Chapter 31: Quirrell

Hagrid soon hurried over, furious when he realized it was just Malfoy's prank.

"You idiot, Malfoy, we'll have to luck find the injured unicorn now." Hagrid roared and led the men to Harry.

"Looks like we're going to have to regroup." Brother Hai said angrily:

"Harry, let's team up with Malfoy so we can keep an eye on this idiot."

"Neville, Ning'an, Hermione, you and Yaya are making such a big fuss...... Hagrid said, angrily leading Harry and the others to the other side.

"I'm sorry...... I, I'm so nervous......" Neville looked at the two of them embarrassedly, he and Ning An were not familiar with each other, so he said this to Hermione.

"It's okay Neville, it's Malfoy's that guy who's so bad, we all know it." Hermione whispered comfortingly.

Neville listened to Hermione's words and looked at Ning An with some trepidation, he felt that Hermione should not speak ill of him in front of Malfoy's classmates, and in Neville's opinion, Ning An might be in the same league as Malfoy.

Ning An didn't explain anything, just re-lit his wand and followed behind Yaya, who was already walking inside.

Hermione took Neville two steps from behind and came to Ning'an's side. For some reason, she always felt an inexplicable sense of security around Ning An, as if she could be protected. At this time, he almost subconsciously got closer to Ning An.

Ning An was still holding his wand to search for the injured unicorn, and he enhanced the input of mana, which made the tip of his wand light light up rapidly, many times larger than the light just now, like a small star that had fallen into the mortal world.

"Ning An, look." Hermione suddenly pulled Laningan's arm and pointed to the ground in front of her.

Ning An looked up, only to see a silvery white light reflected on the road, no need for a magic wand to irradiate, just the moonlight was enough to make these liquids very conspicuous, there was no doubt that it was the blood of a certain unicorn that flowed all over the ground.

"Follow me." Ning An was also vigilant, he slightly weakened the light of the wand, his teeth kept sniffing something on the ground, and the three of them followed it deeper and deeper, and the more they walked, the more blood stains they found, until they reached the depths of the dense forest, where there was almost no way out, and several people found a clearing.

"Wait a minute."

Ning An whispered to stop Hermione and Neville as he looked through the dense branches of the trees and looked forward from the bushes, which were empty, and the bright moonlight gently cast on a white animal.

This is a very beautiful creature, Ning An has never seen such a moving animal, it is white, elegant, strong and slender limbs, and its body shines with a silvery white light. It was such a creature that was enough to make people emotional, and it was lying miserably on the ground at this time, its slender legs twisted unnaturally, and the silver blood was flowing all over the ground, and it was obvious that it had been dead for a long time.

"Shhhh

Hermione and Neville, who poked their heads out behind them, almost screamed, but Ning An covered their mouths in time.

Ning An could feel Neville's body begin to tremble uncontrollably, as if he was experiencing unbearable fear. Because he saw that in the clearing, there was something else besides the corpse of the unicorn!

It was a hooded and cloaked figure, but he was on all fours, crouching like a wild beast on the white body of the unicorn.

The three of them saw the monster slowly lower its hooded head, and the sound of "hehe-hiss" came

......Under the quiet night sky, this oozing sound almost made several people's cold hairs stand up.

The monster tore open the unicorn's throat and he was drinking its blood! Neville couldn't take it anymore and sat down on the ground, his legs so weak that he didn't even have the strength to escape.

And the sound of "salad salad" made by him crushing the branches obviously alarmed the monster, and he still maintained a crawling posture, slowly turning around and facing Ning An and them.

Tooth had already run for his life, and Neville sat on the ground, too frightened to move.

"Run, Ning'an - come and help me!" Hermione was still calm, she was dragging Neville with one hand and trying to help him up, and the other hand by Ning'an's arm, asking him to quickly help her pull Neville up and escape.

"I don't think it's a good idea to run away." Ning An raised his wand in his left hand, and at this time the monster also stood up, his face was covered by a hood, but judging from his figure, he was still a person.

Of course, Ning An knew that this was not a terrible monster, but Quirrell, who was possessed by Voldemort, although in some ways, it could be regarded as a monster, but it was not an unknown horror after all.

Hermione saw Ning An draw her wand, and she shouted, "Are you crazy!?" Ning'an! Do you still want to fight this monster in a duel? ”

"My wand isn't for escaping, Hermione." After Ning An finished speaking very quickly, he suddenly aimed his wand at Quirrell and shouted:

"Broken bones!"

A red light flashed, and then there was a "boom", and an explosion occurred in front of the three people, and a strong shock wave spread with smoke and dust.

Ning An took advantage of the moonlight and vaguely saw a figure in the smoke rushing towards the other side of the forest.

"Wait for me here!" After Ning An left the next sentence, he took his wand and pulled out his legs to chase after Quirrell who ran away.

"No, Ning'an! - Don't go! Hermione's screams came from behind her, but the next moment she saw Ning An plunge into the woods opposite and disappear.

"Oh my God! - Hermione rubbed her hair at a loss, "How can this be! - What should I do! She never thought that Ning An would suddenly catch up.

"Yes, the spark ,—— my spark." Hermione panicked and took her wand out of her sleeve and pointed it to the sky, and a red flame erupted, illuminating the night sky red.

At this time, Ning An was struggling to chase Quirrell's figure, there were too many branches in the dense forest, he ran very hard, his arm seemed to be scratched, and his robe was probably already in tatters, he didn't look closely, because this body was really young, and it was almost impossible to catch up with Quirrell in this wood.

Ning An had to raise his wand, although he was already out of breath, he still gasped and shouted:

"Barrier...... There are many obstacles—"

Then, it was as if there was a transparent high wall, blocking the figure in front of him, blocking his passage. And the figure finally stopped escaping, perhaps to safety, or perhaps tired of the boring chase.

He wore a hood, slowly stopped there, turned around, and faced Ning An, who was panting and standing not far from him.

"Tut-tut-t-" the shrill voice remembered, and under the silent night sky, a chill emanated

"After chasing for so long—why didn't you come to me?"

"Whew-" Ning An finally took a breath, he tidied up his tattered robe, clenched the wand in his hand, and looked at the figure standing in the darkness with vigilance, staring at him quietly.

"Poof" Ning An laughed inexplicably, only to hear him smile and say, "Go to you?" How? - Do you want to kill me? Professor Quirrell"

"Click."

Quirrell took a step back and stepped on a dead branch that had fallen to the ground, the crisp sound of breaking was particularly piercing in the silence of the deep forest.

"Shhhh

As Quirrell's angry voice rang out, as he shouted the last syllable, he jerked out his wand and shot a curse at Ning'an.

"Armor protection!" An invisible wall rose in front of Ning An, and Quirrell's curse bounced back and hit a bush behind him, which had faded and decayed at a speed visible to the naked eye, only to turn into a cloud of thick water in a matter of moments.

"I didn't expect Mr. Ning An, who never listened to my lectures, to have two hits." Quirrell laughed a little maniacally, and he pointed his wand at Ning An and said:

"So, what's next? - Arvada Suo! ”

Ning An had a bad feeling the moment Quirrell raised his wand again, he almost instinctively lowered his body and rolled to the side, almost the moment he crouched down, a green light illuminated this dense forest. At the same time, Ning An heard a "boom-crunch", and it seemed that a certain big tree behind him had been blown off.

"Killing Curse......" Ning An smiled bitterly and shook his head, he really had no way to deal with this spell, the Iron Armor Spell could not be defended, and the spell itself also had the ability to explode and penetrate, so he could almost only dodge it by his reaction, but what if it hadn't flashed? This thought frightened him into a cold sweat, and for the first time he regretted that he had caught up so recklessly.

But he didn't have that much time to think, these thoughts came to his mind for a moment, and then he forcibly suppressed them.

"Wasn't you still chasing me desperately just now!?" Quirrell's shrill cry rang out

"Don't hide now! Come out - Ning'an! I'm going to teach you how to defence against the dark arts! ”

"No need, Professor!" As soon as Ning An's voice sounded, another green light flashed, and with the sound of Quirrell's incantation, the big tree behind Ning An snapped apart.

"But I don't mind, talk to the Dark Lord behind your head!" Ning An flipped out of the jungle with a heel.

"What do you say——!" Quirrell froze suddenly, his spirit seemed to have stagnated at this moment.

"Regent!" Ning An seized the moment and rolled in front of Quirrell, suddenly meeting his eyes.

Quirrell's eyes flickered, and then, as if remembering something horrible, he covered his head and muttered in pain, "Don't—master...... Merciful master—"

"Quick Confinement"

Ning An almost immediately unleashed the second spell, only to see thick hemp ropes erupt from the tip of his wand, like a long snake, around Quirrell's body, binding him to death.

At this time, Ning An breathed a sigh of relief, his thumping heart calmed down a little, this battle was dangerous for him, he had no effective means of countering the killing curse, but fortunately, he unexpectedly distracted Quirrell's energy and defeated him.

However, at that moment, Quirrell, who was tied to the ground, let out an angry roar from his hood

"Quirrell! - You idiot"
