Monster Hunting High School

The annoying check didn't last long.

Although the goldfish guard has a poor memory, he is responsible enough. After confirming the identities of several guests, it spit out a big bubble and let several people get into the bubble. Then it used its tail to push the bubble into the pond.

When looking from the outside, the pond water is clear and shallow.

But after the bubble fell into the pond, Zheng Qing felt like he was entering a high-speed elevator - outside the transparent bubble wall, light and shadow flashed quickly, including slender swimming fish, oval scallops, horizontal crabs, etc., aquatic creatures The body was shimmering with various magical halos, which made people dizzy and made them close their eyes.

When Zheng Qing felt the bubbles vibrate and opened his eyes again, he saw a dark blue world in front of him.

It feels like you are in the deepest part of the sea, but when you look up you can see the brilliant stars in the sky.

This contradictory novel feeling made several young wizards stay in place for a while, just raising their necks and admiring the magnificent and magical scenery of nature.

"Quanke welcomes you." A big blue-black crab waved its huge pliers, holding two magic bouquets on the pliers. Its voice was like a brush rubbing wood, and it was hoarse and hoarse: "... New arrival Guests, don’t stand at the door, blocking the way of other guests.”

Zheng Qing suddenly woke up, dragged the witch, and left there quickly.

Different from the pedestrian streets of Huiziji, Sijifang or Beita Town, Quancelai's Wei City is located underwater, which results in it having two very distinctive characteristics - heavy water vapor and dark light.

Although the organizers used a huge bubble-like barrier to isolate Wei City from the close contact with the sea water, creating a world full of air so that guests from land can purchase goods in Wei City with peace of mind, this is an aquarium after all. world. For the health of aquariums, the humidity in Wei City is particularly high.

Zheng Qing felt like he was spraying water like a whale with every breath he took.

As for the dark light, the fair organizers used a large amount of magic light to replace the natural light, which made up for this flaw very well.

Fist-sized luminous pearls are embedded in the surrounding coral trees, shining brightly; luminous octopuses climb freely on the bubble wall, and their whole bodies shed orange or white light depending on the water temperature and mood; and there are streets In the stone shops on both sides, shopkeepers lit candles and oil lamps to attract every passing customer.

The oil lamps used by aquatic people are different from those used by terrestrial wizards.

The wizards on the shore like to use precious marine ointments such as whale oil, shark oil, and dragon oil as fuel, while the magical beings underwater are tit for tat, using equally precious ointments such as lard, monkey oil, and giant oil. Make fuel.

A crudely made black candle burned hard in the low stone room. The candle flame was bright red, with one or two golden sparks popping out from time to time, making a slight, beeping, popping sound.

Everyone's face seemed to be covered with a thin black veil, adding a sense of mystery for no reason.

Also different from the noisy and noisy underground market, the underwater market is more like the legendary ghost market, so quiet that it makes people feel scared. Zheng Qing felt that every step they took was like walking deeper into the mud. The water vapor and silence oppressed the people and made them unable to breathe.

"It can't be so quiet here forever, right?" He moved his lips slightly and asked his two companions in a mosquito-like voice - and then he saw two businessmen doing it in the ancient way of 'pinch their fingers with their sleeves' trade.

Jiang Yu patted his shoulder comfortingly.

The little fox struggled hard in Zheng Qing's arms, trying to break free from his restraints and go outside to have fun. The young public-funded student had to find a rope and tie it to his wrist to prevent it from sneaking away accidentally.

"Be honest!" the wizard lowered his voice in annoyance and lectured: "This is not a school...be careful of being caught by people making fox fur coats!"

"It's too small to make a fox fur coat...at most it can be a hat." Xiao Xiao corrected him kindly.

These terrible words finally made Poseidon calm down a little.

Of course, what's more likely to calm it down is the tiny eight-clawed octopus in its paws.

Just passing by a coral tree, Zheng Qing saw this glowing eight-clawed octopus climbing up the branch, so he picked it off and gave it to the little fox as a toy.

The little fox was playing happily, but Mr. Octopus was very annoyed - the light from his head had changed from milky white to bright red, like a pool of flowing lava.

The red light of the magma illuminated the nearest shop, and a piece of fresh green tortoise shell hung on the stone lintel. The slender green hair undulated slowly in the moist air, as if it was still alive.

Zheng Qing poked his head in and took a look. This was a shop specializing in selling turtle shells.

Just at a quick glance, he saw many distinctive tortoise shells such as longevity turtles, sea turtles, mud turtles, old turtles, snapping turtles, tide turtles, leatherback turtles, etc., piled up in the store. A tall fishman was looking at a large scale in his hand distressedly.

Seeing a guest showing up, a hint of joy suddenly flashed in the fishman's eyes, he threw away the weight in his hand and hissed: "Do you need some tortoise shell? Divination, medicine, carving array, all kinds of categories are complete, priced according to each. The cheapest one is a copper!"

The young public-funded student smiled apologetically, then retracted his head with a whoosh.

"Doctor, you can buy some," Zheng Qing glanced at Xiao Xiao, who had been following him, and suggested: "The prices of tortoise shells here are very cheap... Don't you usually like to use tortoise shells when doing divination?"

"Free at home." Xiao Xiao's goatee curled up on his chin, and his answer was extremely concise.

Zheng Qing said "Oh" and his eyes were already attracted to the next store. He looked at everything that was completely different from the ground with great interest.

A short, wizened old wizard jumped on his feet and shouted in front of a slender shark: "...It's simply robbery! A foot of shark was only three beans and five jiao last year, how can it become five beans this year?"

The shark raised his hand and pointed at a blackboard hanging on the shop floor.

It says, 'Affected by the La Niña phenomenon, the seawater in the eastern ocean has become abnormally cold, and the production of shark croakers has been significantly reduced in 2008-09. This price change has been verified by Quanke, and there is no behavior such as price gouging. ’

The shriveled old wizard rolled his eyes and muttered: "Then if I buy more than a hundred feet, can you spare me ten shark beads?"

Shark beads are said to be pearls formed from the tears of sharks. They are widely used in many magic potions and their price is more than double that of ordinary pearls.

Zheng Qing had never seen a customer who was so good at bargaining, and he couldn't help but open his eyes wide.

Just because the sharks don't often interact with wizards doesn't mean they are stupid.

"No!" The shopkeeper who was selling shark's rice noodles finally spoke and refused firmly: "Loss of money!"

Her voice was very clear, as melodious as a bird.

"Nine?"

"Eight...seven, right?! You spared me five when I bought it last year. It's so expensive this year, so it doesn't matter if you give me two more!"
