From Kamal Taj to Hogwarts
Chapter 118 The Cannibal Prison
The location of Erxtag Prison is very hidden, and the scene inside is also very dark and gloomy.
"I'll go in and explore the way first." Sivan said softly to Newt. Then he disappeared, bypassed the warden at the door, and got into the dark underground tunnel.
The interior of Urxtag Prison is a gloomy and dark underground fortress. The prison is cylindrical in shape and spirals downwards around countless corridors. There are countless holes in the corridors, and a prisoner is hung upside down in each hole.
Prisoners, every prisoner has a lamp that flickers on and off next to him.
The corridor surrounds a huge and deep sinkhole, and creepy beast roars often come from the depths of the sinkhole.
Relying on his immunity to physical attacks, Xiwen curiously flew downwards for a distance.
In the dim pit, if you get close, you can vaguely see a huge scorpion tail dozens of feet long swinging in the darkness.
Suddenly, the scorpion's tail suddenly flung out, poking into a small hole in the corridor as fast as lightning.
Xiwen was startled, and immediately looked up at the hole where the scorpion's tail was pierced, and found that the light there had been extinguished.
Accompanied by the prisoner's desperate scream, the scorpion tail caught him deep in the pit. Soon there was a heart-wrenching sound of gnawing and the roar of a beast...
The prisoners' cries disappeared. Then, a corpse with basically only skeletons left was thrown into the corridor above.
‘So all the prisoners here are just food for the monster below…’ Xiwen looked at the lights that filled the prison, feeling extremely shocked.
Every light represents a prisoner being imprisoned, and every light extinguishing represents a living person falling into the monster's mouth!
I can only hope that Theseus is okay.
At this time, there was a group of fierce-looking light yellow animals with crab claws and scorpion tails in the corridor. They rushed in one direction, looking like they wanted to fight.
"Oops, Newt!" Sivan was shocked and quickly flew toward the tunnel entering the prison.
Sivan floated to the front of the group of small animals, and was about to save Newt from these ferocious animals, but he saw a strange scene——
Newt was maintaining a weird posture, spreading his legs and raising his hands on both sides of his shoulders in a duck-bill shape. A group of strange little animals with crab claws and scorpion tails also raised their crab claws and followed Newt's example.
Dance"……
"What are you doing..." Xiwen's mouth couldn't stop twitching, and he asked in a strange tone.
"An action that may reduce the desire of arthropod magical animals to attack." Newt looked nervously at the small animals around him and said in a low voice. "Of course, this is my first time to try it, so I don't know how it will work."
"So what are these animals?" Xiwen looked at the ferocious little animals scattered around the corridors with numb scalp, and asked in a low voice. "Why are there so many?"
"They are Manticore cubs," Newt explained. "Manticores are like crabs, they lay a huge amount of eggs, and their hatching rate is extremely high. They can produce tens of thousands or even hundreds of eggs at a time.
Ten thousand little manticores.”
"A manticore has the head of a man, the body of a lion and the tail of a scorpion. It is as dangerous as the Chimera and equally rare." Newt continued to spread knowledge about this magical animal to Sivan.
Said eloquently.
"The manticore will make a low sound when it swallows its prey; in addition, its skin can repel almost all known spells, and the sting on its tail also contains poison. The wizard who is poked will die instantly! It is precisely because of the danger and rarity of this magical animal that it is difficult for wizards to do anything to them."
"That big monster at the bottom of the pit that day was the boss of the manticore?" Xiwen asked.
"It should be called the Manticore Queen." Newt corrected seriously.
While the two were talking, a light in the cave next to them went out.
"No, save me!" The prisoner hanging at the entrance of the hole was shocked. He struggled and twisted, but was still instantly hooked into the hole by the huge scorpion's tail.
Then a low groan came from the deep sinkhole, which just echoed Newt's explanation just now - "The manticore will make a low groan when it swallows its prey"!
However, Newt, who had learned the correct knowledge, was not happy at all, and even had a look of horror on his face.
"How could there be such a big manticore?!" Newt said in shock.
"Maybe it's because there is enough food." Seeing the body that was once again thrown into the corridor and surrounded by a group of manticore cubs, Xiwen's heart felt cold.
"Mr. Strange, we must hurry up. Every minute we delay, Theseus will be in more danger!" Newt's expression became very anxious, and he said to Sivan eagerly.
Sivan nodded silently, and he and Newt split up to look for traces of Theseus.
…
"Strange, Theseus is here!" Newt shouted out of the corridor in a low voice.
He didn't dare to shout loudly, lest he disturb the giant manticore under the sinkhole.
Fortunately, the prisoners in the prison did not dare to speak loudly, or perhaps the long-term suspension made them lose the strength to speak. So Xiven still heard Newt's voice and floated towards Newt's position.
Fortunately, Theseus was still hanging intact in a hole in the middle part of the prison, and the light next to him was still on and off.
Probably because he was transported here not long ago, Theseus is in good condition and can even speak easily.
"Are you here to save me?" Theseus asked.
"We're trying to do this." Newt held the lamp in his left hand and untied the rope from Theseus' feet with his right hand.
So, Theseus fell hard to the ground.
"Ah, it hurts! I thought you could think of a suitable way to put me down." Theseus rubbed his painful shoulder and complained.
"Okay, Mr. Scamander, I think we should hurry up and get out of here now." Sivan interrupted the quarrel between the two and said.
Newt hesitated for a moment and said to Sivan: "We should go back to the entrance. My wand, Pickett and Teddy are still locked in the cage at the entrance."
"The door key that Dumbledore gave me should also be there. We need to get it to go back." Theseus added.
"The portkey is not a big problem, but Pickett and Teddy have to get it back."
Xiven thought for a moment, turned to look at Newt and asked, "When you came in, did you notice how many people were guarding the prison entrance?"
"There are a lot of people guarding the outside, but there should be only one warden inside Urxtag Prison." Newt said. "Maybe they don't want to stay with these animals."
"Then there's no problem." Xiwen nodded, waved his hand in a circle, and opened a dimensional door leading to the entrance tunnel...
Then he saw Teddy Sniffing carrying Pickett the Bowtruckle on his back, Pickett holding Newt's wand, and the two little cuties battling wits with the bearded warden of the prison.
Seeing Newt behind the aperture, Teddy and Pickett seemed to have found their backbone and jumped across the portal into Newt's arms.
Newt took the wand held by Pickett and cast a stun spell with his backhand, knocking the bearded warden unconscious.
"It seems to be going well!" Theseus said with a smile, subconsciously wanting to put his arm around Xiwen's shoulders, and then his arm passed through Xiwen's body...
Theseus could only pretend to laugh nonchalantly.
"Things here should be over," Newt said. "Then do we need to use the portkey to go back? Or is Strange going to open a portal?"
Xiwen shook his head, silently turned around and floated towards the sinkhole, and a golden ring wrapped around his wrist.
"You guys should leave first." He said softly. "I still have one thing I haven't done."
