Harry Potter Fantastic Beasts Illustrated Book

Chapter 171 Kill them

After Snape brought back the two acromanders, he huddled in his office.

Until midnight, the ghosts of Hogwarts often hear the groans of acromantula.

And most importantly, Snape also stopped his Potions class.

When Harry, Ron and Neville heard the news, they froze in place for a long time before they let out a cheer that resounded through Hogwarts Castle.

With the basilisk guarding the cave entrance and Snape taking the two acromantids into the office, Hogwarts returned to its former tranquility.

In addition to the daily forest inspection work, the professors have shifted their work center to the teaching work of the students.

Everyone who was immersed in the joy of Snape's suspension was quickly pulled out and thrown back into the ocean of homework pain.

"David, have you finished Professor McGonagall's dissertation?"

At a table in the middle of the library, Harry bit the nib of his pen in pain, with several large thick books in his hands.

One of them was flipped to the middle, and Harry copied a few paragraphs out of it, although he had made his handwriting as large as possible, but he only wrote two or three inches.

Knowing that Professor McGonagall stipulated at least 8 inches, Harry scratched his hair and stared at David with watery eyes.

"Not yet." David raised his head, looked away from the book, and said with a smile, "I plan to write at night, it will be more efficient to make a surprise attack."

"David won't show it to you when he's done!" Hermione said aside, "You should do your homework yourself, and the questions assigned by Professor McGonagall are not difficult, you just need to read a few more books, you can do it I figured out the answer myself."

Harry nodded skillfully. Anyway, David didn't do it, so Hermione was right in everything!
At this moment, Mrs. Pince noticed the movements of the few of them, and she immediately waved the feather duster in her hand in dissatisfaction, signaling that if they talked again, she would drive them out.

Hermione quickly waved her hand, promising that they would not speak again.

The library was once again shrouded in silence, only the sound of flipping books and quills sliding across the paper.

David pursed his dry lips, and turned to the next page in the magic book that Dumbledore had given him in front of him.

At this moment, his brain was stabbed, and some strange pictures were forced into him.

He seemed to be in a forest, surrounded by some chaotic and fierce calls, and occasionally there were two cracking sounds of branches breaking.

But he couldn't see anything clearly. There were only some red, blue, yellow, and green colors in the picture, among which red was the most active.

This looks like a thermal imaging picture?

The intervening scene didn't last long, and it faded away quickly, but a violent emotion remained in David's heart, as if he really wanted to slaughter everything in front of him.

"What's the matter with you? Are you not feeling well?"

Hermione immediately noticed that something was wrong on David's face, and asked hastily.

"It's okay, maybe I'm a little tired."

David replied with a smile, flipping through the book aimlessly.

What happened to the picture just now?

Is it because of this book?

David turned the book to cover.

It says "A Preliminary Explanation of the Principles of Magic", which was translated and written by Dumbledore in front of him.

The old man will never leave any means on it, will he?

After thinking about it, David ruled out this answer.

Suddenly, the image of holding a unicorn last semester appeared in his mind.

The feeling just now is a bit similar to the feeling when I watched the memory of the unicorn last time
Something to do with the basilisk?

Of the magical animals related to David, it is the only one with this ability.

No, I have to go and see.
Touching the green snake in the bag with his hand, he found that it was also a little restless, and David made a decision instantly.

"I'm going to the bathroom."

David said without changing his face, then got up and gently pushed the chair away, and walked to the bathroom in a few steps.

After closing the door of the cubicle, David's mind trembled, searching for the location in his memory, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The mouth of the Acantara's cave was covered with debris, and the site that was originally damaged by Snape was even more dilapidated. Except for the giant tree above the cave, it was difficult to find a single intact tree around it.

The basilisk was still faithfully guarding the acromantula's hole. Its body was covered with many small scars, some scales had been peeled off, and blood continued to flow along the lines of the scales, dripping onto the ground.

Many tree monkey frogs surround the basilisk, their eyes are as red as those of the acromantula, jumping non-stop, grinning, showing jagged teeth, making threatening calls, eager to Then he tore a piece of flesh from the basilisk's body.

Due to David's order, the basilisk could not leave the perimeter of the hole, and it could only turn its head and fight back when the tree monkey frog came up to attack it.

But after a long time, the tree monkey frogs have figured out the tricks of the basilisk, and they are divided into several groups. When the basilisk turns its head to attack, that group will quickly withdraw, and the tree monkey frogs in the opposite direction will attack.

In addition, the eyes of the basilisk's main attack method were covered by David, so it could only weakly guard the entrance of the cave, shaking its head indiscriminately, trying to bite a tree monkey frog that couldn't dodge because it was greedy for its flesh and blood. to vent its anger.

Looking at everything in front of him, the anger left in David's heart burned fiercely.

"come over."

A hiss came from David's mouth.

The basilisk shook violently, threw away the tree monkey frogs on its body, and broke through their defenses.

After crawling in front of David, the basilisk lightly touched David's body with its head.

A ball of milky white light emerged from the end of David's wand, continuously pouring into the basilisk's body, and soon the gnawed wounds on its body began to heal, and the hard scales began to grow back.

The tree monkey frogs stared restlessly for a while with their scarlet eyes, as if they felt that David was not threatening, and they eagerly surrounded him again.

David climbed onto the corner of the basilisk's mouth and looked around, with a kind smile on the corner of his mouth.

"You guys are really bullying people."

Muttering softly, David closed his eyes and at the same time moved his wand, and the invisible beast appeared in front of the basilisk.

It stood on tiptoe vigorously, removed the hood that blocked the basilisk's eyes, and threw it to David.

"Kill them."

David lightly patted the basilisk's scales.

The basilisk's mood suddenly rose, and its head was slightly raised to a height where David would not fall. The letter kept expanding and contracting, collecting the surrounding situation.

The tree monkey frogs still didn't notice the danger, they thought the basilisk was still the same as before, or their brains were clouded by the desire for flesh and blood.

They also attacked the basilisk in batches as before.

When more than a dozen tree monkey frogs jumped into the air, the basilisk shook its head deftly, and its yellow eyes met theirs.

The tree monkey frogs in the air immediately felt a painful burning sensation, and painful groans came from their mouths.

The tree monkey frogs waiting around were immediately at a loss, but they understood that the situation on the field seemed to have changed after that person appeared.

After a while, the tree monkey frogs who looked at the basilisk went limp, lost all their vitality, and fell to the ground one after another.

The basilisk moved forward suddenly, and with its long mouth, it held the tree monkey frog several times in its mouth, and swallowed it down.

After trying his best to stabilize his figure, David touched the basilisk's head.

"Hey, it's enough to kill them, don't eat them, dirty."

The basilisk nodded obediently, shaking its head, and regurgitated the tree monkey frogs it had just eaten.

Seeing this scene, the surrounding tree monkey frogs were silent for a moment, and the pustules on their foreheads became the same color as their eyes.

"Speed ​​up, they're going to run away."

The basilisk moved its body and crawled over with its head straight.

But those tree monkey frogs were frightened one after another, desperately swinging back and forth between the branches, and fled in all directions in the blink of an eye.

The basilisk's tail slammed on the ground angrily. It wanted to chase after it, but was stopped by David.

Because the fleeing direction of the tree monkey frog is too scattered, even if you catch up, you can't kill a few of them, and it is easy to accidentally injure other animals in the forest.

After putting the blindfold on the basilisk, David let it crawl back to the cave entrance.

How to get rid of these guys?
David mused as he waved his wand and gathered the dead tree monkey frogs together and threw them into the cave.

The tree monkey frogs are not like the acromantia, they have the natural enemy of the basilisk to suppress them.

And there are so many of them, even after their eyes turned red, they dared to attack the basilisk.

If they were given a little more time, they would dare to storm Hogwarts Castle.

No, gotta get rid of them quickly
David made up his mind immediately.

But how to do it?

You can't ask the professors to hang out with me in the forest and kill them one by one, right?
While David was thinking, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes on the right side. It should be that the horsemen heard the movement and came to check.

But when they saw the figure of the basilisk, they stopped far away.

The huge body of the basilisk is still very deterrent.

"Bane, come here, it's okay!"

David jumped over the basilisk and waved to a rough and strong man at the front of the centaur line.

Bain squinted his eyes and took a closer look. After weighing it, he walked over alone.

As he got closer, David saw several small wounds on his body.

The acromantula had been blocked in the cave by David, obviously they couldn't do it.

David waved his wand, and Bane's wounds healed quickly.

"Thank you."

Bain shook his arm that was still bleeding just now in surprise.

"What's going on?" David asked.

"Those tree monkey frogs did it. They're also crazy, and they're even harder to deal with than acromantia. They're too small, and it's hard to hit them with bows and arrows."

Bane sighed, his face was a little tired after many days of fighting.

"I will try my best to find a way to solve them." David said sincerely.

Bane nodded. He knew that the basilisk blocking the entrance of the acromantula hole was also found by the pony in front of him, which made him trust David a little more.

"Have you found out why they are mad?" Bane asked.

"not yet."

Although Snape has worked hard enough, this thing can't be achieved only by hard work.

"Okay then." Bane rubbed his shoulders, "Okay, we have to go, before you figure out a way, other animals really need our protection."

After Bain finished speaking, he turned around and kicked his feet, and soon disappeared from David's sight with his companions.

How to solve them?

David leaned against the basilisk's neck, closed his eyes and thought carefully.

Let the senior students come together?

Just treat it as an actual combat drama?
But David felt that Professor McGonagall would definitely not agree, and she would not let students take risks unless it was absolutely necessary.

The green snake suddenly crawled from David's pocket to his shoulder, raised his head high, and rubbed against his face.

David thought of the giant snakes carved on the walls of the Chamber of Secrets.

"Can those giant snakes in the Chamber of Secrets come out?"

David said to the green snake on his shoulder.

The little head of the green snake nodded.

That's easy.
Compared with the number, the giant snakes in the secret room will not lose, and they are not afraid of getting hurt.

Making up his mind, David walked quickly back to the castle, just in time to bump into Hermione coming out of the library.

"where did you go?"

Hermione asked, blinking. She hadn't seen David coming for a long time, so she ran out to find him.

"Another animal has mutated in the forest." David panted, "I'm going to the secret room now, do you want to go together?"

"Huh? Can I go?"

"Of course!"

Davy grabbed Hermione's wrist and ran to the bathroom quickly.

After all, the horse people are still waiting for his help!
"David, here you go again, oh, and Hermione!"

Myrtle flew happily from her compartment.

"I'm very sorry, but I still can't chat with you today."

David said in a hurry, skillfully found the faucet, and opened the pipe leading to the secret room in Parseltongue.

Hermione looked inside curiously.

David took a step forward, stood by the side of the pipe and said to Hermione, "I'll go in first, you will come down later."

Sliding down and standing on the wet ground, David stared intently at the exit of the pipe.

As soon as Hermione appeared, David used the Levitation Charm to make her fly up and land safely on the ground.

"Go this way."

David raced against time and ran towards the gate.

Hermione and David were both gasping for breath as they passed through the gate.

"Are you a snaketalker too?"

After taking a breath, Hermione asked curiously.

"Well." David nodded, "You can learn what you learned earlier, it's very simple."

David didn't lie, it was indeed very simple, he learned it almost in the blink of an eye, although he relied on the illustrated book.

Hermione believed David's words and nodded confidently.

How to go up now?
David raised his head and looked at the towering statue, with a somewhat embarrassed face.

It was escorted by a basilisk the last time I went, but now it's in the forest.

After thinking for a moment, David said, "Speak to me, Slytherin—the greatest of the Big Four at Hogwarts."

After a little over ten seconds, Salazar's big mouth opened.

After another half minute, there was no movement inside.

Do you really want me to climb up?
David stared blankly at Salazar's black mouth with his head tilted.
