Monster Hunting High School

There is an oak tree in front of the Baicao Garden.

This oak tree is very old, its bark is rough and cracked, and it is covered with a thick layer of light blue moss. The low and thick tree trunk branched not far from the ground, like a giant hand holding the sky, twisting and deforming under heavy pressure.

A black and gray squirrel was holding an acorn, lying in its hole, its head drooped from the tree trunk, and it yawned widely.

The two-legged monsters under the tree began to change their skins again. It stared at the bipedal monsters roaring under the tree, raised its big fluffy tail, and shook it in boredom.

Every time the sky and the earth change colors, these two-legged monsters have to change their skins several times. Great Druids, I have to wait until the white cold flowers fall from the sky before I can shed these dull furs on my body and change into a new one. Warm and clean robes.

When the tree hole is full of acorns, it will be possible to change clothes. How long will it take? The squirrel thought as he raised the acorns in his hand and smashed them hard against the bipedal monster that was changing its skin under the oak tree.

This is its daily repertoire.

These two-legged monsters are very interesting. If you hit them with food, they will scream and occasionally give you a handful of acorns.

I wonder if I will encounter such a silly bipedal monster today.

The squirrel dug at the tree trunk and stuck its head out, eagerly hoping that the monster under the tree would give him a bunch of acorns.

But it was destined to disappoint.

The two-legged monster that changed its skin under the tree today was obviously very unloving. He just yelled in annoyance and continued to focus on changing its skin.

I can only wait for these two-legged monsters to enter the garden, and then go down to pick up my own acorn.

The squirrel shook its big tail in disappointment, leaned against the tree trunk, and looked into the distance melancholy.

The warm breeze is blowing, where are you, the bipedal monster that brought acorns...

Under the oak tree.

Zheng Qing didn't know that the troublemaker above him could be so sentimental.

"If you ask me, the school is too used to these little things." He touched the red mark on his forehead, put on protective clothing on his body, and shouted angrily: "After all, we are the masters of the campus, and we were killed by a squirrel. It’s so embarrassing to say that you smashed your head!”

"Since you know it's embarrassing, don't nag." Fatty Xin warned earnestly, and at the same time he struggled to stretch his two stubby arms behind him.

"Let me help you." Zheng Qing sighed, stretched out his hand, and helped Fatty Xin tighten the belt behind the protective suit.

"When can we dress like professors?" Fatty Xin looked at the professor standing at the door of Baicao Garden with envy, his tone full of expectation.

Zheng Qing stood behind him, curling his lips quietly without making a sound.

A few minutes ago, Professor Li Qihuang demonstrated how to put on protective clothing for these young freshmen.

"Before entering the park, you must change into work clothes." The professor pointed to the heavy leather coats in the large wooden box at his feet and explained to the students:

"The protective clothing provided by the school working committee for the gardeners is a one-piece dragon skin coat, which is tanned with the first layer of back skin of the Welsh green dragon. It is strong, tough and has strong protective power. It can block various poisonous spore plants and pests in the garden. ”

"In addition, this kind of leather jacket is impervious to cold and heat, and has good adaptability to the environment. It is perfect in an environment like Baicao Garden."

"You must remember that this is not an outing, but you are about to enter a magical new world!"

While he was talking, Professor Li pulled out a set of large khaki leather coats from the box. He flicked his fingers on the collar a few times, and the seemingly bulky clothes were nimbly put on Professor Li's skinny body.

Then, the belts around the waist, wrists, and back automatically snaked, tightened, and buckled tightly together.

But when the freshmen happily poked at their collars with their fingers, these leather jackets didn't move at all.

"Stop poking, there are no spells etched on the collars." Xiao Xiao adjusted his glasses, carefully looked at the shiny collars, and shook his head: "The spell you taught me just now should have been used by yourself."

"I really want to learn this spell." Zheng Qing was filled with joy when he thought that his dream of lying on the bed and getting dressed would come true.

"Only those who take elective life courses have the opportunity to learn this kind of dressing spell." Zhang Jixin looked at those guys poking their collars with their fingers mockingly, struggled to put on protective clothing on his body, and added in a sullen voice: "Of course , If you are more talented, you can also find the corresponding textbook in the library and learn this spell by yourself. "

After putting on protective clothing, Zheng Qing inserted the short-handled shovel into the leather bag at his side, wore hard leather gloves tanned with the back skin of a five-color deer, held the brass watering can given to him by the teacher, and lined up Get ready to enter the garden.

At the front of the team, Professor Li was still chattering:

"The magic circle covering Baicao Garden is attached to the school's defensive formation, and it is very exquisitely designed."

"You must know that each herbal medicine has its own origin, unique preferences and characteristics. It is not possible to dig a hole, bury some soil, and count 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 to grow authentic medicinal materials with standard medicinal efficacy. ”

"Pogongospermum prefers shade, Platycodon grandiflorum prefers sun, Lilacia lilac prefers the shade of a tree in the sun, and Eggplant fern prefers the phosphorescence in a hole in the ground. Different plants have different light requirements."

"Alpine snowdrops like clean water, five pear dragons like salt water, peat moss likes the smelly water of swamps, and multi-branched willows like dry Gobi or deserts. Different plants have different water requirements."

"Lightning reed likes thunder and lightning, Mimosa likes silence, Penglai banana must grow in heavy mist, and Sniper taro prefers a noisy environment in the morning and a quiet environment at night. Many plants also have very strict environmental requirements. "

“The most troublesome thing is that some plants live alone, and no grass can grow as far as their roots go; some plants like to live in groups, and will automatically wither if the number of plants falls below a certain number; and some plants must grow on another plant, such as oak trees. Parasite and oak.”

"So, if you step into the Baicao Garden with thunder, drizzle, swamp, or desert, don't panic. These are all environments adjusted for those delicate plants."

Before finally entering, Professor Li still worried about making a three-part agreement with everyone:

"When you enter the garden: first, listen to the teacher's instructions; second, don't move; third, obey the teacher's instructions and don't move!"

"Now, in order, don't rush, come one by one."

“Spread ashes before you enter.”

Professor Li grabbed a bunch of lit incense and distributed it among the students. He warned: "When spreading the ashes, don't use too much force. It doesn't matter even if the ashes fall on your shoulders or hair. This is not a spell, it is just an ancient custom... …If you throw it too hard, it will be thrown in the faces of the students behind you.”

There was a burst of cheerful laughter from the crowd.

It's Zheng Qing's turn.

He took the incense stick handed to him by the professor, inserted it into the incense burner in front of the shrine in the gate of Baicao Garden, clasped his hands together, and prayed a few words silently. When I opened my eyes, the incense stick had burned out.

Then he picked up a cluster of incense ash, threw it gently over his left shoulder, took a deep breath, and stepped into the garden.
