In mid-February, Scotland is no longer as cold as winter. Only the mountains in the distance still have some snow. The Forbidden Forest has become green because most of it is evergreen trees.
After docking at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, Ryan and the others changed their clothes directly using a big rock as cover. Then they raised their wands and walked into the Forbidden Forest carefully.
The moment they walked from the shallows on the lakeshore into the tree, the gold medals in their hands buzzed and vibrated at the same time. This gave Ryan the illusion that he was holding a mobile phone to answer text messages in his previous life. After lifting the gold medal,
They found that three dots were displayed on each of the two gold medals, and the scope of the competition and the location of the exit were also marked.
"In this way, let's take a comprehensive look and search for them one by one from near to far. After finding the hostages as quickly as possible, we will return to the exit. After all, we are the weakest group, so it is better to have as few conflicts with other contestants as possible.
." Ryan said directly to Harry after reading the content on the gold medal. Harry nodded after listening, because the weakest group is his hindrance, so Ryan is proposing a plan to reduce fighting with others.
He raised his hands in approval.
It took the two of them seven or eight minutes to reach the point where they couldn't see the lakeshore at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, but in fact they had only walked a few hundred meters. However, by this time, the woods were getting denser and denser, and at the same time, various kinds of things began to appear under the trees.
Various plants present a vibrant forest ecological environment.
The plants under the trees also greatly hindered Ryan and the others on their way, especially Harry's. Before Harry came to the Forbidden Forest, he always followed the path and had no experience traveling in this primitive jungle. Fortunately, as a natural magic
As a controller, Ryan was very adaptable to this environment. Under his guidance, Harry managed to keep up with him even though he was stumbling.
When the gold medal buzzer sounded again half an hour later, Ryan and Harry had already won three gold medals and were on their way to the fourth point.
"It seems that there are at most five people entering the Forbidden Forest now." Ryan glanced at the gold medal in his hand as a detector and counted the number of gold medals displayed. "It's time to hurry up. For the time being, we have one side of the field.
It’s transparent, but I don’t know how long this transparency can last. So we have to try our best to be as quick as possible to avoid head-on encounters with people from other schools.”
Fortunately, they saw a gold medal belonging to someone else just on their way to the fourth point, so they took away the gold medal belonging to another Durmstrang player, Gustav.
At the fourth point, Ryan and the others finally saw a hostage: Hermione was sitting quietly on a branch looking at the sky in boredom. After seeing Ryan and the others, she said hello to them easily: "Good morning, Ryan.
Harry, I haven't seen you for a few days, how have you been doing during this time?"
"It's not bad. We can even order what we want to eat directly. I once even ate very authentic Chinese-style cold skin and meat buns." Ryan used his gold medal to place the one under the tree with a golden light.
I clicked on the circle and the circle quickly disappeared.
Seeing the circle disappear, Hermione immediately jumped down from the branch more than four meters high. Before Harry could even utter a exclamation, Hermione had already landed gracefully.
"How cool!" Harry praised sincerely.
"Thank you." Hermione raised her eyebrows and then turned to Ryan and said: "The circle was too small and the ground was too dirty. So I simply climbed up to the tree and sat down, which not only made it cleaner but also allowed me to see better.
Farther away."
On the way to the next point, Ryan finally figured out what was going on today: Hermione and the others were called to the office early this morning by Professor Dumbledore and informed that they were hostages, and then several principals called her to the office.
He led them into the Forbidden Forest.
In the Forbidden Forest, after walking a certain distance and reaching a predetermined point, the hostages were placed one by one in circles drawn by the three principals. These circles had magical power, and Hermione tried it.
I found that I couldn't get out at all, so I could only stay inside and wait to be rescued by Ryan and the others.
Harry, who struggled to pull his feet out of a tree pit filled with fallen leaves, looked with envy at Ryan and Hermione, who were as agile as elves in the forest. After finding Hermione, the team's speed accelerated again.
Whenever he encounters a difficult place to walk, he will be directly pulled by Ryan and Hermione to walk there, saving a lot of time on detours. Especially after walking in the forest for more than half an hour, Harry's physical fitness has greatly declined.
Well, this kind of help will be of great benefit to the overall team's progress.
For wizards, magic can indeed help when they are on the road, but using those magics still requires good physical fitness or other prerequisites.
For example, without enough practice, the Lighting Curse can only make people fall over and over again, and in a messy environment like the Forbidden Forest, it is easy to keep bumping into certain obstacles. As for Apparition, the destination is unknown.
It's impossible to appear in the right place under such circumstances. Not to mention that some magic methods that temporarily enhance physical fitness are based on overdrafting the body and are only useful in the final sprint.
Harry naturally felt that he was the one holding back when the team was moving forward in the Forbidden Forest. He felt that these two friends who were just hanging out in the library every day could walk faster than himself, a professional athlete, in the Forbidden Forest.
He expressed great confusion, especially the fact that as a girl, Hermione had a better physique than him, which made him somewhat unable to accept it. However, the fact was in front of him, and in this case, his self-esteem supported him and gritted his teeth.
Keep up and avoid further humiliation.
"Wait a minute, I think we may need to fight someone else." Just after the three people climbed up a two-story stone wall, Ryan suddenly stopped everyone. On the gold medal in his hand, a
Points belonging to other people very close to their fifth point suddenly disappeared.
"You mean someone will come over and ambush us?" Harry quickly saw the reason why Ryan asked everyone to stop.
"If this person can see other people's gold medal positions, I guess he is very likely to do so." Ryan nodded. "And since we have been on the road for so long, I think other people's gold medals will also be at this time."
It can show the location of our point."
"Then what should we do?" "We should" After a little discussion, Ryan and the others changed their formation and started to walk cautiously to the next point.
At the next point, there was still a hostage. In a clearing in the forest, Ginny sat there with her legs leaning against a stone. Harry hurried over after seeing Ginny, while Hermione waited.
Beside the woods.
But Ginny's eyes widened suddenly after seeing him, and then she shouted something to Harry. Because the distance was a bit far away, Harry could only see Ginny looking excited, and then pointing to the woodland on the other side of the clearing.
"There's an ambush." Harry finally came to his senses and rolled on the ground at the speed of his running. He just happened to miss a red light coming towards him.
He raised his wand vigilantly and aimed at the place where the magic hit, but he only saw the bushes shaking slightly at that place, indicating that the attacker had probably moved to another location.
