The emerald green, slender poisonous snake struggled desperately.
It tried to break free through its agility and the amazing strength granted by magic.
Despite its small size, the snake is as strong as a bull. Not to mention its extraordinary agility, even keen hunters can't catch its movements with their eyes!
However, even with such strength and dexterity, the girl's hand remained motionless, tightly gripping the venomous snake, preventing it from escaping.
"Teacher's premonition turned out to be correct. Danger has indeed arrived. That old witch has indeed attacked us!"
Aurora suddenly exerted force with her right hand and crushed the venomous snake to death.
The emerald green scales, which could resist many magical spells, were of no use against such an extraordinary warrior.
Bang!
The poisonous snake exploded in a ball of emerald green mist. The horrible poisonous mist spread out, swirling and rolling, and it was deadly everywhere.
This is the magic snake's final killing move, which turns into poisonous mist that kills the enemy at the moment of death.
The snake's body fell to the ground and turned into a broken wand.
"As expected of that old witch's tricks, one after another, it's really hard to deal with."
Aurora quickly took several steps back.
But a little green mist still touched the girl's palm, corroding her fair little hand.
The witch's blessing ensures that no weapon, man-made or natural, can harm Aurora, as can fire, natural or magical.
But besides swords, claws, fangs, and blazing fire, there are many other dangers in the world that blessings fail to protect against!
"Aurora, let's get out of this room."
At the moment when the blonde girl quickly took a few steps back, Rhine's figure quickly appeared behind her, grabbed Aurora's shoulders, and then the two figures quickly disappeared.
——"Teleport"!
The two of them appeared in the vacant room next door at the same time.
It turned out that Rhine had long anticipated that the old witch had a strange temper and might cause trouble for them tonight, so he remained vigilant and predicted the situation in the next few hours in advance.
Divination and prophecy are not omnipotent and can often only provide vague fragments. But they are still useful in this case.
Just now, facing the incoming danger, Rhine himself teleported directly to the empty room next door and used magic to observe the situation in the original room, ready to take action at any time to solve the dilemma or catch the enemy by surprise.
The invulnerable Aurora is responsible for staying in the room and confronting the enemy head-on.
Extraordinary warriors and magicians each have their own division of labor!
"How are you, Aurora?"
In the empty room, Rhine looked at Aurora's right palm with great concern, which had been corroded to reveal its bloody flesh.
"It's okay. It doesn't hurt much."
The blonde girl grinned, clenched her uninjured left hand into a fist, cold sweat oozed from her forehead, and she breathed deeply, trying hard to look like she wasn't in pain.
"You kid..." Rhine sighed.
The young man took out the freshly brewed potion powder from his pocket and sprinkled it carefully on the girl's hand. He then cast a healing magic, allowing pure white light to cover Aurora's right hand.
After integrating the alchemy skills of the sea witch and adding the healing magic he already mastered, Rhine was sure that no matter who was poisoned, sick or fatally injured, as long as the person did not die on the spot, he could save the other person!
In just a moment, Rhine dispelled the poison and healed Aurora's injuries. Now the girl's palm looked no different from before.
"Next we need to clear the poisonous fog in the room."
With the help of the summoned wind elemental spirit and the herbal powder to neutralize the poison, Rhine dispelled all the emerald green mist in the room in a short while.
They returned to the room.
Although the injury healed within a minute, Aurora was still a little angry when she thought about the attack.
"That old witch must have done it, right? She really wanted to kill us!
"I really want to give that old witch a taste of revenge!"
Aurora's face turned sad again as she spoke:
"It's a pity, but I don't know which room she lives in. The Ender delegation seems to be scattered across several different rooms. Also, perhaps, like the black witch Maleficent, she can avoid divination and detection against herself to a certain extent."
Rhine smiled.
He took out his tinderbox and rubbed it lightly.
With a whoosh, the door was blown open by the cold wind, and a big dog with eyes as big as tea bowls appeared in front of the door.
Rhine put the broken wand in front of the big dog's nose and let the dog sniff it again and again.
"Find the owner of this wand!"
The boy gave the dog an order.
The dogs summoned by the tinderbox are so magical: as long as they are within a certain range, these dogs can always find the target of their owner's hunting, whether it is money or a specific person!
The dog barked twice obediently, then jumped out of the window and ran around in the garden next to the palace.
The dog was just as clever as described in the original fairy tale:
It lurks in the shadows, nimbly avoiding any possible gaze that might notice it. Its agility is totally inconsistent with its huge body!
——In the original version of the story of "Tinderbox", the three dogs were able to sneak into the heavily blocked and heavily guarded royal palace without being noticed by outsiders, and capture the princess without being discovered by the guards!
Rhine didn't know the magic of invisibility, so he didn't follow the dog directly. Instead, he took out his crystal ball to observe the direction of the dog's movements and found the room where the old witch lived.
The old witch was still alone in her room, waiting for her beloved little snake to come back and report the good news!
Suddenly a cold wind blew and the window of the room opened.
A terrifyingly large dog had stood before the old witch. The dog's eyes were as big as teacups!
"What's going on? Why is it not my precious snake that came back? Instead, it's such a strange dog."
The old witch was stunned and guessed the reason immediately.
The dog pounced on the old witch and was about to knock her down, but the old witch chanted the spell faster.
"Bang!"
In a black mist, the dog turned into an ugly toad.
Transfiguration curse!
"Hahaha, a monster like this wants to deal with me? You'll be looking this ugly for the next seven days!"
The old witch grinned.
Then the witch couldn't laugh anymore.
Her eyes bulged.
Because while she was concentrating on dealing with the dog, a rope had quietly strangled her neck and hung her in the air!
