Chapter 17 17. The ‘Mysterious Disappearance of Glass Incident’ in the Reptile House (Please pay attention to the new book)

When it was almost 12 o'clock, Dudley returned to No. 4 Privet Drive again.

"Oh my god, my baby, why did you come back? We have to hurry up." Petunia immediately asked Dudley to change his clothes after seeing him.

After hurriedly going out, sitting in Vernon's new car, the family of four hurried towards the zoo.

The Dursley family is quite a distance from the zoo, even by car it takes at least an hour and a half.

Harry was very excited along the way. He was actually looking forward to going to the zoo. The last time he went out to play was this time last year.

Because the sun was shining brightly and it was the weekend, there were unexpectedly many people in the zoo, and it was packed with family tourists.

Especially at the entrance, it was almost crowded with people. Before I saw the animals, I saw a bunch of Twolegs first.

After entering the park, Vernon bought an ice cream for each of them. Dudley had the most expensive chocolate flavor, and Harry had the cheapest lemon flavor.

Dudley switched the ice cream with Harry's because he didn't want chocolate.

In fact, Dudley's favorite flavor is chocolate.

Penny just opened her mouth without stopping, and even stopped her husband. Finally, she looked at the two people holding hands and shook her head helplessly.

Like, it looks so much like her and Lily when they were kids.

But the closest sisters will eventually become familiar strangers.

Their paths are always different.

It was said that peacocks would appear in the bird zoo area today, but several people waited there for a long time without seeing a single peacock feather. Instead, they saw a white owl hiding among the leaves, looking dull and sleeping.

"Look, it's so stupid. It feels silly." Harry pointed at the owl and said.

Owls are nocturnal carnivorous animals. They are small raptors and are generally nocturnal. Normal owls naturally sleep during the day, but I don't know what is different about the wizard's owls, which actually sleep at night.

Dudley suddenly thought: "Does Harry want to raise an owl in the future?"

"Are you kidding?" Harry shook his head like a rattle: "I would rather raise a homing pigeon."

In the mammal park, the lions and tigers were not very interesting. They were all fat and lying on the spot, yawning, and didn't even bother to move. Dudley thought that if he used a slide shovel, he could kick them out like balls.

No pandas, no pandas, no pandas. The important thing was emphasized three times. There was not a single giant panda in the park, which made Dudley a little regretful.

This feeling of loss continued until Dudley watched a gorilla scratching his head through the glass. The guy mistook Dudley for his companion and kept gesturing on the other side of the glass in an attempt to communicate with Dudley. It seemed that he was trying to communicate with Dudley.

Asking, 'How did you get out? Come and help me.'

In terms of body shape, Dudley looks a bit bigger than the average gorilla. With his strong muscles, he does look somewhat similar to a gorilla.

Seeing the funny look of Dudley gesticulating at the opponent, Harry giggled and rolled forward and backward with joy.

Every Dudley's birthday is Harry's happiest day, even happier than his own birthday. After all, only Dudley remembers his birthday and only receives gifts from Dudley.

Because they didn't have lunch during the trip, Vernon was really hungry, so they ate something in the park. Vernon ate hot dogs and happy water, Petunia ate some French fries, and Dudley ate some french fries.

Harry and I both ate burgers.

Next is the Reptile House, which is cold and dark, filled with reptiles.

There are insects such as large spiders and centipedes, as well as cold-blooded animals such as lizards and snakes.

Dudley doesn't like it very much here. He prefers fluffy creatures to cold, slippery reptiles. The gorilla outside is better than these reptiles.

Harry was particularly interested in the Reptile House. One moment he looked at the big tarantula with its fangs bared and looking fierce, and the next moment he lay on the glass and stared at the chameleon inside which was even duller than an owl.

However, the largest number of snakes in the reptile house are snakes. Venomous and non-venomous are classified into categories before Harry's eyes.

Dudley obviously felt that Harry was more interested in snakes than lizards. He saw him lying in front of the glass of the largest brown python in the museum, and whispered to the python lying inside: "Hey, man."

To outsiders, this scene looked like a child talking to himself, but Dudley knew that they were having a real conversation.

The young Harry didn't know much about his own extraordinary ability, and thought that many people had this ability.

However, this is Harry's unique ability.

‘Witness Snake Laoqiang: Obtain LV0 magical animal language.’

The system's pleasant beep sounded in Dudley's ears.

"Not a bad reward." Dudley whistled and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

This is why Dudley takes time to come to the zoo, not just because Harry still has tasks to complete.

Moreover, it is such a rare witness reward. Counting this time, Dudley has only obtained it twice. The last time he obtained it was the LV5 ability called 'Iron Mountain Reliance'.

Now I get another LV0 magical animal language.

Fantastic Beasts, as the name suggests, Dudley believes that this is the collective name for animals in the magical world, which means that he can communicate with magical creatures in the future.

It doesn't matter whether it is LV0 or not. The initial level of all skills is this. At least it appears in the ability column, which means that it can be upgraded through experience points.

But it would be nice if it were a magic reward, hmm. Fantastic Beasts. Is it barely considered?

At this time, a high-pitched scream sounded in the museum, and the glass in front of the giant python disappeared. The giant python quickly stretched its coiled body, twisted its body, and slowly crawled out of the cabinet and slipped onto the floor.

At that moment, screams and curses rang out at the same time. People in the museum turned around and ran away, fearing that they would be caught by others if they ran too slow. The entire reptile museum was in chaos.

When the giant python slipped past Harry, there was an obvious pause. It turned its head and nodded towards Harry humanely, spitting out its forked tongue and making a hissing sound.

It was as if he was saying goodbye to Harry, as if it was not a snake but a person.

Then, before other staff arrived, he quickly twisted his body through the crowd and disappeared into the museum, which was in sharp contrast to his previous appearance of lazily lying motionless in the cupboard.

In the end, I don’t know if the staff of the park captured the python, but not long after, a man who claimed to be the manager of the park came over and apologized to everyone.

Dudley's birthday was spent in such a near-miss environment.
