On the morning of the start of the winter hunt, the school's climate management department was merciful and did not rain heavy snow. It's just that in order to add a little fun to everyone's challenge, there is still a little snow in the sky.

This little snow can be seen as the afterglow of the heavy snow on Christmas, but it is not too abrupt.

On a winter morning, it is expected that a cold wind should blow.

Zheng Qing originally thought that the morning wind, like the morning snow, would soon stop. But until the Sin Hunting Team began to 'bury the pot and make rice' all the members to rest, this small but strong wind and snow did not stop, always noisy and hovering around everyone.

The fine salt-like snowflakes crackled on the face, and there was a slight tingling sensation. None of the five members of the hunting team, including Zheng Qing, used amulets or other magic, but carefully felt the information that was caught behind the wind and snow.

This is the trick that Deng Xiaojian taught them when they were training in the hunting team a few days ago - in the forest, especially in the forest with a bad climate, staying vigilant and saving magic power are the most important principles of hunters. Close contact with the wind and snow can not only reduce the consumption of non-essential materials, but also capture the information hidden behind the wind, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

It is said that it is buried in a pot, but for the wizards of the hunting team, this is not realistic.

They didn't come for an outing in the forest, or they were training in a hunting ground at school. They are in the midst of a real hunt. In this forest full of malice towards wizards, behind every twig, every dead leaf, every snowflake, and every wisp of cold wind, there seems to be a malicious gaze.

Hunters need to minimize signs of their movement while trying to catch their prey.

At such times, a warm fire is lit and the blue and white smoke is allowed to drift in the wind, as conspicuous as holding a large lantern in the dark night. No one with a bit of a brain would do that.

'Lunch' consisted of a chocolate bar, a triple beef jerky, a piece of buttered white bread without butter, and a small bottle of clean water – if that was still a nuisance, the school also prepared nutritious dry food balls for hunters on the hunt, but the meatballs were small and didn't taste good, and no one liked to eat them unless they were necessary.

"I really want to eat a sweet cake cup. Fat Xin muttered quietly, his eyes wandering over the small snowdrift not far away - his watch had been confiscated by the Hunting Committee before the start of the game, and the hunters participating in the winter hunt were only allowed to carry their own weapons except for the designated materials.

Zheng Qing followed the fat man's gaze and immediately laughed.

The snowdrift was round at the bottom and pointed at the top, and it really looked like a cake cup full of cream. It's just that it doesn't smell sweet.

"I thought that as a wizard, I would be able to live a little easier in the wilderness. The young student tugged at the corners of his clothes and wrapped the skin around him tighter.

As he said, the current situation of the Sin Hunters was a far cry from the word easy - he had thought that everyone could turn on the all-round scanning magic after hanging warm and protective talismans on their bodies, and shuttle through these clearings on the outskirts of the forest like an outing, searching for prey hiding behind dry bushes and snowdrifts.

Find them, kill them, skin them, remove eyeballs, remove internal organs, knock out bone marrow, throw unused flesh back into the field, and then everyone happily continues to search for the next wave of prey.

However, the reality is that under the real situation of not being sure of the safety of the hunting area and the strength of the prey, according to the SOP manual issued by the school's Winter Hunting Committee, no hunting team is allowed to use magic excessively.

They are to face any situation that may arise with the utmost professionalism and caution, just like a hunting party that really explores in the wilderness forest. Hunting teams that violate this principle will not be disqualified from winter hunting by the school, but the hunting team score will undoubtedly be reduced to the lowest - and the hunting team score is related to the credit reward everyone receives, which is the most concerned thing for all students participating in winter hunting.

Not one of them.

It's not that no one has ever used a little supernatural magic, but a few honest people from the Sin Hunting Team are not among them. They didn't want to be on the verge of danger to test the sensitivity of the school's magic array.

"Magic is just a skill for us to survive in this world, and cognition is our talent that sets us apart. Xiao Xiao likes to preach as always: "Without using magic, we can also stay very comfortable in the wilderness...... Learn to make the most of our initiative as wizards. ”

Similar to the doctor, and Xin Fat Man also likes to raise the bar as always.

"If cognition is really that important, why don't we call it a 'cognitive' but a 'magician'?" As a journalist, Fat Man is clearly good at catching loopholes in other people's speech.

"The Wizarding Code clearly defines us as 'wizard', thank you. Xiao Xiao was obviously not stunned by the fat man's provocation, and retorted unhurriedly: "...... And not some country slang for 'magician'. ”

"You are a white horse and not a horse!" the fat man blushed, looking like a distant relative of Zhang Jixin.

"I'm just correcting your bias about self-definition. Xiao Xiao lifted his glasses and pouted.

"Don't talk nonsense! If you have time to raise the bar here, you might as well find those foxes sooner and kill them...... So we can go back to the hut in the woods and drink hot tea around the fire. Zheng Qing interrupted the small friction between the two partners with the majesty of the captain of the hunting team and reunited the goals of the hunting team.

The cabin in the forest is a safe camp set up by each hunting team before entering the forest, and it is the only large rear that the hunting team can rely on during the three-day winter hunt. The resources used in the hut, such as the guardian array array and the rune paper, are all provided by the school. Each hunting team also has a few waitlists to stay there, both as a staff supplement and as a resting base.

This time, the Sin Hunting Team arranged for Lin Guo, Blue and the little monk of Shiyuan to stay in the forest hut as alternate seats.

"I don't like black tea," muttered the fat man, taking out the anti-freeze and concealing potion from his bosom and began to distribute it to his friends: "...... In this kind of weather, I like to drink a little wine, warm and warm, which is good for the stomach. ”

"No problem at all," Zheng Qing took the potion handed by the fat man, and said kindly, "There is a bottle of amber light in Lin Guo, which is left from the opening ceremony of D&K, and we will drink it when we go back." Properly. ”

"All right. A satisfied smile immediately broke out on the fat man's face.
