Chapter 85 Two Meatballs Kill Three Monsters and an Unexpected Incident

"I have a plan..." Even without hearing the voice, everyone could guess who was speaking.

Harley: "Let's steal the keys while they're asleep!"

Ron: "Great idea!"

Jerry: "So, who's going to put these three big babies to sleep?"

Everyone: "..."

Everyone can practically picture Jerry shrugging his hands!

The Harley Plans will definitely be explained in plain language~

After thinking for a moment, Ted said, "Perhaps Harley's plan has a chance. Let's do this and that..."

Ted muttered to himself, explaining his plan and his backup plan in case of unforeseen circumstances.

Although Ted hadn't yet made up his mind about whether to participate in this adventure, he was actually somewhat prepared. Perhaps deep down he also longed for this adventure.

For example, in the area of ​​potions!

Because Harley was mostly sent to solitary confinement by Snape to "process medicinal herbs (give her special treatment)," Ted also asked Harley to either ask for them openly or secretly, and obtained a lot of medicinal herbs from Snape.

These were all common, inexpensive medicinal herbs, not high-end potion ingredients. Snape couldn't really say anything to Harley, so he turned a blind eye.

Harley Quinn is the only one who could take medicine from Snape's storeroom.

Among the potions Ted prepared was the Water of Life and Death!

This is a powerful sleeping pill, and it was developed in a very ancient era, several hundred years ago.

This potion must be taken strictly according to the dosage; even a single extra drop could cause a three-day slumber. The slumber is so intense that the pulse and heartbeat drop to only a few beats per minute, making the person feel as if they are dead.

That's why it's called the Water of Life and Death.

Legend has it that Juliet in Shakespeare's play drank this drug, which led to a misunderstanding and this timeless tragedy.

Ted's plan was to lure the giants with food. These three creatures looked like mutated pigs at first glance; their size alone suggested they were incredibly greedy. They were bound to fall for it.

However, there are many variables involved.

Because the dosage of the Water of Life and Death that Ted knew was for humans. He had no idea what dosage the trolls would use!

You said you used everything, but even using everything isn't enough.

This small bottle, if divided into three, is really hard to say whether it could take down these three pig giants with extremely high magic resistance, which were modified by Professor Quirrell.

And the food I brought with me wasn't enough!

If you find all of Jerry's cheese and Ron's hidden chicken leg, it'll be enough for the troll to have a big bite.

Finally, just to be on the safe side, Ted decided to split it into two portions.

In ancient times, two peaches killed three warriors; now, three strange creatures fight over food.

Let them fight over it; the two strongest eat. Then, the weakest one is left, and the rest are taken down by the group.

Although the plan is good, no one can guarantee its success.

Will the three trolls get along well, and will the trolls share the pears?

Is the dosage of the Potion of Life and Death sufficient to keep the giant asleep for as long as possible?

What if the plan fails?

Ted's idea was to get the key as soon as possible, and if the plan didn't go smoothly, he would stay behind so his friends could go to the next level first, while he would find an opportunity to escape and catch up.

……

The three giants are actually only eight years old!

That's right, trolls grow extremely fast and are usually abandoned by their mothers to live alone after they turn one year old.

These three eight-year-old giants are almost adults.

They were all captured and studied by Professor Quirrell when they were one or two years old. Over the years, they have undergone more than a dozen large-scale experiments.

There were more than a dozen giants at first, but in the end only these three succeeded.

However, although Professor Quirrell focused on researching "genetically modified trolls" in his early years, he has stopped caring about trolls in the last two years. Because Voldemort has already attached himself to the back of his head.

Professor Quirrell's research was already taboo, but in Voldemort's eyes, it was all just foolish little tricks, not worth mentioning.

Although he was the one who initially told Quirrell many of the forbidden bloodline knowledge and experimental methods in the Albanian forests.

But times change!

Although the three trolls were no longer popular, they were still mature products with considerable combat power, so Quirrell continued to keep them—mainly because Dumbledore arranged for the professors to set up challenges, so the three brothers had a place to stay.

They've been trapped here for more than half a year, but having food and water isn't a bad thing for the trolls.

However, today seems a bit unexpected.

First, its owner appeared in a hurry, disappeared through the opposite wall, and then the door opened by itself!

But these three well-tamed giants have no intention of running away; if they did, who would feed them?!

Speaking of food, it smells delicious!

The three giants twitched their noses in unison, then rolled over or sat up.

There was food just a dozen meters ahead!

They were about twenty meters apart, one on the left and one on the right.

It smells so good! Did you eat early today? And it smells so good?

I'm eating and eating and eating and eating!

Trolls' brains aren't capable of deep thought; their bodies are several steps ahead of their minds. Before their brains can even process anything, their bodies have already pounced.

However, it's not easy to divide food between three giants!

At the same time, they pounced on the two giant monsters on the left and immediately began fighting.

The crocodile monster, its body bulging, stared intently at its prey, but its hand was already raised, ready to deliver a super-powerful, charged-up slap to the fish monster squeezing alongside it.

The giant fish was knocked back by the slap and fell two body lengths behind.

Just as the crocodile giant was about to reach for its food, the fish giant grabbed the crocodile giant's leg and dragged it backward.

In the blink of an eye, both giants fell down and rolled into a heap.

Both sides wanted to reach for the food, but they also tried to stop each other.

It was a brutal, bone-crunching fight, more thrilling than being in an octagonal cage! The sound of fists colliding with faces was deafening!

On the other side, the salt-baked giant had no one arguing with it and had already stuffed the food into its mouth.

That's like Pigsy biting into a ginseng fruit, which went straight down his throat, but he didn't even get a taste.

It is the strongest of the three giants, covered in thick salt armor, making it a size larger than the other two. It has also been the most powerful in battles for food.

After smacking his tongue and finishing his own portion, he turned his attention to another dish.

The two giants also saw the salt-baked giant running over, and without caring about anything else, they grabbed whatever they could and stuffed it into their mouths!

"Oh no!" Hermione whispered, "They each ate a portion!"

Ted comforted him, "Now we can only wait and see how it goes!"

To be honest, even Ted himself wasn't sure.

Given the troll's size and innate magic resistance, it's really hard to say how effective the Water of Life and Death will be.

Giants eat almost anything in the wild, so their digestive abilities and resistance are definitely top-notch.

The three giants fought over food.

But since all the food had been eaten, the fighting spirit was low, and they quickly calmed down.

The three giants lay down on the ground again.

The salt-baked giant seemed to be unable to hold on any longer; its eyelids were drooping. Soon, it emitted a whirring sound like a tractor engine.

The other two also started to feel drowsy, but they managed to stay awake, their eyes rolling back as they didn't fall completely asleep.

"There's no other way, we'll just have to try. Harley, Jerry, and I will each take action against our targets. The rest of you, get ready. If the troll is alerted, use spells like Slide Smooth or Levitate to restrain it. Remember, don't use any magic spells on the troll, it won't work."

Ted let go of his friends' hands and began to move towards the crocodile monster.

Although they couldn't see each other, the three of them, including Ted, were actually tiptoeing towards the giant.

Due to his racial talent, Jerry moved almost silently, with light and swift steps, and was the first to approach his target, the giant fish.

This thing is covered in slime and looks disgusting.

Even though the Bubble Head Curse covered his head and he couldn't smell anything, Jerry still grimaced in disgust.

On the fish-giant's chest, there is a flat metal piece about the size of a palm; this is part of the key.

Jerry carefully adjusted his position, leaned out, reached out, and quietly picked it up...

Ted's target was the Crocodile Giant, which, like the Fish Giant, was in a light sleep state, half-asleep. It looked asleep, but its facial expression would occasionally twitch, and its limbs would fidget restlessly—in short, it was very dangerous.

After Ted got closer, he cast a levitation spell on the key component.

It worked! Professor Quirrell didn't do anything with the key.

Ted used a cutting charm on the rope holding the key component, silently severing it and controlling the key component to fly into his hand.

Harley, the last one, targets the salt-baked troll who is sleeping the most soundly.

This thing has a layer of white salt crystals on its surface, which is harder than stone and extremely rough. At this moment, its snoring is so loud that it can be heard if you get close.

Because Neville and his friends weren't particularly agile and couldn't compare to Harley in this regard, she volunteered to take the risk.

She quietly cut the rope, then stood on tiptoe and stretched out her arm, only to find she still couldn't reach it. So she reached out her wand, slipped it into the hole in the key component, and lifted it up...

Just as Ted had obtained the key component, carefully stepped back, and turned to leave, the crocodile monster behind him suddenly opened its eyes, a transparent nictitating membrane twitching across its eyeballs!

"Roar~~~" In an instant, the roar resounded throughout the entire space.
