Chapter 432 Giant Valley

Chapter 432 Giant Valley
August 8, a hidden valley somewhere in the Ural Mountains in eastern Russia.

The north wind was howling, blowing the snow covering the mountaintops all over the sky. Hagrid, Madam Maxime, and Fleur climbed over one mountain after another. The terrain gradually became higher. This place was sparsely populated and covered with ice and snow. Their thick plush boots were covered with fine ice chips. The blush on Hagrid's face caused by the wind never faded from beginning to end.

"Fleur--" Madame Maxime turned and handed Fleur a piece of chocolate. She walked in front of her, and the huge piece of chocolate could block the cold wind. "Eat some, child--it will warm you up."

They brought backpacks cast with the Untraceable Extension Charm, which, in addition to the tents for camping, were filled with food and water. No one could guarantee what would happen when searching for giants in such a mountain without water and food. Hagrid had tried to hunt a rabbit with a bow and arrow yesterday, and of course he succeeded, but it was not every day that one could see such silly rabbits here.

"Thanks……"

Furong took the chocolate and took a bite. The sweet taste melted in her mouth. A warm current spread between her fingers and toes. Her body gained energy to resist the cold. The thick ice and snow under her feet seemed to no longer emit cold air. Furong quickly rubbed her arms with both hands, and the friction made her body gradually warm up.

It had been a month since the three of them left Great Britain. They crossed Poland, where they encountered two crazy trolls and took a lot of effort to get rid of them. Then they crossed Belarus, where Hagrid had a little quarrel with a vampire in a bar in Minsk. They climbed rocks and slept in caves along the way. Hagrid was a rough man, so it was fine. Maxim was a very particular lady, and Fleur was a delicate girl. This kind of life was really hard for them.

However, to Hagrid's great surprise, the two did not complain at all along the way, not even once.

Because before setting off, Dumbledore had warned Hagrid to be careful of the Death Eaters, the three of them were very careful along the way, which may be one of the reasons why their journey was slowed down.

Finally, yesterday evening, Hagrid was able to confirm that they had successfully found the last remaining giant tribe in the world, and had spent the night in a hidden cave above that place, planning to meet the giants early tomorrow morning.

When they heard the good news, both Maxim and Fleur were shocked. However, what they didn't know was that after Hagrid and Maxim fell asleep, Fleur secretly sent a secret message in the bed using a two-way mirror...

Let’s turn the scene back to the present.

The three of them ate something, rested for a while, and walked for a while before they saw a group of huge shadows below.

There were seventy or eighty people, each of them was like a small mountain. Even looking down from the distant mountain, it was still shocking. Furong squinted her eyes and looked at those giants who were almost 25 feet tall. She suddenly felt that even Hagrid or Maxim were like children compared to them.

"That's them..." Hagrid pointed at the seventy or eighty small peaks, his face tense. Even Hagrid would unconsciously become nervous when facing so many giants, especially when he knew they were fierce and aggressive.

It was a depression between four high mountains. Hagrid and his companions walked slowly down the hillside. The closer they got, the bigger the hill-like giant seemed to them. There was a lake beside the depression. An ugly and tall giant was lying lazily beside the lake, with a few dead sheep hanging on the rack in front of him.

When Hagrid and the others arrived at the foot of the mountain, they heard him roaring at the others, and the sound was so loud that it almost broke people's eardrums.

The giant patrolling in the outermost circle discovered Hagrid and the others first. He immediately roared loudly, like a thunder in the sky, which startled all the giants at once. Rumbling sounds echoed one after another in the depression, and hills jumped up and down like collapse.

"Don't be afraid, we are here to give gifts. The one lying there waiting to be fed is Goog. Let's go!" Hagrid said to the other two calmly, and then he walked in front, holding the "Googly Fire" entrusted to him by Dumbledore high, staring at Goog, ignoring the other giants. Goog was lying by the lake. He was twenty-two or twenty-three feet tall, almost as heavy as two bull elephants, with skin like a rhinoceros, and looked at the torch held above his head with interest.

"A gift from Albus Dumbledore to the giant Googly, in his honour," Hagrid said loudly.

The giant Gugge didn't understand what Hagrid said, so he called two giants who knew English to translate for them. After knowing what Guggle Fairy Fire was, there was a commotion in the camp, and the giants' faces showed very excited expressions.

"Albus Dumbledore sent a message asking Goog to talk to the messenger when he brings the gift tomorrow," Hagrid said again.

Gugo seemed very pleased with their gifts, and was about to ask the interpreter to answer for him when the giants started to make a noise again. Another very big giant strode over, shaking the ground.

He had black hair and big black teeth, and wore a necklace of bones around his neck, some of which looked like human bones, and his face looked very unfriendly.

He spoke loudly to Gugo in the giant's language, which sounded a bit like a roar.

Then, they started fighting.

The battle between the giants was very fierce, as if small mountains were moving and colliding with each other, and the noise was so loud that it was unbelievable. Hagrid and his companions saw that the situation was not good and did not want to be affected by the battle of these big guys. When they were about to leave, they suddenly found that they were surrounded by a group of black-robed wizards with hoods covering their faces.

……

Above the snow-capped mountains, in the cave where Hagrid and his two companions spent the night last night.

One after another, swirling whirlpools of colors appeared silently, and one figure after another slowly stepped out of the whirlpools.

"Are all the people here?" Before he finished speaking, Mr. Delacour's expression suddenly changed, because he had heard a loud noise coming from the valley below -

"Hurry, go check it out—" Xie Ling vaguely guessed what was happening and ran towards the cave entrance. The closer he got, the louder the noise became, deafening and making people worry that an avalanche could occur at any time. It was the sound of shouting, roaring, shouting and the sound of weapons clashing. Dozens of giants were fighting in the valley, and the earth seemed to be shaking.

"Fleur may be in danger!" said Mr. Delacour anxiously.

"Look over there!" An adventurer member of the Silver Spear who was responsible for reconnaissance pointed in a direction, where four people in black cloaks could be seen circling in a large circle, waving their wands proudly. The person surrounded in the middle seemed to be Fleur Delacour.

"Sharfu, you and Latifa stay here, everyone else, follow me!" Xielin took the lead and disappeared on the spot by Apparition, and the people who were accompanying him also followed by Apparition one by one, except for Sharfu who looked unhappy. However, she also understood the importance of protecting Latifa. As long as Latifa was there, the survival rate of everyone in this mission could be greatly guaranteed.
