Chapter 402 The action begins
Ryan and Hermione climbed to the top of the mountain along the previously scouted route and looked down the mountain. The scene in front of them proved that they had reached the place.
This is a mountain basin surrounded by mountains. The area of the basin is not small, and there is even a small mountain lake on the basin that can provide water. There are several bonfires at the foot of the mountain, about the size of a normal Boy Scout campfire. But compared with the shadows that were six or seven meters high and hill-like, these bonfires seemed much smaller.
Are they giants? Ryan and Hermione were lying in a small pit on the top of the mountain at this time, wearing camouflage nets and holding low-light night vision binoculars to look down. It looks so ugly!
Lane agreed with Hermione that these giants looked heavier than an elephant and had skin as rough as rhino hide. Their heads were round balls covered with curled, thick and dirty hair. The facial features are roughly cut out from a large stone ball. The stubby nose was almost shapeless, the mouth was slanted, full of grotesque yellow teeth the size of half a brick; the eyes were cloudy brown-green, small by giant standards. Their ugly heads grew directly over their shoulders, with barely a neck in between.
Damn them! Ryan scolded after carefully observing the giant's camp.
What happened. Hermione turned her head to look at Ryan, who was lying beside her. He found that Ryan's face was very ugly now, as if he was suppressing huge anger.
Look at their pot. Ryan said in a low voice. Hermione aimed at the cauldron on a bonfire with her telescope, and after taking a closer look, let out a suppressed exclamation. Because it was a human hand that was turned up by the wooden stick.
Hagrid never said that. No one ever told me that giants can eat people. Hermione looked at Ryan in shock and said.
In the past, they may only occasionally eat some Muggles who accidentally broke into the valley, but it seems that after the arrival of the Death Eaters, these giants are more evil than before, and they must have forgotten the painful lesson they failed to teach them last time. , awaken the power of evil within.
Lane said and pointed to a small cave on the other side of the cliff, I feel like there are at least 20 people in there, but there are only two magical reactions. It is likely that the Muggles the Death Eaters caught from nowhere gave them to those Giants to arouse their bloodthirsty character. Those Death Eaters don't think giants are their allies. In their eyes, giants are just filthy monsters. Allied with them is just to use their fighting power to give us Trouble. In this case, they will definitely use various methods to make the giants more brutal and savage.
After the two people moved to the other side of the valley facing the cave, they confirmed their inference through the telescope: McNeil in a black robe was sitting at the entrance of the cave with his wand in his hand. Some iron cages, some empty, some with people. Those in the cages were supposed to be Muggles, judging by their clothes.
What shall we do? Hermione asked. There are too many people on the other side, and there are only two of us.
Drink this first. Ryan took out a bottle of bright red potion. Don't think about going to sleep tonight, we now need to figure out where these guys are going and come up with a plan of action.
After two hours of observation, they finally discovered a weakness in each other. That is, the third Death Eater on the periphery has very little contact with other people. If it is knocked out first, it will not be worried about others finding it for at least a day or two.
The hidden Death Eater looked cautious,
He hollowed out the trunk of a large tree that was several meters above the ground, and hid in the middle. He used the Vanishing Charm to dispose of the excavated wood, and finally covered the bark back in place. In this way, in a short period of time, no one can find out that there is a person hiding in the tree. At the same time, from the small hole in the bark, we could just monitor the top of the cave where the two Death Eaters were staying.
Around this tree, the Death Eater also set up a lot of defensive magic and surveillance magic, completely turning the area into a very good fortification.
The reason Ryan was able to spot this guy was because such a tree was very abrupt under the perception of natural magic. Just like a light in the dark night. And the reason why the Death Eater left such a big loophole is naturally because there has been no wizard who has mastered natural magic in Britain for hundreds of years, and of course he will not take this aspect into account.
You stay here to monitor the movement of the giant below. Use your ring to notify me of anything. I'll deal with the Death Eater hiding in the dark first. Ryan explained to Hermione and climbed out backwards. Observation point, I didn't stand up until the back of the tree and climbed to the tree to leave.
Good luck! Hermione said in a voice that only she could hear after watching Ryan leave, then raised her telescope and continued to stare at the giants below and the cave opposite.
Ryan jumped quickly on the branches in the forest, and didn't stop until he was more than ten meters away from the tree where the Death Eaters were hiding. Because he felt the surrounding magic defense.
Let me see. Ryan took out a purple crystal ball and made several gestures towards it, and many runes were quickly displayed on the crystal ball.
Peace guard, full protection, enemy traps. It seems that the magic used by this Death Eater is also very normal - what is this? Ryan suddenly found that the crystal ball showed a magic that he did not know before.
Soul, perception, shock wave, will any intelligent creature get a shock on the soul when it approaches? This magic is quite new. It seems that the guy hiding in the tree is an attack wizard who is good at soul. Ryan thought about it from the space bag Take out a few spells for soul defense to bless yourself. After that, he began to crack the surrounding defenses and magic.
Every time a magic is done, the rune representing that magic on the crystal ball disappears. Until the last rune disappeared after 15 minutes, Ryan checked his equipment and jumped out.
After coming to the tree where the man was hiding, Ryan touched the tree under him and communicated with the tree quietly. Soon he figured out the specific hiding location of the Death Eaters: the guy was now leaning against the tree hole. Sitting on the wall, looking around through the small hole in the movable bark.
Leaning against the tree, that's easy to handle. Ryan smiled when he found this, and then took out the enemy fencing sword he got from the Lord of the Rings world last time and walked over to the one above the Death Eater leaning on. on a branch.
Now—do it. Death Eaters were human after all, and the moment he felt the guy in the tree hole bow his head to drink water. Ryan, who had been standing on the branch with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, and then jumped from the branch on his head and feet.
The wind whistled past his ears, and the earth rushed toward his face. But Lane's brain was still running fast and calmly.
1, 2, do it. After counting two numbers in his heart, Ryan, who was sure that he had reached the position, slammed the sword in his hand into the trunk of the tree. This magic sword forged by the elf successfully penetrated the 20cm thick wood and a layer of magic defense under the control of Ryan. It penetrated directly from the other side of the wood and plunged into the neck of the Death Eater. After that, the sword tip went directly from the guy's throat. came out.
The Death Eaters were killed on the spot. After all, even if the wizard's vitality was stronger than that of Muggles, the neck bones and the nerves in them would still die on the spot when all the nerves inside were cut off in an instant.
It was too late to say that, and at the moment when the sword stabbed in, Ryan immediately let go and turned somersaults in the air to adjust his posture, and then landed on his feet steadily and rolled to dissipate the impact.
Soon he stood up again, holding his wand and aiming vigilantly at the part of the tree trunk where the enemy was. But the expected counterattack did not come.
After using life magic to perceive that the person inside was indeed dead, Ryan directly eliminated the trap under the tree and retrieved his sword, and then removed the bark.
Amycus Caro. After picking up the corpse's chin with the tip of his sword, Ryan recognized the identity of the Death Eater he killed. As one of ten Death Eaters who escaped from prison, Lane had seen his picture in the newspaper before. This can also explain why the surrounding defenses are very general, because this person was also known for his simple brain before, but he was more capable and extremely cruel. It is very likely that he would not have arranged those complex defenses.
The first goal has been achieved, and the surrounding area has been cleaned up. The next task is to deal with those core issues. Ryan thought about packing up the spoils, and hurried to meet Hermione.
