"Squeak ——!!!"

The sudden visit of Shirako and Aki made these creatures, which were only the size of kittens, panic and want to burrow back into the burrow dug under the tree.

But Shirako had already rushed under the tree, and his front paws struck the nearest sniffer, causing the latter to let out a piercing scream.

The sound was similar to that of a mouse, and to a combination of a cat and a duck, which was very strange.

The rest of the sniffers ran faster, disappearing into the cavern under the tree in the blink of an eye. This made the moment a little unwilling, and he used his claws to dig through the gold coins and dirt on the ground, trying to force them out.

"Moment, stop first!"

Ash rolled down from Shiroko's back and patted her side to stop her digging behavior.

As soon as he saw him, the sniffer who had been trampled under the paws of the white son suddenly stopped screaming and stared at him curiously.

Ash crouched down in front of Shirako, carefully observing the sniffing body's structure.

Sniff is a rodent-like magical creature with a proboscis snout and a whole body covered in fluff, somewhat similar to the platypus.

Like other magical creatures, Sniff has a unique talent of its own – treasure hunting.

They have a special preference for everything that sparkles, whether it's gold coins, gems, or bottles filled with fireflies, glowing lamps, mirrors that reflect light, or even a wand in a wizard's hand that is casting magic.

So despite its docile nature, this magical creature is not a good pet – if you accidentally let a sniffer loose in a city, for example, the next day the news will run the news that all the city's banks and jewelry stores have been robbed, and it was Sniff who started it all.

So normal wizards wouldn't want to get a sniffer, because this creature can tear down their home in a day, and run away with everything shiny in the house.

But as it happens, that's what Ash wants.

If Sniff can't turn Hogwarts upside down, this trip will be considered for nothing.

And Dumbledore would definitely be curious about what he was doing with his sniffing, but it didn't matter, it was meant to be for Dumbledore.

Ash lifted the sniffing hind legs, carefully observed between its legs, and said with a subtle expression:

"Am I lucky or not? It just happened to be a mother. ”

Ash sighed softly:

"It seems that the protection of magical beasts in this era is much greater than it was a hundred years ago, and that's a good thing."

He said, shaking his head and putting Sniff down.

Sniffing didn't run away, but stood upright and looked at Ash, even though the latter had pulled out the bag that had been used to capture magical beasts with the Traceless Stretching Charm on it, it still stood motionless.

And when Ash opened the bag, a huge suction force sucked it straight in.

Ash put away the bag and whispered approvingly:

"Well done."

Bai Zi's eyes were still cold, but this time she took the initiative to lower her head and let Ash touch her head.

Well, it feels really good.

Ash thought for a moment, and pulled out a handful of snacks from his pocket—Kassandra had bought them on the train on the day of school, and because there were too many of them to fit in her pockets, she put them all in Ash.

Ash picked out a pot-shaped cake and brought it to Shiroko's mouth, who swallowed it without hesitation. The soft and fragrant sweet taste instantly filled Baizi's mouth, making her squint her eyes with some enjoyment, this is a delicacy that she has never experienced since she grew up in the Forbidden Forest!

"Whew~" looked at him with extremely aggrieved eyes, so Ash also stuffed a piece for her.

However, judging from the size difference, a piece of cake was not enough to stuff their teeth, so Ash switched to stuffing five pieces at a time. But this also caused his inventory to be depleted faster than expected, and he couldn't hold on for even three minutes under the madness of the two hungry wolves.

"It's gone."

Ash spread his hands at the moment when he looked at him, and said helplessly:

"I'll bring it to you next time."

He didn't expect to encounter such a situation!

However, these 'werewolves' can indeed be cultivated well, unlike the magical beasts he raised before that were mostly not threatening, the combat effectiveness of werewolves is real. Although it is difficult for these werewolves to blend into human society because they cannot transform into human form and cannot perform magic, there are ways to use them that cannot be transformed.

If he had to fight Dumbledore one day, these wolves would be his best helpers.

In order to deal with the problems that may arise, it is necessary to cultivate them well.

"Whew~!!"

Suddenly, there was a rapid howl of wolves in the forest.

Bai Zi, who was being touched by Ai Xu, raised his head and looked in the direction where the voice came from, with a somewhat solemn expression.

Werewolves are hunters of this forbidden forest, but they are also prey to other magical animals.

And the wolves that have lost their head have a hard time dealing with those tricky enemies.

"Is this a distress signal? The wolves have been attacked by other magical animals? ”

Ash frowned and commanded:

"Baizi, you go over and have a look first. In an instant, you take me over! ”

Bai Zi didn't hesitate, glanced at Ash and ran into the forest and disappeared.

And the moment was already lying on the ground, looking at Ash expectantly.

When Ash rode on her, he immediately chased in the direction that Shirako left.

The place where the wolf howl came from was not far from where they were, only a few kilometers.

When Ash and Instant arrived, Shirako was commanding the wolves to barely cope with the troll's attack.

Yes, the attack of the trolls!

Because it's not one or two trolls that are fighting with the wolves in front of you, but a dozen trolls!

Unlike the green-covered forest trolls that Ash had encountered before, these trolls had muddy yellow skin, which is characteristic of river trolls.

Like the forest trolls, the river trolls are just as stupid, but they also have a natural camouflage. Forest Trolls are able to blend in with the surrounding woods, and River Trolls like to hide in the dirt of rivers and attack suddenly—in this regard, they are much more intelligent than Forest Trolls, at least knowing how to sneak attack.

Moreover, river trolls also prefer to live in groups rather than forest trolls who prefer to live alone, and the large number of them happens to make up for their lack of intelligence to a certain extent.

Trolls are stupid, but no one can deny that they are among the best of all magical beasts.

In line with the famous saying: in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is futile.

Judging from the slightly moist fur of these wolves, it is not clear that they should have been attacked by these trolls while drinking water, so they fell into the disadvantage of this group confrontation. After all, although the wolves are far smarter than the trolls, they are far inferior to the trolls in individual strength, and it is difficult to win a head-on conflict, especially if they lose their head wolf.

Ash even saw that several of the giant wolves were already lying on the ground dying, their abdomen completely pitted, and the blood flowing completely stained the ground near them red, and the situation was extremely critical!
