Hogwarts: Capturing Nagini at the Beginning

Chapter 42 The decisive moment
  "Stop it. If you continue to be careless, I'll kick you up and let the twigs skewer you into skewers."

Grant looked at the treetops as thick as his thumb, and his gluteus maximus muscles tightened unconsciously, "Master, don't."

"Then be honest, then, go and stay there!"

Grant moved his big feet and walked to the position designated by his master.

Luo Bin took out a slingshot from his black robe. He remembered that the original book mentioned that no matter what hit the willow tree, it would be beaten with its branches. Then
  He placed the ice bomb, aimed at a slightly smaller branch, and stretched the rubber band to its longest length.

shhhhh!

Boom!
  The ice bullet hit the branch accurately.

The treetops were like swaying water plants. After swaying two or three times, they returned to their original state of stillness.

The branches were not beaten violently, was it because the impact was not strong enough?

Luo Bin's eyebrows were slightly raised, and a hint of cunning flashed through his pool-like eyes. He said to the bewildered goblin: "Take two steps forward, then two steps, then one step. If you go any further, oh shit, you crazy?"

Grant was an impatient goblin. When he heard the third word "Let's go again," he put his feet together and half-bent his legs, and jumped forward one meter.

boom!
  The Whomping Willow entered combat mode. Its main trunk was bent into a bow shape, and its branches twisted and rushed downward. Countless slender branches gathered together into a big fist, and struck the garden gnome quickly, accurately, and hard.

Hiss, most of the fist was punched into the soil. Is that stupid love brain still alive?
  The densely packed twigs made it impossible to see what was going on under the fist. Robin shouted tentatively: "Grant, are you dead?"

Wow!

Apart from the shaking of twigs, there was no other sound coming from the bottom of the fist.

After a minute, there was still no sound at all. Luo Bin sighed and silently lit three white candles for the gnome.

Suddenly, a conspiratorial drake voice came from behind, "Master, why didn't you tell me in advance that the strange tree would beat people?"

Hey, you're not dead?
  Robin turned to look at Grant.

It clenched its fists, stretched its neck, and looked fiercely.

Ah!
  You disobey yourself and blame others?
  Need discipline!
  "Did I just say jump one meter forward? Grant, if you disobey instructions every time, I will write it down once in my notebook. If the cumulative number of demerits exceeds 5 times, I will give the "Goblin Mating Secrets" to your love rival for free. —Troy Front!”

Upon hearing that the pursuit secrets would be given to his love rival, Grant broke his guard.

It plopped down on the ground, crying and wailing, begging its owner to erase this demerit.

The noisy gongs made people have a headache. Luo Bin frowned and said: "Get up, if you perform well tonight, I will consider erasing the demerit!"

"Master, tonight, if you ask me to face west, I will never face east. If you ask me to move forward, I will never go backward!"

After Grant finished speaking like a dogleg, he got up and ran to where Luo Bin had left him standing.

"Master, how many steps forward will you take this time?"

The blow from the Whomping Willow just now was enough for Luo Bin to determine the specific attack range of the Whomping Willow. The range was slightly rounder than previously estimated, and was slightly 1 meter wider.

"No need to step forward, Grant. Dig a hole 1.5 meters deep from here, and then dig a tunnel sideways toward the Whomping Willow. Oh, by the way, dig an exit upward every 1.5 meters!"

Luo Bin pointed at the edge of the big crater made by his big fist and said.

"Master, drilling holes is my specialty. I guarantee to complete the task!"

After Grant finished speaking, he began to dig a hole in the ground. After a while, it completed the task assigned by its owner.

Luo Bin took out the slingshot again, stretched the rubber band to its longest position, and said, "Grant, you popped up from the hole in a while, and when the willow branch was about to hit you, you slipped back into the hole with all your might!"

"Okay, Master!" Grant: I'll fight for Lilissa!

Seeing the goblin return to the edge of the pit, Luo Bin took aim and fired ice bullets.

Phew! Boom!

Just like before, the treetops swayed a few times and then stopped moving, but Luo Bin knew that the Whomping Willow had started fighting.

It's time to release the other two.

Luo Bin controlled the Rubik's Cube with his mind and released Nagini and Xiao Hui.

As soon as Nagini landed on the ground, she swam her snake body and circled around Robin. Finally, the huge snake head rubbed his cheek lovingly.

Xiao Hui was like a balloon that flew away from his mouth as soon as it was inflated, flying wildly in the night sky, exuding the aura of "I want to fight, I want to beat someone."

"Nagini, when the willow branch hits the ground, you will use the 'Flower Winding' skill to prevent it from pulling the branch back. Do you understand?"

Nagini spat out the snake message, glanced at the tree more than ten meters high with vertical eyes, nodded her head in a humane manner, and then squirmed her snake body and swam to Grant's side. The snake body was half extended and entered the first level combat state.

Luo Bin waved and called Xiao Hui over!
  "You will use the 'Soul Devouring' skill later. How much you can swallow depends on your own abilities, but one thing is that you cannot suck the Whomping Willow to death!"

Xiao Hui excitedly circled Luo Bin's neck three times to show that he understood!
  Luo Bin: (へ╮) Damn it, if you hadn’t known that the magical creature had been contained in the square and could not attack its owner, I would definitely reward you with a big ass when you circled the neck for the first time.

On the other side, Xiao Hui, who was showing off his skills above the goblin, suddenly felt a chill on his back, which caused his circle speed to slow down a lot.

Okay, all three magical creatures have entered combat mode, then it’s time for the decisive battle!

Luo Bin straightened his arms and spread his hands flat, and used his mind to take out the silent magic saw in the sea of ​​​​consciousness space!
  boom!
  A one-meter-long magic saw fell on his arm, making his wrist tremble!
  hiss!
  It was quite heavy. Luo Bin put the wide band diagonally on his shoulders and put the saw on his hips. With his shoulders and hips sharing the weight, Luo Bin suddenly felt much more relaxed.

"Grant, you can dig into the ground. Xiao Hui, go hit the trunk of the tree. Nagini, if you can't lock the branches later, retreat back. Your own safety is the first priority."

Luo Bin held the handle of the saw tightly, input magic power into the iron box, and said at the same time: Start!
  The saw teeth rotate very fast but make no noise. It seems that the 10 gold galleons are well spent!

"Okay, master!"

Grant went into the hole with his head facing upwards on the soles of his feet. Five seconds later, he emerged from the adjacent hole and waved his arms provocatively at the Whomping Willow.

In an instant, the main trunk of the Whomping Willow bent into a bow shape, and the twisted branches rushed downwards. Countless slender branches gathered together into a big fist, hitting the garden gnome quickly, accurately, and hard.

When his big fist was 0.1 meters above the ground, Grant retracted into the hole and climbed down at high speed!

boom!
  Half of the twigs from the big fist sank into the big hole again.

Nagini moved like a rabbit, swimming along the snake's body towards the connection between the twigs and the branches.

It hurriedly wrapped the willow board around the joint before it returned to the branches, forcing the thin branches to remain in the shape of a big fist.

Luo Bin stepped forward with a magic saw on his back!
  Tsk! Tsk!
  The sharp saw teeth spin faster when they hit the bark!

The Whomping Willow was in pain, and its branches trembled, trying to break the 'bow' into a 'straight' shape.

However, Nagini, who remembered her master's orders, relied on the weight of her entire snake body to hold down the treetops of the Whomping Willow, making it impossible to break it back.

Two minutes later, with a squeaking sound, Luo Bin saw off the branch of the Whomping Willow!

The main trunk lost its restraints and bounced back to its original position. The Whomping Willow twisted the remaining branches wildly, as if venting the pain of 'cutting branches'. Then, the main trunk bent into a bow shape again, with two branches as thick as a battering ram. He punched Robin and Nagini with two big fists.

"Nagini, go get the thicker branch!"
