with a few traces of fresh flesh hanging on them; the slightly smaller head is already old, with wrinkled skin Stacked together, it is almost impossible to see where its eyes are.

But in Nicholas' eyes, that old head was more dangerous than that young head.

Because to deal with ordinary ogres who can only wield sticks, wizards have too many means to concoct them, and the heads of old ogres have accumulated over time, even if they are not priests, they can still master a few shaman magic. Make them extra tricky.

Of course, these judgments are just feelings at the moment.

The fringe hunting team is hiding in the magic barrier they built, trying to keep a low profile according to the suggestion of the school hunting team, and doesn't intend to have anything to do with the ogre that suddenly appeared.

"hiss!"

The murloc Iseni, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, shook the slender fins on the back of his neck, and suddenly muttered, "This... hiss... ogre... hiss... so ugly! It's not good-looking!"

In all fairness, Nicholas felt that Iseni was not qualified to say such things.

But for the sake of the unity of the team, he must not speak out what is in his own mind.

"Ugly is the field without grass, the farmland without green leaves, and the head without hair." The gypsy witch in the hunting team added casually.

"what?"

Lin Yan said the word for Nicholas.

Carmen lowered her eyelids and replied without raising her head while fiddling with the Tarot cards in front of her, "This is a sentence said by the Roman poet Ovid...it means that a head without hair is as ugly as a field without grass. "

The captain of the fringe hunting team looked at the two naked heads of the ogre on the opposite side, and then realized what the witch meant. He couldn't help coughing lightly: "Stop chatting...how's the divination result? Besides, the other hunters Did the team reply?"

The previous sentence is to ask the fortune teller of the hunting party, the gypsy witch Carmen.

The last sentence is to ask another auxiliary hunter of the hunting team, Liu Feifei.

"Apart from the original news about the school hunting team, there is no other news." Liu Feifei changed her previous soft and weak appearance, with her hair tied back, and replied quickly: "Even the forgiveness hunting team can't contact you." Going on... I suspect we've encountered a magical shield."

"Just relying on that ogre shaman on the opposite side?" Lin Yan didn't quite believe it.

"What if there is more than one ogre shaman?" The fortune teller of the fringe hunting team glanced at the card he had just drawn, and sighed slightly.

A reversed 'Wheel of Fortune'.

"Things are going in a bad direction without us knowing, and there's nothing we can do about it."

After a brief summary, the gypsy witch drew out the second card, which was a regular 'Devil': "...and all these developments are based on some kind of malice...or, in other words, from some ulterior secrets ... We are bound here by the Devil's chains, both their prisoner and their accomplice."

Then, she threw out a third card, a reversed 'The Hanged': "Every card I get has the word 'bad luck' written all over it...but this card shows, As long as we don't make unnecessary sacrifices, there will be no sacrifices."

Before the words finished, the card that had been thrown into the snow seemed to be tilted downward due to the melting snow, the gypsy witch raised her eyebrows,

Added: "...there is a high probability that there will be no sacrifice."

Three cards were thrown crookedly in the snow, like three ugly sores.

The divination skills of gypsy witches are well-known even in the first university. The only problem is that, like most ordinary wizards' divination magic, they always get vague and contradictory answers.

"What do you mean by 'being both a prisoner and an accomplice'?" Liu Feifei frowned, with a confused expression on her face.

"How bad is the situation?" Lin Yan got up and looked around, looking carefully at the shadowy shrubs outside through the translucent barrier of the magic barrier.

"There is a high probability that there will be no sacrifice... Is the situation so bad?" Although the captain of the fringe hunting team had no expression on his face, his heart suddenly sank.

Whether it was the abnormal noise coming from the depths of the silent forest, or the golden curtain that fell from the school's guardian circle not long ago, it only made the old student who had been in the school for four years a little nervous, and didn't think too much—— Simply thinking that all this is the school playing some kind of "trick" and engaging in actual combat drills, this kind of thing has been seen more than once during his four years in First University.

But from another point of view, this is also the first time he participated in the outermost winter hunting. He has no experience in what kind of test the school will set up for these hunting teams. A real 'sacrifice'.

Xu is aware of Nicholas' hesitation.

Liu Feifei grabbed his hand and squeezed it, but she didn't speak, which was a kind of silent support.

boom!

Outside the magic barrier, the two-headed ogre running around refused to leave for a long time, and became more and more anxious, waving a thick mace and lashing around indiscriminately, and the splashing snow wiped the knot several times. The edge of the border, almost exposing the existence of the fringe hunting team.

"There is indeed more than one!"

A trace of panic suddenly appeared in Lin Yan's voice. After all, he is only a first-year student, and it has been less than half a year since he entered school: "...Look over there!"

Everyone followed the prestige, and saw that the bushes in the depths of the forest had been overturned, and dozens of ogres dragging sticks and big bones were gathering here.

The good news is that they are all ordinary ogres with only one head; the bad news is that there are too many of them, and it will be difficult for the fringe hunting team to deal with them.

The two-headed ogre must not be allowed to join its minions!

Nicholas hesitated no longer.

He took a light breath, looked around, and finally made up his mind: "We must defeat the leader of the two-headed ogre immediately, otherwise we won't be able to hide for long even in the barrier."

"We are the Edgehunters."

"We were born on the fringes of the alliance, the fringes of wizards. We have no one to rely on. We don't count on others. We can only save ourselves."
