There are two canteens in the entire St. Mungo's Hospital, one of which is located in the inpatient department, and the other is located in the waiting area. Judging from the distance, the children should go to the one in the inpatient department.
Xing Ze asked Arthur to take a look at the waiting area. Since most of the crowds were rushing to the foyer, there would probably be a lot of guards there to ensure safety, at least it would be much safer than the inpatient department.
"Arthur Weasley," the eldest lady said, "I remember that he is pretty good. Why not let him go with us?"
“It will be safer to go to the front hall. You also saw the two guards.”
"
"Don't forget, they still have a certain amount of magic resistance." Ellie also walked over,
"Did you bring a handkerchief?"
The eldest lady took out a delicate handkerchief from her pocket and handed it over. Xing Ze took the handkerchief and wiped it on the ground, then picked it up and looked at it.
There is some transparent viscous liquid in the handkerchief, just like glue. Xing Ze can notice the smell of snake grass venom without smelling it carefully.
"It looks like egg white." The eldest lady frowned.
Xing Ze straightened up, pointed at the transparent mucus on the ground and said: "It was left by the lizard man. Look in the direction, it has also gone to the inpatient department."
"This is not good news." Ellie waved her hand and looked at the handkerchief with disgust, "I gave it to you."
The hospital's canteen was empty, with several shelves falling to the ground and merchandise scattered all over the floor. Judging from the door that was knocked open, it was obvious that the snake man had been here.
"I can smell that disgusting smell, that thing must have been here." Ellie started looking around, "Be vigilant."
The canteen was not big, and Ellie quickly checked all the places. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "At least those children haven't been here."
"I'm afraid you are wrong." Xing Ze took out a pair of glasses from under a shelf, "They have been here."
At this moment, a sharp cry came out, and the eldest lady rushed out first, followed closely by Xing Ze.
"This way." Xing Ze confirmed the direction and walked away quickly.
The scream came from an empty ward. When the two arrived, they did not find the lizard man, but found the source of the scream - Hermione.
These children were hiding behind a bed, and Harry was talking to the ceiling with his head raised. His words and tone were strange, and Xing Ze had never heard them before.
However, the eldest lady did recognize that strange language. She whispered: "Parseltongue."
The children saw Xing Ze. Fred was still relatively calm. He quietly pointed at the ceiling with his finger. Xing Ze glanced upward slightly and saw the monster, with a white body covered with scales and a scarlet snake.
Letters come in and out.
It seemed to be attracted by Harry, focusing all its attention on the boy. It didn't even notice Xing Ze and Ai Li coming in.
Xing Ze pointed at the monster with his wand, and so did Ellie. No large-scale magic could be used in the ward, so the two chose powerful, targeted spells.
The magic spear came from Xing Ze, and the binding lasso came from Ellie, but of the two magic spells, only the lasso hit, and the spear dodged.
Compared with the lizard man we encountered before, this white lizard man seems to be stronger and more agile, which can be seen from the two guards who just died.
The wizard whose throat was ripped out was thrown aside casually. It was not easy to throw away an adult like this.
As for the guard he was checking, although the magic robe he wore was not high-end goods, it was more than enough to at least withstand some ordinary sword damage.
But the claw marks that killed him directly tore off his clothes. There were only two possibilities, either the lizard man was strong enough and his claws were sharp enough, or it could break the magic.
Judging from the sharp claws attacking him, Xing Ze was more willing to believe in the first possibility. The lasso failed to completely restrain the monster, and it hissed and turned over to attack Xing Ze.
The young wizard ducked low and rolled on the spot to block the children. The lasso used by the eldest lady was true. The monster just now was not attracted to Harry. Its slightly arched back and constant hesitation
Snake letters are all precursors of attack.
As for why it was reluctant to take action, perhaps it was trying to determine whether Harry was of its kind. Therefore, judging from its sensitive reactions and quick speed, it was obviously impossible to hit it with a single magic.
The binding lasso is like a fishing net, one of the few area magics that can be used at this time.
"Calling magic power." Xing Ze shouted, and then quickly rushed towards the monster.
"You don't need to say it!" the eldest lady responded unceremoniously. She used her magic power to make the noose bigger.
The monster obviously had some wisdom. It immediately changed its target and headed towards Ellie. However, Xing Ze did not let it succeed. He kicked the side of the monster and kicked it away.
Ellie's lasso was finally completed, and the lizard man struggled violently, its mouth full of sharp teeth opening and closing, and hissing continued.
"It's asking for help!" Harry suddenly shouted. He looked quite weak. He probably used too much Parseltongue and caused a lot of mental damage to him.
Xing Ze frowned slightly. He heard the rustling sound coming from above his head. The ventilation duct! This thought suddenly flashed through his head.
"Ellie, get out of the way!" he warned, but a shadow jumped out from the pipe exit above Ellie's head.
The speed of that thing was so fast that Xing Ze had no time to rescue her, even though he rushed to Ellie immediately.
At the critical moment, the shadow was hit by something, and with a loud crackling sound, the attacker froze. This time was enough for Xing Ze.
The blue beak turned into a long whip and wrapped around the lizard monster. With Xing Ze's tug, the monster was pulled over.
It tried to resist, but was kicked in the face by Xing Ze and knocked unconscious.
It should be the last one. Xing Ze exhaled heavily and called to the children: "Come on, leave here and go to the foyer. Mr. Weasley is waiting for you there."
After the children left, Xing Ze looked at the monster in the net. It was still struggling. Ellie increased the input of magic power to make the noose stronger.
"Any ideas?"
Xing Ze frowned, and the blue beak turned into a black blade and stabbed into the monster's head.
"What a simple and clear answer."
Just when Xing Ze was about to kill the remaining lizard man, he found that it was no longer breathing.
