Chapter 370 On-site Investigation and the Patil Sisters' Explanation
"Have you reported this news to Dumbledore?" Yang Tian asked curiously.
"Not yet. I don't know if this is a big deal or not. After all, if you can solve it, there's no need to bother Dumbledore." Hagrid scratched his head and said honestly.
Well, actually there is nothing wrong with this statement. The big boss usually appears at the end.
"Come on, Hagrid, take me to the scene." Yang Tian, who had figured it out, said with a smile.
……
Soon, the two arrived at the scene. To be honest, this location was not far from the territory of the eight-eyed giant spider. The silent and dark blood pool swamp was like a pool of stagnant water, and no ferocious fangs could be seen.
After walking around the blood pool swamp for three times, Yang Tian did not find anything wrong. But he still did not dare to take risks easily, and after many attempts, Yang Tian finally could not sit still.
The next moment, he controlled the Somersault Cloud to slowly approach, and took out a transparent glass container from the white jade ring, ready to extract some blood pool samples.
However, the moment the container came into contact with the scarlet liquid, the glass began to melt slowly, as if corroded by strong acid, and quickly turned into a pool of transparent liquid.
This made Yang Tian frown slightly, secretly surprised. Then, he took out another bronze container, but the result was the same.
Yang Tian still didn't believe it. In the following time, various containers made of ceramics, crystals, silver, etc. were taken out one by one, but in the end, they could not avoid the fate of being melted.
Suddenly, Yang Tian remembered what Hagrid had just reported, and immediately took out a container carved from the bones of an alien beast. Sure enough, he succeeded! The bone container was not damaged at all!
Finally, Yang Tian succeeded in collecting the blood, and he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then, he slowly walked along the path the black wizard had taken, trying to find any clues of his whereabouts. Unfortunately, he failed quickly, after all, he was not a tracking expert like Wu Chi.
"Oh, I don't know how the task that grandpa asked them to track down Durmstrang is going. After this time, they must be transferred back. Otherwise, it will be too inconvenient." Yang Tian thought secretly in his heart.
After struggling for half a day, Yang Tian really couldn't find any more useful clues. Helplessly, he had to give up.
"There's nothing we can do, Hagrid. You still have to report this matter to Professor Dumbledore. I always feel that this matter is not simple." Yang Tian said a little disappointedly: "Tell Professor Dumbledore that it would be best to arrange for the professors to take turns patrolling the Forbidden Forest as before, and be prepared to provide support at any time."
Hagrid nodded. He also felt that this blood pool swamp was too weird. After thinking for a while, he asked quickly, "Aren't you going with me?"
Yang Tian shook his head: "I won't go for the time being. I have to go get some information now. I believe they must know more than me."
Hagrid was slightly stunned and asked, "Who?"
Yang Tian smiled mysteriously, "You'll know when the time comes."
......
After exhorting each other for a few more words, the two left in a hurry...
Inside the wish-granting house, all the friends looked at Yang Tian with shocked eyes.
"The thorn tree! The bishacha! The blood sacrifice! 'Chakora'! Are you kidding us?" Parvati screamed in disbelief.
Yang Tian remained silent and did not speak, but took out the promotional poster of thorn fruit that Hagrid gave him from his white jade ring.
"Asshole! There are thorn fruits in the forbidden forest?" Padma's face became extremely gloomy, and her anger was evident in her words: "Then what is the point of all the efforts made by our Indian sects before? We have destroyed all the thorn fruit trees in the country!"
"I understand how you feel now, Padma, but you must stay calm now!" Yang Tian comforted her softly, "There is currently no conclusive evidence that there are thorn berries in the Forbidden Forest. Hagrid has already conducted a carpet search of the Forbidden Forest, and there should be nothing missed. But I don't understand how the news of the existence of thorn berries in the Forbidden Forest spread? And why are they so sure?"
"In fact, what you should pay more attention to now is the blood swamp." After calming down a little, Padma said worriedly.
Yang Tian was puzzled when he heard this: "What does this mean?"
"Well, I have to start from the beginning. Let me put it this way. After you told me all the information you have so far, I am almost 100% sure that the dark wizard who appeared this time is from Tuxin's religion."
Seeing that everyone seemed to be hesitant to talk, Padma hurriedly explained: "I never thought that there would be Tushin cultists in Britain, so I never seriously told you some of their secrets. Remember what I told you before? Tushin is recognized as a cult by all Indian sects. The reason why they are called a cult, in addition to distorted doctrines, large-scale massacres, and Bishezha incense, is their method of attack, blood sacrifice!" At the end, the Patil sisters shuddered at the same time.
"Blood sacrifice?" Hannah asked back, somewhat confused.
"That's right. Unlike our orthodox Indian sects that like to use soul attacks, all of their attack methods are related to blood sacrifice. Old people, babies, men, women, magical animals... As long as they are alive, they can be used for blood sacrifice. And the blood sacrifice effect produced by each creature is completely different." Parvati immediately followed up: "For example, using a dead baby as a sacrifice can absorb half of the blood of the designated enemy. And using a living baby as a sacrifice can drain all the blood and flesh of the designated enemy."
"Isn't that a bit too exaggerated?" Penelope remained calm. "If what you said is true, then fighting against them would mean death, right?"
"That's not an exaggeration, Senior Sister." Padma replied immediately: "If you are not prepared at all, the result after being hit will definitely be as I said. But it is also a kind of spell after all! If you cast a spell to resist when the enemy performs a blood sacrifice, it will inevitably consume a part of the blood sacrifice energy. Of course, if your spell is strong enough, it can also completely offset the blood sacrifice energy. However, the blood sacrifice energy with blood as the guide is more difficult to deal with and more domineering than the spell energy."
The group of friends finally understood the true meaning of the blood sacrifice. It turned out that the blood sacrifice was not an unsolvable force, but just a special spell, a spell based on blood...
