Chapter 67 Water Horse
The curse hit the man's chest and sent him flying.

The man fell into the mud on the bank with a thud, blood gushing from his chest.

Hermione: (っ°Д°;)っ

You are too decisive to make a move!
But before she could react, the figure of the handsome man gradually changed.The originally handsome face gradually elongated, from a man's face to a ferocious horse face, and his body also became a mixture of human, fish, and horse.

It let out a shrill roar, and then wanted to rush towards Lu Ren and the others again, but was hit by Lu Ren's next spell.

"Confringo!

A wave of air lifted the monster, and it was blown to the shore.

Lu Ren didn't give the monster time to react, so he raised his hand and cast a few blasting spells.The spells bombarded its body one after another, blasting it into several bloody pieces.

The monster that was blown to pieces was naturally dead.

After death, the monster showed its original shape, which was in the shape of a horse, but there were some strange patterns on the horse's front legs, and its tail was like an ox's tail.

Lu Ren leaned the boat against the shore and jumped onto the shore with one stride.At this time, the monster has completely died, only the remnant body is still trembling slightly: this is a normal phenomenon. At this time, the monster's nerve endings have not died, and it can also be said to be the last gasp of the soul.

Seeing the appearance of the monster, Lu Ren remembered that such a monster was recorded in "Shan Hai Jing Bei Shan Jing", it was called "water horse", "water skiing out of the way... there are many water horses, which look like horses, Wenarm oxtail, its sound is like a call." It is the record of it.

And this monster is exactly the same as the description of the water horse.

Hermione also leaned over, and she saw the remains of the water horse and recognized it: "This is the water horse (Aughisky)! I've seen its record in "Celtic Myths and Legends"! The water horse will take advantage of the victims The attacker inadvertently took her into the water, then tore the victim's body apart and devoured the entire body except for the liver.

Water horses are ridden like ordinary horses in the dry inland, but as long as the water horse sees water or smells water, it means the end of the rider's life. "

"Yes, this kind of animal was also recorded in the "Shan Hai Jing" in my hometown, but there is no such detailed record. And I am afraid that the meat tastes mediocre."

Hermione & Harry: (⊙⊙)
What a coincidence, you also have myths and legends about this kind of animal. Although you don't quite understand what the last sentence means, it's a coincidence that it's over.

"Three Humming Sutra?" Ron didn't quite understand why the book was called by this name.

Lu Ren: ...

'I'm too lazy to explain to you. '

Although Lu Ren really wanted to say that, in order to make everyone's friendship last longer, he patiently explained to Ron what the Classic of Mountains and Seas is.

Ron was lost in thought, and he seemed to understand. "Shan Hai Jing feels a bit like the oriental version of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", but from your description, why does this book look so much like a cookbook?"

Lu Ren:? ? ?
"You said it yourself. You mentioned a large number of animals and what is the effect of eating them. I think this is actually quite like a recipe..."

Lu Ren: ...

Seems right?Some are hard to refute.

The animals recorded in Shan Hai Jing can be roughly divided into three types: animals that exist in reality, animals that have real prototypes but are legendary, and animals that are artificially imagined.And no matter what kind of animal it is, it is often to introduce the place of origin, appearance, sound, and then what is the effect of eating it, or the taste of the meat, or whether it is poisonous...

As for the lack of explanation at all, I am afraid that the taste is mediocre-just like people will not find a way to describe the taste of rice, of course, it may be that the author wants to eat alone.

And both Eastern and Western myths mention this kind of creature, so it is worth deliberating.Perhaps in ancient times, the distribution of magical animals in the East and West was more common.

Lu Ren looked at the big pool of blood flowing on the ground. Having watched many wilderness survival programs, he knew that this place was no longer safe.This water horse doesn't look like a creature at the top of the food chain, and its blood may attract other powerful monsters.

Theoretically, Lu Ren should run away immediately, but he felt a little pity when he saw the meat of the water horse, which was full of regular patterns like a salmon - the meat looked really good.

So he decided to take a gamble, and with a wave of his wand, he cut a large piece of flesh from the water horse's belly, and then returned to the boat.Fortunately, the next patrol did not cause any trouble.

When the sun was about to set, Lu Ren and the others arrived at the agreed meeting place.Hagrid was already there waiting.

To say more, the Black Lake is quite big.Lu Ren and the others went to Hagrid's hut in the afternoon. They started patrolling by boat before four o'clock, and the patrol was completed before the sun went down.It seems to be very fast, but the sunset time in Scotland in September is 8:[-] pm. They rowed for more than three hours. Lu Ren was exhausted like a dog, and Harry and the others were behind rowing.

"Welcome back, how is the adventure going?" Hagrid asked with a feigned briskness after seeing Lu Ren and the others come back, heaving a sigh of relief.

If you don't come back, I will have to go to the lake to find you!
He was actually more worried than Lu Ren and the others themselves.He has a deep understanding of the Black Lake, and he knows that there are dangers everywhere—of course, it's quite safe if you don't go into the water.But there is no way, the rules are the rules, and confinement is punitive. Professor McGonagall found him and asked him to confine Lu Ren and the others, so he can't release the water.

Hagrid, who was worried, rowed the boat out of the speed of the yacht, which made him end his patrol early.

At this time, Professor McGonagall was working in her office. When she raised her head and looked at the setting sun outside, she thought that there were three students in her college who were in confinement.

"It's not a big problem, Hagrid will definitely release the water." Professor McGonagall comforted himself in his heart, believing that Hagrid could also understand his hint.

Professor McGonagall: <(￣︶￣)> The plan works!
"I just finished lighting the fire. We'll have dinner before we go patrolling the Forbidden Forest." As he spoke, Hagrid poked a small fire beside him with a small log to make it more powerful.

Lu Ren and the others naturally agreed.

Everyone went to collect some dead leaves and lightly covered the fire. Hagrid also took out some dry firewood from the package and added them.

The fire went up.Hagrid took out a big black fish from the boat, and Lu Ren also went to fetch the meat of the water horse.

"Oh, you also harvested prey? Let me see...it seems to be the meat of the water horse?" Hagrid glanced curiously and identified the source of the meat.

"This meat is very delicious when eaten raw, and it tastes good when roasted." Hagrid directly took out a small knife, cut a small piece of meat and put it in his mouth to chew.

Lu Ren also cut a little bit and tasted it. The meat was not like horse meat, but more like salmon. It didn't have the earthy smell of freshwater fish, but it had a faint sweet fragrance.

Now he regrets that he only took such a small piece of meat back.

Lu Ren: (;д｀)ゞ
