After parting with Xifa, the three of them ran towards Hogwarts Castle.
The calm before the storm makes the forest even quieter.
As she walked, Luna kept glancing around.
She always felt that someone was spying on her and her group.
However, I have been on guard for a long time.
They were not attacked at all, not even by simple obstacles.
It went surprisingly smoothly.
"Xifa is right, that man is bluffing!"
Elise's slightly excited voice could be heard clearly in the quiet woods.
"No!" Luna's voice was trembling.
"I always feel like something is following us!"
"Really?" Elise glanced around quickly.
In the limited sight distance, I naturally gained nothing.
There are only tree trunks, shrubs with only branches, and a few thick layers of fallen leaves.
Looking up at the sky, the moon and stars disappeared without knowing when.
The sky is as dark as the distance.
Elise originally thought that the darkness was just an ordinary background.
But after listening to Luna's words, I also felt that there was something hidden in the darkness.
Thinking of this, Elise shivered and her pace quickened a bit.
Ahead, Ogg is exploring the path.
Under his leadership, the two women avoided many tunnels in the woods that were temporarily covered with leaves.
I don’t know what happened to Xifa. Did he escape safely?
As she was thinking about it, Luna was a little distracted.
She didn't notice that Ogg stopped in front of her.
Luna couldn't avoid it and bumped into Ogg.
As for Ogg, his whole body was tense. When he came in front of Ogg, he could see that his pupils were shrinking in shock on his stiff and solemn face.
On one side is a delicate little witch, and on the other is an adult man who has been wandering in the forbidden forest all year round.
After being hit by Luna, Ogg's body only swayed slightly.
But Luna was caught off guard and squatted on the ground.
And Elise behind her was also nervously watching behind her.
Suddenly there was something under my feet that tripped me.
If she hadn't seen the familiar clothes, she would have screamed in fright.
The sound reached her lips and she swallowed it forcefully. Elise and Luna groaned at the same time, neither of them caring about the pain in their bodies.
They helped each other get up.
"What?" Elise's throat was hurt by the breath, and her voice was a little hoarse.
Luna shook her head slightly, she didn't know what was going on.
The two supported each other and limped to Ogg's side.
"We've been targeted, at least one poisonous leopard!"
Luna and Elise quickly looked around.
Within a few dozen steps there was no movement, and further away it was pitch black.
With Ogg's affirmative answer, they were really afraid of the dark.
At this time, the first lightning suddenly lit up.
With the help of a brief flash of light, Luna seemed to see a suspected centaur figure in the distance.
She quickly told the two of her findings.
"Let's go! Go over and have a look!"
With the help of surviving centaurs, these little things will hardly pose a threat to them.
But now, they need to cheer up and be alert to their surroundings.
Although the young Poison Leopard can't breathe and is poisonous, but when it hits it, only Ogg among the three can withstand its power.
Carefully come to the direction Luna pointed.
There is a horrifying scene in front of you.
The centaurs are standing stiffly in the open space in front of them, like sculptures.
They seemed to have been standing here for a long time, and a few leaves had covered the backs of their horses.
They all lowered their heads and drooped their arms, which were wrapped with bandages that should be used to secure hand crossbows.
But the hand crossbows were not in their hands, but fell at their feet, with only the hands exposed.
Because, the ground is a small river paved with blood of horses and humans.
Taking in the sight before their eyes, Luna and Elise almost vomited.
The two retched a few times and quickly turned their backs.
Afterwards, their gasping can be suppressed.
For fear of breaking this quiet scene, for example, if the horse man suddenly walks towards me...
The smell of blood pouring into the nostrils told me that a tragic massacre occurred here.
Ogg's face looked ugly.
Although Tiantian disagrees with the horse people, seeing them die here makes me feel sad for them.
Ogg locked his sights on Hecarim at the front.
Without all the blood in his body, his entire strong body seemed to have lost weight.
Except for a few wounds on his body, there were no fatal injuries.
Hecarim looked at the sky with blank eyes.
That direction... Ogg thought for a while, it was the direction of Hogwarts. The enemy went to Hogwarts? Or should we blame Hogwarts for not coming to help?
Unfortunately, even if he expressed his confusion, Hecarim would not explain it to him.
Behind him, Luna's voice came.
"Are they all dead?"
Luna gently licked her dry wrinkled lips with her tongue, and said in a slightly hoarse and trembling voice.
"Yes..."
Ogg felt heavy. He thought he could seek help, but instead he found the bodies of all the centaurs.
There was also at least one poisonous leopard chasing behind him, and he didn't even have time to collect their bodies.
Luna covered her mouth with her hands to prevent herself from crying, and tears flowed out unsatisfactorily.
Elise, on the other hand, was in a state of panic and began to become unstable.
Luna, whose eyes were blurred by tears, did not notice that something was wrong with Elise.
She wiped her tears with her sleeves and reached out to grab Elise's cold little hand out of habit.
Elise's consciousness also returned to normal.
She was still a little confused when she heard Ogg whisper.
"Be careful, we'll go around them."
The three of them carefully walked around, stepping on the dead branches and leaves, making no sound.
The three of them have cast silencing spells and applied scent potions, but don't question the night vision ability of magical creatures.
They are somewhere where you can't see them, silently monitoring you.
And this only allows the three of them to hear their movements better and smell different smells.
Bypassed this group of horsemen.
Luna suddenly couldn't help but look back, and at this moment, the second lightning flashed across the sky.
Under the lightning,
The crowd of horses who should have turned their backs to him suddenly faced him.
The first one to bear the brunt was the centaur Hecarim, whose seemingly intact face suddenly became tattered.
After the light of lightning disappears.
In the darkness, the eyes of all the centaurs glowed red.
"The flames are blazing!"
Luna almost collapsed and shouted.
A huge fireball emerged from the tip of her staff.
Feeling the movement of Luna casting a spell, Elise and Ogg quickly turned back.
Under the light of Luna's fire magic.
All the centaurs seemed to have creatures moving under their skin, causing uneven ridges to appear on their entire skin.
It seems that he was stimulated by the gazes of the three people, or it may be that the fire spell is about to come.
The centaur Hecarim's body exploded first, and countless red-eyed rats covered in blood burst out from his body.
As if in a chain reaction, the bodies of one centaur after another exploded.
"Run!"
Ogg realized that it no longer mattered whether he was careful or not.
That poisonous leopard that suddenly appeared might want to force them here.
And they have missed the best opportunity to eliminate these rats.
Because the three people's eyes were attracted by the crowd of horses behind them.
There is naturally a blind spot in front of you.
Wait until the three of them turn around again.
A black shadow shot out from the side and headed straight for Ogg. Ogg, who couldn't avoid it, had to stretch out his hand to block, and was bitten on his left arm by the black shadow.
It’s a wet young poisonous leopard!
Is that blood water from Ogg or from Poison Leopard?
Ogg roared in pain.
Fortunately, many years of experience have allowed him to keep calm and think.
He quickly picked up the dagger from his waist with his right hand and stabbed it hard, piercing the poisonous leopard's left eye.
Under his hands, the Poisonous Leopard struggled a few times and then became silent again.
The bite force of the young poisonous leopard is not that strong, but it is enough to expose the white bones of Ogg's left hand.
To a wizard, this is not an injury.
Unfortunately, the poisonous leopard also has deadly venom.
Ogg shook his body and fell heavily to the ground before he could say a word.
Upon seeing this, Luna used a fire spell to repel the rats behind her, let go of Elise's hand, and came to Ogg's side.
She took out the fresh food to stop Ogg's bleeding. However, Ogg's face turned black and blue, and he seemed to be about to lose his voice.
Elise has never seen such a scene alone.
The most thrilling thing I have ever experienced was the last time in Diagon Alley, when Xifa hugged herself to avoid the attack.
Originally, Luna could still feel supported by holding her.
But now, Luna let go and left him, Ogg seemed to have died in front of him, and Xifa also died alone without any news...
I... am so lonely...
During this brief absence, several rats in the rat group broke through her defenses and climbed onto her body.
Loneliness and fear finally awakened the power sealed in her body.
In Luna's horrified expression, Elise opened her mouth with a ferocious expression and let out a phoenix-like scream!
Heavy rain also poured down at this time!

I should be able to pass the review, probably... It's a little late. I'll give you 5,000 words
