Hogwarts: Harley from The Witch Way
Chapter 41 Hunter and Prey
The Forbidden Forest is eerily quiet at night.
The wind blew gently, and the leaves in the forest were rustling, but it was even more silent.
There were no birdsong or insects in the whole forest. It was not at all like the forbidden forest full of dangerous creatures and werewolves howling in the middle of the night that the students said.
At the edge of the Forbidden Forest, there was a trail that gradually disappeared into the black jungle, but Harry didn't choose to take this path.
She lifted her invisibility, wore a light tights, grabbed a bump on a big tree, and quickly climbed up.
Afterwards, Harley used the ability brought to him by the assassin, relying on the vines and intertwined branches between the branches, to move quickly and silently in the forest.
Harley's goal is to find the unicorn. But she knew that the probability of her success this time was not high.
As an assassin, how could it be possible to complete the mission without collecting the previous information?
But Harry is very patient. If he doesn't succeed this time, he will wait until the next time. After all, she can afford to wait.
Harley kept jumping and moving towards the depths of the Forbidden Forest. She wants to find the lake first.
There has never been any trace of magical animals in the Forbidden Forest coming to drink water on the edge of the Black Lake, only ordinary animals at most.
Therefore, the group of unicorns who need to drink water must drink around the lake in the Forbidden Forest. Using the lake as a benchmark, we can find unicorn populations more effectively.
Fortunately, when visiting Hagrid, Harry had already figured out the approximate location of the lake in the Forbidden Forest, which saved her a lot of time.
Halfway through the journey, Harry stopped abruptly, slid down against the tree trunk, and stood firmly on the ground.
Harry looked at a silver-blue, glistening patch of blood on the ground at his feet.
The spirituality in the blood has almost been lost, but it can be seen that it definitely comes from a powerful magical creature.
Is it a unicorn? Harry murmured. She had consulted Professor Snape in a small class and learned that unicorn blood was a shining silvery blue.
Halle changes plans. She took out a small shovel and a hollow crystal ball from her bag, scooped up some coagulated blood, and put it into the crystal ball.
Later, she added several materials to the crystal ball, using it as a medium to cast the curse.
This curse points to the bloody unicorn, but it only helps Harry guide the unicorn.
The liquid in the crystal ball quickly condenses into a small ball, which sticks tightly to the inner wall of the crystal ball.
Harry looked in that direction, without hesitation, and quickly ran according to the guidance.
...
In the crystal ball, the direction of the liquid ball is constantly changing, as if the unicorn is constantly moving.
This made Harry even more alert.
According to the textbook Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, unicorns live in groups, and at night, except for the unicorn that is in charge of vigilance, the other unicorns are resting.
But now it, or they, are moving wildly.
Considering that the unicorns are unlikely to hunt for a late-night snack, their diet is vegetarian after all.
Then there can only be people, or other creatures, hunting unicorns.
The unicorn itself contains powerful magic power, and its strength is definitely not weak. Therefore, the existence that can hunt and kill unicorns cannot be so weak.
This set off alarm bells in Harry's heart, and the bag on his back was also slung across his side, ensuring that he could quickly retrieve some essentials from it.
Several pocket knives and wands also slipped from their sleeves into Harry's hands.
Although due to limited conditions, Harley did not get a high-quality dagger, but just took a few table knives while eating.
However, after the table knives are polished, various essential oils, hydrosols, and ritual enchantments are added, these table knives also cut iron like mud, and come with curses.
At the same time, Harley disappeared into the air again, no longer moving quickly with the branches, but slowly sneaking in the shadows.
Finally, the liquid ball in the crystal ball no longer changed its orientation, but just pointed straight in the same direction.
A thought suddenly flashed in Harry's mind: That hunter succeeded.
But even so, she was not impatient. There is more than one unicorn in the Forbidden Forest, and Harry doesn't believe that the unknown hunter can kill the unicorn population.
More importantly, as a former assassin, Harley has enough patience.
But Harry didn't sneak for long. After a short five-minute journey, Harry saw a white corpse in a clearing in the forest.
It was the body of a unicorn. The slender legs of the unicorn maintained the posture when it fell, stretching unnaturally.
The white mane is spread on the fallen leaves, and the moonlight shines on it, reflecting the bright silver light.
However, the unicorn's body was missing its head.
Where the head should be, a figure wrapped in a black cloak was lying on his throat, swallowing blood.
Seeing that figure, Harry's spirituality gave a warning.
That's a demigod-level powerhouse! Harry's eyes widened in an instant, and he hid his aura more and more cautiously.
No! Harry thought quickly in his mind, This is not a complete demigod, he was definitely injured.
If he was in peak condition, then my spirituality would not be such an ordinary warning, but would directly call the police frantically.
By the way, unicorn blood has a strong curse, but drinking it can prolong life.
He was badly wounded, so he needs the blood of the unicorn to restore his vitality...
Harry kept scanning the surrounding environment, and found the lost head of the unicorn on the grass not far away.
The wound is a smooth scar, and it seems that it was directly killed by an unknown magic. Harry recalled the knowledge he had learned during this period,
It's not a cutting spell. It's hard to hurt a powerful magical creature like a unicorn with a cutting spell. It's recorded in the book.
It must be some kind of unknown black magic, if he finds me, I need to be on my guard.
Not necessarily, maybe a demigod can cut a unicorn? Even though he was severely injured, the former personality is still...
While Harley was collecting information about the enemy, a cold, hoarse voice filled with madness sounded: Idiot, you are being watched! There is someone on your left!
The figure immediately stopped drinking blood, stood up, and looked in Harry's direction.
The muscles in Harry's whole body tensed instantly, but he didn't choose to run away immediately.
Judging from the voice and tone of speech, there were two people opposite, one of whom was a seriously injured demigod.
At this time, the other party had already reacted, and focused on Harley.
Although Harley is sure to escape in the first place, she still has to pay a big price.
It's better to use the IQ boost brought by the instigator to Harley, and find a way to divert the enemy's attention, so as to leave at the least cost.
Thinking of this, Harry took out a mask from the backpack cross-body. This mask was blown out of the wizarding firecrackers at Christmas.
Harley put on this mask that could only cover the upper half of his face, then got out from the shadows, and bowed gracefully:
Good evening, Mr. Hunter!
