High School of Demon Hunting

Chapter 478: Chapter 147: The First Thing to Do in the Hunting Ground_1

Zheng Qing was not sure what ’Secret Garden’ meant for a hunting team, but that did not stop him from feeling the strong pride in the tone of the Blue Robe Wizard.

However, Deng Xiaojian did not give him the opportunity to ask questions, but instead changed the subject and posed a question to the several absolution hunters:

”The second step of training is to strengthen your understanding of the hunting ground... What do you think is the primary task of a hunting team after entering the hunting ground?”

The task of a hunting team entering the hunting ground?

Zheng Qing scratched his head, looking at Zhang Ji Xin.

The young public-funded student was quite self-aware. Although his first feeling was that they should start hunting after entering the hunting ground, his intuition told him that this matter was not so simple.

Sure enough, Elder Zhang Da gave a completely different answer.

”We should first establish a defensive position,” the red-faced male wizard changed his brutal and simple response during the battle and gave a very conservative answer: ”After entering the new hunting ground, the hunting teams should first establish a base to provide support for subsequent tasks. ...The base should include a safe house, large-scale demon detection equipment, fixed defensive arrays, and additional baggage, etc.”

”This is the response mode adopted by large-scale hunting activities. Deng Xiaojian nodded and then shook his head, vetoing: ”You are all newbies... The school won’t arrange for you to hunt for more than one day. Under these circumstances, you should take some more positive actions.”

Saying this, he turned his eyes to others, trying to find other answers.

”The first thing should be a comprehensive self-check.” The answer Doctor Xiao gives is completely confusing to Zheng Qing.

”Self-check?” Deng Xiaojian also seemed a bit surprised by this answer: ”What are you checking?”

He asked in a curious tone.

”Check the status of the Law book, check if spells and talismans can be activated normally, check if the effect of the potion has changed, etc.” Xiao Xiao was very serious in his tone as he went with his notebook: ”In the 1991 Baghdad Invitational, because the Housesin hunting team did not conduct a complete self-check beforehand, a large number of magical tools malfunctioned, and they were easily defeated by the Sam Hunting Team...”

”Oh, oh, this matter.” Deng Xiaojian showed a sense of realization: ”Indeed, at any time, after a hunting team enters a new world, the first thing hunters have to do is to test whether their magic, talismans, formations, and the like are still effective.”

”Many hunting grounds with strict conditions will have various environmental restrictions. For example, the complete version of ’Yin Qi Lei’ can kill a big demon on Buji Island, but in some hunting grounds, it can only make people feel scalp tingling and hair standing on end.”

”This is because the hunting ground needs to simulate actual combat to the greatest extent...In actual situations, demons are very good at leading wizards into environments that are not conducive to their spellcasting. Of course, hunting teams that are conquering new worlds implement this requirement the most thoroughly. They particularly value the effects of magic in different worlds.”

”But for a new hunting team, developing good habits at the very beginning is indeed a very important thing. You need to write down this content.” As he was babbling, Deng Xiaojian took out a small notebook and made a few strokes.

Zheng Qing glanced at him with a vacant eye.

”Isn’t this something you hadn’t thought of either...” The captain of the Absolution hunting team felt it necessary to confirm this matter.

”Haha, how could it be! I was just seeing what level you guys have reached...” Deng Xiaojian touched the back of his head, laughed loudly twice, and forcibly continued the previous topic: ”What else? What do you think the first thing to do de after entering the hunting ground is?”

”We might need to tidy up our dress.” Dylan raised his hand with a somewhat gloomy expression: ”I heard that demons, due to their chaotic property, are more interested in untidy wizards... So dressing up neatly should, to some extent, reduce our risk when facing demons.”

”What?!” Deng Xiaojian was stunned.

”We supposed to eat first when we enter the hunting ground!” Xin Fat Man also enthusiastically answered this question: ”Maintaining a good mood and physical strength in the hunting ground is very important. The only thing that satisfies both is good food.”

This answer silenced Deng Xiaojian, the temporary coach of the Absolution hunting team.

Zheng Qing laughed dryly twice, and reminded carefully: ”So... senior, what do you think we should do first after entering the hunting ground?”

”I think that before you enter the hunting ground, you should all go to the school hospital to get a dose of ’Clear Heart San’ to stop those weird ideas in your brains...” Deng Xiaojian took a deep breath.

Obviously, this was a joke.

Zheng Qing laughed a few times in cooperation.

However, since no one else joined in, he quickly shut his mouth.

Deng Xiaojian raised his index finger, shook it in the air, and continued: ”...the first thing after entering the hunting ground is that you need to understand the hunting ground.”

”From the basic size of the hunting ground to the terrain, landforms, to the basic environment, temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, etc., every detail must be mastered... This is the responsibility of the auxiliary hunter.”

As he said this, he glanced at Doctor Xiao.

”Understood.” Doctor Xiao raised the brush in his hand to show he understood.

”Here are some commonly used spells. For example, ’Fixed In The Middle’ used to determine the position - at the end of October, the stars are dull, and it is appropriate to settle the position; Another example is ’Measure It By Day’ used to measure shadow times, most of the time, this spell is more reliable than the timer in your hand; of course, there is the most commonly used ’Sky’s Manifest Thoughts’ used to monitor all directions, ensuring that every minor detail in the hunting ground is under your control.”

”Of course, where there are monitoring spells, there are naturally counter-spells... we can understand these details slowly later.”

”Apart from these common spells, when you first enter the hunting ground, you will use a few basic skills.”

”Such as ’Latitude And Longitude Grid’, maybe some of you have read this term from professional journals such as ’Road of the Glorious Hunting Team’...”

Zhang Ji Xin responded loudly, indicating he knew.

”...The basic meaning of the ’Latitude And Longitude Grid’ is that through the horizontal and vertical coordinates set by the hunting team, it can determine the positions of the hunters, prey, and other competitors, and can provide very effective help for the hunting teams to accurately locate in the whole hunting ground.”

”Most hunting teams set the origin of their coordinates to be their position when they enter the hunting ground... Through this kind of method, it can also effectively prevent other hunting teams from stealing your hunting information that you pass to each other... You have to know, neither ’bird singing’ nor paper cranes are as safe as they seem.”
