Chapter 267: The First Prey

The banyan tree's blue-black air roots trembled slightly. {with}{dream} щ{suimеng][lā}

The lantern insects, which were lying on their air roots and sucking the sap, flapped their wings restlessly, and some of them flashed their bellies, looking like ill-touched light bulbs, but they didn't make a sizzling noise.

Zheng Qing raised his head vigilantly and glanced above the qi root.

A gray-skinned sparrow with a caterpillar in its mouth was standing quietly on the upper part of the air root, bouncing and looking curiously at the strange figure below.

It reassured him a little.

"Swordsman, if the state adjustment is completed, you can do some preliminary exploration of the surroundings first," Zheng Qing looked at the hunter of the hunting team, and said again: "Keep a safe distance, and give priority to the key directions that the doctor just mentioned." ”

Holding the sword, the blue stood up silently, bowed slightly, and disappeared from the sight of several other people. He didn't speak the whole time, leaving only a few fallen leaves that were swept up by the air current.

"Oh...... Running too fast. The fat man suddenly remembered something, and immediately stomped his foot: "The mink is still in his hat!

"It's because there's only one hunting beast left that Sable has to follow him. Zheng Qing continued to lower his head to check the data recorded by Zhang Jixin, and explained casually: "After all, the two of them are the most familiar...... Moreover, a hunting beast did not help us much in our plans later. ”

"Actually, I don't mind you calling out your nose rings and earrings. The fat man interjected at the right time: "I think if it is present, everyone may feel more at ease." ”

The nose rings and earrings are the names of Zheng Qing's two-headed Minotaur. It must be admitted that the fat man's offer is tempting. After all, in this dangerous environment, having an existence that can bless everyone at any time and act as a meat shield is very helpful to boost the confidence of the hunting team.

Especially the tall and strong figure of the two-headed Minotaur looks very secure.

"If needed. The captain of the Hunting Team did not refuse, but he did not immediately agree to the fat man's request.

"With the Merlin Medallion, any summoning spell will continue to drain the wizard's mana, and this safe moment is not the right time to summon the Minotaur. Xiao Xiao was writing and drawing in a notebook next to him, and when he heard the conversation between the two, he explained in passing.

"Everybody knows this kind of thing. The fat man muttered, a rare hint of embarrassment on his chubby face.

Perhaps in order to make up for his fallacy, he opened his mouth and kindly gave his own advice: "Do the other hunting teams have any hunting beasts? Will they cause us trouble? I have a stupid idea...... I had prepared some bacon coated with croton juice, thinking that maybe some of the stupid beasts of the hunting team would eat it. ”

As he spoke, he quickly tapped the storage table on his wrist a few times, revealing a black and red strip of bacon with an attractive fragrance.

One of the air roots next to it shook again.

Zheng Qing raised his head, it was still a matter of sparrows - only this time there were a few more, and they should be the companions of the previous sparrow. The swarm of light insects lying on the air roots seemed to be getting more and more restless, and their bellies flickered more frequently.

It seemed that the fat man himself felt that his method was stupid, and his voice involuntarily got lower and lower: "...... Anyway, it's going to get them some trouble after all, isn't it?"

"Sounds like a good idea. Zheng Qing did not deny it, but stretched out his finger to wipe the surface of the bacon, and then leaned under his nose to sniff the yellowing oil stains: "This is purified croton juice? ”

"Eighteen times more!" was finally affirmed by others, and the fat man immediately became elated: "I have been busy in the potions laboratory for a whole week, and I find time to stay up for a while every day...... Professor Li said that such a small piece of meat can make an elephant dehydrate!"

As he spoke, he held out his little finger and gestured to the size of his fingertips.

"You won't really use this kind of indiscriminate means to deal with the hunting beasts of other hunting teams, right?" Zhang Jixin finally reacted and looked at Zheng Qing with an unbelievable gaze: "I remember that you used to despise this kind of ...... very much Shameless means!"

"That was before. Zheng Qing waved his hand impatiently, as if driving away a swarm of annoying flies: "Soldier, treacherous." Our only goal now is to get out of the hunting ground alive...... And who's to say that these things will be used on the beasts? hunters, demons, and even the sparrows above our heads...... I don't even mind pinching my nose and eating a pound of this bacon if I need to. ”

That doesn't sound like your answer. Elder Zhang frowned, but he didn't ask anything after all.

Xiao Xiao finally put down the notebook in his hand, raised his head, and glanced at Zheng Qing seriously.

"Is the impact manageable?" he asked, inexplicably.

But Zheng Qing immediately understood what he meant—apparently, everyone had noticed a significant change in his personality.

"Controllable. The young scholar bowed his head and snorted, "At least, I should be thankful for the damn side effects before this damn hunting ground right away." ”

"In that case," Xiao Xiao paused, took off his glasses, rubbed the corners of his robe, and finally raised his head and asked a question that surprised Zheng Qing: "I remember what you shouted after you drank the sleeping potion last night...... Remember?"

Zheng Qing immediately raised his eyebrows.

"Oh, I remember too. The fat man hurriedly spoke, adding, "I remember what he said about returning, or something...... Before he could finish speaking, he fell asleep. ”

"It's just a little prophecy. Zheng Qing raised his head, stared at the few sparrows jumping around, and waved his hand absently: "It was the little girl named Nanjian from Yelena's hunting team who made the prophecy to me—to be precise, it was Professor Yi who did it, and she just acted as an intermediary." ”

"Is it related to today's incident?" Xiao Xiao asked, but then added, "If personal information is involved, then don't talk about it...... It's not a safe place. ”

"It's okay, it's all a cliché. You know, sometimes if we don't care that much, these prophecies are no different from the mirror. Zheng Qing shrugged his shoulders and repeated Nanjian's prophecy: "Those who have left are about to return, those who have fallen asleep are about to wake up, red fills the world, and there is silence between heaven and earth...... That's it. ”

Xiao Xiao grabbed the pen and quickly recorded these words in his notebook, and then whispered and pondered repeatedly.

"It's really not easy to understand. He finally nodded in acknowledgement.

"But it's a gift after all. Zheng Qing cautiously took out the law book from his arms, stared at the sparrows above his head, and said quietly: "Perhaps, I should give her a gift." ”

Xiao Xiao noticed his abnormality, tilted his head slightly, and did not make a sound. But there are always some careless guys in the hunting team.

"Give her a gift back?" The fat man leaned over with interest: "She has a hunting team with Yelena, and you just give her a gift in a daze, it's not good." ”

"It's just a small gift of borrowing flowers to offer to the Buddha...... I remember that Xiao Xiao had a paperweight made of turtle shells?" Speaking of this, Zheng Qing suddenly slapped the law book heavily and shouted softly: "Ge Zhi Qinxi, give this finch!"

Seven or eight slender rattans, like poisonous snakes hunting, bounced out of the void in an instant, wrapped the sparrows that had been staying above the heads of the Sin Hunting Force, and rolled them down.
