Chapter 908: Forbidden Air Array [Updated for Book Friend 20210121193712899]
Suddenly attacked, the thunderbird reacted quickly and dodged quickly. Then it let out a burst of angry chirps. Its pure golden wings vibrated vigorously, and several thick bolts of lightning blasted past.
However, this inevitable blow failed to have any effect, and was easily disintegrated by the invisible barrier rising in mid-air.
Thunderbird's red-gold pupils stared at the five wizards below. He felt a great threat from the leader. Almost instantly, Thunderbird made a decision, abandoned the newly captured lamb, turned around and fled.
It's a pity that the attacker was obviously well prepared, and the air-defense circle that had been arranged in advance was instantly activated. The Thunderbird suddenly seemed to have been hit hard, and its body became extremely sluggish, and finally staggered and fell down.
Ivan was anxious watching this scene, but as a flying creature, he was also inevitably affected by the forbidden air circle. In the end, he was forced to fall on Rolf's back, letting this bird The leopard ran with him.
"Damn, how could those poachers move so fast?!" Rolf cursed angrily, and his running speed increased again, trying to get there before those people succeeded.
I'm afraid they're not poachers... Ivan thought silently in his heart. He just flew high in the sky and saw the appearance of those people. The wizard leading them felt inexplicably familiar to him.
Rolf didn't know this information and ran quickly towards the place where the Thunderbird crashed.
However, when he arrived, Rolf discovered that the battle had ended long ago. The ground was covered with bright red blood and a dozen golden feathers.
"Damn it, we were one step too late!" Rolf returned to his human form, picked up a feather on the ground, and hammered the sand on the ground angrily.
Ivan on the side was not surprised at all. Even a person as powerful as Thunderbird couldn't hold on for long in front of that person, not to mention that the other person had made sufficient preparations this time.
"Did you see those poachers in the sky just now? How many were there?" Rolf asked through gritted teeth.
"There are five people in total!" Ivan said concisely and clearly.
Then there is still a fight! Rolf secretly calculated it. Although the opponent's number was much greater than theirs, he and Ivan were not exposed and were still in the dark. If one or two people could be killed in a sneak attack, then the two sides could definitely fight!
Ivan saw Rolf's plan at a glance and immediately poured cold water on him. "I see Grindelwald among them!"
Just by those eyes with heterochromatic pupils... Ivan could still tell the difference even if the other person suddenly looked decades younger.
"What did you say?!" Rolf was stunned, then took a breath and stammered. "Green... Devo? Are you sure you're not mistaken? Why did he suddenly come to France?"
"In fact, I received relevant intelligence before coming here. Grindelwald has been operating in France recently... but no one knows what he wants to do." Ivan explained.
"This is going to be difficult!" Rolf's brows suddenly frowned after hearing Ivan's words.
He had naturally read the news about Grindelwald's escape from Nurmengard Prison in the European Times, but Rolf never imagined that one day he would bump into such a legendary dark wizard.
He had listened to his grandfather recount the catastrophe more than fifty years ago many times, so he knew very well what the name Grindelwald represented... This was by no means a wizard they could compete with!
Thinking of this, Rolf planned to persuade Ivan to give up this mission and follow him alone to see if he could get some important information.
Now this place was more dangerous than he imagined. Once there was a battle, Rolf estimated that he would not be able to take Ivan's safety into consideration at all.
However, when he turned his head and was about to give words of persuasion, Ivan's voice came over first.
"Mr. Scamander, you'd better go back and notify people from the Ministry of Magic immediately. I'm afraid the next battle will be very dangerous. I'm not completely sure that I can protect your safety..." Ivan's expression was very serious. No joke at all.
kindness? ah? Rolf looked at Ivan in confusion, this... shouldn't this be what I said?
Rolf was so shocked by Ivan's sudden saucy words that he couldn't react for a long time.
After Ivan reminded him, he ignored Rolf and took out a blank reagent bottle from the pocket of the wizard's robe, waving his wand to collect all the blood scattered on the ground.
"That's almost enough, right?" Ivan shook the bottle and murmured to himself. In this way, the materials needed to fuse the blood have been gathered, and his main goal of coming to France has been perfectly achieved. .
If he were to be more cautious, he should stop now, find a place where no one would disturb him and perform the sixth blood fusion ceremony, spend ten days and a half to get familiar with his newly acquired power, and then consider asking Grindelwald for help. Decide the outcome.
But Ivan is really curious about Grindelwald's purpose of lurking in France and making great efforts to capture this thunderbird. It must be very important to make the other party put down the things at hand and do it in person!
Realizing this, Ivan immediately decided to follow up and take a look!
Anyway, now is no different than before. There is no need to rely on bragging about one's own strength to stabilize the rule. If you really can't defeat it, the worst thing you can do is run away.
After making up his mind, Ivan stopped delaying and transformed from an owl into a vigorous cheetah. He sniffed the scent of the thunderbird's blood and ran after him.
Rolf witnessed Ivan transforming from an owl into a cheetah with his own eyes. He was dumbfounded. Could it be that Animagus could have two forms?
But now is obviously not the time to think about this. Looking at Ivan's leaving figure, Rolf hesitated, and finally gritted his teeth and turned into a leopard and followed.
Even a minor wizard like Ivan can put aside life and death, so what else does he have to fear?
Xiu Xiu, who was resting on Rolf's head, was using his small little brain to seriously consider whether to jump out of the car halfway. The terrifying power of the Thunderbird left a deep impression on it, but it was so powerful. The magical animal was easily subdued by the enemy, and its hidden biological instinct gave it the urge to run away immediately.
But such thoughts were quickly dispelled by another instinct, because it smelled an irresistible smell ahead, which was the smell of a large number of precious treasures...
