Chapter 135: Taking a Shortcut
Recently, I have to help my cousin open a store, and I basically don't have time to write, so the update will become very unstable

Leaving the tomb full of murals, the group entered the place that the cheongsam had previously mentioned. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
It's amazingly big, and the facilities are amazing. He said it was common in large mausoleums, and that the number of deaths in a particular period was particularly high for a number of reasons in the wizarding family. Even those who survived couldn't finish the coffin in one trip, and needed a place to temporarily suspend their spirits.
Some people will stay to keep the vigil, and there will definitely be some living facilities. I can't really kneel for a few days, I don't feel distressed, and my parents are distressed.
"Look at that. Harry pointed into the distance, "It's like- it's like a coffin, it won't be a problem." β
"There must be no traps here. The robe glanced at and then withdrew his gaze.
"Whatever, it's true to hurry up. Phoenix urged.
There were no forks in the road or any notable anomalies, and they passed without a hitch. Until a broken door appeared in front of them, twisted metal in the shape of a trumpet, as if something had exploded inside the door.
"It seems that we are not the first people to come here, someone has been," the cheongsam carefully examined the remains of the gate, "and the mana is not low, this metal is made of alchemy, and ordinary magic cannot shake it in the slightest." β
Phoenix said silently, "He's right in front." β
"Shall we remind him?" Hermione would ask.
He shook his head and stepped forward.
"Let's go. β
The cheongsam hesitated for a moment before getting up and said to them, "I'm afraid it won't be so peaceful in the future, be careful." β
The two Yin Corpses walked in front, and they cautiously followed behind. Without the reminder of the long shirt, the three of them have been extremely vigilant.
The tomb is well lit and the wand does not need to be illuminated.
Soon they came across several forks in the road, and when they went up to check, they found that all the forks were marked.
"It's new, it's just left. The caftan wore black gloves and brushed a special letter, "There is a group of people in front of us - don't be merciful if you bump into it, either you die or I die." When the time comes, it's up to you, don't blame me for not reminding you. β
The cheongsam never thought of the other way.
Their purpose was not what he thought, for the only one hidden in the tomb. It was another team of people, who entered the ancient tomb more than ten hours in advance. This situation is a bit unusual, and normal people don't think about it that way. Unless they collide head-on, Phoenix doesn't plan to reveal a single bit about their true purpose.
Voldemort's name is still very loud now. After the cheongsam knew the truth, he might not be willing to continue to help them.
"Can you see anything?" asked Phoenix.
"They're obviously newcomers, and they've walked so many times. He cleared his throat, "Generally speaking, large tombs have many areas, each with its own differences. There are rules to follow in the setting of each area, and there are rules for what direction to make and what room to make. The last way they took was to the main burial chamber, which was formerly the most important part of the tomb, the library and the vault. β
"But then again, they were able to get through the previous Yin corpse, and they weren't easy to mess with. "If we're lucky, maybe we'll get ahead of them and into the library," he said. β
"Are you sure?" said Phoenix, skeptically.
He's been to the pyramid, and the structure inside the pyramid is not complicated, so what's the shortcut? Besides, this is a place for the dead, and there is no need for ghosts.
"There are a lot of passages that are designed to fulfill certain allegories, symbols, and are not intended to be walked by. But we might as well borrow it. He spoke confidently and seemed confident in his own judgment.
"Don't mess with us and take us to some strange place. Harry reminded.
"Don't worry, you will know where the destination is by looking at the cemetery, and you won't be wrong. With that, he stood up and continued to lead the way.
Led by the robes, they did not follow the path Voldemort had tried to take the last time, but instead set foot on a tomb path that did not seem very safe.
Phoenix thought for a moment and didn't stop it, although it was safest to take Voldemort's path, but they had the advice of professionals, and they should be able to catch up, or even rush to the library.
The narrow passage was only two meters high, far less wide than the other tunnels. The walking tunic kept track of their steps, and out of caution, they didn't ask out loud.
"950 steps, that's it. He stopped and began to inspect the walls. Leaning down, his hands as if playing a piano, he groped his way around the stone walls and floors.
"There should be a path leading from here to the garden, and beyond the garden is the passage to the main burial chamber, and there is no fork in the road. He found the mechanism, but didn't press it.
The spell with the trick in the hand seems to determine the nature of this mechanism.
"Of course, I've only heard. Get readyβ"
Before they could understand what they were ready for, the floor beneath their feet suddenly emptied, and everyone fell. The crash was done in the instant of the lightning, and Phoenix sat on some kind of furry object.
"It's a Sphinx. "Cheongsam is very good, or he is the only one who has been prepared.
Before the three of them could understand it, he had already begun to examine the dead body under his ass. A whole Sphinx, the blood was so viscous that it was impossible to tell what had struck it.
"It was killed in an instant. The caftan lifted its head, its feminine face with a stunned expression, "That group of people should have solved it in one move - look at the footprints." β
Following the direction he pointed, they saw three rows of wet footprints growing in color from far to near. It can be judged that they are in a hurry and swimming.
Voldemort came in the right direction, and there were two intersections arranged in a T-shape.
"Can you tell when it died?" Phoenix asked, looking down.
"About an hour. He was absolutely sure.
Harry and Hermione were tempted to keep their previous vigilance, but human energy was limited, and they had been doubly careful along the way. Not only do you have to watch out for monsters you might encounter, but you also have to worry about the situation of 'love around the corner'.
At this point, they were a little tired and couldn't keep up.
"You need to rest," the robe said, tilting his neck as he collected valuable parts of the Sphinx, "and behind it is the garden, one of the nodes that maintain the ecological cycle of the entire tomb. You'd better listen carefully to the magical creatures and herbs classes. β
Set off again, passing through the long cemetery, the front suddenly opened up. They were on top of a cliff and found a huge basin in front of them, filled with smoke, and not far away a magnificent waterfall cascading down the rockery - the scene before them was so spectacular that words could not express it.
"Big enough," Phoenix said, leaning over the pergola and looking into the distance, "can you see the big tree in the distance?"
Harry wiped his sweat and said, "Beat Willow?"
"I hope so. β
Phoenix was hoping that Harry was right, there were so many kinds of plants that even experts in the field would not dare to say that they knew all the plants in the world. One could only hope that it didn't overlap their path, but the giant tree was so conspicuous that it was unavoidable.
"It should be the regular entrance," the cheongsam pointed to the waterfall, "and our final target should be the big tree in the center." β
After he kept looking, Phoenix noticed that an inconspicuous plank path extended from the waterfall, leading straight into the depths of the jungle, and if there was no disguise, it could indeed reach the tree.
"And how do we go down?" Hermione treaded cautiously on the edge of the cliff, looking down.
"Jump, use the Shock Absorbing Charm. β
