Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

Buckbeak's twelve-foot wings spread beside them, soaring high into the air.

The wings were flapping non-stop, countless green branches and leaves were rapidly retreating, and Hogwarts Castle was rapidly shrinking in turn.

Buckbeak flew very fast, and after passing through the vast sea of ​​trees, Ivan soon saw the centaur tribe sitting on the hill.

Because the last time he came was late at night, it was the first time for Aiwen to see the whole picture of the centaur tribe.

Rows of low wooden houses are neatly arranged together, extending from all directions to the huge moon temple in the center.

Buckbeak did not pass through the centaur tribe, which was protected by magical magic, preventing all flying creatures from approaching.

Aiwen knew that it was the huge magic engraved on the top of the Moon Temple at work.

That magic can absorb the power of the stars and operate as a magic supplement to protect the entire temple.

With a low cry, Buckbeak circled around the centaur tribe, turned in one direction, and flew over the other side of the hill.

Below, the trees are thinning out, replaced by a vast expanse of swampy wetlands.

The surface and subsurface soil of the swamp is excessively wet, producing many unique wetland plants and swamp plants.

Although it was still daytime, the thin mist rose from nowhere.

They permeate the swamp, adding a mysterious color to this place.

Chapter 535 Great Swamp

According to the information he received from Hagrid, Ivan directed Buckbeak to fly deep into the swamp.

They flew through the white mist, keeping an eye on the ground.

Although the water and grass in this place are delicious, the creatures living in the forest rarely come here.

There are many parts of this swamp that are bottomless and dangerous.

It looked no different from ordinary ground, but accidentally fell into it, and could only wait for death in desperate struggle.

Only the most experienced explorers like Hagrid can find a way through the depths of the swamp after years of groping.

Although animals in the forest rarely come close, that doesn't mean there aren't other creatures in this swamp.

In fact, the situation is just the opposite. There is no invasion of forest species. In the unique environment of the Great Swamp, many rare and special life forms are bred here.

They influence each other to form a complete ecosystem.

During the journey, Ivan saw patches of mandrakes.

Mandrake root, also known as Mandrake root, is a powerful restorative.

Used to restore a deformed or enchanted person to their original state, and is an essential part of most antidotes.

A few days ago, in Professor Sprout's herbal medicine class, Ivan changed the pot for a Mandrake seedling.

Near the mandrake, he also saw dozens of magical animals that looked like a piece of wood.

They have claws with fins and very sharp teeth to glide through swamps.

These amazing animals are swamp diggers that feed primarily on small mammals and plants.

They can wreak havoc on the ankles of passers-by, but a favorite food is the mandrake root.

The rhizome of the mandrake is an ugly baby image that can make a piercing cry. The swamp diggers feed on these roots. After they have eaten the mandrake, they will see a bloody, A mess of tangled things.

The rhizome of the mandrake has been eaten badly by the swamp diggers, and it can no longer cry.

In addition to the swamp digger, Ivan also saw two Hincklepunk.

They hid in puddles by the side of the road, only the lanterns hanging from their front feet glowed faintly.

In this always foggy swamp, this light can lure travelers or passing animals to follow.

Hinkpunk will give false directions and lead them deliberately into bottomless swampy areas or puddles.

After the travelers die, they feed on their rotting corpses.

Moving forward, next to a large reed, Ivan also saw a creature like an enlarged firefly.

Its tail glows a misty reddish or yellow with sharp spikes.

It floats silently a few feet above the water, catching the plankton within.

But before it flew far, it was jumped out and eaten by a big fish covered with green scales and sharp fangs.

In addition, there are a few round gray meat worms crawling slowly in a swamp full of mushrooms.

This creature has a huge mouth and keeps devouring the mushrooms in front of it.

Behind its body, there is also a hole, from which green slime overflows.

Ivan and the others seemed to have entered a new magical world, and the scenes they saw were completely different from what they were used to.

"The ancient ruins you mentioned are in this place?" Keresis frowned.

"This is where Hagrid met the manticore, and we have to go a little further east," Ivan replied.

"I am absolutely crazy to come to this kind of place with you, and be careful of the manticore that may appear at any time, it is definitely a trouble beyond your imagination!" Keresis said, " Moreover, I doubt that the ruins you mentioned will have any exploration value, I have seen too many ancient buildings like this, and there is nothing but rubble inside."

As the place where the statue of the evil god was first discovered, even if there are only gravel left, it is worth Aiwen to explore.

"I have my own measure. You just need to act according to the plan we set before. I asked Hagrid about the habits of the manticore. As long as there are no accidents, there will be absolutely no problems."

"Let me tell you first, even if your plan and trap work, I can only control and control that guy for an hour, hurry up!" Keresis stared at Ivan gloomily, "If an hour hasn't come out, I won't go in and save you."

"I know!" Ivan nodded, "I will pay attention to the time."

Having been in contact with dangerous magical animals for a long time, wizards have concluded and explored a set of effective control methods.

For example, using stun spells, special potions and herbs, and capturing traps and so on.

Just like the manticore we are about to face, the skin of this monster is immune to most runes, and it is very aggressive and very dangerous. It is very difficult to defeat it head-on .

Ivan doesn't know if Keresis can do it, but it will definitely cost a lot.

Fortunately, they didn't come here to defeat the Manticore.

As long as this guy can be trapped for a period of time, enough for Aiwen to complete the exploration of the ruins.

After consulting relevant information, Aiwen chose a trap tool that met his requirements.

He asked Sirius to help him get this trap and send it to Moody's office. It was a magic item specialized in dealing with dangerous magical animals.

As long as it is triggered, it can quickly stretch out several chains to entangle the trapped magical animals.

Under the control of the wizard, the chain is difficult to break free, and the duration is related to the magic power of the wizard who controls the trap.

With Keresis' strength, it would be more than an hour to control that manticore manticore.

Of course, he was very dissatisfied with being asked by Ai Wen to do this kind of thing, but there was nothing he could do.

The current situation is that no matter what request Aiwen puts forward, Keresis must try his best to meet it.

What's more, this matter is not dangerous at all, it only needs Kerexis to consume some magic power.

For the past few years, Hagrid has been feeding the manticore living in the swamp sporadically.

Ivan learned from Hagrid that the manticore's favorite food is the meat of the piggies.

Hogmen are magical creatures that live in rural areas of Europe, Russia, and the United States.

It looked like a stunted piglet, with long legs, a stubby tail, and squinting black eyes.

It often sneaks into the pigpen, eats the sow's milk with the piglets, and wreaks havoc.

If left unnoticed for a long time, the piggies will grow up.

The longer it grows and the bigger it grows, the more devastated it is on the farm it enters.

Ivan also asked Sirius to get him a lot of dwarf pig monster meat, which was sent to Moody's office together with the trap.

Now, these things are all packed in the package that Keresis is carrying in his hand.

Chapter 536 Swamp Ruins and Megalithic Temple

In the boundless swamp, Buckbeak flew forward for more than ten minutes.

The surrounding fog is getting bigger and bigger, and there is a large area of ​​mist. It is impossible to see anything clearly, and even the sunlight is blocked.

In the terrible thick fog, the eyes have completely lost their function, and there is a vast expanse of whiteness everywhere.

Ivan can't see anything now, he can only hear the sound of Buckbeak flapping his wings.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

It flapped its wings more and more slowly, and it was unclear where the sound was coming from.

They just floated in the thick fog like this, and there seemed to be no end to it.

The ominous premonition in Aiwen's heart is getting stronger and stronger, as if there is a monster following behind him, and it may rush over at any time.

"Do you feel it, something is not quite right here..." Keresis said softly.

There was a hint of surprise in his voice, as if he had discovered something.

Soon, Ivan also felt that a faint magic power permeated around them, and the feeling of depression came from this.

That is a very strange magic power, not any kind of magic that Ivan is familiar with.

They have a repelling and restraining effect on other magic powers, and they are suppressing the power in Ivan's body.

"Lumos!" he yelled, and the end of his wand began to shimmer.

Ivan straightened his arms and raised the wand, the light became stronger and stronger, penetrating through the thick fog around him.

Dimly, he saw huge domed plants.

These strange plants, each hundreds of feet high, stood silently in the dense fog.

They cover a large swamp area like an umbrella, and they are like mushrooms that have been magnified countless times.

The strange magic power comes from these plants, and it seems that they want to absorb and swallow all the magic power in the surrounding air.

Obviously, they did not grow to such a large size naturally, but became such a large size under the catalysis of some mysterious magic.

Perhaps, it is the magical power seeping out of the annihilated ruins, which have an obvious repulsive and devouring effect on other forces.

Hagrid had said that the manticore's lair was nearby.

"This is where Hagrid said!" Ivan said to Keressis, "We'd better be careful."

"This place makes me feel uncomfortable, fighting in the thick fog, the manticore has an advantage over us!" Keresis said.

He then raised his wand upwards and said a spell.

In the next second, with them at the center, a hurricane suddenly blew up, blowing away the thick fog around them.

Aiwen was secretly surprised by Keresis' sudden display of strength.

Although this magic is simple, if he wants to blow away the mist in such a large area, he can't do it without using the magic stone.

From this point of view, this cunning vampire must have retained his strength in the last battle.

This guy is really a dangerous person that people have to cheer up and deal with carefully all the time.

Although he is now an ally with Ivan, Voldemort is also his ally.

The guy seemed to have nothing he couldn't sell as long as it was in his own interest.

Dealing with this guy is really tiring. Aiwen doesn't want to be sold one day and help him count down the money.

The wind whizzed past, and the fog became thinner and thinner.

After about 1 minute, the fog cleared, and Ivan finally saw the surrounding scene clearly.

They were directly over a lake that had dried up, and the lake took on an irregular, outward-scattering shape.

The soil inside is dull black, as if it has been corroded by something and has lost all vitality.

Unlike the big swamp full of vitality that I saw before, there is no grass around here.

There are only large and outrageous dome plants scattered around, the tops of which are strange reddish brown.

Directly in front of them was a huge triangular stone building.

Its main body has sunk and dumped in the black silt, leaving only a few parts exposed.
