Chapter 236 Black Pocket

"According to Brother Qing's mentality, it seems more suitable to go to Atlas to become a paranoid believer of a certain god, or to enter Starry Sky Academy to become a fighting madman."

Dylan held his chin and commented in a low voice, his tone full of curiosity: "So...why did you choose Jiuyou Academy in the first place? If you change your mind now, I can help you find the way to Starry Sky Academy and try Help you apply for some transfer procedures?"

He said the latter words to Zheng Qing's back.

Zheng Qing lowered his head and pretended not to hear Mr. Vampire Werewolf's somewhat serious teasing.

Just because he doesn't speak doesn't mean others will remain silent.

"A momentary fluctuation in mentality cannot determine a person's true quality." Xiao Xiao walked on the other side of Zheng Qing. After hearing this, he turned his head and looked at Dylan, denying: "I think the school roster is considering this issue. It will definitely be more thoughtful and profound than you think.”

"This is just your imagination. Maybe from a certain perspective, those magical creations are indeed very magical, but in many cases, they are stupider than pigs." After saying this, Dylan suddenly shook his head and changed his words: " No, pigs are still very smart animals...they are worse than amoebas!"

Zhang Jixin did not join the conversation between Dylan and Xiao Xiao.

Compared with the two of them, Elder Zhang Da, who once served as the main hunter of the hunting team, appears to be more stable and considers the problem more comprehensively under the current situation.

"Do you need me to ask your family to say hello?" He walked a few steps to Zheng Qing's side, lowered his voice and whispered: "If I remember correctly, your family has no acquaintances in Danhag... Don’t be too busy to refuse. I have nothing to do with it anyway. It’s just a matter of submitting a few more pages of defense materials. It won’t be more troublesome.”

"Well, I can help with this too." Dylan added after realizing it.

Zheng Qing glanced at his two companions with a touch of emotion, but did not completely reject their kindness.

"Don't worry about the defender," the young public-funded student tried to sound more relaxed: "It won't be too late to make a decision after the school's preliminary investigation... If the situation is serious, the school will definitely tell us in advance. "

"In addition, I actually don't feel that I have done anything wrong... As the doctor said before, in the rules of monster hunting, hunters are allowed to use certain uncontrollable means when facing 'threats beyond their capabilities' …”

The brief discussion among several young hunters came to an abrupt end.

It's not that they have nothing to talk about, nor that they have arrived at the 'forest cabin' that serves as the base camp for the hunting team's rear. But Assistant Coach Hilda, who was walking at the front, suddenly raised her arm and made a stop gesture.

"The situation around me doesn't seem right... Everyone, please be alert!"

Hilda's voice was low, but it rang clearly in everyone's ears.

The young hunters of the Exoneration Hunting Team, who were muttering in low voices, immediately shut up when they heard this. They subconsciously formed a defensive formation and looked around vigilantly.

Thomas, who was following a few people, had a satisfied smile on his face. He did not disturb these young wizards, but flew straight towards Hilda to help him further explore the situation ahead.

Soon, a series of news was transmitted to other members of the team along with the analysis of the peripheral assistant coaches.

"The basic constants of the Silent Forest are experiencing abnormal fluctuations! The magic concentration is rising sharply at a rate of 5% per minute!"

"The influence factor of the First University's Guardian Formation is rapidly declining! It is expected that in ten minutes, the suppression of this area by the Guardian Formation will be reduced to a minimum!"

"No mutations were found in the trees, shrubs, and dead grass in the forest."

“No variations were found in the snowdrift.”

"The scan found no abnormal life fluctuations, and the scan found no strange aura."

"The sky is darkening faster than normal... Natural factors such as thunderstorm cumulus clouds have been ruled out."

The series of complex constant values ​​exchanged by the teaching assistants did not have much reference value for Zheng Qing - in fact, he did not know some of the accurate constants of the Silent Forest, and could not conduct comparative analysis - in comparison, Zheng Qing had personal experience with the last piece of information mentioned by the teaching assistants.

When the team set off, it was already past four in the afternoon.

Because it is winter now, according to normal time logic, the sun has basically disappeared below the horizon during this time. Only a gray-white sky is left, spreading gray-white light to the earth - this process usually lasts for about an hour, and by around 5:30, even this little gray-white light will be swallowed up by the night.

But it was not yet five o'clock, and the sky was already darkening at an abnormal speed.

It was as if someone had used a large pen dipped in thick ink to smear it from the sky one by one. Looking up, Zheng Qing could clearly see different shades of black covering their heads from the horizon.

In the distance, it is extremely dark, as if it were a midnight without the moon and stars; nearby, there is still a little light, like ink dizzy with clear water, and there are a few wisps of darkness brewing in the light color, between the clouds and treetops. Rolling, flowing.

"Attention all!"

"With the Forgiveness Hunting Team as the center, shrink the formation and stay put!"

"The diviner tries to guess the retreat route, and the auxiliary hunter tries to contact the school!"

"The battle team is preparing to combine the thunder spell!"

"The auxiliary team prepares buff magic for all!"

"Don't use any summoning spells yet!"

As the team leader, Zhang Yu, after discovering the abnormal situation, decisively ordered and assigned tasks in an orderly manner. This calm attitude is very morale-boosting when encountering emergencies.

And his response obviously triggered the power hidden in the darkness.

Just when the team stopped advancing, established a defensive formation, and began to measure and check the surrounding environment, the power that was originally hidden in the darkness gave up hiding and suddenly exerted force.

It was as if a huge black bag fell from the sky. In just an instant, the sky that originally had a gleam of light turned into a dark world where one couldn't even see his fingers.

At the same time, the sounds of wind, voices, rustling branches, and crunching in the snow all around disappeared. Just like that big black bag that carries away the light from the sky, it also robs the world of sounds.

Facing the endless darkness and silence, fear naturally arises from the heart of everyone.

In particular, the young wizards of the Exoneration Hunting Team lacked the means to deal with this situation.

Fortunately, they had built a defensive formation early. With the magic power flowing slowly through the formation nodes, the four young people had a fragile connection between them, preventing them from falling into delusion.
