539. Chapter 536 great swamp (subscription)

    According to previous information from Hagrid, Ivan directed Buckbeak to fly deep into the swamp.

    They flew in the white mist and watched the ground closely.

    Despite the beauty of the water in this place, the creatures living in the forest rarely come here.

    There are many places in this swamp that are bottomless and dangerous.

    It looks no different from the ordinary ground, but if you accidentally fall into it, you can only wait for death in the struggle of despair.

    Only the most experienced explorers like Hagrid can find a road through the depths of the swamp in the years of exploration.

    Although the animals in the forest are rarely close, this does not mean that there are no other creatures in this swamp.

    In fact, the opposite is true. Without the invasion of forest species, in the unique environment of great swamp, there are many rare special living organisms.

    They interact with each other to form a complete ecosystem.

    In the process of rushing, Ivan saw the large expanse of Mandrakes.

    Mandela grass, also known as Mandela grass root, is a powerful recovery agent.

    It is also an important part of most antidote to restore the deformed person or the person who has the curse to the original state.

    A few days ago on the Herbology of Professor Sprout, Ivan changed a pot of Mandela grass seedlings.

    In the vicinity of Mandela Grass, he also saw dozens of magical creatures like a piece of wood.

    They have claws, fins on their claws, and very sharp teeth that slide in the swamp.

    These magical creatures are swamp diggers that feed on small mammals and plants.

    They can cause serious damage to the ankles of pedestrians, but the favorite food is the roots of Mandela.

    The rhizome of Mandela grass is an ugly baby image that can make a harsh cry. The swamp digs feed on these roots. When they feed, they pull out the mandela and they will see a bloody, A mess of tangled things.

    The roots of Mandela's grass are not looked like by the swamps, and they can no longer cry.

    In addition to the swamp dig, Ivan also saw two Hinkypunk.

    They hid in the puddles on the side of the road, and only the lanterns hanging from the front feet were exposed to the outside with a faint glow.

    In this always foggy swamp, this light can lure travelers or passing animals to follow.

    Hinkypunk will give the wrong instructions and lead them to deliberately go to the bottomless swamp area or puddle.

    Wait until the traveler dies and feed on their rotting corpses.

    Moving on, next to a large reed, Ivan also saw a creature like a firefly that was magnified.

    Its tail glows in a reddish or yellow mist with a sharp spike.

    It floats quietly a few feet above the water to capture the plankton.

    However, before he flew far, he was eaten by a big fish that was covered with green scales and sharp fangs.

    In addition, there are a few round gray meat worms crawling slowly in a swampy mushroom-like swamp.

    This creature has a huge mouth and constantly swallows the mushroom in front.

    Behind its body is also a hole that spills green mucus.

    Ivan They seem to enter a new and magical world, and the sights they see are completely different from the usual ones.

    "The ancient ruins you said are in this place?"Kreshkov frowned.

    "Hagrid is here to meet the Manticore, we have to go east."Ivan replied.

    "I am absolutely crazy, I will come to you in this place, and be careful of Manticore that may appear at any time. It is definitely a trouble beyond your imagination!"Kreshkov said, "And, I doubt whether the relics you mentioned will have any exploration value. I have seen too many such ancient buildings, which have nothing but gravel."

    As the place where the evil god statue was first discovered, even if only the gravel remains, it is worth exploring Ivan.

    "I have my own size. You just have to follow the plan we set before. I asked Hagrid about the Manticore's habits. There is absolutely no problem as long as there is no accident."

    "First, well, even if your plans and traps work, I can only control the guy for an hour, you hurry!"Kreshkov stared at Ivan sullenly. "If I haven't come out in an hour, I won't go in and save you."

    "Sure.Ivan nodded and said, "I will pay attention to time."

    For a long time in contact with dangerous magical creatures, the wizards have come up with a set of proven control methods.

    For example, use Stunning Spell, special potions and herbs, as well as traps and more.

    Just like the upcoming Manticore, this monster's skin can immunize most of the magic language, and it is very aggressive and very dangerous. It is very difficult to defeat it positively.

    Ivan didn't know if Kreshkov could do it, but it definitely cost a lot.

    Fortunately, they are not here to beat Manticore.

    Only if you can trap this guy for a while, Ivan can do enough to explore the ruins.

    After reviewing the relevant information, Ivan chose a trap tool that met his or her own requirements.

    He asked Sirius to help him get the trap and send it to Moody's office, a magical item that specializes in dealing with dangerous magical creatures.

    As soon as it is triggered, you can quickly extend a few chains to entangle the trapped magical creature.

    Under wizard's control, the chain is hard to break free, and the duration is related to the wizard's magic power that controls the trap.

    With the strength of Kreshkov, it took more than an hour to control the Manticore.

    Of course, he was dissatisfied with being asked by Ivan to do such a thing, but he couldn't help it.

    The current situation is that Kreshkov should try to meet whatever Ivan asks.

    What's more, this thing is not dangerous at all. It only needs Kreshkov to consume magic power.

    In the past few years, Hagrid has been providing food to the Manticore living in the swamp from time to time.

    Ivan learned from Hagrid that the food that Manticore likes is Nogtail's meat.

    Nogtail is a magical creature that lives in rural Europe, Russia, and the United States.

    It looks like a stunted Pigwidgeon, with long legs, short tails, and quilted dark eyes.

    It often sneaks into the pigsty, eats the sow's milk with Pigwidgeon and destroys it.

    If it is not noticed for a long time, Nogtail will grow up.

    The longer the time, the bigger it grows, the worse the damage to the farm it enters.

    Ivan also gave Sirius a lot of Nogtail meat and sent it to Moody's office with the trap.

    Now, all of these things are in the parcels in Kreshkov's hands.
