Monster Hunting High School

"…Then there are the magical creatures of the Mandrillidae family."

Xiao Xiao's gaze crossed the edge of the barrier held up by the six-pointed star magic circle and landed deep in the forest submerged by the wind and snow. He squinted his eyes and raised his hand to adjust his glasses:

"The Kingdom of Magical Creatures, the Phylum Chordata, the Class Mammalia, and the Primate Order Mandrillidae all have very rich subordinate genera and species, and most of them will emit laughter similar to humans."

"For example, Xiaoyang of the genus Anthropidae is a subgenus of humanoid, also known as 'mountain spirit'. It has a human shape, grows up, has a black face, has hair on its body, and its feet are turned on its heels. It smiles when it sees people. Xiong is called Shanzhang, The female is Shan Gu.”

"Another subgenus of the genus Gui, the subgenus Gui. The representative species is the mandrill, which is three to four feet long, covered in green, has bleeding eyes, and can spit fire from its mouth."

"I remember, doesn't Jiang Mandrill look like a bird?"

The fat wizard tilted his head and glanced back at the doctor, excited to catch the doctor's oversight: "I mean, doesn't it look like a swallow?"

"That's a mandrill, not a mandrill."

Xiao Xiao glanced at him, as if he didn't know anything, and explained patiently: ""Xuanzhu Secret Language" says, 'There is a bird as big as a magpie, with a black body and fleshy wings, a head like a swallow, and a long hairy tail. "Flood Disaster" refers to the mandrill, which is also considered a genus of mandrill, but it likes floating corpses but doesn't like to laugh. It screams like a baby. It must have nothing to do with those guys in the forest, so I won't mention it. "

boom!

The captain of the Exoneration Hunting Team raised his hand and fired a shot in the air. The pale yellow talisman pierced the wind and snow, and the spiral magic power spread downwards. In an instant, a thin transparent barrier was built with the hunting team's battle formation as the center, isolating the howling wind and snow.

The whole world immediately felt refreshed and cleaner.

"Don't interrupt, let the doctor speak!"

Zheng Qing scolded the fat wizard with a straight face, and then looked around: "Others, check their respective law books, talismans, and emergency potions... Pay attention to all directions and report any abnormalities immediately!"

The fat man shrugged his shoulders, blue energy flashed across his body, his whole body immediately swelled up, and he was ready to look into the depths of the forest.

Xiao Xiao paused and continued to play with the calculations in his hands. After a moment, he spoke again slowly: "...Another example is the man-bear belonging to the Mandrill family. It has long hair, reverse heels, sharp claws, and big lips. It dances and laughs before eating people. It is common in Guangdong and Guangxi. Some people say that it is actually an orangutan, but this is actually a misunderstanding. "

"Another example is the 'Shanxi' of the heteromorphic genus of the family Mandrillidae. It has a ferocious appearance and can transform. It talks and laughs with people under the happy moon. The ancients said, 'There are wooden guests in the mountains. Their bodies are all human, but the birds have claws and ears.' It is called a 'one-legged ghost'. It is called 'Terang' after its transformation, and its shape is uncertain, with various forms such as half cat and half ghost, one-legged child, short tail and wings."

"We are in the daytime now, so the 'Mountain Smell' can be excluded; the 'Man-Bear' is a second-level protected creature of the alliance and will not appear in the hunting grounds, so it can be excluded; as for the 'Xiaoyang', they come in and out in pairs, but I I just heard five different kinds of laughter, so that possibility is ruled out.”

Several more chips fell one after another.

The pictures floating in front of the fortune teller were shattered one after another, turning into hazy hazy mist and quietly dissipating in the battle formation.

"So, that leaves only one last possibility."

After hearing these words, Zheng Qing couldn't help but look at the last picture - it was a short, stooped, ape-like creature, but wearing a red hat on its head.

"There is a kind of mandrill in eastern Fujian and Zhejiang. It wears a red hat. Because they can become invisible with their hats, they are also called 'red hats'... In order to distinguish them from the Celtic red hat elves in Europe, "Encyclopedia" "Its official scientific name is 'red-hatted mandrill'."

When Zheng Qing heard the name, he suddenly found it interesting. He raised his elbow and touched Jiang Yu. He gestured with his eyes, raised his hand to touch the red hood on his head, and then winked at Xiao Xiao.

The witch knew immediately what he wanted to express and couldn't help but smile.

The apologetic fortune teller was particularly sensitive to sights full of malice. He glanced at his captain with a blank expression, and said without any fluctuation in his voice: "...this kind of 'red hat mandrill' likes to drink and often goes down the mountain to farmers' homes. It steals wine and likes to laugh while drinking, with a sound like cracked bamboo... If its hat is lost, it will make a cry-like laugh, just like some of the laughter we hear now... But If a mandrill that has lost its hat finds a new 'red hat', it will burst into joyful laughter, just like another part of the laughter we hear..."

"Oh! So that's it!"

The fat wizard touched his red hood, with a hint of confusion in his voice, but then curiously asked: "What if they can't find the red hood?"

Xiao Xiao carefully played with the calculations in front of him, and replied without raising his head: "Then just find birch bark or children's hakama cloth to make a hat yourself... As for the color, they prefer the red dyed with blood. …”

"Out!"

Zhang Jixin yelled with a thick voice, calling everyone's attention: "I saw three heads... one of them was wearing a red hat... it does look a bit like an ape... What should I do, just cut them into pieces with a strong wind spell?"

Casting a strong wind spell on a windy and snowy day can achieve twice the result with half the effort and is extremely effective.

"Don't waste magic power on this little monster. The investment is large, the output is small, and the cost-effectiveness ratio is too high. Moreover, the red hat is a relatively mild mandrill. Even if the black tide comes, it will not cause much harm to Beta Town. On the contrary, They will prey on pests such as armyworms, scarabs, and rice borers, which are more beneficial to the forest.”

Xiao Xiao rejected the red-faced wizard's suggestion, and his eyes wandered over his companions for a moment, and finally landed on Zheng Qing: "...I remember how many robes you have on you to change? Give me one."

Zheng Qing guessed what he was thinking. He reached into the gray cloth bag and pulled out the oldest robe from the camphor wood box. He threw it to the diviner and muttered at the same time: "The fat man's robe is bigger than mine. Why?" Don’t use his?”

Xiao Xiao did not answer this obvious question.

But the fat wizard replied in a rough voice: "You are the captain of the hunting team, and you are rich. If you don't set an example, are you going to exploit poor members like us?"

Zheng Qing was determined not to waste time with the fat man on such a topic.

He looked at Xiao Xiao.

I saw the short wizard unfolding his Dharma book in the snow, choosing a blank bamboo slip, and then a small green quill jumped out of his pocket, leaving a string of concise words on the bamboo slip. Cropped mantra style.

Then, Xiao Xiao stretched out his finger, pressed at the end of the spell, and whispered:

"Xiaodong Dadong, Zhuyou (zhu zhuo) is empty!"
