Hunting High School

The return of silence is a unique natural phenomenon in Phuket Island.

Every year at the turn of spring and winter, before and after the Temptation Festival, when the soul-returning poplars spit out the first shoots, the stingrays from the deep sea will return from afar with their fat and strong bodies, and travel along the wide and deep sea. The Silent River swims all the way up.

There is a saying in ancient books: Wen ray, shaped like a carp, has a body like a bird's wings, a pale head, and a red beak. It often travels in the West Sea, swims in the East Sea, returns to Buji, and flies at night. Its sound is like luan chicken, its taste is sour and sweet, if you eat it like crazy, you will see it and see it.

Some people say that the ray belonged to Phuket Island because they wanted to migrate to the shoals upstream of the river to have children and maintain the continuation of the group; Some people say that these swimming fish are the rations raised by the gluttons in the depths of the silent forest. Every early spring, after the gluttons wake up, they will call the own rations to swim back into its mouth quickly.

In any case, for these rays, the migration path is a difficult journey.

From salty sea to fresh water, from wide waters to turbulent rivers, as well as those large and small waterfalls and dams standing on the silent river, not to mention the many Magical Beasts smelling smelly from both sides of the river bank, and from the sky and water. Under the common hunter.

Even if these fish have wings, sharp beaks, and poison, they can't stop the monsters on the island who have been hungry for a winter.

For the inhabitants of the forest, this is a feast.

An annual feast.

"The silence has returned this year, earlier than in previous years." Dr. Duzem lowered his head, patiently adjusted the doses of different medicinal powders, and casually explained to the two young wizards:

"In most years, the ray migration occurs in early spring."

"At that time, they were nourished by the deep sea for a whole winter. They were fat and strong, and they were full of strength. With a flick of their wings, they could jump from the mouth of the Silent River to the Third Stage Waterfall; with their red beaks lightly pecked, they could break the bones of a brown bear. Back skin."

"The monsters in the Silent Forest have been hungry for a whole winter, and they are no less ferocious than these flying fish."

"The prey and the hunters fought from the lower reaches of the Silent River to the upper reaches of the river. For a whole month, most of the Silent River was dark red."

Zheng Qing imagined the tumbling river, the crimson river, and couldn't help being dazzled.

"But now, swarms of stingrays have returned from the bottom of the sea ahead of schedule, and the ferocious beasts on both sides of the river have just been fattened up by the abundant food in summer, and they don't want to fight with these swimming fish, so let them go all the way up. "

"It sounds like a good situation." Zheng Qing thought about it, and whispered: "The ray can migrate safely, and the animals on both sides of the river don't need to die at the bottom of the river for a few mouthfuls of fish...I feel like this is a It's a win-win."

"Win-win?" The doctor raised his head and looked at him sarcastically: "How did you become a public fee student? Is your brain the size of a walnut?"

Zheng Qing blinked, looking at the doctor who suddenly uttered evil words, feeling a little puzzled.

"It's not a win-win, it's a total loss." The doctor raised a finger and shook it quickly: "Every ecological chain has an extremely precise, sensitive, and fragile structure. Any unstable fluctuations in the ecological chain, If it is transmitted to the upstream and downstream ends of the chain, it will cause irreversible huge changes."

"Take the resurgence of silence as an example."

"Every year in the desperate fight on the Silent River in early spring, there will always be a large number of ray rays and Magical Beasts from the Silent Forest. When the migration is over, the number of monsters in the forest and those vicious swimming fish will drop to A level that makes wizards feel at ease...a quantity that will not pose any threat to wizards."

"Not to mention that the flesh and blood of both sides have nourished the vast forests along the banks of the river, such as the Returning Soul Poplar and the Unyielding Willow, and nurtured countless weak creatures on the bottom of the river and on the banks... and those magicians in the northern area of ​​Beta Town. Look forward to catching some pieces of meat from the river this season, and pickling some bacon for the festival.”

"Without a fight, a large number of ray rays flood into the upper reaches of the Silent River, which will cause some serious consequences. For example, they will eat up the small creatures on both sides of the river bed, and for example, they will feed the witches imprisoned in the deep forest. something exists."

"That is to say," Jiang Yu also came to his senses immediately, and said, "The Sha Shiqun, the Red Chain Snake, and those corpse-eating beetles all escaped into the school to avoid the predation of these fish schools?"

Zheng Qing suddenly realized.

"It's just one of the reasons." The corners of Dr. Duzem's mouth twitched, with a gentle smile on his face: "A large number of ray crossing the border not only threatened the safety of those little bugs, but also ate up their rations...for example The red chain snake has a lot of overlap with the ray in the recipe. The fish eat up the bait, and the big snakes can hide in the hole and pretend to hibernate with their eyes closed. Those little snakes can only sneak into the school to see Can I find something to eat?"

"Sounds so pitiful." Zheng Qing smacked his lips, thinking of a certain little snake that was brought into the nest by the old hound, and mourned for a few seconds for their miserable fate.

"They have been living in this environment, and there is nothing pitiful about them." Dr. Duzem shook his head and emphasized: "The real pitiful thing is Beta Town, the low-level wizards in the south of the town and the magicians in the north. us."

"Shoals of stingrays are only so big."

"Since autumn has swum back, there must be no spring."

"The herds of beasts in the Silent Forest have been hungry all winter. When the spring warms and the flowers bloom, they crawl out of their caves and find that there are no fat swimming fish in the river. What will they do?"

Zheng Qing swallowed quietly, and turned her gaze out of the window to the shadowy buildings in the distance.

Dr. Duzem's cold voice continued to ring in his ears.

"Very hungry beasts can do anything. For example, attack a small public area of ​​the First University, or attack wizards who entered the forest... When nothing helps and they are facing desperation, these beasts Absolutely wouldn’t mind rushing into this food-filled town.”

"Why can't we see those schools of ray now?" Zheng Qing asked suddenly.

If according to the doctor's point of view, this year's resurgence of silence has been advanced by several months, then in any case, the students should have discovered some clues.

Not to mention that the southern part of Beta Town is adjacent to the river, and a pier has been built; the campus of the First University alone has many public areas built on the waterside of the tributaries of the Silent River—and Linzhong Lake, which is also a part of the Silent River.

"Manrays are nocturnal creatures. They sleep on the bottom of the water during the day, and only fly and glide on the river at night. Therefore, the first people who discovered the migration of fish schools were the low-level wizards who got up in the middle of the night in the southern district."

Dr. Duzem paused and shook his head when he said this: "What's more, you young people hide in the guardian circle of the First University all day long, how can there be a guy who doesn't have eyes to touch your bad head at will? !"

...

Time flies.

After the elves took the latest batch of potions, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening.

The Doctor sent the two young wizards to the door.

"You should be more concerned about your health than these elves."

Before leaving the institute, Dr. Duzem reminded Zheng Qing earnestly: "If you fall before these elves are truly free, then their miserable future will not change in the slightest."

"I'm very healthy." Zheng Qing forced a smile, bent his arms, and bulged the muscles in his arms.

"Any healthy wizard will not have two big eye bags, dark circles, bloodshot eyes... and nightmares every day." Jiang Yu couldn't help but said: "I think what the doctor said Very reasonable."

Zheng Qing chuckled and glanced at Dr. Duzem.

The doctor's dark circles are much worse than his.
