Hogwarts Archmage

"Congratulations on triggering the little easter egg link of the game."

Different from the cold mechanical sound at the beginning, all the players in the swamp heard a very pleasant sound. Everyone, including the big snake, was unable to move, as if they were restrained by something.

"After I finish speaking, this snake that appears as an easter egg will screen you. Half of the players, that is, 17 people will be eliminated...The remaining people can move on, and the winner can get their first How about a reward... a map leading to the finish line? A friendly reminder, as long as it reaches half of the people, the snake will stop moving immediately... You have 1 minute to prepare, now, the countdown begins!"

As soon as the last word was spoken, everyone panicked and began to run away for their lives. Some of them started to curse, but they were not slow at all.

One minute is neither long nor short. The slow-moving people have just started, while the fast-moving people have already jumped three to four hundred meters away. There are also a few smart people who climbed onto the back of the big snake when it couldn't move...

Before these people went up, they didn't realize that the snake's scales were very smooth and there was no place to grab their hands. The big snake shook and threw these people to the ground in two times, spit out the snake's tongue twice, and opened its mouth to reveal its horns. Teeth, a mouthful of venom sprayed from the teeth.

When the people running in front heard the sound of movement from behind, many people looked back. They were corroded into a pool of unknown objects, so they ran faster.

"Oh my god, is it spraying sulfuric acid from its mouth!? How can it be so corrosive!" A person behind wailed. Because he ran slowly and was closest to the big snake, he could see the best. clear.

But he soon stopped. It wasn't that he couldn't run, but that he couldn't run anymore.

This place was a swamp after all. He didn't pay attention to the direction and stepped on an unexplored area. Below was a piece of silt of unknown depth.

After seriously considering which was more uncomfortable, being suffocated to death or being bitten to death, he turned his head with an ugly expression and glanced at the rapidly approaching big snake.

The big snake came closer, and the big snake rushed over again. Just when he was relieved and was about to try to save himself, a whip-like snake tail whipped over.

The force was so great that this guy's fat body drew a not-so-beautiful parabola in the sky like a broken sack filled with rocks, and smashed the fastest guy into a meat pie.

The snake is a very patient creature. After it killed the first few people, it did not rush to hunt others. Instead, it wandered around the swamp at will, and occasionally encountered an unlucky person next to it. Get rid of it.

But this random and purposeless approach has put greater psychological pressure on everyone.

No one knows where its next destination will be.

Everyone has confirmed one thing. The speed of this guy is very, very terrifying. Let alone a 1-minute journey, even a 10-minute journey is just a flick of its tail for it. Its huge size gives it unparalleled strength, but it does not give it any strength. its corresponding speed.

Whether or not to be eliminated seems to be a matter of luck.

The broadcast just now said that there were only seventeen people left, but now there are nearly 30 people here. No one knows whether they will be next.

Its eyes wandered and slowly locked onto the two guys, one fat and one thin, in front of it to its right.

The thinner one wanted to run away. He thought that the fat man could block him. But when the fat man was desperate, he didn't know which tendon was on the wrong string, so he grabbed the thin man's clothes and took him back. , and pushed in the direction of the snake's head.

A gust of wind that could make a person's face hurt passed by in front of the fat man, making him unable to open his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, there was no figure of the thin man in front of him.

Only a huge snake head stared at him with cold eyes, its head rising and falling, as if it was satisfied.

Is this... encouragement?

The fat man suddenly noticed something and looked at another group of people not far away from him.

Everyone saw what he just did. They seemed to understand, but they didn't seem to understand.

The scene was very quiet, eerily quiet.

Ma En put his legs on the table and frowned to observe what was happening on the huge screen.

"Is it... too much? Has it become an experiment on human nature? This thing cannot stand the test."

Esther sat down next to him with a cup of tea: "Don't pay too much attention, they won't really die. In the end, this is just a game."

"Really..." Ma En slowly took the tea and took a sip.

Margery's eyes moved as she sat opposite him.

"I'll go to the nearby workshop, and you guys can chat first." She laughed and said in a low voice.

Ma En nodded slightly and waved his hand casually.

Hermione had been staring at Max's picture and didn't pay much attention to the swamp. After finally seeing Max find a place to take a break from the heat, she finally looked up at the picture reflected on the wall with confidence.

"Oh my god! What are you doing..."

Margaery, who had just stood up, grabbed her arm: "Hermione, come with me to the workshop next door. I need your help with something."

"But..." Hermione pointed at an image holding a knife and stabbing the chest of the person next to her as if she was about to say something, but before she could say anything, she was pulled away by Margaery.

Ma En didn't realize it. He just looked at the reflected picture quietly, and occasionally smiled when he saw the huge chaos.

Hermione casually placed it in the parchment on the table, and Max frowned.

She always felt that something was wrong, and the longer she stayed under this cliff, the more panicked she became, but the embryo attached to her heart kept comforting her, telling her that everything was normal.

Hmm... This is what Max just discovered not long ago. She can communicate with the "child" she adopted. The other person's words are pure and flawless, but full of wisdom, like a bachelor who has not experienced the world but has read countless books.

She was talking to herself in a low voice, her voice was so low that it was unimaginable. Esther glanced at the parchment, and when she came to refill the tea, she undoubtedly covered it with another piece of paper.

She turned around and wanted to sit back, but found Ma En looking at her expressionlessly.

"What's the matter? Honey."

"Ester, what on earth are you doing?"

"I…"

"You said you wouldn't lie to me."

Ma En gently tapped his temple with his finger: "I just cleaned my mind and discovered something very interesting."

He sat up straight and looked directly at his girl: "You are trying to suppress my humanity, why?"
