Chapter Seventy-Five: The Forbidden Forest at Night

After Harley entered the Forbidden Forest this time, she felt that this place was very different from before.

When Harley first came to the Forbidden Forest, Voldemort was still parasitic on poor Professor Quirrell, hunting unicorns in the Forbidden Forest.

His brutal actions and tyrannical aura made the poor bugs and critters feel the fear of impending death, and they did not dare to make a sound.

And the time Harley tested her abilities was in the Forbidden Forest during the day.

So strictly speaking, Harley didn't know what the night in the Forbidden Forest really looked like until now-

Under the starry sky, the moonlight gently sprinkled in the dark forest.

The weather is about to turn cooler, and ordinary insects are all exuding the last glory of their lives in the forest, chirping one after another.

Not far away, with a crisp sound of "pop", a young ball bird frightened by the bugs suddenly appeared not far from Harley.

But then it fell to the ground without saying a word, and a large cat appeared at its side at some point, biting it on the neck.

The raccoon didn't immediately enjoy his supper, but glanced at Harley vigilantly and stepped backwards.

When it was submerged in the woods, out of Harry's line of sight, there was no movement in the woods.

Harley didn't go to save the ball bird, nor did she care about the old one who went back to her own. Nest enjoying a meal of cats and raccoons.

This is natural selection, and no one has the right to interfere.

Harley didn't stop much on the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest.

This time, she targets the depths of the Forbidden Forest.

Seeing that it was already some distance from Hogwarts Castle, Harley pulled her broomstick out of her pocket.

"Why do you want to run if you can fly?" Harley sat on her broomstick and hummed a tune as she flew deeper into the Forbidden Forest.

Soon, she was in the sky above the lake where she had been in the Forbidden Forest for the first time.

It's late autumn, and the cold water of the lake ripples in the evening breeze.

From time to time, shadows flicker underwater, brewing an aura of mystery and danger.

Occasionally, a horse-shaped monster that migrated from nowhere quietly popped out and spied on the animals that came to the shore to drink.

The lake is home to a variety of common wild animals, such as wolves, bears, and leopards.

However, these predators at the higher levels of the Muggle food chain are only food rations for many magical animals.

When the Moon Beast Race and the Unicorn Race came to drink water, these carnivores didn't dare to react at all, and obediently gave up their best positions.

And when they smell the breath of the carnivorous magical creatures such as Thestrals and Hippogriffs from afar, they are like frightened rabbits, running as far as they can.

Harley sat on her broomstick, her long hair fluttering in the cold night wind.

She didn't move, just quietly watched the magical creatures below.

Harley didn't come to the Forbidden Forest this time for specific materials, but just to get a general understanding of the Forbidden Forest first.

Hallie's demand for various materials in the future is very large.

Learning alchemy with Nicol requires precious materials, and practicing potions requires a lot of materials.

Hallie also needs to gather soul-specific and spirit-specific materials in preparation for her recovery of Sequence 4.

In addition to this, she is also preparing to refine some extraordinary items customized for the witch path, so she will also collect some materials that contain poison.

These are either expensive or inconvenient for others to know.

Harley, who was not wealthy, had to explore the Forbidden Forest on her own, while planning a chance to loot a few gray area rats.

Hallie always remembered the famous saying of Russell the Great, "Sharpening an axe does not delay the work of chopping wood".

Make a rough map first, so that you can continue to obtain materials from the Forbidden Forest in the future.

Harley patiently remembered the directions of the larger group of magical beasts that appeared below when they came to drink the water.

She doesn't necessarily need the materials on these magical beasts, but they all have their own dietary preferences.

Using this information, it is useful to determine the approximate range of growth of many magical plants.

After more than an hour of silence in the air, Harley jotted down a lot of information.

During this period, the Thestrals and Unicorns also sensed a powerful presence in mid-air and were wary.

The Thestrals, who had pulled the cart for themselves twice, flew up after a brief head touch with the strongest Thestrals in the group.

"Good boy," Harley chuckled and removed the glove from her right hand and rubbed Thestrals' head with her little white hands.

"I'm just here to walk around the Forbidden Forest, you don't have to worry."

The Thestrals licked Harley's fingers, seemingly understanding Harley's words.

It whispered twice, then flapped its wings and flew back.

As for the unicorns, they have no contact with Hallie.

The unicorns only became a little more vigilant when they drank water, and when they finished drinking, they surrounded the cubs and quickly left the lake.

"These creatures are so sensitive to danger."

Harley sighed softly, black flames instantly lit up on her hands, and she put her gloves back on.

She no longer cherished this place, and flew sideways on her broomstick.

Harley's spirituality told herself that there would be an unexpected gain in flying in that direction.

Halfway through the flight, Harley moved and quickly landed downward.

She landed on a large tree and put the broomstick back in her pocket.

A black flame ignited out of thin air, flowing through her black hair.

"It's a quiet forest, isn't it?"

Hallie rolled over and fell to the ground, facing the darkness in front of her, and her tone was light, as if she was talking to someone.

Two streaks of white liquid suddenly flew out of the shadows in the middle of several large trees, aiming at Harley's hands.

But Harry's toe tapped lightly, and in an instant it landed on a branch behind her.

The two white streams of liquid did not hit the target, but hit the ground and quickly condensed into silk threads in the air.

"It's an eight-eyed spider." Harley's chuckle echoed through the woods,

"I really didn't expect that the eight-eyed giant spider spits silk in the same way as ordinary spiders."

Several huge black spiders with thick black fur crawled out from behind the trees.

Their most iconic black eyes are constantly turning, and their eight legs stretch out to the sides of their bodies, spanning a full fifteen feet.

The eight-eyed spiders swung their giant chelicerae and rushed towards Harry. They look huge, but they're not slow.

"It seems that we can harvest a batch of high-quality venom in advance, thank you for your selfless dedication."

Before Harley could finish speaking, her figure disappeared into thin air.
