Monster Hunting High School

It’s different from what most people think of hunting.

Spring hunting in Shanglinyuan is much more 'civilized'.

The young wizards who participated in the spring hunting did not need to wear cumbersome hunting attire and hunt down monsters in the hunting grounds with unkempt appearance for several days, nor did they need to carry knives to cut the magic materials on Fu Dou and Song Snake.

The spring hunting in Shanglinyuan is more like an elegant practical assessment.

After the hunters sign up, they go on stage one by one, draw a bamboo scroll, and then complete the requirements on the bamboo scroll within the specified time - it may be a spell, a potion, a talisman, or a magic circle.

The high-ranking wizards from many aristocratic families will serve as the referees of the hunting club, and they will jointly rate the performance of each hunter, and the total score will be used as the first round ranking standard.

Then the hunting club will prepare a suitable prey for each hunter according to the ranking. In addition to slaughtering his own prey with his own hands, the hunter also needs to divide the harvest into three parts and divide them into just the right 'sacrifice' and 'banquet' The three parts of collecting and storing are called "three grades" or "three kills", which are taken from the Book of Changes "64, Regret for Death, Field Gains for Three Grades".

The third round is a 'challenge'. Hunters who are not satisfied with the rankings in the first two rounds can choose any hunter ranked in front of them to challenge. Each person can only challenge once, and each person can only be challenged once.

After three rounds, the one with the highest score is the final winner of the Spring Hunt and can receive a badge of ‘Shanglinyuan Star’.

"... Generally speaking, the spring hunting competition in Shanglin Garden is not very strong, and the feeling of leisure is more heavy." Jiang Yu held the wizard's arm in one hand and held a glass of apple juice in the other, with a hint of annoyance in his tone: " I have always felt that this kind of hunting party is like children playing house, but adults always enjoy it. I really don’t know what they are thinking about every day.”

"Why don't I think it's simple?"

Zheng Qing followed the witch step by step, with a sad look on his face: "People like me will definitely not be able to tell the difference between the 'Third Grade' in the second round... This is a sacrificial skill that only wizards like you from aristocratic families need to master. "

Jiang Yu suddenly fell silent when he heard this.

This year's spring hunt will be held at Crescent Lake in Shanglin Garden.

The lake is shaped like a crescent moon, hence its name.

When Zheng Qing and Jiang Yu came to the lake, the outward-curved lake shore was already filled with young wizards. They gathered in twos and threes, looking across the narrow water to the other side, waiting for the spring hunt to officially begin.

On the other side of the lake, on the side that curves inward, is an abrupt and towering stone mountain. The mountain shape is not steep, and many vague figures can be vaguely seen between the overlapping cliffs. Above the cliff is a piece of rolling clouds and mist, which is similar to In the sky above Luolongyan, Zheng Qing guessed that this stone mountain should be an important node of the Shanglinyuan Secret Realm's protective array. If this stone mountain was broken, the entire secret realm might immediately appear in front of the world.

He was shocked and shook his head vigorously, not knowing why such a bad thought came to his mind.

"What?" Jiang Yu immediately noticed the movements of the boy next to him.

"No, it's nothing." Zheng Qing forced a smile and pointed to the stone mountain on the other side: "I mean, that mountain looks so strange... Are those people standing on the mountainside the judges of Spring Hunting? "

The witch looked carefully and shook her head slightly.

"No, most of the guests who should be watching the ceremony are elders of various families or external envoys invited." As she spoke, she pointed vaguely at the foot of the stone mountain: "According to convention, the referee should be in front of the performance stage. , this way you can see more clearly, and it is also easier to rescue... Even if the competition is not fierce, hunters who overestimate their capabilities and get injured by magic backfire or are injured by the prey's counterattack will appear every year. As for this mountain..."

She raised her head and looked from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain where the clouds and mist disappeared.

"The name of this mountain is 'Lishan'. The origin of the name is unknown."

She narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she was possessed by Xiao Xiao, and her voice was low but measured: "There are many jade stones in the south of Lishan Mountain and madder grass in the north of the mountain. The specialty of the mountain is a magical creature called 'Rhino Canal', which looks like a cow and is blue-grey." The fur sounds like a baby crying, the blood can be used to prepare magical ink, and the fur can be used to tan high-level talisman paper; there is also a koel dog, which looks like a hyena, with patterns like fish scales on its legs, a long tail, and no skin on its body. There is a tuft of bristle-like bristles on the back of the neck, which is a good material for making talisman pens... Since this year's venue is chosen here, I think it is very likely that we will encounter them in the second round of 'Third Grade'. Well, I am now Let me tell you the key points when dividing these two creatures..."

A gentle breeze blew across the lake, and Zheng Qing seemed to really hear a baby crying from the mountains.

"Xiao Yuyu, this way!"

A cheerful greeting came from not far away.

The two stopped immediately, followed the sound, and saw a beautiful witch wearing a pink robe with a ponytail, and an emerald green owl standing on her shoulder.

She was waving to Jiang Yu with a smile on her face. Standing with her were several other witches. They were all tall and good-looking. Standing together, people immediately felt like their eyes were brightening and the spring breeze was blowing on their faces. Feel.

Without saying a word, Jiang Yu turned slightly and took Zheng Qing in another direction.

"Who is it?" Zheng Qing was a little curious.

"I didn't see clearly," the witch replied with a straight face and a somewhat bad attitude: "Maybe he is someone he knows."

The word 'maybe' is used very interestingly.

The wizard obediently pulled his hood, hiding his face more tightly. Whether it was an illusion or not, he felt that the witches just looked at him a few more times.

Illusion, this is definitely an illusion, he warned himself in his heart.

…

…

"Why did she run away?" The waving pink-robed witch looked in disbelief. She looked at her hands, then at Jiang Yu's retreating back, then turned her head and looked at her companions blankly.

"Who is next to her?" Another witch in white robe narrowed her eyes and asked softly.

"have no idea."

"It seems like a wizard?"

"Is she in love? I didn't hear her mention it during the Chinese New Year?"

"So, did she run away because she was shy?"

"Is Jiang Yu still shy? It's so strange!"

"You are also at First University. Don't you know whether she is in love or not?"

"The First University is so big and the four colleges are so far apart. Who would pay attention to this kind of thing? It's only been a few years since you graduated. Have you forgotten the ways of the nerds in Jiuyou College?"

The witches were busy discussing, and the melodious voices and silver bell-like laughter were intertwined, causing the wizards around to look back frequently, as if they wanted to get acquainted, but due to poor manners, they were not allowed to attend the hunting party right away. How to disturb others in the first place.

In spring hunting grounds, the air is filled with the smell of hormones.
