harry potter book of crimes

The distribution of living corpses will obviously vary with the changes in the terrain. Ever since Hermione chose to temporarily retreat all the way south, after entering the New Forest National Park, the number of living corpses on the ground has continued to increase with the number of trees.

increased, and decreased to a great extent as distance from London increased.

For the vast majority of living corpses that cannot fly, this does not seem to be a good place for them to wander aimlessly.

However, walking through the forest was obviously a waste of time for Hermione and the others. Not to mention... the shadows that would almost inevitably appear in the woods.

You know, the attacker hiding in the shadows was still following them!

"Please pay more attention. If it doesn't work, we have no choice but to fly over the forest." Hermione walked at the front of the team holding a glowing wand, talking as she walked, and at the end she couldn't help but remind her, "Luna,

Especially you - we're already here, don't get distracted anymore."

Probably because she was very concerned about the crowd she had sensed before, she couldn't help but look back several times after leaving.

But after hearing Hermione say this, she nodded immediately.

"oh."

At the moment, everyone is always alert to the surrounding situation. The entire team is led by Hermione, followed by Neville, with Ron, Hannah and Luna in the middle, taking care of Harry, who is in a coma, and

Ginny was protecting Harry in the center.

Of course, since the trees ahead are getting denser and denser, the formation cannot always be kept intact.

"I think it's actually better to just fly there," Ron couldn't help but said while looking around. "Although there are flying zombies, it's better than walking slowly in this place where there are shadows everywhere, isn't it?"

However, I don’t know what happened to the guy hiding in the shadow. Now he is no longer like before, he will come out to sneak attack when he seizes the opportunity. Now it has been more than ten minutes since entering the forest, but the other party has

There was still no movement at all, and one could not help but wonder if it had left secretly.

"Luna, is that guy still there?" Neville couldn't help but ask.

"Yes," Luna nodded slightly, "It's still... nearby."

"Yeah?"

He looked around again in confusion, and then shook his head in confusion - although they naturally didn't want the other party to attack them frequently, but now that it really doesn't come out, everyone has become more worried.

Got up.

Fortunately, the few living corpses wandering in the forest did not make their journey too "boring".

"boom!"

A spell passed through the forest, knocking a living corpse to the ground, and then Hermione went up to touch it again, so that the other person stopped moving.

Hermione did not use the rune cards again. After all, most of the zombies in the woods were just ordinary zombies. She had already lost a lot of rune cards in the previous continuous battles, so she had to be sparing now.

"Crash..."

After defeating the enemy, she flicked her wand, causing several branches of a tree to move, dragging the living corpses directly into the ground. Then, she waved her hand to signal everyone to move on.

In this way, everyone spent about an hour in a continuous cycle of rushing, meeting enemies, dealing with enemies, and continuing on the road, and finally passed through the forest area without any surprises.

"Just came out like this?"

Everyone looked at the woods that had been left behind, and even felt a little unreal. However, after leaving the forest, the number of living corpses outside gradually increased, and soon they did not have much time to go there.

Thinking about it.

"Get on the broom, let's go! We'll be safe for now if we fly to the sea first."

As soon as Hermione said this, everyone else immediately followed suit and mounted their broomsticks, and flew into the sky under the spell attacks of some zombies who had evolved magical talents, heading straight to Solent in the south, which was no longer far away.

The strait flies away.

"Huh?" Luna, who was lagging behind a little, suddenly turned around again, looked at the forest with some confusion and said to herself, "Won't it continue to follow?"

"What's wrong?" Hermione in front asked immediately after hearing this.

"It's the guy who attacked us before!" Luna said, "It stayed in the woods."

"That's a great thing!" Ron said quickly, "You can get rid of it."

Although Hermione was also very confused by this, as Ron said, this was undoubtedly a good thing. If she had been so alert all the time along the way for attacks that would appear at any time, no one would be able to survive.

"Well... Anyway, let's leave quickly!" She waved to Luna.

"okay."

Luna glanced back again, then put the matter aside and followed the team away from here, heading south.

…

There was a soft sound, and after Luna finally turned her head and continued on her way, it suddenly came from the shadow of a bush at the edge of the forest.

Then, a white hand reached out from between the trees, and a slightly petite figure pushed aside some branches and leaves and walked out.

It is worth mentioning that in her other hand, she is also dragging a dark humanoid creature. The creature's right arm is a long black blade, which is exactly the same as the twisted shadow that has repeatedly attacked Hermione and others before.

The black blade protruding from the middle is exactly the same.

"Are they going to the church?"

She stood at the edge of the forest and looked up at the figures who were gradually moving away. She muttered to herself, and then nodded gently.

"I don't know if Maka wants them to go...Forget it, just go back first and wait until they arrive! If you still can't get to the church without this guy following you, then it has nothing to do with me.

It’s related!”

After saying that, she casually dropped the "soft" guy she was dragging in her hand on the ground, then took out a wand and pointed at herself, then flew up from the ground unsteadily.

.

"It's not easy to make good use of this floating spell... Oh, by the way, carry this guy back. After all, he is an evolved individual. You can take it back and study it... The shadow rules are quite interesting. Maybe it's magic.

Ka will like it.”

Before she finished speaking, she quickly jumped over the treetops and flew crookedly in the direction of Winchester.

And soon, four figures with strange but extremely fast movements rushed out of the forest. They lifted the dark guy on the ground with all their hands and feet, and then disappeared into the woods again.
