Chapter 177 Pet Kraken

Looking at the seven snake eggs laid by the fire snake that emitted extreme heat, Dui carefully moved them to the test bench.

These fire eggs are no different from bombs. If you are not careful, they will explode and set the entire room on fire.

As for the mother snake that had just laid eggs, she crawled back into the flames without looking back to restore her energy, as if she had completed a mission.

Dui felt helpless, as if he had created a trouble for himself.

At the very least, the fire lizard cannot leave the flames, so it won't cause too much trouble.

But this fire snake can stay away from the flames for an hour and lay scorching hot snake eggs. It is simply a mobile fire source.

He was afraid that the castle he had built with so much effort would be burned down by the fire snake if no one was watching!
But now that they have been born, it is impossible for him to directly destroy the fire snakes and snake eggs.

Dui waved his hand and used a freezing spell to freeze one of the snake eggs into dormancy.

This fire snake is somewhat similar to the fire ash snake in the magical world, and the eggs of the fire ash snake are a precious potion material that can be used to make love potions, Edrus potion (which can enhance the drinker's defense ability), felicity potion and other potions.

He wanted to see if the eggs of the fire snake could be used as a substitute.
The remaining six snake eggs suddenly caught fire and were enveloped in flames.

Then six slender gray-white snakes hatched from the flames.

After they swallowed the flames, they instinctively crawled towards the fire.

Wherever it climbs, it leaves a trail of ash.

Three of them crawled over to the mother and made themselves comfortable in the flames.

But the mother snake did not have the awareness of being a mother. Instead, she bared her teeth at the three little snakes as if their territory was invaded. If she didn't know that they were her children, she would have swallowed them.

But even if they didn't attack the little snakes, they still tried to drive them out of their territory.

The other three directly snatched the fire from the fire lizards' fireplace, not only disturbing the two fire lizards' baby-making activities, but also forcing them to the edge of the fire, where they were too pitiful to dare to get close.

Then the little snakes bared their teeth at each other, trying to drive out their other brothers and sisters and occupy a fire alone.

When Dui saw this scene, he also got a headache.

He quickly summoned six flames and distributed them to the newly born little fire snakes, thus preventing them from killing each other.

He was thinking about building a special enclosed room to house these fire snakes.

Otherwise, if these fire snakes were allowed to run around, his castle would be in jeopardy.

Even if they were allowed to escape, the town of Hogsmeade below the mountain and the surrounding woods would be in trouble.

To avoid accidents, Dui found a room that was empty and had no flammable materials left.

After expanding the space with the Traceless Extension Spell, he specially opened up more than a dozen small fireplaces on the surrounding walls, lit the fires, and arranged the mother snake and six little fire snakes.

As for the two fire lizards, they are not as threatening as the fire snakes, and they will die quickly once they leave the fire.

So Dewy left them in the fireplace as unique decorations in Hogwarts fireplaces.

After using the fragments of the Fire Demon's heart and the Fire Demon's blood to cultivate fire lizards and fire snakes, Dui did not continue.

He could see that the fragments of the Balrog's heart played a leading role in the successful transformation of ordinary lizards and snakes into magical creatures, while the Balrog's blood acted as a catalyst.

Both are limited, and he can't waste any more time on these animal experiments.

He planned to save it for later use.

The experiment was temporarily stopped, and Dui turned his attention to another matter.

These days after returning, the petrified underwater watcher still has not been resolved.

Just leaving it in the space box won't make any sense.

So Dui prepared to make a recovery potion to restore the water monster and subdue it.

He walked all the way to the herb garden floor and entered the room where the King's Grass was planted.

As soon as I came in, a warm and moist air flow hit me in the face.

The room was like a small world, with countless clouds on the endless blue ceiling and sunshine shining brightly.

Among the small hills on the ground, there is a small stream running through the hill depression and flowing into a clear small lake.

There were once only hundreds of royal grass plants, but now they have grown everywhere like weeds, and have bloomed pure white flowers. The air is filled with a sweet and rich fragrance, which makes people feel comfortable and relaxed.

A part of the royal grass was transplanted into the garden by Dui.

There are holy white trees in the garden, and even in Fengyunding, an environment that is not suitable for the growth of King's Grass, they still grow vigorously.

Nowadays, this kind of herb is not rare in Fengyunding, so if the people living at the foot of the mountain encounter serious illnesses and come to ask for medicine, Dui allows the butler Edward to go to the garden to pick the king's grass to treat the patients.

However, Dui's purpose of coming here today was not for these king grasses.

He made his way to the lake, which was full of goldberries and water lilies that Tom had given him.

The water lily comes from the Willow River and contains the blessing and power of the river girl, Goldenberry. It has more magical healing powers than the King's Grass.

He walked around the lake and came to the other side, where he saw a dozen moving broad-leaved plants on the grass by the lake.

Their roots are buried in the ground, but they form a circle, as if they are whispering something in the ground.

Upon sensing the arrival of strangers, most of them instantly fell silent, pretending to be ordinary, motionless plants. Others, however, immediately pulled themselves out of the soil and fled quickly into the distance on their tiny feet.

They are none other than mandrakes.

Dui looked at the fastest Mandrake and raised his hand to summon it over.

"You're running so fast, it must be you!"

The mandrake kept twisting and struggling in mid-air, making a deadly and harsh sound in dissatisfaction.

However, Dui had already cast a soundproofing spell and simply ignored its sound. He pulled out a syringe and extracted the green juice from it.

After smoking enough, he looked at the weak and crying Mandrake and threw it back to the ground.

If he followed the method of making a recovery potion, he would need to use the entire mandrake root to make the potion, but with the guidance of Professor Snape's potion notes and the idea of ​​sustainable utilization, he came up with the idea of ​​extracting mandrake juice instead.

The mandrake that escaped from the clutches of the devil immediately fled into the bushes, burrowed into the soil and disappeared.

Dui ignored it, turned and left the room, and went to the potion room to start preparing the potion.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

When the recovery potion in the crucible was ready, Dui raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a satisfied smile.

With Snape's potion notes, his recovery potion was successful on the first try and in perfect condition.

He poured the recovery potion in the crucible into several glass bottles. He kept one bottle to remove the petrification of the underwater watcher, and refrigerated the rest in the potion cabinet.

Restoration potions are not only used to restore petrification curses, but can also help people who have been deformed, or have been cursed and cast into black magic, return to their original state.

So Dui kept some extra, just in case.

Carrying a bottle of recovery potion, Dui came to another room and entered the space box containing the underwater watcher.

Looking at the huge giant octopus, Dui poured the entire bottle of potion directly into its huge mouth.

As the potion took effect, the underwater watcher, which had originally looked like a stone sculpture, gradually recovered. The gray petrified surface turned dark green again, and the stiff tentacles began to twist and curl.

Even the tentacles that had been severed by the Divine Edge Shadowless Curse had the dark magic remaining on them removed by the potion, and were slowly growing and repairing themselves again.

The underwater watcher regained consciousness and, upon seeing Dui, immediately swung his huge tentacles in anger and attacked Dui.

Dui's expression remained calm. As he waved his wand, fierce fire gushed out rapidly, blocking him and instantly burning the tentacles to ashes.

The flames quickly exploded and spread, filling the entire space inside the box and turning it into a world of fierce fire.

Dui was surrounded by fierce fire, but he did not feel any burning sensation. The fierce fire around him surrounded him obediently, making him look like the king of fire.

However, the watcher in the water on the opposite side was surrounded by the spreading fierce fire and let out a shrill scream of pain.

If Dui had not tried to control it, it would have been burned to ashes by now.

But the scorching temperature still burned the observer in the water, causing him great pain, as if he would be burned to death in the next second.

The amazing thing is that even though the underwater observer looked extremely painful, there were no signs of burns on his surface.

Dui looked at the watcher in the water coldly. When the watcher was dying, he waved his hand to let Li Huo retreat, but he still looked at it with a fierce look, ready to rush up and burn it to death at any time.

"I know you can understand what I say!" Dui said coldly.

"I can forgive your previous offense, but there is one thing: you must submit to me! Otherwise, these flames will slowly burn you, first burning all your tentacles, then your skin, internal organs, bones, and finally your consciousness."

"Now, make your choice!"

The fierce fire around seemed to be cooperating with his words, condensing into various images of dragons, basilisks, fire demons, etc., staring at it with violent and greedy eyes, as if they were about to pounce on it in the next second.

The observer in the water looked at the flames around it in horror, with all its tentacles tightly huddled together, fearing that they would be touched by the flames.

When the underwater watcher heard Dui's threatening words, his eyes were filled with fear and hesitation.

But as the scorching flames gradually approached, the instinct for survival made it nod hurriedly when the flames were about to touch it.

Li Huo then retreated unwillingly, as if regretting not being able to devour it.

Dui waved his wand, and a drop of blue blood was taken from the underwater watcher and flew between the two of them.

Dui also took out a drop of his own blood and cast a spell.

Under the influence of the spell, the two drops of blood merged together to form a red and blue blood bead, which was sent by Dui into the octopus's mouth.

As soon as the blood drop entered the octopus's mouth, it merged into its body, spread along the blood vessels, and turned into an invisible and powerful restraint.

Under Li Huo's threat, the octopus didn't dare to make any moves and could only cooperate obediently.

This is a variation of the Blood Oath, which Dui had also used against the basilisk.

It will make the octopus unconditionally obey all of Dui's requests and will not harm Dui in any way.

After completing the process of recognizing the master, Dui directly withdrew Lihuo.

"From today on, you are no longer the Water Watcher, but my pet Kraken."

The giant octopus Kraken bowed obediently to Dui, showing complete submission.
