Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

Chapter 358 Infiltrating the Moon Temple

"Then what should we do, we can't stay here and do nothing, right?" Ivan asked, worried about the evil magic that was about to succeed in the Moon Temple.

He didn't know how in the real history, Ugg and the other centaurs defeated the evil god and won this cruel war.He only knew that if he continued to waste time and let the fallen horses successfully summon the evil god, the difficulty of the challenge would increase linearly.

Destroying the summoning magic and re-sealing the evil god, these two things are not at the same level of difficulty.

Aiwen is considering the possibility of a strong attack. Although it is dangerous, it is not completely impossible.

It seems that the most troublesome thing is the crazy fire dragon.He happens to know a powerful black magic, which may have unimaginable effects when dealing with fire dragons.

"You are right. We must hurry up. It will be dark soon, which is not good for us. With the help of the Moon Temple, those fallen astrologers can use the power of the stars to defend." Wu Ge He specially asked the other horsemen to apply some herbal medicine to the wound on his arm and simply bandage it.

"What should we do?" Ivan tapped Uggart's arm lightly with his wand. Although he was not proficient in healing magic, this would make the other party feel better.

"Since you can't fly, swimming in is the fastest way." Ugert said, "I know a secret way into the Moon Temple, which leads all the way to the depths of the lake."

Following the direction of his fingers, Aiwen saw the cold, bottomless dark blue lake outside the Moon Temple, which seemed to be connected to the lake outside the school castle.

He didn't know if there were any merfolk there, but the idea of ​​swimming in the dark water was crazy enough.

He turned his head to look at the proud centaur, to confirm that he heard correctly, the centaur is not some kind of aquatic animal, what should Uggt do?

"The elders have considered this situation before, and they have prepared some herbs for me, which can help us breathe underwater." Ugt took out a thing wrapped in light gray leather from the leather armor, and in AI unfold in front of the text.

Inside is a mass of green seaweed-like herb, like countless slippery, gray-green mouse tails, which are still wriggling slowly.

"Gill grass!" Aiwen recognized the herb, which was beyond imagination.

He didn't know where the centaurs got these rare herbs that grow in the depths of the Mediterranean Sea. You must know that the human wizard Eladora Ketridge would discover this magical herb for the first time in the history of magic several centuries later. As a result, his portrait appeared on the Chocolate Frog's famous wizard card.

She is said to have nearly suffocated by cooking large quantities of gillweed as a side dish, burying her head in a bucket of water for a week before recovering.

Since then, the wizarding world has known the usefulness of gill grass.

Later wizards and potion masters began to analyze the specific ingredients, and developed spells and a large number of precious potions to help wizards breathe underwater.

However, at the end of the dark Middle Ages, the horsemen, who have always been considered by humans to be in an ignorant and primitive state, have discovered and used gill grass, which is really incredible.

"I tried it before. Swallowing it before going into the water will take effect immediately." Ugert distributed part of the gill grass to Ivan. "Because the quantity is limited, only the two of us can sneak in without any assistance."

Ai Wen nodded, looking at the herbs that were still squirming in his palm.

"Listen, human!" Uggart bent down and looked at Ai Wen, his dark brown eyes flashing light, "The action for a while is very dangerous, we are likely to die in the Moon Temple like this. I don't know you What is the purpose of coming here to help us? I am very grateful for this. You have gained the friendship of the horse people, but I hope you can think carefully. After all, this civil war is the horse people's own business. I don't want... "

"Stop talking, I won't back down." Ai Wen interrupted the other party, "Facing that evil god, this is not just the horse's own business."

Besides, this is just Gryffindor's illusion magic.

Aiwen's challenge is to help the centaur re-seal the evil god known as the god of the forest, and he has no reason to shrink back anyway.

Even if he died in the Moon Temple, it was just a failure of the challenge and being sent out.

Ugert didn't speak, he patted Ivan's shoulder hard, then took a new spear and bow and arrow from his tribe again, and put them on his back.

"In a little while, my clansmen will re-attack those guys in the tribe to attract their attention." Ugert instructed, "We will take this opportunity to sneak in and enter the water, and you will follow me .”

They came to the rapids of the river, which ran to the central lake of the tribe.

"Very good, keep the herb in your mouth, I'll swallow it on the count of three!" When the battle in the distant tribe resumed, Ugt made a gesture, "Three, two, one!"

Time seemed to stand still, and Ivan stuffed the gill grass into his mouth.

He hurriedly took off his shoes and socks, and followed Ugt into the icy river.

Not surprisingly, the water was very cold inside!

Ivan felt the skin of his legs burning hot, as if on fire.

The further he walked, the deeper the river was, and the drenched robe fell heavily.

The water was up to his knees now, and his rapidly numb feet slipped on the sand and the smooth, sticky stones.

With all his strength, he chewed the gill grass fast and vigorously. It didn't feel very good, it was tough and greasy, just like the tentacles of an octopus.

Soon, his body began to change, and his lower body soaked in the bitterly cold river water began to swell outwards. Suddenly, Ivan felt as if an invisible pillow was pressing his mouth and nose.

As soon as he took a breath, he only felt his head spinning.

His lungs were empty, and the sides of his neck suddenly felt sharp pain like a knife.

Ivan quickly grasped his throat with both hands, and touched two long and narrow cracks under the ears, which opened and closed in the cold air...

The gill grass worked, he had gills, he turned his head to look at the centaur beside him, this strong centaur has now turned into a monster with four faces.

He also had gills on his face, thin webs between his fingers, and even his four hooves began to deform. He waved his hand to signal Ivan to follow him.

Without hesitation, Aiwen followed Ugt and took the only reasonable move, diving into the water.

Chapter 359 Entering the Temple

Although he collected some gill grass for emergencies, Ivan had never eaten it before. He inhaled the first mouthful of cold lake water, as if he had obtained the oxygen needed for life.

He swims like a real mermaid, and his head no longer spins around in the water.

Ivan took another sip of the cold river water. It was a wonderful feeling. The water flowed smoothly through his gills, transporting oxygen into his brain.

He stretched out his hands in front of him, looking carefully.

They were greenish underwater and had a hideous look, with webbed fingers.He turned to look at his bare feet, which had grown longer and had webs between the toes, as if his feet had suddenly become webbed.

The river water in the evening was no longer icy cold, on the contrary, he felt very cool and comfortable, and his body became very light.

Following Ugt, who also looked very weird, Ivan continued to paddle forward.

With the help of his two webbed feet, he can now move quickly through the water.

Moreover, his vision has become very good, and it seems that he can see clearly ahead without blinking at all.

Along the narrow river, he quickly swam a long way forward, and he could hear the sound of the horsemen fighting not far above his head, and he smoothly entered the huge lake in the center of the tribe.

There was no defense, no resistance, and the fallen horses never thought that someone would sneak in from the water.

Ugert's strong figure was looming in front of him, and finally disappeared.

After entering the central lake, Aiwen swam around in the dark and hazy strange scenery alone, with silence in his ears.

He could see for a ten-foot radius, and with each stroke of the water a new scene suddenly emerged from the darkness ahead: a jungle of rippling, tangled black weeds strewn with shiny pebbles. The wide and flat sand.

Aiwen and Ugert swam deeper and deeper, heading towards the deepest point in the middle of the lake.

Along the central island, the main building of the Temple of the Moon extends to the deepest part of the water, and the silhouette of an ancient, huge building emerges in front of Aiwen's eyes.

He was once again shocked by the miracle created by the centaur, immersed in the greatness before his eyes.

Aiwen's eyes were wide open, looking through the gray and treacherous lake water, looking at the huge black shadow in the distance, where the lake water was dark and hazy.

Countless small fishes swam past him lightly beside him, like silver darts.

In the next second, Ivan saw a big guy moving in front of him, not Ugert, and when he accelerated to swim over, he realized that it was actually a huge squid.

The squid waved its sharp claws, staring at Ivan closely, as if wanting to attack him.

When Ivan held his wand nervously, it suddenly lost interest in him again, and it followed the school of fish away, and swam away quickly.

Ai Wen breathed a sigh of relief, but he soon encountered new troubles.

He met a Grindylow in the thick water grass under the island. This water monster with long feet suddenly protruded from the water grass. long teeth, as if to bite him.

He flicked his wand lightly, and a jet of boiling water emerged from the end of his wand, hitting the green-skinned Grindylow.

The water monster immediately froze together, turned gray, motionless, and slowly fell downwards.

Aiwen's petrification spell worked, but more Grindylos emerged from the water plants. There were no mermaids and other natural enemies. These water monsters reproduced wantonly in the lake.

Going on like this is not an option, Ivan is going to let them know how powerful it is.

He flicked his wand quickly, and Grindylow, who was rushing towards him, was instantly split into two halves. A large lake was stained red with blood, and the water monsters began to retreat.

Aiwen seized the opportunity to swim over. After a few minutes, he slowed down and looked around blankly, looking for the hidden entrance of the Moon Temple that Ugt said.

But he saw nothing, he was alone in the dark lake.

He turned 360 degrees in the water, only to feel the silence oppressing his eardrums.

He knew that he must be at the bottom of a very deep lake, but there was nothing around him except endless darkness, and the huge water pressure made him feel lonely like never before.

He and Ugt separated, and the other party may have entered the temple, and the effect of the gill grass is gradually fading. Just in case, Ivan added a bubble head spell to himself.

Immediately afterwards, the end of his wand began to emit a bright light.

The darkness was dispelled, and Aiwen saw solitary water plants. In front of him, the huge blue-black rock wall was carved with pictures of ancient horse people watching the stars.

There are several stone sculptures of centaur scattered in the depths of the lake, who have stayed here for several centuries. They either hold bows and arrows in their hands, or hold strange-looking scepters aloft.

Aiwen rowed down the rock mass of the Moon Temple for another distance, and when he was secretly worried, a strong arm suddenly stretched out from the middle of the rock wall.

He raised his wand hastily, only to realize that it was Uggart.

They went up along the narrow and slippery passage, and the surrounding rock walls were covered with thick green moss and waterweed.With the help of light and shadow, Aiwen discovered that the entrance to this secret passage was cleverly hidden in the murals, and it was difficult to find if he didn't know the exact location.

"I just turned around and found that you were gone!" Ugert said gruffly. "The effect of the herbs is fading. I can't swim too far to find you."

"I just met a group of Grindylows and fought a battle." Ivan explained, he tapped his robe lightly with his wand, and a large cloud of water vapor came out.

It was a very effective little charm, and he felt dry in an instant.

"Those nasty water monsters have been lurking in the lake, causing us a lot of trouble. They will suddenly attack people who come to fetch water, and take you off into the lake and drown you." Uggt shook vigorously, like a wild beast Shaking off the water droplets on his body, "You are lucky, you came to the entrance, otherwise I don't know what to do."

"Is there any trick to this?" Ivan asked, "I saw similar murals on the rock mass in the lake. How did you find this entrance?"

"It's very simple for us centaurs, just follow the trajectory of the stars." Ugert walked to the top of the narrow corridor and continued, "This is the Temple of the Moon, you have to follow the trajectory of the stars to find the moon Where it is located, that is where the entrance or mechanism is located.”

As he spoke, he tapped lightly on a pattern that looked like a crescent moon, and the heavy stone door in front slowly rose and opened.

Chapter 360 Taboo-filled Evil

"Get ready for battle!" Ugert said in a muffled voice, taking out his spear.

Looking at the slowly opening stone gate, Ai Wen concentrated his attention and prepared to fight.

The next second, he panted and put down his wand, there was nothing outside the stone door.

At this time, the fallen horsemen were all fighting fiercely outside. They did not expect that someone would sneak in from the depths of the lake, and the entire Moon Temple was empty of defenses.

"Very well, our battle plan was successful, and no one noticed that we had entered the temple." Ugert didn't hesitate, and turned straight to the passage on the left, "Go this way, human! We don't have much time to waste , to reach the top of the temple before they find out, there is our destination, and the evil ritual is going on there."

In the dim and flickering light of the torches, the ancient temple is full of mystery.

On the mottled walls, there are only traces of years of erosion, and many unique pictographic decorations and huge stone sculptures of the centaur stand quietly in the corners, covered with dust.

In the empty passage, only the hurried footsteps of two people echoed.

Just like what Aiwen saw when he entered this temple for the first time not long ago, even after thousands of years, the peaceful temple has not changed.

But he soon noticed the difference. When passing through a huge round arched stone room, Ivan noticed that the ground and surrounding walls were covered with dark red paint.

A question arose in his mind, what are these fallen horsemen doing? !

Why should they paint their sacred temples with red paint? It is so unnatural.

Immediately, he realized that he was wrong. These dark red liquids were not pigments at all, they were all solidified blood stains. There had been a massacre here!

There are no corpses, no wreckage, only dried blood clots are left behind, quietly telling the crimes that happened in this room in the past.

Aiwen followed Ugt and walked in, his feet were sticky on the ground, making a slight sound like tearing and tearing scars.

Squeak, squeak, squeak...

The voice sounded very uncomfortable, and the pungent bloody smell of corruption came to the face.

Ai Wen felt sick for a while, and he resisted himself not to spit it out.

"The gang of depraved horse people are completely crazy, I believe that evil god can lead them to glory!" Uggt also looked very uncomfortable, "According to its requirements, they captured a large number of creatures to slaughter here, that evil god and Its worshipers demand a great deal of flesh and blood as tribute."

"What a crazy move, let's go!" Ivan waved his hand.

He tried his best to hold his breath, tightened his collarbone, and suppressed this strong physiological reaction. He never thought that he would see such a scene in the centaur temple.

As Professor Trelawney said, this dark temple is full of taboos.

They moved forward quickly and passed through the entire room. The stone door opened slowly, and Aiwen took the lead. Then, he stopped suddenly, staring at the corridor in front of him with wide eyes in disbelief.

On the ground not far away was the corpse of a water monster Grindylow.
