Joel stepped forward and patted Tom's body. He still didn't know why Tom pulled him deep into the Forbidden Forest.
Tom lowered his head and humped Joel's body hard.
It ran up the hillside with its vigorous body, ran for more than ten meters, then stopped in place, turned around, and roared twice at Joel, gesturing for him to follow.
Joel hissed lightly and looked at Tiger Tom with an expression that was hard to describe.
Did it find itself as a thug?
Joel felt bitter. According to what Hagrid said before, the creatures in the distant mountains are more ferocious and more aggressive, and the poisonous leopard is their king.
He didn't know how Tiger Tom fought with the poisonous leopard, nor how Tom escaped from the distant mountains, but he didn't want to take risks.
Tiger Tom saw Joel staying where he was and became anxious. He swooped over and started licking Joel's face with his big tongue.
"I can't, I can't..." Joel pushed the tiger's head away hard, "I can't accompany you to the distant mountains."
Tom tilted his head, not understanding what Joel was talking about.
"It's too dangerous." Joel couldn't quite understand the beast's sensitive territorial awareness. "You don't have to go, do you? You already own this territory."
Tiger Tom shook his head in disappointment, let go of Joel's body with his two claws, and jumped up the hillside again. After pausing for two seconds, seeing that Joel had no intention of following, he stepped into the fog alone.
Joel stayed where he was.
The white bandage on Tom's abdomen gradually disappeared from sight.
The full moonlight reflected on the ground through the thin dark clouds, and the howling of wolves could be heard from time to time in the dark forbidden forest, which seemed scary and strange.
Today is a full moon night, and all werewolves will fall into madness tonight. They will uncontrollably transform into werewolves, and their personalities will become bloodthirsty and violent.
There is a werewolf tribe living in the Forbidden Forest. As long as the full moon night comes, the entire Forbidden Forest will fall into a sleepless night, and all animals will be prepared to avoid being hunted by werewolves.
Joel glanced at the road back, and he found that many animals in the Forbidden Forest had begun to make uneasy commotions. A few foxes were hurriedly passing through the forest, rushing towards the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest. Their fighting power was definitely at the bottom in the Forbidden Forest.
Level, if I don’t run now, I’ll wait until later.
Joel looked back at the mist in the distant mountains, and his mind was full of memories of Tom and him getting along with him since he was a child. From the cute tiger that was tall and bent at his knees to the real beast that is more than two meters long, it has given him a lot of trouble.
Less trouble, he also saved himself from a werewolf.
Joel recalled Tiger Tom's pause before leaving, and the hidden pleading in his bright, heterochromatic eyes, and his heart was inevitably sour. He was sure that he did not want Tom to die.
Anyway, he still has the right to use Gungunir. The worst he can do is use this opportunity for Tom. He firmly believes that modern creatures cannot withstand the power of the eternal spear.
He gritted his teeth, took the wand, cast a disembodiment spell on himself, and headed towards the distant mountains.
The white mist was so thick that it completely enveloped the entrance to the distant mountains. After Joel got in, he found that he could only see one or two feet in front of him, and the rest of his field of vision was completely white.
Joel didn't dare to cast a spell to try to dispel the fog, for fear of provoking other unknown creatures, so he could only move forward slowly in the dark.
This is not an easy journey. Joel has never been here before, so he can only move forward blindly. Compared with the howling wolves below, the distant mountains are extremely silent.
Through the thick white fog, Joel could only hear a vague rustling sound, and he didn't know whether it was the wind or the movement caused by some kind of creature.
He heard the call, vague and indistinct, it seemed like a human voice calling him to follow the source of the sound.
Will there be anyone in this place?
Joel sensed something was wrong and hurriedly held his breath and concentrated, not daring to be distracted and pay attention to other things.
Tiger Tom has disappeared, but there is good news. There is only one way up here - this is what Joel discovered after searching around for a long time.
As for the possibility of running sideways, Joel had not thought about it, but Tiger Tom would not take such a risk.
In other words, if you continue walking up the hillside, you will definitely catch up with Tiger Tom.
The human-like call kept echoing in Joel's ears. Even if he tried to block his ears with a silent spell, it didn't work. The irritating call was pervasive and lingered in Joel's ears all the time.
He frowned, and his mood became more and more irritable as he walked forward. The location where the call came from seemed to be not far ahead, but no matter how far he walked, he could not get close to the source of the sound.
This made him feel even more anxious. The situation in the distant mountains was far more complex and changeable than he imagined.
"Calling for guardianship." Joel had to use the patronus spell, keeping his voice as low as possible to prevent other creatures from noticing.
The silver-white raven jumped out of the silver mist and flew around Joel.
"Go find Tom," Joel whispered. "If you see him, come back and take me there."
The raven nodded slightly and flew forward. It is a kind of spirit body, similar to the ghosts in Hogwarts, and will not be easily eliminated when encountering danger.
The raven flew away, leaving Joel alone to move forward slowly in the mist.
The call still continued to echo in his ears. Joel looked up at the sky, where there was also a white fog, and the moonlight was blocked by this fog.
There seemed to be some moisture under his feet, and Joel felt as if he had fallen into a swamp. Every time he lifted his feet, they felt wet, as if there was mud stuck to the soles of his feet.
Now the calling in his ears became clearer and clearer, and a strong desire drove him to keep moving forward.
No, Joel's vigilance suddenly increased. He used Occlumency to try to suppress his emotions and calm himself down.
But it didn't work. For the first time in his life, his limbs didn't obey the instructions of his brain and just kept walking forward, getting faster and faster.
In the end, he was almost running all the way. Joel tightened his grip on the wand in his hand, alert to all possible emergencies along the way.
But everything was silent as usual. He ran forward for a long time, but still couldn't stop. Although the call was much clearer than before, he still couldn't figure out its exact location.
"Quick...quick...come to me..."
Joel felt that he had been running for more than half an hour, but he still could not break through the heavy fog. The thick fog enveloped every inch of his body, and he felt as if his legs were filled with lead.
Although he usually exercised diligently, such a rugged mountain road and the tense atmosphere made his physical strength disappear quickly.
If this continues, he will die of exhaustion here soon.
Just when he was exhausted, he heard a tiger roar, which seemed to come from the distant horizon, like a nine-layered thunder that woke him up.
