Monster Hunting High School

The Silent River meanders around the entire Silent Forest, with countless forks and branches. Entering it is like entering a huge waterway maze. Without a guide, no one knows where the ferry will go next.

Especially this forest also breeds all kinds of magical creatures.

There are ugly tree spirits, charming goblins, well-known horned dragons, fire dragons, unicorns, fire phoenixes, basilisks, ghouls, etc., as well as lesser-known ghosts, fish wives, roe owls, roe deer, and deer. Shu, Shusi, Gudiao, etc. are countless. It can be said that almost all magical creatures with names in the wizarding world can be seen in this forest.

In a sense, the Silent Forest is more like a biological laboratory opened by First University.

As the main water source in the great forest, the Silent River gathers a large number of magical creatures. So the dangers of traveling there are obvious, and the role of a good boatman and a good ferry boat is also self-evident.

Although the ferry boat is small, there is something special inside.

Within hundreds of steps in the cabin, there are warm ovens, comfortable soft chairs, delicious snacks, and delicious drinks. You feel like you are in a lively salon. In addition, there are two tall floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides of the cabin. Standing in the windows and looking out, the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Silent River can be clearly seen.

The river flows peacefully just one step away. The lush trees on the left and right banks firmly block the cold wind, and the water surface is as calm as a mirror. Only the gentle sunlight can penetrate the conservative forest and send the dappled warmth into this dark world.

But for Zheng Qing, this comfort seemed out of reach.

Irina stayed with her fellow gypsy witches, chatting and laughing, making him restless. He wanted to come forward, but he was thin-skinned and worried about being laughed at by those gypsy witches; he pretended not to see it, but was ridiculed by the doctor and the fat man.

Faced with the dilemma, he simply left the cabin and came to the deck.

Compared with the dinghy boat, the deck of the ferry boat is much wider and can accommodate several people standing on it. It also allows passengers to lie on the side of the boat and look out.

On the bamboo pole lifted from the bow of the boat, a golden copper bell hung, swaying in the cold wind. The jingling bells repel approaching magical creatures and ensure the safety of the ferry to a certain extent.

Old man Bernard Shaw stood at the bow of the boat, with several bamboo baskets at his feet. In the bamboo basket are several green buffaloes, the size of a palm, lying peacefully at the bottom of the basket for a nap. Next to the buffalo, there are a few small silver-white fish, several inches long and short, with pointed heads and round tails, but I don’t know what species they are.

The side of the ferry boat was very low. After crossing the dark and smooth side of the boat, the young wizard put his hand into the cool river water and leisurely played with the water, making ripples. Just like his mood at the moment, it would be difficult to calm down for a long time.

"Snapped!"

The bamboo pennant came out across the water, with a trace of afterimage, and lightly patted the back of Zheng Qing's hand, making him grin and subconsciously withdraw his hand from the river.

"Don't put your hands into the water, or you may get your fingers bitten off." The old man George Bernard Shaw gave the young wizard a warning look, as if aware of his indifferent attitude. The old boatman smiled, picked up his bamboo pole, and lifted it from the fish basket. He picked out a small silver-white fish and held it in mid-air from a distance.

The tip of the fish tail touched the water surface gently, and ripples spread out in circles, spreading far across the calm waters.

Zheng Qing's eyes widened.

The old boatman stopped the wind chimes hanging on the bow of the boat and looked down at the wizard, "Don't look at the water being so quiet... there are many ferocious beasts in the water!"

Before he finished speaking, a black shadow suddenly jumped out of the water and rushed towards the silver-white prey.

The old man Bernard Shaw shook his wrist slightly and jumped up with the bamboo pole in his hand. The small silver fish hanging on the top of the pole immediately flew out and swung to a higher place with the tip of the pole, letting the black fish jump out of the water. The shadow flew away.

The black shadow swung its head and tail vigorously, and jumped three to five meters in the air. However, it was eventually defeated by the force of gravity and failed to bite the bait. It slammed back into the river, creating a big splash.

This splash was like a starting gun, shattering the tranquility in the river.

Figures, big or small, scrambled out of the water, fighting for the small silvery fish. These ferocious beasts in the water are only a dozen centimeters in size, about the same size as that small silver-white fish; they are several meters in size, almost as big as this ferry boat. Each one has a ferocious face and sharp fangs, which looks very scary.

The passengers in the cabin noticed the movement outside, and when they went out to check, they happened to see a variety of aquatic creatures crackling and falling into the water like dumplings. The witches screamed and the wizards were amazed.

Zheng Qing glanced at the familiar pretty figure among the people who had escaped from the cabin, and immediately closed his mouth that had been opened in shock. At the same time, he folded his arms and put on an expression of indifference on his face, staring at the restless water surface absentmindedly.

"What just happened?" Elena's curious voice sounded in Zheng Qing's ears.

The young public-funded student turned his head as he wished, and explained the situation succinctly in a calm tone - out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Fatty Xin seemed to be planning to move closer to him, but was dragged back by Xiao Xiao. .

This made the wizard extremely satisfied, and he made up his mind to treat the doctor to a chicken leg after getting off the boat.

A half-foot-long strange fish with a head that occupies half of its body and a mouth full of fangs did not grasp its direction properly when it fell from the air. It landed on the ferry deck with a 'splat', just not far in front of Elena. .

The witch screamed softly and subconsciously took a step back. Zheng Qing had no time to take out the book of magic and kicked the strange fish back into the river. Then he calmed down and looked at Elena, "Are you okay?"

The gypsy witch pressed her chest and seemed to be in shock. She did not speak, but shook her head slightly.

Old man Bernard Shaw's gruff reminder sounded next to him.

"This is just a piece of silver bait, and it didn't hook any big guys." The old boatman knocked the side of the boat with his pole, making a crackling sound, and threatened, "If you reckless little guys fall into the water, I won't even be able to do it in time." Poke you with a pole, and you won’t even have any bones left... Those gluttonous little wizards in the water like thin skin and tender meat the most.”

Zheng Qing looked at the water with lingering fear, recalling the huge mouth and sharp teeth of the fish on the deck just now, and he believed what the old boatman said.

"What you are doing is not in compliance with the ferry operating regulations." At the hatch of the boat, Dr. Xiao Da questioned what the old boatman had just done.

Old man Bernard Shaw tilted his head and glanced at Xiao Xiao.

"I thought you would like this kind of little show." The old man blinked and kicked his foot on the bamboo pole inserted diagonally at the bow of the boat. The golden copper bell hanging on the top of the pole swayed, and a tinkling sound suddenly sounded on the water surface.

The hunters who emerged from the water panicked, dived into the water one after another, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The Silent River became silent again.
