Jon walked first, then Daphne, and they walked down a winding path in the cavern, wand in hand.

The Patronus led the way at the front of the crowd, followed by Astoria and Harry.

As he walked, Jon used his wand to mark the surrounding stone walls, so that even if he got lost, he could follow the path he had come from.

As he continued to walk forward, the sound of water flowing in front of him became more and more distinct. This is at least good news, the presence of water means that the cave is not completely closed, and there is a high probability that the exit will be found.

Soon, they were able to find the location of the current...... Just after passing through a narrow channel, a stream can be seen flowing down the jutting rock formation, and the water is filled with limestone sediment that has coalesced over the years to form a waterfall-like shape. At the bottom of the water, you can also see some snowflake-shaped delicate stones.

Jon stopped, at least to wash his face and stay awake here.

The water in the cave is cold and clean, so you can drink it directly.

After marking the spring, they followed the patronus and began to move on.

After a few minutes, they entered a spacious grotto, surrounded by oddly shaped pillars made of large stalactites and stalagmites.

In addition, some human leg-like stalactites hang down from the top of the grotto, which is a little creepy to see.

Astoria couldn't help but take a few more steps towards Jon's side, only to accidentally step on the moss, slip underfoot, and let out a slight scream.

Because she suddenly saw that there were swarms of bats gathered on the grotto, almost a thousand.

The wand's glow shone upwards, and thousands of bats flew down, screaming and lunging at Jon and Daphne's wands.

"Ahh

The screams of the two girls seemed to attract more and more bats, and they swarmed.

Jon gruffly grabbed Daphne's hand and snatched her wand...... He was worried that this silly girl would reflexively use some spell (such as a crushing spell or something) under the fear of bats, and if it caused the cave to collapse, the four of them would have to explain it here.

At the same time, in the face of those menacing bats, the three people next to him had already subconsciously squatted down and covered their heads with their hands-

"Incendio!"

Jon raised his elderberry wand and chanted calmly.

In the dark cavern, a scorching flame suddenly appeared around the four wizards - it first formed a bright, golden-red ring of fire, which surrounded the rock wall, and several of the nearest bats quickly burned after being contaminated with the ring of fire, and only the smell of burnt protein was in the air.

The firelight, which seemed to beat in Jon Hart's eyes. He held his wand high like a torch, and one flame after another burst out of the end of his wand, and together with the bright ring of fire, finally formed several large, warm flaming shackles.

Flaming shackles raged through the caverns, and the bats began to flee frantically, dizzily trying to escape the terrible magic that surrounded them......

After only a minute, the cave was calm again...... The bats on the roof of the grotto were either charred or driven out of the cave.

Jon breathed a sigh of relief, leaning against the stone wall and gasping slightly, using the Elder Wand to use such magic would be quite a drain on him.

"Whether it's beasts or magical beasts, most of them have a fear of fire engraved in their genes. He whispered a few words of explanation to a few of his companions, and returned Daphne's wand to herself.

Daphne just took her wand back with a blank face, and didn't ask why.

"It's okay. Jon bowed his head and helped Astoria to her feet, "Let's move on." ”

After the bat accident, the four of them began to follow the Patronus, but there were fewer words between them......

There was silence all around, so quiet that even their wheezing could be heard.

It was as if in this silent cave, there was a cold clutches that were seizing their souls.

......

They slipped into a long corridor again, and the formation changed back to a line.

In the midst of this terrible cave, they had almost been delayed for more than two hours.

In the beginning, when they came across the entrance to the cave, there would be people sticking their heads in to take a look, but later, everyone followed the patronus and walked mechanically.

The two girls, Astoria and Daphne, were clearly tired, perhaps they had never experienced this kind of "trip" before, and they had not walked so much in one go.

Just as Jon was about to offer a break, he suddenly saw a small spot of light in the distance.

"Hold on a little longer. Jon said quickly, because he thought that the point of light in the distance looked like daylight.

At Jon's urging, the group hurriedly groped in the direction of the small dot of light......

As Jon had imagined, there was indeed a cave entrance...... A small hole that barely fits one person in and out.

He had a small hole in his head and shoulders, and the dawn sun was beginning to appear at the end of the distant earth, and the fresh air was refreshing, and a wide river rolled in front of them.

"It's finally out!" Jon gave his Patronus a thumbs up, then dismissed the summoning to it.

If it weren't for the patron saint to lead the way, it would have been almost impossible to get out of this cave with extremely complex terrain in such a short time.

Across the river, there is a sparse grove.

"Let's apparition to the other side of the river!" Jon shouted, "Harry, you follow me, and Astoria, you follow your sister." ”

The range of disillusionment magic is limited, and generally only apparitions can be seen to the naked eye, as well as to places that are familiar to your memory.

Previously, in the cave, on the one hand, there was no knowledge of the surrounding location information, and on the other hand, the naked eye could only see the dark stone walls...... In this case, the illusion is of little use, but now, when the exit to the cave is found, things are a little different.

With two white flashes, when the four apparitions moved to the other side of the river—

"What are we going to do now, Jon?" Harry lay on what looked like a pile of leaves, and he took a few breaths of air to try to calm his mind.
