Chapter 267 Black Devil Blood Transformation
Entering the maze, the roaring cheers outside were blocked and could no longer reach the ears of the warriors. This should be the effect of magic.
The twenty-foot-high hedge cast a dark shadow on the path. I don't know whether it was because the hedge was tall and dense, or because it was also enchanted. The surrounding vision fell into abnormal darkness, and coupled with the abnormal silence, the entire The atmosphere was eerie and eerie. But Schelling, surrounded by four balls of light, has at least fifteen feet of visibility, which is a great advantage whether it is detecting enemies far ahead or preventing sneak attacks in the darkness of the corner.
Xie Lin walked slowly along the path casually, and then he discovered that four forked roads suddenly appeared in front of him.
He waved his wand in an extremely complex gesture that included twelve variations, and then whispered: "A hundred rats are running amok."
Although the transfiguration spell is a NEWT-level transformation spell, most casters use transfiguration spells to fight, because once the transformed object leaves the caster to a certain distance, it is likely to lose contact with the caster.
This kind of transformation spell, which can give the transformed object a simple sense of autonomy to conduct remote exploration, is actually beyond the level taught at Hogwarts. In the current world, apart from Xie Lin, perhaps there are only a few characters who are rated as masters of transformation by "Transfiguration Today", such as Dumbledore, McGonagall, Zhang He...
One hundred tiny voles were transformed and ran evenly into the four forked roads. These transformed magical voles have an amazing sense of smell and can find the Goblet of Fire as quickly as possible. Even if they encounter traps and monsters on the road, they know how to understand it. Sacrifice part of the quantity to force the crossing.
At this time, Bagman's whistle came from behind Schelling one after another. It seemed that the whistle was no ordinary whistle. Its whistle could penetrate the sound insulation of the maze, making Schelling understand that all the warriors at this time Has entered the maze.
Xie Lin suddenly had a feeling that the magic vole had discovered something, and he chose the path on the far left. Just after he stepped into the path, the hedge at the entrance of the path suddenly slid and gradually closed the entire entrance, as if the entrance had never existed.
Harry originally entered the maze with Eleanor.
After walking about fifty meters, they came to a fork in the road and the two looked at each other. "Goodbye," Harry said, and took the path on the left, while Eleanor took the one on the right.
There seemed to be nothing on the road Harry had chosen. He turned to the right and hurried forward, holding his wand high in one hand, trying to see as far away as possible, but still couldn't see anything.
Harry kept looking behind him. He seemed to feel that someone was watching him secretly. The maze was getting darker every minute, and the sky above turned dark blue. He came to the second fork in the road.
"Show me the way," he whispered to his wand, holding it flat in the palm of his hand. The wand twirled, targeting the dense hedge to his right. That was north, and he knew that to get to the center of the maze, he had to go northwest. Your best bet is to take the left path and then turn right as quickly as possible.
The road ahead was still empty. When they reached a right turn, Harry turned in. There was still no obstacle. Harry didn't know why this was happening, and being so unimpeded made him panic. You should have encountered something now. The maze seemed to seduce him with the illusion of safety.
"Whoosh, bang!" Two brilliant sparks shot out from the field one after another, and the directions seemed to be southwest and southeast respectively.
"What!" Harry was shocked. "Two contestants have quit! It's only been fifteen minutes at most!" Harry's heart suddenly sank. The danger of this maze was much greater than he expected. He could survive it. Until now, it was purely due to his luck that he had not encountered any test at all.
"Who will quit?" Harry thought secretly. Although Schelling and he were both fourth-year students, he didn't know why he didn't subconsciously think that Schelling would be one of the eliminated ones. "It should be Demster." Lang and those two female students from Beauxbatons..." Harry secretly guessed.
Xie Lin looked at the two sparks of distress in the sky with a thoughtful expression. He knew the strength of Eleanor and Katalin. Even if there was a fire dragon sitting in the maze, they would not be eliminated so quickly. In this way——
"Did Barty Jr. take action?" Xie Lin thought silently, "Or was it not just Barty Jr. who interfered with the maze?"
Suddenly Xie Lin's eyes narrowed and he raised the wand in his hand. A whistling wind suddenly blew from behind, as if something was approaching quickly.
It's a snail!
The Blast-Ended Skrewt at this time was already very different from the one seen in Hagrid's class.
Schelling remembers the last time he saw a snail, in December before Christmas, when it was six feet long. Their thick gray protective shells are enough to withstand almost all spells cast by young wizards.
After that, Hagrid's half-giant ancestry was exposed by Rita Skeeter in the newspaper, causing an uproar. As a result, the controversial Hagrid resigned for a period of time, and the Care of Magical Creatures class he was responsible for was handed over to Professor Guerra-Plan came to take over the class, and when Hagrid came back to resume his duties, he never took out the Blast-Ended Skrewt in class again.
It is now the end of June. After six months of brutal cannibalism and weeding out the weak and the strong, there is only one Blast-Ended Skrewt left, the one in front of Xie Lin.
This blasting skrewt was at least ten feet long. Strange dark golden lines began to appear on its gray protective shell, as well as shocking barbs that shone with sharp edges. The most amazing thing was that Schelling clearly remembered that the blasting skrewt had no head. One side of it was a scorpion tail, and the other side was different depending on the gender - the male had a stinger, and the female had a sucker.
But this blasting skrewt -
Schelling couldn't tell whether it was male or female.
It had grown a long tube, which was covered with a large number of suckers. At the end of the tube were six terrifying white fangs, which opened and closed, as if waiting for prey hungrily.
Schelling frowned. This blasting skrewt was not right. Even if it was the last one left because of cannibalism, it shouldn't have both male and female characteristics. It was obviously artificially modified!
Schelling knew that the protective shell of the blasting skrewt made it immune to most magic, and the shell of this blasting skrewt was obviously even more unusual. When it appeared from afar, Xie Lin had already tried an explosive spell, and it actually rushed over unscathed. Xie Lin knew the destructive power of the explosive spell he cast, and he calculated that even if he cast the most powerful killing spell, he might not be able to penetrate the defense of the blasting tail skrewt in one blow.
It is better to rely on physical means to defeat it. After all, the killing spell consumes a lot of magic power, and he has to retain magic power.
He moved his right hand lightly, and the long-lost pure silver dagger slipped into his hand. He rushed forward a few steps, and the soles of his feet suddenly blew up, and the whole person flew off the ground.
The long tube of the blasting tail skrewt was like a tentacle that could be freely extended and retracted, and it flexibly attacked Xie Lin's position in the air. Xie Lin injected a lot of magic power into the pure silver dagger, and the indestructible spell on the dagger was activated, and the silver-white light like lightning jumped on the blade.
Xie Lin hissed in snake language, and a long green snake-head arrow appeared, flying towards the pipe with a whistling sound.
Although the blasting tail sluyte had amazing defense, it didn't seem to have much wisdom. It relied on its strong defense to ignore the snake-headed arrow and continued to attack Xie Lin. As a result, it was hit hard on the pipe by the snake arrow. Although the long arrow couldn't penetrate the shell, the impact force on it successfully knocked the pipe aside.
"Grow longer!" The pure silver dagger was transformed into a two-handed giant sword with Xie Lin's mind, and it chopped down fiercely, "Let's see whether your shell is hard or my sword is sharper!"
With a hissing sound, the silver sword pierced through the shell on the pipe and cut off the entire long pipe of the blasting tail sluyte. The long pipe flew away while spinning, and the broken part of the blasting tail sluyte kept flowing out of the disgusting orange-yellow liquid.
Although the strike was successful, Xie Ling was not feeling well. The recoil force from the long sword made his palm and arm hurt. Fortunately, he knew the art of flying without weapons, so he could fly backwards to remove the recoil force.
The shells of the blasting skrewt were vibrating strongly, and the friction between the shells made a harsh squeak.
Suddenly, a scorching air wave sprayed out from the tail of the blasting skrewt, making a crackling sound, and sprayed towards Xie Ling who had just landed.
Xie Ling pulled his right hand holding the sword back, arched his body, and then shouted "Wadiwasi", swung it hard, and shot the silver sword accurately into the back hole of the blasting skrewt like a javelin.
It should not be difficult for readers to imagine what would happen if a vent that was spitting fire was blocked.
The blasting skrewt exploded (not fried), and the entire tail was blown open from the inside, and for a moment, minced meat flew everywhere and disgusting orange-yellow liquid splashed everywhere.
Xie Lin's Supreme Wizard robe has the function of not getting liquids and stains, so the splashing liquid did not affect him.
He walked forward slowly, picked up the pure silver dagger that had turned back into a dagger, and then solemnly examined the patterns on the shell of the blasting skrewt. He gently tapped the shell with his wand, and a black flame suddenly burned up, burning the entire body of the blasting skrewt cleanly, without even leaving ash.
Xie Lin was sure that this was black magic.
And it was a very unpopular and rare kind -
Dark Magic Blood Transformation.
In the ancient war era, wizards used this black magic to transform magical creatures and turn them into weapons for war. The creatures transformed by this black magic will become more aggressive and have an amazing resistance to magic. Even the killing curse cannot kill them in one blow.
The only limitation is that this black magic can only be used on magical creatures, and they must be magical creatures with extremely strong skin and flesh. The body of a human wizard cannot withstand the transformation of this black magic.
Xie Ling smiled faintly. It seemed that this game was starting to become interesting!
