Chapter 251: The Tree Man's Request

It was getting late, the sun was pouring its heat down the earth, the valley was gilded with a golden glow, and Hermione stood in the shade of the trees, sketching a rough model of the painting at her feet with tree branches.

"From here, at a normal person's pace, the distance of 30 minutes of walking is about four kilometers through the buffer zone of trees. If the trees move at the same speed, the difference in speed will definitely be within half of the speed of each tree that passes through the same symbol, that is, we think that the number of ten trees is engraved in thirty minutes, but in reality, because they are also constantly moving, they will only be in five or even fewer units. So, put forward a hypothesis, with me as the origin, Ron as the axis, and Harry as the end of the line, for a nine-minute speed consideration. If the number of engravings is three, this theory is not true, and if not, it means that it is a moving forest. ”

Harry nodded, "How to do the specific steps, you can just say it." ”

Hermione had a rough plan for Harry and Ron. Then he began to carry out the practice.

According to the approximate position of the sun at this time and the tree standing on as the origin, Hermione first engraved another mark on this tree, and then, the three of them traveled at a normal rate for three minutes, Hermione stopped alone at the position occupied at this time, carved a mark on the tree next to her, and the next part of the journey, Ron and Harry continued to walk for three minutes, and Ron stopped at the side of the tree, recording the tree marks encountered on the way, and the number of marks was one. In the end, Harry walked alone for three minutes, recording zero marks along the way. Finally, Harry, Ron returned along the way. It will be recorded and summarized in one place, with Hermione.

In the end, it was concluded that within nine minutes of the trio, only one mark was on the way. In other words, to put it bluntly, the woodland here will move without a trace in a way that ordinary people cannot observe.

"In that case, what is the solution to it?" Harry set his eyes on Hermione.

"It's very simple, since the trees here can move, I'm afraid they already have the instinct to deal with danger, we just need to create a dangerous environment for them, so that they can take advantage of it and avoid harm." Hermione clasped her hands to her chest and tilted her head to look at the tree in front of her, a playful smile on her lips.

"Create a dangerous environment." Harry looked at Hermione quizzically.

"That's right," drew her wand, Hermione's bright smile with a hint of evil, "just set a fire and burn it all over here, since these trees can move, I don't believe that once the fire rises, these strange trees will not run!" ”

"Huh!" Ron asked worriedly, "If they don't run, or run slower." Wouldn't the three of us be trapped alive in the fire? ”

Hermione shrugged nonsensically, "In that case, it's just a matter of luck." ”

"Anyway, in my estimation, the probability of success of this plan is probably more than 80."

"No matter, I can't stay in this place anymore," Harry said arbitrarily, looking around, "so be it!" ”

β€œBINGO!” With a snap of her fingers, Hermione found the nearest tree, held up a bunch of leafy branches, drew her wand, and prepared to chant a spell, "Well, set fire to the forest, it's been a long time since I've done this, I remember the last time I was a child, I destroyed a forest in order to roast a dragonfly." ”

"Ahem, ahem! Wait," a low cough suddenly came, and Hermione's hand shook, nearly dropping her wand into the pile of leaves.

An old face suddenly appeared on the trunk of a tree beside Hermione, as if carving an old man's face into the wood, and the weather-beaten features of the eyebrows and eyes were imprinted into the eyes of the three of them.

"The three friends who came from afar are just a little joke, why do they need to do the evil act of burning the woodland."

"God, a talking tree?" Ron rubbed his forehead with shock in his eyes.

"Little girl, we have no ill will towards you, and we just want to give you a kind reminder by leaving you here." The tree smiled kindly, with kindness in his voice.

"Oh? Trapped us in this place to remind us? What is the reasoning of this. Hermione asked calmly.

"This side of the realm has become more and more powerful in our control, and there is still some time before nightfall, so I'm sorry I can't give you more information at this time. If you believe me, I will come out and explain to you when the sun goes down. The tree lowered his voice slightly and pleaded sincerely.

Hermione looked down in contemplation, not answering.

"Of course, if you have to get out in a hurry, I will naturally not block it too much, and I will open the passage for you to get out immediately." Seeing that the three of them didn't seem to believe in him very much, Lao Shu sighed helplessly.

"Actually, it's okay to stay here until the sun goes down." Hermione looked up, her tone unquestionable, "I'm a little interested in your so-called message. Kindness. So be it, we'll wait here until the sun disappears. ”

The tree man smiled in relief, shook the trunk, seemed to nod, and then vanished.

"Hey, Hermione, how can you agree to his request," Ron said with dissatisfaction, as if he was complaining about Hermione not asking for his opinion, "This unwarranted request, why agree to it, since it said that it could let us go out immediately, just leave, what's the use of staying here and listening to some "information". Besides, this kind of thing is probably just looking kind and kind on the surface, and this kind of monster should not come into contact with them at all. ”

"Are you done?" Hermione looked at Ron coldly, with impatience in her tone, "If you're done, you just go away, no one will stop you here." ”

"You!" Ron blushed with rage, he didn't expect Hermione to have such disrespect for him, he was just a person, why should he make a decision for him and Harry.

Turning his gaze to Harry, Ron had a gloomy face, as if he wanted Harry to speak for him.

"Forget it, I'm actually very interested in the information that this tree has to offer, and it's better to know more things in such a strange place than to know nothing and feel the darkness around. Besides, maybe it can also provide us with the whereabouts of the 5 missing people in the team, so just wait until it gets dark. Harry advised Ron to act as a mediator.

Ron snorted slightly, turned to the side, and leaned silently against the trunk of the tree.
