Chapter 44: Adventure
"Mu Yan ......"
"Mu Yan!"
As soon as he walked out of the door of the school doctor's office, Mu Yan heard someone calling him in the corner.
The voice...... Is it Harry?
He turned his head, and sure enough, he saw two little heads sneaking out of the corner, waving vigorously to him.
It was Harry and Ron.
Looking left and right, there was no one, Mu Yan walked over quickly.
"What are you two sneaking around here?"
Recently, as a result of the fourth attack, the movement of students has been greatly restricted, and some dark and infrequently used areas have been classified as off-limits, and teachers are patrolling the school at all times.
The sneaky appearance of these two people is obviously avoiding the teacher who is patrolling, and there is nothing good at first glance.
Harry and Ron glanced at each other.
"We're going to the Forbidden Forest tonight!" Harry leaned into Mu Yan's ear and whispered.
"Forbidden Forest?" Mu Yan's tone suddenly rose.
Ron, who was on the side, hurriedly gestured to him and asked him to be quiet.
Indeed, if this matter was heard by the patrolling teacher, the three of them would definitely not be able to get any good fruit to eat.
Mu Yan glared at Ron, his eyes continued to focus on Harry, until he saw that Harry was a little nervous, and then lowered his voice and said:
"Don't die, you two? Grab a handful of things in the Forbidden Forest that can kill you! β
As a half-baked hunter, he knew how dangerous the night forest could be for a few people, not to mention that it was an unknown forest full of all kinds of magical creatures.
Even Mu Yan didn't think he could survive a night in such a forest!
"Of course we know, but ...... But ...... "Harry couldn't get a complete sentence out for a long time.
"βwhat did Hagrid tell you?" Looking at Harry's expression, Mu Yan suddenly interrupted him with a frown.
After all this time, he couldn't remember some of the details of the second part, until Harry had just mentioned it, and it suddenly occurred to him that there seemed to be a trip to the Forbidden Forest in the play, which was thrilling but essential, because in this operation they got clues about the basilisk!
And what prompted the two to take the risk was Hagrid's words.
"Hagrid, he'......" Harry glanced at Ron, who shrugged at him to indicate that he couldn't help it.
"Well, the day before yesterday at noon, just after Hermione was attacked, we went to Hagrid......"
Knowing that he couldn't hide it from Mu Yan, Harry had no choice but to tell him what had happened.
It turned out that after Hermione was attacked, Harry and Ron immediately ran to Hagrid to ask about the Chamber of Secrets, although Riddle's diary had pointed out that Hagrid was the one who opened the Chamber of Secrets, but as friends, the two naturally did not believe that Hagrid would do such a thing.
When the two of them arrived, they happened to run into Hagrid being captured by the Ministry of Magic, and in their hurry, Hagrid only had time to suggest that they go to the Forbidden Forest to find Aragog, the eight-legged spider he had let go, look for clues.
So after the two discussed, there was the current scene.
Oh!
Mu Yan covered his head and groaned.
Hagrid was so relieved that the two second-year wizards would just run away into the Forbidden Forest! Isn't he afraid that the bodies of the two will be found in the stomach of his dear little darling in the future?
"So you two came to me for equipment?" Mu Yan looked at the two.
Hey, hey, hey......
Ron and Harry both laughed sheepishly.
This is not the first time, since Mu Yan gave the three people a protective magic guide last semester, Mu Yan has gradually become the logistics captain of the trio, although he rarely participates in the actions of the three, but he can always give them some equipment support, especially after Mu Yan began to learn alchemy, all kinds of strange props are endless, although the effect is not effective, but compared with their own magic, it is still much more convenient!
Looking at the smirking of the two, Mu Yan's anger didn't come to one place.
He was so dutiful to protect a few people, but a few people tried to kill them one by one!
This time he really couldn't help it, although he didn't want Harry and Ron to enter the Forbidden Forest at all, but this trip to the Forbidden Forest was a very important experience in the original plot, if he forcibly blocked or rashly told the news of the secret room monster in other ways, it was very likely to cause the plot deviation to rise.
Although it is only possible, Mu Yan can't afford to gamble anymore.
Troublesome!
Mu Yan frowned and pondered for a moment.
"So...... We'll meet at Hagrid's hut at 12 o'clock," he said in a low voice.
"Huh?" Both Harry and Ron didn't believe their ears, Mu Yan was the rhythm he wanted to participate in?
"Do you want to come with us?" Ron asked directly.
"Nonsense!" Mu Yan glanced at the two of them helplessly, with a look of hatred that could not be made of steel, "Just you two fools, can you live without me?" β
Hey, hey, hey......
The two of them scratched their heads again and giggled.
They have long been accustomed to Mu Yan's sarcasm, and they are not angry, but are excited because of Mu Yan's joining.
They knew very well how strong Mu Yan was, and none of the trio was his opponent, in every sense of the word (except for Quidditch).
With Mu Yan here, their safety factor doesn't know how many times it will be improved!
After the negotiation, Mu Yan went to the hall for dinner, while Harry and Ron returned to the Gryffindor common room to start preparing.
It was soon twelve o'clock in the evening.
The bright moon gradually disappeared into the black clouds, the starlight dimmed, and the whole land seemed to be covered with a black veil!
There was no wind in the silent night, and the faint coolness continued from the lake to the edge of the Forbidden Forest in the back mountains of Hogwarts.
Two figures suddenly appeared behind Hagrid's hut, sneakily sticking out two small heads.
"Why hasn't Mu Yan come yet?"
"It's not time yet, you be quiet, let's put away the invisibility cloak first."
An orange-yellow glow emanated from the lantern, illuminating Harry and Ron's faces.
Patrols outside the school at night were relatively weak, and most of the teachers were moved to the dormitory for protection, which is why Harry and Ron chose to act at this time.
"Shhh Harry snuck to the side of the room and unchained Hagrid's dogtooth.
Hagrid had hinted that Tooth would lead them to Aragog, and that they would just have to follow it tonight.
"Follow me."
Harry moved the rope and carefully led his teeth around the back of the room.
Two figures were patrolling the hillside, their eyes swept in this direction from time to time, but perhaps it was too dark tonight, or perhaps it was too far away from Hagrid's hut, and neither of them noticed anything unusual here.
"You're pretty fast." A faint voice came from behind Harry.
"Who!"
Harry shuddered, and the rope in his hand almost fell to the ground.
Ron was also startled by this voice, and quickly turned around, only to find that it was Mu Yan standing behind them.
"When did you come, Mu Yan?"
"It's just there." Mu Yan stretched out his head and glanced at the teeth that Harry was holding.
"This is our guide tonight?"
"Yes! Hagrid said it would take us to Aragog. Harry touched his teeth' head.
Yaya tilted his head sideways to enjoy Harry's stroke, then ran over and rubbed Mu Yan's trouser leg twice.
During this time, it had already gotten acquainted with several people.
"Heh, did he tell you who brought us out?"
"Take us out?" Harry was stunned, looking at Tooth with some uncertainty.
Hehe......
With two sneers, Mu Yan took the lead and walked towards the Forbidden Forest first, and Ron and Harry hurriedly followed.
Hagrid's hut was located on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, and it took the three of them only two or three minutes to walk to the warning sign on the perimeter.
"No entry!"
The four big characters are painted in red, and they can be seen clearly even in the dark.
Behind it, the blackened Forbidden Forest was like a black mist, and from time to time strange sounds came from it, echoing in the empty forest, like a terrible monster waking up from the shadows.
Ron swallowed, suddenly feeling a little weak in his legs.
"Why don't we go back!" He made a stupid suggestion.
"We've all made it here, Ron! We must find out the truth about the Chamber of Secrets today! Harry undid the collar of the tooth and let it find its way to itself, then walked over to Mu Yan.
"Are you saying it's going to be dangerous on our way back?" He was still thinking about Mu Yan's last words, and felt that Mu Yan seemed to know something.
"On the way back?" Mu Yan stopped, glanced at the two people who were a little nervous next to him, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a meaningful smile.
"It's not just on the way back!"
He tossed two test tubes containing the green liquid to Harry and Ron.
"Drink it, and in fifteen minutes we'll be in the Forbidden Forest!"
"What kind of reagent is this?" Harry uncorked and smelled the faint scent coming from the test tube.
"An elixir that gives your body an aura that is disgusting to beasts." Mu Yan raised his head and drank the green liquid in one gulp, burped and continued, "I made it myself, and the side effects are very small!" β
This is made by Mu Yan based on the hunter's secret medicine that he learned in the previous world.
Although he hadn't found any of the herbs he had learned about in the Shadow Forest in this world, there were quite a few herbs of similar nature.
After many attempts, he soon concocted an elixir with similar functions to the Hunter's Elixir.
It's just that because it is not the original formula, and the properties of the substitute herbs are somewhat different, the prepared medicine is less functional, but it also has an advantage, that is, it can be taken.
The potion spreads to the sweat glands throughout the body within fifteen minutes, and for the next three hours it continues to release a breath that most creatures are disgusted by.
Very useful in this forest full of magical animals.
"And side effects?" Harry and Ron had just brought the test tube to their mouths and hurriedly removed it.
They've studied Potions, too!
No matter how bad the results are, there is a high possibility that the potion developed independently will have unpredictable flaws, and they still have this kind of common sense.
Not to mention that it was developed by a second-year wizard on his own.
"Why, you don't believe me?" Mu Yan looked at the hesitant faces of the two, and a warm smile appeared on his face.
"Nope!"
"No...... Can't! β
Looking at this smile, the two of them seemed to recall some bad memories, and they shivered together, and immediately drank the potion in their hands.
