Chapter 208: Jungle Ogre
"Hermione, how did you come here alone." Augustus asked, walking over to the blue light source.
Hermione raised her wand, and the light reflected Augustus's slender figure, and she breathed a sigh of relief, "It turned out to be Mr. Augustus, my parents and I came here to camp, and I was scattered when my father and I went out to look for ingredients at night, and now we can't find our way back to camp at all." ”
The corners of Augustus's mouth pulled a wry smile, "Your luck is quite good, there are poisonous insects and beasts everywhere, you are acting alone in the Phantom Forest, and you have not encountered danger, I have to say, it is a miracle." ”
Hermione's fair face flushed slightly, "I cast a phantom spell on myself, which may have some confusing effect, and some of the demonic beasts around me are almost all passing by, probably it may still have some effect." ”
"Well, the Illusion Charm is here to deal with it, and if Professor Flitwick knows the truth, he will definitely praise you again." Augustus smiled mildly.
The flush on Hermione's face deepened, she glanced at Augustus, and hesitated, "How could Mr. Augustus come here alone, is it to find some novel magical creatures, there are indeed many types of magical beasts here." ”
"Half of the guess is right, it's really here to find something, but it's just a kind of herb, and it's probably the only herb produced here in the whole of England." Augustus waved his hand casually.
"Oh, when it comes to herbs, the Phantom Forest is indeed the richest place in the entire country," Hermione nodded, "but generally the more precious herbs are surrounded by ferocious wild magical beasts, so it is also very risky to come here to collect medicines." ”
Augustus chuckled, "Nature is indeed a very magical place, often where poisonous snakes are infested, there will be an antidote, the more precious the medicinal materials, the more ferocious the surrounding monsters, in fact, this is nature's gift to the creatures." ”
The shadow of the tree of Ban Ti taunted and shrugged down, revealing a bright light, and the warm and bright light like white jade dripped on the shoulders of the young girl, forming a faint halo, Hermione looked at Augustus who spoke in a gentle tone beside her, inexplicably, there was a little snickering.
"Hey, I forgot, I still have to go to the two of them, and at this time, they must be worried to death." Hermione suddenly slapped her forehead with remorse and whispered.
Augustus groaned slightly, "In this way, I send a magic signal, if they are still in the forest, they should be able to see, we are waiting here, so that they should be able to find you soon." ”
Hermione nodded happily, "Then thank you Mr. Augustus, if they can see the signal over the forest, they will probably follow it." ”
Augustus waved his hand slightly, drew his wand, and a circle of brightly colored flames erupted, and red fireworks rose into the air, forming a dazzling circle of light, and in an instant, the entire forest was illuminated, and the dazzling light expelled the darkness around him, and the dark night was completely pierced.
Hermione was stunned and looked at the dazzling and dazzling "magic signal" that spread dozens of meters in the sky above, "Isn't it a little fuss, in this way, I am afraid that such a circle of fire can be seen within a radius of hundreds of miles." ”
Augustus coughed dryly, "The scope of the Phantom Forest is too large, it's still more obvious, it's better." ”
Hermione patted her forehead, rather speechless.
In the distance, there was a sudden sound of leaves crumbling, Hermione looked up at the source of the sound, could it be so fast, they were looking for it, or was it that in fact, the parents had been nearby, but because they were limited by the darkness before, they had not converged.
As far as the eye can see, something is approaching in the shadows.
"Is that you?" Hermione shouted into the shadows of the jungle.
Augustus looked seriously at the shadows surging behind the tall trees, which did not seem to be quite human.
Drawing his wand, a little spark flew into the air, and the scarlet flames grew in midair, and the next moment, sparks flew everywhere. A long serpent of flame evolved into the air, and where the huge fiery serpent passed, countless tall trees broke one after another, and the fiery red light opened the shadows.
A group of blue fat men of all heights stood behind the broken trees, staring at them blankly, each holding a thick cylindrical stick in his hand, and his huge fangs piercing out of his mouth, and one of them, standing at the front, kept pointing at Augustus and whining.
Hermione covered her mouth and retreated to Augustus' side, shocked, "Are these ogres?" ”
"Well, it should be true, there have always been rumors that there is a camp of the ogre tribe in the Phantom Forest, this race should be very rare, after all, now humans live in cities far away from the jungle, so their main food source has almost been cut off. It is estimated that there are few places in this country where they can survive. Augustus clasped his hands together and casually measured their numbers.
There are probably nearly twenty or thirty ogres, and a few are mixed in the middle, which should be underage little ogres, in fact, looking at them individually, the ogres used to scare children in these horror stories are really a bit silly, all of them are clumsy and stupid, I am afraid that I have not seen humans for a long time, and when I saw the food that appeared, I didn't know what to do, but I just looked at Augustus and Hermione strangely, pointing and pointing one by one, and the sound of Woo Wola came out of my mouth.
"Hermione! Is that you? A middle-aged man's voice suddenly came from the left side of the ogre group.
Hermione's face turned pale in an instant, and she shouted loudly to the source, "Daddy, wait, don't come here yet." ”
It seemed to be a little late, and a couple, from the middle of the jungle, hurried in.
The blue ogre group noticed the middle-aged man and woman beside them who had not yet found them, and the ogre standing at the front pointed loudly at the two rather strong ogres and said nonsense, the two ogres nodded, screamed excitedly, picked up the big wooden stick in their hands, and walked towards Hermione's parents with their heads held high.
Hermione looked anxiously at her parents and screamed, "Watch your side, come over here!" ”
The middle-aged couple saw Hermione not far away, a smile appeared on their faces, and they were about to speed up their pace, when they suddenly heard Hermione's shout, they glanced to the right in surprise, stopped in an instant, and stood on the spot.
