"I really want to sit in the stands right now, drinking soda and listening to music, and watching the people below panting and running around, covered in blood."
Luke, also known as the Heart Q left assistant hunter codenamed Moon Face, raised his head and glanced at the white clouds floating in the sky, as well as the vague shadows flashing behind the white clouds. He stood up and took off the paint on his hands.
The blood-stained disposable silkworm leather gloves were worn, and he sighed deeply.
"I've finished collecting them here." He turned his head and shouted to several other people.
He was talking about the cleanup work after the monster hunt.
As a very consumptive activity, if we rely solely on continuous active investment to promote monster hunting, it will be difficult to maintain the long-term interest of wizards. Only the continuous benefits brought by the prey can the continuation of monster hunting activities
The biggest guarantee so far - in comparison, the profits that can be obtained from organizing hunting matches are not valued by real wizards.
Just like the blood, flesh, and souls of wizards are excellent delicacies and fine tonics for demons.
The eyes, hearts, and demonized organs of demons are also the best experimental materials for wizards.
Over a long period of time, wizards have summed up countless ways to use these trophies. For example, ink blended with demon blood can better preserve the effects of runes and spells; fertilizers blended with demon bone powder can greatly promote the growth of magic plants.
; And those blood-red eyes and strong hearts have completely whitewashed various "black magic" that were originally widely criticized, such as divination magic and sacrificial magic, and have become compulsory content in the curriculum for senior students of First University.
Of course, in the hunting competition, the hunters can only select part of the demon's organization as their trophies. The rest will be collected by the hunting committee members as their profits.
In view of the contamination of demon flesh and blood and the tediousness of removing the skeleton, eyes and hearts have become hunters’ favorite trophies. Even now, most hunting competitions even use the number of eyes and hearts obtained by the hunting team as the only way to calculate points.
standard.
Luke stuffed the bloody silk-skin gloves into a garbage bag and shook the glass bottle in his hand.
The viscous liquid in the bottle made a gurgling sound, and the demon eyes soaked in the liquid were like tumbling hawthorns. They looked very delicious, which gave him an inexplicable appetite.
He suppressed this strange thought and turned to look at You Bi of the hunting team: "Tianjiao... I bet those guys above must have been shocked by the captain's fighting power just now."
This is the first time the captain has appeared in public since she broke through the limit of slashing. The wizard is convinced that today's battle will be another landmark event in the rise of the Queen of Hearts.
The wizard known as Prongs did not collect trophies like other hunters.
He was sitting cross-legged next to a huge red rock, grabbing a branch, patiently fiddling with a small pile of firewood in front of him, and carefully examining the beeping and crackling demon bones in the fire.
"No matter what...as the captain, her previous tactics were not advisable." Zhan Shichen murmured, frowning, as if he was a little confused about the results of the divination.
Luke glanced at Queen Joan, who was sitting on the back of the elk not far away. After the hunting team cleaned up the group of wild monsters, the strange-looking animal ran back again and continued to act as a foot support.
From Luke's point of view, this is a very wise choice. After all, there are hunting teams and demon swarms everywhere now, and it will be difficult for a grass-eating foursome to survive until the next sunrise if it acts alone.
"You can stop her now!" Hunter Zuofu showed a subtle smile on his face, looked at the wizard in front of the fire, and whispered: "You can definitely say that the results of the divination are very bad, and we need to go north as soon as possible... I think,
As long as we take down the monster group with strength 3 in the north, today's hunting match will be almost complete."
"That's because you ignored our trophies." Another tall and thin wizard walked over quickly and complained: "I have never seen such brutal methods... That poor goat's brains are spewing out.
One meter away! She smashed one of the eyes of the Wild Demon King. I feel that at least a demon group with a strength of 5 or above is needed to be sure of winning."
With that said, he handed the glass bottle in his hand to Hunter Zuofu.
Luke took the glass bottle, and sure enough, there was only one huge eyeball soaked in the liquid, which was in sharp contrast to the other petite eyes.
"Indeed...it's a pity." He sighed and stuffed the glass bottle into his pocket.
"How can a sharp... pointed fork make... a fire in the broad daylight?" A short, fat wizard stumbled over. While handing over the trophies he had collected, he whispered in a low voice: "I can see this from a long distance away.
Smoke..."
"Maybe he forgot to check the equipment yesterday and left the crystal ball and tarot cards in the dormitory." The tall and lanky wizard smiled nonchalantly.
"Big, Padfoot! This joke is not funny!" The short, fat wizard blushed anxiously: "Maybe while we were chatting, a circle of wild monsters came around!"
"Wouldn't that be just right! It would save us the trouble of looking for them everywhere!" The wizard known as Padfoot clapped his fingers and raised a disdainful smile at the corner of his mouth.
Next to you, You Bi seemed to be turning a deaf ear to the conversations of his companions. He was still staring intently at the burned and cracked bone fragments in front of him, with a gloomy look on his face.
"Is there something wrong?" Hunter Zuofu squatted down and put his head close to it.
As one of the outstanding students of Jiuyou Academy, although he is not very good at divination, he is not completely incompetent. It is just that he is not very good at grasping the direction of the subtle lines on bone fragments.
The fire in front of the fork has gradually extinguished, and among the black ashes, the cracks along the holes on the gray-white bone fragments have become increasingly clear.
A huge gap lies in the middle of the crack, like an ugly scar.
Even if he was no good at analyzing the direction of lines, Luke could still see the danger in the bone fragments.
"What are you predicting?" He couldn't help but ask.
Different divination targets naturally correspond to different divination results. Maybe Zhan Shichen was just looking at the situation of the wild monsters around him who had their hearts and eyes cut out and went to hell. He comforted himself in this way.
"Very bad, very bad." The fortune teller shook his head and rubbed his messy hair: "The result of the fortune telling is terrible."
Luke laughed dryly.
Although a few minutes ago, he had encouraged Prongs to use such rhetoric to reverse his captain's adventurous plan, it was obvious that Prongs' current remarks were sincere.
"What's so bad?"
"Is it the result of the hunting match, or is it our next opponent?"
The other two hunters couldn't help but ask.
"Divination shows that if we continue to go south, the captain will encounter great risks...the risk comes from our real enemy." The fortune teller grabbed his hair and thought hard: "According to the traces on the bone fragments, this 'real enemy' is not a demon...
…But on the hunting grounds, besides monsters, what else can be our real enemy?”
Luke and Arnie Black couldn't help but look at each other.
"alpha!"
"General!"
The two people shouted this conclusion almost at the same time - although the words were different, the essence was the same.
For Queen Joan from Jiuyou Academy, she can be called her opponent and be called a 'real enemy'. In this hunting ground, in addition to those monsters, perhaps there are only those who are also from Alpha Academy.
Got a zombie head.
"Go north." Luke immediately made up his mind.
It's not that he's afraid of the wizard from the Alpha School - this is a hunting competition held by the school, and no matter how cruel the zombie is, he won't do anything too extreme in the name of the world - it's just that he feels that the hunting ground is precious.
Time cannot be spent fighting other hunting parties.
Hunting monsters is the most important thing.
"Go and lie to the captain and tell him that Moon Face figured out that there is a big demon group in the north." Luke turned to look at Arnie Black: "You are the most eloquent among us..."
"I feel like this is not a compliment." Ani's mouth twitched, and he turned around and planned to walk towards the hill.
"I can hear you talking." The witch sitting on the back of the elk tilted her head and shouted at the top of her voice: "Please don't lie to me next time when you are upwind..."
'Bigfoot', who had just taken a step, immediately stopped and spread his hands to show his innocence.
Behind him, Luke's face immediately darkened.
He glanced at the fortune teller subconsciously: "When you divine, don't you build a safety barrier?!"
"Are you blind?! Are there any magic words or formations around you that you can't see?" Zhan Shichen couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "Besides, you are right next to me, why should I waste that magic power!"
Before Zuofu Hunter could continue to complain, the witch on the back of the elk not far away had already stood up.
"It's such a happy decision!" She kicked the 'fork' on the top of the elk's head, raised the long knife in her hand, and waved forward: "Then let's continue going south! ... Prongs, no need for divination.
Now, prepare your magic books and spells, let’s kill all the enemies in front of us!!”
Zuo Fu of the Queen of Hearts couldn't help but feel dizzy when he heard his captain's passionate declaration.
"I haven't chopped anyone down with a law book yet." You Bi also stood up from the ground, kicked the dirt and completely destroyed the remaining ashes in front of him, laughing playfully.
"This is an exaggerated rhetorical technique." Arnie Black explained seriously.
"Won't you stop her?" Several blue veins popped up on Luke's forehead.
"Can you stop it?" Zhan Shichen pointed to the elk that was kicking its hoof shell and was about to run, with a look of helplessness on his face: "If you can catch up with that beast, you can give it a try... But be careful not to be slashed by the captain's broadsword.
die."
"I won't burn paper money for you." Arnie Black quickly added.
Luke looked up and looked at the elk running away. He sighed deeply again and took out a few magical charms from his backpack.
"Tie it up, tie it up." He irritably stuffed a few talismans into the arms of his companions: "Since you can't stop me, then hurry up and catch up... In short, don't let that zombie take advantage of you."
