Chapter 431 The Climber (Two in One)
"Should we start from here?" Harry couldn't help but shivered as he looked at the snow-covered mountain road in front of him.
The four brave teams were scattered around the main peak of the Pyrenees. They had to start from their randomly selected routes and finally reach the top of the mountain to get the trophy.
However, although it sounds difficult, Harry actually thinks it is much easier than the maze. At least this time, he just walked along the road... To be honest, Harry has already stepped out of the psychological shadow of the previous maze.
Even dreaming of being in the maze in nightmares really caused serious psychological harm to the child.
"Drink the potion first." Cedric said tremblingly, "I'm already feeling cold." Then, he gently unscrewed the small bottle and poured it down his throat.
"The duration is two hours." Julian looked at the small label on it and said, "It won't take that long from here to the top of the mountain."
"Yeah." Cedric also nodded slightly, he already felt the raging heat flow in his body, even though his skin still felt a little cold, his body already felt hot.
"It's so hot..." Harry muttered and rolled up his sleeves. He didn't expect what Vocka said to be true. He really felt like he was going to sweat now.
"Okay, it's time for us to go." Cedric said, waving his wand: "Luminescence flashes." A little light appeared on the top of the wand, which was particularly eye-catching in the heavy snow.
Seeing him walking ahead, Harry nodded slightly, then drew his snake-scale sword and followed Cedric.
"I don't know how high it is now." Harry looked at the thick fog under the steps and couldn't help being curious.
"It's estimated to be more than 1000 meters?" Cedric guessed, "I don't know how high this mountain is."
"More than 3000 meters." Julian's indifferent voice matched the surrounding heavy snow inexplicably.
"So high?" Harry was startled, he quickly stood up straight, and then stepped on the steps carefully, he didn't want his feet to slip and fall straight away.
After all, with such heavy snow, who knows if Professor Embers can see us.
If Ash knew what he was thinking, he would definitely shake his head slightly and tell him, "Of course I can't see it."
The snow was much bigger than Ash imagined. Even if he was riding a broom, the heavy snow would block his vision. He had to fly very low to vaguely see the three people behind the white snow curtain.
But fortunately, there is no problem with the crystallized anchor points Ash left on the three of them, as long as they can clearly sense the positions of the three of them.
"Paji." Cedric stepped on the steps. This place seems to be a platform, much wider than the previous place, but the visibility is not very good.
As the three of them climbed higher and higher, the visibility around them became lower and lower. They couldn't see each other clearly at all, and could only judge their positions through the faint light emitted by their wands.
"Let's take a break?" Cedric suggested, he was soaked in sweat now, Volka's potion seemed a bit too powerful, he desperately wanted to take a break to reduce the sweat.
"Okay..." Harry also nodded slightly, and then grabbed a pillar next to him.
"Phew..." Harry sat down under the pillar in one breath and said, "I don't know where we are now?"
"There should be some distance." Cedric also leaned against the pillar and said, "After all, we only walked for about half an hour."
He held a pocket watch on his chest, allowing several people to know the time.
Seeing the two boys leaning against the pillar, Julian felt more and more strange... This pillar...why the more you look at it, the more...
"Pfft." Before Julian could speak to remind, the "pillar" that Harry and Cedric were leaning on immediately flew up, causing them both to fall to the ground.
"Oops..." Harry groaned in pain and looked overhead.
The thing there startled him, it was a huge poison horn beast, and the pillar they leaned on was the leg of this poison horn beast.
"It's a poisonous horned beast!" Julian immediately pulled up the two lying on the ground: "Be careful...it might not be in a good mood..."
The Poison Horn Beast is a relatively gentle magical animal. It is quite large and has a horn that can inject explosive toxins. It usually feeds on grass... They live in the grassland environment, and there are some cases of wizards in the mountains. , but obviously, there will definitely not be poisonous horned beasts in this kind of place.
"This poisonous horned beast...it should have been arranged by them..." Julian whispered, "So, it must be in a bad mood in an unfamiliar environment."
"Then let's not provoke it..." Cedric raised his head and vaguely saw the horn of the Poison Horn in the heavy snow.
"If you get pushed by it..." Harry couldn't help but feel a tightness in his butt... It was hard for him to imagine why anyone would find this animal docile.
"Let's move slowly..." Julian whispered, "It would be even better if you all know how to dance with poisonous horned beasts..."
"Poisonhorn Dance?" Harry made a strange expression as he moved.
"That kind of dance is used by poison horned beasts when they court...We can use this dance to lower its vigilance..."
"Slap." Cedric seemed to have kicked a small stone, but the movement was not too loud, but then, the small stone rolled to the edge of the steps, and then rolled down the steps.
"Pa-ta, pa-ta, pa-ta..." The sound of rolling stones spread like sound waves from near to far.
Cedric turned his head to look at Harry and Julian, and muttered, "What the hell..."
"Bang!" There was a loud noise, and the three jumped around almost without time to think, but the platform was much smaller than the three imagined, and they couldn't see the boundary of the platform clearly under the obstruction of the blizzard.
"Crack!" Harry slipped and almost fell directly down the hill, while Cedric stood on the edge of the steps.
The poisonhorn stopped after impact, stomping restlessly on the platform, Harry could even hear it snorting.
But... why didn't it continue to move?
Harry froze for a moment, and then he came to his senses that the poisonhorn saw them too...
The blizzard was getting bigger and bigger, and Harry's shoulders were covered with snowflakes. Obviously, the heavy snow also interfered with the poison horn beast's judgment, and it couldn't see the three of them at all.
"Cedric, Julianne, I feel like it can't see us..." Harry began.
"Then how did it find us just now?" Cedric replied.
"Uh... sound?"
"boom!"
The Poison Horn immediately turned around and rushed towards Harry. Harry jumped to the side instinctively, but even so, the vibration brought by the Poison Horn still made him fall on the ground, and then The whole face was lying on the outside of the platform.
"Merlin on top!" He muttered and turned around, and then saw the body of the Poison Horn close at hand.
The Poison Horn seemed to be very familiar with the size of the platform, and it didn't fall off because of its own recklessness. On the contrary, its front hoof precisely stepped on the edge of the platform, and it was right next to Cedric's face.
"..." Cedric looked at the hooves in front of him and didn't dare to vent his breath. Fortunately, Julian quickly pulled his pants and pulled him out of the dangerous place.
Seeing Julian subconsciously wanting to speak, Cedric quickly reached out and covered his mouth.
Feeling the cold touch on his mouth, Cedric quickly woke up.
We bypass him.
Julian signs for Cedric.
That's right, since the Poison Horned Beast can't see itself and others, then just ignore it and just slip away...
Cedric nodded slightly, he stood up slowly, and then struggled to identify his position in the snowstorm.
Follow me.
Cedric waved at Julian, and then walked around the poison horn beast's ass with his head.
The two slowly walked around the huge body of the poisonous horned beast, and then waited carefully for the poisonous horned beast to turn sideways to make way for a path.
Where is Harry?
Cedric looked around suspiciously, and then he felt someone tug at the bottom of his trousers.
Harry was lying there not making a sound.
Cedric nodded slightly at him, and then pulled Harry up vigorously. At this time, they had bypassed the poison horn beast and came to the edge of the platform. As long as they were careful, they could step up the steps, and immediately the Poison horned beast.
Cedric nodded slightly, and then slowly stepped up the steps. Although it was a bit slippery due to the heavy snow, he still stabilized his body and did not slip.
Come……
He reached out and grabbed Harry, trying to bring Harry up the steps as well.
It's just that Harry's foot stepped on Cedric's footprint, and without snow as a tool to increase friction, Harry slipped directly on the thin ice.
"Bang!" fell to the ground with a bang, and with his swing, Julian was also brought down to the ground by him.
"Boom!" The two had just fallen to the ground, and before they had time to get up, the Poison Horned Beast heard the sound, snorted angrily and rushed towards them.
"Strong armor protection!" Cedric quickly waved his wand to increase the protection for the two.
But the protection could only block the damage but not the impact. Harry and Julian were like two balls and flew out of the iron armor curse.
"Harry, Julian!" Cedric flicked his wand hastily, and his wand threw out a golden thread and pulled at Julian who was closest to him.
He targets Julianne's clothes with the Flying Charm.
He grabbed Julianne's hand and pulled her up the steps.
But Harry's luck was not so good, he flew directly into the snowstorm, and Cedric couldn't see him at all.
"Oops!" Cedric frowned, his eyes trying to find Harry's trace.
"Ah!" Harry didn't feel very good. He fell straight down the mountain after being knocked into the air. Everything around him was as thrilling as he was riding a roller coaster.
"what!"
Harry tried his best to catch something around him, but unfortunately, he could only catch air and snowflakes in the blizzard.
Got it!
Harry could even see a blurry green in front of his eyes. Is this the grassland below the mountain or is he hallucinating? !
The panicked Harry wanted to wave his wand to slow himself down, but he was surprised to find that he didn't know the spell at all.
"This is what happened!"
"Ang!" Suddenly, Harry heard the neighing of a horse in his ear, he froze for a moment and immediately realized that it was Edward's voice.
"Edward, save me!" He shouted the name of the rune horse, and the rune horse seemed to have heard his call for help. Edward flew towards Harry stepping on the golden light, and then caught Harry accurately.
"Crack!" Harry hugged Edward's neck and panted heavily. His back was completely soaked. It was unknown whether it was because of the potion or nervousness. Harry panted heavily, terrified. look around.
"Thanks to you, Edward..." Harry gasped and patted the rune horse's neck.
"Ang! Edward seemed very proud too. It circled in the air and flew towards the mountain with Harry.
"Take me to Cedric and Julian."
Harry was flying into the blizzard when Ash suddenly appeared beside him.
"Harry, you can't let Edward take you directly to the top of the mountain." Ash reminded, "You can use various methods to save yourself, but you can't directly use any flying props instead of going up."
This is also the reason why Ash didn't make a move just now. If he made a move, Harry's qualification for the competition would be disqualified, and he saw the arrival of the rune horse, but because of this, Ash also had to remind Harry that he couldn't Cheating thing.
"I understand Professor!" Harry nodded and patted the rune horse's neck, and the rune horse continued to fly towards the place where he had just fallen.
"Harry, it's Harry!" Cedric's eyes were sharpest, he saw the light of Harry's wand, and also saw the handsome rune horse.
"Edward saved him?" Julian smiled, which was much happier than the professor who saved him.
Harry waved happily at the two of them, then turned over and jumped off the horse.
When he dismounted, he was surprised to find that the poison horned beast had been stunned by Cedric and Julian, and the huge vine was still tied to it, making it unable to move even if it woke up.
"I thought something was going to happen to you..." Cedric hugged Harry and said, "Are you all right?"
"It's okay...it's okay." Harry nodded with a smile, he felt the care and strength from his companions.
"Okay, two big boys..." Julian couldn't help curling her lips when she saw the two hugging: "It's time for us to go."
"Unless you want to freeze to death here..."
"Yeah." Cedric nodded: "Julian is right... the duration of the potion is limited..."
Ash, who was riding a broom, watched the three of them continue on the road. He reached out and patted the rune horse Edward lightly.
"Good job." Ash said casually, "I brought you from Beauxbatons for nothing..."
"Ang!" The rune horse nodded proudly and flew further away.
