Entering the labyrinth, the roaring and tsunami-like cheers outside were blocked and could no longer reach the ears of the warriors. This should be the effect of magic.
The tall hedge cast a dark shadow on the path. I don't know whether it is because the hedge is high and dense, or because it is also enchanted. But Schelling, surrounded by four balls of light, has at least fifteen feet of visibility, which is a great advantage whether it is detecting enemies far ahead or preventing sneak attacks in the darkness of the corner.
Xie Lin walked slowly along the path casually, and then discovered that four forked roads suddenly appeared in front of him.
He waved his wand in an extremely complex gesture that included twelve variations, and then whispered: "A hundred rats are running amok."
One hundred tiny voles were transformed and ran evenly into the four forked roads. These transformed magical voles have an amazing sense of smell and can find the Goblet of Fire as quickly as possible. Even if they encounter traps and monsters on the road, they know how to understand it. Sacrifice part of the quantity to force the crossing.
At this time, Bagman's whistle came from behind Schelling one after another. It seemed that the whistle was no ordinary whistle. Its whistle could penetrate the sound insulation of the maze, making Schelling understand that all the warriors at this time Has entered the maze.
Xie Lin suddenly had a feeling that the magic vole had made a discovery, and he chose the leftmost path. Just after he stepped into the path, the hedge at the entrance of the path suddenly slid and gradually closed the entire entrance, as if the entrance had never existed.
Harry originally entered the maze with Eleanor.
After walking about fifty meters, they came to a fork in the road and the two looked at each other. "Goodbye." Harry said and took the path on the left, while Eleanor took the one on the right.
There seemed to be nothing on the road Harry had chosen. He turned to the right and hurried forward, holding his wand high in one hand, trying to see as far away as possible, but still couldn't see anything.
Harry kept looking behind him. He seemed to feel that someone was watching him secretly. The maze was getting darker every minute, and the sky above turned dark blue. He came to the second fork in the road.
"Show me the way," he whispered to his wand, holding it flat in his palm. The wand twirled, targeting the dense hedge to his right. That was north, and he knew that to get to the center of the maze, he had to go northwest. Your best bet is to take the left path and then turn right as quickly as possible.
The road ahead was still empty. When they reached a right turn, Harry turned in. There was still no obstacle. Harry didn't know why this was happening, and being so unimpeded made him a little panicked. You should have encountered something now. The maze seemed to seduce him with the illusion of safety.
"Whoosh, bang!" Two consecutive brilliant sparks shot out from the field, and the directions seemed to be southwest and southeast respectively.
"What!" Harry was shocked. "Two contestants have quit! It's only been fifteen minutes at most!" Harry's heart suddenly sank. The danger of this maze was much greater than he expected. He could survive it. Until now, it was purely due to his luck that he had not encountered any test at all.
"Who will quit?" Harry thought secretly. Although Schelling and he were both fourth-year students, he didn't know why he didn't subconsciously think that Schelling would be one of the eliminated ones. "It should be Demster." Lang and those two female students from Beauxbatons..." Harry secretly guessed.
Xie Lin looked at the two sparks of distress in the sky with a thoughtful expression. He knew the strength of Eleanor and Katalin. Even if there was a fire dragon sitting in the maze, they would not be eliminated so quickly. Putting it this way——
"Did Barty Jr. take action?" Xie Lin thought silently, "Or was it not just Barty Jr. who interfered with the maze?"
Suddenly Xie Lin's eyes narrowed and he raised the wand in his hand. A whistling wind suddenly blew from behind, as if something was approaching quickly.
It's a snail!
The Blast-Ended Skrewt at this time was already very different from the one seen in Hagrid's class. Schelling remembers that the last time he saw a snail was in December before Christmas, when it was six feet long. Their thick gray protective shells are enough to withstand almost all spells cast by young wizards.
After that, Hagrid's half-giant ancestry was exposed by Rita Skeeter in the newspaper. Hagrid left his job for a while and was replaced by Professor Guerra-Plan. When Hagrid came back to resume his duties, he was no longer there. The Blast-Ended Skrewt was taken out in class.
It is now the end of June. After six months of brutal cannibalism and weeding out the weak and the strong, there is only one Blast-Ended Skrewt left, the one in front of Schelling.
This blast-ended snail was at least ten feet long, and strange lines of dark gold began to appear on the gray protective shell, as well as shocking barbs, shining with sharp edges. The most amazing thing is that Schelling clearly remembers that the snail has no head. One side of it is a scorpion tail, and the other side is different depending on the gender-the male one has a stinging needle, the female one has a stinging needle. It's a sucker.
But this Blast-Ended Skrewt—
Schelling couldn't tell whether it was a male or a female.
It grew a long tube, which was covered with a large number of suckers. At the end of the tube were six terrifying white tusks, which opened and closed as if they were eagerly waiting for prey.
Xie Lin frowned. There was something wrong with this snail. Even if only the last one was left due to cannibalism, it should not have the characteristics of both sexes. This was obviously artificial. Makeover!
Xie Lin knew that the protective shell of the snail made it immune to most magic, and the carapace on this snail was obviously extraordinary. Just when it appeared from afar, Xie Lin had already tried an explosion spell, and actually let it rush over unscathed. Schelling was most aware of the destructive power of the Explosive Curse he cast. Based on this, even if he cast the most powerful Death Curse, he might not be able to penetrate the Blast-Ended Skrewt's defense with one blow.
The best way to defeat it is to rely on physical means. After all, the life-killing curse consumes a lot of money, and he still has to retain his magic power.
With a slight movement of his right hand, the long-lost sterling silver dagger slipped into his hand. He rushed forward a few steps, and suddenly there was wind under his feet, and his whole body flew off the ground.
The long tube of the Blast-Ended Skrewt was like a freely retractable tentacle, nimbly attacking Xie Lin's position in mid-air. Xie Lin injected a large amount of magic power into the pure silver dagger. The indestructible spell on the dagger was activated, and the blade surface pulsed with lightning-like silvery white light.
Xie Lin hissed in snake language, and a green snake-headed arrow appeared and flew towards the pipe with the sound of whistling wind.
Although the bomb-tailed snail has amazing defensive power, it doesn't seem to have much wisdom. It relied on its strong defense power to ignore the snake-headed long arrow and continued to attack Xie Lin. As a result, the snake-headed arrow hit the pipe hard, and although the long arrow was It was unable to penetrate the carapace, but the impact force from above successfully knocked the tube aside.
"Grow it longer!" The pure silver dagger was transformed into a two-handed giant sword following Xie Lin's thoughts, and he slashed it down fiercely. "It depends on whether your carapace is stronger or my sword is sharper!"
There was only a hissing sound, and the silver sword slashed through the carapace on the tube, cutting off the entire long tube of the snail. The long tube rotated and flew away, and the fracture on the snail's body There was a disgusting orange liquid flowing out everywhere.
Although the blow was successful, Xie Lin still felt uncomfortable. The force of the shock coming back from the long sword made his jaw and arms ache. Fortunately, he knew the art of flying without weapons and could fly backwards to deal with the shock. Take away the force.
The entire carapace of the fried-tailed snail was vibrating violently, and the friction between the carapace and the carapace made a harsh squeaking sound.
Suddenly, a wave of scorching hot air spurted out from the tail of the snail, making a crackling sound, and sprayed towards Xie Lin, who had just landed.
Xie Lin pulled back the right hand holding the sword, arched his whole body, then shouted "Wadi Wasi", flicked it hard, and accurately shot the silver sword into the fire-breathing back hole of the snail like a javelin. .
Readers should have no difficulty in imagining what would happen if a vent that was spitting out fire was blocked.
The snail was fried (not fried), and the entire tail was exploded from the inside. For a moment, minced meat flew everywhere, and disgusting orange-yellow liquid splashed everywhere.
Xie Lin's supreme wizard robe has the function of not staining liquids and stains, so those splashing liquids did not affect him.
He walked forward slowly, picked up the sterling silver dagger that had returned to its dagger form, and then solemnly examined the patterns on the blast-tailed snail's carapace. He lightly tapped the carapace with his wand, and a black flame suddenly burst into flames, burning the entire body of the snail cleanly, leaving no ash behind.
Schelling was sure it was black magic.
And it’s a rather unpopular one——
The blood transformation of the dark devil.
In the ancient war era, wizards used this black magic to transform magical creatures and turn them into weapons for war. Creatures transformed by this black magic will become more aggressive and extremely resistant to magic. Even the Death Curse cannot kill them in one blow.
The only restriction is that this kind of black magic can only be used on magical creatures, and they must be magical creatures with extremely powerful skin and body. The body of a human wizard cannot withstand the transformation of this kind of black magic.
Xie Lin smiled faintly. It seemed that this game was starting to become interesting!
