Kyle and Newt quickly followed.
Lu Wei's location was not far from the depression of the eight-eyed giant spider.
After walking for about ten minutes, Kyle suddenly heard an excited roar.
Then the ground began to vibrate, and Lu Wei ran over from not far away, breaking countless branches along the way.
Lou Williams finally stopped in front of Kyle, lowered his head excitedly, and swung his three tongues at Kyle at the same time.
Kyle jerked back and dodged.
Lu Wei's tongue slapped the tree next to him, scraping off a layer of bark.
Looking at Kyle's actions, Lou Williams and his three heads tilted at the same time, as if they didn't understand why he was hiding.
Obviously Hagrid likes this very much.
How about, let’s do it again?
Looking at the three-headed dog sticking out its tongue again, Kyle quickly waved his hand to stop him from expressing his joy in this way.
Lou Williams was bigger than before, looking like a small mountain, and he didn’t care how hard he attacked.
Kyle is not as resistant as Hagrid. This tongue blow will definitely make him pass out.
He stretched out his hand, and Lou Williams immediately lay down. Three heads rushed forward, enjoying Kyle's skillful dog-stroking skills.
Until it noticed Newt behind it.
For a moment, Lu Wei's expression became fierce again, but under Kyle's comfort, he did not move.
"Don't be nervous, kid, we've met before, remember?"
Newt walked slowly forward and stood in front of it with his hands outstretched.
Newt and Fluffy did meet once when Kyle was in second grade, but with the three-headed dog's brain, it obviously couldn't remember things that happened so long ago.
But this did not bother Newt.
He gently placed his hand on Fluffy's nose and scratched each of his three chins.
After a series of operations, Lu Wei soon squinted his eyes comfortably and made a humming sound from his mouth.
At this time, there was a sudden rustling movement in the trees on the right.
Kyle initially thought it was a giant spider following him, but when he turned around he realized that was not the case.
In the bushes, a pair of blue eyes were watching them warily. Through the moonlight, you could vaguely see the lion-like body behind the eyes, as well as a long tail with a poisonous needle.
It is a beast with a human head, a lion body and a scorpion tail.
As if it noticed the movement here, it came over by itself.
When Kyle looked over, the manticore immediately made a deep voice, "Human, get out of here!"
However, before Kyle could say anything, Lu Wei refused to give in. He stood up suddenly, and his three heads roared at the human-headed lion-body scorpion-tailed beast at the same time.
The opponent was not to be outdone and made the same roar as Lu Wei.
"The most famous thing about the Manticore is that they have a superb language talent." Newt explained, "When this creature was first discovered, because they had a head similar to that of a human and could speak human language, they were defined as "human" like centaurs, banshees, and vampires.
But later people found that the character of the man-headed lion-body manticore was too violent and difficult to communicate with, so they removed it from the list of "people" in 1269.
As Newt spoke, the argument between the Manticore and Fluffy became more intense. It was obvious that they had not reached a consensus.
So, the two hot-tempered guys started fighting after a disagreement.
The surrounding trees were immediately affected. A large number of them were knocked down and smashed to the ground with a loud bang, even covering up their roars for a while.
Originally, the human-headed sphinx-body scorpion-tailed beast was not afraid of the three-headed dog because of its speed advantage and the poisonous needle on its tail.
But because of the injury on its hind legs, it couldn't run fast at all. Within a few minutes, it was knocked to the ground by Lou Williams, and its tail was stepped on.
"Human, I give up!"
It looked at Kyle and Newt, "I promise I won't hurt you, let this idiot let me go."
Kyle raised an eyebrow, "Is this... difficult to communicate?"
"There are exceptions to everything." Newt laughed, "Not everyone can have a three-headed dog around."
"That's right."
Kyle walked over and patted Fluffy's tail, and he reluctantly let go of his claws.
The human-headed, lion-bodied scorpion-tailed beast turned around and quickly got up from the ground. At the same time, it took a big step back, staring at Lu Wei and always keeping a relatively safe distance from him.
"Idiot..." It cursed first, then looked at Kyle, "Human, you shouldn't be here."
“We mean no offense.” Newt walked forward, raised his arms one high and one low, raised one leg slightly, leaned forward, and stood for a while in a very weird and funny posture.
"Relax, we have no ill intentions, we just want to help you..."
Following Newt's signal, Kyle followed suit.
Although it was a bit embarrassing, it was indeed effective. For some reason, the vigilance in the eyes of the human-headed sphinx was reduced a lot, and it did not stop them from slowly approaching.
In fact, this was not the first time Kyle had done this, but it still felt incredible.
He couldn't understand how Newt had figured out these positions.

Chapter 421 Shameless Old Spider
By the time the two of them slowly walked over, the human-headed, lion-bodied, scorpion-tailed beast had regained its composure.
It looked at Lu Wei who was following behind with his teeth bared, and took another step back.
"That fool isn't hostile," it said. "You know Hagrid?"
"He is my professor." Kyle said, standing still. "We came here late at night because we heard that you were injured... We want to help you."
"help me?"
"That's right." Kyle nodded, took a look at its bandaged hind legs and said, "We have a lot of experience in treating this kind of bite, and we are absolutely professional."
Newt also took out a bottle of medicine powder at the right time and walked to the side of the manticore's front legs.
That place had just been bitten by Lu Wei and was bleeding continuously.
Feeling the pain from the wound, the human-headed sphinx-body scorpion-tailed beast couldn't help but curse Lu Wei again.
If I had known, I would not have followed Hagrid here. He also said that the three-headed dog could protect it from being disturbed by other creatures during its recovery period... What kind of protection is that? It would rather face those big spiders now...
Newt pushed aside its thick fur and sprinkled the powder on the wound.
This powder was specially prepared for fire dragons when Newt went to Rome. It is a mixture of white cumin essence and a variety of different herbs, and even a drop of phoenix tears.
It is useful against fire dragons, and naturally it is no problem against human-headed sphinxes and scorpion-tailed beasts as well.
Soon, the bleeding stopped.
The pain gradually disappeared... The manticore looked at Newt in surprise.
Hagrid changed the herbs for several days, but the healing effect was not as good as in just a few minutes.
"I told you, we are professionals." Kyle said with a smile and took out a fresh beef leg.
Lu Wei came over immediately, twitching his nose hard and drooling all over the floor.
"It's not your place."
Kyle slapped the middle one on the head and said, "You bit someone and you still have the nerve to come and eat? Go away."
Lu Wei felt a little aggrieved, but he still obediently lay on the ground and covered his eyes and nose with his claws.
Out of sight is pure.
But it has three heads, and its two front paws are obviously not enough. The middle head can only close its eyes and stick its nose into a hollow tree stump next to it.
Seeing Lu Wei's appearance, the mood of the human-headed sphinx-body scorpion-tailed beast suddenly improved a lot. When tearing the cow's legs, it deliberately made a loud noise.
Lu Wei covered his ears again.
While the manticore was eating the cow's leg, Newt removed its bandages and began to apply medicine again.
The bleeding of the wound stopped and the food was eaten again. Its attitude towards Kyle and Newt became more friendly, and it even took the initiative to chat with Newt.
His emotions are as stable as the Sphinx, and there is no sign of a "violent personality" at all.
From late night to early morning.
As the sky got brighter, Kyle, who had stayed in the Forbidden Forest all night, prepared to leave. Today was Monday and he still had classes to attend.
Newt decided to stay for a while. He originally wanted to send Kyle out of the Forbidden Forest and then come back, but Fluffy followed him first, so he gave up the idea.
After leaving the messy bushes, Kyle looked at Lu Wei who was feeling a little depressed, and quietly took out three dried warthog legs.
Lu Wei's eyes suddenly lit up and he began to drool again.
"Eat it quickly, this thing is much more delicious than beef leg..." Kyle patted its head.
Lu Wei immediately pounced over excitedly, ate it all in just a few bites, and licked his lips with satisfaction.
Kyle pulled out three more.
This was a small snack he prepared for Norbert. Although it was not enough to fill Lou Williams up, it could still satisfy his craving.
After feeding Fluffy, Kyle took him to the depression where the eight-eyed giant spider was.
Before returning to the castle, he had to collect his spoils.
But when they got closer, Kyle unexpectedly saw a tall figure.
It was Hagrid. He was talking to Aragog. As the old spider spoke, he was gesticulating with his hands and looking very excited.
Kyle could still hear some fragmentary words.
"... the little wizard... is immoral... came to attack... to extort venom..."
Kyle twitched his lips.
He thought of many possibilities, breaking the contract, ambushing and attacking, but he never expected that the old spider would actually go to Hagrid to complain.
