Chapter 182: A Battle Between Animals
Shevin briefly tells Newt the story of the unicorn Sylith, causing him to frown deeply.
"Whoever drinks the blood of a unicorn will be left with only half a life, a cursed life. So only those who have nothing and nothing to lose will risk the disapproval of the wizarding world to prolong their lives with the blood of unicorns. Newt said gloomily.
"It's ridiculous to say that those who dare to do this are cowards who dare not face death."
"So, the dark wizard who killed Cisis's mother chose to drink the blood of a unicorn out of fear of death, right?" Xiwen asked.
"It's very likely, but it certainly doesn't rule out the possibility of using the blood of a unicorn for some kind of magical ritual." Newt explained.
"Actually, I promised Cislie to help her mother get revenge." Xiwen hesitated for a moment, then spoke. "But I also know that it would be wiser for us not to go to the dark wizard now, but to hide quietly and wait for Dumbledore to arrive."
"Don't be in a hurry about revenge." Newt whispered. "Actually, what I want to know now is, why did your wand suddenly react? I remember when you first came here, it didn't move. β
"If the murderer is sensed because of the distance, it means that the dark wizard is approaching us!"
Hearing Newt's analysis, Shevin was shocked!
As if to confirm Newt's guess, a dense cold red light suddenly flashed in the distance. Along with it came a myriad of scrawny, lifeless animals that formed a huge herd.
Blackened tigers, panthers, and jackals walked through the herd with their teeth bared, slowly stepping forward with their sharp claws; Behind the herd, the thin flesh of the black bears did not affect their massive size in the slightest, and every step seemed to bring a shake to the ground.
Among the herd, there are more small animals such as pythons and lynxes, which are also a threat to the two of them, and they cover almost all the space of the dead forest.
What made the hearts of the two of them sink even more was the many eagles, herons and other birds faintly streaked in the air.
All the beasts were pitch black, their eyes glowing a cold red, and they slowly pressed towards Shewin and Newt.
"He's really not just able to control the vines." Newt looked at the many lifeless animals in front of him, and said with an extremely ugly face. "These animals must have been killed, and then the dark wizard used a special spell to make them puppet-like tools to make them do what they want."
"Is it the kind of necromancy that Grindelwald once used?" Xiwen asked in a low voice.
"Not really." Newt shook his head and replied in the same low voice. "But the effect should be more than equal."
"So what are we going to do?" Xiwen asked with a heavy heart. "I'm afraid I can't run away from this situation."
Newt didn't speak, but his hand gripped the snap of the box tightly, and it was obvious that he was also nervous!
At that moment, the huge herd stopped.
A narrow passage slowly cracked through the middle of the herd, and a wizard in tattered robes stepped out of the herd.
The first time she saw the wizard, she was horrified.
His face seemed to be split in half, half normal, only an old, pale, wrinkled face; However, the other half of the face was not humanoid, but more like a hideous skull, with a terrible black flame burning on it!
The hideous-looking wizard walked up to the front of the beasts and slowly opened his mouth, which was half lips and half bones, adding a touch of horror to the eerie scene.
"That freckled-faced wizard, I've been paying attention to you for a long time." He spoke.
His mouth seemed to be exposed to the wind, and his pronunciation was extraordinarily unusual. At the same time, his voice was extremely terrifying, like two pieces of rusty metal constantly rubbing against each other, and like a gust of wind blowing from hell to the world, which made people's scalp tingle.
"No offense, but I'm only here to find a wizard who attacked my friend." Newt forcibly removed his gaze from his face to calm himself down, then asked politely. "My friend is a witch with the blood curse of Maledigus, and she was once attacked in this forest."
"Maledigus Blood Curse?" The hideous-looking wizard let out a low laugh and said hoarsely. "What is the reason for me, I even thought you noticed the situation here. So you've been staring at this place for a month, just because of a Meledigus? β
"If you're talking about that little Asian girl from Maledigues, it's actually my hand. It's a pity that she escaped. He said to Newt in a very frustrating voice. But she fell under another blood spell from me, and the two were superimposed, so she must have lost her humanity, right? β
A demonic laugh came from his mouth, sending a chill to both Shewin and Newt.
"Why are you doing that?" Newtra asked.
At the same time, he quietly carried the suitcase behind his back and opened a snap button.
Seeing Newt's movements, Xiwen also secretly clenched the alchemy sword in his hand.
"Why? Of course, because I can't let you ruin my plans. The hideous-looking wizard said hoarsely. So you, and you, the underage helper you didn't know where to call, don't think you'll be able to get away with it! β
In the next second, the beasts behind him seemed to go crazy, and rushed towards Shiwen and Newt.
At the same time, Newt's suitcase is also vigorously active!
One by one, the huge magical beasts emerged from the chestβa black-and-gray panther with a huge airbag on its neck, a gray-purple horned camel with a huge body and a bulging back, a gray venomous horn with a large sharp horn, and two giant runi snakes with three heads......
In addition, the winged demons in the sky and the manticores that were already standing outside were also ready to rush towards the beasts in front of them.
The magical abilities of these magical beasts are all suppressed by this strange area and cannot be used. But they still have good combat power just because they are strong!
The beasts on both sides soon collided together, struggling to bite, entangle, and wrestle with each other, and the battle was very anxious.
"Xiwen, we need to think of something else!" Newt couldn't bear to see his animals hurt in the battle, and turned his head to look at Sivan and said. "The number of magical beasts in my box is completely unpredominant, and the other side is likely to control all the creatures in this large forest!"
Xiwen glanced at it from a distance, and at a glance he could see that the Fantastic Beasts were weak.
Even though they were stronger than their opponents, they would not be able to cope with the many ferocious beasts that surrounded them, and they should not last long. Even on the other side, some blackened beasts had broken through the defense line and rushed in the direction of Xiwen and the others.
"Looks like the only way to try the decapitation plan is to try." Xiwen's eyes gradually became determined.
With a single sword, he slashed off the head of a blackened jackal that was galloping.
In the corpse of the jackal, not a single blood flowed.
