Chapter 278 Snake
There are two shops in the entire St. Mungo's Hospital, one in the inpatient department and the other in the waiting area. Judging from the distance, the children should go to the one in the inpatient department.
Xing Ze asked Arthur to look for it in the waiting area. Since most of the people rushed to the lobby, there would probably be many guards there to ensure safety, at least much safer than the inpatient department.
"Arthur Weasley." The eldest lady said, "I remember he is not bad. Why not let him move with us?"
"It will be safer to go to the front hall. You also saw the two guards." Xing Ze leaned over, "The so-called lizard man has speed and strength far beyond ordinary people. Once he is close, it will be very dangerous."
"Don't forget, they also have a certain resistance to magic." Ellie also came over,
"Do you have a handkerchief?"
The eldest lady took out a delicate handkerchief from her pocket and handed it over. Xing Ze took it and wiped it on the ground, then picked it up and looked at it.
There was some transparent sticky liquid in the handkerchief, just like glue, and people could notice the smell of snake tongue grass poison without smelling it carefully.
"It looks like egg white." The eldest lady frowned.
Xing Ze stood up and pointed at the transparent mucus on the ground and said, "It was left by the lizard man. Look at the direction. It has also gone to the inpatient department."
"This is not good news." Ellie waved her hand and looked at the handkerchief with disgust. "I'll give it to you."
The hospital's canteen was empty. Several shelves fell to the ground and the goods were scattered all over the floor. From the door that was knocked open, it was obvious that the snake man had been here.
"I can smell that disgusting smell. That thing must have been here." Ellie looked around and said, "Be vigilant."
The canteen was not big. Ellie quickly checked all the places. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "At least those children have not been here."
"I'm afraid you are wrong." Xing Ze took out a pair of glasses from under a shelf. "They have been here."
At this moment, a sharp shout came, and the eldest lady rushed out first, followed by Xing Ze.
"This way." Xing Ze confirmed the direction and walked away quickly.
The scream came from an empty ward. When the two arrived, they did not find the lizard man, but found the source of the scream - Hermione.
Four children and several patients hid behind a bed, and Harry was looking up at the ceiling and saying something. His words and tone were strange, and Xing Ze had never heard it before.
However, the eldest lady recognized the strange language. She whispered: "Parseltongue?"
The children saw Xing Ze, and Fred was still relatively calm. He quietly pointed his finger at the ceiling. Xing Ze glanced up slightly and saw the monster. The white body was covered with scales, and the scarlet snake tongue went in and out.
It seemed to be attracted by Harry and focused all its attention on the boy. It didn't even notice Xing Ze and Ellie coming in.
Xing Ze pointed his wand at the monster, and Ellie did the same. No large-scale magic could be used in the ward, so the two chose a powerful directional spell.
The magic spear came from Xing Ze, and the binding lasso came from Ellie, but only the lasso hit the target of the two spells, and the spear was dodged.
Compared to the lizard man he met before, this white one seemed stronger and more agile, which could be seen from the two guards who had just died.
The wizard whose throat was ripped out was thrown aside casually. It was not easy to throw away an adult like this.
As for the guard he checked, although the magic robe on his body was not a high-end product, it was more than enough to resist some ordinary sword damage.
But the claw marks that killed him directly tore his clothes apart. There were only two possibilities, either the lizard man was strong enough and his claws were sharp enough, or it could break the magic.
Judging from the sharp claws that attacked him, Xing Ze was more willing to believe the first possibility. The lasso failed to completely bind the monster. It hissed and screamed, turned over and attacked Xing Ze.
The young wizard ducked and dodged, rolling on the ground to block the children. The young lady was right to use the lasso. The monster was not attracted by Harry just now. Its slightly arched back and the constant swallowing of its snake tongue were all signs of attack.
As for why it was reluctant to take action, it might be to determine whether Harry was of the same kind as it. Therefore, judging from its sensitive reaction and agile speed, it is obviously impossible to hit it with a single magic.
The binding lasso is like a fishing net, which is one of the few range magics that can be used at this time.
"Call the magic power." Xing Ze shouted, and then rushed towards the monster quickly.
"You don't have to say it!" The young lady replied unceremoniously, and she called the magic power to make the lasso bigger.
The monster was obviously smart. It shifted its target and went towards the person who bound it, but Xing Ze did not let it succeed. He kicked the monster's side and kicked it out.
Ellie's lasso was finally completed, and the lizardman struggled violently, his mouth full of sharp teeth opened and closed, and hissed continuously.
"It's calling for help!" Harry suddenly shouted. He looked quite weak, probably because he used too much Parseltongue and it put a lot of strain on his spirit.
Xing Ze frowned slightly, and he heard a rustling sound coming from above his head. Ventilation duct! This thought suddenly flashed through his mind,
"Ellie, get out of the way!" he warned, but a shadow jumped out of the pipe exit above Ellie's head.
That thing was so fast that Xing Ze had no time to rescue it, even though he rushed to Ellie at the first moment.
At the critical moment, the shadow was hit by something, and with a loud crackling sound, the attacker paused, which was enough time for Xing Ze.
The blue beak turned into a long whip and directly wrapped around the lizard monster. As Xing Ze pulled, the monster was pulled over.
It tried to resist, but was kicked in the face by Xing Ze and fainted directly.
It should be the last one. Xing Ze exhaled heavily, and he shouted to the children and patients: "Go, leave here, go to the hallway. Mr. Weasley is waiting for you there."
After the children left, Xing Ze looked at the monster in the net. It was still struggling. Ellie increased the input of magic power to make the lasso stronger.
"Any ideas?"
Xing Ze frowned, and his blue beak turned into a black blade and stabbed into the monster's head.
"What a simple and clear answer."
Just when Xing Ze was about to deal with the remaining lizard man, he found that it had stopped breathing.
