Chapter 237: Quartet in the Night
"Boom ......"
A dull thunder rolled over the forest, leaving a shuddering echo. A white bolt of lightning then appeared, splitting the originally dark world, shining into a black and white world.
White lightning, white snow, black forest, black night.
The colors are distinct, but they are unusually harmonious.
Through those fleeting lights, Zheng Qing clearly saw several black figures, standing quietly in the treetops not far away, like a ghost in the night, which made people's hearts rise with a deep unease.
"The Flowing Fire Spell is ineffective and cannot break the Nightfall Suppression effect. ”
"The temperature around is too low, the environment is not matched, and the sun cannot take effect. ”
"Uncle Zai Serval series spells are easy to cause uncontrollable fires, so give up using them. ”
"'Sunrise Youyao' can only last for a very short time, and the mana consumption is too large, so it is not recommended as a means to break the night. ”
Patches of hazy light appeared on the rows of law books, and from time to time spit out colorful spells, shooting into the black curtain overhead, exploding brilliant lights.
It's just that these lights, like the lightning brought by those thunder spells, can only last for a short time, and they are fleeting.
Zheng Qing stood in the center of the team, forming a defensive formation with the other four people, staying quietly in place, listening to the reports of the teaching assistants around him, worried.
Nearly ten minutes have passed since the darkness had fallen all around. If First University could really find out about the anomaly here, it would have sent senior professors a long time ago. However, until now, this temporary team, which includes the Sin Hunting Team and the Teaching Assistants, is still trapped in place, in a dilemma.
Enter, do not know where the road ahead, retreat, do not know where to retreat.
"The 'Birdsong Boom' failed to be cast, and the spell was interfered with by unknown magic and could not be transmitted through the night!"
"'Jin Qi Ming' lacks the assistance of light sources, and it is impossible to find out the origin and identity of the other party!"
"'Lead-to-wing' fails and cannot guide the right direction...... Compass, Sinan and other pointing magic weapons have also failed!"
"'King Kobwei' failed, and we are suspected of being pulled into a certain mezzanine space by the other party and lost the divination anchor point!"
One bad news after another came, and the teaching assistants used all kinds of means, not only failed to break the sudden night, but also seemed to have become some kind of luxury to create a little light source in the darkness, or to probe the direction.
This situation made Zheng Qing's heart sink even more. Not only him, but also the teaching assistants around him showed a hint of uneasiness in their tones when they spoke.
"不shake not move, 不戁 (nǎn) 不竦!"
The low and gentle voice of Zhang Yu, the leader of the teaching assistant group, sounded in the darkness, and a pale green halo suddenly lit up from his magic book, turning into a bright aura that swept over the entire team.
'Neither frightened nor shaken, neither frightened nor disturbed', this mantra is extremely effective, not only calming everyone's restless mood, but also adding some effects such as 'calming' and 'focusing', which lifts everyone's spirits.
And Zheng Qing also used this spell to regain his spirits.
Then a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and for some reason, he suddenly remembered the freshman competition at the school hunting party not long ago - halfway through the competition, the Guilty Hunting Team and Ouroboros Hunting Team had already set up camp and chose a small hill away from the demons to rest. But for some reason, the demon army was blocked outside their circle again.
"It won't be so unlucky...... "The young student muttered, raised his hand, and subconsciously pressed it to his eyes.
Similar to the situation at the freshman competition, today, Zheng Qing's eyes also turned red. It's just that unlike last time, this time, Zheng Qing has two red eyes.
"The front and rear teams take turns to cast 'Ye Ye Shock' and 'Yin Qi Thunder', and the squadron releases a 'Yu Qi Thunder' every three minutes to ensure that we are always under the protection of the thunder curse. ”
Zhang Yu's clear voice sounded in the team, unhurried, as if he had a bamboo in his chest. I have to say that his bearing is really reassuring to everyone. And his arrangement is very safe - as a righteous energy, the Thunder Charm has always been a powerful weapon for wizards to deal with the darkness, and it is perfect to use in the situation at hand.
"Funny kid ......"
"The right ......"
"False Resistance ......"
"The Struggle of Failure ......"
Four strange sounds suddenly sounded in the darkness, breaking the 'peace of mind' atmosphere that Zhang Yu had just created—the reason why I said weird was because these four voices seemed to be mixed with the sound of whimpering wind, the rustle of leaves rubbing, and the creaking of feet in the snow, which were not at all like the sounds made by normal people.
"Hmph, the guy who hides his head and tail doesn't even dare to speak normally...... Are you afraid that the school will settle accounts after the autumn and pull you out of the turtle shell and beat you up?!" Hilda said loudly, unceremoniously sneering: "I have the ability to turn us into this mezzanine world, but I don't even dare to show my face, if I were you, I would have found a piece of tofu and killed myself!"
Zheng Qing swallowed quietly and glanced at Hilda carefully, lest those guys hiding in the dark suddenly make a move and drag the bad-tempered assistant out first and beat him violently.
"There is no hiding ......"
"Not Fear......
"For your safety......"
"Please shut up......"
It's still those weird voices, still echoing one after another, like a quartet. Only with the echo this time, a wisp of cold wind swept through the group and hit Hilda, who was standing in the middle of the group.
Then Hilda was completely silent.
This terrible effect immediately frightened everyone.
"Close Your Eyes ......"
"Put away the law book in your hand......"
"Bow your head ......"
"We're only going to take one child......"
The quartet resounded in everyone's ears, as if it was just a warning, and it seemed like everyone was making their own choices. It's just that their demands are too vague and arrogant, even to Zheng Qing's ears, they feel unacceptable, not to mention the teaching assistants standing on the periphery.
"Moonrise ......"
"Willing to dream with the son......"
"Moonrise Light ......"
"Wei Qing Arrests Xi ......"
Receiving no response from everyone present, the quartet showed no signs of anger, but instead cast four spells as if it were for everyone's consideration.
With the exception of the second one, the other three spells all have a very clear direction, which is to return the light to this world shrouded in darkness.
This inconsistent move has made everyone more confused.
