Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

After a while, Mike and the others appeared in a dark and humid environment.

Mike responded quickly as soon as he landed, and a transparent shield silently shrouded them in front of them.

It was entirely Mack's instinctive reaction, but it caused serious distress to someone at the scene.

"My lord! Woohoo! You are finally here... bang... ah!"

Hearing this series of familiar voices, Mike and others lit their wands one after another. When the light reappeared, everyone saw that they were now in a damp and closed grotto, not far from them. At the place, the second or fifth boy of the Avery family was squatting on the ground with his hands over his nose, screaming incessantly.

"Did this guy hit the armor guard?"

Franklin asked with some doubts, but hearing that Mike and the others all had expressions on their faces that were dumbfounded.

Shaking his head expressionlessly, Mike silently unfolded his spiritual power. Through the perspective effect of magic perception, he could clearly perceive that the cave he was in was actually a super-large underground space transfer station. , With this cave as the center, there are a lot of small roads leading to various places, which can make Mike worried. You must know that they are racing against time now, and they have no time to explore this cave at all.

But just when Mike and others were in trouble, a strange thing silently appeared in Mike's perception.

"Fuchsia!"

Almost instinctively, Mike shot a fuchsia shot in the direction of the thing.

Mike's spell flew very fast, and the naked eye couldn't see any trajectory at all, and hit the enemy almost as soon as the spell was uttered.

Franklin and Benjamin also realized that someone was invading, and the two of them held up their wands that kept shining brightly and slowly approached the enemy's direction, and it was not until they saw the real face of the hanging enemy that they finally relaxed. breathed.

"Mike, it's just an ant, but this ant is a bit strange. He's different from the soldier ants and worker ants we've seen before. He actually has wings!" Benjamin reported what he saw, but he said Halfway through, he suddenly became excited, "Wait, Mike! His behavior is weird, he seems to be signing with us!"

Hearing that Mike's expression became a little weird, he asked with certainty:

"Are you kidding me?"

"No! I swear he's gesturing. Damn, does anyone here know sign language?"

Sign language, such a very small language, is naturally not known to Mike and others, but Benjamin's words still aroused Mike's curiosity. He and Arthur strode over, and sure enough, they saw a black and shiny one. And the huge ants with wings on their backs are being dumped.

His situation was very strange, he neither struggled nor intended to attack Mike and others.

He was just hanging there quietly, using the pair of slender tentacles on the top of his head and the pair of forelimbs on his abdomen to keep gesturing something.

Seeing this, Mike and the others, you look at me, and I look at you, all at a loss.

In the end, Mike pulled the Erwuzi who was still covering his nose on the ground, pointed at the ant and said:

"Do you understand?"

"Uh, this... this he seems to be..."

"get out!"

Kicking away the second-fifth boy who obviously didn't understand but wanted to make up some information to fool himself, Mike decided to use the stupidest method.

"The golden bell falls."

As the curse was chanted, the flying ants in the air fell to the ground with a thud.

Benjamin and others on the side raised their wands and aimed them at him. As long as he had the slightest sign of wanting to attack, what awaited him would be a brutal death.

It's just that the ant was obviously different. After landing, he slowly stood up and knelt down on one knee to Mike, and then got up.

Nodding at Mike, he pointed to a dark passage in the cave.

"He is... show us the way again?"

Arthur said in disbelief, until now he still can't accept that a mere ant can have such a high level of wisdom.

Franklin was obviously not as hypocritical as he was. He stared straight at the ant, but his body was slowly approaching Mike and said:

"Should we trust him?"

Facing Franklin's question, Mike was silent.

He looked at the face of the flying ant, whose expressionless face was covered with carapace, and the big dark black eyes that reflected light, and finally said:

"Let's go with him, we don't know the right way now anyway."

As soon as the voice fell, Mike took the lead and walked towards the passage pointed by the ant.

And Benjamin and others behind him also followed after seeing this.

No way, Mike is their boss. Although they still feel that something is not right in their hearts, since their boss has spoken, he can only follow.

The ant saw that Mike was walking in the direction he pointed, and patted his paws excitedly, then flapped his wings and came to the front of Mike, and began to lead the way for Mike.

Under his leadership, Mike and the others turned one corner after another, and passed one fork after another.

During this period, Mike left a unique magic mark on each fork. If they didn't do this, it is estimated that they would not be able to get out in this life due to the complexity of this underground passage.

I don't know how long it took, until Mike felt a little impatient, a brand new cave finally appeared in front of everyone.

Unlike the previous darkness, this cave is very bright, and the light source that brings light here is the many glowing mushrooms that grow wildly on the cave walls. The light emitted by these mushrooms is not very bright, but the countless mushrooms are combined in Together they light up the entire cave.

But the most striking thing in the entire cave is not the glowing mushrooms, but a huge figure in the deepest part of the cave!

It was a huge ant that was more than ten meters high and almost reached the top of the cave. Her abdomen was extremely huge, occupying most of her entire body, and the snow-white abdomen was still glowing under the pale light around her. A strange luster, like jade.

The front end of her body is not much different from a normal ant except that it is too huge. The pair of huge but blunt giant claws are open and close together, which makes people feel an inexplicable heart palpitation.

Mike recognized her true identity almost as soon as he saw her - the ant queen!

In front of this super-large ant queen, there is also a human wearing a windbreaker.

The human's mood seemed a little unstable, and he was waving his arms and roaring at the queen ant.

After arriving at the cave, the flying ant that led Mike and others silently came to a shadow not far from the queen.

A large number of worker ants, soldier ants and flying ants are densely gathered there.

Mike looked closely, and saw that there was a loophole-shaped device installed on the top of the cave far from the shadow, from which snow-white mushroom residues were constantly falling, and the job of the worker ants was to remove these mushroom residues. Collected as food for the queen.

'The funnel should lead directly to the huge mushroom residue pool on the first floor of the ant factory, and this cave should also be underground in the ant factory! ’

Having reached this conclusion, Mike quickly withdrew his gaze, and then he raised his hand and quickly made two tactical gestures.

"Sneak, attack."

Soon, Mike and the others disappeared in place, entered the invisible state and walked in the direction of the human wizard.

Along the way, Mike and the others encountered a large number of ants lying on their backs. They originally planned to go around, but the rare flying ants seemed to have some kind of keen ability to break the concealment, and they commanded the moment Mike and others approached. Make way for other ants.

Seeing this, Mike and the others did not hesitate, and followed the road that the ants gave up to reach the man's back.

...

"Lilith, I tell you, it's no good to be right with us, we have at least a hundred ways to make you die without knowing how! So now, immediately, send your ants to me immediately Attack those intruders!"

Inside the cave, the human wizard looked extremely angry, waving his arms desperately, roaring at the huge monster above his head.

However, there was no response to his roar. The huge monster just looked at him so quietly, the vibrating tentacles and the weird black light in his eyes made him have a strange feeling that the other party was laughing at him.

This made him even more angry, and he took out his wand from his arms and pointed it sharply at the monster above his head.

However, at this moment, a strange voice came from behind him.

"Good evening, Mr. Avery."

The human wizard's expression changed greatly, and he turned around and wanted to attack backwards.

However, it's too late.

"Except your weapons!" "Fuchsia!"

Two magic spells were fired from Franklin and Benjamin's wands at the same time, hitting the wizard one left and one right, causing him to be thrown up and the wands to fly out.

Seeing this, the pair of antennae of the queen ant above his head shook faster, as if she was gloating at the moment.

Without any hesitation, after subduing the human wizard, Mike immediately pointed his wand at the ant queen above everyone's heads.

This behavior caused all the ants around to riot, and they swarmed in screaming, but they didn't dare to attack Mike and others.

As for the queen ant, when Mike's wand was pointed at her, she froze as if she had been cast a petrification spell, and the pair of tentacles above her head stopped shaking.

The scene was eerily quiet, and at this moment, a voice suddenly rose in Mike's heart.

"Respected wizard, please don't hurt me, we are friends."

This is a very gentle and young female voice, and it seems to have some kind of magic power. It not only penetrates the Occlumency built by Mike and directly transmits it to Mike's brain, but also seems to have a certain ability to soothe people's hearts. Mike felt a sense of peace for no reason.

Mike felt something in his heart, looked at the huge ant queen above his head and said:

"Are you talking?"

"Yes, my friend."

"I don't think we are friends." Mike said teasingly, his wand still pointing at the queen ant, "After all, this is the first time we meet."

"Oh, this really makes me so sad, I thought we were already friends." A humane flash of sadness flashed in the eyes of the huge queen ant, and then she twisted her head and said, "But it doesn't matter. , I don't think it's too late for us to get to know each other, and I believe you will be willing to be friends with me, after all, I have given you a lot of help."

Hearing that, Mike shook his head inexplicably and said:

"You mean the flying ant that showed us the way? I admit he saved me some trouble, but only a little. If you want to be my friend, it's not enough."

"I noticed that you used 'he' to call my bodyguard just now. It's a good sign of our friendly exchanges. It shows that you are a good person. I like it very much."

The queen ant seemed to be really happy. She waved her tentacles happily, and the mouthparts continued to make squeaking sounds, and the surrounding ants all quieted down after hearing the sound, and slowly faded away. .

However, Mike was unmoved and still stood up straight.

"Well, powerful wizard, although you may not have noticed it, we have been helping you all the time. Don't you feel strange? Why is the defense of this secret realm so weak, and the wizards don't have it? Put up any outposts and instead all gather in that building above us?

The reason is simple, that's not necessary at all. Because the brains of every ant in this secret realm are linked to me, I can clearly perceive everything they see. This is equivalent to all ants being my eyes. As long as an intruder enters, I will notify the wizard upstairs as soon as possible, and at the same time mobilize all my children to attack the intruder.

Remember the worker ant you met when you first came in? I've actually discovered you since then, but I didn't do anything but let the kid lead you to your destination. Don't you think it's such a big help? "

After carefully chewing the words of the queen ant, Mike nodded thoughtfully, and then chuckled:

"It's a big help, I admit. But what about that? Like I said at the beginning, even with your help, it's just going to cost us more time to win. That's it. Besides, the reason why you will help us is mainly because you want to use our hands to get rid of your masters, the Avery family? After all, their attitude towards you is not very good."

As soon as these words came out, the lively antennae on the top of the queen ant's head froze again, and the surrounding ants also gathered again, and the dense rustling sound made the hair stand up!
