Does he look like a human?
Chapter 594 Does he look like a human?
"Digory, what do you have to say?" Ryan asked with a frown.
"I... I don't know." Cedric took a deep breath and said, "I swear on my wand, I still don't know why Wade did this... I can't judge whether what Miss Amina said is true."
Amina was furious: "You think I'm lying? Do you think I'm cheating? You're talking to me while looking at my face!"
Cedric: “…” He looked away silently.
Well... Amina doesn't seem to be lying, but Wade is my classmate...
Cedric sighed to himself and gripped his wand tightly, ready to strike at any time.
Although there is no hope of winning in a one-on-five situation...
Ryan stretched out his hand to stop Chinatsu Asada who was about to cast a spell, looked at Cedric and said, "Leave, Cedric."
"You go to the other side, and if you are able, you will handle the next situation on your own and return with a golden egg."
If we attack suddenly in this narrow passage, it is likely to result in casualties on our side.
There is the covetous Wade Grey and countless traps in front, and new contestants are constantly pouring in from behind. If they start fighting here without even seeing the golden egg, it will only benefit others.
But it was impossible for everyone to continue traveling with Cedric, otherwise when they met Wade, the person next to them would immediately turn from a helper into a mine lying in wait for them.
So Ryan said again: "Let's not attack each other, please go another way, Cedric."
Furong pursed her lips, Asada Chinatsu had no expression on her face, Di Ge's eyes were filled with an eagerness to attack, and Amina...
She was still in a state of mixed embarrassment and anger, gritting her teeth and her eyes were blazing.
Cedric looked around at everyone, smiled bitterly and said, "Well... I hope you can successfully get the golden egg from Wade."
He slowly walked backwards out of this section of the road, and after turning the corner and being blocked from view by the stone wall, both parties breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
"Let's go." Ryan turned around and said, "Be careful, Weed Grey is an alchemist, there may be some traps waiting for us ahead!"
Suddenly, Chinatsu Asada let out a soft "eh".
"What's wrong?" Furong asked.
"Look at that place..."
Chinatsu Asada pointed at a dark shadow at a fork in the road. It was hanging in the air in a strange posture, like a hung puppet.
Asada Chinatsu said softly: "Does that shadow look like a person?"
……
When Cedric and Ryan and the others were clashing, three more figures appeared near the compass.
The three people from Salem College happened to face the fire dragon at about the same time, so after Abby Williams rushed into the secret room first, she waited patiently for a while and saw the other two being teleported in one after another.
Hope squatted on the ground, shaking his wand and chanting a spell softly. Some interlaced footprints appeared on the ground, emitting a faint fluorescence.
Another contestant, Samuel, bent over with his hands on his knees and looked over. He said, "It looks like most people went into the right channel. There should be five people in the front."
"Choose the right side..." Hope raised his head, looked through the gaps between his hair, and whispered, "Is there anything scary on the left?"
"I don't think so. It should be a coincidence. Because the previous people didn't use the tracking spell like you." Samuel looked up at the red-haired girl and asked, "Abby, what do you think?"
"Go to the left." Abby said decisively. Soon after the three of them entered, they ran into Viktor Krum who was returning. Both of them were stunned for a moment, then quickly drew out their wands and used the Shield Charm at the same time.
Invisible shields condensed in the air, collided, defended for a while, and then dissipated at almost the same time.
Both sides were stunned again.
Seeing that the other party was the same as themselves, their first reaction was defense rather than attack, and they developed a little trust in each other.
Krum was the first to speak: "I only took one golden egg. There should be six or seven more in there. You can go look for the others."
Samuel asked back, “How do I know you’re not lying?”
"That's not necessary," Krum said sternly, "I'm leaving soon, and taking more golden eggs is against the rules."
Samuel was somewhat unwilling to let this person take away the honor of first place. His arm holding the wand was about to move, but was suddenly held down by Abby.
"I believe you are telling the truth." Abby said to her companion, "Let him pass."
This section of the passage was not spacious. Krum was pressed against the wall, while Salem and his two companions were pressed against the other side. The two sides slowly passed each other, and one could even hear the harsh sound of the metal buckles on the leather arm guards scraping against the stone wall.
They separated from each other and continued on their way.
……
“Kill him… Kill him…”
Amina's roar was refracted by the layers of stone walls and turned into a strange whistling sound.
Wade shook his head: "It seems that he was rescued, but is there any need to be so angry?"
The crab puppet beside him waved its claws and made a "click-click" sound to express his approval.
As he spoke, Wade had already solved the last puzzle and got the golden egg hidden in the box.
The insect puppets are light and weak, and even if they find the location of the golden egg, they cannot crack certain mechanisms, so they can only bring Wade to solve it.
By this time, all eight golden eggs on this road had fallen into Wade's pocket.
Wade put the golden egg he needed into his pocket, and randomly transformed a stone platform into something else and piled the remaining seven on it.
This is an empty dungeon of more than 100 square meters, which used to belong to a ghoul. At this moment, not far away, there was the sound of iron chains clanging.
A ghoul with gray skin and sparse hair on its head was dragging an iron chain as it walked back and forth. The pus and rotten flesh on its body gave off a disgusting smell. Its thin arms swung from time to time, and its nails looked very sharp.
Occasionally it stretched its neck and let out a low roar towards the tunnel; occasionally it leaned against the wall and made a humming sound.
Although ghouls are dark creatures with simple minds, they are very dangerous. They often attack travelers in the dark or walk around in cemeteries. They have a strong appetite for human corpses and sometimes capture living people for food.
It was originally a human being, but because of long-term cannibalism and eating corpses, it gradually degenerated into a monster.
Of course, for wizards like Weasley, a ghoul is just a slightly noisy and ugly pet. But for Wade, this guy is a barely useful guard dog.
Amid the noise made by the zombies, Vader slowly set up the crypt and waited for the warriors who wanted to seize the golden egg to step in.
