Chapter 8: Danjure Forest
The forest was darkly lit, with tall straight trees blocking most of the sunlight, and only dappled and sparse light shining through the branches and leaves of the trees. This makes the forest particularly mysterious and eerie. The forest was filled with an erratic mist, but it was surprisingly quiet, as if all living beings had never set foot here.
Fast took out the tracing stick given by the Ministry of Magic and looked around, and when the tracing stick pointed forward, it suddenly flashed red, and Fast looked at the fallen trees around him, and he could be sure that it was in this direction. The two looked at each other and walked in this direction together.
The forest was unusually quiet, with no birds chirping or any animals to be seen.
Fast didn't take a few steps before taking out his tracing stick to confirm the direction, and the tracing rod slowly flickered with a faint light.
I don't know how long I walked, but slowly the original path became narrower and narrower, and the trees next to it became thicker and more lush. As the sun shone through the foliage, Balks looked at his surroundings and said, "I could see the broken trees before, but now I can barely see them." ”
"It's true that the tracer stick can only show straight-line distances," says Fast. Take your time. Baucus complained, "If it weren't for the tall and dense trees here, I'd just fly over with a flying charm." Fast didn't look back, and said as he walked: "Well, if you encounter a cliff, of course you can fly over it directly." I don't know how long it took, but slowly it was already dark, and the forest gradually fell into darkness. The moonlight shone sparsely through the gaps in the leaves into the forest, and it looked so old and weak. With a tracer in one hand and a wand in the other, Faster used his wand to lead the way with a glowing fire. And Baucus also used the glow to lead the way behind Fast.
At this time, Fast suddenly raised his right hand to signal to stop, and said vigilantly, "Listen." ”
"Click, click, click" A rapid sound of horses' hooves came from the east.
Fast and Box decisively canceled the Glowing Guiding Charm, put away the Tracer Stick, and used the Armor Protector and the Concealment Charm to hide at the same time.
"Click, click, click" The sound of horses' hooves is getting closer and closer. And at this time, it seems to be accompanied by a strange sound "sand, sand, sand".
The two voices mingled and came closer and closer from the east.
At this moment, a group of figures suddenly appeared in the east, and it turned out to be a group of horsemen, who were wearing armor and hurriedly fled from east to west, as if something was chasing after them.
Looking at this group of centaurs, Fast was full of doubts: what happened to this group of centaurs who were bloodstained and so panicked? Where are they going?
Just as Fast wondered, the centaurs had disappeared westward into the forest. Just as Fast felt that the danger was over, Balks kept patting Fast on the back and pointing to the east. Fast gasped as he looked in the direction where the centaur had first appeared.
I saw that five centaurs were behind the group, and behind them there were more than a dozen giant spiders chasing them. Fasti had thirteen giant spiders, each of them as horses as horses. The five centaurs kept turning back and shooting arrows, trying to stop them in their tracks. At this moment, a giant spider suddenly jumped up, landed on the back of the centaur and instantly pressed the centaur to the ground, and the giant spider opened its bloody mouth and bit off the centaur's neck and feasted on it.
At this time, I saw a giant spider suddenly spew out spider silk and trip a centaur down, the spider silk tightly wrapped around the hind hooves of the centaur, the giant spider continued to withdraw the spider silk, and the centaur and the spider silk got closer and closer. The centaur kept scratching the ground, and the front hooves kept kicking, but everything seemed so weak that in an instant, four giant spiders stepped forward and dismantled it into eight pieces.
At this time, I saw three centaurs in front of me, and suddenly stopped, and at this time, two of them shouted to the other, "FUYI." (Run)" The other suddenly said in surprise: "Na, Zhuyi NIFUta." (No, I'm not going to run away.) The two centaurs shouted, "VaiTo."
g, FUta (Roll, run. The centaur turned his head and ran toward the west as if weeping.
I saw the other two centaurs take out their long swords, clench their hands tightly, and look at the approaching giant spider and suddenly shout in unison: "Tawa aleipusi, ge."
oyle deleide o

! (Protect the forest, eradicate the evil, come!) Demon!. )”
I saw the two centaurs rushing towards the giant spider as if they were dead. I saw a centaur use his long sword to cut a flying giant spider in two, but before the knife could be raised, a giant spider jumped over and threw him to the ground. It was dismantled in an instant. The other centaur plunged his long sword into the door of the giant spider, and then a giant spider pounced on him, only to see the centaur draw his long sword and slash head-on, killing one in an instant, and the other spiders saw this, and shot spider silk at the centaur in an instant, and the centaur was crushed to the ground by the cobweb, and several spiders rushed forward to bite it, and the fallen centaur looked at the west and said silently: Saksu (safe) closed his eyes permanently.
Just as the spiders were feasting, they heard a firm and powerful cry from the west: "Tawa aleipusi, ge."
oyle deleide o

! (Protect the forest, eradicate the evil, come!) Demon!. It turned out to be the centaur who had just escaped, and I saw it with a spear and rush towards the spider swarm. The spear had been broken in two, and a giant spider jumped up and pounced on him, and the centaur had no time to pull out his knife.
"A Thousand Blades Attack!" In an instant, the giant spider was split into pieces.
I saw that Fast and Balks were no longer hiding, waving their wands and joining the battle directly. The shapeshifting apparition of Baucus flashed in front of the centaurs, "Guarding them all". Baucus protected the centaurs. Seeing this, a group of giant spiders rushed towards Fast, only to see Fast waving his wand and shouting, "A hurricane is coming"! , the powerful wind instantly repelled the giant spiders that rushed up. Box quickly shook his wand and shouted, "Thunderbolt blast!" The wand shot a yellow glow and rushed towards the group of giant spiders. Just listen to "Bang! With a loud bang, the explosion instantly exploded the gathered giant spiders into pieces. Seeing this, the surviving giant spider did not dare to step forward, and turned around and fled to the east.
When the centaur saw the spider fleeing, he didn't put away the knife, but walked to his companion's corpse and knelt beside it, not knowing what he was saying, as if it was a simple ritual, only to silently take off the necklace from the corpse and put it around his neck, and then turn his head to salute us.
Fast and Bausks bowed in return.
"Thank you for your help, it's still not safe here, they could come back at any time, please come with me." Then he ran westward. Fast and Bawx looked at each other and used the Flying Charm to follow decisively.
After flying with the centaur for an hour, a plain suddenly appeared in front of me.
Fast looked around in surprise, it turned out to be a large open area surrounded by forests.
I saw a wooden fence in the middle of the land, and there were centaurs patrolling the wall.
Baucus was surprised and said to Fast: "I didn't expect it to be a fortress of the horsemen." It's a rare sight. ”
Fast didn't know what to say, just nodded. Fast was a little worried, wondering why so many centaurs had gathered, maybe it had something to do with the giant spider he was looking for.
The centaurs led Fast and Heboxy to the fortress gates. The centaur on the fortress wall poked his head out and said, "Kim bu? (Who is it?) )”
"Ку мана, Mad (It's me, Madi)" "Ew
