Chapter 96 Another Basilisk

"Kronos! Look, it's Euphorbia alpine. It is a perennial herb. It grows at an altitude of 1,000 meters to 4,900 meters, mostly in bushes, alpine meadows, forest margins, and undergrowth."

"Kronos, look at that. It's alpine parasitism, a species of the genus Pyroparasitica in the mulberry family. It is produced in Longling, on high mountains. It usually grows in alpine forests or mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests. Parasitic on plants such as rhododendrons."

"Kronos, look quickly. It's a dwarf willow, a kind of acanthaceae plant that grows in the alpine tundra and is distributed in eastern Europe. Its leaves are slender and green and easy to cultivate. The slender leaves , helps to absorb sufficient light and good water quality. I remember Shikoba Wolfe, a wand maker in the United States, made wands out of dwarf willow."

Mr. Newt seemed very excited along the way, and he kept calling Chronos' name. Then he pointed to the plants that Kronos looked similar to and introduced them to him. And then ask him if he remembers?

So Kronos thought he was in a biology practice class! And Newt shouldn't be a wizard, he should go to the Muggle world to be a biology teacher for a group of Muggles.

"Cronus!" Mr. Newt's voice sounded from the front again.

"Oh!" Kronos sighed, and he felt more and more that his original decision was wrong.

"Here I am, Mr. Newt," he replied loudly.

"Look, Chronos." Mr. Newt pointed to a plant that looked like a chrysanthemum this time and said to Chronos.

"I'm watching!" Kronos muttered in a low voice, but on the surface he still pretended to be studying hard.

"This is a perennial herb. It is distributed in Nepal, Kashmir, the Himalayas, Sikkim, and China's Tibet, Gansu, Yunnan, Qinghai and other places. If we see it here...it means we have already climbed a Kilometers away!" After speaking, Mr. Newt looked around.

"Mr. Newt, have you ever been to the Celestial Dynasty?" Kronos was a member of the Celestial Dynasty in his previous life, so he is still very sensitive to this term.

"Of course, I was going to Tibet. I heard there are snowmen there." Mr. Newt said thoughtfully.

"Snowman? Does that puppet really exist?" Kronos looked at Mr. Newt in disbelief.

"I don't know either. I didn't see it when I went to Tibet." Mr. Shaking his head, Mr. Yeti said, "But I suspect that the Yeti is actually a branch of giants, just like the Inuit among us humans."

Kronos nodded as if pretending to understand.

Mr. Newt seemed to see that Chronos was not interested, he turned around and said to Chronos mysteriously: "But I saw Yuki Onna (Yuki_onna) when I went to Tibet that time. )” (ps: I transliterated it.)

"Yuki Ona?" Chronos repeated what Mr. Newt said with a strange expression, "What is that?"

"I don't know, but people in the Celestial Dynasty call her Snow Maiden." Mr. Newt said in a normal way, but Chronos was very excited when he heard it. That's Snow Maiden! The ghost mentioned in Shan Hai Jing, isn't this more mysterious than the snowman?

"How? How? Is she good-looking?" Kronos is still more concerned about whether the appearance of the snow girl is as beautiful as the legend.

"I didn't see it. I only saw his back." Mr. Newt said, "And I found that his hair was white, so I think he is probably a branch of the elf race."

As soon as Kronos heard what Mr. Newt said, the interest that had just been raised quickly faded away. You didn't even see the face, what did you tell me! Really spoil the fun.

They continued on their way, climbing up the gap in the jungle.

"Be careful, Chronos."

Mr. Newt was so frightened that Chronos was afraid to put his foot on the ground when he was about to step out.

Mr. Newt put down his backpack and took out some dark brown things from his pocket. Those of the Chronos people, that is a kind of insect called "ground turtle".

"Come on, cutie!" Mr. Newt lay on the ground with his butt pouted, holding a black turtle in his hand and dangling among the fallen leaves at Kronos' feet.

Suddenly a branch moved, Chronos thought he might be dazzled. Then the green branch ran under Kronos' feet and into Mr. Newt's hand.

"This is a Bowtruckle, a hard-to-spot, palm-sized insect-eating animal. Bowtruckles have long, sharp fingers on both hands and brown eyes , it looks like it's made of bark and twigs, so it's easy to disguise." Mr. Newt handed the branch-shaped magical animal to Chronos to see. Then he said to himself again.

"Bowtruckles live in certain forests in western England, southern Germany, and Scanvia. Bowtruckles become guardians of the tree they inhabit, and the wood of these trees is often suitable for making wands (Such as the Bowtruckle.) Bowtruckle's slender, branch-like fingers can help them dig up woodcutters, and can also be used to attack the eyes of enemies. Although Bowtruckles are usually gentle in nature, if something threatens the tree and it When it is safe for itself, it can become very aggressive. To remove leaves or wood from a tree guarded by a Bowtruckle, a wizard needs to give them woodjack or fairy eggs."

"Oh~" Kronos tried to put on an expression of understanding.

"Okay, now let's put this cute little guy back!" Mr. Newt carefully put it back where it was just now. The Bowtruckle Leaf still held the woodjack that Mr. Newt had given him.

"Let's go! It's going to be dark soon, and we need to find a safe place to pitch our tent." After finishing speaking, Mr. Newt picked up his bags and started on the road again.

"Hiss, hiss!" Kronos, who was walking behind, felt a tightening of his left wrist. It was Snake, the basilisk, calling him.

"Master, I sense another creature like me here." Snake let out a hissing sound.

"Huh?" Kronos' first reaction when he heard this was, you don't want to find a wife!

"What's going on? Tell me clearly!" Kronos whispered.

"It's just... I... I feel very comfortable with the...environment here, and I...accidentally...released...my breath...and then...I felt...a...another...snake-like... Breath." Snake could only utter a few words at a time, so the words were broken.
