Hogwarts: Nagini captured at the start

Chapter 280 The Scorpion Leader Was Actually a Giant White Worm

He activated the "Flying Dragon in the Sky" skill, summoning invisible wings and flying towards the summit.

As he flew to the edge of the gray-blue storm, a tornado appeared out of nowhere, grabbed his body, and swept him back down to the foot of the mountain, along with the white snow.

Cough!

In the pristine white snow, a hand stretches out, followed by an arm, then a head and upper body.

Robin brushed the snow off his body, stared solemnly at the distant storm, pondered for a moment, then silently chanted a spell and released Norbert.

"Ugh, it's so cold, my tail's almost frozen solid," Norbert said, his legs trembling.

"Stop pretending. You're a dragon, a fire dragon at that. You wouldn't be afraid of the cold, would you?"

Little Black Dragon: ╭╮ Oh no, I've been found out! All 100 cans of herring are gone.

"Hehe, just kidding! Want to have a snowball fight? My snowballs are really round!"

"Stop fooling around. I called you here for serious business. Did you see the storm on the mountaintop?"

Norbert turned his face toward the summit. "I see it."

"Take me up there, and if you sense anything is wrong, fly back down immediately."

"Don't be nervous, it's just a small storm, there's no challenge at all!" the little black dragon said smugly.

As it turned out, it underestimated its opponent.

At first, it flew relatively steadily; in the middle, it flew shakily; and later, a tornado appeared out of nowhere, slapping the man and the dragon back to the foot of the mountain.

The little black dragon was hurt by the fall, and its howls were so loud they hurt people's eardrums. Luo Bin promised it a series of benefits before he could appease it.

Robin silently chanted a spell, put Norbert back into the Rubik's Cube, and took out his mountaineering equipment (bought before heading to Big Peak), which hadn't been used for a year, and began to climb step by step.

This time, he didn't encounter a tornado, but instead ran into an avalanche?

He quickly took out a coin, pressed the power button to activate the magic shield, and then rolled down the mountainside along with the snow.

Ten minutes later, the protective shield shattered with a crack.

Luo Bin swayed a few times, then with a "thud," he crashed into the snow.

He tried to fly, ride, and climb, but all three methods failed. He was neither angry nor sad; instead, he grinned.

Because he saw what was under the ice when the avalanche rolled down, he thought he had figured out how Tissna brought back the sacred fruit.

After he recovered, he stood up and condensed several balls of flame in his palm. With a wave of his hand, the fireballs flew side by side to the foot of the mountain, melting the snow on top.

Soon, a two-meter-high, circular hole appeared in front of Robin. He took out his magic saw, sawed off the thick ice covering the hole, put on studded leather boots, and crawled into the hole.

The surrounding ice was translucent, mixed with luminous white specks, allowing Robin to see the road ahead even without the luminous pearl.

After climbing for about an hour and a half, the slope gradually became flat. After walking for three or four minutes, we arrived at the edge of a suspended platform.

In front of the platform is a vertical hole with a diameter of fifty meters.

At the top of the cave, a large tree with fiery red leaves floats. At the base of the tree, a long object resembling a bunch of grapes hangs abruptly. Hanging from that object are green spheres the size of washbasins, and inside the spheres, dark shadows are vaguely moving.

At the bottom of the cave lay a large white worm, ten meters long and three meters high, with a head only the size of a basketball hoop.

The claws on both sides of the insect's body are short and thin, and cannot support the entire insect body at all. Therefore, the giant white worm moves its position by relying on the pupa's body.

puff~

From the tail of the large white worm, a green ball the size of a washbasin was expelled.

The green ball slowly flew into the air and landed at the bottom of the "grape bunch". A stream of fluorescent green liquid hit the green ball and spread throughout the entire grape bunch, making its color even brighter.

At the same time, the red of that big tree dimmed a little.

Clearly, the green balls expelled by the giant white worms were competing for nutrients from the tree. Luo Bin quickly glanced at both sides of the suspended platform and noticed a hemp rope hanging down to the bottom of the hole on the right.

After a moment's thought, he put on his dragon-skin gloves, gripped the rope tightly, and descended to the bottom of the cave.

The giant white cricket caught sight of someone intruding into its territory out of the corner of its eye. It coiled its body, turned its head toward the intruder, and then, with a flick of its mouthparts, spat out a white thread about half the thickness of its little finger.

Luo Bin stepped back more than a meter to dodge, when suddenly, a strand of white silk shot out from behind him and wrapped around his ankle.

Then, the white silk quickly coiled and wrapped around it, turning it into a white cocoon in less than three seconds.

Luo Bin: (￢д￢。), you're quite clever, aren't you! You attacked me from behind!

Luo Bin took out a magic dagger, pressed the power button, and a flame 1cm high immediately appeared on the blade. With a light stroke, the white cocoon cracked open with a sizzling sound.

He burst out of the white cocoon through the crack and found eight large white worms crawling around him. The worms waved their mouthparts and sprayed white silk at him in unison.

Luo Bin quickly activated his skill to summon wings, took flight, and waved a large ball of orange flames toward the location where the eight strands of white silk were gathered.

It's sizzling!It's sizzling!

One strand of white silk was ignited by the fire, while the remaining seven strands remained motionless. Therefore, those seven large white worms likely did not exist.

Luo Bin took out his bow and arrows and lit the oil-soaked cloth wrapped around the arrowheads. Whoosh! Three fire arrows streaked through the air and struck the abdomen of the large white worm whose white silk could burn.

It's sizzling!It's sizzling!

The aroma of roasted protein wafted from inside the cave. Robin's sense of smell told him that the smell of the giant white worm being roasted was exactly the same as that of Tissner.

Could it be that the giant white worm is the leader of the human-scorpion syndicate?

I originally thought it would be some kind of giant human-bodied, scorpion-tailed monster.

At the bottom of the cave, the large white worm rolled over, emitting a sound that closely resembled the screams of a pig being slaughtered.

A moment later, the arrow rolled away, the wound healed rapidly, and it stopped howling.

Eight large insects pupated together, you brushed past me, I passed through you, mingling together, indistinguishable from the real and the illusory.

Even the rhythm of their mouthparts waving is consistent—no, that's not right. The rhythm is consistent, but only one sound of mouthparts waving can be heard from the bottom of the cave.

However, the sound was too faint, so faint that it was impossible to discern its source.

Luo Bin considered landing and wreaking havoc, but that would be tantamount to handing the initiative over to the giant white bug, so he chose a safer approach.

but

He closed his eyes and listened carefully to the clicking sound of the mouthparts moving, but the sound was too faint to discern which direction it was coming from.

We need to find a way to force the white worm to make a louder sound when it waves its mouthparts.

After a moment of contemplation, Robin came up with a plan. He took out the cannon that George had given him and set it ablaze.

bang~

The loud explosion startled the giant white worm, causing it to lose its composure and drastically change the frequency and force of its mouthparts movements.

By using this change, Luo Bin, who was suspended in mid-air, was able to determine the location of the giant white worm's true form.

He drew his bow to its fullest extent and fired six flaming arrows.

With a soft thud, the arrow struck its target, and a deafening roar echoed through the cave once more.

Luo Bin opened his eyes and found that the phantom worm had disappeared. On the ice surface at the bottom of the cave, there was only a large white worm writhing and howling. However, a rustling sound came from the green ball hanging at the top of the cave.

Robin flew to the bunch of grapes and observed the scene inside the sphere through a layer of green membrane. The black shadows had human upper bodies and scorpion lower bodies, and their hair was gradually getting longer and harder.
