Chapter 420: Louie and the Manticore
Chapter 420 Lu Wei and the Manticore
Although Kyle said before that he knew where Lu Wei was, in fact he had only been there once, and he was taken there by Hagrid and took a different route.
Now he is in a completely unfamiliar place, and he really doesn't know where the specific location is.
But there are no other ways.
Kyle opened the box, first persuaded the reluctant Norbert to go back, and then put his head in and shouted loudly.
After a while, a Billywig flew out staggeringly.
The Billywig has a very sensitive sense of smell and can even smell the smell of herbs more than ten miles away. Moreover, it has been with Lu Wei for a long time and is already familiar with each other's smell.
It’s just ready to be used now.
This is also the reason why Kyle rejected Aragog's offer to help lead the way...Those big spiders are not trustworthy, and who knows if they will cause any trouble on the road.
As soon as he came out, the little guy started to have fun and flew next to Newt, looking at him curiously with his bright black eyes.
Newt made it feel very comfortable, just like a warm sunflower. It liked that feeling very much. Even if Newt raised his hand towards it, it was not afraid at all. Instead, it naturally fell on the open hand. On the palm of your hand.
“What a well-behaved boy…”
Newt rubbed its belly with his fingers and said with a smile: "I once encountered a Billywig bug, but it was too naughty. It always wanted to run outside and couldn't even call back..."
As he spoke, Newt smiled.
He remembered that Jacob's favorite magical animal was the Billywig.
Because after being stung by a Billywig insect, the whole person will float in the air uncontrollably. Jacob likes that feeling very much, and it will make him feel that he is also a wizard.
It's a pity that he is just a Muggle...well, the most ferocious Muggle, officially certified by the United States Ministry of Magic.
Thinking of this, Newt laughed again.
Looking at Newt who was lost in memories, Kyle did not disturb him, but silently extended his hand.
The Billywig flew back immediately.
“We are going to the three-headed dog.” Kyle whispered, “Can you help us lead the way?”
The little guy nodded, wandered around in a circle, and then flew towards a path on the left.
Kyle and Newt quickly followed.
Lu Wei's location is not far from the Acromantula's depression.
After walking for about ten minutes, Kyle suddenly heard an excited roar.
Then the ground began to vibrate, and Lu Wei ran over from a short distance away, breaking countless branches along the way.
Lu Wei finally stopped in front of Kyle, lowered his head excitedly, and flicked three tongues at Kyle at the same time.
Kyle jerked back and dodged.
Lu Wei’s tongue flicked on the tree next to him, scraping off a layer of bark.
Looking at Kyle's movements, Lu Wei's three heads tilted at the same time, as if he didn't understand why he was hiding.
Obviously Hagrid likes this very much.
How about another try?
Looking at the three-headed dog sticking out its tongue again, Kyle quickly waved his hand to stop him from expressing his joy.
Lu Wei is bigger than before, looking like a hill, and his attacks are not serious.
Kyle is not as resistant to beatings as Hagrid. This tongue will definitely beat him to death.
He stretched out his hand, and Lu Wei immediately lay down, with three heads rushing forward, enjoying Kyle's skillful dog-raising skills.
Until it noticed Newt behind it.
For a moment, Lu Wei's expression became fierce again, but under Kyle's comfort, it did not move.
“Don’t be nervous, kid, we’ve met before, remember?”
Newt walked forward slowly, standing in front of it with his hands spread out. Newt and Lu Wei did meet once when Kyle was in second grade, but with the three-headed dog's mind, it was obvious that he couldn't remember what happened so long ago.
But this doesn't bother Newt.
He gently put his hand on Lu Wei's nose, and scratched its three chins respectively.
After a wave of operations, Lu Wei soon squinted his eyes comfortably and made a humming sound from his mouth.
At this moment, there was a sudden rustling movement in the trees on the right.
Kyle initially thought it was the Acromantula following, but when he turned his head, he realized that this was not the case.
In the bush, a pair of blue eyes were watching them warily. Through the moonlight, you could vaguely see the lion-like body behind the eyes, as well as a long tail with a poisonous needle.
It is a manticore with the body of a manticore and a body of a manticore.
It seemed to have noticed the movement here and came over on its own.
When Kyle looked over, the manticore immediately made a deep voice, "Human, get out of here!"
However, before Kyle could say anything, Lu Wei stopped. He stood up abruptly, and his three heads roared at the manticore at the same time.
The other party was not to be outdone and roared exactly like Lu Wei.
"The most famous thing about manticores is that they have superb language talents." Newt explained beside him: "When this creature was first discovered, because it has a head that looks like a human and can speak They speak human language, so they are defined as "people" just like centaurs, banshees, and vampires.
But later people found that the manticore's character was too violent and difficult to communicate with, so it was removed from the list of "people" in 1269. "
While Newt was speaking, the quarrel between the manticore and Lu Wei became more and more intense. It was obvious that they did not reach a consensus.
So the two hot-tempered guys started fighting over a disagreement.
The surrounding trees suffered an immediate disaster. A large piece was knocked down and crashed to the ground with a rumble, even covering up their roar for a time.
Originally, the manticore was not afraid of the three-headed dog due to its speed advantage and the poisonous stinger on its tail.
But because of the injury to its hind legs, it couldn't run fast at all. Within a few minutes, it was knocked down by Lu Wei and pinned to the ground, and its tail was also stepped on.
“Human, I surrender!”
It looked at Kyle and Newt, "I promise I won't hurt you. Let this idiot let me go."
Kyle raised his eyebrows, "Is it... difficult to communicate?"
“There are exceptions to everything.” Newt laughed: “Not everyone can have a three-headed dog by their side.”
“That’s right.”
Kyle walked over and patted Lu Wei's tail, and then he reluctantly let go of his paws.
The manticore turned around and quickly got up from the ground. At the same time, it took a big step back, staring at Lu Wei, always keeping a relatively safe distance from it.
"Idiot..." it cursed first, and then looked at Kyle, "Humans, you shouldn't be here."
"We don't mean to offend." Newt stepped forward, raising his arms high and low, raising one leg slightly, leaning forward, and stood for a while in a very weird and funny posture.
“Relax, we don’t mean any harm, we just want to help you…”
At Newt’s signal, Kyle also started making gestures in the same way.
Although it was a bit embarrassing, it really worked. Inexplicably, the manticore's eyes were much less wary, and it did not stop them from slowly approaching.
In fact, this is not the first time Kyle has done this kind of thing, but it still feels incredible.
He couldn't figure out how Newt came up with these postures.
