[Comprehensive Yingmei] I'm already a useless dragon

The other party's breath fell faintly on his face, and the distance was so close that Draco almost forgot what was going on for a while, and then he heard Ivan's subtle tone again, like a sigh, and like He whispered to himself, "Be careful."

The slightly warm breath passed through the close distance between them, and the moment he felt was already cooling down. Perhaps it was because the voice was lowered, and the voice that reached his ears carried a ray of almost imperceptible It was hoarse, but he captured it keenly.

However, he paid more attention to Ivan's tone.

That kind of whisper, which was almost like a sigh, seemed to have to stop because of his own weakness, and distracted himself to remind himself of the danger.

He stiffened his body, and even his expression froze. He took two steps aside and forced himself to say, "Thank you."

He thought with some annoyance that he must stay away from the other party next time.Draco really didn't want to see Ivan stop to help himself because of his own reasons, as if condescending.

At that moment, the thought that popped into his mind was that even if he quit the game, it would be better than being helped by him with such a low profile.

Ivan felt the repulsive breath emanating from almost every pore on his body, paused for a while without saying a word, then turned his attention away, and looked at the strange creature that appeared in front of them—the Sphinx, and Called the Sphinx.

A pair of Pegasus-like long wings are retracted, and a lion-like body bears a human-like head. It is really hard not to be afraid of its appearance.Even though they had already learned about the habits of these intelligent magical creatures as early as the summer classes.

Compared with the sphinx, the ten Hogwarts students in front of them all looked very short, as if they could be torn in half as long as the other party raised its front paw casually.

However, it didn't pounce ferociously at the first time. It just blocked their only way like an ordinary gatekeeper, raised its front paws and licked it. Under the gradually weakening light of the zenith, The long and sharp claws are still scary to see.

Its posture even looks a little leisurely, and the wizards not far from it can actually see a bit of elegance and calmness from its posture.

After carefully licking its front paws, it looked up at the group of children in front of it, and they realized that those eyes were also vertical pupils!

Once again, it is shown that it is a cold-blooded and murderous creature.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Dark Forest. I am the gatekeeper, and you must have heard of my existence." It spoke in a low voice, and even unconsciously showed a cruel smile on its lips meaning.

"If you want to pass through me, you must answer a question, otherwise, some of you may have to stay."

Sphinxes are usually male and think they are very intelligent, but they are also willing to ask questions from humans.However, those who are blocked by it on the way forward will be eaten by it if they do not answer.

A group of Hogwarts students looked at each other in dismay. After the senior Slytherin added another light-enhancing spell into the air, Gryffindor, Slytherin, and even the only Hufflepuff, were quite self-conscious. Take a step back.

The only Ravenclaw in the audience stood abruptly in front of the team, looking back at his teammates with shocked and bewildered expressions, completely unexpected that one day he would be recognized as a top student under such circumstances.

After Cedric subconsciously highlighted the two most knowledgeable people, seeing the blank faces on their faces when they turned their heads, he felt that it seemed a bit inappropriate for him to send his teammates off like this, so he took another half step back, Scratching his forehead, he explained in a low voice:

"It's okay, even if you answer wrong, everyone will face it with you."

Hearing his words, the sphinx in front of them had a murderous look in its eyes, and the smile on its lips uncontrollably widened.

Do these little wizards want to get through any other way?Then it really is—

I wish for it.

It has already let go of three teams, and there is a silent burning flame in its heart, which makes it want to leave one person in the last team anyway, or leave a piece of food.

It even imagined the prey being toyed with under its own claws, with nowhere to escape, and finally dying in despair.

Its gaze swept over these wizards one by one, and those who felt its gaze felt their scalps go numb, and secretly clenched their wands.

The sphinx's eyes lingered on Ivan for a while, and he always felt that he had smelled a strange smell, but when he went to look for it, he couldn't catch it anymore.

So it suppressed its curiosity about Ivan, and turned to think about the question it wanted to ask.

Remembering that it had been considerately changed to the English mode before, this time it played a small game for its own selfishness and made a strange sound.

It is really hard to think it is a language, if it is not that after it finished speaking, it thoughtfully switched back to English and said: "Okay, you can answer, I will give you a minute to think."

Why is there a time limit all of a sudden!

The students of Hogwarts were stunned, they didn't know what it just said, even the most knowledgeable Ravenclaw students frowned severely.

worse.

Everyone had a wonderful tacit understanding between the lightning and flint. They wanted to retreat without any trace, and wanted to fight for the moment when the last moment came, to be able to raise their wands in time and attack first.

However, their movements were captured by the huge magical creature. It restrained its trembling because it was about to be able to hunt, and felt the excitement of the nerve endings exploding—but it still couldn't suppress it after all, because the pupils The sudden change revealed its mood.

Among the students who were on guard, only Ivan stood there expressionless, maintaining the posture when he walked in. Even when everyone around him retreated, he remained indifferent.

Everyone seemed to have a clock in their hearts, counting down bit by bit until that minute came to an end.

With only the last ten seconds left, the two senior Ravenclaws looked back at them regretfully and guiltily.

Just when they thought they were about to usher in a fierce battle, even their heartbeats gradually accelerated, and the beating sound could be heard in their ears——

A clear male voice sounded in my ear, even with a low smile:

"So after all this time, the sphinx can only ask the same question?—and the answer is man."

The sphinx, who was already holding the winning ticket, even prepared to pounce forward, paused, and his eyes fell on Ivan's body. The emotion in his eyes cooled down, and even the smile on his lips froze.

Also at the same time, it finally smelled the breath released from this boy.

It seemed to suddenly see a giant beast appearing in front of it.

The black dragon, as tall as a mountain and ferocious in nature, looked down on it condescendingly. Its incomparably strong body compared to humans, now seemed so fragile and insignificant, and its originally sharp claws instantly looked like the flesh of a pet cat. Pads are just as harmless.

The opponent only needs a breath of dragon's breath to turn it into ashes.

Shocked by the picture revealed in the breath, it unknowingly retracted its claws, and avoided the side in a cautious manner, as if returning to the politeness at the beginning, and subconsciously replied:

"pass."

As if he forgot the oath he made when he let go of the previous team, even if this team answers the question, even if they regret it, they must catch one as their prey.

Anyway, since these wizards dare to let it guard the gate, they have to pay some price.

Fred and George put away the shock on their faces, patted their faces, and looked at each other, feeling that their brothers seemed to be used to this little Slytherin always updating their cognition again and again.

The senior Slytherin glanced at him, looked away lazily, and walked forward.

Cedric also looked at Ivan with admiration, heaved a sigh of relief, and with a sunny smile on his lips again, he also walked forward.

The two Ravenclaws turned their backs to the team vigilantly, and looked at the sphinx backwards, until they found that it was really just standing there obediently, and then turned around and followed the members of the large team to continue. Walk.

Then their instinct to be a top student came up, and they asked Ivan curiously:

"What language did it speak before? I haven't heard of it."

"Yes, I haven't heard of it either."

Ivan froze for a moment, but the Dragon Clan instinct allowed him to understand the language of all creatures, but he had to tell him which language it was just now, he really couldn't tell.

So the black-haired Slytherin was stunned for a few seconds, and replied with a rare bit of embarrassment in his tone:

"forget."

Other students at Hogwarts: "..." This wave of pretense is good.

Because of the strong light before, the highly photosensitive devil vines in the dark forest retreated far away, allowing them to temporarily see the forest in front of them, or in other words, actually two paths in the forest.

Ivan slowly fell to the back of the line, and Draco walked quickly to the front center in order not to go with him, but Harry was almost in the same position as him instead.

Gryffindor, also with soft black hair, asked him curiously:

"Uh, can I ask you a question? I don't mean anything else, but since you know the answer, why did you...?" He was a little embarrassed, but he was really curious, and the green eyes under the glasses looked at him sincerely. other side.

Ivan raised his eyebrows, recalling the scene just now, a smile flashed across his lips, and he replied unhurriedly:

"Because it's not the sphinx's patent to play tricks on its prey."
