The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

The moment he fell, Hal knew he was doomed.

Time began to slow down the moment he fell. In less than a second from the hunchback to the sand, Hal finished recalling his life...

boom!

He fell sideways on the sand and rolled a few times. The fine sand slightly slowed the impact of the ground, but he still heard the sound of the bones in his arms cracking.

From various angles, Hal's chance of survival is infinitely close to zero, but he is not a person willing to sit still and wait for death. Various experiences in his youth tempered his will to survive. He braved the wind and struggled to get up from the ground. He briefly checked the location of his injury and found that he was lucky. He only broke his arm. Although his thigh and waist were numb, no bones were injured.

If it was a broken leg, it was really doomed.

But now we are only half a step away from death. Sandstorms and deserts, any one of these two factors can be fatal.

He shook the dust off himself, but the next moment he was covered in more dust. Hal took two steps forward along the disappearing camel footprints. He suddenly realized how difficult it was to walk in the desert without the camel as a tool.

A raised stone on the ground tripped him. Just as Hal was lying on the ground, trying to spit out the sand in his mouth, he felt that the wind around him suddenly became lighter.

A big furry claw appeared in front of him, with dagger-like nails faintly visible between the claws. Hal looked up and found that a huge black beast was blocking the sand for him.

The beast was so huge that he could only see its body and front paws.

Hal shrank subconsciously, but before he could react further, his waist tightened and his whole body was picked up by the mysterious beast and hung two meters high in the air.

While shaking, he vaguely saw a huge dog head next to the monster. Hal was stunned for a moment. At first he thought it was a giant wild dog standing on the side, but later he realized that the dog's head and the body behind it were one.

Suddenly, a turmoil arose in his heart: Since the dog's head is on one side, what is it holding him in its mouth?

He had already judged that the giant beast he encountered should be a giant dog, but what was going on with this head? Is it a two-headed dog? Hal couldn't believe it.

Creatures such as two-headed snakes and two-headed turtles have existed in nature, but this is the first time a two-headed dog has been discovered! And regardless of the number of heads, this dog is too big!

While he was thinking, the strange dog started to move.

Hal could feel the strange dog running wildly with him in its mouth, which made him feel slightly relieved: at least the strange dog didn't eat him immediately, and then things would turn around. What's even better is that having a strange dog in its mouth actually increases his chances of surviving the sandstorm. After all, this thing grew up in the desert, so it looks very powerful, so it won't be killed in a sandstorm, right?

The strange dog is of course Tom.

He transformed into a three-headed dog as soon as he jumped off the hump. With just this delay, the camel team ran at least twenty meters away, and the footprints on the ground quickly faded.

The camel team ran with the wind, so Tom had to go against the wind when he returned. Fortunately, the three-headed dog was big and had a stable chassis, so it could move forward steadily against the wind. Tom followed the traces left by the camel team and the smell in his nose, and ran fifty or sixty meters before finding Dr. Hunter lying on the ground.

He lowered his head, took Dr. Hunter's belt in his mouth, and started chasing the camel caravan with him.

Traveling with the wind, the speed was much faster, and Tom gradually caught up with the camel team. He followed a camel and threw Dr. Hunter in his mouth. Dr. Hunter, who narrowly escaped death, had no time to think about the cause and effect of the incident. He just grabbed the mane on the camel's neck with force.

After completing his mission, Tom plans to return to his camel. At this time, with his keen ears, he heard a strange sound: the sound was the same as the sound of the camel team running, but it was much louder.

He looked towards the source of the sound and saw countless animals running wildly, led by a huge white camel. An ordinary camel's hump is about two meters high from the ground and its body is three meters long. It is already a giant. But the white camel is actually two times bigger than such a creature. Tom thinks its hump is probably 2.5 meters.

Behind the white camels were several ordinary dromedary camels. Their humps were smaller and sharper than those of the domestic camels in the camel team. Their bodies were slender, their hooves were small, and their hair was not as thick. Dense and looks more energetic.

In addition to camels, there are other creatures such as wolves and sheep. But the most eye-catching thing is the black cat on top of the white camel.

Seeing this group of wild animals, Yu Shadu shed tears of excitement from the corner of his eyes: God still favored him!

Others also realized that these desert animals must know where to find shelter from sandstorms! The camels under them didn't even need the owner's instructions, and they took the initiative to follow the white camel with the black cat on its head.

Tom couldn't remember how far they had run since the beginning of their escape, but after the white camel led them around a huge sand mountain, everything suddenly became clear: an extremely well-preserved ruins of an ancient city appeared in front of them. Everyone in the team was amazed by this huge and magnificent city.

The walls of the ancient city have experienced many years of wind and frost. Even if they occasionally collapse, they still stand in place. Relying on these city walls, several tall sand mountains were formed, and a group of sand dunes were formed outside the sand mountains. Layers of sand dunes and sand mountains completely surrounded and covered the ancient city.

The first time Tom saw it, his instinct told him: This was the ancient city they were looking for that was lost in the long river of time.

The junction area between the sand mountains is the gap in the city wall.

White Camel took the lead, found a passage between the hills, passed through the city wall through the gap formed after a section of the city wall collapsed, and entered the ancient city. The animals behind it followed closely in its footsteps and entered the city.

The road between the dunes was not wide, and the herd slowed down here. Tom also took the opportunity to change back to his human form, climbed onto his camel, patted Hermione, and signaled to her that he was safe. Hermione stiffened when she felt someone was behind her. She didn't look back, she just lay stiffly on the camel's back, her goggles blurry.

There are herbivores, carnivores, and scavengers in the herd in front of them. They usually have a predatory relationship when they meet each other, but now they coexist harmoniously, and they even line up to enter the city together.

Soon it was the camel team's turn to enter the city. The camels panted heavily and ran through the mysterious ruins of the city.
