Hunting High School

A thin tentacle protruded from behind the crack of the door, bypassed Zheng Qing, and hung less than a foot away from Zhang Jixin, wriggling slowly. A golden bean sticks to the tentacles.

If it wasn't for the golden bean, Zhang Jixin's raised palm would have crushed the wriggling tentacles into a pulp.

"The gold will be returned to you," said the vague face behind the door with its muddy voice, "Leave here, leave this house, leave this mountain...the gold will be returned to you."

Zheng Qing turned around and looked at Zhang Jixin in surprise.

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

Xiao Xiao gave up the pile of smoldering leaves, walked up to the tentacles, carefully looked at the golden bean sticking to the tentacles, turned around after a long while, and asked Zhang Jixin: "This is what you left behind when you left the house. Is it the golden bean?"

Zhang Jixin nodded uncertainly.

"It should be... What does it mean when it comes back?" He scratched his head, his expression a little confused: "When I left before, I did leave a golden bean behind... But those golden beans are not all the same size. The same look, who would be free to remember the appearance of every golden bean in his pocket..."

"I will." Dr. Xiao said confidently.

Xin Fatty squinted and complained, "That's because you only have a few golden beans in your pocket."

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

"Why did you give the gold back to us?" He asked directly, "Why did you let us leave here? We just want to know the way up the mountain."

"Why do you want to go up the mountain?" The face behind the door flashed with strange colors and asked back.

"We want to go home."

"Why do you want to walk up the mountain?"

"Attal Elder said that the road is wider on the mountain. Climb the highest mountain and you will return to reality. This mountain is the highest mountain we know."

"The essence of magic is a kind of balance... What are you going to pay if you want to go up the mountain?"

Regarding this question, the Forgiveness Hunting Team has already had several discussions. At this moment, upon hearing the question from the owner of the old house, Zheng Qing immediately replied: "Gold, gems, potions, talismans... even knowledge, what do you need? We can do it all." supply."

"What about life?" The voice behind the door was filled with buzzing noises, as if such a conversation was also a huge burden for him.

Zheng Qing glanced at the two banshees.

"If you need it," he replied curtly.

This time, there was complete silence behind the door. 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 firmness of these guests.

The mushroom soup in the black crucible was bubbling and bubbling under the lick of the flames, strands of pearl-colored mist escaped from the bubbles, hovered over the crucible, and condensed into a thin but clear cloud.

Until the color of the cloud became thicker.

Only then did the old house owner speak again.

"Life is a precious word." He seemed to be reminding the guests of the preciousness of life, and he seemed to be lamenting the choices of the young wizards: "It is true that there must be cracks in life so that the sun can shine in...but the gap between the top of the mountain On the ground, there are only endless clouds and darkness, and there is no crack to be seen. I think the choice of this lady demon is more worthy of your reference."

"Miss Demon's choice?"

The five young wizards looked at Nikita in unison, both surprised and confused. But without exception, these gazes are full of vigilance. Zheng Qing took a slight step back, aiming the muzzle of the rune gun obliquely at the banshee.

No one knows when the banshee got in touch with the existence behind the door and reached a consensus.

Nikita didn't seem to expect that her simple negotiation with the owner of the old house would be revealed on the spot, but she immediately realized that hesitating at this moment would not do her any good.

"I'd like to stay! I'd like to come down!" she cried, throwing her arms high.

The dark eyes on the blurred face of the owner of the old house turned slowly, looked at Nikita, then stared at her face for a long while, and finally refused lightly: "Your fate does not belong to you now...you don't Power decides the deal."

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

There seemed to be a slight movement in those pitch-black eyes.

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

"Quiet!" He shook the muzzle of his gun, shouted, motioned the banshee to back off, and said in a mocking tone: "If your captain's plan is to rob Xuanhuangguo from the black prison, then it is indeed 'great' Two words... After all, there are not many monsters who have the courage to challenge the number one university that is waiting in full force."

"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 opened up in the New World... They are now staying in the black prison, acting as temporary guards."

"Xuanhuangguo? That's how it is." The voice behind the door showed a hint of confusion, and the pair of dark eyes slowly turned again, leaving the banshee, and falling on Zheng Qing: "...the sky is the clearest place for the 'Tao' ...the higher you climb, the closer you are to the sky, and the closer you are to the 'way' home. It's true. But even if Randolph Carter stood in front of me, he would not have confidence in that huge Stay sober in front of the truth..."

Randolph Carter is a legendary investigator who graduated from Miskatonic University. This university is located in the famous town of Arkham. In Mysterious Realm, it has the same achievements as the first university, but it is different from all Compared with the first university composed of wizards, Miskatonic University retains the redundancy of many old-school educational institutions-in other words, only a small part of the members of this university belong to wizards, and the vast majority of members are ordinary people.

This is also the most common way for ancient wizards to hide their existence. There is no place better than a university to accommodate superhuman thinking and outstanding souls.

"...If you lose your sanity, you will fall from the mountain." The voice behind the door was extremely threatening: "How high is the mountain, how miserable will you be if you fall... Do you still want to go up the mountain?"

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and read books recently, change sources, and read aloud with many timbres, yeguoyuedu Android and Apple are all available. 】

This time, Zheng Qing didn't immediately answer the old house owner's question.

He subconsciously looked back at his own companions.

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

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

The young public finance student grinned and turned around: "Yes."
