Zhang Qiu walked forward and easily pulled the ring on the trap door.

The door creaked open slowly.

“What’s down there?” Hermione asked curiously.

“It was pitch black, and I couldn’t see anything.”

Ye Ting waved his hand, and the rose lantern floated down.

The purple light dispelled the darkness and illuminated the space below.

“The bottom seems to be… a devil’s snare?”Zhang Qiu quickly identified it.

As expected of a future seeker, his vision is as sharp as an eagle’s.

“”I know about Devil’s Snare,” Hermione immediately turned into a knowledgeable little expert and recited the contents of the book skillfully.”A mature Devil’s Snare can stretch out snake-like vines and tightly wrap around any creature that approaches, causing damage or even fatal danger. This plant prefers dark and humid environments, so light and warmth are its nemesis.……”

“Wow, the freshmen nowadays are really amazing!” Zhang Qiu glanced at Hermione in surprise and exclaimed,”I remember that the knowledge about the Devil’s Snare should be learned in the second half of the first grade.-?”

“Well… I have memorized all the textbooks.” Hermione-“shy” smile

“”Okay, don’t waste time, let’s go down directly.” Ye Ting urged.

Before others could react, he jumped down without hesitation.

Then, the others also plucked up their courage and followed him to jump down.

Plop.

With a strange and dull crash, Susan felt that she had fallen on a soft object.

The plant seemed to come alive, and quickly stretched out snake-like vines, tightly wrapped around her ankles.

Except for her, everyone’s legs were bound by those long vines.

Susan panicked and tried to break free from the vines, but the more she struggled, the tighter the vines became.

“”Don’t move, Susan.” Ye Ting reminded,”The more you move, the tighter the devil’s net will be!”

Hearing Ye Ting’s words, Susan stopped struggling obediently.

Then she was surprised to find that the binding force of the vine seemed to have eased a little.

“”Dazzling light trick!”

Ye Ting snapped his fingers, and in an instant, a ball of brilliant flames burst out before his eyes.

The flames were mixed with gold powder and ribbons, emitting a dazzling light like daylight.

The Devil’s Snare was obviously full of fear of the flames, and the binding force of the vines weakened again, and it retreated to the corner in fear.

The good times didn’t last long. When the light went out, the vines of the Devil’s Snare tightened their restraints again, as if to pull several people into the depths of darkness.

When Ye Ting lit the fire again, the Devil’s Snare would temporarily loosen.

In this way, Ye Ting kept lighting the light, and as the fire kept flickering and jumping under Ye Ting’s control, the vines of the Devil’s Snare also alternated between looseness and tightness, like a massage machine, giving everyone a different experience

“Oh my god, the Devil’s Snare actually has this kind of use?” Hermione felt that her worldview was completely destroyed. No one in the book mentioned this.

“This feeling… is not bad. You are worthy of being me, junior fellow student!” Zhang Qiu seemed to be enjoying it.

Even Susan made an embarrassing sound.

“I have an idea,” Ye Ting suddenly said,”I plan to take away some devil’s snares, which can be used to refine the potion I need!”

He paused and continued,”Besides, I also want to put a flower pot in the dormitory and plant some. I can enjoy massage service every day in the future”

“Leave some for me, junior.” Zhang Qiu complained bitterly,”I flew too long today for the Quidditch selection, and my waist is a bit uncomfortable.”

“Give me some too. I also want to grow potted plants.” Susan also said

“I want some too.” Hermione raised her hand shyly,”Don’t get me wrong… I want to study this plant in depth.”

“Haha, since everyone is so interested, let’s take all these devil’s snares away!”

Ye Ting waved his hand generously,”This thing is too dangerous, we can’t let it stay here to harm others. We are doing good deeds. Maybe Professor Dumbledore will thank us!”

These devil’s snares were not planted in the soil, but in a row of large flower pots, but the flower pots were placed in the corners and were covered by the lush devil’s snares.

This made it convenient for Ye Ting. He didn’t even have to spend time digging the roots of the devil’s snares. He just stuffed the devil’s snares into the boat hat and took them away with the pots. He didn’t even leave a pot for Professor Sprout.

Before leaving, Ye Ting mischievously left a graffiti on the wall that said”Snape was here.”

The others laughed, and then followed suit.

Zhang Qiu also wrote”I was here!”, but in Chinese characters.

Susan shyly ran to the corner of the wall, secretly drew a heart shape, and wrote the letters Y and S in it.

Hermione had more to write, so she found a spacious wall and carefully wrote down her suggestions:

“Professor, please do not plant such a dangerous Devil’s Snare here. Whether we are professors or students, we should strictly abide by the school rules of Hogwarts to ensure the safety of every little wizard.”

As expected of”Little McGonagall”, the tone was exactly the same as Professor McGonagall’s.

Next, Hermione began to write suggestions to other professors, including but not limited to Professor Binns, Professor Quirrell, Madam Pince, and even Snape. Her suggestion to Snape was not to focus only on Harry in class, but also to point to other people to answer questions – such as herself.

If Ye Ting had not urged her to leave, Hermione might have really filled the entire wall with her advice.

Finally, she solemnly signed her name – an ordinary first-year little wizard.

After leaving the empty Devil’s Net Gate, they stepped onto a stone-paved corridor.

This was his���The only path to the next destination.

In the corridor, besides the sound of their own footsteps, the only sound was the sound of water dripping slowly along the stone wall, echoing in the empty corridor.

“”Did you hear any strange noises?” Zhang Qiu suddenly asked in a low voice.

Ye Ting nodded slightly.

He inherited the senses of a werewolf and his hearing was better than Zhang Qiu’s.

He could detect the slight rustling and sporadic tinkling sounds coming from the front.

“Um… could there be a ghost hiding in front?” Susan’s voice trembled a little

“It doesn’t sound like a ghost.”Zhang Qiu listened for a while, thinking,”It sounds more like the sound of flapping wings.”

Several people hurried to the end of the corridor.

A brightly lit door came into view. Under the high vaulted ceiling, countless gem-like birds were dancing in the air, and the fluttering of their wings was colorful and beautiful.

However, upon closer inspection, they were not real birds, but countless winged keys.

At the other end of the room, a heavy old wooden door blocked their way.

Everyone approached curiously, and Hermione reached out to try the door handle, but found that the door was locked tightly and could not be opened.

Zhang Qiu then cast the [Alaho Opening Spell], but this time, the unlocking magic seemed to have lost its effect.

“It seems that the key to open the door is hidden in these flying keys.”Zhang Qiu said thoughtfully

“But… with so many keys, which one is it?” Susan looked at the keys in the air, feeling a little helpless.

“What we are looking for is a large antique key, probably silver, shaped like a door handle.” Hermione stared at the door lock, trying to find clues.

Zhang Qiu looked around the room, but did not find anything unusual.

She frowned and asked in confusion:”Strange, since Professor Dumbledore set up these levels, there is no reason for him not to prepare tools to grab the keys.”

“This may mean that this level is not yet fully ready.”Ye Ting analyzed

“What should I do now?”Zhang Qiu was a little anxious,”There are so many keys flying in the air. If I have a flying broom, maybe I can catch them.”

As the Seeker of Ravenclaw in the original book, Zhang Qiu is confident in his flying and catching abilities.

“Devil’s Snare!” Hermione was the first to think of a solution:”We can use the Devil’s Snare. With the power of the Devil’s Snare vines, we can definitely knock down all the keys!”

Hearing this, Ye Ting nodded slightly:”This is a good idea, but since we are wizards, why not use a simpler and more direct method?”

Wizards, of course, have to use magic to defeat magic.

Ye Ting raised his arm lightly, and the rose lantern immediately floated into the sky.

He whispered,”Rose lightning!”

As soon as the voice fell, the rose lantern suddenly burst into a dazzling purple light.

Then, lightning shot out from the lamp body like a spirit snake, accurately hitting the flying keys. (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Hermione’s eyes widened. She had seen Ye Ting’s unique lighting magic at the beginning of the school year and knew that it was not just a simple lighting tool.

However, at this moment, she realized that the rose lantern with full firepower was so terrifying.

The keys were all made of metal, which was the most attractive to electric current.

What’s worse, because they were flying too densely, the current was not completely consumed after hitting a key, but was directly transmitted to several nearby keys through the air, increasing the power. Add new victims.

Just like that, one to three, three to nine…

Just like a chain reaction, each time the current has to be transmitted for several rounds before it stops.

As a result, every time Rose’s lightning strikes, a large area is electrified.

The keys have no ability to resist the electric current. Once the electricity is connected, they cannot move and fall directly like raindrops.

Soon, the originally dense group of keys was completely cleared, leaving only a pile of metal scattered on the ground.

Several little wizards were dumbfounded and speechless for a long time.

Ye Ting walked calmly to the pile of keys and quickly picked out the one they needed.

It was not until then that the others came back to their senses from the shock.

Zhang Qiu’s eyes were full of envy, and he couldn’t help asking Ye Ting:”What kind of magic is this? It’s so shocking! I have never seen such a powerful spell. Can you teach me?”

“This is my innate magic, and it is not easy to master it.” Ye Ting had to explain,”However, if any of you want to learn some practical spells, you can come to me.”

Susan was worried about something else. She stared at the keys on the floor and said worriedly,”Is it really okay for us to do this? Will there be any problems if we knock down all the keys?”

“Don’t worry, Professor Flitwick will take care of it.” Ye Ting smiled easily,”He should be able to recast the spell and get everything back to normal.”

He also had his own opinion on this level:”To be honest, I think the professor’s level is a bit simple. If I were to design it, I would add [Fire Spell] and [Copy Spell] to these keys.】”

Ye Ting had just tried it, and these keys were all good enough to be collected, that is, as long as the collection ceremony was completed, these keys would become his possession.

Since they were his property, he certainly had the obligation to protect them well.

So, he planned to add some special protection measures to these keys.

After applying the [Fire Spell] and [Copy Spell], anyone who touched these keys would be burned by the fire, and the keys would be copied continuously, thus increasing the difficulty of finding the real keys. Anyway, the wizards who could pass Lu Wei were all very powerful.

However, now was not the best time for him to start the collection ceremony, after all, there were other people present.

These keys would stay here for the time being.

Ye Ting took the corresponding key and inserted it into the keyhole. As he twisted it hard, a crisp”click” sounded, and the door lock opened.

They pushed the door open carefully, and suddenly it was pitch black in front of them, and they could not see anything.

However, the moment they stepped into the room, a dazzling light suddenly lit up in the room, illuminating a shocking scene.

They stood beside a huge wizard chessboard. Two rows of black chess pieces towered over them, much taller than they were. They looked as if they were carved from obsidian and looked very majestic. At the other end of the room, there was a row of white marble chess pieces, quietly waiting for their opponent’s challenge.

“Looking at this situation, we have to play chess to move forward.”Susan looked at the white chess pieces without facial features on the opposite side, and her voice was trembling.

She was always worried along the way. If it wasn’t for Ye Ting, she would not have come here at all.

“Don’t rush, don’t jump to conclusions yet.” Hermione said calmly,”We can test the situation first.”

“”Good idea,” Zhang Qiu responded immediately, waving the magic wand in her hand,”Wingardium Leviosa!”

As the spell fell, a candlestick on the wall floated up and slowly floated across the huge chessboard under her control.

The black chess seemed to have no interest in the wooden board, but when the board approached the white chess, a white soldier suddenly jumped up and pierced the board with a spear in his hand.

“Well, it seems that we really have to play chess.” Zhang Qiu smiled helplessly,”And we may have to be chess pieces ourselves.”

“That should be the case,” Hermione nodded,”As long as we win this game of chess, the door to the opposite room should open for us.”

Ye Ting smiled and said,”This must be Professor McGonagall’s idea.”

“So, who will play chess?” Zhang Qiu looked around at his three companions and asked the key question.

“I’ll tell you in advance that I only know how to play Chinese chess.”

Susan and Hermione looked at each other, but no one spoke.

They were not interested in wizard chess.

“”Let me do it.” Ye Ting stood up without hesitation,”The rules of wizard chess are similar to those of chess, except that the pieces can move. When it comes to chess, the final battle is still intelligence. In this regard, I think I should be able to do a good job.”
