Chapter 365: The Brave Are Fearless

Thinking of this, eight thick tentacles emerged from behind Xie Ling, swaying and flipping as they rushed towards the man-faced scorpion-tailed lion.

The tentacles that could normally bind any enemy were now like paper in front of the man-faced scorpion-tailed lion's extremely strong physical strength, and were torn into pieces by its claws in an instant.

But the entanglement of the tentacles finally bought Xie Ling a lot of time.

At the same time when all the tentacles were severed, Xie Ling's transformation spell was completed -

Xie Ling created his own magic of illusion—gods and Buddhas all over the sky!
One hundred Xie Lings appeared at the same time, filling the cave. The most amazing thing was that each Xie Ling that appeared was surrounded by a protective shield that had been cast previously.

The man-faced scorpion-tailed lion was immediately troubled. It looked to the left and sniffed to the right, trying to identify Xie Ling's true identity.

Finally, it gave up this futile attempt. It puffed up its chest again and roared loudly, trying to use a range of sonic attacks to eliminate these illusory clones at once.

This trick really worked. Under the powerful sound waves, the phantom clones were shattered into pieces one by one and dissipated.

However, the Manticore was also in a desperate situation because of this.

"Flying Sword Wadiwasi!" The long-lost pure silver dagger had now turned into a long sword. It was shot out by Xie Ling's catapulting spell and pierced into the only flaw of the man-faced scorpion-tailed lion at lightning speed - its open bloody mouth.

The flying sword pierced into the mouth of the man-faced scorpion-tailed lion, then pierced through the back of its head and out.

The roar stopped abruptly.

The man-faced scorpion-tailed lion showed a look of unwillingness on its face and fell to the ground, staggering.

Xie Ling wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand. He had to admit that it was a tough battle.

If he didn't have the two treasures, the Guardian Ring and the Pure Silver Dagger, it would be hard to say who would win or lose.

He walked forward cautiously, supporting himself on the ground with his feet, and pulled out the stuck flying sword with great force. Blood splattered all over him. Fortunately, the Supreme Wizard's robe had the function of not being stained with blood, so Xie Ling did not end up in such a miserable state with blood all over his body.

Like the basilisk, the manticore is a very rare monster with very rare traces. This manticore, which has existed for thousands of years, is no less valuable than the Slytherin basilisk that was killed by Schelling.

Now, it's time to reap the spoils.

Xie Ling activated the "Invincible Spell" on the pure silver dagger, and slowly harvested the valuable parts of the man-faced scorpion-tailed lion's body one by one and put them into the suitcase space. These were extremely valuable alchemy and potion materials.

[Material obtained from the corpse of the manticore! ]

There is a hole behind the manticore, and there is a rattling sound coming from it. It should be a group of young manticores.

Schelling couldn't help but wonder how Hagrid found the Manticore, which was so rare and precious, and used it to mate with the Fire Crab, eventually giving birth to the Exploding-Tailed Skrewt species.

It seems that a certain manticore living in this cave escaped after reaching adulthood and ran into Hagrid, who tamed it. Well, we should remind Silver Fang and the others that their wolf pack has already subdued the eight-eyed spiders, but they still have to be careful of the manticores that are as powerful as them.

The danger of the Forbidden Forest cannot be underestimated. Even Schelling finds it difficult to predict what other dangerous monsters are hidden in it.

In order to reduce the difficulty for Silver Fang and the others, Xie Ling chose to pack up half of the manticore cubs in the cave and take them away - they would be temporarily stored in the suitcase space, but as they grew up, they would have to find another suitable place to be placed. Otherwise, these extremely aggressive manticores would be very dangerous to the young wizards of the Sleeping Dragon Society who often visited the suitcase space.

[Obtained from the Manticore cub! 】

Then, Schelling began a careful search in the cave.

The Chamber of Secrets inheritance of Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin is so complicated. There is no reason why Gryffindor's inheritance is just to give the heir the corpse of a manticore.

After spending a lot of time and effort, Xie Ling finally found ancient Cornish words on an inconspicuous stone, which read "The brave are fearless."

Xie Ling followed what was written on the text and read out in ancient Cornelian, and a stone door suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Pushing open the stone door, there is a secret room behind, but this time there are no dangerous monsters or traps in the secret room. The four walls of the secret room are filled with stories about the four founders of Hogwarts who founded this magic school, all the way to Slytherin's later departure due to disagreements with their ideas.

It also includes many secrets that are not recorded in "Hogwarts: A History", such as the fact that the cold Slytherin actually has body odor, and the arrogant Ravenclaw is actually a bit narcissistic, etc., which greatly satisfied Schelling's archaeological curiosity.

In the center of the secret room stood a simple altar. On the altar was a pair of black metal arm guards, which were faintly golden in color and had lifelike lion heads carved on them, with their bloody mouths wide open and roaring. Xie Lin, who was knowledgeable about the value of things, immediately recognized that they were made of a very precious metal - black gold.

This technique of forging black gold is a secret that only fairies know.

The goblins have been the representatives of forging technology since ancient times. The most famous "Sword of the Brave" of Godric Gryffindor was forged by the goblin king Ranok I in the Middle Ages with pure mithril.

It now appears that the Sword of Valor was not the only item that King Ranok I crafted for Godric Gryffindor.

Xie Ling walked towards the pair of metal arm guards. Before he got close, he didn't expect that the metal arm guards suddenly let out a loud lion roar. A translucent lion-shaped shadow that looked exactly like the lion on the arm guards suddenly appeared in mid-air.

"Chosen candidate, welcome to Gryffindor's Chamber of Secrets."

Uh. This scene seems familiar.
Shaylin had had a similar experience in Ravenclaw's Chamber of Secrets, so he was not surprised. He did not show any surprise on his face. Instead, he said calmly, "Hello, Senior Lion. I am a fourth-year student at Hogwarts - Shaylin Malfoy."

"Haha. I know you. The Sorting Hat told me about you. You are from Slytherin, right?"

Sherin said softly, "Yes, but I think of myself more as a Hogwarts student."

The lion-shaped phantom smiled and said, "That's a very Slytherin-style answer, but don't worry, the fact that you can get here means that you have passed the test of Master Gryffindor. No matter what your background or college is, you are the heir of Gryffindor's Chamber of Secrets, and this will not change."

Xie Lin knew that this was a magical creation similar to Aquila, and it was nearly a thousand years old. He did not dare to be disrespectful and said, "Senior, do you mean... I have passed the test?"
