Chapter 60： wounded unicorn

Hagrid spoke to them as he walked. "Listen, it's dangerous to do tonight—well, there's no safety in the Forbidden Forest," Hagrid sighed. "Even in the Forbidden Forest. I can't take it lightly after having been around for half my life...I don't want you two to have an accident because of carelessness, but this is indeed a very good opportunity to learn about magical beasts."

Hagrid led Tom and Hermione to the edge of the Forbidden Forest. He raised the oil lamp in his hand high, illuminating a small intestine path that gradually disappeared into the depths of the dense forest. There were a few drops of silvery white things flashing on the path. light.

"Unicorn blood," said Hagrid, pointing to the little silver, "very unusual. No unicorn has ever been injured so badly before. Generally speaking, unicorns don't come near the edge of the Forbidden Forest. We today The mission is to find the injured unicorn and put it out of pain."

A gust of breeze blew, and Tom couldn't help but shuddered and got goosebumps. At this time, Tom was a little fortunate, fortunate that he had made adequate preparations before coming here.

After exhorting them a few words, Hagrid entered the Forbidden Forest with two people and one dog. They walked along the path, one foot deep and one foot shallow, along the little bloodstains, and the moonlight sprinkled from the branches, making the blood in the forest more conspicuous.

Tom dipped a bit of blood with his finger. The moment he touched the blood, he felt a warm feeling. The blood was bathed in the moonlight and turned into a strange silver-blue color.

Tom also gets three missions while the moon shines on the unicorn's blood.

As several people went deeper, the bloodstains gradually became denser. Finally, in a clearing, they saw a sparkling creature. It lay unnaturally on the ground, its mane spread on the fallen leaves like silvery white pearls.

Originally graceful and beautiful creatures are now writhing and struggling in the mud.

Despite the distance, Tom could hear its painful gasps.

Hagrid didn't step forward immediately. Instead, he took a step back and retreated behind a tree. He wound up his giant crossbow before walking out with the crossbow.

"Fractured!"

When Hagrid walked to the edge of the clearing, a light flashed like lightning and flint, and in the woods not far away, there was a figure shrouded in black robes. It was he who launched the raid.

"Armor!" Tom responded very quickly and cast an iron armor spell on Hagrid, but the spell shattered like a piece of paper in front of the other party's cutting spell. Tom conservatively estimated that the cutting spell was at least level seven.

At the same time as the spell flew out, Hagrid also responded, he fired crossbow bolts, and at the same time dodged sideways. The crossbow arrow burst out of the air, emitting a sharp whistling, and the arrow also flashed a faint blue light, which was probably painted with some venom.

Then there were two loud noises, the giant crossbow in Hagrid's hand was broken into two pieces, and a bloodstain appeared on his shoulder, but the man in black was unscathed: his iron armor spell deflected the crossbow arrow. But before he could take any more action, there was a series of low thumping sounds beside the clearing.

Tom stood in front of Hermione, holding guns in both hands. The guns in his hands spit flames, and shot bullets at the mysterious man in black. Several blood flowers burst out from under the black robe, and the sudden blow made him stumble back two steps.

The steaming shell fell to the ground and rolled several times, removing the last trace of kinetic energy, leaving only wisps of white smoke.

At this moment, the face under the black robe became extremely distorted, the originally black eyes became narrow and long, and the hand was raised at a very unnatural angle, towards the direction of the bullet, and a sound like a snake's neighing sounded: "Awa Dassault!"

The green light flashed, but he felt lonely. After Tom emptied the magazine, he immediately dragged Hermione and tumbled into the bushes, where he disappeared. Hagrid also took the broken crossbow as a wooden stick and rushed up with it.

The black-robed wizard wanted to kill the killer again - in his opinion, although Hagrid's aura was fierce, he was just a reckless man, and he could easily kill him, but a huge three-headed dog ran wildly from the woods When he came out, the black-robed wizard turned around immediately, a plume of black smoke rose from his feet, and fled like a fly. He knows very well that at this time he can change at most one by one, or it is better to retreat quickly. The three-headed dog chased after him, and rushed into the opposite woods with him.

"Lu Wei?" Hagrid was shocked, he quickly followed, but when he ran into the woods, there was no shadow of the three-headed dog and the black-robed wizard?

The three-headed dog was naturally Tom, and he didn't have any blood on his head, so he went to hunt down Quirrell alone. The first time he ran into the woods, he changed direction, slipped away, and found a place where no one was around to change back into a human form. .

So what Hagrid saw was an empty wood.

He was at a loss: The three-headed dog just now should be his own Lou Wei, right? But why is Lou Wei here? All kinds of doubts almost burst his head.

But now is not the time to think about problems He first turned around, found Hermione and Tom hiding in the bushes, and brought them to the dying unicorn.

At this time, the unicorn's vitality was running out. It was lying on the ground, motionless, and could hardly even smell its breathing. Only the slight tremor between its chest and abdomen could indicate that it was still alive.

Hagrid was half-kneeling on the ground, seriously examining the unicorn, trying to save this innocent life. But after a while, Hagrid sadly found himself helpless, and the unicorn in front of him was helpless. Unless both Dumbledore and Newt Scamander are present, there is only one possibility.

Tom also knelt down beside the unicorn, he couldn't do anything. He could only gently stroke its neck, hoping to make it feel better.

"I will avenge you." He whispered such a sentence, and the unicorn's beautiful eyelashes trembled, but that was all. Soon, the gleam in the unicorn's eyes faded away.

It's dead. He died of serious injuries.

The last few drops of silver blood dripped from its wound, Tom caught the blood drop with his hand and looked at it carefully.

[Cursed blood: from a pure and innocent creature, it can bring an irreversible curse to the soul]

Tom thought for a while, took out his wand, and turned a branch into a cup. He collected the blood scattered on the nearby ground little by little, and then sealed the mouth of the cup.

"It's not advisable to stay here for a long time," Tom said seriously to Hagrid, who was still dejected. "We need to hurry to find Professor Dumbledore."

Hagrid also reacted. He knew that the black-robed man was likely to kill with a carbine, so he immediately got up and ran towards the castle with Tom and Hermione.
