34, Dark Souls

Hoffa looked up and saw a small figure stumbling and flickering in the air a few times, each flickering appearing in another place. Running around like headless flies.

It was a young dodo that did not die.

It is a creature that does not fly but teleports.

I saw the bird hiding in the bushes and shivering. Sensing Hoffa's eyes, it groaned.

Both Joey and Hoffa stood up, but it was even more frightened, and flashed several times in succession, only to crash headfirst into a tree and fall to the ground.

"There's another live one. ”

Joy wanted to catch the bird. Without thinking about it, the dodo struggled and snorted, and teleported to the tree, trembling and refusing to come down. It was terribly frightened.

Joey hurriedly said to Hofa: "You are young, it is less wary of you, help me get it down, this is the last of this group of dodos, it may be the last one on the earth, and it must not be allowed to run away." ”

The last one on earth, the pressure on Hoffa suddenly increased. He clapped his hands at the chicks in the canopy, hoping to attract them.

But the bird didn't come down, and it didn't trust Hoffa.

Hofa had an idea, and he took out from his chest the two chicken legs that had been in the Great Hall that night.

The young bird smelled the food, and its head turned slowly, it was hungry, but it was afraid of Hoffa and did not dare to come down.

Hoffa then placed the chicken leg on the ground in its tangled eyes, and he raised his hand and slowly stepped back.

It still won't come down.

Hoffa gritted his teeth, lifted his wand, and placed it on the ground. The dodo turned around and looked at Joey next to him.

Joey immediately disarmed himself.

Kiss!

The chick in the canopy disappeared, and it appeared in front of the chicken leg on the ground and gobbled it up. It should have been a long time since a big bird had fed it, and it was starving.

Hoffa waited for it to finish, then took out another one and walked over slowly. This time the dodo did not dodge and ate its food under the palm of Hoffa's hand.

Having gained the trust of the other party, Hoffa breathed a sigh of relief, and when it was finished, he quickly took the little dodo in his arms, and its body was warm and trembling, like a poor stuffed ball.

"Shhhhh ”

The fluffy little bird felt Hoffa's mental power of calming, and her mood stabilized little by little.

Hoffa discovers that the dodo has a wound in its leg, and strange blue blood is oozing from the wound.

Hoffa: "Joey, this bird is hurt. ”

"Who did this, why did you kill the dodo....... Joey muttered to himself as he took a roll of gauze from his waist and bandaged the bird's leg.

"Could it be some kind of predator?" asked Hoffa in a whisper.

"No, if it's a predator, then why kill it and not eat it? Nature rarely does anything to exterminate the race. Besides, these birds don't have much ability, but their escape ability is top-notch. Whoever can kill a dodo must have strong magical powers. ”

Hofa looked at the corpses of birds on the ground, and wondered why someone had killed them cleanly. Psychopathic or for some unknown purpose?

After bandaging the wound briefly, Joey said to Hoffa, "Let's go back and heal this bird first, we must not let it have another accident, there is still a bird and a few eggs, and there are still ....... in this group"

However, before he finished speaking, suddenly, there was a sound of breaking the air in the forest.

Sou!

A sharp arrow emerged from the darkness and shot towards Hoffa.

Hoffa felt it, but was too late to react. At the last moment, the ptarmigan nudged Hoffa with its wings, pushing him to the side of the tree trunk.

The arrow grazed Hoffa's ear and struck the Thunderbird's wings. Didn't penetrate its feathers, but made it scream in pain.

A flash of electricity flashed in the air.

This scared Hoffa out of a cold sweat.

He slumped down like lightning, drew his wand, and was ready to embark on a ghost walk.

And Joey quickly bent his bow and arrows, firmly pointing at the darkness in the woods. "Who?"

The archers appeared.

With the sound of horses' hooves, a half-human, half-horse creature slowly emerged from the darkness and appeared in the Forbidden Forest.

It was a tall centaur with a long gray beard and well-developed muscles.

Behind him, a group of centaurs slowly approached the edge of the woods. Each of them bent their bows and arrows, and their expressions were unusually vigilant.

Joey slowly lowered his bow and arrow, and pressed his hand on Hoffa's wrist to signal him to be calm.

Graybeard was slightly surprised: "It's you, Joey?"

Joey asked coldly, "Do you want to die, Nanyu, why do you want to do it to the students?"

The old horseman's gaze lingered on Hoffa for a moment.

"I recognized the wrong person. The centaur said in an ethereal voice. "It's not just you in the woods now, it's several people. They came with different missions, but for the same darkness. ”

As he spoke, the surrounding centaurs slowly lowered their bows and arrows.

Joy immediately asked, "It's not just us, you saw the intruders, who killed the dodos?" ”

"Tianmu is confused by appearances, the invisible future, countless forks, we have come to the end of our destiny. ”

The bearded centaur looked melancholy and sentimental.

Joey: "Damn, what the hell are you talking about?"

The centaur shook his head.

"Judgment Day is approaching, and I have seen the darkness of the night, and the thunder and lightning flickering in the sky. ”

Hoffa frowned, why did the centaur speak upside down, Joey asked him specific questions, but he always answered with words that were not what he asked.

Apparently Joey thought so too, he kept his face calm, took a deep breath, grabbed Hoffa's shoulder, and said angrily, "Are you okay? Okay, then let's go, I still have important things to do." ”

With that, he was leaving.

"Wait a minute. ”

Nan Yu stopped Joey.

Hoffa turned around, only to find that the centaur's gaze was firmly fixed on him.

"You have a shadow in the future, watch out for dark souls, young man. The centaur said.

Hoffa's eyes widened, but Joey was impatient.

"I wish you guys could learn to communicate with people normally. ”

With that, he pulled Hoffa and walked quickly out of the encirclement of the centaurs. Follow the way you came, all the way back.

The centaurs didn't follow, they just turned their heads and watched the two of them leave.

Walking through the Forbidden Forest, Hoffa was silent, prophesying. I actually came across the prophecy.

Prophecy is arguably Hoffa's most hated ability, and a prophet is also the most boring and troublesome profession in the world.

How many powerful and powerful heroes are inexplicably pitted on this. For example, Voldemort and Harry, for example, Heroes and Storm, for example, Zeus and Kratos.

They all listened to so-and-so's prophecy, and then made drastic moves, and finally killed themselves alive. not only pits himself, but also pits the protagonist. It only fulfilled the good name of the prophet who expects things to be like God.

He still remembers watching the World Cup in his previous life, and someone predicted in the post bar that so-and-so team would win the championship. Of course he didn't prophesy just one, he would prophesy 32. When the World Cup is over, he will open a small vest and put the old post of his prediction successful.

You see, I am God, I am the Emperor of Prophecy.

Then the people below began to worship one after another, prophesying the emperor and prophesying the emperor.

It's particularly boring.

If it was still that normal world, someone suddenly said to Hoffa. Hey, you kid has shadows around you, watch out for dark souls.

Hoffa will only slap over, dark your mother's legs, middle two is on the head, right?

But after all, this is not a normal world, the wizard's world is very treacherous, and who knows if this thing is true or not. At least the prophecy of Harry Potter has basically come true.

The centaur's words made Hoffa feel uncomfortable in his throat.

Returning to the place where he had entered the Forbidden Forest at the beginning, Hoffa couldn't help but ask Joey, "What do those centaurs mean?"

"Leave the centaurs alone, and don't take what they say," Joey said dismissively. "Those guys are a bunch of stupid people living in the future, and the most important thing to do is scare themselves. ”

Joey took the dodo in the crook of Hoffa's arm and said, "You come and help me get back later." ”

The old man's words made Hoffa feel a little more comfortable, this man was a little like Minerva McGonagall.

Joey stood by an oak tree and whistled, and then a soft ladder hung from the oak tree, and he climbed up it.

Hoffa looked up and saw a large treehouse above him. When he came, it was pitch black, and he didn't see it.

Follow Joey up to the treehouse. It was a large oak tree, with dense branches, and it was not difficult to walk, and soon Hoffa was standing on a wooden platform between the canopies. Feet on it will make a popping sound.

Hoffa admired the old man a little, building a treehouse in a place like the Forbidden Forest, and living a life of solitude. It's really a guy who can stand loneliness.

As soon as I pushed the door open, there was a creaking sound in the air, and it was full of feathers and messy threads.

A flock of chick-like creatures huddled into a corner frightened by Hoffa's arrival, with two oversized eyes, smooth, light-gray skin, elongated legs, and flat feet.

A group of tree guards looked at him curiously as they lay on their stomachs, and as he passed, the creatures thought that Hoffa had invaded his territory and began to squeak and smash small clods of dirt on his head. There's nothing Hofa can do with them, he hasn't taken a course on Fantastic Beasts yet. Luckily, Joey arrived just in time and whistled, and the tree guards fell silent.

As Joey walked into his treehouse, the chick-like creatures slipped out of the corner in a row. Very timid.

"Are you familiar with magical creatures?" asked Hoffa.

"Cooked? Of course, that's what I eat this bowl of rice. Joey said, holding his arms. "There is no animal in the world that I don't know. ”

After he finished speaking lightly, he put the young bird on the table, took some herbs and medicine bowls, and grinded them.

"Help me unbandage it, I'll give it some medicine. Joy said.

Hoffa did so, and at this moment, the young bird had calmed down, and was looking curiously at the tree guard pot above his head.

After untying the bandage, Hoffa asked again.

"Did you know that there is a kind of monkey with a silver body and big eyes? You can always tell where the enemy is. ”

"Phantom Monkey. Joey nodded, "Of course I know that a very rare and unique creature has a certain ability to predict the future. Fur can also be used to make invisibility cloaks, how do you know? Have you ever seen that creature?"

Hoffa hurriedly shook his head: "No, I've just seen it in a book, and I'm a little curious." ”

He didn't want anyone else to know about his fight with the Dark Wizard.

Old Joey did not doubt him, and he handed the ground medicine to Hoffa.

"Wash the wound and apply it evenly. ”

Hofa did as he was told, and he took a little water and washed the wound on the dodo's leg.

I washed out the blue color of my hands.

Joey handed Hoffa a towel and sighed, "The blood of the dodos is blue, and they have a certain spatial magic ability that allows them to move by flickering. It's useful for schools to keep them here. Now that something has happened to them, I'm afraid I'm going to take on the responsibility. ”

"What?" Hoffa didn't expect. "They're school-raised?"

"That's right. ”

"What are you keeping them for?"

"Take their blood at regular intervals. Joey said sullenly.

"Why do you want to take blood?"

"The blood of the dodo is an important ingredient in a lot of teleportation magic, even Floo powder. Without it, many teleportation spells would not work. ”

Hoffa turned his head a little mechanically, "What did you say? What can this bird's blood do?"

"The raw material of the teleportation array, the dodo is a magical creature that can transform at will, which many wizards can't do, and their blood contains magical space magic. ”

"That's why these birds are being hunted in captivity, and there aren't many of them anymore," Joy said. ”

Hofa's expression was a little dull, he immediately thought of the destruction of the school's teleportation array, there was no doubt that the murderer who killed the dodo and the person who destroyed the school's teleportation array was definitely the same person.

The teleportation array is destroyed, causing Indor to come to the school to find him. Now that Indor has just arrived, the saboteurs have directly cut off the source, which is really decisive.
