Chapter 43 Three Monsters Make Trouble at Hogwarts
Chapter 43 Three Monsters Make Trouble at Hogwarts~
At this time, in the basement, three monsters were wreaking havoc along the corridor.
They pushed down armor, smashed statues, tore up paintings, and so on. Even the torches and braziers on the wall were hit by a stick.
The people in the portraits screamed and ran away. Some ladies and madams didn't care too much and lifted their skirts and ran wildly, revealing their underwear.
By the way, the portraits in the magic world are so detailed, and there are layers? Even this has paintings! Realistic!
Ansu quietly landed on the high relief that was invisible in the firelight, and Ted was observing these monsters through its eyes.
These three monsters are different.
The first one seemed to be a modified version of the giant monster, three meters and five meters tall, a circle larger than the ordinary giant monster, with a light yellow front and a dark blue back. There were many wart-like protrusions, like crocodile skin, but the bumps were bigger, and it looked rough and thick.
This thing's head is only the size of an ordinary person, even thinner than its thick neck, making its head, neck and shoulders look like a triangle.
This makes it look very resistant to beating! But it also makes it look very bulky, and the angle of its head's rotation is limited, which is very inflexible. It can only turn about 60 degrees left and right, and its visual angle is limited!
It holds a huge club and smashes everywhere. A full-body armored man by the wall was swung by it and flew more than three meters away, and it was all deflated. It even stepped on it!
This thing has the combat power of several adult wizards, but its IQ is still so low judging by its behavior.
Ted used the identification technique on it through Ansu, and the result was:
Transformed Giant Monster
Level: Level 6 Giant Monster/Level 2 Transformed Magical Creature
Attributes:
Strength 17
Constitution 14
Agility 4
Intelligence 3
Perception 4
Spirit 4
Charm 3
Luck? ?
Talent: [Blood of the Giant (Green)]
Skills: Giant Strength lv2, Magic Resistance lv2, Fast Healing lv2, Roar lv2
...
Evaluation: The transformed troll injected with the blood of the alien troll has doubled its combat power.
The total level is 8, which is already the combat level of ordinary Aurors. Ordinary adult wizards can only run and cannot fight.
Of course, the intelligence of 3 is a flaw. It is not much stronger than the smarter beasts!
If there is only one monster like this, Ted will not worry at all. After all, the upper limit of strength depends on intelligence. No matter how strong the strength is, if the intelligence is low, it is still a waste.
Ansu inserted his long mouth under the wings: Oh my God! What is so smelly?
Ted quickly cut off the olfactory connection with Ansu. In just a few seconds, he almost vomited because of nausea.
Hermione saw Ted holding his chest and asked with concern: "Ted, are you okay?"
"It's okay, fortunately, I won't die~"
He didn't know whether the troll was so smelly or became more smelly after Professor Quirrell's transformation. In short, this stench is simply a range attack.
By the way, there are two other monsters.
The second monster, what kind of bug is it, a combination of a spider and a mantis?
It has a spider-like hindquarters and eight legs, but a mantis-like front half, long neck, triangular head and two big swords.
It is 1.7 meters tall with its neck held high, and is about 2.5 meters long. The color is weird, a mixture of yellow, green and gray, like camouflage.
If it were in the wild, it would probably be hard to spot, but it is still somewhat conspicuous in the castle.
Spider Mantis
Level: Level 4 Giant Bug/Level 1 Transformed Magical Creature
Attributes:
Strength 9
Constitution 8
Agility 7
Intelligence 3
Perception 5
Spirit 4
Charm 4
Luck? ?
Talent: [Camouflage Color (Green)]
Skills: Knife Slash lv2, Climbing lv2, Compound Eyes lv2.
…
Evaluation: It is a success to combine and enlarge two insects under the effect of magic.
This monster is much worse. If it is level 5, its combat power is equivalent to that of an ordinary wizard who has just graduated.
Of course, these are just paper data. Many wizards have studied for seven years without any battles, and they can't use any magic when they panic.
Although Dumbledore and Voldemort were taught, Hogwarts is still called "Great Britain's Secondary Magic Academy" after all~
The Defense Against the Dark Arts class is like this, so it's normal for graduates to have poor combat effectiveness.
But this half-spider, half-mantis is different. Just looking at its shape and compound eyes, you can tell that it is a cold and ruthless hunting machine.
It won't be soft-hearted or afraid, and its actual combat effectiveness is much stronger.
The last one is much smaller, a quadruped beast.
It is obviously a canine like a dog or a wolf, 80 cm tall and 1.5 meters long.
But it has long front legs and short hind legs, and walks like an ape with its arms supported, and there are some tiger stripes on its body.
The color of the lower body is grayish, and the transition to the upper body is golden yellow, and there is a short sharp horn on its head.
It should be noted that it has a big mouth, and a mouthful of steel teeth reflects cold light. If it bites, the armor will be chopped into a sieve.
Unnamed Horned Beast
Level: Level 3 Magical Breeding Magical Creature
Attributes:
Strength 6
Constitution 6
Agility 6
Intelligence 3
Perception 5
Spirit 4
Charisma 4
Luck? ?
Talent: None.
Skills: Claw lv2, Pounce lv2, Bite lv2.
…
Evaluation: The idea is totally unintelligible. The creator tried to use some means to create a new magical creature, but it seems to be of little value.
This monster has much worse combat power and no special abilities.
Even the identification technique did not give a name, or this thing originally had no body, unlike the previous two which were transformed from the original body.
This thing was created out of nothing, just like the basilisk?
But because the creator did not name it, it can only be called the Unnamed Horned Beast.
In fact, there are many similar situations. In the magic world, many magical creatures are the experimental products of wizards.
It's just that most species cannot be eliminated by time and die out after a few generations or only one generation.
For example, the blasting-tailed skrewt created by Hagrid later, if it has no value and cannot reproduce on its own in the wild, it will soon die out.
Ted decided to call this monster: Quirrell Horned Beast!
Because there is no need to think about it, it is definitely related to Professor Quirrell!
...
"How is it? Did you see what it is?" Harry couldn't help asking.
Ted stretched out his hand, "Hold my hand, I will show you what I see."
The friends were confused: Are you secretly practicing magic that we don't know about?
Five hands were stacked on Ted's hand, and Ted used his psychic power to transmit the images he saw through Ansu's eyes to them.
This is a new ability that Ted has recently developed through Ansu.
The connection between magic pets and wizards is much deeper than many people imagine.
Wizards can even cast spells through magic pets.
For example, Dumbledore can do a lot of things through the phoenix Fawkes.
Ted also found that he was gradually getting deeper in touch with Ansu, and they could understand each other without speaking.
And during a meditation, he established a connection with Ansu, and could hear what it heard and see what it saw.
And the ability to share inner pictures with friends was developed from this.
Now we still need to help, and in the future, we may be able to convey information by looking at each other.
It's a bit like soul reading!
Three monsters appeared in the eyes of the friends.
"Gudong~" Jerry swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"It seems a bit dangerous?" Ron grinned. When he saw the legs of the spider, his legs went limp.
Not to mention Neville: "Shall we go back?"
Looking at the big stick that was not much shorter than him, he was worried that he would never have the chance to be scolded by his grandmother in the future!
Harry disagreed, "We have to try! It's not like we have to fight them head-on, we have to stop them and buy some time for the professors!"
Hermione asked calmly: "What to stop? Fire spell? Cutting spell? I'm afraid our spells don't have that kind of power."
This is good news, at least they didn't get carried away and have the illusion that they could kill back.
This age group is exactly the age group of bear children who can: use a furious fist to penetrate a steel plate, slide to open a tiger's chest, dodge bullets quickly, and pretend to be dead to kill a bear.
Ted was very pleased to see that everyone was so calm.
Everyone looked at Ted. The strongest fighter here was undoubtedly Ted.
They saw Ted cut off the head of a training dummy with a cutting spell when he was practicing.
Then you can use the repair spell to fix it and continue to kill. It's simply the king of torture!
If Ted said there was no hope, then he would definitely go home.
Ted thought for a while: "Well... I remember there is a secret passage nearby? Even if you are really defeated, you can still run away."
The Weasley twins searched for magic puzzles all day long and found many secret passages and mechanisms.
There happened to be one in the basement nearby. If you are really defeated, hide in it. The monsters have no way to deal with it.
Ted also decided to take a risk after analysis.
Among the three monsters, the Quirrell Horned Beast actually has little combat power. It is stronger than a wolf, but not much stronger.
A normal fifth-year wizard can easily deal with it as long as he is not nervous.
The spider mantis is quite dangerous, mainly because it is flexible and has great lethality.
But because it has no magical ability, it is actually no problem if you know more spells.
The most difficult thing is the modified giant monster!
The size of this thing is enough to make people drink a pot.
And its natural magic resistance skin makes it difficult for ordinary spells to work. It was like a rampaging magic armored vehicle.
Ted and his friends were holding pistols, so it was hard to deal with them.
The only good thing was that its IQ was really low. And it didn't have any innate magical abilities, except for body odor...
