Chapter 269: Divine Sword Palm
Xellin turned a corner again.
What came into view was a large area of misty fog. It was the kind that you couldn't see even if you stretched out your hand and put it in front of you.
Xellin didn't dare to be careless at all.
His sense told him that the magic voles were annihilated here.
Although the magic voles were not good at fighting, they were small in size, fast, and had sharp intuition and sense of smell. It was not easy to pack up and clean up 25 magic voles in one go.
The leopard that could spray poison gas in its breath and the basilisk that could kill with eye contact might be able to do it, but this maze was designed for the strength of 7th grade students. The Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts professors who were responsible for the design project would not put such a dangerous monster in.
This fog seemed to be full of magical power. Even with the magic eye and the secret of the divine glimpse of Amaterasu, Xie Lin could not see through the reality of the fog.
But Schelling had experience with fog before. He first cast a bird transformation spell. His level of transformation was far beyond what it was a year ago. He transformed into twelve golden eagles in one breath. As he pointed his wand forward, the eagles rolled up strong airflows and rushed into the fog.
The fog dissipated, and the scene in front gradually became clear. Schelling's pupils flashed a look of surprise. In front of him stood a towering giant tree, which slowly revealed itself from branches to trunks as the fog dissipated.
The shape of this tree is a bit similar to a palm tree, but it is not exactly the same. Even Schelling, who is well-read and knowledgeable, has never heard of this plant. He can be sure that this is definitely not a common magical plant in Europe, and it is even less likely to be in the teaching content of Herbology at Hogwarts.
Unlike the sturdy and short palm tree, the trunk of this tree is straight and tall, and the whole body is covered with silver leaves. The leaves are like swords, making a trembling sound.
Xie Lin suddenly felt the air around him turn cold, and a shocking killing intent surged from the direction of the silver tree.
"Killing intent" is an invisible breath that usually only appears on black wizards, and only black wizards with blood on their hands and excessive killing can condense killing intent on their bodies.
To put it bluntly, it is because a large amount of killing will distort the wizard's soul. Although the power of magic comes from blood, it grows under the influence of soul and spirit. A distorted soul is enough to make the essence of magic become violent, that is, it is stained with "killing intent".
What is going on with a strong killing intent on a magical plant?
At this time, a sharp whistling sound came into the ears, and countless sword leaves shot out through the air at a speed so fast that it seemed like streams of light. The white eagles did not even make a cry, and exploded in the air into a mass of blood mist, which filled the area around the sword-leaf palm tree, looking like a special bloody beauty.
The sword leaves flew away, revealing countless holes on the trunk, just like the mouth and nose of an animal opening and closing. When the white eagles were slaughtered, the tree shook, and the sword leaves flew back one after another, with the petioles facing down, inserted into the holes.
So the 25 magic voles were annihilated in this way.
Magic voles rely on smell rather than vision to identify directions, so the fog has no effect on the voles, but there are at least hundreds of leaves on this sword palm tree, if not a thousand, and a mere 25 voles are not enough to rush over.
Xie Lin did not receive any attack, which means that the perception of this tree is limited in range. According to the position where the white eagle was attacked just now, as long as it is not within three feet of the sword palm tree, it will not trigger the attack of the sword leaves.
Having said that, with such a tree blocking the way, unless you are willing to give up moving forward and take a detour, you must go through the test of the sword leaf attack.
This level is not easy for a 7th grade wizard. If they use the Armored Spell to resist and rush forward, it is impossible to be unscathed under the dense sword leaf attack. Even if they use multiple Armored Spells to protect their vital parts, it is enough to cause serious injuries to the young wizards, and even lose the ability to continue the game.
Of course, Xie Lin is not an ordinary fourth-grade wizard.
Space magic is definitely not possible, he does not have the ability to divert such dense attacks.
"Guardian of the Gods" can indeed withstand all attacks, but when casting the Guardian of the Gods, he cannot move. His original intention of creating this magic was to use it to protect himself and the people around him in a large area, and win the opportunity to cast a spell to counterattack, just like he did against the Swedish short-nosed dragon in the first competition.
Xie Lin once heard Zhang He mention that in the Chinese elemental magic theory, Eastern wizards believe in the "Five Elements" instead of the "Four Elements". Among the Five Elements, "Wood" produces "Fire", so it is very easy to burn.
In other words, the fastest way to pass this level is to use fire to destroy the tree.
Ordinary fire spells, just think about it, it is impossible to do it. Even if Schelling used the Blue Flame Potion to raise the flame to the temperature of a blue flame, it might not be able to destroy this magical tree.
Then, the only ones left to consider were the Magic Flame and the Fiendfyre.
Both of these are fire magics with amazing destructive power, and there is actually a great connection between the two magics.
In the previous life of the Fantastic Beasts movie, after Grindelwald cast the Magic Flame to protect himself and took away his followers, he uttered "I hate Paris" and released the control of the Magic Flame. After the Magic Flame lost the control of the caster, it spontaneously transformed into the Fiendfyre and almost burned the whole of Paris.
It can be seen that Mo Yan is actually a version of Li Huo that has been suppressed, weakened and controlled. Grindelwald used his family's natural talent for "inspiring people" and combined it with Legilimency to create the magic of "Demon Flame Protection".
Compared with Mo Yan, Li Huo's destructive power is more powerful, but it is also more difficult to control. Even Dumbledore and Grindelwald do not dare to cast the Fire Curse lightly, or allow the Fire to grow out of control as it continues to burn. They must firmly control the Fire at all times. force.
The last time Xie Lin cast the Fierce Fire Spell was during a group battle against the Eight-Eyed Spiders. At that time, he did not try to control the Fierce Fire. Anyway, his purpose was to let the out-of-control Fierce Fire rage freely and burn as many Eight-Eyed Spiders to death as possible. how many. Now he was in a highly anticipated competition. If he chose to cast the Fire Spell, he was not sure whether he would accidentally cause an earth-shattering move.
After much thought, the most suitable flame magic to be cast at this moment is none other than Mo Yan.
"Magic flame protects the body!" After reciting the spell, Xie Lin was like an ensemble conductor, waving the magic wand in his hand gracefully, and a blue flame surrounded him, rising and falling like a long fire snake. With.
As Schelling continued to dance, the fire snake targeted the sword-leaf palm tree and launched attack after attack.
The trunk of the palm tree is "wood" in the five elements and is extremely easy to burn, but this cannot be applied to those silver sword leaves. Those sword leaves are not afraid of fire at all. As long as the fire snake enters the sensing range, it will launch a fierce offensive, stinging the fire snake with holes and sparks flying.
After Xie Lin controlled Mo Yan for more than ten attacks, he gradually became familiar with Jianye's attack mode, and the flame offensive he organized became more and more smooth and skillful.
Suddenly, he felt a faint movement in his blood.
A warm current followed the flow of blood in the blood vessels and flowed into the limbs and bones.
Feeling this extremely familiar feeling, Xie Lin smiled——
[The secret of Rocher family bloodline - "Elemental Affinity" awakens! 】
At this moment, the blue fire snake burning around Xie Lin stood upright, and two egg-sized white flames appeared on the snake's head, as if this unintelligent fire snake suddenly possessed spiritual intelligence. Schelling only needs a thought, and the fire snake will perform any action that Schelling has in mind, as if these flames are no longer just tools for Schelling to enslave, but are comrades who are connected and bonded with him.
Xie Lin's mind turned, and the upper body of the fire snake suddenly split into two, two into four, four into eight, and finally split again, becoming the form of the nine-headed fire snake.
The Hydra attacked flexibly, but no matter how intensive the sword-leaf palm tree's attack was and how fast the attack speed was, it could not completely defeat all the fire. Finally, one of the fire snakes saw an opportunity, opened its bloody mouth fiercely, and bit the trunk of the sword-leaf palm tree. With a bang, the sword-leaf palm tree began to burn from the middle of the tree, slowly spreading upwards, and eventually burned the entire tree to ashes.
The sword leaves lost their holes in the trunk, and they were like homeless wanderers who had lost their homes. They first let out a sharp cry, and then they were inserted into the earth with a sizzling sound, and withered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
