By the time the two of them slowly walked over, the human-headed, lion-bodied, scorpion-tailed beast had regained its composure.
It looked at Lu Wei who was following behind with his teeth bared, and took another step back.
"That fool isn't hostile," it said. "You know Hagrid?"
"He is my professor." Kyle said, standing still. "We came here late at night because we heard that you were injured... We want to help you."
"help me?"
"That's right." Kyle nodded, took a look at its bandaged hind legs and said, "We have a lot of experience in treating this kind of bite, and we are absolutely professional."
Newt also took out a bottle of powder in time and walked to the side of the front legs of the manticore.
That place had just been bitten by Lu Wei and was bleeding continuously.
Feeling the pain from the wound, the human-headed sphinx-body scorpion-tailed beast couldn't help but curse Lu Wei again.
If I had known, I would not have followed Hagrid here. He also said that the three-headed dog could protect it from being disturbed by other creatures during its recovery period... What kind of protection is that? It would rather face those big spiders now...
Newt pushed aside its thick fur and sprinkled the powder on the wound.
This powder was specially prepared for fire dragons when Newt went to Rome. It is a mixture of white cumin essence and a variety of different herbs, and even a drop of phoenix tears.
It is useful against fire dragons, and naturally it is no problem against human-headed sphinxes and scorpion-tailed beasts as well.
Soon, the bleeding stopped.
The pain gradually disappeared... The manticore looked at Newt in surprise.
Hagrid changed the herbs for several days, but the healing effect was not as good as in just a few minutes.
"I told you, we are professionals." Kyle said with a smile and took out a fresh beef leg.
Lu Wei came over immediately, twitching his nose hard and drooling all over the floor.
"It's not your place."
Kyle slapped the middle one on the head and said, "You bit someone and you still have the nerve to come and eat? Go away."
Lu Wei felt a little aggrieved, but he still obediently lay on the ground and covered his eyes and nose with his claws.
Out of sight, out of mind.
But it has three heads, and its two front paws are obviously not enough. The middle head can only close its eyes and stick its nose into a hollow tree stump next to it.
Seeing Lu Wei's appearance, the mood of the human-headed sphinx-body scorpion-tailed beast suddenly improved a lot. When tearing the cow's legs, it deliberately made a loud noise.
Lu Wei covered his ears again.
While the manticore was eating the cow's leg, Newt removed its bandages and began to apply medicine again.
The bleeding of the wound stopped and the food was eaten again. Its attitude towards Kyle and Newt became more friendly, and it even took the initiative to chat with Newt.
His emotions are as stable as the Sphinx, and there is no sign of a "violent personality" at all.
From late night to early morning.
As the sky got brighter, Kyle, who had stayed in the Forbidden Forest all night, prepared to leave. Today was Monday and he still had classes to attend.
Newt decided to stay for a while. He originally wanted to send Kyle out of the Forbidden Forest and then come back, but Fluffy followed him first, so he gave up the idea.
After leaving the messy bushes, Kyle looked at Lu Wei who was feeling a little depressed, and quietly took out three dried warthog legs.
Lu Wei's eyes suddenly lit up and he began to drool again.
"Eat it quickly, this thing is much more delicious than beef leg..." Kyle patted its head.
Lu Wei immediately pounced over excitedly, ate it all in just a few bites, and licked his lips with satisfaction.
Kyle pulled out three more.
This was a small snack he prepared for Norbert. Although it was not enough to fill Lou Williams up, it could still satisfy his craving.
After feeding Fluffy, Kyle took him to the depression where the eight-eyed giant spider was.
Before returning to the castle, he had to collect his spoils.
But when they got closer, Kyle unexpectedly saw a tall figure.
It was Hagrid. He was talking to Aragog. As the old spider spoke, he was gesticulating with his hands and looking very excited.
"... the little wizard... is immoral... came to attack... to extort venom..."
Kyle twitched his lips.
He thought of many possibilities, breaking the contract, ambushing and attacking, but he never expected that the old spider would actually go to Hagrid to complain.
He just asked for a dozen pints of venom, is that a lot?
After all, it is a 5X-level magical creature. If you can’t beat it, you just complain. Do you really have no shame at all?
Kyle took a deep breath and patted the excited Lu Wei, "Run over here, make a few laps and come back."
Lu Wei didn't quite understand, but he still did as he was told... and ran out with a bang.
"Fluffy?" Hagrid also noticed it and shouted, "Why are you here? Stop now..."
Lu Wei paused for a moment, but soon started running again.
Hagrid immediately left Aragog behind and chased after him without looking back.
"Don't run, Lu Wei...what's wrong with you?"
After they walked away, Kyle came out with a gloomy face, holding a large flower pot in his hand.
A dozen giant eight-eyed spiders immediately surrounded him.
"Human..." The old spider said with a smug voice. "You'd better leave here quickly. Hagrid said you are not allowed to come to the Forbidden Forest.
If you leave now, I can pretend I know nothing."
"What about my stuff?" Kyle asked.
"What the hell..." The old spider waved its big claws, obviously preparing to deny its debt.
"Hagrid is nearby, and the dragon's movements are enough to attract his attention. If you don't want to get into trouble, you'd better leave quickly."
Kyle narrowed his eyes. "So you're not planning on spending tomorrow, are you? Hagrid can't be here watching all the time..."
"We will file a complaint in the castle," said the old spider. "You are also not allowed to keep dragons. I know that..."
"I see." Kyle narrowed his eyes. "Since you put it that way, I'll try a more reasonable approach."
Kyle pulled out his wand.
"wizard!"
Aragog couldn't see it, but a giant Acromantula next to it immediately stood up, "Use magic... Are you going to fight us?"
"Start a war? Of course not. I just feel a little cold."
In front of all the eight-eyed giant spiders, Kyle simply conjured a pair of earmuffs for himself and put them on, then put away his wand and used his free hands to grab a clump of grass on the flowerpot in his arms.
He looked around and made sure there was no one else nearby...
"Well, how about listening to some music?"
After saying that, Kyle exerted force and pulled the mandrake out of the pot.
A shrill scream rang out in the Forbidden Forest... The surrounding eight-eyed giant spiders struggled for only a moment before collapsing to the ground one after another.
It took Kyle a few seconds to put the mandrake back in.
It wasn’t long enough for the eight-eyed giant spiders to die, but it was long enough for them to sleep for a while.
When the sound stopped, among the eight-eyed giant spiders present, only Aragog and some larger ones could still stand.
"How is it? Does it sound good?"
Kyle looked at the old spider and said, “By the way, I still have more than a dozen pots of mandrakes like this one, enough for you to hold a concert.
Plus, it's completely legal, and as long as the person you're playing against isn't a wizard, it doesn't matter if you're discovered."
