Warm blood dripped, dripping from the dark ceiling.

Falling to the ground, splashing a starry pattern, like a blooming firework, or like a blooming starry sky - of course, against the background of the iron-gray floor, these blood droplets are a little less visually striking in terms of color, but their warm touch and splashing dynamics make up for this shortcoming.

It was manifested in the large area where the blood fell, and all the students panicked to avoid it, lest it be contaminated, as if the drop was not blood, but concentrated sulfuric acid.

The panic lasted only a few seconds.

In the darkness, someone shouted, 'Run!' and many people finally reacted, and their brains cleared up a little, and they ran in the direction of the door of the small hall.

"Smack!"

There was another crisp snap of fingers from the podium.

A bloody, translucent film emerged from all directions, quietly blocking all entrances and exits.

The Great Hall was small, and the doors were close to the students, but all the young wizards who tried to get close to the glimmer of light were curled up by the blue-gray tentacles that fell from the ceiling, possibly vines, and thrown back into the center of the small hall. They didn't even get a chance to get close to the light film at the door.

After four or five people were repeatedly smashed back to the floor, the others finally learned a little smarter and stopped rushing out blindly. Some people took out the talismans and magic weapons in their arms, some took out the short knives on their waists and the long swords on their backs, and some simply took out the magic books and chanted incantations aloud.

For a moment, spells and swords flew in the small auditorium, and the talisman and magic weapons were smashed in a hurry.

On the podium, the puppeteer in a top hat not only did not stop the students from fleeing in a panic, but leaned over, squinted, waved his arms, beat the beat, and occasionally tilted his ears, as if listening to the screams of the students or the explosion of the spell was more pleasant.

Of course, no matter how many spells the students threw and how many talismans they thrown, the light film blocking the gate did not move at all, and there was not even a trace of trembling. Even those swords poked at the light film could only bring a flash of fire.

Unlike most young wizards' choices, the Sin Hunter did not rush out with the chaotic crowd, nor did they take out talismans and magic weapons to attack the light film. Instead, at the request of Zheng Qing, a triangular defensive array was set up on the spot.

This is the most common and effective defensive formation in hunting, consisting of three hunters standing on equal sides to form the outer line of defense, and then the remaining two hunters are supporting and supporting on the inside.

"When the situation is chaotic or intelligence gathering is insufficient, if it is known that the other side has a large advantage, then our response principle should be 'immobile as a mountain, calm the brake'. The young student sat cross-legged in the defensive formation, muttering, and speaking his thoughts to the others.

It's just that the hunting team with this kind of consciousness is a minority after all.

After all, this is just a freshman hunting competition, and the vast majority of people are holding the mentality of participation to increase their knowledge, and many participants have not even memorized the "Basic Rules of Hunting" in their entirety. Therefore, when you suddenly encounter such an abnormal situation, you are naturally at a loss and in chaos.

"Makes sense. Xiao Xiao stood next to him, holding a turtle shell in his hand - he and Zheng Qing were the eyes of the triangular defensive array, responsible for replenishing and assisting the combat power, while Zhang Jixin, Xin, and Blue Tinch were standing on the periphery, as the basic support point of the defensive array.

The doctor glanced at Zheng Qing obliquely, and his tone was slightly surprised: "...... It's just that this choice doesn't sound like something you can make. Based on your usual behavior, it's time to lead the group side by side. ”

Zheng Qing's face darkened, and he finally did not refute the doctor's words.

Indeed, for a split second, he did want to rush forward with the other young wizards and blow through the film with a wad of rune paper. But there was a voice in his head that repeatedly and tirelessly persuaded him that he should be rational and not blindly follow the crowd.

So, he ended up with this conservative choice.

"Shoulder-to-shoulder, that's what the elders like to do. The young public scholarship student quietly blackened Zhang Jixin, then raised his arm, pointed to the ceiling above his head, and asked, "What was that just now?"

He asked about the thing that looked like a big mouth that had just eaten the sneering wizard.

If the Guilty Hunters are going to stay put, they must be aware of all the 'beings' in this auditorium who threaten them. Even if you can't destroy it, you must at least find a way to resist it.

"It's too fast to see. The doctor shook his head, hesitated, and added, "But based on the musky scent that remained at the scene, and the tentacle-like vines that fell from the ceiling, I guess there's a mutated big-mouthed grunt on it." ”

"Big-mouthed grunt?" Zheng Qing nodded thoughtfully, and a series of information immediately flashed in his mind - big-mouthed grunt, also known as the chewer, is a magical plant native to the Arabian Peninsula, born from a man-eating flower grown from a snake's egg and devouring a ghoul. Because it has a big mouth comparable to gluttony, hence the name.

Its flower stems resemble a snake that can crawl, entangle, and catapult to attack, its huge mouth is full of fangs, and it can swallow a 500-pound wild boar in one gulp, and this plant also has a variety of 'tentacles', these snake-like vines can flexibly capture all creatures within the purr sense range of the big mouth.

Contrary to these aggressive appearances, the large-mouthed saliva can emit a rich musk, which has a strong calming effect, and some wizards with unique tastes like to keep such a gollum in an iron cage in their houses as a substitute for the expensive calming incense on the market, as well as the short-lived calming talismans.

Today, this magical creature that spread from the Arabian Peninsula has spread all over the world, and has given birth to countless subspecies of varying qualities. The most famous of these is the Tokyo mew species, a new subspecies that can parasitize the human body.

Thinking of this, Zheng Qing couldn't help but shake his head vigorously, trying to shake out all the dense information in his mind.

Although the information in his mind was very comprehensive and exhaustive, he was very sure that he had never read a book about this plant before.

It's just that now is not the time to dwell on these details.

At the same time, Xiao Xiao also ended his analysis: "...... This large-mouthed grunt is perfectly hidden in the ceiling above us – in the shadow of the ceiling, to be exact. This means that there is a high chance that it has been transformed into a shadow plant. The person who has this kind of technology, or the organization, is not trivial. ”

Zheng Qing nodded slightly, agreeing with the doctor's opinion.

Whether it's transforming a full-fledged creature or mastering the nature of shadow creatures, it's not something that ordinary wizards can touch.

From this perspective, the outlook is not encouraging.
