Hunting College

　　 The door of the study room was slowly opened with a creak.

　　 A refreshing breeze passed through the house, sweeping away the remaining burnt smell in the house.

　　 The curtain hanging down in front of the window shook slightly.

　　 Squeak, the door of the study was closed again, letting the uneasy breath fall outside the door.

　　The old servant Constantine slowly walked into the study with an exquisite silver tea set.

　　 After serving hot sweet tea to the two guests, he finally couldn't help but sniffed.

　　 "Young Master." He glanced at the doctor suspiciously, then stopped talking.

　　 "It's okay." Dr. Dozem shook his hand comfortingly, indicating that he could withdraw.

　　 The old servant hesitated, and after a respectful salute, he retreated.

　　 The young red-robed wizards are still immersed in the shock brought by the flame just now.

　　 In order to survive, a worm that can shed into a dry skin, after all the hardships, was eventually swallowed by the fire on the day of resurrection.

　　 This kind of powerlessness makes people feel an inexplicable sadness.

　　 Zheng Qing took a sip of tea, the rich sweet fragrance and hot taste made him take a breath.

"So, as you saw last, although scarabs like dryness and sunshine, they are most afraid of flames. I have to say that this is a huge paradox." The doctor stirred the bowl slightly with the glass rod Can Hui concluded in a weird tone: "However, the wizarding world is always full of paradoxes...or contradictions."

　　 "Thank you very much for your teaching." Jiang Yu put down the tea cup and nodded slightly to thank you.

　　 "You're welcome, I think you will use this knowledge sooner or later." The doctor twitched his mouth, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face: "My cuties..."

　　 said, he knocked the heavy fish tank by the wall with a glass rod.

　　 The corpse beetles, which were originally clumped with skulls and crossbones, ran away amid the crisp sound of percussions, and drilled into the gaps in the deeper part of the fish tank. But in that small space, this effort is obviously fruitless.

　　 "They told me that a group of uninvited guests came to the school."

　　 "Uninvited guest?" Zheng Qing asked in confusion.

　　 "A group?" Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows.

"Every group of corpse beetles has its own very strong concept of territory." Dr. Dozem put down the glass rod, opened his arms, and gestured: "Within this range, any foreign invaders will make them feel uneasy... just like now such."

　　 Zheng Qing turned his head and looked at the glass fish bowl carefully.

　　 was alarmed by the noise before, and the corpse beetles that were running away formed a ball again, lying on the skull.

"If it's just coming out of the Silent Forest and passing by the campus to hit wild food guys, they won't be so nervous." Dr. Dozem lowered his arm and looked at the bugs solemnly: "It can make these natural predators feel uneasy, hug Those trembling in groups can only be invaders from outside the island."

　　 "The intruder from outside the island." Zheng Qing licked his lips and asked hesitantly: "Will it be a monster?"

"Demon?" The doctor shook his head repeatedly, and apologized: "Maybe I didn't explain clearly. For the corpse beetle, any creature is food...except for themselves. So whether it is the Great Wizard, Sea Monster King, or other Any strange creatures will only arouse their appetite."

　　 "The intruder in their eyes is only the same kind of corpse beetle." The doctor concluded.

　　 "Are these insects picky eaters?" Jiang Yu was silent for a moment, and then asked, "For example, only eating animal eyeballs."

　　 Zheng Qing glanced at her carefully, and sighed inwardly.

　　 "No." The doctor decisively denied this possibility: "For these bugs, except for bones, everything else in the creatures is edible."

　　 "Are there any creatures that would remove their eyeballs after killing an animal?" Zheng Qing added: "Is there such an animal on the island, such as in the school laboratory, or deep in the Silent Forest?"

　　 Jiang Yu pursed his lips and glanced at him gratefully.

"It's true that there are very few creatures with this special habit." Dr. Duzem was stunned, thought for a moment, and shook his head: "To be precise, there is only one kind I know, Horus, that is a group of giving up normal life for strength. The fallen wizards are also a different kind even among the demons. Because they have been watching the darkness all the time, they have lost their eyesight, so they can only regain the light by devouring the eyeballs of animals. Horus likes spiritual eyeballs, and wizards have the most eyeballs. Well, if not, small animals with greater spirituality, such as black cats, white foxes, and yellow dogs, are also good choices."

　　 Zheng Qing listened silently. He felt that he had become more and more mentally resistant to these strange creatures.

　　, at least, it won't be easily creepy anymore.

　　 "Does the school have such creatures?" Zheng Qing asked, looking at Jiang Yu anxiously.

"School?" The doctor twisted his lips, showing a mocking smile: "Those old people who hold the traditional golden rule, how can they allow this dirty creature to leave a trace of breath on campus. Even in the black prison, There won't be any of these fallen people... For the wizards of the school, the only destination for this monster is nothingness."

　　 "Is there any other possibility?" Jiang Yu asked, "It's a creature that specializes in eyeballs."

　　 "Of course." Dr. Duzem blinked, "Wizards are creatures who specialize in plucking eyes...they like to gouge out the eyes of demons in the laboratory."

　　 Zheng Qinggan smiled.

　　 He thinks this doctor is really not suitable for telling jokes.

"Speaking of it." The doctor looked at the two young people in front of him seriously: "If you encounter a large group of scarab beetles in the near future, it will be difficult to escape their chase by simply running away. At this time, the flame is better than any spell. More effective."

　　 Jiang Yu sighed slightly and did not continue to speak.

　　 The study fell into a strange silence for a while.

　　 Zheng Qing could only hear the sound of tick tick clocks walking.

　　 He went to ~www.ltnovel.com~ and saw a wall clock with a dark wooden shell embedded on the wall on one side of the study.

Under the silver-white dial, the brass pendulum swayed unhurriedly from side to side according to its own rhythm, and the rattling sound was precise and mechanical.

　　 There seems to be nothing to stop its movement.

　　 "Clang! Clang! Clang!..."

　　 Whether it was the dehydrated beetle that turned into ashes, or the later Horus who specializes in eating eyeballs, these terrifying creatures originally made Zheng Qingting's heart hairy, but suddenly there was a continuous bell ringing in his ears.

　　 He was really taken aback.

　　 "Oh! Oops." Dr. Dozem exclaimed in annoyance behind him: "Time is up!"

　　 Zheng Qing looked at the wall clock again, and happened to see a big rooster with a blue flesh crown drilled out of the small wooden house on the top of the wall clock, just fluttering its wings a few times.

　　 "Eating! Eating! Doctor, you should eat!" The rooster fluttered its wings, opened its mouth, and started howling with its throat: "Eat at twelve o'clock! Doctor, you should eat!"

　　 "Shut up, you idiot!" Dr. Dozem rarely showed a little embarrassed expression.

　　 He grabbed a piece of paper from the cluttered desk, rubbed it, and smashed it against the rooster on the wall.

　　 The paper ball hit the chicken head precisely.

　　 The rooster wailed and slammed back into the small wooden house on the top of the wall clock.
