A Certain Magical Hogwarts

Chapter 688 Avada Kedavra

Hermione slowly walked into the maze.

The tall hedges cast dark shadows on the path, and it was so dark that the path was almost invisible.

She didn't use magic to illuminate her surroundings. In the darkness, the light was like the most conspicuous target.

However, Hermione always carries a small storage room with her.

She pulled a bottle of night vision solution from the safety watch.

This potion, made from hellwart, golden carrot, and fluorite, can restore normal vision in the dark.

The good thing about potions is that you can do whatever you want.

She donned an invisibility cloak and walked straight in a certain direction.

After walking about fifty meters, I could see in the distance that it was a dead end.

Hermione continued walking towards the alley.

Suddenly, the wall began to writhe, and wispy, delicate vines, like tiny green snakes, coiled towards her.

The devil's web resembled a swarm of mayflies, densely packed and awe-inspiring.

She raised her wand, and a burst of fire shot into the vines, causing them to pause abruptly and retreat.

A gap was visible in the wall.

The maze has many hidden passages, all of which are blocked by certain things or guarded by magical creatures.

Choosing to take a detour is certainly safer, but it will take a much longer route.

Hermione definitely won't take a detour!

She passed through the gap, followed the route she had practiced countless times, repelled several waves of attacks, crossed the edge area, and arrived at the middle area.

As you delve deeper into the labyrinth, the danger posed by the magical creatures increases.

She walked to a fork in the road, took out a golden whistle, and blew it softly.

The whistle didn't emit a sharp whistle, but rather a hissing sound, like that of a basilisk.

After two minutes of silence, the wall trembled, and five eight-eyed giant spiders, each the size of a small car, scurried over the wall.

They all exuded a sense of fear upon seeing Hermione.

As one of the tyrants of the Forbidden Forest, the Octopoda has had an exceptionally difficult few years.

Their natural enemy is the basilisk, and they have almost no ability to resist it.

That year, Tom used the Basilisk to threaten the old spider Aragog, driving away the Forbidden Forest creatures to attack Hogwarts.

William got a basilisk from Tom and went even further, getting into the business of smuggling eight-eyed giant spiders.

Whether it's expensive venom, high-end ingredients, magical materials... the entire opium trade in the South is monopolized by... sorry, the entire British business of the eight-eyed giant spider is monopolized by Akali's Mysterious Shop.

William also used the eight-eyed giant spider as his mount when entering and leaving the Forbidden Forest.

He's practically a tyrant at Hogwarts!

Hermione always went on nighttime outings with William, and naturally learned how to control the eight-eyed spider.

That golden whistle is an alchemical artifact crafted by William. It contains the basilisk's voice and can summon an eight-eyed giant spider.

Hagrid's maze obstacles would definitely include the eight-eyed giant spider.

With an eight-eyed giant spider as a carriage, only a fool would try to get through the levels step by step.

True whales (players who spend real money) always rely on driving (in-game purchases) to get ahead!

Furong clearly thought so too.

She knocked out one of Durmstrang's students who attacked her, then pulled out a bottle of oat whiskey infused with dragon's blood.

This was obtained from William.

She wanted to do what he did last year and summon the divine talisman horse.

Autumn is also looking for a mount.

Instead of heading towards the center of the maze, she took a longer route and ran to the other side.

Louie recently left his little nest and was placed in the third level by Hagrid.

As her beloved pet, Qiu believed that with Lu Wei protecting her, they would definitely reach the destination quickly.

Not convinced? Then we'll warn you with Cerberus.

Each warrior is overcoming challenges in their own way.

However, not all young wizards are big spenders; some are extremely unlucky.

Marcus Flint, the chimpanzee captain of Slytherin, is a prime example of someone with terrible luck.

He quickened his pace, and as he turned a corner, he saw... a fire dragon.

The fire dragon was seven or eight meters long, crouching low, its fierce yellow eyes fixed on him.

—Romanian horned dinosaur!

The fire dragon is exactly the same as the one in the first level.

It violently twisted its spiky tail, leaving a cratered trail several meters long on the hard ground.

Upon seeing the fire dragon, Marcus was struck dumb, his face turning deathly pale.

His entire body began to tremble violently and uncontrollably.

The fire dragon slowly approached, but instead of breathing flames, it stuck out its tongue and licked Marcus's face hard.

He immediately fainted.

The fire dragon disappeared, turning into a Boggart who stared blankly at Marcus.

Malfoy was the only one still standing there. He hadn't even headed towards the center of the maze!

Before the competition began, Snape gave him a small bottle of Felix Felicis and told him that only by drinking it would the third event be safe.

Snape believed that Malfoy had no chance of winning the championship. Training was a waste of time; he might as well drink some Felix Felicis.

Once Malfoy entered the maze, he couldn't wait to drink it.

And then... he didn't go any further into the maze.

A gut feeling told him that staying put was the safest option!

In other words, once he gets inside, no amount of luck can protect him.

Damn it, is this Felix Felicis expired?

Malfoy was still worried about the quality of Felix Ferulic, while Cedric, in the distance, also felt he needed some luck.

He encountered trouble.

Big trouble!

They had walked less than 500 meters when a dozen magical creatures appeared.

Strange, are there so many animals in the maze?

Left with no other choice, he had to change his original route and head in the other direction.

Then, he encountered Hagrid's Blast-tailed Snail.

Now, only two of the blasting snails remain.

The daughter, Gou Shengzi, is still with William, being kept and exploited by him, while the son has been put into the maze by Hagrid.

It was enormous, measuring four meters long, and looked like a giant scorpion with long stingers coiled on its back and thick armor.

Cedric pointed his wand at it.

He collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

The spell hit the shell of the blasting snail, bounced back, and slammed into the wall.

The blasting snail spewed out a burst of flame and flew towards him.

Cedric quickly dodged backward.

He must subdue it. This frizzy-tailed snail is a good means of transportation.

William used it to make scooters.

Cedric suddenly twitched his ears, as if he had heard some scream.

The voice sounded familiar, like... Ron.

Cedric hesitated for only a moment, then immediately turned around, abandoned the blasting snail, and ran towards the direction from which the sound came.

He stopped at the intersection of the two roads, searching for Ron's trail.

Although Ron was a Gryffindor, both he and Ron were students at Hogwarts, and he was also Ron's twin brother.

Cedric had no reason to stand by and watch someone die!

After walking along the path for a few minutes, he suddenly stopped. A sound came from a road next to him.

"What are you trying to do?" Ron shouted. "What exactly do you want?"

Then, Cedric heard Krum shout.

"Extremely painful!"

The air was instantly filled with Ron's screams.

Cedric gripped his wand tightly and ran wildly down the road, trying to find a gap to squeeze through, but he couldn't find one. He then cast a Shattering Charm.

The effect was not good; it only burned a small hole in the hedge.

Cedric transformed into a husky and crawled into the hole. He then transformed back into human form and ran wildly down the road.

He finally reached the corner, looked to his right, and saw Ron lying on the ground convulsing, with Krum looking down at him.

Ron and Krum simultaneously raised their wands, aiming them at each other.

"Dark Light Crossbow Bolts!"

"Avada Kedavra!"

The light flashed by.
