Infinite Horror: The Strongest Zhongzhou Team

Black, who was already up, reached out and helped Harry up.

He then said:

"It does look like a cemetery, and an abandoned one at that."

Blake assessed the situation by observing the overgrown weeds around him.

It was only at this moment that Cheng Xiao began to look around.

This abandoned cemetery is filled with broken tombstones and various huge stone sculptures.

These sculptures all appear to be defective products, likely discarded here as garbage.

An angel without wings.

A demon with a bull's head, a grim reaper wielding a scythe, and a cross lying on the ground, and so on!

The cedar trees that originally covered this cemetery were destroyed by an unknown force and lay scattered on the ground.

This made the surrounding area appear even more desolate.

"Wait, look, there are words on this!"

Cedric pointed to the nearest tombstone.

Harry leaned closer and saw a name on the tombstone.

Tom Riddle!
Harry paused, then instinctively looked in a direction he remembered being to his right.

And in that direction, a three-story hut with a dim light came into Harry's view.

In that instant, Harry's pupils shrank.

He grabbed Blake, who was walking towards him, and said in a panic:
"I remember now, I've been here before!"

Harry's words drew everyone's attention.

"It was in a dream, but I clearly remember being here."

“Godfather, Professor Lupin, I remember that name on this stone tablet too!”

"And that house in the distance."

"That's right, it's that nightmare!"

"Brother Cheng, this cemetery is where that nightmare first began!"

Cheng Xiao patted Harry on the shoulder.

"Don't get agitated, Harry, calm down, calm down!"

"As I said before, for some reason, you can see some things that are in Voldemort's line of sight."

"So this is all normal."

"This also means that Voldemort, Peter Pettigrew, and the others are nearby."

Harry instinctively covered his forehead and took deep breaths to calm himself down.

Black looked solemnly at the tombstone in front of Harry and said:
“This surname, Harry, you might be right, this should be Voldemort’s father.”

While the group was examining the tombstone, they didn't see that Cheng Xiao was already preparing something.

As the clanging of metal rang out, Cheng Xiao shouted to the group:

"Everyone, please make way. We need to hurry before some people get here."

The group of people looked at the enormous figure in front of Cheng Xiao with horrified expressions and made way for him.

Just as Harry was about to ask what was going on, Cheng Xiao had already pulled the trigger with a smile.

Watching the massive cannonball fly straight out.

Blake and Lupin cursed aloud, and before the cannonballs even landed, the two transformed into a large dog and a giant wolf.

Black grabbed Harry, while Lupin grabbed Cedric, and the two leaped into the distance almost simultaneously.

And just like that, Harry and Cedric, while still in mid-air, saw the very tombstone and cemetery they had just been studying being blown into the sky by a cannonball.

That wasn't all, because Cheng Xiao was continuously pulling the trigger.

So much so that it's impossible to stop.

Not only this tombstone, but also the surrounding tombstones, and even the spot where they lay when they arrived, were all blown to pieces.

Moreover, these bombs seemed different from any they had seen before.

After a muffled boom.

The ground was riddled with holes.

Moreover, even though the place was already blown to pieces, Cheng Xiao still kept targeting that spot and kept blasting it for a long time.

They didn't stop until the pit was more than ten meters deep.

"Uh, Brother Cheng, what are you doing?"

Harry only had a chance to ask the question after the rumble ended.

At that moment, Cheng Xiao suddenly made a loud bang.

Surrounded by white smoke, Cheng Xiao miraculously reverted to his infant form once again.

The man clapped his hands indifferently, first telling Moss that the timer was over, and then putting his things away.

Then he jumped onto Harry's shoulder and explained:

"Actually, it's nothing. I have a grudge against the person lying on the ground."

"Don't worry about what happens in the east, you can leave things to the west."

After finishing speaking, Cheng Xiao turned to Moss, who was already prepared beside him, and said again:

"Find the bones, grind them into ash, and then scatter them!"

Watching a ball of silver liquid plunge into the pit.

Harry and the others were all stunned.

Even if you have a grudge, you don't have to go this far.

Cheng Xiao had no choice.

According to the plot, the three elements required for Voldemort's resurrection are the blood of his enemies, the flesh of his servants, and the bones of his loved ones!

Voldemort was still in a weakened state, half-crippled.

Even if Peter the Pettigrew were added, they would not be afraid.

However, to be on the safe side, Cheng Xiao decided to first grind Voldemort's relatives to dust.

At least that makes me feel more at ease.

However, it was at this moment, perhaps because the commotion had been too great, that some little mice were given an opportunity to take advantage.

So much so that the enemy was already close before they even reacted.

“vada Kedavra!”

"Avada!"

A whistling green beam struck Harry's shoulder from behind when no one was prepared.

The oval-shaped light shield reappeared as before.

But this time, the light shield seemed to have lost its function.

That is, when you see the green beam of light penetrating the barrier.

Cheng Xiao then remembered Moody's description of the Avada Kedavra in class.

It cannot be defended against, it cannot be resisted.

So this sentence is so realistic.

Even the protective jade pendant was ineffective!

The beam hits.

Pieces of talisman paper were scattered in front of Cheng Xiao and began to burn without fire.

The baby's body was covered in a dark golden light that intertwined with the green color represented by the Avada Kedavra curse.

Cheng Xiao was also blasted backward by the force of the beam of light.

Cheng Xiao's physical abilities were indeed formidable, even when others were instantly killed.

This person was still able to calmly shout out a sentence.

"Am I pretty?"

After saying that, he casually raised his middle finger.

However, that's all there is to it.

Then it fell to the ground, bounced twice, dust flew up, and then became completely still.

Harry's expression froze on his face.

But before he could react, he was pounced on and sent flying by a huge figure beside him.

Lupin and Black were very glad that they hadn't reverted to human form at that moment.

This is also why the beam of light did not choose them.

Harry can't die, because of the positioning issue, Cedric is on the other side.

Peter Pettigrew, as a former friend, was extremely familiar with the reactions of the werewolf and the giant dog.

That's why he finally chose to launch a sneak attack on Cheng Xiao. Lupin grabbed Harry and Cedric and plunged into the still-warm pit ahead.

On the other side, Blake kicked up a cloud of dust with his hind legs before rushing over to join him.

After a brief twist, transforming into a human form mid-flight, Black immediately brandished his wand:

"There are many obstacles!"

"Concrete shields!"

The two spells combined.

The originally uneven and loose soil edges seemed to come alive, becoming neat and smooth, surrounding the four of them behind them.

After landing, Harry realized what was happening and tried to rush towards Cheng Xiao's location.

But Cedric held her tightly.

"Harry, Harry!"

"Wake up!"

The werewolf next to him exchanged a glance with Blake, who had turned into a human.

"Cedric, you stay here and watch Harry. We'll take care of things outside!"

Cedric, who was holding Harry, quickly spoke up: "Professor Lupin, I can help too!"

The enormous wolf head turned, shook its head, and its voice was hoarse:

"This is our business!"

"We let him go back then, but we won't do it this time!"

After saying that, the giant wolf used its lower body to propel itself into the air.

At the same time, Blake jumped out from the side, beams of light bursting from his wand.

Peter Pettigrew's magical abilities are comparable to Black's.

In other circumstances, if Little Pettigrew had attacked first, Black would most likely have lost.

But don't forget, there's also a werewolf here.

After Little Pettigrew awkwardly dodged the oncoming magical attack.

A huge figure galloped across the ground, covering a distance in an instant.

Seeing Black raise his wand in the distance, Pettigrew instinctively swung it as well, and the spell stopped instantly.

Two beams of magic collided in mid-air, sparking dazzling sparks.

Peter Pettigrew stumbled back a few steps, still not quite regaining his footing.

A foul stench wafted from his side.

Little Star looked over and saw that Lupin, in his giant wolf form, had already pounced on him!
Peter turned abruptly, the green light at the tip of his wand coalescing once more: "Avada Kedavra—"

Before the incantation was finished, Peter knew he was doomed.

Because the figure running on the ground had already arrived in front of them and was raising its palm.

Using the momentum of his run, the werewolf shoved the other side with a single palm strike.

Peter's massive body was swatted away by a claw, and he rolled several times on the muddy ground, making a crisp cracking sound as his bones broke.

Even so, he still struggled to reach for his sleeve.

But before he could succeed, Blake's boot slammed heavily onto his wrist:
"Wormtail, this time there are no mouse holes for you to crawl through."

After Blake finished speaking, he shouted loudly:

"Split into pieces!"

A sharp white light flashed in front of the wand, and Peter felt a chill run through his body.

Little Pettigrew then realized that his hands and feet were flying out at a speed faster than he was.

The black cloth-wrapped object he had been holding in his right hand fell heavily to the ground.

The werewolf landed from the sky.

His keen sense of smell made him accelerate again towards the black package that had fallen to the ground.

A claw swept across.

The series of rapid movements had left Lupin panting heavily.

But at this moment, the two of them just stared at Peter writhing on the ground.

Yes, he is not dead yet.

However, with all four of his limbs severed, blood was gushing out.

If no measures are taken, he will probably die soon.

Lupin the giant wolf looked at Peter on the ground and said:
"Fifteen years, Peter!"

“Blake, you finally…”

Lu Ping hadn't finished speaking his感慨 (feelings/reflections).

"Shattered to pieces!"

A sharp shout came from Black's mouth, and at the same time, his wand slammed into him.

The next moment, a tooth-grinding sound rang out.

That was the sound of bones being crushed, and it came from Peter's body.

This special magical ability penetrated directly through the skin and flesh, acting on the innermost bones.

Visibly, Peter Pettigrew's entire body began to collapse.

After all, without the support of bones, the body is just a lump of rotten flesh.

After the spell ended and all the bones were crushed, Peter's wailing voice accompanied his death.

As a result, his entire head flattened out.

After all, the skull is also bone.

The werewolf stared at Blake in surprise.

The person then calmly remarked:

"Actually, compared to the Imperishable Curse, the Shattered Bones Curse is more painful in my opinion."

"However, I have also studied it. One works purely on the mind, while the other works on the body."

“Lu Ping, I don’t want to make the same mistake I did two years ago. Cheng Xiao is right about some things.”

"Damn it, I still have to die!"

It is obvious that through this period of time, Sirius Black has successfully transformed into Cheng Xiao's shape.

However, it was only after Peter's death that the two of them relaxed.

A hoarse groan rose from the dark graveyard.

The obscure and incomprehensible incantation echoed in their ears.

Werewolf Lupin instinctively translated the curse into a language he was familiar with: "Frost spreads?"
What kind of magic is this?
Then the second thought was that something was wrong, and I wanted to hide.

But by then it was too late.

An icy blue aura bloomed from beneath their feet and then spread rapidly.

Centered on the two people, with a radius of five meters, it had transformed into a world of ice crystals.

Blake and Lupin remained frozen in place, their bodies half-turned.

An unexpected figure dragged the unconscious Harry over.

The figure waved a wand, and the ice crystals above their heads melted, revealing their mouths.

Lupin and Black immediately began to breathe heavily.

Blake's face was filled with disbelief:
“Cedric…”

The person who emerged from behind the two and was dragging Harry was Cedric, who was wearing a yellow Gryffindor uniform.

However, although he was moving normally, his expression was stiff and rigid.

Lupin, still in werewolf form, stared intently at the man and slowly spoke:
"No, he's not Cedric. This magic academy never taught that. He can't cast it!"

Next, Cedric didn't say anything, but his hoarse, groan-like voice rang out again.

"Lupin!"

"Blake!"

"You two, it's been so long..."

Cedric threw Harry from his hands onto the ice.

Then he turned his body around like that.

Immediately afterwards, the two frozen figures showed expressions of horror.

Because on the back of Cedric, a parasitic monster was greeting them.

And this was the one they had been longing for day and night.

Voldemort!
The distorted face slowly emerged from Cedric's back.

Skin, like rotting tree bark, clung tightly to the back of Cedric's neck. (End of Chapter)
