Chapter 335: The Underground Castle (Part 1: Thank You to the Book Friends Who Have Shared My Hardships)
Hermione stepped back and forth to the top of the stairs.
It is a spiral staircase built on the mountain, with 3 spiral steps, each with a small platform interval between them.
The spiral ladder is about five feet wide and is crudely made. Although it is narrow, it should not be dangerous to walk in general.
Hermione stepped back onto the platform, turned around, and confronted the Dinosaur.
These dinosaurs look very ferocious and are about 3 feet long.
They bared their teeth and raised their heads high, ready to attack Hermione.
Hermione drew her wand, trying to block their attack with a stumbling barrier.
But one of them sprang to his feet, like an off-string arrow, and lunged at Hermione.
"Ten thousand bullets!" Hermione yelled.
The gravel, gravel, and bones of the critters on the platform instantly attacked the dinosaurs like cannonballs.
The moat wailed violently, was beaten into a sieve, and fell from the sky, blood spilling all over the ground.
At the same time, the other two Dire Rat stared at Luna, as if ready to attack.
Luna tentatively took a step back, like a signal, and the two dinosaurs, their black mushy mouths, slumped in with a murderous expression.
Allen's hand holding his wand tightened, he controlled his desire to step forward and help solve it, Luna and Hermione needed to exercise.
And with the ability of these dire rats, even if they are injured, the injuries will not be too serious.
What's more, with Allen here, as long as he is not fatally injured, he should be cured in an instant.
"All petrified!" The dinosaur on the left froze in the air with a pounce posture and then fell heavily to the ground.
The dinosaur on the right, still baring its teeth, pounced on Luna with no diminishing momentum.
Hermione hurriedly ran to Luna, wanting to help.
"Ahh
Hermione was too anxious to notice that the steps in front of her were stained with rat blood and became so smooth that she fell off the stairs in a flash.
"Iron armor!" Luna shouted, and the other mouse, which pounced on Luna, flew out as if it had hit an invisible wall, and fell down the stairs.
Alan and Luna hurried to the edge of the stairs and looked over.
I saw that the unlucky dinosaur writhed its limbs desperately in the air, but to no avail, it fell to the platform on the second floor, and twitched weakly on the ground, obviously not lightly injured.
And Hermione-
Her phantom feather cloak unfurled in the air, gliding her down the spiraling staircase to the platform below, where Hermione landed safely.
Alan and Luna also quickly rushed up the spiral ladder to the platform where Hermione was.
"Hermione, are you alright?" Alan asked worriedly, looking at Hermione's slightly pale face.
"I'm fine, Alan. This cloak saved me from falling. Hermione looked shocked. Her hand grabbed the corner of her cloak, and she was very happy.
"I didn't do it because I thought it was a good opportunity and I believed you could solve it, and you did. ”
Alan patted her on the shoulder soothingly, and the three of them moved on.
The three of them followed the spiral staircase to a small clearing.
The clearing, which stretches to the north and south, is surrounded by a large number of broken stone pillars.
The castle that appeared before them was clearly the legendary Dark City, and the wooden gates of the castle towers stood not far to the west.
The castle was surrounded by the ruins of the crumbling stone pillars, but Alan only made a brief attempt before he stopped.
Because the stones of the ruins would shake incessantly as he moved, Allen's exploration was hindered and had to be stopped.
However, Alan noticed that small mobs could still crawl through the gaps under the rocks, such as rats or smaller creatures that could move through the crevices at will, but could only advance at a quarter of their normal speed.
Alan cautiously retreated, trying to avoid the pillar collapsing.
Suddenly, he stopped, pointed his wand back, and "ravaged the entrails" - a dinosaur that wanted to attack him from behind suddenly fell to the ground, rolling incessantly.
At first, the creature that falls under this spell will begin to stir its internal organs, and its body will be exceptionally strong, or it can endure pain for a short time and successfully cast a counter-spell such as stopping the spell, and it will be able to resist it.
Otherwise, multiple of the target creature's internal organs will be stirred through the body under the effect of the spell, and then ejected from the abdominal cavity, causing it to die.
If Eren continues to cast the spell, the internal organs of the dire rat will fly directly towards Eren and merge into his body, and the life force contained in it will provide some healing effects.
But for Allen, who has a habit of cleanliness, he doesn't want to touch the internal organs of the moat at all.
Moreover, the internal organs of the Dire are scattered on the ground, which can attract other Dinosaurs and stop them from tracking Allen.
"Stop. Eren stopped Hermione and Luna suddenly.
The two men obediently stopped, watching curiously as Alan crouched down and observed the ground in front of them.
"You see, the color of the dirt is a little different from the surroundings, it's a little different from the humidity, and it looks like it's just been renovated. ”
Alan said, pointing to an area in front of him.
He drew his wand and, with a levitation charm, controlled a pillar of stone from the ruins to fly towards the area.
As the pillar fell, a trap appeared in front of the trio.
Inside the trap lay two skeleton corpses, a corpse that had died about a week earlier, and a live rat.
The Dire Rats survive by feeding on their dead kinds, but are trapped by the restoration of the mechanism.
"We can go down that road. Hermione said.
Alan nodded, and at the same time, suggested that everyone should first put on the soft shoe covers in the H94 uniform equipment to avoid making a sound while walking, which would alarm the people inside.
Around the trap, an edge about a foot wide was available to move forward, and the trio quietly navigated the trap.
After continuing for a long distance, he finally reached the door safely.
The wooden door in front of him doesn't look any different from an ordinary door. But none of the three acted rashly.
Alan first checked to see if there was a mechanism on the door, and after receiving a negative answer, he leaned forward and leaned forward slightly, listening to the movement behind the door.
Then, he took a few steps back, wand in hand, ready to attack at any moment.
He glanced at Luna, who understood, "The Alaho Cave Opens", and the wooden door silently opened a crack.
After waiting for a while, there was no abnormality, and the three pushed the door in.
In front of him was a circular hall littered with broken stones.
In addition, they found four torn carcasses of the Dinosaur, with black blood stains on the walls behind them.
Alan stepped forward, looked closely, and came to the conclusion: "Judging from these scars, it should have been done by a werewolf!"
