Chapter 369 Snape: I’ll kill you quietly!
Ah, yes, it’s you! Old friend!
When Ted first heard about this thing, he had some guesses.
Once you see the body, you are basically sure.
Now that the name has been identified, there is no need to run away.
The Sinking Devil, the little monster in the Blood Wasteland in the first act of "Diablo 2", is the lowest level demon in purgatory.
There is nothing worth mentioning. The only advantage is that there are a lot of them, and the Sinking Magic Wizard can resurrect these little monsters—their souls are protected by purgatory and will not dissipate.
Ted asked: "How did you kill them? I heard that some of them can resurrect other little monsters."
“Let’s kill those who will be resurrected first.”
The rabbit-eared young man shrugged, "In the beginning, they did cause us a lot of trouble. After killing them for a long time, they all stood up and jumped up and down."
But we quickly discovered these spell-casting monsters, so we just need to kill them first.
“Where’s the body?”
"Burn them! To avoid future troubles! These were the ones who were beaten to death later. If we collect enough, we will burn them together."
"Wise choice!"
Although this may not kill the souls of the fallen demons, it can prevent them from resurrecting. It would be nice to be able to do this in a short period of time.
Ted began to think about it: Is there any explanation for this demon soul? If they are not eliminated, something strange will happen in some strange place, right? !
If you want to eliminate it, how can you eliminate it?
…
"Ted? Hermione?! Are you there?" Ron's broken voice could be heard from far away.
If there were a bear in this mountain, the blind man would be so frightened that he would have nightmares.
“Stop shouting!” Ansu landed on Ron’s shoulder from the tree, “Keep going forward, it’s not far away.”
After speaking, Ansu turned to look at Harry, Malfoy, and Ginny. "Long time no see, Harry, and Draco and Anne~" He bowed slightly and saluted in a very gentlemanly manner.
Harry: "Ha, hello Ansu!"
Malfoy is more polite, his aristocratic demeanor is quite in place, and he bows in return in a very standard way.
Anne raised her hand and shook it. She was still relatively reserved when Neville was not around. Just seeing Neville makes me more excited.
The four of them met in Diagon Alley and came together.
As for Neville, it will probably take some time. I don't know if the banquet over there is over.
They soon arrived at the entrance of the cave under the mountain wall. It had been almost an hour since Ted and Hermione arrived.
A simple inward fortification has been built at the entrance of the evil cave, consisting of a wooden barrier and a low stone wall. Ted formed a formation to strengthen it and cast a spell. That's enough!
Ted was also idle, and built two simple watchtowers on the left and right sides of the cave entrance. On the one hand, he could observe the surrounding situation, and on the other hand, he could support the defense of the cave entrance from a high position.
Hmm, upgrade the arrow tower~
Hmm~ Not bad, it has a tower defense flavor!
At this time, two demi-human teams that entered the cave to explore had retreated. One team was just a little embarrassed and had gone through several fierce battles.
There were two wounded in the other team. One of them had a flesh wound, which was not a big problem. The other was injured in the heart and had to be carried out. It is said that he was punched away by a huge orangutan-like beast.
Ted had a healing potion in his hand and drank a bottle directly to stabilize the injury and then sent someone back to the village. He won't be able to fight for a while.
The two teams that retreated included the head of Niujiao Village and the catwoman.
Ted asked the two about the situation in the cave - it was dark, needed lighting, there were many forks, the terrain was up and down, and there were many dead ends.
There are many skeletons and zombies in the cave, as well as many weird and huge beasts, as well as the spiny guinea pigs that Ted encountered on the road.
"The area inside is too big. We divided our troops into three groups to conduct a simple exploration, but we only walked out for about half an hour before we could no longer continue. The number of monsters was increasing, so we had to exit."
As he spoke, the two began to compare the paths drawn by their respective teams. Ted used magic to merge the two drawings into one. It felt like they had only explored a not too large area.
Ron on the other side was a little worried: "Jerry hasn't come back yet, will he be okay?"
“No.” Ted shook his head.
Jerry was originally good at sneaking and exploring in the dark, and he used to often wander around school in the middle of the night.
Later, Ted got the training method of the power of shadow and gave it to Jerry.
Since then, Jerry has been elusive, as if living in a shadow, coming and going as he pleases, and the magic rat never comes back.
No matter how dangerous the cave was, Jerry would have no problem escaping.
Sure enough, after another forty minutes, Jerry and Xueli poked their heads out of the hole in a furtive manner.
“Ted? Ron?! Are you all here?!” Jerry was a little excited.
Ted: "Well, here we are. Sydney, long time no see."
Ron on one side crossed his arms and raised his neck, "If I don't come, I'm afraid you'll die in this cave. You can't even level a small cave! It depends on Uncle Ron!"
Ted smiled and said: "Uncle Ron, although the cave is wide, it is only three or four meters high. Your Unit 1 cannot be released. I wonder if you have brought the Little Bear Mecha with you?"
Ron: Damn it! What did you say I was here for? !
Ted asked Jerry about the situation in the Evil Cave.
As expected of having met Ted, Jerry took out the information he had recorded from the small space bag in his arms.
First, there are monsters like skeletons and zombies, and then there are some things that corrupt humans? And a three-meter-tall muscular gorilla beast...
He also discovered a strange altar-like thing.
“Those altars are made of different materials, some are stone, some are wood, and they are all engraved with strange and unseen magic words. I tried touching them, and I can get different enhancements within a certain period of time! It’s amazing!”
“However, after Xue Li and I explored most of the cave, we found that there was another downward passage, so we retreated.”
Jerry is still very stable, but the first level is already quite troublesome. The main problem is the environment. There are too many people in the cave to move around, and it is dark and the vision is limited.
When there is no way to deal with the first level, it is really unnecessary and too risky to rush to explore the lower level.
Now that Ted is here, Jerry's confidence is restored.
Ted thought about it for a while and found that dealing with this evil cave was actually not a big problem and not difficult. It's just a matter of time.
But there is a very important issue, which is the issue of the resurrection of the fallen demons.
If there really are immortal souls, and people like myself are simply wiped out physically, there will definitely be trouble later.
Besides, soul! What a wonderful subject!
In the past, let alone humans, if you used magical animals to conduct soul experiments, it was definitely taboo. Quite taboo.
After Ted obtained the "Book of Sealings: Remains", there has been little progress in research on the corpse seal because he did not dare to touch the soul.
But now, so much material! Totally legal and reasonable!
I am doing good things for the world!
Oh my god, what a rare opportunity!
“Let’s do this.” He said, “In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, I plan to build a temporary Utopia here and cover the mountain with a magical virtual projection to avoid any mistakes.”
The friends all said yes and thought Ted’s idea was sound. Even if there is any danger in the cave, with the protection of Utopia, there will be no problem. There is no need to worry about casualties. Hermione was the only one who looked at Ted with some suspicion. She always felt that with Ted's temperament, this would not be such a big deal. Although those monsters were disgusting, they were not powerful.
So he must have other purposes!
Ted began to take out various equipment and materials from the space bag, and began to draw an alchemy circle around the mountain.
When the first step of work was almost completed, someone else came.
The demi-human archer on sentry duty on the arrow tower was frightened - why did he not seem to be as alert as he should have been and just watched him approaching?
By this time, Snape had already arrived at the gate of the temporary camp.
He is still the same, with a pig-kidney face that is elongated and gloomy as if dripping water, and his hair is long but smooth~
“Epiphany~Harry Potter, I hope Dumbledore didn’t ask me to sacrifice my precious time to play house with you!”
Ron hid behind his sister, making various faces in anger.
“Ronald Weasley, do you have a face cramp?!”
"No! No professor. I'm fine, I'm fine." Ron was shocked!
I'm hiding behind Ginny, can this old bat see me?
Everyone felt that Snape was still the same Snape, only Ted felt that it was different.
Snape feels even more unfathomable now.
Ted carefully probed, and Snape immediately turned his head sharply, but only saw Ted joking with Hermione. He didn't pay attention and continued to observe the entrance of the evil cave.
Ted saw the appraisal results, the good guy is level 19!
Snape is actually thinking of ways to break through to the legendary realm!
I am Cao! Okay, you can make progress so quickly without making any noise? !
Sijiao, you really have great potential!
Snape walked into the circle of fortifications, and with just a flick of the sleeves of his wizard robe, a large amount of black smoke poured out, and then dispersed into the cave like thousands of small snakes.
After about four or five minutes, Snape's eyes refocused.
He said: "You didn't choose to rush in like a giant monster before I arrived, which at least shows that your minds are not full of water."
"There are many monsters here, and the situation is somewhat special..."
With that said, he walked to the side, raised a clay platform with his hand, took out various materials, a crucible, and an alcohol lamp, and began to prepare the potion.
Ted shrugged, "Let's go on!"
The temporary Utopia network only needs to connect to the Leyline Magic Network, which is not a complicated step.
With this step accomplished, Ted can make Utopia come to reality and envelope the entire evil cave.
At that time, all souls and resurrected beings will be exposed under your nose!
I want to see what your secret is~ Hahahaha!
…
Snape is indeed a master of potions, and his method of preparing potions is perfectly natural.
Ginny on the other side didn’t understand the setup of Utopia, so she watched him dispense medicine, thinking he was opening a small stove. As a result, she couldn’t understand a step, and even couldn’t keep up with her eyes!
After watching it for a while, afterimages appeared in front of my eyes!
Here, Ted and the others have finally built their temporary Utopia and are waiting for "loading".
Snape also prepared the potion over there, a large flask as big as a human head!
A puff of light green smoke is lingering at the mouth of the bottle, and it can even change its shape!
Snape picked up the large flask. The thing probably weighed seven or eight pounds, but he didn't put any effort into it. He shook it gently as if he were holding a straw, and then nodded with satisfaction.
Seeing him turn around: "What are you waiting for? Go, enter the cave and kill those monsters. Don't waste time!"
Harry and the others were shocked: What did you say? Are you a professor asking us students to kill monsters? ! are you human? !
Snape slowly poured the potion he prepared on the ground and said dissatisfied: "What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for me to give you the potion?"
The green magic potion fell to the ground, and began to spread rapidly around as if it were alive, forming a large area of green traces on the ground, dyeing the dark red and smelly land green.
To be honest, this scene looks a bit disgusting, and it looks like: I am a dark wizard and I don’t do good things.
The demi-humans on one side stayed away and looked at Snape with suspicious eyes.
No wonder there are always people who wrongly accuse him, he really doesn’t look like a good person!
Snape was sent by Dumbledore to deal with the alien magic infecting the earth. Do you still expect to help clear away the monsters?
Snape: Don't bother me with such trivial matters! Don’t you have long hands? Or did you leave your wand at home?
“Let’s go! Go in and fight the monsters.” Ted led his friends towards the evil cave.
Ron muttered: "What do you think you asked him to do?"
Ted: “Be bold and take the blame!”
Everyone: As expected of you, Ted!
Ron looked at his sister again: "Ginny, how about you stay outside?"
Ginny raised her eyebrows: "Why? My Charms scores are very good! I can fight!"
Hermione took Ginny's hand and smiled: "That's not what I meant. The main reason is to keep you outside the cave to meet Neville who comes later. You don't want Snape to wait for Neville here, do you?"
Ginny thought, "Okay. I'll wait for Neville here."
Harry silently gave Hermione a thumbs up: "Hermione, you are so mature now!"
Hermione smiled slightly and moved her blond hair around her ears: I am an adult after all~
…
With the current strength of our friends, those monsters are no match.
Hermione summoned dozens of fist-sized light **** to explore the path ahead, illuminating the dark cave even brighter than the synagogue. No more scary feeling at all.
As for those skeletons and zombies, they were knocked down casually from a distance of more than ten meters.
Everyone even has to take turns to practice their own spells, otherwise they won’t get enough points.
The more insidious ones are those spiny-haired guinea pigs hiding in dark corners. They are very good at sneak attacks. But it was no use in front of Ted.
Besides, everyone is wearing armor spells, ice shields, etc., so they are not afraid of this simple sneak attack.
Ted didn't get excited until he encountered a group of about twenty fallen demons.
Let your friends hide far away and try it out yourself.
The first was a repel spell, which directly knocked a Sinking Demon away, causing blood to spurt out in mid-air. He would die after falling to the ground and being whipped twice.
But the other fallen demons were not afraid. Seeing that Ted was the only one, they raised their weapons and rushed over screaming.
And a Sinking Demon wizard in the distance started waving the weird staff in his hand and mumbling. For about ten seconds, the dead Sinking Demon suddenly twitched and turned over and sat up! Live!
Ted waved a magic spell and raised a stone wall to block the fallen demons.
I began to carefully analyze the Utopia data. Even Parker, who was far away in the secret room of Hogwarts, began to concentrate his computing power and began to analyze the data.
Ted's eyes glowed blue, almost like flashlights.
“There is indeed a soul!” Ted discovered something unusual!
When the Sinking Demon is killed and resurrected, there are data abnormalities and special magic power fluctuations.
“Is the substance made of this special magic power the magic power?”
Ted fired another magic spell and killed a Sinking Demon.
Then, through Utopia, the substance suspected to be the soul of the fallen demon was directly deducted and transferred away.
Sure enough, the Sinking Demon Wizard started to dance, but the body of the Sinking Demon didn't move for a long time!
Ha, it seems to be of some use! Interesting!
