Chapter 54: Shadow of the Forbidden Forest (Chong Chong Chong!!)
"Hurry up! Are you going to run out?"
In the gloomy bathroom, Arkham, who had a large iron rod in his mouth, muttered.
Hearing this, Link, who was sitting on Arkham's neck, wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued to press the saddle hard against Arkham.
There are two buckles on the side of the saddle that need to be snapped together if you want it to be securely attached to Arkham.
It would have been an easy thing to do, after all, the set was made accurately by Link based on Arkham's size data.
It's a pity that Link has forgotten that snakes like to store a lot of food in their stomachs, and Arkham has been eating a lot lately.
This makes the process of attaching Arkham to his riding equipment particularly difficult.
"Click!"
Half an hour later, a crunch sound was finally heard, and the ride was installed.
"That's it!"
Link waved his arm excitedly, he was about to collapse from this thing!
"Is it gone?
*ยดโ`)
Arkham was also quite excited, as was evident from the flicking of his little tail.
"Wait!"
Link hurriedly stopped Arkham who couldn't wait, then took out a fantasy motorcycle helmet from his pocket and buckled it on his head, only to pat Arkham on the head vigorously and signal that it could go.
Arkham got the signal and rushed into the pipe like a sharp arrow.
"Wuhu!
(#`Oโฒ)
Feeling the speed of this wind, Link couldn't help but shout.
Arkham was so fast that Link's vision was blurry.
One thing to say, this kind of adrenaline rush felt really good at the beginning, but after a long time, Link couldn't stand it.
The plumbing system of Hogwarts was so tortuous that even with the protection of the riding gear, Link could still sit comfortably on Arkham for the time being, but the continuous rapid turns and the strange smell that even the special helmet in the sewer pipe could not hide still made Link want to vomit.
Thankfully, the basilisk seemed to find racing in the pipes alone not exciting enough, so he ran out of Hogwarts after running for a while.
"Huhuhu!~"
The wind, which was countless times more violent than the inside of the pipe, slapped on Link's body, but it was still much better to breathe in the cleaner air outside and feel the much smoother riding experience.
Taking a deep breath, Link couldn't help but look up.
In his sight, a bright crescent moon was hanging high in the sky, and the surrounding wisps of light clouds and mist were like pieces of fine yarn, passing by from time to time.
And in the light of the moon, the gray castle behind them was gradually receding at a slow pace.
This scene made Link's mood feel a lot better, but when he turned his head again, his beautiful mood was gone.
Because at this very moment, Arkham was speeding away towards a large black and strange shadow.
โ...... Is that the Forbidden Forest? Wait! Arkham! Are you thinking about ......?"
Link shouted anxiously.
Breaking into the Forbidden Forest itself is nothing.
After all, as far as he knew, the plot should not have developed to the stage where Voldemort entered the Forbidden Forest to hunt unicorns, and as for the other dangers, they were all pediatrics in front of the basilisk Arkham.
It's just that...... They rushed into the Forbidden Forest at such a fast speed, did they really not hit the trees?
"Whew!"
Before Link could finish speaking, Arkham sped up and rushed into the Forbidden Forest.
It has to be said that its technology is very good, even in the wooded Forbidden Forest, it can turn nimbly, and it has not even hit a tree.
However, it is so large that it will inevitably collide with the surrounding branches, weeds and shrubs.
So, Link suffered.
As soon as he entered the Forbidden Forest, a finger-thick branch slapped him in the face, but fortunately, with the protection of his helmet, Link did not break his appearance.
But this was just the beginning, and immediately after, countless branches and shrubs attacked and killed, and Link almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.
As a last resort, Link could only cling to Arkham's body as close as he could, while frantically pulling the reins in his hand.
"Stop! Arkham! I'm dying!"
As if hearing Link's call, Arkham slowed down and finally came to a halt in an overgrown clearing.
Link struggled to untie the protective rope from his body, rolled over the snake, and sat down on the grass exhausted.
At this time, Link was in severe pain all over his body, especially in his chest, which was the masterpiece of a tree branch, and Link even wondered if his ribs were broken.
Reaching out and rubbing it tentatively, Link breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that his chest was not significantly collapsed, and then complained:
"Arkham! You're so fast! I almost got knocked to death!"
Normally, Arkham would have taken Link's complaint as a compliment, and then proudly said that he could have gone faster.
But this time, Arkham didn't speak.
This surprised Link, and he forced his head up, only to see Arkham looking motionlessly in one direction, and the pair of golden eyes had already condensed into a slit!
Seeing this, Link also became vigilant, and he slowly looked in the direction that Arkham was looking.
The trees in the Forbidden Forest are very dense, which makes it dark inside, although the moonlight is very bright outside.
In the midst of this darkness, Link noticed a dark shadow struggling to advance through the waist-high grass.
Link instinctively held his breath.
It's winter, and even a mischievous figure like the Weasley brothers wouldn't be diving into the Forbidden Forest at this time.
The only person who could be here was Hagrid, the Hogwarts hunting groundsman.
It's just that Hagrid is a giant man who is more than three meters tall, and the black shadow in front of him is very normal.
So who would he be?
Link's heartbeat began to quicken, and he already had some vague speculation in his mind, but he didn't want to admit it yet.
At this moment, the pitch-black voice suddenly fell into the grass as if it had tripped over something.
"Huh!"
A slightly dull exclamation came from the shadow, but then, the shadow remembered a different voice:
"You're such an incompetent piece of shit!"
The tone of the voice was very strange, it sounded hoarse and rough like sandpaper rubbing against stones, but if you listened closely, you could feel a disgusting and slippery feeling of being swam over your face by a poisonous snake!
This made Link's scalp almost explode.
Because although he hasn't really met yet, he is extremely sure at this moment!
The dark shadow that appeared in front of him at this moment was Voldemort!
