After sending Edamame to find the other three members of the hunting team, Zheng Qing and Jiang Yu stayed in the makeshift guardian circle, whispering to discuss the battle plan of the hunting team after it gathered, and testing whether the effects of different spells, talismans, and magic potions in the dream world were consistent with the real world.

This is an indispensable operation after a hunting team enters an unfamiliar hunting ground.

After a series of tests, it can be determined that in the dream realm, the magic effects involving illusions and spirits have increased greatly, such as chaos spells, sleepy spells, etc., the effects of life and support spells have hardly changed much, such as laundry, cooking, sprinkling, waking up spells, etc., and such as thunder spells, monitoring spells, direction indication spells, and contact spells have been greatly weakened.

Jiang Yu speculated that this may be related to the incomplete law of the dream realm, the weak origin and tolerance of the world, and the great influence of the dream realm, and the lack of causal logic.

For example, in dreams, it is common to run wild in the wilderness one second and fight the storm in the sea the next, and the whole process is flawless, and the wizard in the middle of it can hardly feel the abnormality. However, spells cannot be deceitful, and it is not difficult to understand that spells are ineffective in the face of similar scene transitions, whether it is monitoring, directing, or contacting each other.

Zheng Qing also briefly tested the thunder spell.

A 'Yin Qi Thunder', in the real world outside, can easily summon a lightning bolt the thickness of the mouth of the bowl and kill a Minotaur, but in the dream realm, Zheng Qing mobilized all his magic power, and with the power of nine cows and two tigers, he only drew out a lightning bolt the thickness of chopsticks.

And the lightning turned out to be green.

The young student was very skeptical that the lightning bolt could kill a rabbit.

Thinking of those long-eared guys with front teeth, Zheng Qing couldn't help but glance at the outside of the guardian array, between the dense forests. Because during his discussion with Jiang Yu, he saw the figure that appeared sneakily in the forest out of the corner of his eye more than once.

They were brown creatures with oily fur and short stature, with a silhouette that closely resembled some rodents.

Zheng Qing believed that if they put on their vests and infiltrate First University, they would definitely be able to confuse most of the students—he very much suspected that these little brown things were some kind of branch of the rat clan in the Fantasy Realm in the underground world of First University.

However, unlike the vest-clad rats at school, the rodents in the oak grove don't seem to speak, but instead use a chest-beating method to send messages to each other.

This is also the source of those noisy crackling sounds in addition to the wind and rain that Zheng Qing heard.

Jiang Yu noticed the witch's gaze.

"Don't pay attention to the little things, if they were bold enough, they would have rushed out of the woods...... Do you still have clean slides in your bag? I need to test the effect of this Lourdes holy water. ”

As she spoke, she raised her hand and brushed the strands of hair that fell down her cheeks back behind her ears, and the tiny rays of light from the dream world passed through the circle and fell on the witch's cheeks and hair, making her whole body glow.

Zheng Qing stared blankly for several seconds.

It wasn't until the witch shook the bottle of Lourdes in front of him that he came back to his senses.

I don't know if it's because of the sun, the witch's cheeks are slightly red, but her voice is as calm as ever: "...... The detoxification effect of the stone and the healing effect of white fresh have been confirmed to be within the range of deviation values, and it can be used continuously, and the hallucinogenicity of the elixir becomes stronger, and addictive properties may appear after use, so it is recommended to use it with caution. ”

"I don't have any other frogs to experiment with. Zheng Qing sighed as he took out a new stack of slides from the gray cloth bag and handed it to the witch: "Other potions, we can only speculate theoretically...... Or use them?"

As he spoke, he glanced again at the brown rats that were sneaking out into the woods.

A panicked slapping sound came from the woods.

The sight of those voyeurs suddenly disappeared for the most part.

The witch smiled and shook her head.

"There must be some difference between dream creatures and us, and what works for them may be highly toxic to us. She picked up a drop of milky white holy water with a straw, dropped it onto a new slide, and then flipped the spell and dropped the detection spell.

Invisible waves of magic reverberate within the guardian circle.

The drop of holy water was parsed by the spell, leaving a circle of colorful circular marks on the slide. The witch carefully distinguished the length and thickness of the different colors in the traces, took notes, and reported the values one by one.

Zheng Qing skillfully substituted those values into the detection spell, recited the spell, and watched a pale white bubble slowly rise from the magic book.

"There is no major change in the shape and shape of the observation," he carefully studied the appearance of the bubble, and then poked it with the tip of a quill, and with a snap, the bubble turned into a small white point of light and landed on Zheng Qing's fingertips: "Initial feeling...... The evil warding effect is increased, but the healing effect remains unchanged. ”

"Frogs are still needed. The witch put down the book in her hand and sighed lightly.

Zheng Qinggang wanted to comfort her, but a slight rustling sound suddenly came from outside the magic circle. The two young wizards quickly opened the spell book and activated the spell respectively.

Not far from the circle, a thin branch full of stars swayed slightly, and a moment later, a gray figure emerged from the bushes, biting a brown figure in its mouth.

The dusty figure is edamame.

And the brown figure was a big mouse.

The rats were dead, and their oily fur had dried up a bit. Its head drooped, and a thin stream of blood flowed from its neck, and it fell among the grass, and in an instant it was swallowed up by the earth.

Not far away, in the oak forest, there was a chaotic flapping sound, and even if they didn't understand the meaning of the flapping, the young wizards could feel the sadness and anger contained in those slaps.

Zheng Qing took one last look at the dead brown mouse.

"Found them?" he said, turning to Edamame, asking about the results of his contact.

Edamame pricked up his ears, wagged his tail, and meowed happily.

"Where are they. As soon as the words came out, Zheng Qing immediately remembered that Edamame couldn't speak, and hurriedly added: "You can ...... by pointing to their directions."

"This is a simple map we have drawn," Jiang Yu immediately took out the map he had drawn before and placed it in front of the dog: "Can you understand it? This is where we are, with a forest in the back, and the field, farmland, and river in front...... And that mountain range. ”

The dog lowered his head and pondered for a moment.

Then it stretched out its paws, first slid down the creek until it reached the end of the creek, then slid in the open space for a while, and finally stopped at one spot and pressed a plum print.

Then it moved its paw to the mountain and continued to slide, sliding in the blank space for a long time before stopping and pressing the second plum print.

Then it looked up and meowed at the two young wizards.

Zheng Qing and Jiang Yu looked at each other.
