Monster Hunting High School

Ghouls are a very traditional and classic magical creature in the wizarding world. They exist in the settlements of many wizards and even white people.

Ghouls in the traditional sense - such as Europa Ghouls and Arabian Ghouls - have wild dog-like cheeks, huge fangs, emaciated bodies and fishy smells. Some powerful ghouls also have simple transformations. The ability to transform into a hyena or similar creature.

This is a magical creature that although looks evil, is not very dangerous.

This is also easy to understand from another perspective. If they are really dangerous, they will not be reduced to the point of living on the corpses of other creatures or even carrion. Their fear is more due to their death-hungry habits of being in contact with death for a long time, which makes them affected by the breath of death and gives them a terrifying appearance.

Ghouls are not very intelligent and live in groups. They like to hide in dark and damp corners. If they cannot find a corpse, they will also hunt spiders, moths and frogs for food. Old-school wizards often keep ghouls near their homes to scare and drive away those who accidentally approach their homes.

Unlike traditional ghouls, although they are both nocturnal humanoid creatures that eat scavengers, the ghouls in the dreamland evolved into something due to the existence of the ghoul king Mordiggian and the abyss lord Nodens. A more advanced magical creature - they have a religious organization, can use a language made up of simple words that sounds like chirping, can freely travel back and forth between the dreamland and the cemetery in the real world, and even Team up with the Dire to form an army and complete some complex tactics.

These subtle but significant changes make the ghouls in the dreamland look more like 'humans'.

More importantly, there is sufficient research evidence to show that through some evil magical rituals, Baiding and ordinary wizards may be transformed into this kind of ghoul - in a sense, this is a kind of corruption similar to that of lich Behavior.

Therefore, the relationship between the wizarding world and the ghouls has always been cold.

Therefore, ghouls - without a doubt - become dark magical creatures between lichs and murlocs. They are evil enough, but not dangerous enough to be monsters.

This special status makes them one of the best 'partners' for young wizards during their training.

The ghoul that now appears in front of the Exoneration Hunting Team is a standard dreamland ghoul - it walks upright on two legs, leaning forward slightly, and its gelatinous skin glows under the gloomy sky. Their bronze-like color and slender dog-like ears make them look like distant relatives of goblins or goblins, but their sharp teeth and sharp claws make them appear more dangerous.

While sending Blue Sparrow and Dylan to attack the ghoul in a twisted formation, the remaining three hunters of the Forgiveness Hunting Team carefully formed a small three-person formation and continuously released detection magic to search for traces of other prey.

But contrary to Zheng Qing's expectation, no second ghoul could be found within the magic detection range.

"What the hell?"

Zheng Qing frowned, puzzled: "At least there are five of us...even if we are at first grade level, we won't send just one ghoul!"

While he was talking, the ghoul in the distance had already rushed to the street, and was easily stabbed through the heart by Blue Bird's sword. The whole process was as relaxing as an outing.

This made Zheng Qing feel as if he had accumulated strength for a long time and then punched cotton.

"Everything has a gradual process." In contrast, Zhang Jixin, who is usually anxious, unexpectedly behaved very calmly: "Perhaps this is a stage for us to adapt to the hunting competition... Taking 10,000 steps back, if we only need to kill one head The Ghoul can advance to the finals, and we won’t lose.”

"That situation can't happen." Zheng Qing immediately shook his head in denial.

Dylan gestured to the back, tied the dead ghoul with a binding spell, and dragged it back. The blue bird patrols the outside, maintaining a certain warning range.

"What are you dragging it back for?" Zheng Qing looked at the ugly body in the loess and complained, "Are you going to collect some moss from its skin?"

Living in a dark environment all year round, ghouls have a layer of mottled moss growing on their skin, which they contracted in the cemetery when foraging for food. This moss has a very good therapeutic effect on corpse gas and other similar symptoms. There are only a few magical materials worth collecting on the ghouls.

If Fatty Xin were here, it would be reasonable to collect those moss, but Zheng Qing didn't think Dylan, who was born in the Yuexia noble family, had such a need.

"Just in case." Mr. Vampire Werewolf replied cautiously, without further explanation.

The captain of the Exoneration Hunting Team raised his eyebrows.

At this moment, Xiao Xiao, who had been paying attention to the surrounding environment, suddenly said:

"coming!"

A thin layer of light rose from the crystal ball in his arms. In the light, two ghouls could be seen clearly, crawling on all fours, approaching the Exoneration Hunting Team like wild dogs.

This time, without Zheng Qing having to say anything, the blue bird that had been patrolling the perimeter used its flying sword to smash the hearts of the two ghouls. Then Dylan summoned vines and dragged the two loot back.

Moments later, a third wave of ghouls struck, this time four.

Then there is Batou.

Then there are sixteen heads.

After five waves of attacks, the initial relief on Zheng Qing's face was completely gone. The corpses of more than thirty ghouls were piled up in front of the Exoneration Hunting Team, lying in a mess, like a hill.

"According to this rule, we can assume that every time we defeat a ghoul, the number of opponents will increase exponentially, which means that it won't be long before we face an overwhelming swarm of ghouls."

The fortune teller who forgives the crime concluded: "...So the puppet man said that the longer you persist, the greater the chance of victory, that's what it means...Other hunting teams should also face this situation."

"I'd rather have them play all at once." Dylan looked at his trophies and sighed.

"What if we extend the response time?" A flash of inspiration flashed in Zheng Qing's mind and he immediately proposed: "What if we deal with the next wave slowly... Well, there should be thirty-two ghouls in the next wave... delay A few hours...that’s a long time, right?”

Dylan glanced at the young public-funded student with admiration and patted his shoulder: "No wonder you are the captain and I am just a wage earner... Most people are embarrassed to think of such a shameless plan."

Zheng Qing felt his cheeks heat up slightly and laughed twice: "How is it?"

"You can try," Xiao Xiao adjusted his glasses: "But I don't think the school will put such a big bug in the rules... There aren't that many stupid people in the student union."

"That's not necessarily true... Stupid rules are usually made by smart people."

Zhang Jixin rarely said a few beautiful words: "Because they are too smart and forget that most of the world is stupid, so the rules they make are not suitable for stupid people but only suitable for smart people... Then those rules look stupid in the eyes of most people." ”
