Chapter 39 Soft-clawed land shrimp, invisible beast and bird snake

Fifth Avenue, Macy's Department Store Building.

This is a decent building with a bright appearance. The huge floor-to-ceiling transparent windows are filled with gorgeously dressed models. Expensive jewelry, shoes, hats and perfumes can be seen everywhere in the aisles.In order to welcome the arrival of Christmas, warm Christmas decorations are decorated everywhere in the department store.

With a few crackling sounds, figures from Elrohir and others appeared in front of the department store.

Jacob shook his head to get rid of the dizziness caused by the Apparition, and then asked Elrohir: "Did you just say that the goblin with the hooked nose ate something?"

"It's up to you, Newt," Elrohir said.

"The big lobster that Narlak ate just now is actually not an ordinary lobster, but a type of magical animal." Newt organized his words, "If I read it correctly, it should be a soft-clawed land shrimp. "

Tina looked at Newt in surprise: "I thought you didn't miss any magical animals."

"To be honest, I didn't know there was such a magical animal in the box, let alone how it escaped." Newt said, "So it shouldn't be my animal."

Elrohir said: "I can testify to this. I have never seen that kind of lobster in a box before. Of course, I am referring to the way it looked before it was alive. It seems that even the light gray magic lobster is steamed. The shell will also turn red.”

Tina asked Newt: "What's going on with this soft-clawed shrimp?"

"It's a soft-clawed land shrimp." Newt corrected her. "It's a land animal that mainly lives on the rocky coasts of Europe. Under normal circumstances, its meat is inedible."

"Why?" Jacob asked curiously.

"The meat of soft-clawed land shrimp is inedible. Not only is it difficult to digest, but it can also cause green rashes and a high fever that can make people unconscious." Elohir said, "People bitten by soft-clawed land shrimp will also develop... A week of bad luck.”

Jacob was horrified. He was not worried about the green rash, but he was afraid of the "high fever". The Spanish flu a few years ago caused the darkest month in the history of the United States. At least 20 people died in that October. Die. Spanish Flu in the Fall of 1918

Newt saw Jacob's worry and comforted him: "Don't worry, Jacob, this kind of high fever is not contagious, and we wizards also have special potions to deal with this condition."

"Actually, what I'm more concerned about is how such magical animals came to the United States," Elrohir stroked Deborah's back, "Aren't you curious about Cat Mata, and the soft-clawed land shrimp, obviously There was another group of wizards who came to North America with magical animals, and their range of activities was just as wide.”

Everyone turned their attention to Tina. After all, she was a woman who worked in the "Wand Licensing Office" and should have some knowledge of all wizards going to the United States.

Facing the expectations of several people, Tina said with some embarrassment: "I don't know, I have been busy with Second Salem recently and rarely go to the office to work."

"We'd better go inside, I've long wanted to go shopping in the No-Maj department store," Queenie said in time, alleviating her sister's embarrassment.

"Look, that bag has moved." Elrohir pointed to the handbag hanging in mid-air. It was pulled by a transparent force towards the depths of the store. "We have indeed found the right place. The invisible beast is here. Here. And I have another piece of good news, this is the building where I saw traces of Dougal’s activity before.”

Led by Elrohir, a group of people walked into the store quietly.

Newt hid behind a cluster of plastic decorations, stared at the levitating handbag and whispered: "Invisible beasts are basically very peaceful, but if they are provoked, they will bite."

At this moment, the invisible invisible beast suddenly appeared. It was an animal similar to an orangutan, with long silver-white hair all over its body and a curious, wrinkled face.

"It can see into high-probability events, so it can foresee the most likely near-future segments, so it is difficult to capture." Newt continued, "But because of their extremely high-value fur, they want to capture There is still an endless stream of animal hunters of invisible beasts.”

There was a roar from the ceiling, and the invisible beast stopped collecting candies and hurried towards a staircase.

The five people followed the invisible beast and arrived at the top floor of the department store.

It was a large, dimly lit loft space filled with shelves from floor to ceiling crammed with boxes of china: cutlery, tea sets, and various kitchen items.

The invisible beast walked in the attic under a patch of moonlight. It first looked around, then stopped and poured all the candies in the handbag onto the ground. Then it picked up one of them and raised it high above its head.

"What is it doing?" Tina asked softly.

"It's taking care of a mother," Newt said. "Dougal."

Newt walked forward calmly, knelt beside the invisible beast, and put the box down. Elrohir, Tina, Queenie, and Jacob followed quietly.

Newt opened the suitcase.

On the ceiling, the face of a bird snake appeared. It was huge and coiled in circles, occupying almost the entire space of the attic. This was the natural ability of the bird snake that would habitually fill all the space.

The invisible beast handed over the candy, and Dougal stretched out his beak and pecked it and swallowed it.

"Long time no see, Dugor." Elrohir greeted easily. He knew that the bird-snake mother could understand this sentence.

But Newt is obviously more popular than Elrohir.

Dougal saw Newt and poked his head toward him.

Newt stretched out a hand and called softly, "Come here, I'm here."

Suddenly, a dazzling blue light flashed in the eyes of the invisible beast standing nearby, and a premonition of the future quickly appeared in its mind: a dark red Christmas ball ornament rolled across the ground, and Dougal was stimulated and became Nervous, Newt reached out to grab its back, but was thrown across the room.

In an instant, the invisible beast's pupils turned back to their original brown color.

Queenie looked at the beautiful and elegant bird and snake, and walked forward absentmindedly. There happened to be a Christmas trinket at her feet.

"Be careful not to make any noise, Dougal doesn't like that." Elrohir grabbed Queenie's arm and pointed to the ornaments on the floor.

The invisible beast that was about to pounce on Jacob suddenly stopped. The future it predicted was changed. The most likely future was changed.

It was this human invisible beast that looked at Elrohir, walked over and grabbed the corner of his clothes.

"Well" Elrohir looked at the invisible beast strangely. Is this another magical animal attracted by its charisma? Why didn't it receive such treatment when it was in the suitcase before?

At this time, Newt had successfully comforted Dougal and led him back to the suitcase.

Tina breathed a sigh of relief: "Tell me the truth, everyone who ran out of the box has been found."

"Everyone who will cause trouble has been found." Newt told the truth.
