Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

Chapter 132 Poison Horned Beast

"Where's Bourne?"

As Fred said this, he reached out and helped his brother gently place the Moon Crazy Beast cub on the ground.

Professor Kettleburn gave them medicine one by one.

"I specifically looked for him when I came out. He was neither in the trophy room nor in the Gryffindor Tower."

George replied.

While talking, he wiped his forehead with the back of his hand, and his face suddenly turned into a cat with a painted face.

"Cough cough~~"

The air bubble on George's head broke into pieces with a pop, causing his respiratory tract to be irritated by the smoke, and he coughed twice involuntarily.

"Merlin's beard!"

Professor Kettleburn, who was busy applying fresh dressing to the injured animal, saw this and exclaimed, and quickly cast a "Head Soaking Curse" on him again.

"Don't break the spell again. I still have the energy to take care of these poor animals. Each of them needs a bubble head charm too."

"Sorry, Professor."

George responded with a sneer.

At this moment, a violent gust of wind suddenly appeared over the clearing. The Thestrals who made way for the professor and the young wizard to rest in a corner of their habitat began to scream "Herodian".

"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom..."

One after another, the injured animals that had just been brought to this temporary rescue station had a large bubble growing out of thin air, providing protection for their respiratory tract and throat.

Burne, who was driving the brass chariot, gave a timely assist to Professor Kettleburn and the Weasley twins who were too busy to spare any time.

"Hey, Bourne, you're finally here!"

There was no time to exchange too many greetings, Bourne just nodded at the twins, and then used the "Levitation Curse" to start "unloading" from the car to the ground——

A family of ferrets fainted by the smoke, a black albino hound, a group of Bowtruckles trapped in the magic tree and almost roasted to dehydration, and several thorns balled up in fear. Dude...these are the magical animals he just rescued in the Forbidden Forest.

In fact, he actually relied on Ryan's new Madago cat boy to save so many fire victims at once.

The clever Ryan discovered that in addition to guarding homes and nursing homes, there is another way for Madago cats to open up: saturation search and rescue.

As soon as the brass chariot flew into the Forbidden Forest, Ryan jumped in front of the new little brother and gave it a slap in the face.

The Madago cat, who was beaten for no reason, was stunned for a moment, and complained crazily in its heart: Are you okay? I'm free as long as I'm free, why are you beating me?
However, out of instinct, after being attacked, it uncontrollably split into two large black cats that were identical, but slightly smaller.

The ruthless Ryan used his claws again, a set of five lightning whips, and directly pushed the split body of one of the Madago cats out of the chariot.

Of course, like his namesake, an adult who never hides any secrets, Ryan is definitely not looking for something to do.

What evil intentions can a kitten have?
It simply intends to spread the Madago cats as evenly as possible throughout the fire scene in the form of split bodies to search for injured small animals.

Anyway, as long as a split body of the Madago cat is left on the chariot, the Madago cat will not die due to being trapped in the sea of ​​fire.

In this way, relying on the carpet-like search of the Madago cat fragments and the super-high-speed maneuverability of the brass chariot, Bourne quickly rescued a car full of magical animals in the Forbidden Forest.

Moreover, because of the magic attached to the chariot, every injured beast loaded onto the chariot will be simultaneously brushed with an enhanced version of the "Head Bubble Curse".

The brass chariot turns into an ambulance in seconds.

Bourne even transformed back into a little wizard. This way, more space can be left in the vehicle for injured animals.

After unloading them to the temporary rescue station, Bourne drove the brass chariot to the fire scene again in the next second. He just saw that Hagrid and the mountain trolls seemed to be in some trouble.

"Whoosh-"

A skinny, semi-large Thestral with a head shaped like a fire dragon took off and flew over. Bourne said hello to the little guy who was familiar with him.

However, he wasted no time. Because if we don't do it quickly, Hagrid and his friends might actually have a few "familiar" people there.

Although Hagrid also has a wand (hidden in a small umbrella), to be honest, his magic skills are quite average.

As for the spell that can be used to extinguish fire, Hagrid can only use "clear water like a spring". Moreover, his spells were sometimes ineffective, and the size of the water flow he summoned could not suppress the strong forest fire at all.

Therefore, he just took those trolls who could simply communicate, threw his arms away, and used physical means to prevent the spread of the fire.

Not to mention, at the beginning, these giant monsters did a pretty good job.

Their thick skin can not only isolate a lot of magic, but also have a certain degree of resistance to the high temperature of fire. As long as they are careful not to inhale too much smoke, they can move more freely in the fire scene.

Coupled with its amazing strength, the giant monster can easily smash the burning tree trunks as long as it swings the big stick generated by its own strange magic power.

However, this orderly fire-fighting work had to come to an end when a poisonous horned beast suddenly emerged from the forbidden forest.

The poison horn is a large beast native to Africa, usually black and gray in color. The adult poisonous horned beast will basically weigh 2 tons. From a distance, one could mistake it for a rhinoceros. Their skin is very thick, and most spells have no effect on the poisonhorn's thick skin. They have a large, sharp horn on their nose. Its tail is like a long rope.

The Poison Horned Beast's temperament is not particularly violent, but once it launches an attack, the target attacked by them will be in disaster.

Their magic-gathered horns can pierce almost anything, from skin to metal. Even armor made of fairy magic silver has records of being pierced by angry poison horned beasts. Not only that, there is a deadly liquid in the horns of the Poison Horned Beast, which will cause objects injected with this venom to explode.

There aren't many poison horns in existence because during mating season, the male poison horns often blow each other up.

African shamans are very cautious when dealing with them. The horns, tails and explosive fluids of poison horns can all be used in potions. They have long been classified as "Class B tradable goods" (that is, strictly controlled dangerous goods) by the British Ministry of Magic.

The Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts is quite vast. No one knows exactly how many magical animals live in it. It is not surprising that the poisonous horned beast lives here.

But the problem is that dangerous 4X-level (dangerous/requiring specialized knowledge/skilled wizards can only be dealt with) magical animals like the Poison Horn rarely move around the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest. They usually live consciously in the Forbidden Forest. Deep in the Forbidden Forest.

All I can say is that this time it was very unlucky.

A giant beast that should have stayed in the depths of the Forbidden Forest, but whether it was affected by the flames or the smoke, it suddenly became hot and rushed into the fire scene.

This is bad.

Because there are a group of giant monsters in the fire scene, facing a rampaging poisonous horned beast, the instinctive reaction of these creatures whose intelligence is all focused on muscles is to pick up their big sticks and hit it hard...

Then, just hit a bunch of HP-0. This situation made the troll's brain, which was not very capable, give up thinking.

Their next reaction was like a network administrator after a customer said there was a computer failure. All they could do was restart the computer.

They picked up the stick again and smashed it hard again. At most, they paid a little attention when aiming, and tried their best to hit the poison horned beast's head with the stick.

As a result, the poisonous horned beast, which was already distracted by the flames and smoke, was not unexpectedly smashed into a state of rage.

You know, hitting someone is not a slap in the face. The head was beaten violently. Although the damage was not high, it was extremely insulting - the person who was beaten was the Poison Horned Beast, not the gopher, nor the stupid Barnabas. It would not tolerate these giant monsters.

The poisonous horned beast narrowed its small eyes and let out a continuous "moo" roar from its mouth. As it ran, it turned its head and poked another giant monster with its horns, which was swinging a big stick at it.

I don’t know whether this giant monster is unlucky or lucky?
The poisonous horned beast's big head hit its belly like a battering ram, and it was suddenly pushed up to the sky and flew upside down.

But as luck would have it, it also avoided the dangerous poisonous horn of the poisonous horn, which hit the club that the giant monster swung wildly.

Venom is injected and the stick explodes. Wooden thorns flying everywhere pricked the giant monster's face, and it screamed in pain after it landed.

Seeing their kind being injured, the giant monsters showed a rare expression of common hatred and swung their giant sticks towards the poisonous horned beast.

This made Hagrid very anxious.

"Don't be impulsive, stop it quickly!" He shouted while trying his best to hold some trolls who wanted to attack the Poison Horned Beast.

But the latter either yelled at him, or struggled to break free, continuing to insist on joining the "just gang fight" against the poisonous horned beast.

There was even a giant monster that punched Hagrid in anger, causing the hybrid giant's nose to bleed.

They didn't realize at all that Hagrid was actually trying to save them - maybe a group of trolls really had the ability to beat a poison horned beast to death, but the horns of the poison horned beast could definitely pierce the skin of the troll - he wanted to kill them. It is absolutely impossible for one poisonous horned beast to die without seven or eight of these giant monsters dying.

And just as Hagrid held his nose and cried out in pain, accompanied by the harsh howling of the wind, Bourne also drove the chariot over the fire field.

He jumped off the chariot and instantly transformed into the Primaris Astartes form as he fell, with the Fire Dragon Armor also attached at the same time.

Unlike the mushroom dog owner next door who knelt on one knee to look cool, Bourne's feet landed heavily on the ground. He only slightly bent his knees to remove the recoil force, and his upper body was as straight as a marble pillar.

But no matter what, this "falling from the sky" style of appearance is indeed very stylish, and it easily attracted a lot of attention.

Both the troll and the poison horn looked at Bourne.

I don’t know what happened, but the giant monster with quite impressive intelligence actually immediately recognized the guy who defeated their leader in the "Waaagh" ceremony. Even though Bourne was fully covered with alchemical power armor at this time, the size and momentum he showed could not be faked. The encounter at the Halloween dinner left a deep impression on all the trolls.

Every troll stopped roaring, and some of the more attentive ones even hid their sticks behind their backs.

Their concealed and erratic eyes seem to be saying: Who am I, where am I, what am I doing, I can’t see anything?
Great, that's what Byrne wanted. Then, with his golden eyes that were dancing like flames, he looked at the poisonous horned beast that was lowering its head and roaring "moo" at him.

He took a step forward.

It took a step back.

He took another step forward.

It again...

The Poison Horned Beast's butt rubbed against a big tree behind it.

Feeling that there was no way to retreat, the giant beast's brain became hot, and there seemed to be an illusion called "I can" in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, the poisonous horned beast moved its hooves and charged towards Bourne like a tank at full power.

The horns of its head were lowered, ready for a literal horn thrust, intending to pierce the chest of the big two-legged beast in front of it with its poisonous horns.

It's just like the old saying: ideals are full, but reality is skinny.

Facing the poisonous horn beast's horn attack, Bourne leaped high and at the same time used the momentum to press its head on its forehead, and then made a "Thomas pirouette" like a gymnast.

In the end, Bourne rode firmly on the back of the poisonous horned beast, and his legs like marble pillars tightly strangled its broad body.

Bourne grasped the thick horn of the poisonous horned beast with one hand, grabbed the layers of flesh on its neck with the other hand, and shouted loudly: "Calm down!"

His voice was like thunder on the ground, reverberating endlessly in the Forbidden Forest, even overpowering the beeping sound of tree bark being cracked by fire.
-
"What is this sound?"

Snape, who had just been brought back to Hogwarts from the Ministry of Magic by the old headmaster, listened to the sounds coming from the fire outside the Forbidden Forest and frowned into two hills.

The person standing next to him was Newt, who was brought to the British Ministry of Magic from Italy by Principal Dumbledore, and then brought back to Hogwarts together.

"Ventus!"

Newt cast a weather spell at the sky with his wand, successfully summoning a dark cloud.

This is the key to rainfall.

However, although he often used weather spells in his suitcase, it was not easy for him to change the weather on a large scale in an outdoor environment.

Fortunately, Newt has a trick up his sleeve.

"Come out, Kalik!"

He opened the suitcase that he never left, put it on the ground, and shouted into it.

The next second, a thunderbird flapped its wings, emerged from the suitcase with a "swish" sound, and rushed into the thunderclouds in the sky.

"That's it! Fortunately, Kalik is a first-time mother and has no experience, so she asked me to help take care of her and her babies. Otherwise, if I had to use the weather spell to put out the fire in the Forbidden Forest, I would probably have to do it. It takes a lot of effort, and a lot of little cuties will suffer longer injuries as a result.”

Newt said a long sentence in one breath.

Because he was a little excited at this time.

And for people with the terminal disease of "social phobia", this is definitely an extraordinary performance.

However, Snape remained silent, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Newt quickly asked again: "Oh, by the way, Professor Snape, what did you say just now? I was busy casting spells and didn't hear clearly."

"It's nothing, I just feel a little different. Maybe I feel wrong."
