It's morning and there's plenty of light. Li Quan raised his head and could see the whole picture of the beating willow, the branches of other willow trees were hanging down, and the branches of the beating willow were growing upward, stretching towards the sky, like a giant monster with teeth and claws.

"It's bigger than you think." Li Quan commented.

His appearance quickly attracted the attention of the beating willow. I saw that the huge strange willow tree, which was originally stationary, suddenly twisted all over, made a "squeak" sound through the bones, and smashed a clump of branches like a hammer head towards the place where Li Quan was standing.

Li Quan had already expected it, and his body jumped lightly, jumped a few steps back, and easily dodged the blow.

"It's powerful." Li Quan looked at a big pit smashed by the beaten willow branches on the spot, and smacked his tongue and commented.

He wanted to see how effective this beating willow was. He only learned something about beating people from the original books and movies, and he rarely showed real strength in beating people, and now is the right time to test it.

Thinking of this, Li Quan flipped the palm of his right hand, and a dark green seed appeared on the palm, about an inch long, with two pointed ends, and a bud waiting to be released. This is the seed of the ancient tree of war.

Throw the seed into the soil and drip a drop of the Fountain of Eternity on it. Miraculously, the seed sprouted at the top of its head, then grew rapidly, and then grew into a sapling visible to the naked eye.

Li Quan dropped another drop of the Fountain of Eternity, and then quickly stepped back a few dozen steps. Behind him, the small sapling began to grow wildly, and in the blink of an eye, it grew into a war ancient tree thirty meters high, thick and powerful.

"Up." Li Quan pointed at the beating willow and said.

After receiving the order, the ancient tree of war did not hesitate to meet the beating willow, and the two huge strange trees suddenly became a mess.

Li Quan watched carefully from the side, analyzing the fighting methods and main characteristics of the beating willows.

I saw that when the beating willow faced the ancient war tree that was taller than it, it did not flinch, and the thick willow fiercely whipped on the body of the ancient war tree, knocking the ancient war tree to the ground every time. And the ancient tree of war is even more incomprehensible, and a punch will shake the beating willow violently.

Li Quan looked at it for a while, and already had a rough experience. "The biggest advantage of beating willow is long-range attack, the range of attack of willow is very wide, the strike strength is also very fierce, and the strength is not weaker than that of the ancient tree of war. Compared with the War Ancient Tree, the height is slightly inferior, and it can't be moved, so it's still inferior overall. ”

The movement of the two huge strange trees fighting together is not insignificant, especially the ancient tree of war "rumbling" around the beating willow that does not move in place, and the branches of the beating willow are constantly smashing on the ground, just like two primitive giant beasts fighting, Li Quan can't help but smack his tongue in admiration.

He is going to be decided.

Seeing that it was almost over, Li Quan rushed forward vigorously, he knew where the weakness of this beating willow was, as long as it pressed on the scar on its trunk, it would stop attacking.

The beating willow found Li Quan approaching, and directly smashed it over, and a large piece of thick willow drove out the whistling wind, and it was about to hit Li Quan, but he saw that Li Quan's figure suddenly disappeared from the place, and the next moment it appeared on the trunk of the beating willow. He pressed his hand to an ugly scar on the trunk of the tree, and immediately, the beating willow stood still, and then slowly withdrew its branches, and was as quiet as an ordinary tree again.

Li Quan's heart moved, and he withdrew the ancient tree of war into the system space, and then pressed his hand on the beating willow, and silently said in his heart: "Submit." ”

The beating willow disappeared immediately, and Li Quan also jumped down flexibly and steadily, clapping his palms with satisfaction.

Suddenly, the ground began to tremble.

Li Quan thought of something, and his face changed slightly.

After so many years of growth, the entire root system of the willow has gone deep into the ground, and now the entire willow has disappeared in an instant, which must have caused the collapse of the underground soil.

Li Quan did not hesitate, and directly rode on the flying broomstick and took off.

He looked down in mid-air. In a few moments, the ground began to crack, and then collapsed rapidly. The scope of the collapse is constantly expanding, and as the dust and smoke rise, a huge sinkhole has collapsed where the beating willow was originally located.

Li Quan was stunned, he didn't expect to make such a big noise. I looked around, and while there was no one now, it was better to hurry up and slip away.

When Li Quan returned to Hogsmeade Village, everything was normal in the village. The news of the disappearance of the beating Liu will not be able to reach here for a while.

He found a seat at the pig's head bar and asked for an ale. He did not dare to return to the "three brooms".

At this time, in the seed store of the system, there was already an exchange for beating willow seeds.

Li Quan looked directly at the highest level 8 seed he could exchange, priced at 80 points of contribution. Now 80 points of contribution is nothing for his current net worth. He still has more than 8,100 contributions to spare.

The attributes of the level 8 seed did not disappoint him.

[Level 8 Killer Willow Seeds: Growth Speed +50%, Growth Cycle Halved, Four Seasons Evergreen, Growth Speed +100%, Growth Cycle Extra Halved, Growth Speed +200%, Wood Density +100%, Immunity to Flame]

The stats that appear above are basically standard for growth rate plants, which roughly provide 10 to 11 times the growth rate. The two attributes that appeared later made Li Quan fall into deep thought.

"Hitting the willow level 7 has the attribute of +100% wood density, if I guessed correctly, this should be similar to the effect of the steel gene. The steel gene can make plants as hard as steel, which should be much greater than a 100% increase in numbers. The attribute of beating the human willow is equivalent to having the bonus of half of the steel gene, and it is not bad to calculate it without some growth speed......"

Wood density is very important for plants, especially for combat plants, and the increase in hardness brought by wood density is equivalent to increasing defense and attack.

"Immunity to flames? Is this the ability that level 8 seeds are going to appear, various elemental resistances? Or is it a separate exception? ”

Li Quan quickly got the answer through the level 8 attribute of the other seeds.

The answer is that almost all plant seeds have a strong stat at level 8, not limited to resistance. Some have greatly increased growth rates, and are more common in plants that have evolved to grow at a faster rate. There are also properties such as lightning resistance, frost resistance and so on.

This inspired him a lot. This means that as the seed level increases, it will gradually increase the number of stat items that are stronger and stronger. His plant army evolves as the system levels increase. With each upgrade of the system, the improvements are immediate.

"Now I know that the system upgrade will not only bring new features and unlock new planes, but also evolve the overall strength of the plant army. It seems that in the future, the focus is still on the pursuit of upgrades, the system is very fair, I provide it with plant samples, and it will return me with stronger strength. ”

As for the plan to join the luxury package of the plant army, he already had a plan in his heart. The only thing that isn't certain is whether the newly acquired crazy genes of the lottery will be used for this.

The pleasant weekend in Hogsmeade passed quickly, and Li Quan returned to Hogwarts with the students. And the situation of beating Liu was finally discovered.

The beating willow is gone!

When all the teachers and students at Hogwarts were surprised to get the news, almost no one knew about the beating willow, and now it was gone, disappearing from its place, and it was said that there was only a deep crater left in its place. This has become an interesting story that students talk about after dinner.

The students find it interesting, but the professors at the school don't.

The beating willow is missing, and the problem is quite serious. Dumbledore personally took a few teachers who had not attended classes to the scene to investigate the situation, and Li Quan happened to be out of class, so he followed.

At the scene of his own crime, he looked around and looked around like no one else, and like the other professors, he had a puzzled expression on his face.

Dumbledore also asked if he had encountered anything unusual when he went to Hogsmeade that day, and Li Quan replied "No, everything is normal". Dumbledore had no idea that he had done it, so he didn't ask.

The professors present all had serious expressions on their faces. Not long ago, there was a tragedy in which a troll invaded the school castle and killed a student (suspected identity), and now it is suddenly discovered that the beater Liu is missing. Strange things happened one after another, and the professors all had an uneasy feeling that something was going on in the shadows.

Snape walked over briskly and said to Dumbledore, "Headmaster, I've searched all around, but I can't find any sign of Beater Willow. ”

Li Quanxin said that the beating willow was submitted to the system world by me, and you can still find it to win.

"Beater Willow has been here for decades, and since I was a child, it was outside the Hogwarts Forbidden Forest. This is the first time I've seen this. Mrs. Hooch said worriedly, looking at the big pit.

"The Beater Willow was planted by Professor Dumbledore himself. I don't think anyone wants to see something like this. Professor Flitwick said.

"Strange thing......" Snape said nonchalantly, glancing at Li Quan.

"Uh-huh!" Li Quan said.

"Hey, I'm here. Look who I brought in! Hagrid's rough voice rang out, and he hurried towards him, followed by a large, stout black dog. Hagrid led the big black dog to the professors, and he patted the big black dog on the head lovingly and said, "It's the teeth, he has the most clever nose." Don't look at him as a coward, but when it comes to tracking, no one does it better than Toothtooth. ”

"Hagrid, then please." Dumbledore walked over and said.

"Don't worry, Professor Dumbledore, find out the reason for the disappearance of the beating willow, and leave it to Yaya!" Hagrid patted his chest and reassured.

"Wang, Wang!" The big black dog wagged its tail and barked flatteringly at the professors.

Dumbledore and the professors both nodded, and now this situation could only rely on teeth.

Li Quan shouted in his heart that Hagrid actually brought his dog. In the original book, the big black dog is particularly timid, but he is also very clever. I can't really find the reason for the disappearance of the beating Liu: him.

"That's not going to work. Later, if the tooth smells in front of me and stops, it will be embarrassing to be unable to speak. ”

Li Quan thought of this, and when Yaya came over to please the professors one by one, he quietly took out a piece of chocolate from the storage space and secretly stuffed it into Yaya's mouth, and then touched Yaya's head.

Yaya wagged his tail at him excitedly. I guess the dog was thinking, "Good man! Delicious! ”

"Come here! Teeth. Hagrid beckoned to him and commanded it. I saw a few "puffs" of my teeth and teeth, and quickly ran to the edge of the big pit left by the willow to hit people, and poked my nose to sniff.

Li Quan didn't know much about it, he only fed Yaya a small piece of chocolate, not sure if it would work. The other professors also looked at the tooth and tooth quietly, waiting to see what the results were.

However, after a while, Yaya suddenly sat down on the ground and stopped moving, and after a while, he fell to the ground again. Hagrid sensed something was wrong and ran over. Li Quan was relieved when he saw this scene.

After a while, Hagrid ran back and said to Dumbledore in a dejected voice, "Tooth doesn't seem to be comfortable." Its nose could no longer search for prey. ”

The others have run out of options. I searched and searched, but I didn't find anything. But fortunately, apart from the loss of the beating willow, there doesn't seem to be anything more serious.

"So be it. Let's go back to school first. I'll investigate this matter slowly later. Dumbledore said.

Even Dumbledore said so, and the others didn't have an opinion. It's actually nothing to lose a beating willow, but it's unknown whether there is something else hidden behind it. Either way, the disappearance of the beating willow, like the trolls that appeared on Christmas Eve, cast a shadow on the professors' hearts. Li Quan was very happy to see that this matter would pass like this, and beating Liu into his hands would be considered to be of full use.

Back at the school castle, Li Quan received good news and bad news.

The bad news is that the Ministry of Magic rejected his application and did not agree to give him the time watch.

The good news is that it can be confirmed that the time watch is currently stored in the Ministry of Magic.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Quan decided to take it himself. Well, in other words, to steal.

He didn't want Dumbledore to get involved in this matter, and if he went to ask Dumbledore to help him intervene, there was a good chance that he would get the time watch from the Ministry of Magic. But how to explain it to Dumbledore takes a lot of tongue and energy. Shrewd as Dumbledore is not something that can be fooled easily.

So, in the end, this matter can only be done by himself.

The third crossing point already has the results of the scan, and it is a place called Westeros. However, he didn't bother to see what was over there, he thought that the most important task now was to get the time watch, and the rest could be talked about later. Since it is unclear if this Westeros plane has anything that can help him travel through time, the original plan will not be changed by the appearance of a third crossing point. After all, unlike Azeroth and the Harry Potter world, he had heard of this place called Westeros for the first time, and he knew very little about it.

"Christmas is coming, and the whole school will be on vacation, and the Ministry of Magic will be closed. Infiltrate the Ministry of Magic, get the time watch, and it's up to you. Li Quan has made up his mind.
