Schelling turned a corner again.
What came into view was a large misty fog. It's the kind where you can't even see it if you put your hand out in front of you.
Xie Lin didn't dare to be careless at all.
His senses told him that this was where the magic voles were wiped out.
Although magic voles are not good at fighting, they are small, fast, and have keen intuition and sense of smell. It is not easy to pack up 25 magic voles in one go. Poison leopards that can emit poisonous gas in their breath, and basilisks that can kill with eye contact may be able to do it, but this maze is designed for the strength of seventh grade students, and it is impossible for the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts professors in charge of the design project Such a dangerous monster would be put in.
This fog seems to be filled with the power of magic. Even with the magic eyes and the mysteries of Amaterasu, Schelling cannot see through the reality in the fog.
But Xie Lin had the experience of facing the fog before. He first cast the bird transformation spell. His level of transformation was far from what it was a year ago. In one breath, he transformed into twelve white eagles the size of golden eagles. As the wand pointed forward, the flying eagles rolled up powerful airflow and rushed into the mist.
The fog dissipated and the scene ahead gradually became clearer. Xie Lin's eyes flashed with surprise. Standing in front of him was a towering giant tree. As the mist drifted away, it was slowly revealed from branches to trunk.
The shape of this tree is somewhat similar to a palm tree, but it is different. Even Schelling, who is well-read and well-informed, has never heard of this plant. He was certain that this was by no means a magical plant commonly seen in Europe, and it was even less likely to be included in the Herbalism teaching content at Hogwarts.
Different from the thick and short palm trees, the trunk of this tree is straight and straight, and the whole body is covered with silver leaves. The leaves are like swords and make a trembling sound.
Xie Lin suddenly felt that the air around him became colder, and an astonishing murderous intention surged from the direction of the silver tree.
"Killing intent" is an invisible and formless aura that usually only appears on the body of a dark wizard, and it must be a dark wizard whose hands are full of blood and who has killed too many people to be able to condense murderous intent into his body. To put it bluntly, it is because a large number of killings will distort the soul of the wizard. Although the power of magic comes from blood, it grows under the influence of the soul and spirit. A twisted soul is enough to make the essence of magic become violent. , that is, contaminated with "murderous intent."
What's going on with a magical plant showing strong murderous intent?
At this time, a harsh screeching sound came into my ears, and countless sword leaves shot out of the air at such a fast speed that they looked like streams of light. The white eagles did not even make a cry of grief, and they exploded into a ball of clouds in the air. The blood mist spreads around the sword-leaf palm trees, giving it a bloody special beauty.
The sword leaves flew away, revealing countless holes on the trunk, just like the mouths and noses of animals opening and closing. When all the white eagles were slaughtered, the tree body shook, and the sword leaves flew back one after another, with the petiole facing down, inserted into the holes. orifice.
It turns out that this is how all 25 magic voles were wiped out. Magic voles rely on smell rather than vision to identify directions, so the fog has no effect on the voles. However, there are hundreds if not thousands of leaves on this sword-leaf palm, and a mere 25 voles are really not enough to rush through.
Xie Lin did not receive any attacks, which also shows that the perception of this tree is limited. According to the position where the white eagle was attacked just now, as long as it is not within three feet of the sword-leaf palm tree, It will not trigger Jianye's attack.
Having said that, with such a tree blocking the front, unless you are willing to give up your advance and turn around to other routes, you will have to pass the test of the sword leaf attack.
This level is not easy at all for a seventh-grade wizard. If you use the Iron Armor Curse to resist and rush over, it is impossible to escape unscathed under the intensive sword leaf attacks. Even if you use multiple Iron Armor Curses to protect the vital parts of your body, it will be enough to seriously injure the little wizards and even cause them to lose their ability to continue. The ability to compete.
Of course, Schelling is not an ordinary fourth-year wizard.
Space magic definitely won't work. He doesn't have the ability to deflect such a dense attack.
"Guardian of the Gods" can indeed resist all attacks, but when using the "Guardian of the Gods", he cannot move. His original intention of creating this magic was to protect himself and those around him on a large scale, and to win the opportunity to cast a spell to counterattack, just like he did against the Swedish Brachysaurus in the first competition event.
Xie Lin once heard Zhang He mention that in the Chinese theory of elemental magic, Eastern wizards believe in the "five elements" rather than the "four elements". Among the five elements, "wood" generates "fire", so it is easy to burn.
In other words, the fastest way to pass this level is to use fire to destroy the tree.
Ordinary fire spells, if you think about it, are impossible to do. Even if Schelling uses blue flame potion to raise the flame to the temperature of blue flame, it may not be able to destroy this magical tree.
Then, the only ones that can be considered are Mo Yan and Li Huo.
Both of these are fire magics with astonishing destructive power, and looking back, there is actually a huge connection between the two magics.
In the previous Fantastic Beasts movie, after Grindelwald used the magic flame to protect himself and took away his followers, he uttered the words "I hate Paris" and released the magic flame. After losing the control of the spell caster, it spontaneously turned into a fierce fire, and almost burned the entire Paris.
It can be seen from this that Mo Yan is actually a version of Li Huo that has been suppressed, weakened and controlled. Grindelwald used his family's natural talent for "inspiring people" and combined it with Legilimency to create the magic of "Demon Flame Protection".
Compared with Mo Yan, Li Huo's destructive power is more powerful, but it is also more difficult to control. Even Dumbledore and Grindelwald do not dare to cast the Fire Curse lightly, or allow the Fire to grow out of control as it continues to burn. They must firmly control the Fire at all times. force.
The last time Xie Lin cast the Fierce Fire Spell was during a group battle against the Eight-Eyed Spiders. At that time, he did not try to control the Fierce Fire. Anyway, his purpose was to let the out-of-control Fierce Fire rage freely and burn the Eight-Eyed Spiders to pieces. Save one. Now he was in a highly anticipated competition. If he chose to cast the Fire Spell, he was not sure whether he would accidentally cause an earth-shattering fire.
After thinking about it, the most suitable flame magic to be used at this moment is none other than Mo Yan.
"Magic flame protects the body!" After reciting the spell, Xie Lin was like an ensemble conductor, waving the magic wand in his hand gracefully, and a blue flame surrounded him, rising and falling like a long fire snake. With.
As Schelling continued to dance, the fire snake targeted the sword-leaf palm tree and launched attack after attack.
The trunk of the palm tree is "wood" in the five elements and is extremely easy to burn, but this cannot be applied to those silver sword leaves. Those sword leaves are not afraid of fire at all. As long as the fire snake enters the sensing range, it will launch a fierce offensive, stinging the fire snake with holes and sparks flying.
After Xie Lin controlled Mo Yan for more than ten attacks, he gradually became familiar with Jianye's attack mode, and the flame offensive he organized became more and more smooth and skillful.
Suddenly, he felt a faint movement in his blood.
A warm current followed the flow of blood in the blood vessels and flowed into the limbs and bones.
Feeling this extremely familiar feeling, Xie Lin smiled——
[The secret of the bloodline of the Rochier family - "Elemental Affinity" awakens! 】
At this moment, the blue fire snake burning around Xie Lin stood upright, and two egg-sized white flames appeared on the snake's head, as if this unintelligent fire snake suddenly possessed spiritual intelligence. Schelling only needs a thought, and the fire snake will make any action that Schelling has in mind, as if these flames are no longer just tools for Schelling to enslave, but are comrades who have a deep connection and bond with him.
Xie Lin's mind turned, and the upper body of the fire snake suddenly split into two, two into four, four into eight, and finally split again, becoming the form of the nine-headed fire snake.
The Hydra attacked flexibly, but no matter how intensive the Sword Leaf Palm's attack was and no matter how fast it attacked, it could not completely defeat all the fires. Finally, one of the fire snakes saw an opportunity, opened its bloody mouth fiercely, and bit the trunk of the sword-leaf palm tree. With a bang, the sword-leaf palm tree began to burn from the middle of the tree, slowly spreading upwards, and eventually burned the entire tree to ashes.
The sword leaves lost their holes in the trunk, and they were like homeless wanderers who had lost their homes. They first let out a sharp cry, and then they were inserted into the earth with a sizzling sound, and withered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
