430 Magic and Curses

On the other side, Karan and the others also encountered trouble.

"There are many obstacles! Defeat them quickly!"

Karan, the only one who could cast magic, recited a spell loudly, and the spell shot out from the tip of the elder wand, hitting the strange branch that was hanging down and constantly attacking several people!

"Run!"

He turned and shouted.

Regulus, Steve, and Wolf had already started running as fast as they could.

Steve yelled as he ran: "What the hell is going on? Can the elder tree survive?"

Karan also ran and shouted: "How do I know?! But you'd better pray that my wand doesn't become like them, otherwise you will have to carry me out!"

"Carrying Karan?" Regulus didn't know the disadvantages of the crown, so he looked at Steve in confusion.

However, Steve had never seen Karan's soul tortured with his own eyes, but this did not stop him from using his intelligence. While panting, he reminded Karan: "Use the fire spell quickly! These are just branches. , burn them down quickly!”

Karan, who finally caught up, gave Steve a fierce look: "Once the fire ignites, we will only die faster, and we will be burned alive before we can escape from the Forbidden Forest!"

Steve shrank his head. He imagined several people turning into charcoal, and he no longer dared to raise any opinions.

The swarms of branches were faster than arrows, stabbing at several people one by one.

Karan kept casting spells, and the obstacle spell was the most effective in hindering these attacks, making them freeze in the air.But then, the elder trees around them would also become alive and attack them again.

"It would be nice if I could use the explosive spell..."

Karan took the time to look at the dark branches behind him. He didn't know how tall these big trees were. The branches extending from them were always chasing a few people, as if they had grown to countless lengths, and continued later. The branches that appeared joined together, making the attacks more and more frequent and fierce!

"It can't go on like this!"

Karan made up his mind and said, he lowered his head and looked at Wolf, who was running the most easily: "In a moment, you put my body on Wolf's back and let him carry me and run, but don't let me fall! "

"What are you going to do?" Steve looked at Karan in horror.

Karan suddenly stood still. He faced the surging arrows and raised the elder wand in his hand. Cold sweat dripped from his forehead due to pain——

"Thunderbolt explosion!"

With a loud bang, the black mass exploded from the middle to both sides in turn, as if it had been discussed in advance. The magic light that was countless times brighter than the spark spell suddenly lit up in the air, and even the nearby towering elder trees were illuminated. A big hole was made from the waist, and it seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

The strange offensive was finally temporarily stopped, and Karan immediately lay straight on the ground.

Regulus was stunned by the scene in front of him. Fortunately, he still had Steve as his roommate.

He muttered, "As expected of you," then picked up the suitcase in his hand and walked quickly towards the collapsed Karan.

"I have an idea, which is infinitely better than putting you on Wolf - why not put you in the suitcase. Me and - Regulus! Regulus! We also got into the suitcase, So as not to hold Wolf back, he can run faster than anyone else!"

Karan's face twitched with approval, and Regulus hurried over to help Steve move Karan into the suitcase.

Immediately afterwards, Steve dug into the pocket of Karan's witch robe, and as he expected, he grabbed a large handful of magic thread - a tool that would be used to fix the suitcase later.

"How many things have you secretly hidden?"

Wolf outside walked to the suitcase, and Steve exposed his upper body from it, and tied the suitcase firmly to Wolf's body little by little.

Regulus, who was showing his eyes next to the gap, suddenly patted Steve's body in panic: "Look! Look over there!"

"What's wrong?" Steve turned his head in confusion while tying the knot.But in the next second, his eyes widened in horror - the elder tree that was about to be broken at the waist was growing slowly, and it seemed that it would not be long before it returned to its intact appearance.

This wasn't over yet - the stones on the ground trembled little by little, and the earth shook inexplicably - deep in the distant Forbidden Forest, Steve vaguely saw something stirring.

"Run, Wolf!"

Steve urged anxiously, and Wolf immediately ran, carrying the opened suitcase in the direction of Hogwarts.

Regulus finally squeezed his head out of the suitcase. He and Steve looked at the direction of the strange agitation from a distance, and asked in a panic: "What is that? Another lot of branches?!"

Steve shook his head in confusion, holding down his hair that was blown by the wind: "I can't see clearly yet, but it's best not to be something weird - no!"

Steve suddenly came to his senses. He plucked his hair twice randomly, then turned his head to look at Wolf's blown silver satin hair, and finally looked at the elder trees swaying slightly on both sides.

Regulus couldn't understand Steve's actions at first, until a blown stone hit him in the face: "It hurts - eh?"

"Why is it suddenly windy?"

He remembered that when he first came to this world, not only were there no stars and moon in the sky, there was not even a breath of wind around him.

"Oops..." Steve suddenly murmured on the side: "I seem to know why there are no other people's footprints on the ground..."

Like a wave, the ground in the distance is rising violently, but the vast forest is still firmly fixed on the wave. And judging from the speed, it seems that it won't be long before this "wave" will arrive in front of a few people!

"This, this, this, this... what the hell is this!"

Steve was so frightened that he couldn't even speak clearly. He didn't think that these people would get the same treatment as the trees. Instead, they would definitely be buried underground!

"Run! Wolf!"

Steve shouted heartbreakingly: "I'm not an adult yet! I don't want to die!"

Regulus also said in fear: "I will never hang out with James and the others again."

Wolf screamed, which meant the same thing as the two of them - it was too absurd to die here inexplicably.

Only Karan, who was lying flat on his back in the workshop, didn't know what happened, but even if he knew, it would probably be useless. After all, he couldn't fly.

"Go to the tree!"

Seeing the "wave" getting closer and closer, Steve said in a hurry: "Wolf, climb to the tree quickly! Just find any tree, any tree will do!"

This seems to be the only way. The ground wave caused by it has no intention of harming the woods. It is completely aimed at a few people. As long as they hide in the tall trees, nothing will happen.

Wolf then picked the nearest big tree. This elder tree was so thick that even several people surrounding it couldn't hold it.

Fortunately, the experience of living in the Forbidden Forest when he was young had an effect, and Wolf could actually climb trees. He dug the sharp spikes of his claws into the trunk, fixed it firmly on it, and then climbed higher and higher little by little. Climb.

The opened suitcase was tied to its body facing the sky. Steve and Regulus both exposed their heads. They looked at the approaching waves with pale faces.

"This should be fine..."

There was a hint of doubt and uncertainty in Steve's voice.

However, Wolf roared again, and Regulus asked doubtfully: "What is it talking about?"

Steve's face suddenly became even paler, and he stared at the black shadows falling from the sky:

"It's saying...don't forget about those spooky branches."

This is really unlucky.

Wolf wanted to continue climbing higher, but Steve quickly stopped it and let it stop on a stronger branch. While untying the magic thread, he said worriedly: " I can’t let you continue going up, those branches will stab you to death - come on, come in, let’s hide in the suitcase together.”

Wolf gently rubbed his head against Steve's cold cheek, and it rushed into the suitcase from where Regulus had stepped aside. Then Steve tied the suitcase to the branches and closed it. Lid, tremblingly walked down the stairs into the workshop.

There were still constant vibrations outside, as well as the sound of branches poking at the suitcase.

Regulus told Karan what happened outside.

Steve added miserably: "We're probably going to die soon. Do you have anything to say? But it's useless even if you say it. The rest of us are probably going to die together with you - I never thought I would die in a place like this, and in this situation. I originally thought I would die surrounded by cubs of magical animals, surrounded by my books and honors, and then Let Dugal help bury my body together with my parents - I know what you are thinking, but I think Dugal can still live for a long time, and in the worst case, let his children help - By the way, I have to ask it not to be seen by Muggles. My body will definitely be worth a lot of money by then, and every inch will be the glory of the greatest magizoologist. How many people do you think will pay homage to my body then?"

Faced with the fear of death, Steve turned into a loquacious chatterbox, but it's hard to say whether this was because of Karan's inability to move - otherwise he would have gone away with a brain breakdown.

Regulus also had a miserable expression on his face. Every sound of a branch hitting the suitcase would startle him, causing him to carefully check the sealing condition while muttering: "We won't really die in this." Here, right? By the way, there's James and Sirius - we can hide in the suitcase, but where can they hide?"

No one could give him an accurate answer.

Wolf walked to the opposite side of Karan and looked at him calmly, as if expecting Karan to perform miraculous magic again.

Kalan's eyes were just motionless, as if he had fainted with his eyes open, but there were more and more bloodshot eyes in his eyes, and his fingers moved slightly, but no one noticed this scene——

Wolf suddenly turned his head and looked at the lid of the suitcase. It roared twice quickly, attracting everyone's attention.

"What's wrong?" Regulus asked hurriedly.

Steve had just talked about Gaspard's weird roommate, and he immediately stopped talking and listened carefully.

"It looks like outside-"

Before Steve could finish his words, the suitcase was suddenly opened from the outside - William who suddenly appeared glanced at several people, and Regulus stared at him blankly.

"You little devils who don't know how to live or die."

William's attitude was still bad. He walked down the stairs into the suitcase. Steve noticed through William's moving body that they seemed to be moving.

"That's Lessa - that's the horned water snake you've seen. It's taking us away from this damn forbidden forest and the waves."

William stood in the center of several people. He gave a brief explanation, and then swept his eyes over them one by one.When passing by Karan who was unable to move, William asked in disgust: "What's wrong with him?"

"Uh...he is -" Steve, who came back to his senses, hurriedly explained Karan's situation.

William frowned tightly: "As expected, British wizards are all the same. Without the help of us Pukeqi, they can't even take good care of themselves."

"That's not because of you..." Steve complained in a low voice, and also told the story of how several people fell into this situation in order to find William.

William was stunned for a moment, and the expression on his face softened a lot, but he still said in a competitive manner: "I didn't ask you to do this...Forget it, we can talk about other things after we leave here smoothly, look. Let’s see if we can find some healing herbs for this brat.”

Although the experience of finding William was different from what he imagined, Steve was still relieved that he was out of danger. He collapsed on Wolf's soft hair. At this time, he didn't want to say a word.

Regulus asked cautiously: "But James and Sirius, they-"

"Don't worry." William waved his hand impatiently: "A guy who is more enthusiastic than me has gone to find them. We only knew that there were other people in the Forbidden Forest because of the loud noise just now - this By that time, I guess that guy has successfully found them."

"and......"

William suddenly asked several people: "Did you just successfully cast a spell?"

Steve turned his head and glanced at Karan, and he finally chose to answer truthfully: "Yes, Karan just cast an amazingly powerful explosion spell to help us get rid of those weird branches."

"I knew it." William curled his lips and shook his head: "I shouldn't let a talented wizard like you come in, and the troubles caused will be more difficult to deal with than others."

"What does it mean?"

Steve asked quickly. He had countless doubts in his heart, each of which was related to this inexplicable forbidden forest.

"Have you not seen it yet?"

William shook his head again, and said in a heavy tone:

"In this lifeless world, what you cast is magic——"

"But also, it's a curse."
