Monster Hunting High School

Q: What are the common characteristics of extreme emotions such as joy, heartache, and shock?

The answer is - can't breathe.

Zheng Qing originally thought that only when he faced Su Shijun, he would be shocked by her amazing beauty and unable to breathe. But now, seeing Jiang Yu standing pretty in the night, he realized with surprise and relief that he seemed to have found the same feeling again when he faced Su Shijun who took off his glasses for the first time.

Even without a mirror, he knew that his face must be extremely red now.

He believed that the witch opposite must have also received the emotion bursting from his heart. Otherwise, why would she rush over the moment she saw him?

In the flash of lightning, a series of thoughts flashed through the wizard's heart. He has even begun to consider what kind of mental shock hugging the witch in front of everyone would bring to his companions.

Then.

The next second.

boom!

Jiang Yu, who was flying over, put her hands on his chest, pushed forward heavily, and pushed him straight into the tree hole opened under the decayed oak, which was the entrance to Quan Ke Laiwei City.

Zheng Qing felt like the world was spinning, and his chest seemed to be blocked by the witch's hard push, making him breathless. And the strange thing is that it was his arm that clearly brushed against the gap in the tree hole, but it was his neck that hurt.

The sides of the neck looked like they had been cut with knives.

He subconsciously raised his hand to touch his neck, and felt a cold and slippery patch. Then his fingertips touched the two narrow cracks under his ears, and they were trying to open and close them in the air——

call--

suck--

Snapped!

The wizard fell heavily into the tree hole. Although they are only one step away, the world inside and outside the tree cave is completely different. If outside the tree cave is a dry desert, then inside the tree cave is Cherrapunji in the rainy season. The abundant water vapor rushes towards you, making you feel as if you will suck in a large amount of water when you open your mouth.

The sour feeling on the back of Zheng Qing's cheek quickly subsided, replaced by a cool and refreshing feeling that came from the bottom of his heart. The fingertips that were still resting on the crack under the ear felt the slight rise and fall with breathing. Only then did Zheng Qing realize that he couldn't breathe just now because of the effect of the gill grass.

This made him frustrated and a little embarrassed for no reason.

"Why are you still standing outside after you ate gillweed?"

The person who followed him into the tree hole was Jiang Yu. She frowned slightly and looked at the wizard reproachfully: "——If I didn't see fish gills slowly growing on your face just now, are you planning to directly Fainted in front of me?"

After the seemingly substantial water vapor in the cave surged in front of the witch, it seemed to be split open by an invisible sharp blade, forming a sharp, oval-shaped air bubble that enveloped her entirely.

Zheng Qing guessed that this was probably the effect of satang fruit.

He raised his arm, looked at the light blue finger webs that had appeared between his fingers at some point, and sighed heavily: "I didn't expect it either - it's all the doctor's fault, he was the one who gave me this cheek sac." Grass……"

"Hey, I just let you take a look, I didn't ask you to eat it immediately!"

Xiao Xiao, who had just gotten into the tree hole, had no time to adjust his glasses when he heard someone shirk responsibility. He immediately laughed without hesitation: "I don't know who heard it..."

"Is this the entrance to the fair this year? Why can't we see other guests?" Zheng Qing hurriedly spoke, interrupting the short wizard's counter-examination and looking around.

Fatty Xin kindly helped him out: "Oh, that's because we arrived too late. It should be a quarter of the time when Quan Ke Lai opens the market... most of the customers have already gone in."

"How long is the validity period of this gill grass?"

Zheng Qing quietly slipped to Xiao Xiao's side, calmed down, patted Dr. Xiao's shoulder, and then squeezed his shoulder blades, with a hint of threat in his tone: "——Don't let us just enter Wei City. After wandering around for a while, the gillweed loses its effectiveness.”

The doctor hissed a little and felt his mouth was full of water.

He raised his hand and pushed up his glasses to cover the twitching corners of his eyes.

"Well, this is the high-quality gill grass we prepared. It can be effective for more than three hours, which is more than enough for visiting the market." He wisely gave up provoking the guy next to him whose physical strength was getting more and more abnormal.

"Would you like to cast a head soaking spell? Sirs!"

A slightly unfamiliar and enthusiastic voice interrupted the interlude between the young wizards. Zheng Qing turned around and saw a large turtle with an extended neck slowly crawling towards the entrance of the cave. He smiled with a smile on his face: "Ten The copper can last for one night, and you are safe... Although there is no need for a head-soaking charm in the Wei market, the bulk goods stalls outside the Wei market are all in the water. It is absolutely impossible without a head-soaking charm. Moreover, I believe you. You should have heard that the legendary wizard of the school also recommends that guests entering the market should be fully prepared... Of course, if you feel that the head soaking spell is boring, we also provide gillweed or saton fruit here, absolutely It’s great value for money...but the bubble head spell is the easiest. Do you want to try it, sir?”

Zheng Qing felt that this turtle was as verbose as Tang Monk in a certain movie.

Not far behind the turtle, a pond about a mile in radius was bubbling with bubbles. The water vapor above the pond was filled with water, and the Naga spirit body holding a scimitar could be vaguely seen wandering above.

"No thanks."

Zheng Qing politely but firmly rejected Wu Gui’s promotion—just like he never buys anything at a train station or passenger terminal. This is the respect that people of his age have for the market.

"I remember that the entrance administrator last year was a... Mr. Goldfish?" Jiang Yu looked at the turtle curiously.

"The water tribe is very big, miss." The turtle said politely and tactfully.

"Ten copper coins are too expensive! Wasn't it only five copper coins last year?" Fatty Xin chewed the cheek sac grass he brought with him and complained loudly about the turtle's offer. He came to the market this time to sell silver grass, so he paid special attention to the market prices.

Zheng Qingze was surprised that his cheeks could accommodate so many movements at the same time.

"Market economy, sir, we in the water tribe market are most concerned about market economy!"

The turtle stretched his neck and defended seriously: "Last year, Zhu Yu grass sold for only one silver coin, but since the conflict between the vampires in Romania and the werewolves in Crimea, Zhu Yu grass has risen to three silver coins... Who can I go to for justice?"

Zhu Yu grass is a herb that will not make you hungry after eating it. It is often used by magic potion masters to refine fasting pills. Although it is native to Zhaoyao Mountain, the area with the largest production is now in the Dnieper River Basin.

Zheng Qing had not paid attention to the conflict between vampires and werewolves mentioned by the turtle. He thought it was just another outbreak of the centuries-old hatred between the two families.
