Chapter 397: The Strange Snake Biting the Snake, the Fire of Light!

After seeing all the professors' faces clearly, Lin Xia was a little surprised that she actually saw Professor Lupin among them!

The other friends also saw Professor Lupin. Ron and Harry were a little excited and trembling.

If they hadn't known that they were covered with the invisibility cloak, they would probably want to go over and talk to Professor Lupin.

It's not easy for them!

Harry and Ron can guarantee that all Gryffindor students miss the Defense Against the Dark Arts class taught by Professor Lupin.

Seeing that they were all very excited, Lin Xia was afraid that they would make mistakes, so she simply cast a "covering the sky and the sun" silently.

A wave of magic power came silently, and the other little wizards didn't notice it. Even the professors around didn't realize that someone was casting magic under their noses.

Lin Xia said, "Okay, you can talk now. I cast an anti-eavesdropping spell. The professor can't hear us talking."

Harry immediately said, "When will Professor Lupin come back? Will he be able to take the Defense Against the Dark Arts class tomorrow?"

Ron: "It seems not. I saw Professor Lupin talking to Professor Snape. When did they get so close?"

Draco looked down at his magic watch: "It's only 5 minutes until we reach the point we patrolled yesterday."

While talking, Professor McGonagall suddenly came towards them. Harry and others hurriedly retreated and narrowly brushed past their bodies.

Professor McGonagall said seriously, "Stop all magic. I'll cast a detection spell. Anything with magic fluctuations will be detected."

Ron immediately asked Harry nervously, "Will the invisibility cloak be detected?"

Harry's heart was beating like a drum: "I don't know."

The Weasley twins gave a positive answer.

George said, "Don't worry, the invisibility cloak is called the Deathly Hallows, and it's not that easy to detect."

Fred: "I used many magics to detect it before, but found nothing."

Ron muttered, "How can your detection magic be compared with the professor's?"

George smiled, "Hey, do you remember the Marauder's Map? We learned more spells from it than the professor taught us."

Fred: "Don't underestimate the detection magic above. You have also seen that the Marauder's Map can display the names of all students, professors and outsiders who enter Hogwarts. Even the professor can't do it."

Lin Xia didn't listen to their discussion, and stared at Professor McGonagall intently.

I saw McGonagall waving her wand and said in a sonorous voice: "Everything appears!"

A ray of silver light appeared from the top of her wand.

This spell looks ordinary and does not have the effect of large-scale scanning.

Wherever the wand points, a fan-shaped silver outline will appear, and wherever the outline is illuminated, a silver-white light like grains will be sprinkled.

Lin Xia's eyelids jumped.

This is an advanced detection spell!

It is not for large-scale detection, but for small-scale inspection. Because the scope is narrowed, the result will be more accurate.

Although the invisibility cloak is also an advanced magic item, she is afraid that the invisibility cloak will escape the detection spell, but the things wrapped in the invisibility cloak will not.

Lin Xia hurriedly said: "I will remove the sky-covering and sun-covering spell. You should not make any noise afterwards, and all the magic items on your body should be put into the traceless telescopic ring."

After saying that, Lin Xia removed the spell and quickly threw the magic items on his body into the ring.

The other partners followed suit after hearing this.

After a while, Professor McGonagall's detection magic came to the area where they were.

The little wizards couldn't help holding their breath, feeling like a thief.

They saw that the area where they were was slowly emerging with dots of star-like colors, which was no different from the area that Professor McGonagall had checked before.

But McGonagall obviously stopped in this area, looked carefully, and then moved her wand to the other side.

After all the professors went to the other side, Lin Xia continued to cast the sky-covering spell and said, "It was a close call just now."

Harry agreed, "Professor McGonagall paused just now, I almost thought she found us."

The twins said, "The invisibility cloak is worthy of being one of the Deathly Hallows. Even the advanced detection spell can't detect it."

Ron was amazed: "So, as long as we put on the invisibility cloak, we can go to any corner of Hogwarts."

Lin Xia shook her head: "That's not the case. Professor McGonagall obviously found something just now. Just because she couldn't find it doesn't mean that other professors can't.

Don't forget, Dumbledore is also in the school. If he casts this detection spell, he will definitely be able to find some traces."

Lin Xia is advising them not to think that they can walk sideways with the invisibility cloak.

With Professor McGonagall's previous pause, this time, Lin Xia and the others did not dare to get too close to the professor, and stayed several meters behind the professor.

Draco took out his magic watch again, and looked down at the time from time to time.

I don't know how long it took, but it seemed like only a moment, Draco suddenly said with alertness: "Here it comes."

A rustling sound suddenly came from the corner, and the radiation range of this sound was very large.

They took a few steps forward and felt that the sound was still the same, neither getting louder nor getting smaller. They took a few steps back and it was still the same.

Ron: "No wonder you think it's the sound of rats moving. It sounds exactly like it."

Lin Xia observed the professor's movements and whispered: "The professor is determining the location of the sound, and they cannot determine it immediately."

George: "We observed it yesterday and it will last at least 30 seconds."

Fred suddenly said: "This voice has become weaker!"

Lin Xia observed that the professors were all moving in a certain direction and made a quick decision: "Take a few steps forward, the professor seems to have discovered something."

They followed the professor's footsteps and came to the end of the corridor, but the professor did not look towards the floor, but invariably looked up at the ceiling.

Professor Flitwick waved his wand, and a hole was immediately blown out of the ceiling.

Everyone looked over and saw a blurry object falling from the ceiling and clattering to the floor.

"this……"

Not to mention the students, even the professors were shocked. They actually saw a group of mice and a group of snakes entangled with each other. The mice were biting the scales of the snakes, and the snakes were biting the tails of the rats.

Gnawing is not a rule.

Some of the rats' bodies had been swallowed by the snakes, with only one leg exposed, while some rats swallowed their entire tongues very arrogantly.

They heard the sounds at night, including the scraping of snake scales and the roaring and struggling sounds of rats!

Lin Xia and Draco's expressions were relatively calm, while Harry and others were horrified and took a few steps back in fright.

However, the expressions of the Weasley twins did not change. Lin Xia couldn't help but glance at them, thinking that they might have seen similar scenes more than once.

If it was the first time we met, it would be impossible not to show any nervousness at all.

Ron asked tremblingly: "What kind of monster is this?"

It's normal for snakes to eat mice, but when mice swallow snakes in turn, it's weird no matter how you look at it.

Lin Xia said in a deep voice: "This is the strange object that was born after the world of evil gods and the world of wizards merged with each other. If these strange objects are placed in the world of wizards, they can bewitch the spirit of wizards. If they are placed in the world of evil gods, it is said to be a great tonic. ”

Ron's face looked horrified: "So the school lets us patrol late at night just to find these weird things?"

Draco shook his head: "No, we students are still too reluctant when facing strange objects.

Unless we are senior students who have gone through a series of training to destroy these strange objects, we usually record strange phenomena. "

While they were communicating, the professor also started taking action. Professor McGonagall said with a serious expression:

"It's exactly what we expected, this is a 'biting snake'!

Through the pollution of the world of evil gods, rats develop evil nature and take the initiative to bite snakes. Finally, the new snakes will burst out of the rat's body, forming a strange creature with both a snake head and a rat head!

We have to get rid of it tonight, otherwise once the little wizard encounters it, it will instantly disturb their mental state. "

Professor Snape said indifferently: "The Bite Snake has just begun to be cultivated, and it is not yet able to cause strong interference.

Moreover, it is difficult to successfully cultivate this kind of weird thing. Even if we ignore it, the rat may not be able to complete the snake-eating behavior and die silently. "

McGonagall: "Yes, this is very possible, but this is Hogwarts, and there are so many young wizards. We cannot let them be at any risk."

She said quickly: "The biting snake has just begun to be cultivated and can be eliminated quickly. Let's start eliminating it now!"

In addition to being the Head of Gryffindor and a professor in the college, McGonagall is also the Vice-Principal.

When Dumbledore was away, she was the most powerful person in the school.

She wanted to get rid of it now, and the other professors did not shirk and kept mumbling.

A complex and mysterious magic text was heard, and Harry and the others were stunned. They could actually roughly understand what the magic text was saying!

Some of this magic text is composed of basic magic text. All the words are combined together to express the following meaning:

"Great goddess of light, the light you project breaks through the fog from the shadows, illuminating the earth and competing with the power of the evil god..."

A long spell was uttered, and finally everyone heard the last spell, but it was expressed in popular language——

"Bright Flame!"

A wisp of flames, like the scorching sun, appeared out of thin air. Every little wizard who saw the flames felt their eyes sting, shed tears, and quickly closed their eyes.

But there are also some little wizards who force their eyes open, such as Lin Xia.

Given her physical condition, this level of dazzling light only made her eyes feel a little stinging. She blinked for a few seconds and immediately adapted to the brightness.

She saw that the wizards turned a blind eye to such bright flames and should have been prepared for it.

The professor controlled the flames and landed on the unformed gnawing snake.

The bright flame seems to be in conflict with these strange objects. Once it falls, it does not burn on their surface, but burns from within their bodies!

Flames penetrated from their bodies, and countless bright holes immediately appeared in the biting snakes. If you look closely at these holes, you will see that they are all the burning effect caused by the bright flames!

Even though it is just an unformed biting snake, it already possesses a certain amount of intelligence.

They felt threatened and twisted slowly. Both the snakes and the mice had ferocious expressions. Everyone heard a scream of twisted roar.

It was like the wailing from the hollow of the Eighteenth Layer of Hell!!

Lin Xia reacted immediately. The professor was not affected by these screams and twisted screams. That was because they were used to dealing with strange things and used protective magic at the first time.

They were covered with a layer of light armor composed of bright flames.

The flames on the armor were disturbed by invisible forces and were shaken and twisted left and right, but they did not disappear.

"Armor protection!"

Lin Xia waved the spell and cast a invisible protective barrier in front of all the little wizards.

Because she was not sure how much influence the evil god's whispers would have when the biting snake was destroyed, Lin Xia turned on the effect of the armor to the maximum.

The surging magic power poured out desperately. At this moment, she didn't care whether she would be exposed.

Once infected by the evil god's whispers, it is equivalent to leaving a seed of the evil god in the body, and it will be disturbed by the whispers from time to time, like a ulcer attached to the bone!

Many wizards will not fall into depravity when they are disturbed by the whispers at the beginning. Instead, they will be quietly and unconsciously buried with the seeds of depravity after being wrapped in the whispers for a long time.

"Wake up quickly, don't stare at the biting snake, stare at the bright flame quickly, even if you are crying, you must stare at it!"

Lin Xia shouted angrily, awakening the minds of all the little wizards.

They stared at the bright flame, tears kept flowing down, but they didn't dare to close their eyes.

Lin Xia immediately opened the traceless telescopic ring and took out a few leaves of sobriety from it.

Every time she went to read the forbidden book, she could get a full amount of sobriety leaves, but she could fight against the evil god's whispers with her physique, so she didn't use much.

After accumulating several times, there is also a lot of stock, which can be used by friends this time.

After taking the awakening leaves, the young wizards felt their minds clear.

Because they had been staring at the bright fire for a long time, their eyes gradually became clearer from the initial stinging and tears, as if they had adapted to the bright light of the flame.

After getting rid of the negative state of trance, the young wizards finally heard the screams and roars of the biting snakes.

These roars seemed to be tortured, and just listening to them made people shudder.

Lin Xia protected them and retreated, whispering: "The biting snake is about to be burned, let's leave quickly.

I just used magic, and I'm afraid that the magic fluctuations caused are very strong and the invisibility cloak can't cover it, so let's leave first."

The other young wizards had no objections.

They saw the weird creature being destroyed for the first time, and all their spirits were taken away when the weird creature screamed, and their bodies were out of control.

If Lin Xia hadn't reacted in time, they wouldn't know what would happen now.

The Hufflepuff dormitory was the closest, so they returned to Hufflepuff first.

When Lin Xia left, she took a deep look at the others, and finally her eyes fell on the Weasley twins.

Compared to the panicked reaction of Harry and others, the twins were calmer, and they had obviously experienced something.

Lin Xia said: "Two seniors, please take good care of Harry and the others. If you really can't, stay with them all night. I'm afraid that they will be dragged into nightmares by the evil world when they fall asleep at night."

The Weasley twins did not joke, but said solemnly:

"We will take good care of them!"
