Hogwarts: Storm Chaser

Leaving the desert and flying towards the north, the green gradually increased, and a huge dark green basin appeared in Ralph's field of vision. This was the Congo Basin.

According to the guidance of the breast feathers, that is where Aiden is, the Congo rainforest, the center of Africa, and one of the three largest tropical rainforests in the world.

As the distance gradually approached, the first thing Ralph and the others felt was the humid water vapor and the gradually rising temperature.

From the perspective of Ralph and others, there is an extremely tall and thick tree growing in the northwest of the basin. The vitality in it is so strong that it is almost overflowing. Looking at it from a distance makes Ralph and others feel that

I feel relaxed and my whole body is clear, as if it has been washed.

At the same time, there was also strong magic power coming towards them. Unlike the desert they passed through before, the Congo rain forest was full of magic power, as if there was a star spring like the Forbidden Forest.

However, that huge tree can be compared with Xingquan.

Ralph and Sophia approached the edge of the rainforest, and a ptarmigan had already rested on the crown of a tree, waiting.

His body shape is not as streamlined as Ralph's, but similar to Sophia's, rather strong, but Sophia is far inferior to him.

The wings are very strong. Although they are covered by feathers, the outline of the muscles underneath can still be clearly seen. There are also the prominent chest muscles. Because Aiden is in a standing posture at this time, the chest muscles are fully exposed, very full, and

Line sense.

Even the muscles of the legs have very obvious traces of exercise. The calf, which is the part of the chicken leg that is usually eaten, is wrapped in muscles, making the section of the tarsometatarsal bones connected to it, which is the big bone of the chicken feet, look particularly slender.

That paragraph.

Seeing the strong wings of her second brother Aiden, Sophia suddenly felt a little pain in her head.

At this time, Aiden was standing on a branch, looking into the distance, his eyes a little dull. Despite this, he still paid part of his attention to Ralph's breast feathers.

After a while, he came back to his senses, and his dull eyes became sharper, a bit sharper than those of ordinary thunderbirds.

Sensing the approach of Ralph and Sophia, he turned his head and saw two figures not far away, with some softness in his eyes.

The three ptarmigans soon gathered together and a heavy rain fell at the edge of the rainforest.

They hadn't seen each other for a long time, they were singing to each other, touching each other's beaks, flying and circling in the sky together, teasing each other's tail feathers.

Pieces of thunderclouds, under the call of their magic power, gathered in the sky in this area.

Countless creatures raised their heads and looked at the dark clouds that suddenly gathered. Three giant shadows of different sizes loomed in the flashing thunderclouds.

Of the three siblings, Sophia is the smallest, while Ralph and Aiden are not easy to compare. Aiden has a strong body, suitable for close combat, and is the widest; Ralph has a slender figure of a normal bird, suitable for flying, and is the longest.

.

Therefore, when the three brothers and sisters are together, it is still easy to distinguish them.

Some of the magical animals who were still thinking about it immediately lowered their heads, stopped watching, and hurriedly went about their own business.

At the same time, they were also wailing in their hearts. One thunderbird was already too much for them, so why did two more come? I hope they won't stay forever.

Especially those magical animals that stand at the top of the rainforest food chain are in a particularly bad mood. They don't want two more fighting lunatics to fight with them every day, and they can't kill them, but they can't stop fighting.

This world is getting more and more difficult.

After a while, thunder and lightning roared, and heavy rain poured down.

However, a dazzling fire flashed and the weather became clear again.

Both Ralph and Sophia were frightened by the strong danger in the fire, and their feathers exploded.

Aiden, on the other hand, had a dissatisfied but helpless expression on his face, as if he had known it for a long time.

"Don't worry, she won't do anything to us little cubs."

Aiden explained to Ralph and Sophia, and in their curious eyes, he explained this existence.

Solution in Aiden

After being released, the feathers blown up by Ralph and Sophia slowly recovered and returned to their original state.

It was a phoenix that lived in the Congo rainforest. I don't know its age, but it must be very old.

Out of blood kinship, Aiden asked once, but was severely beaten and told that he was not allowed to ask about a girl's age.

Since then, he has never mentioned his age in front of the old phoenix.

This elderly phoenix is ​​honored as queen by the creatures in the Congo rainforest, but no one knows her real name.

Aiden asked many elders who have lived here for a long time, but found nothing.

He also imitated those young creatures and called her grandma, or grandma the queen.

It is conceivable that he was educated again.

Moreover, Aiden was given a crushing education based on the aspect that Aiden was best at, which made Aiden doubt her colleagues in life and had to call her aunt or aunt in shame. Of course, the Queen did not mind.

Although he was crushed by his aunt in melee combat, Aiden was even more excited because he found a good teacher.

Facts have proven that as long as you are studious and live a long time, you can become proficient in any aspect.

Under the guidance of his aunt, Aiden also learned that he should not just focus on melee combat and abandon other things, but his own talents should be developed. When used in battle, there will often be unexpected results.

For example, the Phoenix's talent, the ultimate flame affinity, can almost be said to be the incarnation of flame.

During the special training for Aiden, the Rainforest Queen often used flames to captivate Aiden's vision. Then she would teleport to Aiden like a phoenix, raise her wings, and give Aiden a hard blow on the head.

This allows Aiden to experience what Sophia felt before, but unlike Sophia, he enjoys it.

Like his aunt, Aiden also felt that progress could only be achieved by being beaten. Therefore, he was not afraid of pain, but instead enjoyed the uneasiness that this physical warning brought to him.

The Queen of the Rainforest can be honored as Queen not only because of the long years she has lived here, but also because of her contribution to the rainforest.

Although she has a somewhat irritable personality and is prone to hitting people, she is still a very caring phoenix, but the long years have taught her how to restrain and implement this kindness.

In the Congo rainforest, a large number of trees thrive with the help of sunlight, evaporating a large amount of water vapor into the sky. This water vapor affects the climate of this area.

The clouds gathered, bringing heavy rain and thunderstorms full of majestic power.

In the rainforest, tall and magical trees are particularly popular with thunderbolts. Lightning often visits their crowns, leaving scars that go deep into their hearts and are difficult to remove, or deprive them of their lives.

At this time, the Queen of the Rainforest will take action. She will save those old or tall trees with magical powers, and some magical vines are also within the scope of her rescue.

For those tall trees that have no magic power and are young, she will not give them a second glance, letting them fall down, die, and turn into fertilizer to nourish the land and give birth to more lives in the future.

The towering tree that Ralph and Sophia saw is still alive today, and the queen must have contributed to it.

Thunder and lightning are only a small part of the survival crisis for the creatures here. What makes them even more desperate are forest fires.

In the face of such a large-scale natural disaster, both magical animals and ordinary creatures face the same danger.

Forest fires have occurred more than once in the Congo rainforest, and the title of Queen has become louder and louder with each fire.

In the face of disaster, the Rainforest Queen will rescue all magical creatures worth saving, and determine the order of rescue according to their rarity or importance to the rainforest.

But she would not turn a blind eye to those ordinary creatures and let them fend for themselves, unless a magical species appeared in a certain family.

The long years have given her a deep understanding of her responsibilities.

Like Ralph, she has also been recognized by the will of this rainforest, and this huge rainforest will help her when she encounters danger.

It can be said that within the scope of the rainforest, she is invincible.

It was also because she had a place that needed to be protected that she stayed in the world and refused to leave. This land was the place where she had poured countless years of hard work.

She knew that it was the will of the rainforest that chose her, and what made her active and what gave her birth was the gradually declining magic power.

Therefore, what she needs to protect is the magic of this land and the ecological environment that maintains the cycle of magic.

It's not that she looks down on non-magical beings or is dismissive of them, but she knows that non-magic is the world's choice. One day in the future, they will eventually occupy the soil where magic exists and destroy it completely.

At that time, she will leave, and there will be no one on this planet for her to fall in love with. Maybe she will leave before then, she has guessed.

Survival in the rainforest seems very difficult, but for magical animals, it is indeed very comfortable.

Endowed with unique magical abilities, they survive here very well.

Due to the presence of the queen, magical animals rarely kill each other, and the objects they prey on are all ordinary creatures. Unless they are really greedy, they will leave the rainforest and go out to fight tooth festivals.

After Aiden's brief introduction, Ralph and the others learned that the vigorous and towering tree was the residence of the Rainforest Queen.

It is called the Skytree by local magical animals and wizards and grows on the north side of the Congo River.

There is a large tree hole above it, where the Rainforest Queen usually rests, which can be regarded as her palace. Outside the tree hole, there is a small platform with evergreen leaves growing above it to protect the rain.

There are rows of large bird's nests of different styles on the crown of the Sky Tree. Some are open-air and some have rainproof terraces. These are her palaces for them to play and watch in different directions.

Rainforest landscape.

Aiden's residence was in the crown of a tall tree on the other side of the river, where he built his nest.

Compared with the queen, his lair is quite simple, and there are all kinds of trophies on it.

Since there are many thunderstorms in the rainforest, the output of lightning-struck wood is also very high.

The basic structure of Aiden's nest is filled with lightning strikes of various sizes and lengths, and is covered with a layer of delicate leaves, feathers and animal hair.

Above the nest, there is a rain screen made of the branches of the tree itself and the leaves growing on it, which prevents the nest from getting wet from rainfall.

But Aiden still complained to them that he still needed to use magic to dry the lair every day.

The reason is that the humidity here is too heavy. Every morning, the fog condenses on the rain screen and turns into water droplets.

Aiden was woken up by water drops every day, and when he felt a little moist and cool on his body, he knew it was time to get up and dry the nest.

The rain screen is not a complete and smooth curtain, but is made of intertwined tree branches, so there are places on it where water droplets can collect and drip.

Although ptarmigans like to be in thunderclouds, like most birds, they still like their nests to be dry and fresh.

Three thunderbirds entered Ruoda's nest. It was obviously a bit crowded, so they got closer.

Ralph and Sophia also saw the scars on Aiden's body, and felt a little uncomfortable. They stepped forward and touched the corner of Aiden's mouth, which made Aiden a little confused.

However, when talking about these scars, Aiden was very excited and excitedly shared with them the origin of each scar on his body.

It turned out that he had left these on purpose. Even though he had grown feathers, Aiden also changed the color of the feathers so that the scars could be identified.

Therefore, these scars are all glory to him.

At this time, Ralph and Sophia had nothing to say, so they listened obediently to Aiden's story about his battle experience.

Perhaps it's because he hasn't had many interactions with the same race before, but whenever Aiden talks about these things, he can't stop talking.

Ralph and Sophia also took this opportunity to explore Aiden's lair, where they smelled a strange, unpleasant smell.

The shell of the color-changing giant snail is inlaid on the edge of the nest, changing colors, which does not make the dark-toned nest more beautiful, but makes it more earthy.

On the tree trunk on one side, two thunderbird feathers were stuck there, with the tail of an unknown creature hanging on them. Below it, at the border of the nest, were several teeth, not here.

Not far away, there was a huge glowing red horn, as big as Sophia's head. Ralph recognized it. It was the horn of a poisonous horn. It contained poisonous substances and would explode. It was not this.

Not far from Sophia, there is a snake head with an egg in it. With such an obvious feature, you can tell at a glance that it is the head of a rune snake.

I don’t know if this was Aiden’s trophy or if he picked it up. After all, this kind of snake has three heads and likes to fight among itself.

The eggs inside have lost their vitality, but the insurance measures are very good. There is no rot, and it is not them.

As time passed, the smell became stronger and stronger in the lair, and even Aiden himself could smell it.

"Brother, why do you smell so bad?"

He sniffed, looked at Ralph, and asked doubtfully.
