Chapter 266: The Nangdu Leopard Giving Birth
As a person who can pick up a ball-dozer when he goes out for a walk, Newt's greatest characteristic is that there is never a lack of surprises around him.
Because tomorrow is the first day of school, Kyle originally planned to go back after dinner here.
But he had just taken a bite of the freshly baked caramel potato pancake when Newt ran over in a hurry, grabbed Kyle's collar and dragged him into the box.
"What, what's wrong?" Kyle followed Newt with a confused look on his face, and stuffed the remaining half of the caramel potato pancake in his hand into his mouth in a few bites.
"The leopard is going to give birth tonight." Newt said without looking back, he grabbed Kyle's arm, "We have to go there quickly."
"What?" Kyle's mouth twitched.
The leopard is a magical animal that looks like a mountain lion. It is black all over and has a huge poison sac on its neck, which makes it even breath with deadly poison.
Although it can actively control the toxins in its body, it depends on the situation.
Kyle doesn't think it has the energy to care whether its poison will hurt others when it is giving birth.
No, it should be said that the leopard is the most dangerous at this time.
Giving birth consumes a lot of physical strength. In order to survive the weak period and to ensure that no other creatures approach, they will instinctively spread a large amount of highly toxic gas around.
Going there now is basically the same as committing suicide.
"Can I not go?"
Kyle tried to refuse.
"I'm not afraid, it's mainly because the caramel potato pancakes are not delicious when they are cold..."
"It doesn't matter, Tina can make it again."
"That's too much trouble..."
"Tina likes this... She makes a lot every day, and sometimes it takes the Sniffers to finish it together."
"But..."
Kyle wanted to say something else, but Newt suddenly slapped his head and took out something about the size of the Golden Snitch.
"This was made with the help of Dumbledore. It contains a stone formed in the stomach of a Riem cow. Carry it with you and the poisonous fog will not work on you."
"..."
You should have taken this good thing out earlier.
If he had known that there was such a thing, he would not have waited until now.
Kyle took it immediately.
It was a small ball made of silver wire, with a layer of fine net on the outside, wrapping a golden "stone".
Kyle picked it up and could still smell a faint fragrance of soil...
He nodded.
Yes, that's right, it's real bezoar.
It is the same thing as the fecal stone in the stomach of a goat, and both have a strong detoxification effect.
It's just that the color is brighter. Ordinary bezoars are brownish, but this one is as golden as Gallon.
Kyle plucked a leaf from the side, turned it into a rope, strung it up and hung it around his neck.
To be on the safe side, he deliberately made the rope very short.
After all this is done...
"Get ready, Kyle, we have to hurry."
...
Newt grabbed Kyle's arm and took him to a grassland east of the box.
The first second he arrived here, Kyle felt something was wrong.
Just like London in the morning, there was a light green mist visible to the naked eye over the grassland.
However, there seemed to be an invisible wall at the edge of the grassland, preventing the poisonous fog from spreading outward.
It should be arranged by Newt.
"Is it enough to just carry it?" Looking at the poisonous fog in front of him, Kyle couldn't help asking.
After all, bezoar generally has to be put in the mouth to have the effect of detoxification.
"Well, just carry it."
Newt nodded, "The Reem cattle are almost immune to all toxins, and its bezoar can naturally restrain the leopard... Oh, and this."
Newt took out his wand and waved it lightly, and a transparent bubble appeared on Kyle's head.
He was the same.
"Okay, let's go in."
Newt took the lead in walking into the poisonous fog.
Kyle paused for a moment, and said to Fox who was following behind him.
"Fox, think of something sad quickly, so you can squeeze out some tears, I might need them later.
You don't need a lot, a pint is enough."
Be prepared, the phoenix's tears can even cure the poison of the basilisk, so the leopard is no problem.
Listening to Kyle's words, Fox couldn't help but pat him with his wings.
It's a phoenix, not a faucet.
A pint of tears, you dare to say that... What, are you here to quench your thirst?
Even if you really drink it as water, you won't need that much.
Fox, who was angry, grabbed Kyle's clothes and rushed into the grassland full of poisonous fog without saying anything.
The combination of the bubble head curse and the bezoar was really effective, and the poisonous fog around him dispersed automatically.
It didn't take long for the two people and the phoenix to find the leopard on a huge stone.
It lay on its side on the stone, its belly bulging, and it groaned in pain from time to time.
Newt walked forward and gently placed his hand on its chin, kneading it back and forth rhythmically.
"This will help her relax a lot." Newt explained.
Kyle watched his movements and wondered, "But if it's so close, won't the smell of the bezoar affect it?"
"Yes, it will, but it's not that serious."
Newt looked down and said, "It's probably like someone who doesn't like vegetables smelling carrots."
Kyle nodded and understood what Newt meant.
Although it's annoying... it's not that hard to accept.
Kyle sat next to him and watched Newt stroking the chin of the Nangdu leopard.
Under his skillful technique, the Nangdu leopard's breathing gradually became much smoother, and it no longer made that painful groan.
But as I said just now, this is destined to be a long process.
Kyle thought that Newt thought this opportunity was rare and brought him here to broaden his horizons.
It wasn't until two hours later... when Newt's technique lost its effect that Kyle realized that he was pulled here to be a "chatter".
Yes, it means literally, to chat with the Nangdu leopard and distract it.
It's not hard to hear from the other party's tone that it doesn't want to talk, and even because it thinks Kyle is a little irritable, it tried to bite him, but fortunately it was calmed down by Newt in the end.
"Don't stop, keep talking!" Newt urged.
There was no other way, Kyle could only bite the bullet and continue talking to himself.
But the problem was that Kyle didn't know what to say.
He had just repeated all the comforting words he could think of several times. If he said them again, the Nundu leopard would probably bite him.
Even Newt couldn't stop it.
There was no other way, Kyle could only change the topic to the magical animals he had seen.
From Fluffy the three-headed dog to Norbert the Norwegian Ridgeback, combined with what happened in Hogwarts, it was like telling a story.
