Chapter 342: The Statue of Madness

"What's going on?" Sirius asked, pulling his wand out and scurrying over. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Harry and Hermione, who had walked in front, also turned their heads and looked at Ron worriedly. They didn't know what was happening, but Ron's screams felt bad, and they couldn't help but think of Sirius' previous warning that the centaur temple was not safe, and they drew their wands to raise their guard.

Margaret stood still, looking at Ron as he collapsed on the ground with a strange expression.

He seemed hesitant, but didn't come over to stop him.

"Inside, inside, those statues are full of monsters!" Ron said tremblingly, pointing to the dark room in front of him, half-hidden by a stone door.

"Monsters?!" Sirius looked at him suspiciously, then turned his gaze back to Aven.

Evan nodded, motioning Sirius to get ready. Then, with a quick flick of his wand, a yellowish ball of light the size of an egg flew out of the end of his wand and slammed forward, slamming the stone door in front of him open with great speed and flying into the dimly lit room.

In the next second, the light cluster emitted a blinding light, illuminating the entire room.

Everyone took a step forward, and when they saw what was inside, they couldn't help but gasp in unison, their expressions were extremely shocked, and they couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"What the hell is thisβ€”" Harry said in surprise.

Unexpectedly, in this ancient and small room, there were actually many statues of strange creatures.

They were all identical, strange-looking, and if I had to describe them, they were terrifying creatures that resembled deformed insects, measuring five feet long.

The color of the body is a rocky blue-gray color, with occasional hints of pink.

Most striking was the massive crustacean-like body, with several pairs of massive, dorsal fins or thin wings, and six sets of arthropods.

What is terrifying is that where it should be the head, there is a green ellipsoid with a complex structure, covered with a large number of short tentacles.

The head socket under the tentacles is full of holes, and the muscle membranes on it are like the eyes of flies that have been magnified countless times, which is very disgusting.

As long as you look closely, you can vaguely see through the cyan film that the inside of the monster's head is a gray flesh nucleus, like a huge tumor that suddenly mutates.

As you breathe, the tumor seems to be shaking, but on closer inspection it is an illusion.

The statues look striking, they seem to have not been moved for centuries, they are covered in a thick layer of dust, but they are still lifelike.

In fact, they seem so real that they look exactly like they're real.

Evan thought of the people who had been petrified by the basilisk last year, and the statues looked just like them, as if they were living creatures that had been petrified by magic.

He couldn't help but think: they were all alive, just petrified.

It's a bad idea, but it's clearly not just Evan who thinks so. The other people's faces were just as bad, and Hermione couldn't help but get closer to Aven.

Holding her cold little hand, Aven felt the excitement and tension in her heart.

Imagine what it would be like to be in an ancient, mysterious, dark centaur temple, with small, dim, unknown rooms filled with statues of such evil monsters, and these nightmarish things suddenly appear in front of you.

It's just creepy to the extreme, and it's no wonder everyone is so shocked.

Evan was glad after being extremely shocked, glad that these were just statues and not living monsters, otherwise the consequences would have been absolutely unimaginable.

He gasped, not knowing what they were, he had never read of them in any magic book, could it be the magical creation of some evil dark wizard?!

Sirius' expression was also extremely shocked, apparently the first time he knew about it. He turned around and shielded Aven, Harry, Ron, and Hermione as fast as he could, and pointed his wand at Margaret in front of him, asking, "What are these statues inside?"

"As you already know, our ancestors once worshipped evil gods who drove powerful tribes to madness and destruction, and these monsters were left behind by the Wandering Wanderers!" Margaret said slowly, her voice much lower than usual, "At its peak of power, the centaur tribe was definitely beyond your imagination, and what you see now is only a small part. ”

"Just a small part?!" Evan looked down the ancient walls and saw that there were dozens of such rooms in front of him, if they were full of such monsters......

Then it occurred to him that what he had seen was only part of it.

The temple was much bigger than he had imagined, and there were many hidden rooms in it, and no one could guarantee how many such monsters there were.

And since it was created by the so-called evil god, there will only be one kind of monster like this, or will there be other kinds?!

"I don't care if they're banished or not, since you still have these things, you should be responsible. Sirius didn't put down his wand, and said firmly, "I need an explanation, or I won't let the children behind me continue the adventure." ”

"Centaurs are different from humans, and we will never shirk our responsibilities!" shouted Margaery, "If any of you can pass the final test and get the magic items left here by the castle founder, then the one chosen by the stars, the elders will explain it to you and tell you all about it." ”

"We won't move on until you've made everything clear......" Sirius roared, responding in the same loudest voice.

His face was pale, and his wand was constantly sparking.

"Whatever you want, Sirius, you are not the chosen one by the stars and fate, you have proven it twenty years ago!" Margaret said fearlessly, her gaze slowly sweeping over Aven, Harry, Ron, and Hermione, "As for the four of you, either move on and learn the truth through the test, or retreat away from the lost friendship of the centaurs and get out of our Forbidden Forest for good." Tell me your choice, human!"

Aven, Harry, Ron, and Hermione looked at each other, not knowing how to answer each other.

Sirius, who was standing in front of them, gasped violently, and seemed to rush forward to fight the other party.

Ignoring Sirius' gaze, Margaret walked over and closed the open stone door again, then took a few more steps forward and stopped where he was.

He turned his head and looked at the four of them with a haughty expression, waiting for everyone's decision. (To be continued.) )
