Beyond the main campus of First University, there are many small, relatively hidden school functional areas. Although these areas are also under the management of First University, they have semi-independent territories and are not located in Jiuyou University or
In the academy territory such as Alpha Castle, it is similar to the research institutes in the academy, hidden in a corner of the Silent Forest.
Of course, these territories are also covered by the school's protective formation.
The bridge that connects these territories and colleges, in Jiuyou College, is the deep corridor that surrounds the school.
The main body of this corridor is made of obsidian, and the top of the corridor is decorated with many exquisite sculptures. In summer, it will be covered by thick and dense vines, making it look even more secluded; in winter, because the vines wither and grow,
The main body of the corridor is exposed to the cold wind, making it much brighter and cooler.
There are many "nodes" built by pavilions in the promenade around the mansion. These nodes are the gateways to semi-independent territories. For example, Pavilion No. 3 leads to the "Feiyuan" territory where Zheng Qing and others do morning classes; Pavilion No. 7
It leads to the office building of the school working committee; there is also Pavilion No. 4, which was bustling with people coming and going not long ago; it leads to the hunting ground No. 1 of the First University, and so on.
A few minutes ago, the forest cat leading the way also passed a pavilion with the black cat.
It's just that at that time, Black Cat was only focused on listening to other people talking, and his mind was full of random thoughts. For a moment, he forgot to pay attention to which pavilion they turned into - others including Fatty also ignored this issue.
"It doesn't matter, we're all in school anyway, what's the big deal!" After hearing Lin Guo's nervous voice, Black Cat immediately reassured him: "I have so many cats, I can't leave you alone!
"
As he spoke, he raised his little white paw and waved it back - the big and small kittens behind him meowed very cooperatively. For a moment, he seemed to be the majestic leader of cats and his words had weight.
"You have a cat under your command, what does it have to do with us getting lost?" the fat man asked with a puzzled look. He was not afraid of getting lost, and he took out a bag of fried potato cubes from his watch with great ease, as if he really took this trip seriously.
The journey of search comes from wild travel.
He asked that question purely out of his habit as a 'professional journalist', who always likes to find some fault with something.
"Have you ever heard of 'old horses know the way'?" The black cat tugged at its ears, glanced sideways at the fat man, and snorted: "Old horses can know the way, and kittens can do the same... Why don't you follow the cat later?
Come back as you came, you can't lose it."
His words were not entirely taken for granted.
Many small animals, including cats and dogs, have barbaric habits such as rubbing around, peeing to mark, and burying prey. On the one hand, these habits are to demarcate the territory and warn other animals not to invade at will; on the other hand, they are also giving themselves
Reminder, so as not to get lost - from a certain point of view, this purely natural way of guiding is much easier to use than the minds of most wizards.
Along the way, although Zheng Qing didn't notice which pavilion they turned into, he clearly felt that more than one cat had left 'marks' on the roadside. Just based on these strong-smelling marks, he
You can be sure that you can't lose it.
"Okay, you're a cat, you have the final say." The fat man muttered, and stuffed another handful of fried potato lattice into his mouth.
The little ragdoll cat that was running outside the crowd smelled the scent of oil, and slipped back quietly, and came to the fat man's feet, meowing, staring at him pitifully with a pair of big eyes far away.
Food in hand.
"Tsk, I really can't stand that little look in your eyes..." The fat man lowered his head and immediately forgot about the conversation with the black cat. He happily took out a piece of potato and handed it over.
The ragdoll cat sniffed carefully, took a small bite, and then spit it out. Then he turned around and jumped back into the group of cats in front of him without looking back. The fat man looked at it dumbfounded.
Unlike the fat man who has a broad heart and a fat body, and is flirtatious with cats, the little wizard riding on the back of the black goat is relatively nervous.
"Why do I feel like I've never been to this territory before?"
"Have any of you been here? Does anyone know which territory behind the pavilion this is? Which department of the school manages it?"
"Why have you walked for so long without even a single person? Even in Feiyuan, there are pets from the petting zoo who come to have fun when no one is around... Don't you think this territory is too quiet?"
Lin Guo didn't say anything, and Zheng Qing didn't feel it yet. But as the little wizard continued to talk, the black cat's scalp couldn't help but feel numb, and the hair on its back exploded involuntarily.
After hesitating for a moment, he silently recited the 'Big and Small Curse' several times in his heart, and became taller - to be precise, his current shoulder height is two meters high. If he stood up on his hind legs,
It looks a bit taller than the crooked-necked willow trees next to it.
"Ahem!" The black cat coughed heavily, and after attracting all the attention, he raised his paw and signaled everyone to stop first.
Then he held his tail, grabbed the big tree next to him, stood up on his two hind legs, and took a private look. Seeing the majestic appearance of their leader, the cats all seemed to be on stimulants, and howled.
Yelled together.
Unlike the excited cats, the heart of the black cat that stood up slowly sank.
He scratched the tree trunk with his front paws, looking just past the top layer of the tree crown. He looked around, and everything he saw was dusty. If it were summer, what he saw would definitely be a lush green land. But now the goose is
In winter, except for some evergreen trees, most trees have lost all their leaves.
All the black cat could see were bare branches shivering in the cold wind. In the distance, a collapsed ruin could be vaguely seen, looming in the light blue mist.
The mist seemed to be alive, rolling slowly, and seemed to be expanding in all directions.
Where does the fog come from in broad daylight?
The black cat fell back to the ground with a jolt, and its body also shrank rapidly with the 'puff', from two meters high to about half a meter in the blink of an eye.
"This territory is a little weird." Zheng Qing hesitated and began to describe what he saw to his friends, and expressed his guess: "I heard that there is a cemetery in the school. It seems to be somewhere.
In a territory...is this here?"
"That legendary cemetery? That cemetery that is said to contain several dead animals that have been dead for thousands of years?" Lin Guo screamed, and then his eyes lit up, looking like he could not wait to pounce deep into the territory immediately.
Contrary to his performance, Lan Que, who was always fearless and expressionless, frowned at Zheng Qing's judgment and pressed the little wizard's shoulder to stop his impulsive plan.
