Chapter 399: The Civet Cat in the Gold Treasure Chest and a Group of Scorpion Tailed Beasts
In the center of the maze, Aaron yawned a bit bored.
He sat next to the pedestal, not looking at the trophy, but looking at a golden treasure chest placed in the corner, with a scornful smile on his lips.
He didn't know what magical animals were in the golden treasure chest, but he was sure that there would be a more detailed live map.
But he had reached the end, so he could just sit back and wait, persuade others to cooperate with him with emotion and reason, and it would be good for everyone to win the championship of the three-power competition together.
As for the golden treasure chest full of uncertainty, no matter how far it rolled, only a fool would open it.
Just as Aaron was thinking this, a scream broke the silence around him, and it was obvious that he was running for his life in a panic.
"Hou Li Crab! This woman did it on purpose!"
Aaron stood up suddenly and used the unlocking spell directly on the golden treasure chest.
At the same time, he made up his mind that he would never set a flag casually in the future, and now he was the fool who would open the golden treasure chest.
But there was no way, he thought of everything, but ignored the ability of the warrior.
Not having a big accident was also one of Adrian's conditions. If he really didn't help, he would have to go home and have a blind date after the holiday.
The treasure chest was opened, and there was no huge monster inside, but a black cat the size of a lion, with sharp fangs and a strange blue light in its pupils.
"Civet cat, this is borrowed from the Ministry of Magic!" Aaron was very speechless in his heart. This was definitely Adrian's work.
It's not that he looked down on Fudge, but the Minister of Magic never made any serious decisions.
The civet cat looked at Aaron in front of him, opened his mouth full of fangs, and rushed over with a run-up.
"Fall to the ground."
The blue light hit the civet cat, but it split into three at the moment of landing.
The three civet cats stared at Aaron aggressively and slowly approached him from three directions.
"If it were any other time, I would really like to play with you guys, but now I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry."
Aaron waved his wand and three earthen cages rose from the ground, locking the civet cat inside.
Then he quickly ran to the treasure chest and took out a live map from it.
As expected, this map recorded extremely detailed information. In addition to the various routes of the maze and the specific locations of the warriors, there were also the locations of various dangerous magical creatures. The most important thing was that this map had no so-called time limit and was valid until the end of the game.
"It's worthy of being a golden treasure chest. The props opened are reliable, but...
Hiss... Are these people so greedy?"
Aaron simply glanced at the map and couldn't help but take a breath.
He saw more than 20 Dementors, two blasting-tailed skrewts, seven boggarts, six eight-eyed giant spiders, three giant crabs and five giant monsters on the map.
This maze was rebuilt based on the Quidditch field. It was not big, nor was it small, but it was still a bit difficult to accommodate so many magical animals.
The warriors would encounter a magical animal almost every few corners. If it was a Dementor or a Boggart, they could still use special spells to deal with it, but if it was a scorpion tailed skrewt or a giant monster with magic resistance, they would have to run away immediately.
After all, their magic power was not infinite. It was too laborious to subdue a giant. If they ran out of magic power when they encountered other dangers, they would have to wait for death.
But if you want to find the right route, you have to keep opening boxes, and the number of dangerous creatures will continue to increase. The longer it takes, the greater the danger.
Aaron found Furong's location on the map. She was running fast in the maze, and she was the closest to the center by accident.
The name of the magical animal marked behind her was the manticore, which was a hybrid that looked like a crab, lobster and scorpion.
"Not too far." Aaron silently calculated the distance and followed the screams and the guidance of the map to find it.
But before leaving the center of the maze, he unlocked the three cages of civet cats and cast several spells to hit them, increasing the number of civet cats several times.
After all, he had to maintain his position as the champion, and it was definitely too late to set up the barrier.
Except for Fleur, the other three were not too far from the finish line, and Harry and Cedric seemed to be walking side by side.
If he was picked by others while saving people, he would have no place to cry.
Turn left, turn right, turn left again, and then go straight...
Fleur's screams became clearer and clearer, and in addition to the dense footsteps, it sounded like goose bumps.
The fluorescent spell illuminated the road ahead, and Fleur, wearing a blue sportswear, ran over in a hurry. Her face was covered with sweat, and she was embarrassed and panicked.
"Run, run." Furong shouted hoarsely, "Behind..."
"I know the scorpion tail beast."
"No, it's not... Anyway, run."
"It's just a scorpion tail beast. Even if it's a little bigger, how big can it be? I can still..."
Aaron swallowed hard while talking.
He finally understood why Furong was in such a mess. She was followed by not just one scorpion tail beast, but a group of them. There were at least hundreds of them.
Each scorpion tail beast was the size of a crab. In addition, they had a certain magic resistance. Adult wizards could only run away when they met them.
"What kind of luck is this?" Aaron asked while leading Furong to the destination.
"How should I know?" Furong said with tears in her eyes. "I just opened a silver treasure chest, and then a group of monsters came out. They are more difficult to deal with than the underwater Grindylow.
Forget about this. Run quickly. If you are caught up, you will definitely be eaten to pieces."
"I have a way to deal with them, but there is a small condition."
Furong was stunned for a moment, and her face turned ugly. She knew very well what attracted boys the most to her.
"You should know that you can't get rid of them just by your speed." Aaron continued, "How about it? Think about it?"
Fleur hesitated for a moment, quickly kissed Aaron on the cheek, and said with a blushing face: "Are you satisfied?"
Aaron was immediately confused and stopped in a daze.
It's not that he couldn't accept it, but it was too sudden, which caught him off guard.
At the same time, hundreds of spectators outside the stadium also saw this scene, with different expressions.
Draco widened his eyes and silently gave a thumbs up to the screen. Ron looked at Aaron with envy and touched his face unconsciously. He had never been kissed by a beautiful girl since he was a child, while Hermione, who was sitting next to him, had fire in her eyes and was a little breathless.
Adrian and Genes looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths raised a playful arc. They didn't expect to have unexpected gains just by watching a game. They really didn't see the embarrassment of their younger brother (young master) at ordinary times.
"Don't wait, they're catching up." Furong shouted anxiously.
"That... Actually, my condition is not this." Aaron said a little embarrassed.
"Too greedy!" Furong said a little dissatisfied, "It's not impossible to kiss, but you have to be officially dating me, boyfriend and girlfriend."
Hearing this, Aaron's mouth twitched slightly.
"It's okay that you took advantage of me just now, I won't bother with you, but can you stop thinking about this beautiful thing now?"
"You..."
"I'll explain it later, solve the trouble in front of you first." Aaron snapped his fingers and used illusion to cover the figures of the two people, and at the same time cast the illusion of the two people into the aisle.
However, the phantom did not run away, but made exaggerated movements. As their limbs trembled, the scorpion tail beasts followed suit and were led to the opposite direction.
"It's... solved?" Furong was a little unbelievable. She was extremely embarrassed by this group of creatures.
"If you read more books, you will know that scorpion tail beasts can imitate human movements, but this only makes them stop attacking. It is not so easy to really get rid of them."
Furong also came back to her senses, looked at Aaron and asked: "What is the condition you just mentioned?"
"Giving up the championship, uh... Strictly speaking, it can't be considered giving up." Aaron said bluntly, "I mean that five warriors touch the trophy together."
"Hmm?" Furong's pupils slightly opened, and she immediately understood his plan, and said in a complicated tone: "Is this your plan?"
"Everyone is tied for the championship, and I can complete all the conditions, no one loses!" Aaron said seriously.
"This... I still want to hold on."
"Hey, hey, hey! Are you so disrespectful?" Aaron was not surprised by her attitude, and directly showed her the live point map in his hand.
"This... Which box did you find it from?" Furong asked doubtfully. If she had this map, she might have won the championship.
"The finish line, I've been waiting for you for a long time. If I hadn't heard your scream, I wouldn't have come here.
So... in a sense, I'm already the champion."
Fleur was silent for a while, "Okay, I agree to your conditions, but the others..."
"I will convince the others. If that doesn't work, I can only beat them.
But I can only give you half of the prize of one thousand Galleons, because I've been spending a lot of money recently, and it's really not enough."
Fleur smiled far-fetchedly and returned the map to Aaron.
"Oh! I think we have to speed up a bit. Harry and Cedric are only two corners away from the finish line." Aaron curled his lips, but he didn't worry much.
After all, when he left the center of the maze, he had increased the number of civets several times, which was equivalent to having more than a dozen strong and swift beasts guarding the trophy.
The two of them alone could never subdue those civets in a short time. If they used magic attacks, their number would double. By then, they would be in trouble, so how could they have the mind to fight for the trophy!
