Chapter 4089 4091 [Earth Escape Technique]

After Xiang Nan finished his work, he was about to slip away when he heard footsteps outside the door.

He used his X-ray vision to see Filch coming back with a mop and a bucket.

Xiang Nan was surprised when he saw this.

He had thought Filch would take an hour to clean up, which would be plenty of time for him.

I didn't expect that he would come back so soon.

Xiang Nan had no time to leave, so he could only use the "earth escape technique". He saw his body slowly sinking into the ground, as if the ground under his feet had turned into thick mud.

"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up..." Xiang Nan was anxious.

However, the "Earth Escape Technique" is one of the most profound earth-based Taoist techniques, and he did not master it very well, so he could only sink slowly.

At this time, there was a click outside the door, and it was Filch unlocking the door with the key. At this time, Xiang Nan had only sunk halfway, with half of his body exposed outside.

"Shit~" Xiang Nan cursed inwardly upon seeing this and could only cast another "Illusion Spell" on himself.

In the magical world of "Harry Potter", except for the invisibility cloak passed down from the Potter family, which can make people truly invisible, no other spells or invisibility cloaks can make people truly invisible.

Because in the magical world, there is no real "invisibility spell", only the "Disillusionment Spell" that can make people blend into the environment and not be easily discovered.

A travel cloak made of the fur of an invisible beast can also make a person invisible, but the magic effect will gradually dissipate over time and the invisibility effect will be greatly reduced.

It is for this reason that the invisibility cloak held by Harry Potter is qualified to be called the "Deathly Hallows".

……

Just as the disillusionment spell was cast, there was a clang and the door was pushed open.

Filch came in carrying a mop and bucket.

"These guys are so abominable... They never thought about... how much trouble they will cause me." He complained as he walked in, "Ink, fireworks, and mud... These guys are so bad... I have to find a way to punish them. Don't you think so, Mrs. Lorris..."

Xiang Nan held his breath and remained motionless, trying his best to avoid being discovered by Filch.

Because once he found out, he would definitely inform the school. At that time, the consequences of "stealing" alone would be disastrous.

Filch really didn't notice Xiang Nan. He put down the mop and bucket, then picked up the quill and parchment and began to take notes. "I must find out who spilled the ink, and I must punish him severely~"

Xiang Nan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

"Meow, meow, meow~" At this moment, Mrs. Loris seemed to have noticed something and looked towards Xiang Nan.

  "Fuck~" Xiang Nan was shocked when he saw it.

Knowing that this cat is quite clever, whenever a student breaks the school rules, it will be the first to notice, and it seems to be in telepathy with Filch. Whenever it sees a student breaking the rules, it will immediately call Filch to punish the student.

Therefore, when Xiang Nan saw Mrs. Loris staring at him, he couldn't help but feel nervous and prayed secretly, "Please don't worry, please don't find me..."

But what you fear will come true. Mrs. Loris seemed to have really noticed Xiang Nan and slowly approached him.

Even though Xiang Nan had a profound cultivation and was very good at meditation, he was almost defeated at this moment. "This damn cat is really smart. Get away from me, get away from me~"

Mrs. Lowris didn't hear Xiang Nan's thoughts, and still slowly moved towards him, and bumped into Xiang Nan's head. "Meow~Meow~Meow~" Mrs. Lowris was also startled, and then she screamed at Filch.

"What's wrong, dear? Did you find anything?" Filch asked, looking up in confusion.

Mrs. Loris immediately raised a cat paw and pointed it at Xiang Nan.

Filch stood up quickly upon seeing this and reached towards Xiang Nan. Fortunately, at this moment, Xiang Nan just sank into the ground.

"There's nothing, dear. Did you see it wrong?" Filch grabbed a few times but didn't catch anything. He looked at Mrs. Norris in confusion.

Mrs. Loris also tried several times but failed to catch Xiang Nan, and couldn't help showing a surprised expression.

"Okay, I understand. So many things happen in school every day, and so many brats break the school rules. It's really tiring to rely on just the two of us to maintain order." Filch picked it up and said, "It's okay. I'll feed you some more dried fish in the evening~"

"Meow~" Mrs. Loris called happily.

"You like fish, right? I knew it~" Filch hugged her affectionately.

Xiang Nan was watching from below and felt sick.

After he went underground, he felt like he was stuck in a quagmire. Although he could move, it took a lot of effort and it was far from as comfortable as being in the air.

Moreover, he could vaguely see things within three feet (about one meter) around him, but it was pitch black beyond that.

This was mainly because his "Earth Escape Technique" was not advanced enough. According to the "True Explanation of the Five Elements Dao Law", when the "Earth Escape Technique" was cultivated to a high level, one could travel underground, shuttle freely, and move at will...

Xiang Nan is obviously still a long way from reaching this level.

But he had just performed the "Escape Spell", so it was normal for him to be unskilled. In the future, with practice, he would naturally become proficient. Just like when Harry Potter practiced the summoning spell, he could only summon flies at first, but later he could even attract Hagrid.

Xiang Nan then swam out of Filch's office with all his might, as if he was diving.

Although it was only a few steps, it took him a lot of effort. Therefore, not long after leaving his office, Xiang Nan slowly came up, feeling tired and exhausted.

However, this experience also benefited him a lot.

Although he had learned the "earth escape technique" before, he had rarely used it.

Because at that time he was fascinated by the "Sword Control Technique". After all, flying with a sword is what everyone who dreams of becoming a fairy hero yearns for. And the "Earth Escape Technique" is to burrow into the ground like a mouse, which is not as glorious as the "Sword Control Technique".

But now that he had come to Hogwarts, flying was no longer a difficult thing. He had flying lessons once a week and could ride the broomstick at will.

Nowadays, even the dumbest children can already ride on a flying broomstick and run around in the sky. Compared with this, the "Earth Escape Technique" is more cost-effective.

Because it allows Xiang Nan to freely enter and exit many places, such as the restricted book area of ​​the library, the professors' offices, the common rooms of various colleges, and even the principal's office.

Of course, Xiang Nan couldn’t guarantee whether he could enter and exit, and whether he would encounter any obstacles.

After all, Hogwarts was founded by four great wizards. Not only were there a large number of spells set up outside the castle, the entire castle was hidden, making Muggles mistakenly believe that it was a ruin.

There are also many protective magics in the castle. For example, you cannot Apparate, use Floo powder or Portkeys in the castle; the Room of Requirement can change in many ways to meet the needs of the user; you must say the password to enter the principal's office...

So Xiang Nan still has to try slowly.
