The footsteps were soft, as if they were strolling, but their goal was clear, the group was running for the horned camels.

Even though Harry had dealt with the smell of blood, and even used the Illusion Charm to hide the carcass of the Horned Camel, it still had no effect on them.

The bony body makes every bone clearly outlined, the pitch-black epidermis is a matte black with a slightly frosted texture, and the membrane flesh wings that fit the abdomen are at least seven or eight meters wide, and the skull, which is not much different from a skull, is the shape of a keel.

Harry recognized them as soon as he saw them, one of the few gentle little pets that Hagrid kept in the Forbidden Forest that wouldn't hurt a young wizard, and they didn't have a good reputation in the wizarding world, as they were only seen by those who had seen death with their own eyes.

Thestrals, this Pegasus that seems to be associated with death is an ominous symbol, but in reality, they are a group of good friends with gentle tempers and graceful movements.

Of all the creatures with dragon blood, they are the only ones that seem powerless, and these creatures that look like skeleton horses in leather coats seem to shatter at the touch of a button, but the truth is often not superficial.

They can pull more than a dozen tons or even dozens of tons of heavy objects to fly in the sky, they are naturally suitable for flying they have the longest endurance among flying magical creatures, although the Thunderbird can soar dozens of times the terrifying speed of sound in the sky, but such supercar endurance is not very good, once there were wizards riding Thestrals around the world for a week and a half, and they did not need to rest and eat halfway They only took less than sixteen hours to complete the long-distance flight of 60,000 kilometers.

In the case of a Thunderbird, such an ultra-long-distance journey can exhaust four or five of them in one go, and Thestrals still has the strength to spare.

Stable cruising at three times the speed of sound isn't very fast, but with this super stamina, Thestrals are the perfect companion for long trips, not to mention, they also have the ability to locate 100% of the time when you tell them the location.

Thestrals had come here in search of the breath of death, and they gathered around the carcass of the horned camel, and they looked spiritually in the direction where Harry was hiding, and did not immediately shut down, but looked at it for advice.

"Eat, eat, I can't eat so much anyway, leave me a heart and a front leg, and you can eat the rest, and if you can't finish eating, you can add food to the horseman."

Harry, who jumped from the tree, walked to the Thestrals, who were playing in the woods except for showing their faces when they were trying to pull a cart for Hogwarts, and in the safe zone, there were few magical creatures that could hunt them, and if they provoked the Thestrals, they resembled the heads of the skeleton dragons and were not for decoration.

Thestrals, who had been stroked by Harry's head, rubbed lightly against Harry, their skinny bodies a little awkward, but the joy was still passed on without hindrance.

There are twenty Thestrals who have come here, but even if they are all very edible big stomachs, a meal is only thirty or fifty kilograms of food, and the three-ton horned camel beast is enough for them to eat three or five meals no matter what calamity.

Thestrals, who had a special preference for internal organs, tore open the soft belly of the horned camels, and the thick demon-resistant skin could not do anything to their razor-sharper teeth, and after eating up one side of the ribs, the Thestrals flicked their little tails at their organs, even if Harry was on them, the gentle Pegasus didn't care.

After a short while, a series of hurried horses' hooves came from afar, and the horsemen brought by Hedwig called and ran, with baskets of meat on their backs, and a team of fifteen horsemen approached briskly.

"Hey! Bain! ”

Harry saw the leading Nicomoticon Bane from afar, and sure enough, the black-haired and black-skinned guy had a black face at the moment, and although he didn't want to admit it, he didn't have any reason to quibble after seeing the carcass of the horned camel.

"See? Horned camels! I killed it alone.,It's much more powerful than the rabbit you said, isn't it?,Convincing or not?! ”

Harry had a sly smile on his face, which made Bane's face even more ugly, and he stopped two meters in front of Harry, and then said in a sullen voice, "I admit that you are a qualified hunter." ”

"But!" Bane, who took a deep breath, finally held back the thought of pouting, "Don't underestimate the Forbidden Forest because of this success, there are many dangers hidden here, even we centaurs need to be careful to face it, Hagrid's safe zone is safe for him, not friendly to a foal like you at all." ”

"Of course, I'm not stupid." Harry, who was smiling, nodded, he hadn't been carried away by a single success, "It's been so hard for me to kill a horned camel beast that can only be reduced to rations, I'm not going to swell to the point of killing myself, peace of mind, peace of mind." ”

"By the way, you don't mind if I feed Thestrals first, do you?" Harry touched Thestrals' slippery back, he really liked the spirit of Pegasus.

"Of course." Bane shrugged, the centaurs also have a good impression of Thestrals, although many wizards are superstitious that Thestrals have an affair with death and are ominous, but the centaurs don't care about this, they are all close to horse creatures, let alone a gentle carnivorous Pegasus like Thestrals.

"Tell me how you dealt with this guy." Sitting on his knees, Bane's attitude was much better than the last time, Harry proved himself in front of him, he had gained the friendship of the centaurs, and the centaurs had always been very warm to their friends, "When your owl sent the letter, I really didn't believe it was true. ”

While chatting with the horses, the well-fed Thestrals raised their heads, and their soft entrails were almost shaved clean, but they didn't touch the heart, and the lazy Thestrals didn't leave immediately, they walked to the nearby clearing and lay down lazily, their barely undulating bellies completely unrecognizable that they contained a child's amount of raw offal.

The horses pulled out their knives, they skillfully peeled the skin and bones of the huge horned camel beasts, but in ten minutes, the basket they carried on their backs was filled with heavy pieces of meat, such a little weight is nothing to them, the physical fitness of the centaurs is very good, except for those who did not take the body strengthening route of the centaur priests, every centaur is an excellent warrior, their enchanted and poisoned bows and arrows are all shots, and the power of the spear can also penetrate the rocks, and the combat effectiveness of the groups of centaurs is quite strong.

"Let's go, come back with us, the first successful hunt is worth celebrating, come and try the craft of our centaurs, and definitely not lose to the elves of your castle."

"Okay."

Although it was still early in the morning, Harry was quite happy to visit the centaur tribe, the last time he went to the centaur tribe he didn't stay long, only stopped near the door, Hagrid went to bring the centaurs their salt, sugar and other supplies, and the centaurs would exchange their own herbs and spices and various forbidden forest specialties in exchange.

Just as Harry was about to go back with the centaurs, a Thestrals, with a light stride, walked up to Harry's side, put its head on Harry's arm, and looked at Harry with a pair of dark eyes.

"What's wrong? Haven't eaten yet? ”

Harry touched Thestrals' head, but the very spiritual Pegasus shook its head slightly, and it bit the corner of Harry's robe, tugging at it slightly.

"You want me to go with you?"

Harry, who was guessing the meaning of Thestrals, was a little curious.

Thestrals, who had taken a few steps forward, turned to look at Harry, as if that was what it meant.

"Bane, Thestrals seem to have something to do with me, why don't you go back first, I'll go shopping with them, anyway, it's still early before dark, I'll look for you later, with Thestrals here, I won't get lost."

Although Bane was also a little puzzled about Thestrals' behavior, but in the end he nodded slightly, he knew the combat effectiveness of Thestrals, there were hundreds of Thestrals in the Forbidden Forest, and in the safe zone, they had almost no opponents, and the centaurs were willing to believe in Thestrals' character, they were a group of simple and cute good horses.

"If anything happens, ask your owl to send me a message, and we'll prepare a feast for you, and we'll be back before dark."

"No problem, I promised Hagrid to go back before dinner."

Waving to the centaurs, Harry rolled over and rode on Thestrals, letting the tame pegasus carry him towards the woods.
