Ryan and Hermione climbed to the top of the hill after following the route they had scouted and looked down, and the scene in front of them proved that they had arrived.

It is an intermountain basin surrounded by mountains. The area of the basin is not small, and there is even a small mountain lake in the basin that provides water. There are several campfires at the bottom of the hill, about the size of a regular Boy Scout camp. But compared to the shadows of the six or seven meters high and the hills around them, these bonfires seem much smaller.

"Are they giants?" Ryan and Hermione were lying in a small pit at the top of the mountain, cloaked in camouflage nets, holding shimmering night vision binoculars and looking down. "It's so ugly!"

Ryan agreed with Hermione that the giants looked heavier than elephants, and their skin was as rough as rhinoceros skin. Their heads resembled balls covered with curly, thick, dirty hair. The facial features seem to be roughly hewn out of a large stone ball. The short, thick nose was almost shapeless, the mouth was crooked, and it was covered with strange yellow teeth the size of half a brick, and the eyes were cloudy brownish-green, small by the standards of a giant. Their ugly heads grow directly on their shoulders, and there are barely visible necks between them.

"They're damned!" Ryan cursed as he took a closer look at the giant's camp.

"What happened. Hermione turned her head to look at Ryan, who was lying next to her, and he noticed that Ryan's face was very ugly now, as if there was a great anger suppressed in his heart.

"Look at them in the pot. Ryan said in a low voice. Hermione aimed her binoculars at the cauldron on a campfire, and let out a suppressed exclamation after a few closer looks. For it was a human hand that had been turned over with a stick.

"Hagrid didn't say that, no one ever told me that giants eat people. Hermione looked at Ryan in shock and said.

"In the past, they may have only occasionally eaten Muggles that had strayed into the valley, but it seems that the Death Eaters have been much more evil than they were in the past, and they must have forgotten the painful lesson of their defeat last time, and awakened the evil power in their hearts. ”

Ryan said, pointing to a small cave on the cliff on the other side, "I feel like there are at least 20 people in there, but only two magic reactions. It is likely that the Muggles that the Death Eaters had caught from nowhere had given the giants a way to provoke their bloodthirsty nature. The Death Eaters don't think of the Giants as their allies, they see them as filthy monsters, and they only want to use their fighting power to cause us trouble. In this case, they will definitely use various methods to make the giant more brutal and savage. ”

After the two men moved to the other side of the valley directly opposite the cave, they confirmed their inference through the binoculars: McNeil, dressed in black robes, was sitting at the entrance of the cave with a wand in his hand, and from the entrance of the cave, they could faintly see that there were some iron cages inside, some empty, some locked up. Those in the cage judged by the clothes on their bodies to be Muggles.

"What are we going to do?" asked Hermione. "There are too many people on the other side, there are only two of us. ”

"Drink this first. Ryan pulled out a bright red flask. "Don't want to sleep tonight, we need to figure out what these guys are doing now and then make a plan of action. ”

After two hours of observation, they finally discovered a weak point in each other. That is, the third Death Eater on the periphery has very little contact with the others, and if he knocks it out first, he will not worry about others finding out for at least a day or two.

The Death Eater who was hiding seemed cautious, hollowing out the middle of a large tree with several people a few meters above the ground and hiding in it, disposing of the excavated wood with an vanishing charm and finally putting the bark back in place. In this way, no one will be able to detect that there is a person hiding in the tree for a short time. At the same time, the small hole in the bark of the tree was just enough to monitor the top of the cave where the two Death Eaters were staying.

The area around the tree was also covered by the Death Eater's defensive spells and surveillance spells, turning the area into a nice fortification.

Ryan was able to spot this guy because such a tree was very abrupt under the perception of natural magic. It's like a light in the night. And the reason why the Death Eater left such a big hole is naturally because there has been no wizard in Britain who has mastered the magic of nature for hundreds of years, and of course this aspect will not be taken into account.

"You stay here and monitor the giants below, and use your ring to inform me of something. I'm going to get rid of the Death Eater hiding in the shadows. Ryan explained Hermione's words and climbed out of the observation point upside down, only to get up behind the tree and climb onto the tree and leave.

"Good luck!" Hermione said in a voice that only she could hear as Ryan left, and then raised her binoculars and continued to stare at the giants below and the cave opposite.

Ryan jumped rapidly on the branches of the trees in the forest, not stopping until he was more than a dozen meters away from the tree where the Death Eaters were hidden. Because he sensed that there was a magical defense around him.

"Let me see. Ryan pulled out a purple crystal ball and made a few gestures to it, and the crystal ball quickly showed a lot of runes.

"Defend peacefully, protect all of them, and bring down the enemy's traps. Does it seem like this Death Eater uses a regular amount of magic - what is it?" Ryan suddenly noticed that the crystal ball showed a magic that he didn't know before.

"Souls, perceptions, shockwaves, any sapient creature that gets close to it will take a shock to the soul? It seems that the guy hiding in the tree is a soul attack wizard. Ryan thought about taking out a few spells from the space bag for soul defense and blessing himself. After that, you will begin to break down the surrounding defenses and magic.

Each time a spell is done, the runes on the crystal ball that represent that spell disappear. It wasn't until the last rune disappeared after 15 minutes that Ryan checked his equipment and jumped out.

Once he was in the tree where the man was hiding, Ryan touched the tree beneath him and quietly communicated with the tree, and soon he figured out where the Death Eater was hiding: the guy was now sitting against the wall of the hollow, looking around through the small hole in the moving bark.

"Leaning against a tree, that's easy. Ryan smiled at this, and pulled out the enemy fencing he had last picked up from the Lord of the Rings universe and walked over to a branch above the Death Eater's leaning side.

"Now – hands-on. "Death Eaters are human after all, the moment they felt the guy in the hollow of the tree bow his head and drink water. Ryan, who had been standing on a branch with his eyes closed, opened his eyes suddenly, and then jumped off the branch with his head and feet.

The wind whistled in my ears, and the earth rushed in my face. But Ryan's brain was still running fast and calmly.

"1, 2, hands-on. After counting two counts in his mind, Ryan, who was sure that he had arrived at his location, slammed the sword in his hand into the trunk of the tree. The elven-forged magic sword was manipulated by Ryan to penetrate the 20cm thick wood and a layer of magical defense, piercing directly through the other side of the wood and piercing the Death Eater's neck, before the tip of the sword came out of the dick's throat.

The Death Eaters were killed on the spot, after all, even if wizards were more resilient than Muggles, the neck bones and the nerves inside would still die on the spot if they were all amputated in an instant.

The moment the sword stabbed in, Ryan immediately let go and flipped in the air to adjust his posture, and then landed firmly on his feet and rolled to dissolve the impact.

Soon he stood up again, wand in his hand, vigilantly aiming at the part of the tree trunk where the enemy was. But the expected counterattack did not materialize.

After using life magic to sense that the person inside was indeed dead, Ryan directly removed the trap under the tree and retrieved his sword, and then removed the bark.

"Amycus?? Carol. After picking the corpse's jaw with the tip of his sword, Ryan recognized the identity of the Death Eater he had killed. As one of the ten Death Eaters who escaped from prison, Ryan had seen his picture in the newspapers before. This would explain why the surrounding defenses are very average, because this person was also known for his simple brain, but he was more capable of fighting and extremely cruel. It is likely that he would not have put in place those complex defenses in the first place.

"The first goal has been achieved and the perimeter has been cleaned up. The next task is to deal with those core issues. Ryan thought he had probably packed up his loot and hurried off to join Hermione.
