The location of Urkstag prison is very secluded, and the scene inside is very dark and eerie.

"I'll go find a way in first." Shevin whispered to Newt. He then disappeared, bypassing the warden at the door, and into the dark underground tunnels.

The interior of Urkstag Prison is an eeriely dark underground fortress. The prison is cylindrical in shape, spiraling downward around countless circles of corridors, and there are countless openings in the corridors, each of which hangs upside down a prisoner, and next to each prisoner is a lamp that turns on and off.

The corridor surrounds a large, deep sinkhole, from the depths of which creepy beast roars often come from the depths.

Relying on his immunity to physical attacks, Xiwen curiously flew down for some distance.

In the dimly lit pit, a huge scorpion tail tens of feet long could be faintly seen swinging in the darkness.

Suddenly, the scorpion tail flung out and stabbed it into a small hole in the tunnel with lightning speed.

Startled, Xiwen immediately looked up at the hole where the scorpion's tail had pierced him, and saw that the lights had been extinguished.

With the prisoner's desperate screams, Scorpion Tail grabbed him deep into the pit. Soon there was a tooth-aching gnawing sound and the murmur of a beast......

The cries of the prisoners died down. Subsequently, a corpse with essentially only bones left was thrown into the tunnel above.

"So all the prisoners here are just rations for the monster underneath......" Xiwen looked at the lights that filled the prison, and his mood was extremely shocked.

Each light represents a prisoner, and every light extinguished represents a living person falling into the mouth of a monster!

One can only hope that Theseus is okay.

At this time, a group of small light yellow animals with crab claws and scorpion tails and fierce appearances in the corridor rushed in one direction, looking like they wanted to fight.

"Oh no, Newt!" Xiwen was startled and hurriedly flew in the direction of the tunnel into the prison.

Xiwen floated to the front of the group of critters, trying to save Newt from the vicious critters, but saw a strange scene-

Newt was in an eerie position, spreading his legs and raising his hands at either side of his shoulders in a duckbill shape. And a group of strange creature with crab claws and scorpion tails also raised their crab claws one after another, and "danced" with Newt in the same way......

"What are you doing......" The corners of Xiwen's mouth twitched uncontrollably, and he asked in a strange tone.

"An action that might make arthropod magical creatures less aggressive." Newt looked nervously at the small animals around him and said in a low voice. "Of course, it's the first time I've tried it, and I don't know how it works."

"So what are these animals?" Xiwen looked at the fierce little animals scattered around the corridor with a numb scalp and asked in a low voice. "How can there be so many?"

"They're human-headed sphinage manticores cubs." Newt explained. "The Sphinx is like a crab in that it lays a lot of eggs and hatches at a very high rate. It can produce tens of thousands, if not millions, of small manticores at a time. ”

"The scorpion-tailed scorpion-tailed beast has the head of a man, the body of a lion and the tail of a scorpion. It is just as dangerous as Kemera and just as rare. Newt continued to educate Sivon about the amazing beast, gushing.

"The sphinx moans as they devour their prey; Plus, its skin repels almost all known spells, and the spines on its scorpion tail are so poisonous that wizards who are poked will die instantly! It is precisely because of the danger and rarity of this magical animal that it is difficult for wizards to help them. ”

"The big monster under the pit is the boss of the human-headed sphin-tailed manticore?" Xiwen asked.

"It should be called the Mother Empress of the Scorpion-tailed Beast." Newt corrected earnestly.

While the two were talking, a light went out in the hole next to them.

"No, help me!" The prisoner hanging at the mouth of the hole was shocked, struggling and writhing, but he was still hooked into the pit by the huge scorpion tail in an instant.

Then came a murmur from the deep sinkhole, in response to Newt's explanation - "The human-headed sphinage moans as it devours its prey"!

However, Newt, who had learned the correct knowledge of science, was not happy at all, and even had some shocked expressions on his face.

"How can there be such a big human-headed sphinx manticore?!" Newt said in shock.

"Maybe it's because there's plenty of food." Looking at the corpse that had been thrown into the corridor again, surrounded by a group of scorpion-tailed scorpion-tailed cubs, Xiwen's heart was cold.

"Mr. Strange, we must hurry. Every minute of delay Theseus is one more danger! Newt's expression became very anxious, and he said eagerly to Xiwen.

Shivin nodded silently, and split up with Newt to find Theseus' traces.

……

"Strange, Theseus is here!" Newt shouted out of the corridor in a low voice.

He didn't dare to shout loudly, lest he disturb the giant human-headed sphin-tailed manticore.

Fortunately, the prisoners in the prison did not dare to speak loudly, or the long-term hanging made them lose the strength to speak. So Sivin still heard Newt's voice and drifted towards Newt's place.

Fortunately, Theseus was still hanging intact in a hole in the middle of the prison, and the lights were still on and off.

It should be the reason why he hasn't been transported here for a long time, Theseus is in good shape, and he can even speak easily.

"Are you here to save me?" Theseus asked.

"We're trying to do that." Newt held the lamp in his left hand and untied the ropes from Theseus' feet with his right hand.

Theseus fell to the ground hard.

"Ah, it hurts! I thought you could think of a proper way to put me down. Theseus rubbed his aching shoulder and complained.

"Alright, Mr. Scamander, I think we should get out of here now." Xiwen interrupted the bickering between the two and said.

Newt hesitated, then said to Shivan, "We should have to go back to the entrance, my wand, Pickett and Teddy are still in the cage at the entrance." ”

"The portkey Dumbledore gave me should be there too, we need to get it before we can go back." Theseus added.

"The portkey isn't a big problem, but Pickett and Teddy have to get it back."

Xiwen thought for a moment, then turned to look at Newt and asked, "When you came in, did you notice how many people were guarding the entrance to the prison?" ”

"There are a lot of guards out there, but there should be only one warden inside Urkstag." Newt said. "Maybe they don't want to be with these animals either."

"That's fine." Xiwen nodded, waved his hand in a circle, and opened a dimensional door that led to the entrance tunnel......

Then he sees Sniffy Teddy carrying a tree-guarding Robe Pickett, Pickett holding Newt's wand, and the two cuties battling wits with the prison's bearded warden.

Seeing Newt behind the aperture, Teddy and Pickett jumped over the portal and into Newt's arms as if they had found the backbone.

Newt took the wand that Pickett was holding, and with his backhand was a stun spell that knocked the bearded warden unconscious.

"Looks pretty good!" Theseus said with a smile, subconsciously wanting to put his arm around Xiwen's shoulder, and then his arm passed through Xiwen's body......

Theseus had no choice but to pretend to be awkward and laugh as if nothing had happened.

"Things should be over here." Newt said. "Shall we go back with the portkey, then? Or is Strange going to open a portal? ”

Xiwen shook his head, silently turned and floated towards the sinkhole, a golden ring wrapped around his wrist.

"You guys go first." He whispered. "There's one more thing I don't want to do."
