Living in a Villa in the Wild
"Sirius, why did you have to make us do this, sneaking over to watch the game?"
"I'm just worried Harry will feel pressured if he sees us. Besides, if Headmaster Dumbledore finds out we sneaked into Hogwarts without being notified, he'll definitely punish us! Just bear with it for now, I'll treat you to Little Red Riding Hood later."
Pansy also took out the beer she had secretly bought during the holidays and laid it all out on the table. Goyle and Crabbe tore at the roast chicken in front of them, their mouths dripping with oil. Olivia was already a little drunk, leaning on Theodore's shoulder, watching the scene with a silly grin.
The Weasley twins were scrambling for the last fried chicken leg. Although they had eaten Zhu Yu Grass that afternoon and weren't hungry at all, they enjoyed the competitive atmosphere. They were really going at it, almost coming to blows. Su Yu was chatting with the girls, telling them all sorts of strange and wonderful stories in a low voice, which made the girls occasionally make exaggerated expressions and scream.
Harry looked at the scene before him, which reminded him of the warmth and beauty of the Weasley family the Burrow. Now, however, he lacked a brother to talk to. But this time, he absolutely, positively wouldn't be the first to apologize to Ron. Listening to the laughter and chatter around him, he simply missed his brother a little.
Neville and Cedric discussed various Potions -making methods, while Blaise and Cedric had long since disappeared, probably hiding in some secluded corner, secretly kissing, hugging, and being lifted up high. Su Yu didn't bother with them, as long as they didn't go out unnecessarily. In the evening, Cho Chang and Su Yu set up numerous talismanic barriers around the villa and summoned several stone statues to guard the doors and windows, so that even if no one was on night watch, everyone could sleep until dawn.
However, compared to the other colleges, their situation was visibly miserable. Beauxbatons was assigned to the vicinity of Mount Buzhou in the Western Classic of the Great Wilderness. The days were scorching hot, and the nights were filled with howling winds. Phoebe felt she had aged considerably in just one afternoon. The wind howled outside, as if it might blow the tent away at any moment. Phoebe and the others huddled together cautiously inside the tent, eating their cold canned food, looking like wilted eggplants. Sigh, when would this end?
Durmstrang Institute students arrived at the Land of Nü Chou's Corpse in the Western Classic of Regions Beyond the Seas. They had already thrown away their prized bearskin coats and kept complaining about what a terrible place this was. The scorching sun beat down on them, the drought was severe and there was no water source. The surrounding area was deserted. They felt like they were there just to survive. A group of them gathered around the campfire, calculating how long their supplies would last and praying to leave this hellish place as soon as possible.
The students of Wagadu were also assigned to the Western Classic of Regions Beyond the Seas, but they arrived in the Wuxian Country, which was full of poisonous snakes and curses. During the day, they had to guard against the natives, and at night, they had to guard against the poisonous snakes. In just one afternoon, several of their companions had already fallen victim to the poison. Fortunately, they had brought some antidotes with them, otherwise, they would have lost many people on the first day.
The Ilvermorny was relatively lucky. When they opened their eyes, they saw a piece of paper marked with their mission objective. It stated that they were near the Deep-Eyed Country in the Northern Classic of Overseas. There was no major danger, but the people here were rather strange. They all had one big eye—yes, one eye—and they were somewhat xenophobic, often secretly throwing stones at them and burning their tents at night.
"Oh God, I wish I could capture them and plant cotton! Getting hit by that hurts so much!" one of the young wizards couldn't help but exclaim.
The Castelobruxo in Brazil was teleported to the Land of the Black Serpents in the Southern Classic of the Great Wilderness. The area was filled with miasma that stretched as far as the eye could see. They had already encountered several giant Black Serpent, even in the water, which would suddenly appear from the side, opening their blood-red mouths. It was a truly terrifying situation. Fortunately, they often dealt with Fantastic Beasts and knew some of the habits and body language of snakes, so they were able to cope.
The Russia Koldovstoretz arrived in a place called the Land of the Husband Country, located Western Classic of Regions Beyond the Seas. It was a place inhabited entirely by men, all of whom carried swords and were always ready to duel with them. Fighting? These Russia men weren't afraid at all; they uprooted the trees next to them and started fighting with the locals. Temperament? The fighting nation was not to be outdone.
The students at the Quidditch match were stunned. Had Su Yu and his friends cheated? Were they on a match? Anyone who didn't know better would think they were on vacation. They'd even set up a huge villa and were eating so heartily. The heads of all seven houses glared fiercely at Dumbledore. They also felt this was unfair. If they didn't know that the East University disdained playing this game, they would have already started protesting.
As for the Japanese Mahoutokoro, several of them were eaten by some mysterious creatures as soon as they arrived near the Ghost Country. They didn't even know what they were. All they could hear were the screams and wails of their teammates. Watching their teammates being dragged away or even killed in an instant, they were completely devastated. They were hiding together, trembling with fear.
Mochizuki Seigen's face, now blind in one eye, was filled with ruthlessness. His fingers were clenched until they bled as he secretly vowed that he would definitely take revenge. Damn Su Yu, damn Dumbledore, damn Hogwarts!
"Hey! Come and see! What's that? It's glowing!" Cho Chang, who had just finished dinner, planned to sit on the balcony and have a cup of coffee. But to her surprise, as soon as she carried her coffee to the balcony, she saw a tree not far away emitting a bright light, illuminating the surroundings.
Su Yu and the others also walked out of the hall and saw several trees around them that looked like streetlights.
"These are Migu Tree. It seems we're very lucky. Legend has it that if you wear their branches, you'll never get lost."
"Doesn't that mean we don't have to wander around anymore? Carrying its flower branch will automatically guide us in the right direction?"
"That's right, you've done a great job this time, Cho Chang." Su Yu smiled and walked towards the Migu Tree, jumped up, picked a few branches, and handed them to everyone.
The next morning, after everyone packed their things, Su Yu transformed the villa back into a large tree and led the group on their way down the mountain. On the way down, he even activated his Tenseigan and discovered a Xingxing that was being hunted by other strange beasts and was about to die. He rescued it from danger, but it was too late, and the Xingxing eventually succumbed to its wounds. That night, the group had no choice but to eat a barbecue buffet with tears in their eyes, and everyone's stamina limit increased significantly.
During this time, Kurama continued to collect treasures, and she even found several pieces of Yupei. Su Yu explained to everyone that carrying this thing would prevent parasitic diseases, as well as abdominal lumps and stomach stones.
Kurama, however, was not very interested in this. She wouldn't get those diseases anyway, so she took the Yupei and traded it with the Weasley twins for a few large fireworks. It was hard to tell who lost and who gained, but Kurama was quite happy. Every night she would pester Su Yu to give her large fireworks, but Su Yu refused, saying that setting off fireworks in the mountains could easily cause a fire.
