The rain finally stopped, and at Phoenix's urging, they didn't stop to take shelter from it, but sprinted all the way. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info When they came to a depression, they found a fresh corpse.

Phoenix and the kaftan carefully touched left and right, and in the woods, a corpse was suddenly found, which was particularly important. They can learn some dangerous information from the corpse.

Both wore special thick leather gloves to prevent the corpse from being poisoned and indirectly poisoned. The kaftan flipped over the corpse, and Phoenix gasped. Only half of the body remained, and the left half of the entire body seemed to melt away. With this movement, countless flesh-colored tentacles appeared on the ground, and the number of them made people's scalps tingle.

At the same time, countless tentacles appeared from the golden hair, eyes, and mouths, attacking their hands.

Hermione exclaimed, telling them to be careful.

"Relax," the kaftan waved to keep them nervous, "it's a maneat—"

"If you listen to the name, you can't relax. Phoenix's face was gloomy, he hadn't heard of it, "What to do?"

The flesh-colored tentacles were like small earthworms, sticking to their shoes, climbing up the ladder in retreat, constantly trying to puncture their clothes in the middle, but they seemed to be powerless against the clothes and did no harm to them.

Nor did he dare to react rashly, lest the situation become even more out of control.

"These grasses are still in the seedling stage, as long as they are tightly wrapped, they are not dangerous. The robe picked up the corpse and stood up to Hermione and Harry, "Wear gloves lest some man-eating grass touch your hands." ”

After saying that, he threw the corpse hard, and the man-eating grass immediately broke away from Phoenix and the long shirt and chased the corpse away.

"What the hell is this!" Harry turned pale and felt sick.

The grass surrounded the corpses, some distance away from them. The caftan gave them a brief introduction to this plant.

"Man-eating grass is a plant that is unique to my alma mater. If there is enough nourishment, they are not easy to deal with, and the grass here probably rarely encounters prey - you see, the invisible beasts that used to follow us are gone - and if they are adults, we are afraid that we will be dead. ”

"They're not smart, they're easy to deal with. It can't leave a certain range, but it's very well hidden, and people who don't know about them often die unclear. He pointed to the corpse, "I guess he's the first in the team in front of us to sit down and rest, and they attack as soon as the exposed skin is close to the ground." You don't feel anything unusual at all, located at the top of the mouthparts after puncturing your skin, down your veins—"

"Don't say it," Hermione shuddered, "it's cruel. ”

"It's an early form of aggression that I learned how to deal with in school. But adulthood is too dangerous, and I don't know what to do. Expect nothing here. ”

The caftan waved his hand to move on.

"They don't leave the roots. The caftan couldn't help but look back at Harry and said.

"It's too dangerous for your school to plant this thing nearby. Hermione asked hurriedly.

"Our school was often attacked by others in the early years, and it was a form of defense. However, it is now outdated, and wizards can use brooms and flying carpets to cross directly. ”

He was silent for a moment, then said hesitantly.

"I've heard that this plant was created by the founder of the school. But here it appears, I'm afraid the rumors are wrong. Then it could be, in another way, and I've always taken it as a story -- anyway, everybody be vigilant and it's better not to touch anything. ”

"Maybe the family bought it from your school. "Phoenix said to the caftan that he was half hiding and half acting, not very happy, what else was hiding at this time.

The caftan did not answer, but walked forward. Phoenix didn't ask any more questions, and soon the forest began to thin out and the terrain became flattened.

After turning over a giant tree lying in front of them, their eyes suddenly opened up. A grayish-white tree nearly 100 meters tall appeared in front of him, so thick that no one could see the edge at first glance, as if it were a tree wall. On the tree, there were countless vines as thick as adults, hanging down from the trees like willows, some hanging in the air, some hanging to the ground.

The thick trunks of the trees shook from time to time, and the falling leaves struck them like moths in the sky with a gust of wind.

"If this is a beating willow, it is estimated that a vine can shoot us into meat sauce. Phoenix had never seen an ancient tree this big, he said as he got closer.

She grabbed a fluttering leaf, the dark green leaf was soft and turning grayish white at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"It shouldn't be a beating willow. Hermione whispered, "There are veins on the leaves of the Beater Willow. ”

"Yes, it shouldn't be a beating willow. But—" the caftan said uneasily, "I have never seen such a plant. ”

When it approached the ancient tree cautiously, it did not attack, but rubbed the bark with vines, as if scratching an itch. The vines sensed that someone was approaching, and they were alert, and they rose up like snakes.

They immediately stopped, not daring to move on.

"Expert, what to do?" Phoenix quipped.

I saw the plank road before and built it to their feet, and if I wanted to go deep into the ancient tomb, I would definitely have to pass this ancient tree. Looking back, the plank road looks like a stairway to heaven.

The cheongsam didn't answer immediately, squatted down, put his hands on the ground, and whispered, "The whirlwind sweeps away!"

The fallen leaves, branches, and dirt on the ground were turned over, revealing the neat bluestone slabs below. He waved his hand forward, and the white light flashed, and a wide avenue was revealed starting from the small bluestone slab and ending at the root of the ancient tree. The earth rushed to both sides like a wave, and the vines avoided it, still holding their heads high.

"We're going into the tree, or maybe it's above the entrance—" Before the robe could finish speaking, the vine suddenly moved.

They are entangled like snakes, slowly forming a human form, living like a mermaid. The thing snaked towards them, leaving an "S"-shaped wavy trail on the ground, more like the way a merfolk move on the ground. As it gets closer, it gets bigger and bigger.

"We're just waiting?" the Phoenix wand pointed steadily at the vines.

"I think it might want to talk to us. Hermione reached out and pressed down his wand slightly, "We should relax." ”

"Are you sure?" said Harry's hand trembled slightly.

The caftan didn't say a word, just made a gesture that was ready to run away at any time.

"Ah, there have been so many visitors lately. Its sudden startle startled them, and they all took a big step back.

An ancient tree that has lived in an ancient tomb for thousands of years can actually speak, and it can speak Latin—it's really the size of the world, it's not surprising.

"My name is Yue. Gu Shu said that its pronunciation is very sharp, and if you listen carefully, you can still hear that its accent is also a bit of a local character, much like the characteristics of the Italian region today.

"I've been to Venice with my partner before. ”

"I didn't know you were mentioned in that codex. Phoenix took a deep breath, calmed down, and replied.

"Oh, I was very young back then, about the same as the Tree Guard. My partner has put me in his pocket - who are you?" it didn't move, but could feel it ask the caftan again.

They communicate in Old Mandarin, and the content is completely unknowable. These days, even plants know several foreign languages, which makes Phoenix embarrassed. But after only a few words, it said it again to Phoenix.

"It's okay for you to go in, but—yes," Moon thought for a moment, "there must be conditions." ”

"What?" Phoenix looked at the moon incredulously.

It makes sense that the tree is friends with a wizard. It may have been held by a friend, but for a tree, it is no different from the forest outside.

But they were clearly intruders, and it didn't attack them.

"I only promised to guard the entrance for 2,500 years, and now it has expired. Yue squirmed, "Just provide a sacrifice and promise me one more thing, and I'll let you in." ”
