On the mutilated corpse at the scene, Anduin saw several claw marks. A large piece of meat was bitten off on the neck and abdomen. At the same time, there were marks on the back that had been hit by the cutting curse. It seemed that he had been hit first.
He was severely damaged by the curse attack, and then was tortured to death by a werewolf.
Even he was the first to see such a cruel killing method. No wonder the wizarding world is so hostile to werewolves.
After checking the body, Anduin picked up the remains of the cargo box next to him. Most of the fragments had no residue except dirt. It seemed that Qiqi had cleaned them up very well.
However, in addition to the large remains of small shelves, there were also small drawers scattered all over the floor. After collecting these small drawers, he found that although they had been emptied, there were still some residues inside.
Anduin casually picked up some, brought it to his nose and smelled it, basically identifying the herbs inside.
"There is mugwort, which is an ingredient for making the living hell decoction, but there is no narcissus root powder that goes with it. There is also lavender, Flobber caterpillar mucus and valerian. These are the herbs used to prepare sleeping pills. It seems that Qiqi is not
You didn’t lie to me.”
He then used the trace-finding spell to investigate the scene, and it was indeed consistent with what Qiqi said. There were one human footprint and six werewolves. According to the movement of the breath, the human and five werewolves were heading towards the direction he came from.
But one of the werewolves ran in another direction, and judging from the depth of his footprints, he was running at full speed on all fours. Was he going to gather his companions, or was he assigned other tasks?
Anduin frowned and thought as he looked at the clues left at the scene.
But before he could think about it for long, he was awakened by a "bang bang" sound coming from the side.
I saw Qiqi standing next to a big tree with tears streaming down her face, banging her head on the trunk of the tree, shouting while banging her head.
"Qiqi is useless. Qiqi is a house elf without a master. Why is Qiqi so stupid and failed to protect her master? Qiqi deserves to die!"
After saying that, he actually picked up a sharp stone from the ground and pointed it at his head. After nervously hesitating for a moment, he still hit it.
Ping!
A magic spell suddenly appeared, knocking the sharp stone out of Qiqi's hand, and then she saw an angry Anduin walking towards her.
"What are you going to do? Your master is dead and you don't want to avenge him but you commit suicide. Isn't that a coward?" Anduin asked angrily.
"But Qiqi can't defeat those monsters, and Qiqi has no master anymore. Qiqi is useless. The master said that useless guys should die." Qiqi sat on the ground and cried loudly.
Listening to what you said, your master doesn't seem to be a good person. Anduin looked at the heartbroken Qiqi in front of him speechlessly.
Anduin despised those who didn't know how to improve themselves, so he couldn't understand creatures like house elves that had no self-respect at all.
While he was distracted, Qiqi stood up again and tried to harm herself again, which made Anduin get angry for no apparent reason.
Then he picked up Qiqi and stopped her behavior. However, in response to Anduin's behavior, Qiqi cowardly begged for mercy.
"Master Wizard, please let me die. Qiqi's master is gone. Without her master, Qiqi is nothing. Qiqi's beloved cargo box is gone. Please do it, Master Wizard."
Yeah, saying I won't let you die is like committing a crime.
"Stop arguing. From now on, you will follow me first. You cannot die without my permission. You will be useful later. Now, accompany me to chase those werewolves."
"What? Are you willing to let the humble Qiqi follow you, the wizard? Are you willing to take in Qiqi and be Qiqi's master?" After hearing Anduin's words, Qiqi's expression suddenly became excited, and she stared blankly.
other side.
"Whatever you think." Anduin couldn't help pouting at Qiqi's sudden change of attitude.
"Yes, Master, you ordered Master, do you want to beat Qiqi? Do you need Qiqi to find you a cane?" Qiqi looked at Anduin excitedly.
"No one wants to hit you, so hurry up and clean up. I'll bury your master first. I'll be busy later." Anduin couldn't get into the elf's brain circuit and ordered directly.
"I'm sorry, Master, it's Qiqi who is useless and failed to understand Master's thoughts." After saying that, Qiqi kicked the stone aside, causing her to jump in pain.
"Hey." Anduin sighed silently, squatted down and looked at the other person and said, "Qiqi."
"Qiqi is here, please give me your instructions, master." Qiqi bared her teeth and responded quickly.
"You will not be allowed to harm yourself in the future, do you understand?"
"I'm sorry, Master, it was Qiqi who made the mistake." Qiqi had tears in her eyes and was about to break off her fingers, but was immediately glared at by Anduin, who quickly stood there cautiously.
When Anduin saw this, he could only shake his head helplessly. He really didn't know what to do with Qiqi's situation, but if he just ignored her, she might die on the spot.
Then he had no choice but to order Qiqi to stay nearby while he quickly buried the body of the black marketeer. After all, it would not be good to leave a human corpse in the wilderness.
Then he picked up Qiqi and apparated back to the fork in the road where he had previously located.
Previously, the scene was divided into two routes. One was a gathering of lone werewolves and most werewolves, and the other was leaving alone. Anduin thought about which route he should follow to pursue.
The werewolf leaving alone was very fast and had an unknown target, while the group of werewolves went straight after the centaurs, and the werewolf wizard who was suspected to be the leader also went in this direction.
In the end, he was ready to catch up with this large group of troops to see the situation.
Judging from the information collected previously, these werewolves seemed to be aiming for unicorns when they appeared in the Forbidden Forest. At least this was the original goal of the werewolf wizard, which made him think of magical creature smugglers for the first time.
From Moody, he learned that various smuggling businesses in the British wizarding world were constantly banned, and there were simply more businesses than legitimate businesses.
The werewolf that appeared on the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest most likely came as a vanguard to conduct reconnaissance, and because it was wild and untamable, it attacked those magical biological communities. However, it is possible that it never found any trace of the unicorn, but accidentally encountered it halfway.
After discovering the centaur, he followed him and notified the werewolf wizard through a signal.
They bought sleeping pills like Living Hell Decoction, obviously hoping to catch them alive, but now they only have second-grade sleeping pills in their hands. Although the hypnotic effect is not bad, it is not suitable for magical creatures like unicorns with strong magic resistance.
It will definitely work.
Coupled with the fact that there is no trace of the unicorn, the werewolf wizard will most likely change his target and aim at the centaurs ahead.
