After a few weeks, these fried tail snails had grown a layer of greyish-white, shiny armor-like things.
These armors were covered with hard thorns, gradually covering the whole body.
They looked like a giant scorpion and an elongated crab, and could still spit fire from their tails.
The explosion of fire would push them a few yards in the opposite direction, and would burn the students who were not careful.
Elwyn had secretly examined them. The fried tail snails were very resistant to magic, and their carapace could resist many low-level spells.
These characteristics were inherited from the man-headed lion scorpion tail beast, and they also inherited the man-headed lion scorpion tail beast's aggressiveness.
Speaking of the man-headed lion scorpion tail beast, after a few detailed inquiries, Elwyn finally knew the specific location of the guy that Hagrid had mentioned.
Thinking of the mysterious temple built by the ancient warlocks that was covered in mud, he could not wait to go there and explore.
Whether it was to admire the ancient ruins or to explore the secrets of the evil gods, it was worth a trip there.
There was no time to lose, the sooner the better.
Although there was a dangerous man-headed lion scorpion tail beast guarding there, and it was indeed not a small problem.
But Elwyn had a way to deal with it. He had already learned its habits from Hagrid, and was prepared.
Moreover, with a powerful guy like Keresis, his safety was guaranteed.
Elwyn naturally would not be polite with Keresis. This vampire was very powerful, and they were now allies. Keresis would keep the other party's secret, not expose the fact that he had disguised himself as Moody and infiltrated the Hogwarts, and help Keresis complete the Lord Voldemort's mission.
In return, this guy should help Elwyn deal with a magical animal.
Keresis was a free bodyguard, it would be a waste not to use him.
If it was before they became allies, Elwyn would not have dared to bring a dangerous vampire on an adventure.
He had to be careful of his back when facing dangerous monsters, but now he had no scruples.
However, Elwyn didn't have any scruples now. It wasn't that he believed in the other party's guarantee, but he believed in the power of magic.
After the in-depth communication that day, Elwyn and Keresis signed a magic contract of equal allies.
If he went against the content, Keresis would have to pay a huge price.
On the weekend of the third week of school, Elwyn arrived early at the edge of the Forbidden Forest to wait.
After another half an hour, Moody limped over with the help of his crutches, holding a package in his hand.
He was extremely vigilant. That enchanted eye of his rotated rapidly to ensure that no one was following him.
"Kid, it's best if we don't see each other now!" Moody said gruffly, looking at Elwyn with dissatisfaction.
"Of course, but I think our Defense Against Dark Magic Professor wouldn't mind giving his most outstanding student some extra tutoring after class, right?!" Elwyn said, sizing him up. "Have you brought the things I asked you to bring?"
"It's in here!" Moody said unhappily, shaking the package in his hand. His eyes were drooping, which made his face look even more crooked than usual. "Tutoring after class?! According to the progress of my class, you should be learning how to resist the damned Soul Snatch Curse, not exploring the Forbidden Forest and provoking some man-headed lion scorpion-tailed beast! "
"I can already break this spell. Your progress doesn't suit me, and it's meaningless." Elwyn replied. "Alright, we better hurry up. I've found someone to help us save time."
"What? You found someone else?" He stopped before he could finish his sentence.
He saw Elwyn leading a winged hippogriff beast out from the thicket. It had a leather collar around its neck.
"This is Buckbeak. You guys get to know each other!" Elwyn said casually.
Buckbeak turned its large and pointy head around, glaring angrily at Keresis, who was impersonating Moody, with its orange-yellow eyes.
Ever since Elwyn rescued Buckbeak last semester, Hagrid had kept it around his little house.
As one of the conditions for Buckbeak's acquittal, the Dangerous Creatures Management Committee required Hagrid to ensure that Buckbeak didn't hurt anyone.
Therefore, he kept this winged hippogriff beast by his side.
It was obvious that Hagrid was very willing to do so.
Buckbeak and Elwyn were now very close. Elwyn had ridden it to the Eight-Eyed Spider's territory before.
The swamp in the depths of the Forbidden Forest was very far from here. Elwyn and Keresis couldn't leave the castle for too long to avoid attracting attention.
With Buckbeak's help, it was naturally not a problem. They would arrive in about half an hour.
Under Elwyn's urging, Keresis reluctantly communicated with Buckbeak and sat on its back.
He hadn't taken the compound soup for an hour. As soon as he sat on it, his appearance changed.
The scars on his face gradually disappeared, and his skin became pale and smooth.
His broken nose grew back and shrunk. His long gray hair shortened and turned black.
Suddenly, with a clang, the wooden leg fell to the side, and a real leg grew out.
Then, the magical eyeball jumped out of its socket, and a wine-red real eye took its place.
The magical eyeball fell into Keresis's hand, and it was still spinning around.
He had now returned to the image in Elwyn's memory. His pale and handsome face had a hint of evil.
His eyes were filled with contempt, and his every movement was filled with great power.
"Hurry up!" Keresis urged. "If we're discovered here, then we're too stupid!"
Elwyn hurriedly climbed up, and sat in front of Keresis.
Buckbeak's twelve foot long wings spread out beside them, and flew into the sky.
Its wings constantly flapped, and countless green branches and leaves rapidly retreated backwards. The Hogwarts castle rapidly shrunk.
Buckbeak flew very quickly. After passing through Guangrou's sea of trees, Iven very quickly saw the centaur tribe situated on a hill.
Because it was late at night last time, this was the first time Elwyn saw the centaur tribe in its entirety.
Rows of small wooden houses were arranged neatly together, extending from all directions to the enormous moon temple in the center.
Buckbeak didn't pass through the centaur tribe, there was a mysterious magic protecting it, preventing flying creatures from approaching.
Elwyn knew that this was the effect of the enormous magic engraved at the top of the moon temple.
That magic could absorb the power of the stars, and use it to replenish its magic power, protecting the entire temple.
Buckbeak called out in a low voice, and circled around the centaur tribe. He changed his direction and flew towards the other side of the hill.
Below, the trees became more and more sparse, and in their place was an endless swamp.
The swamp's surface and subsurface soil were excessively moist, and produced many unique wetland and swamp plants.
Although it was still daytime, a thin mist rose from who knows where.
