If you see too much of the devastated scenery, you will also be numb. But no matter how accustomed you are to such a cruel scene, as a child who has grown up in this land since childhood, it will be heart-wrenching.

Looking at the buildings on both sides of the road that had been destroyed by the tide of living corpses, everyone's expressions looked very dull.

"Hermione, aren't we going to take a boat? The route to the east along the coast has been explored before, all the way to Southampton Bay. ”

Seeing that Hermione still seemed to be planning to travel by land, Harry couldn't help but ask casually.

"No," Hermione shook her head when she heard this, "I was just trying to be alone...... At most, there will only be two of you, so I'm thinking about taking the water. But if we have enough combat power, I still hope that we can take the opportunity of this journey to the east to observe more and gain some information about the distribution of living corpses. ”

As she spoke, she looked left and right, carefully watching her surroundings through the fog.

It can be found that due to the clean-up and sweeping of the Black Flame people not long ago, the number of living corpses has been greatly reduced. On the way to Weymouth, they could walk very fast without even using a broomstick, and only occasionally encountered a small remnant of living corpses wandering.

This reminded Harry of the sparsely populated feeling of desolate ruins he had when he first came to investigate.

However, the further east they went, the more they began to feel that hordes of living corpses were reclaiming the area. Just a sweeping sweep can't completely wipe out the outrageous number of ordinary living corpses...... What's more, in the fog, they are also able to recover and "reborn" in a sense.

"It's starting to get more again." Neville clenched his wand and looked ahead.

Fortunately, if they are just some ordinary living corpses that have not yet evolved, they don't have to worry too much with the strength of their group.

"Let's get on the broom!"

Hermione looked at the piles of living corpses pouring out of the alleys on the side of the street, and then asked everyone to step on their own broomsticks, kick the ground and immediately take off, rushing straight to the other side of the street.

None of them flew too high, though, for Harry knew very well that there were also a number of flying corpses in the fog-obscured sky—they were all evolved individuals, and they were definitely much more difficult to deal with than the ordinary living corpses on the ground.

I remember the last time they went to Winchester, if it wasn't for Mr. Blois's summoning of the Flaming Wyvern to attract the attention of most of the flying living corpses, then Ron would probably not be the only one injured in the end.

But it turns out that even if Hermione and the others are only limited to gathering intelligence and rushing this time, they don't have any idea of asking for trouble, but trouble will come by itself.

After more than half an hour of flying, they had left behind several large and small towns along the way. But at the same time, the density of living corpses below is obviously getting higher and higher.

Soon, the group began to have to face the first hurdle of the trip - the special individuals among the living corpses who had evolved to unleash magic.

Seeing that one or two magical beams would be thrown from below, everyone began to use their Quidditch flying skills and dodged left and right.

"Hermione, there will be more advanced living corpses with ranged attacks, and they are not limited to this talent spell. Last time, we met some guys who can project bone spurs, and it is difficult to detect them in advance under the cover of dense fog, so everyone be careful! ”

With a sword in one hand and a wand in the other, Harry was able to control the direction of the broomstick's flight with just two legs and the center of gravity of his body, accurately dodging the enchanted beams coming from below. With this hand alone, his talent in flying skills was fully revealed.

"yes, got it."

Hermione nodded, and as she spoke, she slid the broomstick to the left and right, cleverly dodging the two attacks in an "S" arc - it wasn't a waste of time for her and Luna to train at all their might.

But at this moment, Luna, who was flying not far from her, turned her head to look in a certain direction with Harry, and the two of them seemed to notice something at the same time.

"There's a guy who doesn't feel the same approaching!" Harry subconsciously reminded.

"It's a sneaky enemy!" Luna then added.

"Sneaky?"

Hermione was stunned for a moment, and the next moment she quickly pulled out a rune card while staring intently in the direction the two of them were looking.

Perhaps to avoid distraction, she simply stopped dodging the attacks that were thrown from below, and directly put an iron armor spell on herself, ready to resist those scattered attacks.

It's just that......

"It's moving," Luna said suddenly, "so fast...... Neville, be careful! ”

Before he could finish speaking, only a few, including Hermione, caught a glimpse of a gray shadow flashing through the mist, and Neville felt his heart pound in an instant. As soon as Luna reminded him, he immediately rolled over and slid off the broomstick, falling straight down.

And in the next moment, everyone only heard a soft "swish", and the broom that Neville threw down suddenly became two, and the section was terrifyingly neat.

"Divine Guard!"

Neville, who was on the move, summoned his lion Patronus in time to carry him back into the group. However, he looked at the two brooms that fell to the ground, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his back.

"Neville, you're not hurt, are you?" Hermione asked, and seeing that he seemed to be fine, she frowned and said, "Do you see clearly?" What was that attack on you just now? ”

"I don't see clearly," Neville replied, his eyes constantly glancing around, obviously a little afraid, "Hannah, go to the middle, don't go near the perimeter of the line - if that guy is attacking you, I don't have the confidence to help you stop it." ”

As soon as he finished saying this, he heard Luna remind again:

"Everybody be careful, it's still around."

With a thick fog all around them, it soon became clear to them that they couldn't spot the location of the unknown attacker with their eyes alone. In this way, Luna's reminder, which had just been confirmed once, turned into a hope for everyone to avoid in advance.

So the next moment, everyone fell silent. Only the magic attacks that come from themselves from time to time are still distracting everyone's attention.

"Shall we speed it up? Maybe you can get rid of it? Harry thought for a moment and suddenly suggested.
