Vol 2 Chapter 140: Crying kappa

, The fastest update of the latest chapters in the Demon Hunting College!
Facts have proved that, like Verne's old man, both Zheng Qing and Linguo had thought too much before.
As one of the best power centers in the wizarding world, the safety of the First University is beyond doubt.
Not to mention the core area of ​​Shushan Pavilion and Linzhong Lake.
Along the way, except for a tree sperm that fell from a branch because he was asleep, the patrol team didn't even see two kappa, not to mention the dragon beast or other monsters in the dream.
It was the old hound named May, who dragged his heels in the team, got into the grass from time to time, and silently pulled back a few shining red chain snakes.
This made Zheng Qing look at this old hound with more pleats than hair.
The old man Verne asked several senior students to put the red chain snake into the bamboo basket, and then continued to urge the team to move forward.
Zheng Qing slowly realized that while walking, the so-called patrol may be more of a physical and psychological punishment, rather than really expecting these students to do something earth-shattering, or expecting them to save the world.
Just like a patrol member complained when he was bored, if there were monsters in the depths of the first university, what would the entire wizarding world be like!
The wooden staff in his hand whipped in the grass on both sides of the path, Zheng Qing tried his best to widen his eyes, trying to find some fun in this boring patrol.
His wish came true soon.
After the team passed a rockery carved with sandstone, the crowd suddenly became a little commotion.
Several tall boys pointed at a distance, looking excited.
"There seems to be a kappa climbing up there!" Soon, the others in the team exclaimed in a low voice.
Zheng Qing ran a few steps with the team, looking intently, on the beach not far away, there was indeed a thin black shadow creeping on the shore.
In the light of the moonlight, you can vaguely distinguish its beak, round head, pointed ears, turtle back, and the jade dish on top of it that looks like a green plate, which is converging like water and moon.
There is a saying in ancient books: there are spirits and monsters in the water, such as three or four-year-old children, with scales like carp, which cannot be penetrated by a shot. In the middle of July and August, fortunately, he exposed himself on Moraine. The knees are like tigers, and the palms and claws often go out of the knees when they are not in the water. Picking them off can make them feel tired.
Of course, things are impermanent, water is impermanent, and man is impermanent.
The kappa recorded in ancient books evolved to modern times, and many changes have taken place.
Such as turtle back, such as jade dish.
The kappa's back is similar to a tortoise, with a rounded scutellum, a flat carapace, and three longitudinal edges.
In ancient times, the kappa's carapace was similar to the scales on other parts of the body, with jagged comb scales. But with the increasing variety of aquatic elves and the continuous evolution of the murloc race, in order to enhance defense and resist risks, the comb scales on the back of the kappa gradually evolved into thick shield scales, and then slowly evolved into the current tortoise shell form.
The origin of the jade dish is even more peculiar.
It is rumored that there was a great wizard named Hu Gong in the middle ages, and the aquatic elves had the feeling of absorbing the moon, so they caught 13 kappa and created organs to absorb the moon. Or put a mirror on the back, or inlay stones on the forehead, or jade discs on the head. In Fan Nine years, only two kappa with jade discs on their heads can truly absorb Yuehua for their own use.
For this reason, in ancient times, only the water monsters with fangs and claws, like wild beasts, could cast spells and become true aquatic elves, and they did not die out over time.
It is said that the kappa remaining today are the descendants of the two reformers.
Maybe it was because of Gong Hu's instruction and reformation, maybe because he opened up his wisdom and knew the advance and retreat. Although modern kappa are still cunning and cruel, they are more targeted at water ghosts or murlocs, and rarely dare to attack wizards. Most of the time they live on aquatic plants and melons and fruits on the shore; they occasionally eat meat and prefer to dig out clams in the silt or catch long insects in the grass.
The patrol drove the kappa who climbed ashore because they often damage the fruits and fruits cultivated in the school, steal the eggs of the lampworm and tree sperm, and cause the insect king and tree elves to complain to the school many times.
However, the kappa that the patrol team saw on the shore today was very strange.
It did not mutilate the eggs in the tree hole, nor did it eat the melons and fruits with relish in the moonlight.
It is crying.
The moonlight is like water, and the moonlight is like smoke.
The cold spiritual light is like a waterfall falling from the sky, slowly poured into the jade dish above the kappa's head, and slowly gathered a clear spiritual spring.
This is where the Kappa's wealth lies.
The spells hidden in their blood depend on this spiritual spring to cast, and their whole body is absorbed by this spiritual spring. If the spiritual spring dries up, the kappa will be dying.
If you can enjoy the blessing of the huge bright moon above your head on weekdays, the kappa will surely sing and dance and cheer.
And now, the kappa who was crawling on the bank shrugged his shoulders, his eyes full of tears, and he was crying under the moon.
"Is it moved by today's moon?" someone in the team asked in a low voice.
"It's impossible," someone immediately retorted, "Although the Kappa are wise, they don't know how to be grateful... It's better to say that they were moved by the moon instead of crying.
"Although I don't know how to be grateful, Kappa is also a social creature." An old student from Jiuyou College with two black borders in a red robe looked at the crying Kappa, and said slowly: "Look at its sad look. It's like a companion encountered unknown."
Companion encounter unknown? Zheng Qing was shocked, and quickly looked around.
Linzhong Lake is the home base of the kappa from Jiuyou College.
Even the murlocs who regard this as a territory will not kill these water elves at will. After all, everyone knows the cruelty of kappa, no creature in the lake is willing to provoke these difficult guys.
Holding a wooden staff, the old man Verne walked slowly to the crying kappa, lowered his head, his lips moved slightly, as if asking why.
Kappa raised his head~EbookFREE.me~ No matter how little the elixir in the jade dish above his head fell, he just opened his sharp mouth and said something quickly. Its voice is like a baby's crying, but it is shorter and sharper, and it is distracting to hear, and there is a lot of compassion in it.
"Poor, hateful." Zheng Qing murmured.
Not far away, after the old man Verne finished his questioning, he stretched out his wooden staff and pushed it slowly, pushing the weeping kappa down the lake.
The Kappa's head floated on the water for a while, and finally disappeared slowly in the old man's stern eyes.
There were a few extremely shallow ripples on the water.
After a while, all traces disappeared.
When the old man Verne returned to the middle of the team, everyone looked at him blankly, hoping to know the whole story.
"Same as I guessed before." The old man didn't sell it, but he described it very concisely and vaguely: "The little guy went ashore with his companion to play, but unexpectedly his companion was dragged into the depths of the forest by a group of bugs. He didn't dare Too far away from the lake, I can only cry, hope the patrol team will help."
As for the appearance, type, and number of bugs, the old man did not say anything.
But I don't know if it is because of the scruples and inconvenience to explain it, or the ignorant Kappa's words are unclear.
"These guys always use the patrol as a nanny." A black-faced boy in the team complained angrily.
As the masters of the school, the wizards of the First University have an obligation to ensure the safety of other creatures living on campus. But no one is willing to find relatives and friends for a kappa deep in the woods in the middle of the night.
The old man glanced at him, and simply ordered the others:
"Grasp the stick in your hand, turn into the woods, search for the missing kappa...Be careful not to fall behind, and report any abnormalities in time." To watch late-night welfare movies, please follow the WeChat public account: ok电影天堂
