"Be liberal, gentleman, this is just a hunting match."
The excusing captain comforted today's coolies and encouraged: "The school just wants to help us have a deeper understanding of the world outside the ivory tower..."
"Learning magic knowledge that you have never been exposed to before is helpful, and sharing understanding of the rules is also helpful." The vampire werewolf lazily raised his hand and flicked away a ghoul's eyeball that rolled to his feet: "As for these things...
…It’s just an idea that the big guys in the student union came up with, and it doesn’t help us at all!”
"It can't be said that it's not helpful at all... at least it has some effect on training practical ability." Zhang Jixin shook his head, raised a small cup of light blue liquid and asked: "Would you like another cup?"
What he was holding was the magic potion that Xiao Xiao had just concocted.
"No, thank you." Dylan has recovered some of the politeness of the nobles under the moon: "The doctor's potion is very powerful, and my entire jaw is numb now..."
"Then you can still speak?" Xiao Xiao glanced at him.
"It's not me who's talking, but my conscience." Mr. Vampire Werewolf replied without changing his face, then brought the topic to Zheng Qing: "...What do you want to do?"
The captain of the Exoneration Hunting Team was holding up his Remington shotgun covered with 'marks', aiming back and forth in the distance, as if he would shoot in the next second.
"I want to see if those tombstones are really that strong." Zheng Qing squinted one eye and answered honestly.
"Ordinary spell bullets will most likely have no effect." The red-faced wizard who had just punched the tombstone a few times had a say in this matter. He rubbed his chin and said with uncertainty: "... As for the special
Talisman bombs... I remember that the Hunting Committee seems to have prohibited you from using them?"
What answered him was a crisp gunshot.
A streak of reddish light flashed from the muzzle of the gun and fell on a tall tombstone in the distance, making a dull crashing sound, as if a huge rock fell on the big bronze bell of Hanshan Temple, stirring up the dust on the ground.
There was a clear circle of earth waves, and in the air, the visible magic ripples could not subside for a long time.
call!
The young public finance minister let out a sigh of relief and then replied: "There is no violation of the rules. The ordinary evil-repelling bullets used... do not seem to have any effect."
The tombstone did not move at all under the wizard's rune bullet attack.
Zheng Qing put away the rune gun and was just about to sit down and take a breather. Xiao Xiao, who was holding a crystal ball next to him, suddenly straightened up: "Wow... I can't say it's ineffective... This is probably what it looks like when you poke a hornet's nest."
The crystal ball in his arms was shining with a dazzling red light. Zheng Qing knew that every red light on it represented a ghoul, and now, those red lights were connected into one.
He raised his head and saw that the tombstone he had just hit had grown slightly larger. The withered yellow hole under the tombstone was stained black by the smelly blood of the ghoul, like open black throats, and like a
Black blood vessels full of unclean smell.
At this moment, groups of ghouls poured out of the open black throats like a tide, and their chirping roars overlapped and resounded throughout the entire hunting ground.
Without Zheng Qing's order, the entire hunting team suddenly started to move as if their buttocks had been burned by fire, going from extremely still to extremely moving in just an instant.
This time, Lan Que and Zhang Jixin did not choose to break away from the battle formation and go deep into the ghouls to hunt alone. Instead, they followed Zheng Qing's gestures and honestly stood in their respective positions and launched a standard four-elephant battle formation.
Dylan was still guarded in the center of the battle formation, controlling his group of corpses, and took the lead to greet them.
Five hundred versus two thousand and forty-eight.
Even if the extra 'fragments' of nearly fifty heads were not taken into account, there was still a desperate gap between the two sides. This gap was clearly reflected in just three minutes after the zombies came into contact with the ghouls.
Groups of ghouls no longer need any tactics or skills. They only need to swarm up, scratch and bite randomly, and easily tear apart the group of corpses in front of them.
"'Join the hunting team,' the elder said to me,"
Mr. Vampire Werewolf waved his arms numbly, but his eyes were not staring at his own corpses, but looking at the sky, his eyes seemed a bit hollow: "'You can gain fame and fortune easily!'"
He imitated the persuasive tone of his predecessors, and then changed the subject and said angrily: "...but they never mentioned that hunters need to deal with these stinky, slimy monsters like scavengers... Can you believe it? I am a vampire.
I’m actually starting to sweat now!”
"That's because the werewolf part of you is sweating." After the captain of the Exoneration Hunting Team emptied the talisman bullets in the magazine, he did not forget to turn around and comfort his comrade who was working the hardest.
"Continuously flowing! Continuously flowing!"
Mr. Vampire Werewolf's tone became more irritable because of the comfort: "I have lost most of my family members... We must retreat or change our tactics!"
"I've run out of talisman paper!" Xiao Xiao adjusted his glasses and added: "But there are still a few pieces of the formation disk, which can be used to arrange a protective magic circle..."
"My magic power is almost exhausted!" Zhang Jixin pulled at his glove and spat out a long white line.
Lan Que didn't speak, but he had already taken out a small whetstone and was carefully polishing the edge of the sword in his arms.
Zheng Qing gritted his teeth, with a ruthless look on his face.
"Give up the zombies!"
He signaled Dylan to change positions, and at the same time stuffed the Dharma book into his arms, holding two talisman guns in both hands, waving them fiercely: "It's just a bunch of bed bugs! No matter how many there are, they are just beans squeaking in the millstone.
!...Let’s see if they have rough skin and thick flesh, or if our magic is sharper!...The doctor sets up the formation! Others, change to the five-pointed star battle formation! Reduce the contact area...We will wear them out little by little!"
This change in tactics was very timely.
There were a total of two thousand and forty-eight ghouls in the twelfth round of attacks—theoretically this was the number, but the young wizards had no time to confirm it carefully—and were only consumed by Dylan's corpses before the actual close combat.
Less than a quarter fell.
The remaining more than 1,500 ghouls were spread out on the hunting ground, still completely dark.
It's just that the Forgiveness hunting team is protected by a magic circle outside and supported by a battle array inside, especially the latter. When the Forgiveness shrinks its formation, only a small part of the ghouls coming from all directions can fight the wizards head-on.
Xiao Xiao and Zheng Qing took turns to release the Chaos Curse and the Soft Leg Curse - these two commonly used magic spells are extremely flexible and can be prepared in a short time - to build a wide magical quagmire in front of the formation;
Zhang Jixin was like a rock, using his fist to smash back those ghouls that had passed through the quagmire of spells;
Bluebird and Dylan shuttled between the rocks and the quagmire, with ghostly figures, like spears and stingers, harvesting the lives of the ghouls one after another.
