Monster Hunting High School

Now that they were far away from the whirlpool of trouble at Linzhong Lake, Zheng Qing and his friends naturally had a tacit understanding and stopped discussing this matter. Everyone said goodbye to each other on a hidden lawn in the back garden of the school and left.

A night of silence.

At noon the next day, Fatty Xin went for a walk by Linzhong Lake in the name of 'picking up medicine', and then he figured out the whole story of the accident last night.

It turned out that the reason why the patrol team became furious and provoked the fish-men at the shore of Linzhong Lake was because they found a large amount of fish-man feces thrown in front of the Shushan Pavilion during their patrol. On the stone pillars standing on both sides of the door, some strange symbols were scrawled with excrement.

Although subsequent verification confirmed that those symbols had no magic power fluctuations and had no exact meaning - it was probably just someone venting their dissatisfaction - this behavior had a very bad impact.

At that time, the patrol members were in full view, and they could clearly see obvious wet marks extending from Linzhong Lake to the front of Shushan Hall. It looks like the traces of fish people dragging their heavy footsteps.

Coupled with the recent discord between the fishmen and the school, and the conflicts between the fishmen and the patrol team, some young and energetic members of the patrol team became so angry that they gathered on the shore of the lake on their own to recruit the fishmen to come out for a confrontation. .

The murlocs who responded to the call were not easy to deal with. They insisted on "reservation autonomy" and demanded that these young wizards hand over tangible evidence. They were uncooperative in various ways and even had a lot of sarcasm in their words. Most of the members of the patrol team were originally punished for violating school rules and disciplines, so naturally they had a little temper. After a few words, conflicts naturally occurred.

"What's the end? What's the outcome of the conflict?" Zheng Qing held the divination book in his arms and added a new 'divination trend line' to his chart according to the book, while wondering about the outcome of last night's storm: "I remember that many members of the patrol were knocked away by the fish-man's water dragon... Was anyone injured?"

Fatty Xin had been busy all morning, and when he came back he talked a lot. He was already very thirsty.

After hearing Zheng Qing's question, he did not answer immediately. Instead, he took the green tea brewed by the elves and drank a large cup. Then he breathed a sigh of relief: "Injured? Being hit by a water dragon head-on, injuries are inevitable. Yes...but those murlocs are not feeling well either. I heard that one murloc was stained with colored paint that could not be removed by the patrol's magic, and the fins of the murloc were torn off, and the scene was in a mess. "No one can tell who made the move first, nor who hurt whom."

"The patrol team is not feeling well either. In addition to the guys who were knocked away by the water dragon and had their bones broken, I also heard that some patrol team members were smoked and vomited by those stinky fishmen, leaving a lot of pickled food on the ground. Stinging things will disgust the students passing by!”

Fishmen smell bad, Zheng Qing saw it on his first day at school.

Looking at the fat man's excited description, Zheng Qing seemed to have seen the messy scene by the lake, and felt his stomach churn.

"Anyway, it's just a confusing account, isn't it." Dylan retracted his head from the edge of the coffin and said with a loud voice.

The fat man drank his tea, shrugged, and agreed with Dylan's summary.

"Alas," Xiao Xiao held Tuantuan in his arms, combed it, and sighed: "History likes to joke with people like this. The conflict between Alpha Academy and Jiuyou Academy is getting increasingly intense. No one would have expected that such an unexpected change would happen. Intensified in unexpected places.”

Zheng Qing raised his eyebrows, aware of the deep meaning behind Xiao Xiao's words.

"Probably not," he said hesitantly: "It's just a private matter about the fish-man tribe. How could it affect the relationship between the two colleges? Even the conflict last night was only an internal conflict within the college. Na."

"Before the Serbian bench hunter hunted the 'Beacon Demon' in the 'Super Hunting Ground', no one would have thought that the Lich King's giant palm would tear open the sky of the hunting ground at the next moment; similarly, the great wizard When Leibniz presented his paper "A Brief Description of the Linear Conditions of the Universe" at the World Congress of Wizards in 1895, he would not have thought that decades later, this article would open up a feast for the dimensionalists and would become a banned The basis of the curse.”

Xiao Xiao shook his head, and in the blink of an eye he came up with two examples to deny Zheng Qing's hesitation: "In this world, everything is connected. Just because you can't see it doesn't mean that those secret and dangerous connections are not there." exist."

The doctor's words always aroused everyone's deep thinking, and the dormitory fell into silence for a while.

Xu felt very comfortable combing his hair. Tuantuan stretched his paws lazily in Xiao Xiao's arms and snored comfortably. The sound of purring was extremely clear in the quiet dormitory, attracting the elves to stand and watch.

Zheng Qing also felt that the atmosphere was a little depressing.

He flipped through the textbook in his hand and turned to look at Fatty Xin: "Speaking of which, why did you come back so late? I thought that as a reporter, you would be quick to find out some information."

"Because I want to 'pick up medicine'!" Fatty Xin was displeased and complained in a long voice: "How pitiful, those fishmen smeared too much mucus on the lakeside, making a large area smelly. It’s really heartbreaking that the school working committee can’t clear up the ‘evidence’ before the school has investigated the whole incident.”

"Did you really go to 'pick up medicine'?" Zheng Qing turned around and looked at the fat man curiously: "I thought that was just an excuse."

The so-called "picking up medicine" is similar in nature to "collecting medicine". It's just that when picking medicine, you usually pick up herbs, while when picking medicine, you pick up insect drugs. As one of the most complex ecosystem areas in the school, Linzhong Lake has many unique medicinal materials. Some students who are strapped for money can "get local materials" to finance their studies after submitting applications to the school.

"Of course it can't be fake... This is the basic principle of our investigation." When he mentioned this, the fat man's round face glowed with pride, and he looked quite interesting.

"What medicine did you pick up?" Xiao Xiao was very interested in this point.

Fatty Xin dug around in his arms and took out a small insect cage woven from bamboo strips, and waved it in front of his roommates. Through the narrow gap in the insect cage, Zheng Qing could see two black grasshoppers lying inside, their ears and temples rubbing together, as if they were stuck together.

"The original pair of crickets! I turned over a lot of rocks to find just this pair." He showed off in a lively manner, as if he had caught a faceless monster: "A truly wild pair, not the ones on the pedestrian street. The bugs that were raised together and forcibly paired. Professor Li said that the medicinal properties of those forcibly paired bugs will be reduced when used as a medicine. "
