Chapter 194: Difficulties in Second-Order Expansion

At the end of the first quarter, the half-full moon faces west.

The cold moonlight covered the dark night with a hazy silver gauze, making the whole world more alive and less boring.

Outside the school, deep in a semi-abandoned hunting ground near the Silent River, a ball of earth-yellow flame-shaped afterbirth was beating slowly like a heart.

This hunting ground is still the same one used during the last training of the Forgiveness Hunting Team. Although there was an accident involving the mutant Gatrash, on the one hand, no real accident occurred. On the other hand, the school was also very curious about who was behind the trouble, so not only did it not close the hunting ground, but it repeatedly reminded the Exoneration Hunting Team. Go to training on time and don't waste school resources.

In other words, Zheng Qing and his hunting team have become a group of delicious bait. That's why he felt uneasy about Poseidon and those little wizards following him to the hunting grounds.

But conversely, the young public-sponsored students also doubted whether the wizards who had the courage to cause trouble in the First University would not have the brains to appear in this hunting ground for the second time. From this point of view, compared with other corners of the school, Compared to this, this semi-abandoned hunting ground seemed safer.

Back to business.

The number of hunters participating in the training today has reached the highest peak since the training, and almost all of them are on the battlefield. For the five-person standard hunting team, this means that there will always be two hunters on the bench.

Jiang Yu was the first to come out and took over the important task of looking after the little witches and Poseidon; followed closely by the usually taciturn Blue Bird, who also came out and expressed his willingness to sit on the bench.

Zheng Qing was noncommittal about this.

The reason he didn't deny it was because the two hunters really needed to stay outside; and the reason he didn't agree was because he had another consideration for the hunting team's training.

In a formal hunting competition, every contestant may have an accident. When an accident occurs, the existence of alternate players is very important. If you want to maintain a hunting team that is proficient in the second-level battle formation, then not only the five hunters on the field need to be familiar with the positioning of the formation, but the hunters on the bench also have such needs.

Therefore, he plans to train with the currently determined lineup first, and then make rotations. It's just that before the second-level battle formation was actually deployed, and he didn't know the difficulty of the deployment, he was not sure about the feasibility of this idea.

As it turned out, the wizard's caution was well-founded.

The first-level form of Bofu's battle formation is very simple. The Sin Hunters' solid foundation and the proficiency accumulated from previous trainings make the first-level battle formation unfold particularly smoothly. The raised afterbirth is thin and even, the magic flame is pure, and As for the hunting team, they changed their formation and movement speed several times, but kept the battle formation stable.

But when the hunting team began to try the second-level transformation, the difficulty suddenly increased.

"Keep the distance! Keep the distance! Keep! Keep the distance! Don't keep the distance!" Zhang Jixin was in the center of the battle formation, trying to maintain the magic circle stacked around him while shouting inconsistent orders: "...Fat man , you were too slow and too far away, and you broke the second layer of the inverted triangle formation!"

Unlike the first-level battle formation, which only needs to pay attention to the movement of the feet and changes in the formation diagram, the second-level battle formation is relatively more "three-dimensional". For example, the first-level battle formation is a flat formation drawn on parchment, while the second-level battle formation is four or five parchments stacked on top of each other, with different formations drawn on each parchment.

In other words, when the second-level transformation is carried out, the hunters not only need to maintain the correct position, but also need to accurately grasp different magic formulas, recite different spells, and at the same time capture the rhythm of the fluctuations in the air, trying their best to maintain themselves and other teammates. 'Harmony' between.

For a group of sophomores, those are certainly a lot to ask for.

"It's none of my business!" Fatty Xin was not a good-tempered guy. After hearing the red-faced wizard's accusation, he rolled his eyes strangely: "... When I was the formation's keeper, the second-level expansion went very smoothly. You are stumbling here, and you don’t blame yourself for your own problems, but you blame me?”

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Zhang Jixin was speechless.

Because Xin is indeed telling the truth.

After entering the hunting ground, the Forgiveness Hunting Team has adjusted its formation four times, with different hunters in charge. Except for the time when Fatty Xin served as the formation's eye, the hunting team barely succeeded in deploying the second-order formation and transformed into a translucent giant with a hazy khaki color all over its body. Several other attempts failed.

With good luck, for example, when Xiao Xiao served as the formation's eye, the giant he transformed into was only slightly shorter - only about three meters, which was not as powerful as Fatty Xin's blue giant.

For example, when Dylan served as the formation's eye, the giant he transformed directly turned into a huge skeleton, and it was also a weird skeleton with a deformed skull and no ribs.

It made the group of little witches watching the game laugh out loud.

The result of Zhang Jixin's position as the keeper this time was neither good nor bad. Because he summoned a pretty standard Bofu giant, estimated to be ten meters tall, but this giant was slightly 'disabled', missing a leg, so that as soon as he took a step forward, Fell to the ground, the formation also broke down.

"Don't make any noise, don't make any noise."

Zheng Qing began to make peace with the mud, and comforted him: "Tonight is the first time I try it, and there will inevitably be mistakes. I remember when we first learned the binding spell, Li Meng could get distracted even if he chanted the spell..."

"Have you brought yourself to Li Meng's level?" The red-faced wizard glanced sideways at the hunting team leader.

After Zheng Qing was choked, he was not angry. He was still smiling and said comfortingly: "...On the contrary, I think if Li Meng practices our battle formation, he might perform better than everyone else."

"Spirit witches are indeed more adaptable to mimicry changes." The diviner of the Exoneration Hunting Team nodded in agreement - Zhang Jixin, who was about to choke, immediately shut up when he opened his mouth.

"bingo!"

Zheng Qing snapped his fingers and nodded to Fatty Xin: "Just like Xin, in the four attempts just now, he performed the best as a formation guard. Why? I think it is most likely related to his status as Big Blue...because he I am familiar with the feeling of transforming into a giant, so when the battle formation unfolds, I can capture the subtle changes in the formation fluctuations, which is something that no one else has."

Xiao Xiao nodded in agreement, pushed up his glasses, and added: "In addition, there is another point worth noting, that is, the changes in the formation are very closely related to the 'characteristics' of the hunter who presides over the formation... This is why Dylan transforms into a giant skeleton."

"And you transformed into a dwarf." Mr. Vampire Werewolf retorted.

When the others heard this, they all showed knowing smiles, and the originally anxious and tense atmosphere due to training gradually dissipated.
