Nundu, Record of the Circuit Expansion Stele
Newt's suitcase world.
The Nundu walked over with elegant steps; its massive body did not appear clumsy at all, and it moved so silently.
As the Nundu approached, Lucien remained extremely vigilant.
This is a Class XXXXX Magical Creatures, probably the most dangerous Magical Creatures in the world.
Its breath alone can cause deadly diseases and easily destroy a village.
It would take a hundred elite wizards working together to possibly subdue the Nundu before them.
Although Liuguang didn't sense any malice from the other party, she moved closer to Lucien and Newt, ready to teleport away instantly if anything went wrong.
However, the Nundu didn't actually approach, but maintained a certain distance.
At the same time, it stopped the contraction of the air sacs around the neck, ensuring that the toxic gas in the body was not expelled.
"You smell so good."
A strange voice appeared in Lucien's mind.
But he immediately realized that it was the Nundu in front of him that was communicating.
Thanks to the Unicorn's blessing, I can now communicate directly with animals.
However, the Nundu's statement is still a bit strange. "I smell so good?"
Hmm, I remember that the recipe for this Magical Creatures includes...
Lucien pulled a small bottle from his pocket, which contained a potion—a highly poisonous one.
I opened the bottle cap and shook the bottle.
"You mean this?"
"Yes, but there are other flavors as well."
Lucien immediately understood; the Nundu's food contained various toxins, and it must have smelled the poison on its own body.
It just means I smelled the aroma of food.
So Lucien took out a few more bottles and jars, opened them, and let the Nundu smell them.
"Mmm, that's the taste."
"Hey, could you give me this food? I'll give you something nice in return."
Lucien raised an eyebrow. This leopard is quite straightforward; it says what it thinks.
Thinking that he had made all the potions himself, Lucien tossed them to the Nundu one by one.
The leopard caught the poison one morsel at a time, swallowed it, and then spat it out of the container.
Watching Lucien methodically feed the Nundu, Newt nodded secretly and relaxed his guard slightly.
It's surprising that Lucien, at such a young age, could remain so calm and show no excessive reaction when facing such an extremely dangerous creature Nundu for the first time.
To interact with these Magical Creatures, you must have a sufficiently calm mindset.
Animals are often more sensitive, and if the wizard exhibits incorrect behavior first, it will also trigger a stress response in the Magical Creatures.
Lucien's timely use of the poison demonstrates his knowledge of the Nundu and his swift reaction.
Newt believed that Lucien must have communicated with the Nundu just now.
The Unicorn's blessing, which brought the Language of Beasts, allowed Lucien to communicate directly with them.
In the process of interacting with Magical Creatures, there is no ability more useful than this.
After Lucien finished feeding the poison, the Nundu licked its lips, seemingly still wanting more.
He walked around the grass a few times, then gracefully squatted down, and then pulled out a...
purplish-brown with barbs...
stool.
"Hey, here's some good stuff for you, take it now."
Lucien fell silent, forcing himself not to look at the "good thing" again, and fixed his gaze on the Nundu.
The black vortexes in his eyes continued to swirl, while one hand gripped a small stone slab in his pocket.
The once smooth stone slab now bears the vivid image of a leopard, which, judging by its appearance, is indeed Nundu.
Its body contains intricate lines that shimmer with a magical glow as they continue to unfold, almost complete.
A few seconds later, I felt a slight vibration from the Circuit Expansion Stele in my hand.
Lucien let out a soft breath and blinked.
Alright, the Magic Circuit of the Nundu has been recorded.
For this reason alone, visiting Newt's trunk today is worthwhile.
After all, the Nundu is a dangerous and rare Magical Creatures that is difficult to encounter under normal circumstances, let alone observe face-to-face like this.
Circuit Expansion Stele can record Magic Circuit in two ways:
One method is to directly touch the target with this small stone slab for five seconds.
Secondly, Lucien himself held the rubbing tablet and used his Eye of Magic Sight to observe the target's Magic Circuit until the recording was complete.
The second method requires varying amounts of time depending on the complexity of the Magic Circuit.
Simple tasks take only three to five seconds, while complex ones might take several minutes.
For example, the Nundu is a complex creature, but Lucien couldn't easily get close to such a dangerous creature with its own area-of-effect poison, so he simply used the second method.
Seeing that Lucien had not yet taken any action, the Nundu, somewhat puzzled, transmitted its voice to Lucien's consciousness:
"Don't you want it, human?"
"But the person next to you who keeps feeding me also secretly collects the poop I bury. I thought you all liked it."
Lucien's silence was even more deafening.
Actually, the feces of the Nundu are indeed very valuable.
Although it feeds on poison, the feces excreted by the Nundu are the best source of antidotes.
So it's only natural that Newt would collect these.
However, to the Nundu, or rather, to other Magical Creatures, this behavior means someone is "stealing" their feces...
Lucien suddenly felt that being able to communicate directly with Magical Creatures was like opening another door.
That's really interesting.
After leaving the area of Nundu, Newt led Lucien and Liuguang on a further tour.
Along the way, Lucien personally experienced the wonder of Newt's suitcase.
For example, a seemingly simple curtain or partition can divide two different spaces, and the different environments will not interfere with each other.
This is the Scamander Family's closely guarded secret.
It's really powerful and convenient.
Following Newt, we encountered many Magical Creatures: the Kelpie, the Bowtruckle, the Occamy, the Demiguise, the Horned Serpent...
This little world encompasses almost all kinds of Magical Creatures.
Most of them are not found in the Forbidden Forest.
Lucien greatly broadened his knowledge and also expanded the records in the Circuit Expansion Stele.
Phew, with so many more samples added, we've taken another step forward on the path of Magical Creature Transfiguration.
"Boom--"
Thunder roared across the sky in an instant.
Lucien looked up and saw a large, golden bird appearing and disappearing among the dark clouds.
"Is that the Thunderbird?"
Newt nodded.
"Yes, an injured Thunderbird. Once I heal its wounds, I'll send it back to Arizona in North America."
"By the way, summer vacation should be starting soon, Lucien, are you interested in coming together?"
Lucien readily accepted Newt's invitation.
Read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles.
Traveling and observing more is also an important way to learn.
Suddenly, Lucien had a gut feeling that something was wrong.
He subconsciously reached into his pocket and touched the Circuit Expansion Stele.
This time, instead of the hard, cold feel of the slate, it felt like a fluffy, warm ball of fur...
Lucien gently grabbed the bundle and pulled it out of his pocket.
Looking at the adorable creature in my hands, covered in fluff and with a long nose,
"Niffler?"
