Chapter 255: The Power of the Forest
The sky was dark and cold, and wisps of cool breeze blew by, all the way along the path that had been carved out, and from time to time there were ancient trees swaying and greeting Hermione and the others, as if to see them off.
Walking out of the forest, looking at the deep blue night, at the mouth of the valley, most of the people have returned, obviously, everyone knows nothing about the situation here. At this time, they were talking to each other with great interest about what they were looking at during the day.
Seeing Hermione and the three returning, Gryffindor and other alumni gradually gathered around, curiously asking if they had gained anything. Hermione had been tight-lipped about the two of them before she came, and now in the face of everyone's questions, the three of them shirked each other, and they all talked about it left and right.
With the return of Hermione and the others, ten minutes later, Loki and his party also returned from the darkness, apparently also finding nothing.
"The whole valley is so big, there are so many of us, we have searched almost from the inside out, and we can't find it in such a large-scale carpet search, it seems that a few of them are probably not in the valley." Parvati seemed to complain, apparently it was not worth it for so many people to work so hard for a few alumni, and in her opinion, since she was not in the valley, it was better to leave early.
Malfoy said lazily and loudly, "I said a long time ago, there is no need to do this for a few wastes, these people probably don't know where to go at this time, we have been looking for them in this valley for a whole day, and if by then, we find that they have already returned to the Mage Tower after a round trip, wouldn't it be a trick for all of us." ”
Some of them were obviously moved by Malfoy's words, and they were all indignant, threatening not to worry about it, and just leave here to complete the mission. Loki seemed to be quite subtle, and his amber gaze kept looking at Hermione, apparently as if he had found something.
"There is actually some truth to what Draco said, in my opinion, everyone will rest here for the night, and set off directly tomorrow morning, and everything is focused on the task." Hermione looked around and went straight to the road.
Some people looked at Loki and Thor, in this kind of place, strength is a qiē, obviously, it is natural for the two of them to make a decision.
"We're looking so blindly, I'm afraid it's hard to find a few people, as Hermione said, finish the mission early, return to the Mage Tower, and with Mr. Augustus's methods, it will not be difficult to find these missing people." Loki said calmly, and directly made the decision.
Thor smiled lightly, waved his hand, and said, "That's it, I have no objection." ”
When they saw that they both agreed, they settled down and gathered together to discuss their tasks for tomorrow.
In the darkness of the night, a relaxed smile appeared on Fred's lips.
Loki and the others gathered in the middle and built a defensive circle, and although the valley seemed to be safe, everything was safe in such a strange place.
"Don't you need to explain the situation to the two of them first, after an hour, the Treants will destroy the illusion, if Solloki and the two are not fully prepared, so that they are attacked by the demons first, it will obviously be very disadvantageous for our situation." Harry looked at Hermione worriedly and asked in a low voice.
"Indeed, I also recommend that I explain the situation here to the two of them first, after all, they are the main combat force, and if they know in advance, it is better to make adequate defensive preparations." Ron nodded and agreed.
Hermione was silent, and after a moment, said softly, "It's not that I don't want to explain it to them, it's just that it's not clear who the demon clan's spies are lurking among us. Such a rash action is too conspicuous. ”
After a slight pause, he continued, "If the demon knows about our plan in advance, so that he learns about the situation of the Treant Clan, then these Treants will probably have to die in vain, and it will be difficult for us to escape from this realm. ”
"Also, if those miscellaneous members of the demon clan knew about this plan, prepared sacrifices in advance, and summoned some powerful combat power in the abyss, I am afraid that we would all be wiped out here." Harry agreed, with disgust in his words.
"However, do you think that the spy of the demon clan, that is, the succubus as the tree man said, is attached to whom, as the target and means of lure." Ron lowered his voice and asked Hermione lightly.
"There are not many suspects, based on the way everyone speaks and behaves in the past two days, I can infer that at least 4 people are the most suspicious." There was a hint of caution on Hermione's calm countenance. "Of course, the most suspicious people may have the least impact on us." His gaze fell in the direction of George and a man in the darkness.
"The person with the least chance will have the greatest impact on our plan this time." Sighing slightly, looking in the direction of Loki and the others, Hermione continued, "This is also what worries me the most, if this is indeed the case, I am afraid that a large part of this plan will be frustrated." ”
"In such a place, logic and reasoning are too useless, which is why I didn't go to them beforehand, because our power is so small, that we have to rely on the suspects to survive. If the suspect is confirmed, we will have no choice but to die. At this, Hermione sighed again.
"In this situation, all we can do is wait patiently and wait for the Treants to break through with their strength, of course," he sneered lightly, "and pray that the one with the greatest suspicion becomes the real target, not the one with the least chance." Finally, he stepped forward as an explainer to explain the current situation to the two main combat forces as a guarantee for the battle. These are the tasks we should do, so it seems that they are also very useful. Isn't it? Smiling softly, Hermione fell silent.
Harry squeezed his palm slightly, no matter what, what Hermione said, it was a little stimulating to his self-esteem, as a man who has repeatedly escaped from Voldemort's hands, he really doesn't want to be so humble to become a weak person who can only rely on others to protect, strength is fundamental, without strength, everything is just a mirror, and now, there is a door to the way of the strong, and the key is in his hands.
Time gradually passed, and the sky suddenly appeared with a slight ripple, Loki and Thor suddenly startled, and their eyes fell on the shady forest not far away at the same time, a huge life force of vigorous nature was gradually taking shape.
Fred stood up solemnly, a flash of shock and bewilderment flashed in his pure black pupils, and a hint of anger in his low tone, "What are these idiots doing!?" ”
A huge roar mixed with waves swept through the valley, and even the most unresponsive people noticed the anomaly, and everyone stood up in shock, and in the valley, above the sky, the sea of green filled the whole world.
