My understanding is incredible, I built a floating city in Hogwarts

After obtaining the precious blood of the Sphinx, Levin did not choose to return to the castle, but flew Zhang Qiu to the Forbidden Forest.

"Where is our next destination?"Zhang Qiu couldn't help but asked curiously.

After all, the key material of Sphinx's blood has been obtained. According to common sense, they should return to the castle to start the next step of work.

"A single bloodline of the Sphinx is not enough. Levin said with a grin. The lion's mouth opened and frightened a nearby hippogriff.

"Without testing, I cannot ensure that you will blend perfectly with the Sphinx's blood. Therefore, I plan to find the blood of another magical creature to fuse with the blood of the Sphinx. In this way, no matter how low the fitness level is, it will not be too low."

This method was developed by Levin when he transformed into an alicorn.

After speaking, Levin suddenly adjusted his flying posture, folded his wings slightly, and the whole Chimera dived towards the ground like an arrow.

"This is it."

Soon, Zhang Qiu discovered that Levin took her into the forest, turned around and came to a cave.

"Where is this?"Zhang Qiu looked around, very curious about this place.

"Hagrid's secret base," Levine revealed,"is dedicated to raising those little cuties who are not allowed."

This cave is located near a mountainside. The road leading here is extremely narrow and very secret.

After arriving at the entrance of the cave, Levin changed back to his human form,"Come on, let's go in.""

He took the lead, raised his wand, and a bright ball of light floated out, illuminating the way forward for them. The cave was cold and damp, and there was an unsettling atmosphere in the air. The entrance sloped downwards, like a stepping stone. Entering the abyss of hell, the closer you get, the darker it becomes.

Zhang Qiu unconsciously grasped Levin's wrist, and the tension in his heart continued to rise.

The two of them walked along the long and narrow tunnel, and soon came to the end. A fan A huge wooden door stood in front of them, with a faint light coming from the half-closed door.

Levin pushed the door open, and they entered a spacious cave. The cave was filled with a strong fishy smell, which was nauseating.

Levin immediately After casting the [Head Soaking Curse], the fresh breath surrounded them instantly, dispelling the unpleasant stench. In the center of the cave, a monster as big as a lion was staring at them.

The shape of this monster was strange and terrifying. It seems to be the product of nature's malicious patchwork.

Its head combines the characteristics of human and lion, with huge goat horns protruding from both sides, and the lion's mane surrounds the ferocious face. The lion's torso is covered with hard scales , and a pair of huge bat wings spread out from behind, and the black film cast a shadow on the roof of the cave.

Its tail was as slender as a scorpion, and the tip flashed with a blue poisonous light, which was a deadly stinger. The jagged teeth in its mouth were staggered up and down, as if ready to tear apart any creature that entered its territory at any time.

The sight in front of him made Zhang Qiu's heart beat faster. The only thing that made Zhang Qiu feel safe was that the beast was tied by a thick iron chain. , the other end of the chain is tied to a stone pillar

"Is this a manticore?"Zhang Qiu quickly recognized the other party's species.

She had read about this creature in"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them".

This is a notorious magical creature with a danger level of"XXXXXX," and the fire dragon , chimera and basilisk and other creatures are equally famous.

In comparison, the Sphinx has a hazard rating of only"XXXX", but this is not because they are weak, but because they have a relatively gentle personality and lack strong aggression.

The danger level mainly reflects the threat the species poses to wizarding society.

Manticores, like Chimeras, have a special preference for human flesh. They emit an eerie, drowsy hum as they hunt. The intelligence of this creature cannot be underestimated. They can even imitate human speech, but the sound they make is like a weird melody mixed with a flute and a trumpet. Their scorpion-like tails are constantly swaying, and the spikes on their tails can fly out in all directions, and the venom attached to them splashes down like deadly raindrops.

What's even more troublesome is that their fur has strong magic resistance and can withstand most spell attacks, which makes wizards often helpless when facing them.

After seeing this monster with his own eyes, Zhang Qiu suddenly solved the mystery in his heart:"I finally understand how those bomb-tailed snails were born."

"You guessed it, it's the mother of those Blast-Ended Skrewts and another part of the material your Animagus needs."

Treating it, Levin was not so polite to the Sphinx. He decisively took out his wand and cast magic on the ground. In an instant, a cluster of dark tentacles suddenly emerged from the ground, just like when Hermione was fishing. They were exactly the same as those summoned in the square.

These tentacles were thick and powerful. Regardless of the manticore's growls and roars, they tightly bound it and staged a tentacle play.

Levine took the opportunity to remove a tube of precious blood from the manticore.

"Wait, the blood of the Manticore can actually be fused with the Sphinx. What is the principle behind this?"When the two left the cave, Zhang Qiu was still full of doubts.

Levin did not answer directly, but brought up the previous topic:"Remember the reproductive isolation issue we mentioned in the Sphinx?"

"You mean, there's no reproductive isolation between manticores and sphinxes either?"Zhang Qiu asked in disbelief.

"That's right!"Levine confirmed this seemingly absurd statement,"If you think about it, they all have human faces, lion bodies, and wings. It's not surprising that they have similar blood."

"Just because they have similar characteristics, they can mix blood... This reason is too simple and crude."Zhang Qiu still finds it difficult to accept this explanation.

"Yeah, it does sound ridiculous, but it's true."Levin spread his hands helplessly,"Actually, the reason is also very simple. Most of these magical creatures did not evolve naturally, but were acquired. Some are transformed by wizards, some are created by gods, and some are simply the product of curses. All in all, these creatures are essentially a fusion of creatures already found in nature. After their birth, they gradually multiplied and became new species."

He changed back to the form of Chimera, let Zhang Qiu ride on his back, and continued to explain while flying:

"There are many similar examples. For example, didn't Hagrid use manticores and fire crabs to crossbreed to create Explosive-tailed Skrewts? Compared with manticores and sphinxes, there is probably a bigger gap between manticores and fire crabs. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Then he talked about the Sphinx:"In fact, many demi-sphinx creatures can be hybridized. Sphinx, Manticore, Chimeras and even griffins can give birth to hybrid offspring - the only difference between the eagle-faced sphinx and the griffon is a pair of eagle claws"

"But why didn't you say it then?"Zhang Qiu asked

"Because the Sphinx himself doesn't want to admit it. Levin curled his lips,"Female-faced sphinxes are very arrogant. They even disdain the sheep-faced and eagle-faced sphinxes, let alone other beasts?" In their eyes, only male-faced sphinxes can be regarded as their kind. If I had revealed the truth rashly, she would have kicked us out on the spot."

"Whoa whoa!"

Listening to Levin telling a series of secret knowledge, Zhang Qiu nodded like a chicken. The number of strange knowledge increased. As night fell, Levin took Zhang Qiu back to the tower.

Last time Levin announced that there would be After arranging everyone's Animagus transformation, Zhang Qiu and the others also completed the preliminary rituals one by one.

They prepared the pupae of the Grimace Hawkmoth, a crystal bottle containing their own hair, and a mixture of saliva and a teaspoon Dew potions.

These potions have already absorbed the essence of the moon and turned red.

Levin skillfully prepared the transformation potions through the blood of the Sphinx and Manticore.

There is Hermione's Animagus transformation. With Zhuyu in front, Zhang Qiu was not so afraid this time. She took Levin's potion under the oak tree and drank it in one gulp. Soon, a creature with the characteristics of a sphinx and a manticore appeared in Levin's In front of Wen.

But unlike the manticore seen in the cave, Zhang Qiu's Animagus did not have the mane of a male lion. Her entire upper body maintained its original appearance, but had the limbs and limbs of a lion. The wings on the body and back are not the bat wings of a manticore, but the beautiful eagle wings of a sphinx. The tail maintains the appearance of a manticore, covered with terrifying stingers.

Zhang Qiu is still in a trance. She looked at her lion legs in confusion, then looked up to see Levin staring at her intently, thinking that he was laughing at her. There was a kind of destructive and (Zhao Hao) bloodthirsty spirit in the manticore blood. Levin's will made her couldn't help but pounce in the direction of Levin, but because she was not used to the way the Sphinx moved, she sat on the ground like a lion version of a duck.

Levin keenly captured Zhang Qiu's With every slight fluctuation in emotion, he immediately said in a gentle and soothing tone:"Zhang Qiu, don't be swayed by the nature of the lion and scorpion, that kind of wildness can be tamed. I believe you have enough strength to fight it and control it!"

Zhang Qiu, who was trying to control her limbs and wings, heard this and looked sideways at Levin, studying that handsome face.

This face that she loved and had been pursuing for a long time was like a beacon at this moment, giving her strength and confidence..

After a while, the girl's original ferocious expression gradually softened, and the crazy and bloodthirsty impulse slowly subsided.

Suddenly, she began to stagger towards Levin again.

Levin quietly observed, the wand in his hand at any time Prepare to deal with emergencies.

This is a process of self-confrontation. He will not intervene unless he has to.

Soon, the Sphinx came to Levin. With just a slight pounce, the man in front of him would fall to the ground. Under her paw.

However, at the last moment, she gently rested her head in Levin's arms.

The picture shows Sphinx Zhang Qiu.
