Chapter 223 Ferret
A white figure jumped out of the bushes with a whoosh, and ran away along the thick snow.
This is a ferret.
The slender body is covered with thick pure white long hair, and the fluffy tail is like a sensitive rudder, swinging left and right to control the direction of the ferret.
The round little ears are attached to both sides of the head, showing a special streamlined shape that will not allow the airflow in the air to create any resistance to the progress of this ferret.
It's just that compared to the elegant and pure appearance, the ferret's eyes are not so calm.
Even while running, the little guy's round eyes couldn't help but look around, looking panicked, as if he was looking for something or afraid of something.
The tepid winter sunshine coated the surface of the snow with a layer of ice glaze, giving those fluffy snowflakes a slightly harder shell. Therefore, the white figure ran on the snow and did not get stuck in the snowdrift. Instead, it ran much faster.
In the distance, from behind the bushes, there were several noisy shouts, and as the howling cold wind swept in, the white figure ran faster and faster.
"Hurry up, it's nearby!" A rich male voice shouted, breaking the silence in the forest: "Don't let it escape!"
"The gentleman is already outflanking the front. It can't escape!" Another slightly calmer voice said: "Fat man, go and assist the elder and pay attention to the movements outside the hunting circle...According to the doctor's speculation, we will surround the hunting circle." The one who lives there is only the leader, and if the remaining little ones refuse to surrender, they will definitely come to rescue it.”
"Roger it!" the first voice replied, and then said with some hesitation: "Um, captain...do you still have the armor and horse talisman? It's the armor and horse talisman with the light body talisman nested in it. You know, I look like this , running in the snow is very hard..."
"My code name is 'Sir', don't always call me captain!" Zheng Qing stared at the fat man angrily, then reached out and took out two light yellow talismans from the gray cloth bag.
This was his sudden idea two days ago. When drawing the armor and horse talisman, he embedded a light body talisman. This new talisman paper can be very effective in reducing the user's weight and speed when used. It is surprisingly useful for many guys with unkind body types, such as Fatty Xin and Zhang Jixin.
At the very least, when they are chasing prey in the snow, they don't need to tie two sandbags weighing tens of kilograms to their legs, nor do they need to stop every now and then to pull their feet out of a snow pit.
Fatty Xin beamed with joy after receiving the two talismans handed over by Zheng Qing.
"Okay captain, we will never let you down!" He stood at attention and reported seriously.
"You have already disappointed me," Zheng Qing couldn't help complaining: "How many times have I told you to call me 'sir'... After all, it is also a formal hunting event. Can it give people a slightly more formal feeling?"
But because he complained a little too much, Fatty Xin turned around without listening and ran towards the outskirts of the forest, leaving behind only a snowflake like white sand and an agile fat man's back. And above the fat man's head, there was a red paper crane flying. The direction he was going was exactly the area where Zhang Jixin, the safari leader of the Forgiveness Hunting Team, was located.
"After this winter hunting is over, we must strengthen the training of the hunting team," Zheng Qing turned around and looked at Dr. Xiao, who had been following silently beside him, and muttered: "It's so bad. I can’t even use code names skillfully..."
"It's really too bad." Xiao Xiao glanced at the Colt python hanging on the young public-funded student's belt, and kindly reminded: "Before conducting the 'Code Name' training, I personally think that the hunting equipment needs to be strengthened. Use...such as a shotgun. Even though you wrap your talisman bullets with talisman paper, it is too expensive to waste eighteen talisman bullets to catch a weasel."
He was talking about a previous encounter with the Exoneration Hunting Team.
After determining the new hunting plan, the Forgiveness Hunting Team began to conduct a large-scale investigation of rat holes in their hunting area. They soon found several nests of large rats and brought them to justice. - Unfortunately, these mouse holes did not contain some weasels as Xiao Xiao expected.
But from another perspective, finding these mice does not seem to be completely useless.
After the young wizards selected among these prey, except for some mice with strong physiques and complete appearance, which were caught in cages and prepared to be hung on the counter of D&K after the winter hunting, the rest of the old, weak, sick and disabled were hung by them with straw ropes. Then throw it into the snow to serve as bait.
It must be admitted that most of the time, old-fashioned and simple methods are the most effective way to solve problems.
Soon, several 'elegans' appeared in the eyes of the hunters of the Forgiveness Hunting Team due to the temptation of these prey.
Then it was a wild hunt.
Because of the large deviation from the original hunting plan, many of the spells, talismans, and even magical weapons prepared by the Exoneration Hunting Team were not very suitable. Using the restraint spell used to deal with silverback gorillas to tie up weasels is like using anti-aircraft cannons to kill mosquitoes.
It's not necessarily a hit.
After all, mosquitoes are so small and flexible. Zheng Qing has every reason to believe that the gap between the barrages fired by the anti-aircraft guns can allow an entire army of mosquitoes to fly out calmly.
If the effect is not good, make up for it with quantity.
The young public-funded student was cruel, gritted his teeth, and loaded talisman bullets on his Colt three times. Then, from far to near, he fired at the weasels dancing in the circle of forgiveness.
This time, those ‘monkeys’ had no chance of survival.
Of course, the extravagant behavior of the young government-funded student was also criticized by other members of the Exoneration Hunting Team - what everyone cared about was not how many talismans was wasted by Zheng Qing's move, but that Zheng Qing did not truly act as a hunter. mentality to approach hunting.
In Zhang Jixin’s words, ‘You are not here to hunt, you are here to play games. ’
At this moment, hearing Dr. Xiao's old words mentioned again, the young public-funded student suddenly became angry: "I know, I know, why can't I finish it...I rolled all the talisman balls myself." "Fah, I should be very pleased with the improvement in Ara's ability to draw symbols!"
Xiao Xiao frowned, listening to his captain's sudden change of tone, a trace of sadness finally appeared on his face.
"Do you still recite the "Duo Heart Sutra" that the young monk gave you every day?" He asked tentatively: "How do you feel? Does it have any effect?"
