Hunting High School

In Uzzah, no one can kill a cat.

It's not just that cat killing is strictly prohibited under Ulthar's laws, but that the furry creatures have a detached status in the city because of the great eyes of some Sacred who are always watching over the furry creatures.

"It is said that this law was initially promulgated because of an old couple who likes to kill cats." On the way leading the two companions to the city of Ursa, Xiao Xiao eloquently told his companions everything he had learned:

"The farmer and his wife took great pleasure in trapping every cat that came near their house. One year a caravan came to Uzzah, and in the caravan was a little boy, an orphan, with a little The black cat depends on each other. On the third day after the caravan came, the little black cat disappeared. The boy searched for a long time but couldn’t find it. The people in the town secretly told him about the bad habits of the old couple.”

"The boy cried, was silent, thought, and finally prayed."

"He used words that no one could understand, and he begged for help from an existence that no one knew. That day, everyone saw the sky tearing apart, the clouds twisting, and a dark, hazy figure reflected in every corner of the city .and all the cats in town disappeared."

"After the citizens hesitated for a few days, those cats reappeared. It's just that at this time, they have become greasy and shiny, fat and big, and their eyes have become agile."

"The mayor went to the old farmer's house with the notary, the sheriff, and the doctor. There were no living people in the house, only two white skeletons lying in front of the fireplace, and there was not a trace of flesh left on the bones."

"And henceforth there has been this unnamed law in Uzzah."

Zheng Qing listened to this scary but not so scary little story, and felt a little bored in his heart—except that when the little black cat appeared in the story, it scared him for a second, and he got the weird look from the witch beside him , I didn't feel a little new.

In contrast, the occasional pumpkin car passing by on the road can arouse his interest even more.

"Where are we going now?" After listening patiently to Xiao Xiao's story, he finally found an opportunity to start a new conversation.

"Ulthar City Museum," replied the fortune teller of the Excuse Hunting Squad.

"Huh?" Zheng Qing raised his eyebrows: "Another museum?"

"To be precise, it's a temple in the museum that enshrines the old gods." Xiao Xiao held the notebook and turned the quill in his hand, his eyes erratically captured the fresh pictures on the left and right, and his voice was a little lazy: "...that temple The priest here has lived a long time and knows many things. It won't hurt if we go and talk to him."

"Why not wait until Fatty and the Elder arrive?"

"When the hunting team gathers, we need to get down to business... Have you forgotten why you came to this world?"

Of course Zheng Qing will never forget—the reason why he entered the dreamland was because the faceless demon who pretended to be Liu Feifei's pet snake escaped into this world, plus the agreement between Zheng Qing and Zhu Si, Mr. The prophecy made is pulling the young public finance student to re-enter this fantasy world.

"Can those pumpkin cars be used?" The public finance student changed the subject again, pointing to an orange car that had just passed by the three of them, and asked with interest.

"As long as you have dried fish." Xiao Xiao's answer was a bit inexplicable.

Zheng Qing stopped and fumbled in his own gray cloth bag for a long time, finally took out a handful of dried mackerel, and held it up to the doctor: "Why is such a small fish?"

Xiao Xiao adjusted his glasses and gave him a slightly surprised look.

"I thought only Fatty's watch would store food anytime and anywhere," he obviously didn't expect that Zheng Qing really found a handful of dried fish.

"Just in case." The young public fee student twitched his lips and replied vaguely.

Now that there is a small dried fish, there is no need to continue walking.

Xiao Xiao pinched the tail of a small dried fish, held it in the air, and yelled 'meow' in a serious manner!

Zheng Qing shuddered involuntarily.

"What are you doing?" He dragged Jiang Yu a few steps away from the doctor.

Xiao Xiao glanced at him: "Call a car."

Before the words were finished, a bright yellow pumpkin cart stopped in front of the small dried fish whistling with the sound of the wind. A furry paw protruding from the front of the car? Fish that small dried fish into the paw.

"Parking fee received! Dried Spanish mackerel!" The driver shouted in a lazy and sticky voice: "Where does the guest want to go?"

Zheng Qing stared blankly at the pumpkin cart.

The appearance of the car is not much different from the pumpkin cart in the wizarding world? The two steering wheels in front of the four wheels are small, and the two load-bearing wheels in the back are large. On the edge of the small window dug out of the melon body, a few small orange lamps are hung, exuding a natural fragrance from the inside to the outside.

What is not the same is the driver and puller of the pumpkin cart.

The driver of the pumpkin cart is a tabby cat wearing a hat, with a round face and a spotted cat. Its fur is smooth and shiny, and its thick tail is coiled around its waist like a whip.

Pulling the cart are a few strong 'big rats'.

It is not accurate to say that it is a mouse, after all, Zheng Qing has never seen a mouse with pointed ears. It's just that these brown fur creatures have the sharp snouts and outlines of mice, so let's assume they are mice.

"The last time I saw a mouse pulling a cart was last Christmas." Zheng Qing always felt that those cart pullers looked familiar, so he took a few more glances: "The pumpkin cart sent by the Qingqiu mansion, the cart driver and cart sent by the underground mouse clan Mice...remember those grumpy 'Christmas mice' who used to throw presents around in stockings."

Both companions ignored Zheng Qing's memories.

"They are not mice," Xiao Xiao first corrected the wizard's inappropriate wording: "This kind of creature is called 'Zug', and it is a unique creature in the Dreamland. Zugeke is a very unique series...but because they look like rats, many people also call them 'misty rats'."

"Okay, okay, I know you can memorize the entire encyclopedia." Zheng Qing rolled his eyes and raised his hands to signal surrender.

Jiang Yu tugged on his robe sleeve.

"In that oak forest, the creatures spying on us should be these guys." She stared at the brown outlines of Zug, her voice uncertain.

Zheng Qing squinted her eyes, and finally knew where the familiar feeling from just now came from.

"The enchanted forest is an oak forest, and it is also the place where the tribes of the ancestors are most concentrated." Xiao Xiao affirmed the witch's guess, and added: "As for the guys who pull the carts, they were given to the cats in Uzza by the tribes of the ancestors." Tribute... In normal years, cats will command them to pull carts, but in times of disaster and famine, they are still the first-class rations."
