Monster Hunting High School

Chapter 161 Qingming Festival

Friday is April 3rd, and the next day, Saturday, is Tomb-Sweeping Day.

Originally, according to tradition, this day was a fixed holiday in the wizarding world. First University would also follow the example and have a day off to allow students enough time to mourn their ancestors and plant willows to welcome the spring. At the same time, it also prevents the rising of Yin Qi and rampant ghosts from affecting students. cause some damages.

Of course, to the students at First University, the latter reason is more like a joke. After all, in the entire wizarding world, the ghosts who dare to harm First University students on the First University campus have not yet been born.

However, many clubs have seized on these traditions and set up projects such as haunted houses and scare mazes on this day as team-building activities to enhance friendship among classmates.

But this year is different from previous years.

Because Tomb-Sweeping Day falls on Saturday this year, it is originally a holiday. After a brief discussion, members of the First University Professors’ Joint Meeting decided that there would be no additional holiday for Tomb-Sweeping Day this year and would be merged with the holiday on Saturday.

It has to be said that for most students, this is terrible news.

A gloomy atmosphere has spread since Friday night, accompanied by light rain, covering the entire campus. But I don’t know if it’s because of the holiday or because the students are mourning the lost day off.

Early on Saturday morning, Zheng Qing got the discharge certificate from the nurse and went straight to Feiyuan where he was doing morning classes as usual. Because this morning, he had another thing to do.

But when he arrived under the tree where he usually did morning exercises, he unexpectedly saw Elena's figure.

"Morning!" The Gypsy Witch greeted Zheng Qing happily: "You seem to be recovering well... Do you usually do your morning classes here?"

Zheng Qing nodded cautiously, looked at the witch, and then at Xiao Xiao, who was already sitting aside meditating.

Xiao Xiao hugged his old turtle and shrugged, saying that he didn't know what was going on.

Zheng Qing's eyes fell on Elena again - she was rarely seen wearing trousers and a shirt today. Her long hair that used to be loose was also tied up and tied into a bun, revealing her white neck, making her look particularly capable. . I don't know if it was an illusion, but Zheng Qing always felt that Elena was a little more sunny and bright today than usual.

"Are you planning to go to the hunting ground?" Zheng Qing looked at the Dharma books and talismans hanging on the witch's belt, and asked tentatively: "I remember that Matthew's hunting team has not trained for a long time... Are you planning to participate in the Spring Festival?" Hunting?”

"I have plans to participate in the spring hunting," the witch stretched her arms and replied with a smile: "It's just that she is not joining Matthew's hunting team, but the caravan hunting team."

Spring hunting is spring hunting, similar in nature to winter hunting. It is also a practical activity held by the school all year round. As for the Caravan Hunting Team, it is a new hunting team formed by the Gypsy Witches. Last year, they participated in the freshman competition with Zheng Qing's forgiveness, but their results were not outstanding.

Hearing that Elena left Matthew's hunting team and joined the caravan hunting team, for some reason, Zheng Qing felt a little secretly happy in his heart.

With this secret joy, even the gloomy weather has a little more color.

When Zheng Qing was practicing boxing in the drizzle, he felt that the breath all over his body was a little more lively than usual.

Soon, the morning class ended.

Xiao Xiao left obediently under the watchful eyes of two wizards, a male and a female. By the way, he also took away a certain little fox that had been getting tired of Zheng Qing's side - playing with Zheng Qing for a while during morning classes was already a habit that Poseidon developed in school.

"I'm going to wipe its hair," the little wizard explained in a superfluous manner before leaving: "You see there's so much rain falling on it, it won't be good if it catches a cold."

Poseidon whined and was held in Xiao Xiao's arms. His two big eyes looked at Zheng Qing suspiciously, wondering why he didn't follow him. However, when he thought that he would be able to play happily without Zheng Qing's restraints, the little fox quickly put this confusion behind his mind and happily let Xiao Xiao take him away.

After the 'lightbulb' left, the atmosphere between the young wizards and witches became a little more alienated than before.

Zheng Qing took a deep breath, feeling the smell in his nose that was slightly different from the past, and asked as if he had nothing to say: "Have you changed your perfume? It smells different from before."

Elena raised her eyebrows, with a half-smile expression on her face: "Did it smell better before, or does it smell better now?"

When Zheng Qing heard this, his expression froze - he felt that his question was a bit stupid. More importantly, he always felt as if he had experienced this conversation. There is a strong sense of déjà vu.

"It smells just as good." The young public-funded student replied decisively: "The fragrance used to be rich and strong, as delicate and charming as a red rose; now the fragrance is light and long, like an orchid blooming in the abyss. Spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums, each has its own flavor. Good at winning."

The gypsy witch hummed softly, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and took a few steps to the side.

This posture made her figure appear taller.

"Our hunting team will go to the outskirts of the Silent Forest for training later. Do you have any materials you want? I can help you collect some." Elena didn't seem to adapt to the strange atmosphere between the two, and there was no more Foreshadowing, tell your purpose directly.

The strange feeling in Zheng Qing's heart became stronger and stronger - coincidentally, he was going to the Silent Forest today. Just not in his current identity, but in the identity of a certain black cat.

A few days ago, Kolma used the pre-arranged channel to notify the 'Black Cat', requesting to go to the Silent Forest to start the first secret search today.

Her reasons are very good. On the one hand, today is Qingming Festival. For safety reasons, many students will stay in the dormitory and will not go out at will. On the other hand, the surging Yin Qi between heaven and earth is likely to stimulate the secret realm to reveal traces. If caught, Taking advantage of this opportunity, it is very possible to complete the contract in one search.

For Zheng Qing, although there was a certain risk in this matter, he felt that with the care of the Vice Chairman of the Student Union and the Mouse Immortal, he should be able to handle it, so he did not refuse and agreed.

However, he limited the search time to before noon on the pretext of safety.

That is from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

After Kolma hesitated, he ultimately did not reject the suggestion.

"Why did you choose to go to the woods today? Today is not a good day...and the woods are not safe." Zheng Qing felt a headache when he thought about his mission today, and couldn't help but vaguely dissuade the witches: "Maybe your hunting team can Let’s discuss it and see again in two days?”

Elena patted the Dharma book hanging on her waist very hard, and said nonchalantly: "The black tide has just receded for a few days, and it is a time of peace in the forest... I haven't seen those magicians in the North District. Use this time to collect resources in the forest."

"Just take this opportunity to exercise."
