Hunting College

A soft antenna stretched out from behind the crack in the door, bypassing Zheng Qing, hanging less than a foot away from Zhang Jixin, slowly creeping. A golden bean stuck to the tentacles.

If it weren't for that golden bean, Zhang Jixin's already raised slap would surely squeeze the squirming tentacles into flesh.

"Gold back to you," the vague face behind the door said in its muddy voice: "Leave here, leave this house, leave this mountain...gold back to you."

Zheng Qing turned his head and glanced at Zhang Jixin in surprise.

Not surprisingly, the red-faced wizard looked even more daunting than him.

Xiao Xiao gave up the pile of smoking leaves, walked to the tentacles, and carefully examined the golden beans attached to the tentacles. After a long while, he turned his head and asked Zhang Jixin: "This is what you left before leaving the house. The golden bean?"

Zhang Jixin nodded uncertainly.

"It should be... what does it mean to come back?" He scratched his head with a confused expression: "When I left before, I did leave a golden bean... but the golden beans are not all the same length. Is it the same? Who will remember every golden bean in his pocket?"

"I will." Dr. Xiao Da said confidently.

Fatty Xin stared blankly and vomited: "That's because you only have a few golden beans in your pocket."

Unlike the teammates who were cautious and were discussing carefully, Zheng Qing was very straightforward in the face of the puzzling behavior of the old house owner.

"Why return the gold to us?" He asked directly: "Why let us leave here? We just want to know the way up the mountain."

"Why go up the mountain?" asked the face behind the door with a strange color.

"We want to go home."

"Why go up the mountain?"

"Elder Attar said that the road on the mountain is wider, and you can return to reality by climbing to the highest mountain. This mountain is the highest mountain we know."

"The essence of magic is a kind of balance... what do you plan to do if you want to go up the mountain?"

This question has been discussed several times by the Yougui Hunting Team. At this moment, hearing the old house owner’s question, Zheng Qing immediately replied: "Gold, gems, potions, talisman... and even knowledge, what do you need? We can all. provide."

"What about life?" The voice behind the door was filled with sizzling noise, and it seemed that such a conversation was also a huge burden for him.

Zheng Qing glanced at the two banshees.

"If you need it." He replied briefly.

This time, behind the door was completely silent. It seemed that he had never expected that the wizard would answer so decisively and simply, and at the same time he was aware of the determination of these guests.

The mushroom soup in the black cauldron gurgled with bubbles under the lick of the flame, and strands of pearl-colored mist escaped from the bubbles and hovered over the cauldron, condensing into a thin but clear cloud.

Until the color of the clouds became a bit thicker.

The old homeowner spoke again.

"Life is a precious word." He seemed to remind the guests of the preciousness of life, as well as sighing the choice of young wizards: "It is true that life must have cracks in order for the sun to shine in... But the top of the mountain Above, there are only endless clouds and darkness, no cracks can be seen. I think the choice of this demon lady is more worthy of your reference."

"Miss Demon's choice?"

The five young wizards glanced at Nikita, surprised and confused. But without exception, these sights are full of vigilance. Zheng Qing took a step back slightly, and pointed the muzzle of Fu's gun obliquely at the female demon.

No one knows when the banshee made contact with the existence behind the door and reached a certain consensus.

Nikita didn't seem to expect that the simple negotiation between herself and the old house owner would be shaken out on the spot, but she immediately realized that hesitating at this moment did not benefit her.

"I am willing to stay! I am willing to go down the mountain!" she raised her arms high and shouted.

The dark eyes on the vague face of the old house owner slowly turned to look at Nikita, and then stared at her face for a long while, and finally faintly refused: "Your destiny does not belong to you now... Power determines this deal."

"I know a way to get rid of your current predicament, and even advance to the legend!" The banshee seemed to know that this was her last chance, and shouted: "Our captain has a very great plan!

Those dark eyes seemed to move slightly.

Zheng Qing knew that he had to say something to stop the banshee's plan.

"Quiet!" He shook the muzzle, yelled, motioned the banshee to retreat, and said in a mocking tone: "If your captain's plan is to rob Xuan Huangguo from the black prison, then it is indeed'great'. Two words... After all, not many demons have the courage to challenge the waiting first university."

"There is still half the power of the new world." Zhang Jixin immediately added: "As far as I know, the school has recalled a large number of hunting groups that have pioneered in the new world...They are now staying in the black prison and acting as temporary guards."

"Xuan Huangguo? So that's the case." The voice behind the door showed a faint, and the dark eyes turned slowly again, leaving the banshee, and falling on Zheng Qing: "...The sky is the clearest place of Tao. . The higher you climb, the closer you are to the sky, and the closer you are to the'road' home. This is true. But even if Randolph Carter stood in front of me, there would be no confidence in that huge Stay awake before the truth..."

Randolph Carter is a legendary investigator who graduated from Miskatonic University. This university is located in the famous small town of Arkham. It has achievements comparable to the first university in the field of occultism, but with all Compared with the first university composed of wizards, Miskatonic University retains many of the redundancies of old-school educational institutions-in other words, UU Reading www. Only a small part of the members of uukanshu.com are wizards, and most of the members are ordinary people.

This is also the most common method used by ancient wizards to hide their existence. Nowhere can accommodate superhuman thinking and outstanding souls better than a university.

"... If you lose your consciousness, you will fall from the mountain." The voice behind the door was extremely intimidating: "How high the mountain is, how miserable you will be after falling... Do you still have to go up the mountain?"

This time, Zheng Qing did not immediately answer the old house owner's question.

He subconsciously glanced back at his companions.

Jiang Yu embraced Zhu Si and nodded vigorously; Zhang Jixin curled his lips indifferently; Fatty Xin was squatting on the ground studying the mushroom soup in the cauldron, completely ignoring the intimidation behind the door.

Even Xiao Xiao, the most cautious person on weekdays, just helped his glasses: "We have no other choice, do we?"

The young public servant grinned and turned his head: "Yes."
