Chapter 244: Dark Confusion
In the deep and bleak night sky, dense clouds gradually obscured the blood-colored moonlight, and above the sky, there was a dull roar from time to time, and the lightning flashed, and a brilliant lightning bolt was active in the nine heavens.
"We need to speed things up," the group walked on the muddy mountain road, Harry looked up at the empty sky, "just looking at the accumulation of these clouds, I'm afraid in five minutes, the rainstorm will come, at our current speed, I don't know how long it will take to reach the place Saul said?" ”
Thor's dark blue pupils were filled with silvery white filaments of light, which was a characteristic of the efficient activity of the thunder elemental unit, and he raised his head slightly, looking at the current shuttling through the clouds, "It's not very far, if you don't stop on the way, you can reach your destination in three minutes." ”
After all, in such a strange place, the night is thick and there is a torrential rain, if you are lost in the open countryside without any shelter, without considering the attack of wild beasts, it is really impossible to rely on the heavy rain from the sky, and now, it is really good to have a dry and safe cave to rest from the rain.
The plasma no longer seems to be able to meet the range of activity of the sky, and the sparse and towering trees around it have become excellent conductors of lightning, and all the way forward, the surrounding trees are bombarded by thunder and lightning from time to time, and clusters of towering giant trees are destroyed in batches under the laws of natural celestial phenomena.
The rain fell, soft raindrops, seemed to be the vanguard of the coming storm, mixed with the fresh smell of a little drizzle, slowly falling from the boundless sky.
Feeling the coldness on the hair, everyone had already sensed the precursor of the rainstorm, and they all quickened their pace and hurried towards the sloping hillside path.
"Hey, look, the upper left side of the mountain path should be the cave that Saul said?" Susan Bones had a look of surprise on her face, stopped suddenly, and pointed not far away.
Everyone looked in the direction she was pointing, and vaguely, there seemed to be a dark cave entrance, surrounded by weeds.
Hermione turned to look at Thor and whispered, "Is this here?" Sol junior? ”
Thor nodded and touched his chin, "That's right, there is only this cave within a radius of ten kilometers. ”
The rain has become heavier and heavier, and the drizzle has gradually evolved into bean-sized raindrops, and everyone in the rain has no care about the wet soil, and rushes to the cave with all their might.
When the last person entered the cave, the outside had become a rainy world, even the roaring thunder, could not hide the dense rain invasion, countless huge raindrops smashed on the trees and soil, splashing a surging transparent water, the mountain woodland, as far as the eye can see, has become a stream riverbed.
"Fortunately, there is Saul, otherwise according to this rain, I am afraid that we have no way out now, and there is no way out." Zachary Smith rejoiced.
"Indeed, but this cave seems to be a little damp, so let's find out if there are any wooden tools that can start the fire," Parvati leaned against the cave wall to avoid the raindrops floating into the cave, feeling a slight chill on his skin.
"Fluorescent flicker," Ron stretched out his wand, a little blue light was lit, and through the faint light, he realized that this cave did not seem to be a simple halfway cave, extending inward, winding paths, and the dark cave did not know where it led at all.
Despite this, the outer radius of the cave is large, and there is only one road left in the depths, and the light can only shine at a distance of ten meters, so it can no longer light up the darkness in the depths.
"The outside of the cave, there are no rocks to obstruct it, it's still a little too cold, and there's no wood around to start a fire, should we follow the road and explore inside?" In short, this torrential rain will continue for a while, and if everyone waits here, I am afraid that with this environment, I am afraid that it will not be possible to rest peacefully. Fred looked into the depths of the dark cavern, and suddenly a strange thought came to him, and he said directly. Many people deliberately look into the depths of the cave, and in the deep darkness, there seems to be an inexplicable **.
George patted him on the shoulder, his eyes fell on the blood-red moonlight outside the cave, and he shook his head casually and said, "I think, let's just stay here, everyone bear with it a little, and when the rain stops tomorrow, hurry up and set off, and complete this mission of Mr. Augustus, which is the most important thing." ”
Many of the people who had their eyes fixed on the depths of the cavern shook their heads as they remembered their mission, and found a dry place to sit and rest.
An inexplicable anger suddenly rose in Fred's heart, and he broke away from George's hand on his shoulder, glared at George with a sinister look, and then found a place to sit down alone.
A flame rose out of thin air on the ground, and in the warm light of the fire, Lilian's cold face loomed, "George is right, this trip plan, the task is the first priority, everything else can be put aside, this cave has no idea where it leads, not to mention whether it will get lost, and everyone can't afford to delay it just because of the time." So, there's no need to find out. ”
Fred's vicious gaze wandered over Lillian, and then he buried his head again. The bonfire was lit, and most of the people gradually gathered around, except for Fred, who was still sitting alone, and George, feeling slightly wrong, slowly walked to his side.
"Hey, what's wrong?" George pushed his shoulder and asked directly, "I know you have always liked to explore, but this time, after all, everyone has a mission, and we can't delay everyone's trip for our interests, besides, this is not the earth, once we get lost, we don't reach the destination planned by Mr. Augustus, how can we return, so it's still safe and stable." ”
"Fuck off," Fred whispered.
"What?" George didn't seem to hear clearly, and wondered.
"I said, fuck off!" A low, resentful roar sounded in the cave, Fred raised his head, his pure black eyes were filled with hatred, because its location was so remote, George didn't notice the change in the color of his pupils at all, but was shocked by Fred's resentful tone.
Harry looked at Fred sitting in the shadows in surprise, he had never seen him so angry since he knew him, let alone angry at George, could it be because he had suppressed his anger for too long since he came here, until now it exploded?
However, he didn't know much with Fred, so some people just stood by and watched, only Angelina, Alia and a few members of the team who were also Quidditch stepped forward to persuade them.
However, after the roar, Fred didn't say a word again, and just sat in silence despite the Gryffindor crowds around him.
Loki exchanged a meaningful look with Thor, closed his eyes, and sat down on the edge of the cave wall.
