Hogwarts Crawler

"The first step is to be swallowed by the quicksand..."

Adam found the quicksand pit that Tuya mentioned, and was swallowed by the quicksand without resistance. Wrapped in protective magic, Adam drifted in the sand for half an hour before he felt his feet empty.

The magic circle flashed in the void, and the silver-white wings with a similar fur color to Animagus suddenly opened, flapping twice in the air to stabilize his body. Fluorescent balls floated out of Adam's hands, illuminating the dim underground palace.

Stone tablets were engraved with symbols praising gods, and the tall statue of Anubis stood at the end of the sight. Looking up, the flowing yellow sand was blocked by invisible forces above his head.

This is the ground floor of Hamunaptra. In the past, Egyptians worshipped the gods of the underworld here with awe of death, but now no one cares about it, and the solemn and magnificent buildings have become ruins buried in the yellow sand.

"The second step is to activate the mechanism."

After landing in front of the Anubis statue and folding his wings, Adam found the mechanism that Tuya mentioned. After activating it, Anubis slowly turned half a circle with one foot as the center, revealing a staircase going down.

Adam walked down the stairs all the way. After walking for about a minute, there was finally a light in front of him. Under the light, Adam saw a stone door and a huge monster.

"The third step... go through the gate guarded by the Sphinx."

The palm on the ground was almost as high as Adam. This Sphinx was not much smaller than the statue next to the pyramid. It was much more in line with Adam's fantasy of Anubis than the previous hairball.

Thinking of Uther's hairball, Adam's mouth curled up slightly. He held the Dark Staff in one hand and summoned a Clow Card with a fish on the card with the other hand.

"Answer my question, what..."

"The seal is lifted--"

The tall Sphinx was frozen into a lump of ice in the blink of an eye, and then shattered into ice crystals all over the sky the next moment.

This Sphinx is not a real magical animal, but a golem created by ancient magic. Its weakness is low temperature. Even if it is killed a few days later, it will reappear, so Adam did not feel sorry for Uther when he solved it.

"Step 4, avoid the magical animals on the road and find the passage."

Push open the giant door and continue to move forward. The passage on the map left by Uther is in the southwest corner. He may encounter magical animals such as the Nereid and the Scorpion Tail along the way, but Adam is not worried about this at all.

"Raise a snake for a thousand days, use it for a moment."

Adam twisted the glass bottle, released the basilisk, and lifted the magic of shrinking the basilisk.

"Medu, go ahead and clear the way."

"Hiss..."

The basilisk moved its body, opened its eyes and looked at Adam, and after a meaningless bark, it obediently cleared the way in the direction Adam pointed.

Don't ask, it was the one who shared a bite of the basilisk soup that Adam cooked before, and it also watched when the basilisk eyeball was roasted.

On one side, there was meat for three meals a day, and on the other side, there was snake meat stew and roasted eyeballs. The basilisk, now named Medu, still knew which to choose, and it also followed the law of the jungle.

The scales of the basilisk rubbed against the gravel on the ground, making a rustling sound, which caused similar sounds to continue to sound around, but they were all in the direction away from Adam. Obviously, the power of the snake king could at least scare off the runes.

The group of scorpion tail beasts crawling towards Adam died directly after a single encounter with the basilisk because of their eyeball structure similar to that of spiders. The ground was covered with the corpses of scorpion tail beasts.

The road was smooth and unobstructed. Adam stepped on the road crushed by the basilisk, and the carapace of the scorpion tail creaked under his feet.

If it was normal, he might think about how to eat this thing, or get a few to raise, but now he was obviously not in the mood.

Finally came to the location of the passage on the map, Adam looked at the wall of hieroglyphics in front of him:

"The last step, the Eye of Horus marked by Uther on the map, but it didn't say how to trigger it..."

Adam looked at the three Eyes of Horus on the wall and didn't see any problems, so he reached out and touched them one by one.

"Huh?"

There was a bulge on the last Eye of Horus? But it looked normal...

Adam tried to click it, but it didn't work, so he pressed it hard again.

"Boom--"

The wall suddenly cracked along the line of the hieroglyphics, slowly sinking into the wall to the left and right sides, revealing a dim passage.

The ball of light floated into the passage, and Adam could see the entrance of the passage. There were new hieroglyphic characters on the wall.

The general meaning was that the underworld was ahead, and any living person who entered would never be able to return to the human world again.world.

"Underworld..."

Putting away Murdu, Adam ran his fingers over the holy book that symbolized the underworld, holding the staff of darkness and resolutely stepped into the passage.

"Boom--"

As soon as he stepped into the passage, the sound of a mechanism came from behind Adam. The walls that had been retracted on both sides were about to close again. Adam quickly took out a candy cane and pushed it forward--

"Click--click..."

The candy with the protective magic was indestructible and stuck firmly between the walls that were about to close. Then, under the magic of the big brand, the walls on both sides were pushed back.

Leaving the retreat route in place, Adam stepped forward and found a piece of linen hanging from above at the end of the road.

Adam remembered that when he came to Egypt last time, Uther seemed to have mentioned this mechanism, behind the false door of the pyramid-except for the descendants of the pharaoh, anyone who passed through this thing would fall into the underworld and never come back.

It feels a bit like the curtain in the Hall of Death in the Department of Mysteries of the British Ministry of Magic?

Adam picked up the linen with the Wand of Darkness and walked over directly.

The protective magic around his body was triggered in an instant, and Adam could clearly feel the changes in the surrounding environment.

"Is this the underworld?"

"Strictly speaking, this is not the underworld, but the place of judgment, the border between life and death, and the country ruled by the god Anubis."

The sudden voice did not scare Adam, he nodded in a daze:

"Fengdu City, Misty Fantasy, Erebus..."

In an instant, the border between life and death seemed to have changed from the kingdom of God ruled by Anubis to a group of gods living in a crowded rented house.

The voice in the dark was silent for a moment, and continued as if nothing had happened:

"Come forward, the creatures who step into the underworld, accept the test of judgment..."

Adam's eyes were slightly cold, he held the Wand of Darkness tightly, and continued to move forward.

This time, he really reached the end of the passage. After walking out of the door, the road ahead led to a circular platform, surrounded by an extremely vast space with no visible boundaries. In the center of the circular platform was a golden scale, and the two ends of the scale were balanced at this time - there was nothing on the left side of the scale, and an ostrich feather stood on the right side of the scale.

"The living who stepped into the underworld..."

A huge jackal head poked out from the boundless darkness, and He slowly spoke:

"I am Anubis, hand over your heart, and I will judge whether you can continue to move forward..."

As the jackal head who called himself Anubis finished speaking, the protective magic on Adam was triggered, and nothing else happened.

The scene was a little awkward for a while...

"Did you take out the heart of others and judge them a few days ago?"

Adam looked at Anubis and said loudly.

"Ah... the person who broke the rules."

Anubis frowned as he looked at Adam, whose heart had not been taken out, but did not refuse to answer:

"Geb's protection cannot protect him forever. His soul will eventually fall into the lake of fire and be devoured by Amit, just like the other person who broke the rules... His death is near."

Hard, hard fist.

"How can I get his heart and soul back?"

"The blasphemer will be damned in hell forever!"

Take a deep breath, Adam slowly raised the dark staff...
