Chapter 163: Blocker
"Eh?"
"That's the sound of a mule... Gatrash doesn't make that sound."
"Then what do you think they are called?"
"I remember it was like...hehe?"
"...Why don't you say ha ha."
"There is indeed a 'Hey' sound, but it's not complete. It seems that there is a cough-like sound behind it... Hey hey cough, hey cough, hey cough, like this... are they choked?"
Zheng Qing listened to the enthusiastic discussion between Dylan and Fatty Xin with a blank expression, and always felt that it was somewhat unwise for Xiao Xiao to bring up this topic.
Unlike him, Xiao Xiao listened to the two people's analysis very seriously.
At the end, the apologetic fortune teller nodded: "Absolutely, I heard the same two sounds. I thought it was an illusion at first, but it seems that I heard it correctly... But the 'Hey cough' you said is not accurate. It is accurate. Basically, they shout 'Hex'."
"Hex?" Zheng Qing frowned, feeling like he had heard this word somewhere before.
"witchcraft!"
Jiang Yu immediately behaved like a top student and answered without thinking: "A very rare black magic curse, which is part of shamanic magic... But under normal circumstances, this kind of curse will only turn powerful people away." The wizard turns into a weak lamb or frog. Moreover, I have never heard of Gaitrashi being able to use shamanic magic!"
Hearing the key words shaman magic and frog, a flash of lightning flashed across Zheng Qing's mind, and he immediately remembered where that damn familiarity came from.
A few weeks ago, during the first trial of the second grade, the Exoneration Hunters had faced off against a crazed two-headed ogre. At that time, it had cast a witchcraft curse.
"Exactly right." The apologetic fortune teller looked at the squad leader with admiration and added: "Theoretically, Gaitrasi cannot cast a shamanic curse, but similarly, theoretically, Gaitrasi should not be so ferocious. …”
Zheng Qing twitched the corner of his mouth.
Indeed, the mutated Gatrash seemed to have turned into a group of black beasts - after the eyes of the black 'big dog' turned from green to red, the black smoke condensed body suddenly expanded, the face elongated, and the corners of the mouth changed. Broad, long manes were pulled out from the back of the neck, flying in the night wind. Only the sharp claws on the four feet were still the same, and they did not turn into horse hooves together with the body.
Following the leader, the other ten Gaitrashi also turned into ferocious tall horses in the roar. They raised their heads and roared, and their voices were as loud as thunder, suppressing the curses of the young wizards; they rushed down the hillside. At that time, he was as fast as the wind. With just one sprint, he easily tore through the siege formation set up by the Forgiveness Hunting Team.
Not only that, when the young wizards tried to use spells again to attack these mutant Gaitrasi, the tall horse beasts not only stopped dodging, but bravely launched a countercharge.
Then, in the shocked eyes of the hunters, the sharp curse light was bitten into pieces by the sharp teeth of the horse beasts' open mouths, turning into various colors of light and scattered in all directions.
Intangible spells can still be bitten by those monsters, let alone talismans, magic circles and other physical means. The magic circle collapsed under the sharp claws, and the talisman turned into pieces between the fangs. Even the blue giant who revealed his true form was inevitably overwhelmed when faced with attacks like a mad dog. He missed frequently and was covered with injuries. scars.
The most terrible thing is that these monsters are 'immortal'.
When the mutated Gatrashi that Blue Sparrow initially killed reappeared on the battlefield with red eyes, the fortune teller, main hunter and hunting team leader of the Exoneration Hunting Team wisely made the same decision - to retreat. .
Although it was a bit embarrassing, there was no shame in choosing to move when attacked by such a monster.
What's more, this hunting ground is located on Phuket Island and belongs to the First University. The retreating young wizards have no doubt that as long as they leave the hunting ground and alert the night training team of the school working committee, the school can solve these problems in the blink of an eye. The disgraced monster.
So even though they were defeated, these young hunters still showed enough composure.
"...Since the 'theory' has deviated, then we have reason to make any possible assumptions." Xiao Xiao's voice appeared in the ears of the young public-funded student again, interrupting his memory: "For example, because For some special reason, those Gaitrash mastered the 'witchcraft'."
Including Zheng Qing, the expressions of other young wizards also became serious.
If this inference is correct, then who is it that allowed these Gaitrashi to master the 'witchcraft'? Is he related to the two-headed ogre in the trial field?
Since they can master 'witchcraft', does that mean they can also master other black magic? Now that the hunting team stops here, where have the mutant Gaitrasi behind them gone?
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Zheng Qing subconsciously stood up straight and looked around.
The effect of the small star has not dissipated, and seven or eight light balls the size of wheels are suspended in the air, illuminating the area for miles around. The real moon in the sky was eclipsed by the magic, and its curved body was hidden behind the night.
Colorful lights occasionally flashed in the air, which were the protective magic cast by Jiang Yu, invisibly protecting this pure land under the night.
Xiao Xiao put down the crystal ball, sat cross-legged on the ground, lit a small bonfire, and threw dry branches and grass leaves into the fire with a serious face. Next to him was a cleaned tortoise shell, with Many large and small holes have been drilled with a carving knife according to the trajectory of the sun, moon and stars.
Beyond the fire, pure land and starlight, the dark night became increasingly dense, as if the darkness between heaven and earth had gathered at this moment.
Whether it was an illusion or not, Zheng Qing always felt that there were a few pairs of spying eyes in the darkness, greedily looking at the young wizards in this small piece of pure land.
The worst thing in the world is for the hunter to become the hunted.
"Don't stop, leave the hunting ground first." Zheng Qing immediately made a decision.
The fortune teller who was about to throw the tortoise shell into the fire was stunned when he heard this. He jumped up quickly, stomped and put out the small fire, and at the same time put the tortoise shell into his arms.
"Just in time, it saved me a piece of spiritual armor." The short wizard smacked his lips regretfully: "Originally, I wanted to see who was behind the scenes..."
While they were talking, the seven hunters of the Forgiveness Hunting Team had already started their indoor formation again.
The formation was complete, the orange-red afterbirth slowly rose, and it vaguely looked like a fire pig, which was much improved compared to the meatball-like appearance before.
Sure enough, practice is the best way to master magic.
The 'little stars' hovering in mid-air formed a line, extending from the heads of the young wizards to the outside of the hunting ground, illuminating a path of light like a jade belt in the dark night.
The 'House Fire Pig' rushed forward along the light path, but it could not move forward more than a few hundred meters before it came to an abrupt stop.
Because the dozens of mutated Gaitrasi appeared in front of them again, blocking their way out of the hunting ground. Compared with before, this time the Gaitrasi seemed to be larger in size, with scales clearly visible on their bodies, and their tempers seemed to be getting more and more violent.
Seeing the young wizard opposite, they didn't hesitate at all. With a long hiss, they all charged forward.
