Chapter 369 Snape: I will kill you quietly!

Ah, yes, it's you! Old friend!

When Ted first heard about this thing, he had some guesses.

Once we saw the body, we were basically sure.

Now that the name has been identified, there is no escape.

The Fallen is a small monster in the Blood Wasteland in Act I of Diablo 2 and the lowest level demon in Purgatory.

There is nothing worth mentioning. The only advantage is that there are many of them, and the Fallen Demon Wizards can resurrect these little monsters - their souls are protected by Purgatory and will not dissipate.

Ted asked, "How did you kill them? I heard that some of them can resurrect other little monsters."

"Let's kill those that will be resurrected first."

The rabbit-eared youth shrugged, "In the beginning, they did cause us a lot of trouble. After killing for a long time, they all turned over and jumped up and down."

But we soon discovered these spellcasting monsters and just killed them first.

"Where's the body?"

"Burn them! To prevent future troubles! These few were killed later, and when we have enough bodies, we'll burn them all together."

"Wise choice!"

Although this may not be able to kill the souls of the fallen demons, it can prevent them from resurrecting. It is good enough to be able to do this in a short period of time.

Ted began to wonder: Is there any explanation for this demon soul? If it cannot be destroyed, will some strange things happen in some strange place? !

If you want to eliminate it, how do you do it?
……

"Ted? Hermione?! Are you there?" Ron's hoarse voice could be heard from a distance.

If there were a blind bear in this mountain, he would be scared and have nightmares.

"Stop shouting!" Ansu fell from the tree onto Ron's shoulders. "Keep going forward. It's not far away."

After Anzu finished speaking, he turned to look at Harry, Malfoy, and Ginny, "Long time no see, Harry, and Draco and Anne~" He bowed slightly and saluted in a very gentlemanly manner.

Harley: "Hello, Ansu!"

Malfoy was more polite, his aristocratic demeanor was quite present, and he bowed in a very standard way in return.

Ginny raised her hand and shook it. She was more reserved when Neville was not around, but she would get more excited when she saw Neville.

The four of them met in Diagon Alley and then came here together.

As for Neville, it will probably take some time. I don't know if his party is over yet.

They soon arrived at the cave entrance under the mountain wall. It had been nearly an hour since Ted and Hermione arrived.

A simple inward defense had been built at the entrance of the evil cave, with wooden chevaux de frise and a low stone wall. Ted had strengthened it with a formation and cast a spell. It was enough!
Ted had nothing to do, so he built two simple watchtowers on the left and right sides of the cave entrance. On the one hand, he could observe the surrounding situation, and on the other hand, he could provide support for the defense of the cave entrance from a high vantage point.

Well, upgrade the arrow tower~
Hmm~ Not bad, it has some tower defense flavor!

At this time, two of the demihuman teams that entered the cave to explore had retreated. One team was just a little embarrassed and had gone through several fierce battles.

The other team had two wounded soldiers, one of whom was only injured superficially, no serious problem, but the other was injured in the lungs and was carried out. It was said that he was knocked away by a giant gorilla-like beast.

Ted had a healing potion in his hand, so he drank a bottle of it, stabilized his injuries, and then had someone send him back to the village. He couldn't fight for a short time.

Among the two teams that retreated were the Niu Jiao village chief and the cat woman.

Ted asked the two about the situation in the cave - it was very dark, requiring lighting, there were many forks in the road, the terrain was undulating, and there were many dead ends.

There are many skeleton zombies in the cave, as well as many strange and huge beasts, and the kind of bristly guinea pigs that Ted met on the road.

"The area inside is too large. We split into three groups to conduct a simple exploration, but we only walked for about half an hour before we couldn't go any further. The number of monsters was increasing, so we had to retreat."

As they spoke, the two began to compare the paths drawn by their respective teams. Ted used magic to combine the two drawings into one, and it seemed that they had only explored a relatively small area.

Ron on the side was a little worried: "Jerry hasn't come back yet, is he okay?"

"No." Ted shook his head.

Jerry was originally good at sneaking and exploring in the dark, and he used to often wander around school in the middle of the night.

Later, Ted learned the method of training the power of shadow and gave it to Jerry.

Since then, Jerry has been elusive, as if he lives in the shadows, coming and going freely, and he is hard to find his whereabouts.

No matter how dangerous the cave is, it will be no problem for Jerry to escape.

Sure enough, about forty minutes later, Jerry and Sydney poked their heads out of the cave stealthily.

"Ted? Ron?! You're all here?!" Jerry was a little excited.

Ted: "Well, here we are. Sydney, long time no see."

Ron on the side crossed his arms and raised his neck, "If I hadn't come, I'm afraid you would have died in this cave. You can't even settle a small cave! You still have to rely on Uncle Ron!"

Ted laughed and said, "Uncle Ron, although the cave is wide, it is only three or four meters high. You can't release your Unit-01. I wonder if you brought the Bear Mech with you?"

Ron: Fuck! What the hell am I doing here?!

Ted asks Jerry about what's going on in the evil cave.

As expected of someone who had seen the world with Ted, Jerry took out the information he had recorded from the small space bag in his arms.

First there were monsters like skeleton zombies, and then there were some corrupted humans? And then there were three-meter-tall muscular gorilla monsters...

He also discovered a strange altar-like object.

"The materials of those altars are all different. Some are made of stone, some are made of wood, and they are all engraved with strange magic runes that I have never seen before. I tried touching them, and they can give me different enhancements within a certain period of time! Very powerful!"

“But after Xueli and I explored most of the cave, we found a downward passage, so we retreated.”

Jerry was still very stable. This first level was already quite troublesome. It was mainly due to the environment. There were too many people in the cave and it was difficult to move. In addition, it was dark and the vision was limited.

It is unnecessary and too risky to explore the lower levels when the first level cannot be handled yet.

Now that Ted is here, Jerry has confidence.

Ted thought about it and realized that dealing with this evil cave was not a big problem. It was not difficult. It was just a matter of time.

But there is one very important issue, which is the resurrection of the fallen demons.

If the soul is really immortal, people like us will just be physically eliminated, and there will definitely be trouble later.

Besides, soul! What a wonderful subject!

In the past, even if you used magical animals to conduct soul experiments, let alone humans, it would definitely be a taboo. It was quite taboo.

After Ted obtained the "Book of Seals: Remains", there has been no progress in his research on the Demonic Fate because he is afraid to touch the souls.

But now, so much material! It's completely legal and reasonable!

I am doing good things for the world!

Oh my god, what a rare opportunity!

"Let's put it this way," he said. "To ensure that nothing goes wrong, I plan to build a temporary utopia here and cover the mountain with a virtual projection of magic power to prevent any mistakes."

The friends all agreed, thinking that Ted's idea was safe. Even if there was any danger in the cave, with the protection of Utopia, nothing would go wrong. There was no need to worry about casualties. Only Hermione looked at Ted with some suspicion. She always felt that Ted would not make such a big fuss about such a small matter. Although those monsters were disgusting, they were not very powerful.

So he must have other purposes!
Ted began to take out various equipment and materials from his space bag and started to draw an alchemy array around the mountain.

When the first step was almost completed, someone else came.

From a distance it looked like a slow-moving dark cloud, but it was close in the blink of an eye.

The demihuman archer on guard on the arrow tower was startled - why did he seem to have lost his alertness just now and just watched him approaching?
At this time, Snape had already arrived at the entrance of the temporary camp.

He was still the same, with a long face like a pig's kidney, gloomy as if dripping water, and long but relatively smooth hair~
"Epifani~Harry Potter, I hope Dumbledore is not asking me to sacrifice my precious time playing house with you!"

Ron hid behind his sister, making all kinds of faces in anger.

"Ronald Weasley, do you have a facial cramp?!"

"No! No professor. I'm fine, nothing's wrong." Ron was shocked!

I'm hiding behind Ginny, can this old bat even see me?
Everyone thought Snape was still the same Snape, except Ted.

Snape now feels even more unfathomable.

Ted carefully explored it, and Snape immediately turned around sharply, but he only saw Ted chatting and laughing with Hermione. He didn't care and continued to observe the entrance of the evil cave.

When Ted saw the appraisal result, he was shocked to find that he was at level 19!

This guy Snape is actually trying to break through the legendary realm!
Holy shit! That’s amazing! You made such rapid progress without making any noise?!
It seems that you have great potential!

Snape walked into the circle of fortifications and just flicked the sleeves of his wizard robe. A large amount of black smoke gushed out and then floated into the cave like thousands of small snakes.

After about four or five minutes, Snape's eyes refocused.

He said, "Before I arrived, you didn't choose to rush in like a giant monster. At least it shows that you are not completely stupid."

"There are a lot of monsters here, and the situation is somewhat special..."

As he said that, he walked to the side, waved his hand to raise a clay platform, took out various materials, crucibles, alcohol lamps, and began to prepare the potion.

Ted shrugged, "Let's get on with it!"

The temporary utopia network only needs to be connected to the earth vein magic network, which is not a complicated step.

Once this step is accomplished, Ted will be able to make the utopia come true and cover the entire evil cave.

By then, all the souls and resurrections will be exposed under your noses!

I want to see what your secret is ~wahahaha!

……

Snape was indeed a master of potions, and his method of preparing potions was natural and smooth.

Ginny, who didn't understand the setting of Utopia, just watched him prepare the medicine, thinking he was giving her special treatment. However, she couldn't understand a single step and even her eyes could hardly follow!
After looking for a while, afterimages appeared in front of my eyes!
Here, Ted and his team have finally built the temporary utopia and are waiting for it to be "loaded".

Snape had also prepared the potion, a flask as big as a human head!
A light green smoke was swirling around the mouth of the bottle and it could even change its shape!
Snape picked up the large flask, which must have weighed about 10 to 20 pounds, but he didn't put in any effort. He just lifted it as if it were a straw, shook it gently, and then nodded with satisfaction.

He turned around and said, "What are you waiting for? Go into the cave and kill those monsters. Don't waste time!"

Harley and the others were shocked: What did you say? You are a professor, and you want us students to kill monsters?! Are you human?!

Snape slowly poured the potion he prepared onto the ground, and said unhappily, "What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for me to feed you the medicine?"

The green potion fell to the ground and began to spread rapidly around as if it had life, forming a large green mark on the ground, dyeing the dark red and smelly land green.

To be honest, this scene looks a bit disgusting, and it gives the impression of: I am a dark wizard and I do no good.

The demihumans on the side all hid far away and looked at Snape with suspicion.

No wonder people always wrongly accuse him, he really doesn’t seem like a good person!
Snape was sent by Dumbledore to deal with the alien magic infecting the earth. Do you expect him to help clear the monsters?

Snape: Don't bother me with such trifles! Don't you have hands? Or did you leave your wand at home?

"Let's go! Let's go in and fight monsters." Ted led his friends into the evil cave.

Ron muttered, "Why did you call him here?"

Ted: "To be brave and to take the blame!"

Everyone: It’s you, Ted!

Ron looked at his sister again, "Ginny, why don't you stay outside?"

Ginny raised her eyebrows, "Why? I'm very good at Charms! I can fight!"

Hermione took Ginny's hand and smiled, "That's not what I meant. I mainly wanted you to stay outside the cave to meet Neville who is coming later. You don't want Snape to wait for Neville here, do you?"

Ginny thought, "Okay. I'll wait here for Neville."

Harry silently gave Hermione a thumbs up: "Hermione, you are so mature now!"

Hermione smiled slightly and smoothed her golden hair by her ears: I am an adult after all~
……

With the current strength of our friends, those monsters are no match for us.

Hermione summoned dozens of fist-sized balls of light to scout the way ahead, making the dark cave brighter than the hall. There was no sense of fear at all.

As for those skeleton zombies, they were easily knocked down from a distance of more than ten meters.

Everyone even has to take turns practicing their own spells, otherwise there won't be enough to share.

The more insidious ones were the spiny guinea pigs hiding in the dark corners, which were very good at sneak attacks. But they were useless in front of Ted.

Besides, everyone is wearing Iron Armor Spell, Ice Shield and so on, so they are not afraid of this simple sneak attack.

Ted didn't get excited until he encountered a group of more than twenty Fallen Demons.

Let your friends hide far away and try it yourself.

First, a repulsive spell was cast, which directly knocked a fallen demon flying, and blood spurted out in the air. It fell to the ground and died after two hits.

But the other fallen demons were not afraid. When they saw that Ted was alone, they raised their weapons and rushed over, shouting.

A Fallen Demon wizard in the distance began to wave his strange staff and mutter something. After about ten seconds, the dead Fallen Demon suddenly twitched and turned over and sat up! Alive!
Ted cast a spell and raised a stone wall to block the fallen demons.

He began to carefully analyze the Utopia data. Even Parker, who was far away in the Chamber of Secrets at Hogwarts, began to concentrate his computing power and began to analyze the data.

Ted's eyes were glowing blue, almost like two flashlights.

"There really is a soul!" Ted discovered something unusual!

When the Fallen Demon is killed or resurrected, there are data anomalies and special magic fluctuations.

"Is this special magical substance actually magic?"

Ted cast another spell and killed a demon.

Then, the substance suspected to be the soul of the fallen demon was directly seized through Utopia and transferred away.

Sure enough, the Fallen Demon wizard started to perform some magic tricks, but the Fallen Demon's corpse remained motionless for a long time!
Ha, it seems to be useful! Interesting!
