Chapter 264 Level 5 Magical Creature
The two teams separated at this point, because the trees on the island have always been in the state of virgin forest, each of which is a towering tree, with an average height of more than 100 meters, and further up is the fog that shrouds the entire island.
Newt's team did not choose to fly. Although it was faster, if they flew above the canopy, they would not be able to see the ground. Under the canopy, they would be hindered by countless branches.
"Mr. Scamander, how should we find it? After all, this island is so big, do we really need a blanket search?" Sean asked.
Newt asked, "Have you all heard fairy tales?"
"Fairy tale?" Sean was puzzled, and when he was wondering what Newt wanted to express, Newt said.
"The rare and exotic fruits in fairy tales are guarded by ferocious monsters. Warriors must defeat the beasts to obtain the treasure."
Sean froze for a moment before realizing what Newt meant by the fairy tale.
"Are we going to find the beast?"
Hof on the side also echoed, "It does make sense. Most magical creatures choose to live near rare vegetation, and Egyptian wizards like to raise a Sphinx to protect their treasures."
Newt smiled slightly, "I have limited research on plants, but I still have a lot of knowledge on magical animals."
Xiao En thought to himself, "The old man is too humble. Authoritative experts in the industry, if you say that you are ranked second, no one dares to say that you are number one."
"We're just looking for signs of magical beasts, find them first, and then look around," Newt said.
Newt is very experienced in searching for animal traces, and any clues can't escape his eyes.
Sean followed Newt and thought to himself, "This island is very weird. I encountered level 4 magical creatures as soon as I came up. Now I take the initiative to find magical creatures. I don't know if such a hard steel can withstand it."
On Dumbledore's side, it was just the opposite. He chose a carpet search, but due to the advantage of flying, they saved a lot of time.
Three Animagus, two can fly, one is a small animal, Dumbledore's falcon takes Constantine's squirrel, and Snape's bat follows behind.
For the sake of safety, the three did not act separately after transforming, and they were still looking for snakehead fruit together.
"Watch your feet," Newt said, pointing to the trampled marks in the grass.
The three of them followed the traces carefully, and found a few huge footprints in a woodland with sparse grass and slightly soft soil.
The shape of the footprints is like some kind of feline, but the size is more than 20 centimeters, which must be a big beast.
"Be careful, we've entered the range of some kind of large carnivore," Newt reminded.
Sean thought to himself, "With such a large footprint, it must be at least three or four meters in size."
In the direction of the footprints, the three of them walked for another ten minutes and stopped under a huge eucalyptus tree.
On the fallen leaves and weeds, blood was sprayed unevenly, which was obviously the hunting scene of carnivores.
"It's still fresh." Based on experience, Newt came to a conclusion just by looking at it.
At this time, the Bowtruckle appeared on Newt's shoulder again, and Sean discovered that the Bowtruckle was hidden in Newt's hair.
The Bowtruckle communicated in a way that only it and Newt could understand, delivering warnings of danger.
"Mr. Scamander, Sean, follow me." Hough stood in front of the two.
Due to the power of the Sorcerer's Stone in his body, Hof also has a strong self-healing ability. Although he is not as perverted as a divine guard, his ability to withstand attacks must be much stronger than ordinary wizards.
Hof was in front, and before walking a few meters, he heard a strange rustling sound coming from the front left.
It was only past nine o'clock in the morning, and the outside world was bright and sunny, but Alcatraz was shrouded in mist, so that the warm and bright sunlight was filtered into a dark and cold attribute.
"Is it that beast?" Sean whispered.
The three of them didn't dare to act rashly, they stood there holding their breath and stared at the place where the sound came from,
But the light is dim, which greatly affects the sight.
"Shua Shua"
The sound of branches and leaves turning came out again, this time the movement was louder, as if something was about to emerge from the dense branches and leaves.
"Grass." Suddenly Sean cursed secretly in his heart, he was taken aback by what suddenly appeared.
It was a human face with a fierce look and disheveled hair. It looked like it was of Middle Eastern descent, and it was about 1.8 meters tall.
In this kind of place, anyone would be startled by a person appearing furtively.
Hof standing in front asked vigilantly, "Who are you?"
The man didn't answer, and the next second his whole head was in a free fall. He didn't show his body because he only had one head left.
"Shit." Hof raised his wand and looked around in panic.
Then there was another "swish" sound, and another face emerged from the branches and leaves, but unlike the previous dead head with a dead face, this one could move.
His mouth moved slightly, humming softly like a beautiful melody.
"It's so creepy." Looking at this weird scene, Sean's goosebumps arose.
Newt said softly, "Which of you has learned swordsmanship? If not, just back away slowly with me."
"Never mind that?" Sean asked.
"That's the manticore, an extremely dangerous animal with the head of a man, the body of a lion, and the tail of a scorpion. The manticore is as dangerous and rare as the chimera. Famous for the soft humming it makes as it devours its prey. The manticore's hide repels nearly all known spells. Anyone stung by it kills instantly," Newt explained.
When Xiao En heard this, he felt nauseated. It turned out that the one who moved its mouth slightly and made a humming sound just now was a manticore manticore chewing human flesh.
This Manticore is registered as Dangerous Level 5 by the Ministry of Magic, which is as terrifying as the basilisk.
Although the basilisk was dead, it was Sean who transformed into a dragon and suppressed the basilisk from the species level.
A level 4 rune snake is immune to a lot of low-level magic, and a manticore is almost immune to all known spells. This may not be alarmist talk from the Ministry of Magic.
"No wonder Newt asked if he knew swordsmanship." Sean was quite insightful about this point, because he knew a lot of secrets about ancient wizards.
When magic cannot cause damage to magical creatures, it can only rely on physical attacks.
The wizards in ancient times did not use magic wands. They tempered their bodies and cooperated with magic. They were all combat wizards. Ogadis continued the fighting style of ancient wizards.
"Didn't it mean that manticores are very rare?" Sean muttered.
"This island has always maintained its original ecology, and it is not surprising that there are rare animals in the outside world." Newt said.
Accompanied by the sound of swaying branches, the manticore slowly revealed its full appearance. It was nearly four meters in size, with thick limbs and claws as big as a dinner plate. A slap would cut a person in half.
"Mr. Scamander, do you think the snake head fruit will be guarded by it?" Sean asked.
"Let's talk about this issue later, let's think about how not to be eaten by it." Newt replied solemnly.
The human-headed sphinx-body scorpion tail took shocking steps, swinging the extremely poisonous scorpion tail, and completely regarded the three of them as prey in his eyes.
Newt carefully opened the lock of the suitcase, patted the suitcase lightly and said.
"Zouwu, old man."
