Hogwarts Summoning Guide

"This is a tricky idea, set up the formation!" Elder Zong shouted, his voice carrying a hint of江湖 (jianghu, the martial arts world) spirit.

"Team Leader Huang, the seven of you set up the Seven Star Formation, and I will be the core of the formation! We also ask Grandpa Zong to oversee the formation for us!" Yan Nishuang ordered.

"Form a formation!" Huang Chenghua waved his hand, and the six team members who had just escaped death from the Shadow Serpent Arrow gritted their teeth and formed a semi-encirclement. Although they did not actually form a formation corresponding to the Big Dipper, all seven of them released a mysterious Eastern magic. Seven talismans appeared on their chests, and a light blue energy line was formed between the talismans.

"Formation" is a unique team battle spell in the East that can link several or dozens of allied members together. Different formations have different effects, but they all have the common feature of being able to gather the magic power of multiple people to release spells that cannot be cast by a single person, and when taking damage, a certain proportion of the damage will be absorbed by teammates.

If we consider the group of people who make up the "array" as one person, then the "array eye" can be understood as this person's magic wand. Although the mages who make up the array are connected by magic, they are still a group of people, and their thoughts and attention cannot be completely unified. Therefore, some large-scale attack spells can greatly improve the hit rate and precision of details by having a powerful mage as the array eye.

Yan Nishuang landed in the center of the formation, less than ten meters away from the demonic youth. She held the jade pen between her fingers, staring intently at her opponent. Although her magical talent could be described as one in a hundred years, she had only been practicing for a few years, and this situation was truly the first time she had encountered it. Her kindness was still urging her to find the gentlest way to subdue the opponent and save the youth.

The demonic youth's eyes were unfocused, seemingly staring blankly at the crowd before him. The elder noticed Yan Nishuang's hesitation and whispered, "The demon cannot recover. Even if the demonic energy can be completely stripped away, the host will not survive. We cannot hold back; we must kill him!"

Yan Nishuang knew this all too well. But the other person still looked like a child, so how could she kill him the moment they met?

Just then, the demonic boy suddenly began to tremble violently again, his face contorted as if countless insects were swimming under his skin.

Suddenly, the demonic youth spat out a thick black substance from his mouth in the direction of the crowd. It was like freshly boiled asphalt. The black substance was like a high-pressure water jet from a fire hydrant. It instantly reached one of the team members who formed the formation. Fortunately, it was blocked by an invisible spatial barrier. The black viscous liquid scattered and splashed everywhere.

"Dragon-Trapping Lock!" Yan Nishuang commanded, and the seven team members immediately pointed their wands at her, and streams of golden magic power converged towards her.

Yan Nishuang drew a chain in the air with her jade pen towards the demonic youth, which was thicker than an adult man's arm. The chain shone with golden light, like a living golden dragon. Under Yan Nishuang's control, it instantly bound the demonic youth tightly.

However, Yan Nishuang was soon horrified, because the black liquid spewed from the demonic youth's mouth was like sulfuric acid against magic. The shield of the Seven Star Magic Array was rapidly dissolving, and when the black liquid touched the golden chains, it was like concentrated sulfuric acid poured onto iron chains, emitting puffs of white smoke. Within seconds, the chains were corroded and broken.

"Attack from the air!" Yan Nishuang waved her hand, and everyone retreated to avoid being sprayed by the black liquid after the shield disappeared. But just as everyone boarded the flying vehicle, the demonic boy swung his hands out. Yan Nishuang watched as the boy's hands turned into a cloud of black ash, which then formed a whirlwind centered on his body.

On the lakeshore, the viewing platform was completely destroyed, and rocks and mud collapsed into the lake. Bai Lin put down the still-shaken You Qian, turned around and summoned Xue Feng, rushing towards the collapsed pit.

As a spatial mage, Zhuo Bi certainly wouldn't fall to his death. As he slid down, he summoned a spatial mirror and went straight inside. Soon, another mirror appeared next to You Qian, and Zhuo Bi emerged from it.

Qiqi and Zhao Yu weren't so lucky. Although both of them were quite skilled, with the mountain collapsing and the ground sinking, Qiqi couldn't care less about Zhao Yu. Her beloved scimitar was also struck by lightning. The intense heat made the blade glow red-hot, and it disappeared into the rubble in the blink of an eye. But it did save her life. Her prosthetic limb also had a lot of metal. If it weren't for the scimitar attracting the lightning, she would be the one who was burned alive now.

Qiqi desperately covered her head amidst the falling rocks, trying to avoid being smashed open by the rocks. Fortunately, the shore was a slope, not a cliff. Bai Lin, riding Xuefeng, leaped a few times and saw Qiqi's figure. He threw out a hunting rope, which Qiqi grabbed and was pulled over by Bai Lin.

Bai Lin manipulated the snow wind and hugged Qi Qi tightly. Qi Qi bit her lip and quickly sat down behind Bai Lin.

"Brother Linzi!" Zhao Yu's voice came from not far away. Bai Lin turned his head and saw that he was stuck between two large rocks, looking quite painful.

"Shatter to pieces!" Xue Fengfei rushed over, and Bai Lin cast a shattering spell on the rock that was pressing down on Zhao Yu. The large rock instantly shattered into pieces, but Zhao Yu was also not in good condition and was almost sent to his death. Bai Lin grabbed his arm and lifted him up.

Having rescued Zhao Yu, Bai Lin asked You Qian to take care of him, then turned to the dark figure in the mist and coldly shouted, "You filthy beast, see how your grandpa deals with you!"

"Summon Thunderbird!" Bai Lin shouted towards the sky, then, realizing that the Thunderbird wasn't as big as the giant electric eel and might be at a disadvantage, he quickly added, "Summon Longhorn Dragon!"

The figures of the Thunderbird and the Longhorn Dragon suddenly appeared in the thick fog, flapping their wings and taking to the sky. Bai Lin summoned them continuously, which was also very exhausting, and he was panting heavily. However, the fog was so thick that even the Thunderbird had difficulty spotting the electric eel, which made things very tricky.

Bai Lin was anxious, but the Thunder Bird already knew what Bai Lin was thinking. It flew into the sky, broke out of the fog, and cried out loudly. Its huge wings were crackling with lightning. But what Bai Lin wanted was not its aimless lightning strikes. Instead, he wanted to use the Thunder Bird's skills to condense rain clouds in the sky.

Although it was winter, the humidity above Cloud Lake was still very high. Thunderbirds easily gathered a large patch of dark clouds, with flashes of lightning and thunderous roars.

"Hopefully it will hit the clouds..." Bai Lin wasn't very confident. The dark sky, shrouded in mist, prevented him from seeing the Thunderbird, but he had heard the thunder and knew that rain clouds had formed. He channeled all his magic power and roared into the sky, "Frost Arrow Rain!"

This was a sudden thought of his, mimicking the use of magic to unleash a rain of shadow arrows. He condensed a large ball of icy energy between his hands, and icy arrows shot out from that ball of energy, carrying a dense chill as they flew into the sky, driven by Bai Lin's hundreds of points of magic power.

The first time Bai Lin unleashed this self-created magic, the icy arrows he fired were completely inaccurate, like champagne spraying out of a bottle of champagne after it was shaken violently. He couldn't precisely control the direction of each arrow, but at this moment, he obviously didn't need to aim. He just put all his strength into it and shot it as high as he could.

Bai Lin had a wonderful idea: as long as he brought cold air into the cumulonimbus clouds, it would form rain, and the rainwater could effectively wash away the fog on the lake surface. However, if Yan Nishuang were present, she would definitely remind him in a very awkward way that it was winter and it was already very cold. The only result of what he did was that many ice crystals fell from the sky, followed by large snowflakes.

"WTF!" Bai Lin gasped for breath, looking at the snowflakes falling from the sky, almost wanting to swear. However, in the mist, the giant electric eel had already launched an attack on the longhorn dragon.

The longhorned dragon had a keen sense of smell. As soon as it detected something approaching, it unleashed a torrent of dragon flames in that direction without hesitation. Meanwhile, the electric eel activated its accumulated power. Bai Lin didn't know what effect the flames would have when they encountered lightning, but it was clear that neither the longhorned dragon's dragon flames nor the electric eel's lightning were natural products. Instead, they were manifestations of some kind of magical energy. As a result, the two energies collided and caused a violent explosion.

Bai Lin heard a loud bang dozens of meters ahead. Looking up, he saw what looked like a huge fireball exploding, and a wave of heat hit him, unintentionally dispelling a large patch of fog.

The figures of the longhorn dragon and the electric eel appeared in front of them. Only then could Bai Lin see the electric eel clearly. It was tens of meters long, with a large head, comparable to a hatchback car. Its body was flat and elongated, with semi-transparent skin, making it easy to see its internal organs.

"It can't fly, it can only swim in the mist!" Yuxi seemed to have discovered something and shouted to Bai Lin.

Bai Lin suddenly realized what was happening and shouted, "Jiaojiao! Drive him out of the fog!"

With a roar, the longhorn dragon pounced into the thick fog, continuously spraying its dragon flames towards the electric eel. The electric eel panicked, because even if it wasn't hit by the dragon flames, the high temperature would evaporate a large number of tiny water droplets in the fog, directly affecting its movement trajectory.

Bai Lin stared intently at the figures of the two giant beasts in the thick fog. Although they couldn't see them clearly, the firelight from the longhorn dragon would show their approximate location. To Bai Lin's surprise, he discovered that the "artificial snowfall" had not been useless. The giant electric eel seemed to dislike the snowflakes and slowed down its swimming speed in the fog.

Finally, the electric eel was forced to move to a spot in front of Bai Lin where the mist was lighter. As soon as Bai Lin could clearly see the electric eel's swimming body, he immediately shouted in its direction, "Shadow Chains!"

This Shadow Chains technique is a special reward after sealing the Two-Headed Nightshade Dragon. Bai Lin has not yet tested its true power, only knowing that it seems to be an advanced version of summoning Shadow Demons.

And the effect was exactly as Bai Lin had predicted. More than a dozen black chains, each as thick as an arm, shot out from the void and instantly bound the electric eel tightly.

The electric eel was startled and cried out, its head flashing with lightning once more.

"Let me see if your lightning is stronger, or Thunderbird's! Thunderbird, 100,000 Volts!" Bai Lin pointed at the electric eel's head, locked onto its location, and gave the order to Thunderbird.

The thunderbird swooped down from high in the sky, sparks flashing violently between its wings. As it approached the electric eel, the thunderbird suddenly spread its wings and almost stopped in mid-air. A bolt of golden lightning, thicker than a thigh, blasted towards the electric eel's head.

Not to be outdone, the electric eel unleashed a burst of light blue lightning from the sides of its head toward its forehead, striking the thunderbird's lightning head-on. The two bolts of lightning collided in mid-air, seemingly canceling each other out. However, the electric eel's light blue lightning was quickly suppressed by the thunderbird, and golden lightning poured down on the electric eel's head, causing it to let out a painful scream.

The lightning lasted for less than two seconds, but Bai Lin was almost blinded twice. When he closed his eyes tightly and opened them again, the giant electric eel's head was charred black from the electric shock, but it was not seriously injured. Its two eyes were fixed on the thunderbird not far away, seemingly still very dissatisfied.

However, another dark shadow descended from the sky. It was the Longhorn Dragon Horn, which used its claws to grab the electric eel that was bound by the Shadow Chains. Without hesitation, its golden horn pierced into the back of the electric eel's head.

"We can't waste this, seal it!" Bai Lin rode Xue Feng and jumped to the spot closest to the electric eel on the shore, activating the seal from afar.

Perhaps it was because Bai Lin's magic power was stronger now, or perhaps it was a hidden function of the upgraded encyclopedia system. Although it was far away, the electric eel still managed to turn into a streak of light and disappear into mid-air.

Bai Lin eagerly looked at the system notification:

Successfully sealed the evil mist eel, a summoned creature of foreign black magic, increasing the summoning encyclopedia's computing power by 04.

For unknown reasons, the Demonic Mist Eel cannot be summoned.

Receive a special reward: Mysterious Eel Tooth 3

Bai Lin reached out and saw three cone-shaped tooth fragments, each about ten centimeters long, resembling three pieces of white jade art. However, the system didn't show what use they were, so Bai Lin could only helplessly stuff them into the system's inventory.

After the demonic mist eel was sealed, the mist gradually dissipated, and Bai Lin could see the cruise ship in the center of the lake in the distance, with faint lights flashing and the sound of wind. Yan Nishuang also seemed to be engaged in a fierce battle.

"Zhuo Bi, can you teleport to that ship?" Bai Lin called out as he turned around.

Zhuo Bi appeared beside Bai Lin in a flash. Because it was night and visibility was very poor, the location of the destination could not be clearly seen. Using Phantom Shift would easily lead to mistakes, so Bai Lin had no choice but to ask Zhuo Bi for help.

Zhuo Bi squinted at the dark lake surface, shook his head, and said, "Unless you're mentally prepared to fall right into the lake, hehe..."

Bai Lin rolled his eyes and was about to recall the Thunderbird and the Longhorn Dragon when he saw the Thunderbird call out to him softly twice.

"You mean you can take me there?" Bai Lin was overjoyed. Thunderbirds were far more intelligent than longhorned dragons. Longhorned dragons were more like unruly, reckless children with amazing destructive power, but relying on them as mounts was completely unreliable, not to mention the long, sharp bone spikes on their backs.

The Thunderbird descended, and Bai Lin grabbed one of its claws. The Thunderbird flapped its wings and flew away, carrying Bai Lin towards the cruise ship in the distance, amidst the exclamations of You Qian and the others.
