Emma Hughes also pricked up her ears and listened carefully to the sounds around her.
After a long while, the three of them looked at each other. Although they didn't want to, they had to admit that they seemed to have lost Green Treasure.
Wentworth said angrily: "This idiot! Doesn't it look back to see if its owner is catching up?!"
Emma Hughes said with some gloating: "Perhaps, it doesn't regard you as its real master? Perhaps, in its eyes, you are just a long-term meal ticket! And now, it has sensed the breath of its real master, so it naturally left you behind and went to find its real master!"
Not bothering to pay attention to Emma Hughes's ridicule, Wentworth lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head, looked into the depths of the fog, and said thoughtfully:
"Tell me, if two people get separated in a maze-like place, where is the easiest place to meet?!"
Hearing Wentworth's question, Emma Hughes and Taketsugi Uesugi fell into deep thought at the same time.
Wentworth turned to look at Uesugi Taketsukoshi and said softly, "If we get separated in the maze, how are you going to find me?"
Hearing what Wentworth said, Uesugi Taketsu immediately perked up. She showed her two dimples and said with a smile, "I will definitely wait for you at the exit of the maze! It's too easy to miss you if I look for you in the maze! But at the exit of the maze, you will never be missed!"
After hearing Uesugi Taketsukune's answer, Wentworth smiled slightly, and then said meaningfully: "That's right! If this island is compared to a maze, where do you think the exit is?"
Hearing Wentworth's question, Uesugi Taketsuko and Emma Hughes said almost in unison:
“The top of an extinct volcano!”
Wentworth nodded, then stood up and said:
"Let's go! Don't keep Mr. Newt waiting!"
Afterwards, Wentworth and his two companions continued on their journey. Having taken the insomnia potion, they were no longer affected by the hypnotic effect of the thick fog and their speed increased greatly.
Led by Emma Hughes, the three followed the smell of sulfur and continued to move deeper into the fog.
However, not long after they moved forward, Emma Hughes, who was leading the way, stopped again and even gestured to Wentworth and Uesugi Taketsuko to be careful.
Seeing this, Wentworth and Taketsugi drew their wands at the same time. Wentworth said with some caution:
"What's wrong? What happened?!"
Emma Hughes pricked up her ears and listened carefully, saying:
"There's a sound! It seems... to be a small insect or something."
Hearing Emma Hughes' words, Wentworth's eyes lit up and he quickly said, "Could it be Green Treasure? That idiot finally realized that it had lost me and came back to find me?!"
But Emma Hughes shook her head with certainty, and said with a serious look: "No, it's definitely not, because there are too many voices!"
As they were talking, a rustling sound gradually reached the ears of Wentworth and Uesugi Taketsuna.
Then, the sounds became more and more frequent, and a moment later, countless tiny unknown insects, like a swarm of locusts, rushed out of the fog towards Wentworth and others.
Uesugi Takeza and Wentworth looked at each other, then Wentworth grabbed Emma Hughes and ran back.
While running, Wentworth drew out his wand and pointed it behind him:
A fire dragon shot up into the sky, instantly illuminating the fog.
On the other side of the island, Vitali from Kodosdoriz, Russia, who was moving forward cautiously, also saw the flames rising into the sky. He couldn't help but mutter to himself in surprise: "Who is in trouble?! But... hehe, this is the Magic School Potions Championship. All tests should be solved with potions. Using spells? What kind of skill is that!"
However, before the sneer on Vitali's face faded away, Vitali was stunned. A triangular snake head suddenly appeared beside him.
At this moment, the flower snake's pair of triangular eyes were staring at Vitali coldly.
Not only that, the sudden, dense "rustling" sounds all around clearly reminded Vitali that more little cuties were coming towards him.
A moment later, Wentworth and his companions who were fleeing in a panic looked in another direction almost at the same time, and saw faint flames in the thick fog in that direction, and smoke rising from the ground.
Wentworth and Uesugi Taketsu looked at each other, then Wentworth looked at Emma Hughes and asked, "Emma, how many little cuties are there in the back? Can you tell?"
After hearing Wentworth's question, Emma Hughes shook her head with certainty.
Emma explained:
"It's so noisy in the back that I can't tell how many there are!"
After hearing what Emma Hughes said, Wentworth was considering whether to cast a large Fiery Curse to burn those little cuties following him to death, but Emma Hughes added:
"Although I don't know exactly how many there are, I am sure that they stretch for at least more than one kilometer!"
After hearing what Emma Hughes said, Wentworth immediately gave up the idea of turning back, and the three of them had to continue running in another direction.
Just when the three Wentworths and Vitali were all in trouble, on South Iwo Jima, Dumbledore was chatting with Leila Lopez and others.
Just as Dumbledore picked up the teacup in front of him and wanted to moisten his throat, he found that the water in the teacup was empty! Yuan Changkong, who was standing by, saw this and clapped his hands. Then, a young man in a Japanese magic school uniform came in with a magic wand in his hand and several cups of new tea floating in front of him. He replaced the tea in front of the many guests present one by one.
When this student from the School of Magic walked in front of Dumbledore and Leila Lopez, he deliberately lowered his head to show respect.
Seeing this, Leila Lopez sincerely admired Yuan Changkong beside her:
"Great magic control. Your school is really full of talented people!"
At this time, Yuan Changkong looked at his student in front of him with a hint of doubt on his face. In response to Leila Lopez's praise, he just smiled perfunctorily, his eyes always on the student wearing the magic school uniform.
At this moment, Dumbledore slowly picked up the new tea in front of him and was about to put it into his mouth.
“Bang!”
Suddenly, a Shattering Curse came and hit the teacup in Dumbledore's hand.
This sudden change scared everyone, and many wizards subconsciously drew their wands.
However, when everyone looked in the direction where the spell came from, they were surprised to find that the person who had just made the move was actually the Hogwarts Potions professor - Severus Snape!
