Vol 2 Chapter 402: Hunting (2 in 1)

At its peak, the giants were in Europe, and there were at least hundreds of tribes, large and small.
They are fierce by nature, and they often invade Muggle territories and produce small-scale Muggle slaughters. To this day, Muggle legends and fables still have many stories describing the brutality of giants.
Due to their natural fear of magic, few giants dare to attack the wizard village; but when encountering a lonely wizard, the cruel giants will not be merciful... Such giant attacks are not uncommon. New Bayi Chinese website first released https://https://
As early as the beginning of the eighteenth century, the newly established Ministry of Magic listed giants as "fantastic animals that must be eliminated".
Damocles-Roll, the infamous and unpopular second Minister of Magic (1718-1726), his only commendable act during his tenure was the signing of the "Giant Elimination Act"— According to the decree, any wizard, for every complete scalp of a giant handed over to the Ministry of Magic, can receive a reward of 50-100 gallons (100 gallons for adult giants, 50 gallons for the other).
When Aldridge Diggory, the fourth Minister of Magic, was in office, he created the Auror recruitment plan for the first time... The Aurors were originally created and trained for the purpose of hunting giants. .
The killing of wizards is only one element, and a more important reason is the cannibalism of the giants themselves... Giants are not a kind of magical animals suitable for large-scale groups, because their brutal nature makes them extremely difficult to live together. Prone to conflict. After their territories were destroyed by wizards and forced to drive to fixed settlements by wizards, the phenomenon of giants killing each other became extremely common, and they would beat up blood every day.
After two centuries of unremitting efforts, by the beginning of the 20th century, the total number of giants in Europe was less than 300, distributed in several small settlements...
During the First Wizarding War, most of these giants joined the mystery camp and caused the most tragic Muggle massacres... but they did not play a more important role in that war.
And with the sudden defeat of the mysterious man overnight, the giants also completely lost their tracks...at least in the British Isles, no giants have appeared in the past ten years.
It was not until more than a year ago that Albus Dumbledore’s confidant Rubeus Hagrid found the last remaining giants in the mountains of Dijon... But they soon joined the mysterious people camp again. , Against the wizarding world...
As one of the few students in the school who will listen carefully to Professor Bins's "History of Magic" course, Jon Hart is no stranger to the history of grievances between wizards, Muggles and giants.
Now that the giants have completely fallen to Voldemort and created the "West Coast Hurricane" event, which caused hundreds of Muggle casualties... Jon felt that it was right to wipe them out.
Therefore, in this operation, he directly sought help from the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic, not Dumbledore’s Order of the Phoenix... As a standard "dovish", Albus Dumbledore has always advocated peaceful exchanges for the giants On their side... In Jon's view, this was nothing but wishful thinking of Dumbledore.
And after the "hostage exchange" incident, the Ministry of Magic, which was forced to compromise with Death Eaters and mysterious people, suffered a great loss of reputation... They also eagerly hope to quickly do something to explain to the entire wizarding world.
...
The concealment magic set by Voldemort was quite clever, but under the cracking of many Aurors, it didn't take long to fall apart.
With a crisp explosion, the illusion of the previous "lake" completely disappeared from the eyes of the Aurors; instead, there was a creek with many disgusting "waste" floating on it, and after the creek, there were more than ten A cave at least twenty yards high.
Of course, there are two giants in the torn fight.
Ten minutes ago, they were distracted under the influence of Jon's "Powerful Confusion Potion", and they were torn into a ball over there...
but now--
The two giants released their hands one after another and stopped fighting; looking at the dozens of heavily armed wizards on the other side, even with the giant's IQ, they realized that the danger was approaching.
One giant raised the stick that fell to the ground, and the other giant tried to run towards the fire.
"Stop them!" Scrimgeour commanded loudly, "Don't let them warn!"
A dozen Aurors had quickly apparated to the giant's side, surrounding the two giants from different directions.
The Aurors did not cast a lot of offensive spells at the giants...in fact, it would be futile to do so. The hard skin of the giants gave them extremely high magic resistance, and half of the spells such as the coma spell could hardly cause too strong damage to them.
"Incarcerous...!"
I only heard those Aurors shouting one after another, they were all using the Confinement Curse
Thick ropes emerged out of thin air, entangled the feet of two giants...With the strength of giants, it is not difficult to break free of these ropes; but every time they break free, their huge bodies will be a little unstable.
The tall giant holding a wooden stick tried to wield the stick and knock down these annoying "bugs."
"Protego!"
And every time the giant swung down the stick, an Auror used the iron armor curse to protect his companion...
The other giant who leaped towards the fire was tripped by a thick twine, and suddenly lost his balance and fell to the ground completely-less than ten yards from the fire.
"Reducto..."
The giant just fell to the ground, and five smashing spells accurately hit the back of its head... to be more precise, it was the brain stem.
Other parts of giants are extremely hard and extremely resistant to magic, but the back of their heads are very fragile... Generally speaking, giant leaders like to wear helmets to protect their heads; but it is difficult for ordinary giants to have Such treatment. For the Aurors, this is also a little skill they have inherited for two centuries to hunt giants; otherwise, even if they use the Killing Curse, they may not achieve such good results.

After being hit by five smashing spells in a row, the giant's brainstem was almost shattered in an instant... The scene was a little and bloody, and Jon looked slightly sick.
And the giant that was hit by the Smashing Curse collapsed there and let out a violent howl... and it could no longer move half a step.
One giant was knocked down, and the other giant with a wooden stick was under more pressure... It did not hold on for too long. After just over ten seconds, it was tripped over by the rope of the "imprisoning curse". ; Then the Aurors did the same, making it hit the brainstem by the Smashing Curse.
...
The two "guards" giants were knocked down, and the Aurors passed the disgusting creek unimpeded.
Jon imposed a "Hovering Curse" on himself and "flyed" smoothly.
A dozen huge, bottomless caves still didn't make much noise inside...It seemed that the "masters" who lived in it did not hear the noisy fighting outside.
This is normal... the hearing of giants has always been bad. And this sound may be very dynamic to the short wizards; but to the adult giants 20-25 feet tall, it may be insignificant.
However, the Aurors who came to the entrance of the cave hesitated, including Rufus Scrimgeour.
The narrow range in the cave, if you rush in, after being discovered by the giants, it is easy for the giants to squash...
Jon followed behind Kingsley Shaker and looked at the Aurors who were hesitating outside the cave. He calmly began to flip in the suitcase.
"Oh?" Kingsley looked at him curiously and asked softly: "Jon... do you have any plans?"
"Of course!" Jon nodded without thinking, and then he had pulled out two crystal bottles from the suitcase.
Pour the potions in the two crystal bottles one by one on the ground, then Jon took out the wand:
"Flame ()!"
As a ball of flames emerged from the end of the wand, the ball of potion on the ground quickly emitted billowing black smoke.
Jon also covered his nose and explained to the Aurors on the side: "Living Hell Decoction... and Smoking Medicine... Everyone pay attention!"
Then Jon raised his wand against the billowing black smoke--
Under his command, black smoke drifted to the depths of one of the caves!
As a powerful sleeping pill, Living Hell Decoction can achieve good results even against creatures with extremely high magic resistance such as fire dragons and giants; and if the giants in the cave are still asleep, the effect will be even greater. Baton.
A small amount of smoking medicament can emit thick smoke...The thick smoke can absorb the decoction of living and bring it into the depths of the cave.
When the Aurors heard this, the expressions on their faces changed a little.
Several Aurors also followed Jon's example, covering their noses; Kingsley had already reacted--
He also took out his magic wand and, together with Jon, used the "blowing curse" to blow black smoke...
Almost black smoke was blown deep into the cave by them.
...
"Nice way..." Rufus Scrimgeour also walked over. He had just seen Jon's actions in the distance: "You brought the antidote to the decoction of living with you?"
The cave at this time was already full of the breath of living decoction. If you didn't take the antidote, even if the Aurors rushed in, they would easily be hypnotized.
"That's right!" Jon flipped through the suitcase again, uncovered a few crystal bottles, and then handed them to him.
Scrimgeour glanced at Jon in amazement, and the expression on his face appeared a bit of appreciation.
After taking one of the crystal bottles, he approached it cautiously, opened the bottle cap, slapped his hand a little to his nose, and smelled--
When it was confirmed that it was indeed the antidote to the decoction of living hell; Scrimgeour took a sip, then handed the crystal bottle to another Auror.
Several crystal bottles were passed in the hands of different Aurors, and soon, every Auror took the antidote to the decoction of living hell.
"Let's go, enter the cave, and catch the giants!" Scrimgeour decisively ordered: "Try to stay alive... But if the giants are not completely asleep, kill them!"
The Aurors divided into different teams and broke into the cave one by one.
Jon and Kingsley also broke into one of the caves, along with them were Auror Ni Fadora Tonks, and an Auror whom Jon did not know.
...
The hole looks rough, it should have been dug out with bare hands by the giants; there are almost no decorations, and the living conditions of the giants are not good.
Even though the Potion of Living Hell had been poured into the cave in advance, the giants inside must theoretically be asleep... But Jon and the Aurors appeared very careful along the way.
There was a sudden loud noise from ahead, which shocked Jon.
Kingsley motioned him not to act rashly, raising his wand and walking forward slightly.
"Fluorescence flicker (LumosMaximum)!"
The light from the end of Kingsley-Shackle's wand instantly illuminated the entire hole; Jon also discovered the source of the "noise" just now
He is a big and ugly male giant. His body is at least twenty feet tall, and his weight is visually comparable to two male elephants... His skin is as rough as a rhino, and his body is very fat. The remains of animals should be cattle and sheep. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
The sound just now was exactly what it made, and its chest was constantly rising and falling, making a heavy snoring sound.
Tonks couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief: "We have to take it out, before he wakes up... Rufus just said, try our best to survive!"
"Let’s work hard together!" Kingsley’s voice full of magnetism suggested: "lift it out."
The other Auror had no objection.
All three of them used the "Confinement Curse" and turned them into a lot of twine, and they quickly tied the giant tightly.
Then they lifted their wands above their heads in different directions, and muttered words...The giant's huge body was held up by them with a "floating spell" together, and then moved little by little in the direction of the cave entrance.
...
Jon Hart did not join them, he continued to walk deep into the cave.
Along the way, he saw two "little giants"... said they were small, but they were only relatively speaking. They were all at least one floor tall, but among the giants, they were definitely underage.
The two underage giants were also asleep, and Jon ignored them.
Keep moving forward... Finally, he found a female giant.
It is not difficult to distinguish the of giants from male and female from the outside...because it is difficult to completely cover them by relying on the "clothing" of animal skins on them.
Jon decided to try first.
He first tied the sleeping female giant with a confinement curse; just in case, he also sprinkled a lot of spores of the devil's net on the opponent.
After everything was prepared, he took out a small bottle of the antidote of Living Hell Decoction and poured it into the female giant...
From his sleep, the giant slowly opened his eyes
"Desperate Mind()!" A cold voice sounded in its ears.
