Chapter 144 The Beast Riot (6k)

Hagrid was running wildly in the forest. Having worked in the Forbidden Forest for so many years, he knew what the roar of such a beast meant.

"Is this a beast tide? Firenze, do you know what's going on?"

Hagrid ran wildly at a speed that surpassed that of human beings, and at the same time shouted unbelievably loudly at Firenze beside him.

Firenze's face was quite ugly: "We don't know anything!"

He took a deep breath, and then twisted his waist somewhat unnaturally, because Harry was putting his hands there now.Although he is not so repulsive to humans because he is a male centaur, but this kind of close contact is indeed the first time.

"We just saw that the beasts in the Forbidden Forest will act on a large scale today, but we didn't expect them to gather together!"

Firenze also wanted to scold her, why didn't this group of guys tell them a word, it would be a good choice for everyone to participate together!It's hard to feel left behind like this!

Harry couldn't make out what the two of them were saying now.It's fine to sit on a centaur's back, but you don't like it when they're galloping.

The centaurs have human reason, but when they run, they are not much different from those wild horses, especially Harry has never ridden a horse before.

It was so uncomfortable, Harry could feel his stomach turning upside down.

"There will be nothing wrong with Luke and the others, right!?"

Harry cried out, resisting the urge to spit it out.

And the moment he finished speaking, he suddenly felt something hit his throat.A sour feeling rippling in the throat.

"I don't know, Harry! So we're going to find out!"

Hagrid said to Harry, running wildly, the anxiety on his face was equally obvious.

He really felt that he was unlucky enough now, why did such a thing before him still fall on his head?Obviously, that kind of thing happened before, and today he obviously wanted to make Harry and Luke's supposedly heavy labor tasks easier.

After all, under his leadership, Harry's actions in the Forbidden Forest are similar to sightseeing, that is, walking can be a little tiring.

And Luke himself is very familiar with the Forbidden Forest, and he also has an affinity for magical animals, which allows him to be unimpeded in the Forbidden Forest, and he even knows some secrets of the Forbidden Forest in some ways. Not necessarily worse than yourself.

So Luke is in the Forbidden Forest, which is almost like returning home.

But the current situation is completely different.

The animal horde in the Forbidden Forest is a situation that only appears in the crisis preset.And in the school history of Hogwarts for so many years, they have never seen any beasts in the Forbidden Forest go crazy.

They are always rational, even the cruel and aggressive acromantula, after being thrown into the Forbidden Forest, gradually began to restrain themselves and only act within their own territory.

This is simply incredible.

If the Forbidden Forest is really dangerous, then Hogwarts will not really have only one gamekeeper guarding the Forbidden Forest.

In fact, in the final analysis, the Forbidden Forest is just a hunting ground attached to Hogwarts.It's just that the periphery is more suitable for a normal teacher, while the depth... may require a stronger person to come and go freely.

student?Normal students are not included in the scope of entry to the hunting grounds.Otherwise, this place would not be called the Forbidden Forest.But after all, the Forbidden Forest is not really a cruel place.Students who want to have fun can also find a safe place.

"Luke is familiar with the Forbidden Forest, he should be fine."

Hagrid ran in silence for a long time, and when Harry was about to speak again in a hurry, he spoke in an uncertain tone.

Of course he believed in Luke's ability. If Luke really wanted to run, then there should be no big problem.But he wasn't sure what Luke was thinking.If this guy suddenly wants to see what the beast tide is like, then Luke might actually go back and see.

Hagrid honestly thought he'd never met a more confident man than Luke.

Although he is more humble than anyone else on the surface, the self-confidence in his heart that is about to reach the level of conceit can still be vaguely noticed.

Harry's mouth puffed subconsciously, but he endured it.Suddenly, jolting, Harry remembered the conversation between Luke and Professor McGonagall that morning.

"Is this an arrangement of the professors? I seem to have heard Luke and Professor McGonagall mention it this morning."

Harry asked again.This question made Hagrid stunned for a moment, and he subconsciously wanted to refute, but his intuition told him that such a situation was not completely impossible.

"Is your professor so ruthless?" Firenze couldn't bear it anymore when he heard this, "In order to punish his students, you actually want to fan the beast tide?"

"No, no, no! Of course it's impossible! Dumbledore would not choose to use the beast tide!"

Hagrid finally recovered and said in denial.

Then he quickly explained to Harry: "No matter what the professor and the others want to do, it is definitely not in the plan now."

Harry nodded, then felt his stomach churning again.

"Also, Harry, right? If you really want to vomit, remember to stick your head farther away. It's dangerous now, I can't put you down, but don't spit on me either."

Firenze said quickly.

The roar in their ears was getting closer, and Hagrid and Firenze knew that they were about to face the real wildness.

……

When beasts flock together, they tend to be extremely destructive.But such destructive power is often difficult for humans to use.Because there is a natural communication barrier between humans and beasts, and also because once the beasts are stimulated, it is really difficult to control, even difficult to control themselves.

So when the herd of beasts rioted, the professors who were ambushing and preparing to do something were all surprised.They fell into worry immediately.

Because not long ago, they lost two students who suddenly started running around for inexplicable reasons.

"Those two children noticed the beast tide?"

Professor Flitwick used the search magic while sweating on his forehead, and asked Professor McGonagall very puzzled.

What else could Professor McGonagall say?She could only shake her head in a messy manner.

She is now seriously thinking about whether to discuss with Dumbledore, and not to leave matters related to Luke to herself in the future.As she gets older, she starts to lose her hair, but now, she can obviously feel that her hair loss is getting worse.

Now that the beast tide has started, they don't know how to find the students.

Although everyone didn't say anything, in fact, everyone knew in their hearts that in such a situation, if these two children really ran around without purpose, it would really cause a big problem.

Professor McGonagall's movements were obviously wide open and closed, faster and faster than before.

Obviously very anxious.

"That won't work, you go to the students, I'll go to the school to inform and find help." Professor Flitwick looked at the galloping herd, "We can't let them move forward like this."

The beasts in the dense forest seemed to be rampaging aimlessly in the forest because of the rushing torrent, and no one knew whether their next target would be Hogwarts Castle.

Although the defense force of the castle is sufficient, it is naturally very important to be able to defend against the enemy.

The safety of the castle itself is very important, because there are also students there, and not one or two, but a full seven grades.To put it more bluntly, if it is really said that someone wiped out the entire Hogwarts, then the British wizarding world may face a long period of inactivity, and this time may even be seven years.

The professors couldn't bet on this.

"Then be careful."

Professor Flitwick said something, then took out his wand and cast two acceleration spells on himself. Apparation cannot be used here, which is very inconvenient, so the professors at Hogwarts more or less Each has its own special way of moving quickly.

For example, Professor McGonagall will use Transfiguration to achieve the same effect as the ground wave surge, and he can move quickly by standing on it.

Although Professor Flitwick is petite, he has a deep obsession with the movement of his legs.

After casting the spell, he was far faster than those taller than him.

Professor Flitwick jumped from the tree, and then walked in the other direction, towards the castle.

And Professor McGonagall took a deep breath, with a helpless expression on his face.

Then she also jumped down from the tree and knocked out a wolf that was flying towards her.Then a small platform appeared under his feet, and the small platform moved in the other direction at a speed not weaker than that of a magic broom.

When the beasts behind Professor McGonagall found that they couldn't catch up with Professor McGonagall, they gradually gave up tracking.After that, he joined the beast tide again, and headed towards the end point where he didn't know.

"Is this really your design, Luke?"

As Professor McGonagall walked forward, he thought a little uncomfortable.

……

Hagrid and the others finally saw the beast tide.

Looking at the wild beast, Harry heard roars of anger and fear in his ears, and the foul stench of the beast kept turning into his nostrils, as well as the faint smell of blood.

If you look carefully on the ground, there are also faint bloodstains emerging.

"This……"

There was a look of shock and pain on Hagrid's face.Such a brutal, fearless loss of life is an equally heart-wrenching loss for The Beast.

Wolves, bears, boars...

"There are only wild beasts here, and there are no magical animals involved." The shock on Firenze's face gradually subsided. He carefully observed the beasts passing by, and said with a wrong expression, "This is not a normal wave of beasts. It's the Fantastic Beasts en masse banishing the common beasts, creating chaos, getting your attention, and then they figure they have other things to do."

"whats the matter?"

asked Hagrid, blurting out.

Firenze looked helpless: "How do I know, I've told you everything, they didn't tell us anything."

Seeing this, Hagrid and the others knew that it was impossible to ask any more questions.

"Fantastic Beasts, is there anything else to do?"

Hagrid asked himself with some confusion.

Harry frowned, and then said suddenly, "Are they going to attack the castle?"

"Of course not! We have no interest in attacking your castle, let alone take such inexplicable risks."

Firenze blurted out in denial.And Hagrid nodded.

"Although there were magical animals who entered the castle to cause damage last time, Harry, those are not creatures from the Forbidden Forest."

Hagrid explained to Harry. He knew why Harry had such an idea, because last Christmas Eve was a bit too dangerous for most of the students.

If it wasn't for Harry, and the precious defensive magic props brought out by the noble students, I'm afraid that a Voldebat would make the students go away without food.

"They are much more intelligent than the magical animals in the Forbidden Forest." Hagrid met Firenze's surprised eyes and said something that shocked him, "A troll as smart as a centaur, Harry , which is basically impossible to be a natural product."

Harry nodded, that was indeed the case. The troll they learned in the book was not the same as the troll that night, except for their similar appearance.

"In short, we are going to find each other's traces now."

"It may be related to unicorns." Firenze frowned as if suddenly remembering something, "We heard that unicorns seem to be not calm recently."

Hagrid's eyes were a little dark. Yes, after so many years, the unicorn population in the Forbidden Forest was the first unicorn that died due to alien human factors.

This is his dereliction of duty, there is no doubt about it!

"We're going to the unicorn's territory right now!"

Hagrid said seriously: "If this is the case, it is indeed possible that the unicorns asked other magical animals to help in an ambush, and then their movements were too big, which led to the beast horde!"

Having said that, he patted himself on the forehead. Such a guess really became more reasonable the more he thought about it.

Fantastic animals cannot be judged by common sense. After all, the vast majority of them have sufficient intelligence, but their thinking is sometimes inconsistent with humans, so they seem rather dull.

Having said that, Firenze raised his head to look at the starry sky, then pointed in another direction and said, "Let's go that way."

As he said that, the four hooves under him began to dance.

Harry's familiar feeling returned again.

"Have you seen the stars? Is there any danger?"

Hagrid followed Firenze, and asked.

"I've checked the direction. This is west. I remember that the unicorn's territory is to the west."

"..."

"madman!"

Voldemort pushed back a werewolf in front of him, and then looked disgusted.

The green light followed the figure of the werewolf, and the werewolf rolled over like a lazy donkey without majesty, dodging the fatal blow.And just when Voldemort was about to continue the pursuit, another werewolf came beside him.

And behind him, a werewolf also appeared at the same time.

Voldemort roared in a disgusted tone, swung his wand vigorously, and a dark green shield appeared beside him, and the two werewolves were ejected by the way.

Voldemort's eyes were full of irritation.

Beside him, there is a group of magical animals standing at this time, both high-risk and low-risk ones, and he is sure to win if each one is taken out individually.In addition to these werewolves, there are also Chimeras, venomous leopards, and even a cat leopard...

The ghost knows who brought these guys into the Forbidden Forest.This isn't some Fantastic Beast that should be in the UK.

However, given the usual operations of Magizoologists, this does not seem to be something to be confused about.There is always a reason, there is always a reason.And Magizoologists can always give you a reason that looks good on the surface, but if you think about it carefully, you will know how nonsense this reason is.

"Master, let's run away!"

Quirrell's consciousness appeared, mastered the body, and said tremblingly.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the venomous leopard rushed towards Quirrell suddenly, then opened its mouth rippling with poisonous gas, and bit towards Quirrell's neck.

"Avada Kedavra!"

Voldemort's voice sounded like madness.It was obviously too late for the poison leopard to dodge, but at this time a giant gave up the big stick in his hand, smashed it on the poison leopard, and smashed the poison leopard into the air.

At the same time that the poison leopard was thrown into the air, it also dodged the attack in front of it. This kind of force could not hurt the poison leopard. It hit the ground, hurt, and yelled at the smiling monster A sound, and then took a deep look at the Bowtruckle standing on the troll's shoulder.

The Bowtruckle stuck out his tongue at the poison leopard, and then sat down on the giant monster's shoulder with his arms crossed and his legs crossed, looking not far away.

This kind of cooperation is far from proficient, but once they have a cooperation, it will be tricky for Voldemort.

After all, as long as any one of these dangerous magical animals really hits him, then Quirrell's body will be seriously injured if he is lucky, and will die directly if he is not lucky.

The situation returned to a confrontation again. A group of magical animals looked shamelessly besieging a human wizard, but in their eyes, this was hunting.

Here is an open space, surrounded by all kinds of magical animals. Among them, a big unicorn and a small unicorn are standing in the middle. It is hard to imagine that these magical animals will stand together in such a united manner. And are dealing with the same person.

This is an incredible thing.Because even if they don't feed on each other, the relationship will definitely not be harmonious.How can you expect that the cautious, cruel and vicious cat leopard will stand with the grumpy, fierce and aggressive chimera, and they even stand together for the unicorn, which represents holiness and nobility.

This really made Quirrell feel the magic and danger of the world, and made Voldemort feel the weirdness and madness of things.

"Master! Let's run away!"

Quirrell's consciousness reappeared, and now he even brought a hint of crying.When he first entered the Forbidden Forest, he thought that this time he would be as successful as the previous few times, so he, who was full of pride and wanted revenge, finally became the familiar appearance.

Afraid, afraid, timid.

Before the next magical animal could take advantage of this opportunity to attack, Voldemort's roar sounded.

"To shut up!"

After his roar, the awe-inspiring aura even made the surrounding magical animals go silent.

How could a person known as the Dark Lord really have no momentum?

When he is really angry, even if it is just a remnant soul, he can deter others for a while.

Of course, it is impossible to deter people like Luke and Dumbledore who have no fear and know enough, but it is not a problem to deter these magical animals who do not understand his state.

Voldemort looked at these magical animals with resentful eyes, and said with a sneer: "You...you will definitely die in my hands!"

As soon as his words fell, the three werewolf brothers rushed up again, waving their paws.

"Humph--"

Voldemort snorted coldly, first he used the Iron Armor Curse again to knock the three werewolves into the air, and then shot a Killing Curse in the direction of the little unicorn.

Then, when the herd was a little flustered, he turned into black smoke again, and fled directly from the direction where there were fewer magical animals.

"I said, one day, you will die by my hands. I will make your hearts, hairs, and horns into magic wands, your skins into robes, and your bones on my display. in the hall."

"This will be your endless glory!"

The black smoke passed by suddenly, just throwing such words into the wind, and told them to listen.

Although most of the magical animals couldn't understand what this guy said, everyone could feel the arrogance and resentment in it.

That said, it's definitely not a good thing to say.

So they roared angrily, and some magical animals even wanted to chase after them, to teach that guy a lesson.

But a deep snake roar calmed them down.

"Next, someone will deal with him. If you really chase after him, it will only become nourishment for him to increase his strength."

"What nonsense are you talking about..." the poison leopard immediately retorted.

"Shut up, you! Didn't you hear what happened in the territory of the acromantula a few days ago? Or do you think you can also hunt and kill the hunting team of an entire acromantula?"

Cat Leopard complained angrily.

The poison sac of the sac leopard swelled up, as if it was angry and wanted to fight.

Maobao gave a humane sneer, then licked his paw in disdain.

The two on this side were about to fight, and the giant monster on the other side, which was more than a lap larger than the normal giant monster, squeezed the poison leopard away abruptly, and then picked up its big stick.

The poison leopard bared its teeth at the giant monster, the giant laughed honestly, and the Bowtruckle stuck out its tongue again.

The unicorn is not in the mood to care about the jokes here.It looked at the rune snake somewhat but still.

"Is there really no problem?"

Its eyes are full of worry, you know, this is related to the safety of its group.Moreover, it is not an easy task to organize such a big posture.

"He agreed, then there is no problem."

Gan Wencui did not use a tone of relief, but just stated a fact.

But at this time, on the other side, Voldemort finally landed, and Quirrell's already pale face became even paler.Unwillingness was written all over his face.

At this time, the sound of footsteps on broken branches sounded in his ears.
