Hogwarts Crawler

That Grindylo was just a small episode. As they walked downstream along the river, they found a lot more.

Not only ordinary animals like deer and rabbits, but even two nests of moon beasts were found. The big eyes made Adam curious about the brain structure of the moon beasts.

However, after touching the soft fur of the moon beasts twice, Adam put this question, which was a bit scary and cruel when he thought about it carefully, behind his mind.

"Why?!"

As soon as he squatted down, the moon beast turned around and ran away. Cologne couldn't help but look at Adam who was surrounded by the moon beasts and complained:

"Do I look scary?"

This was of course a joke. Everyone in the dormitory was very good-looking, but this did not prevent Cologne from feeling hurt.

"Uh, maybe Adam is more in line with the aesthetics of the moon beasts?"

Although the moon beasts would not run away directly after Uther squatted down, the moon beasts would still stay away from him after he stretched out his hand to the moon beasts and would not let him touch them.

Look at Adam, who is now surrounded by moon beasts and rubbed against him...

"Tsk--"

The slow-witted ones are still envious of Adam, while the smart Eugene has already rubbed against the moon beasts and embraced him:

"It should be safe here."

The moon beasts and the ordinary animals they met before are hard to resist against ferocious carnivores, not to mention those powerful magical animals. Since they thrive here, it means there are no predators nearby.

"Ah--"

A sudden wail broke through the night sky, and Adam and others quickly stood up and looked in the direction of the sound.

"Ahem, no... nothing..."

Bernard stood up, holding his stomach:

"Just now I was a little curious whether the pink moon beast was male or female, so I lifted its tail to take a look, and got kicked..."

Not far from Bernard, a pink-haired moon beast was jumping on the spot and shouting loudly.

Well, it should be a very dirty curse.

Adam, who was learning snake language, subconsciously memorized this passage of moon-crazy beast language.

It turns out that swear words are always learned the fastest when learning any language.

"You should be glad that it's not a hippogriff, otherwise you would have scattered now."

Cologne complained.

"No, if it was a hippogriff I wouldn't have taken a look directly..."

Bernard justified himself. Although he was curious, he was not stupid.

"We should go. We have stayed here long enough."

Eugene said.

And Bernard might not be very popular next time.

After saying goodbye to the moon-crazy beasts, Adam and his friends' luck seemed to have run out all of a sudden. They didn't encounter any animals for a long time.

"Everyone, look at this!"

Cologne reached out and pinched something on the tree trunk with his sharp eyes. He brought it to everyone's eyes. It was a few silver-white hairs:

"This is the hair of a unicorn!"

"How did you see it?"

Bernard couldn't help complaining, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart - that was a unicorn!

Although he had just received a pair of chopsticks made of unicorn horns, he had never seen a live unicorn.

"I just happened to see it because of the reflection. It seems that there are unicorns nearby, and this luster... the unicorn has not gone far."

Cologne carefully examined the unicorn hair in his hand:

"Unicorns are diurnal animals. They sleep at night. This unicorn must have sensed our movements and got up and fled, and even rubbed against the tree."

"Doesn't it mean it hasn't run far?"

Bernard was a little excited:

"We can try to chase it!"

"What's the point of catching up with the unicorn?"

Eugene patted Bernard on the shoulder:

"Unicorns only accept virgins approaching, and we are not even women."

"Then we can at least take a look from a distance... I haven't seen a live unicorn yet."

Bernard was a little unwilling to miss the unicorn.

"Then let's go and have a look. We don't intend to hurt the unicorn, we just want to take a look."

Adam was also very curious about the unicorn.

So the five of them followed the traces left by the unicorn.

"According to the traces, the unicorn is not far ahead... huh?"

Cologne suddenly frowned:

"Did you hear any sound?"

"It seems..."

"It's the sound of horse hooves."

Uther was still trying to figure it out, but Eugene had already given the answer. He frowned and said:

"Did the unicorn find its tribe?"

It's true that unicorns live in groups... But with the unicorn's personality, it would be fine if it happened to attack the wizard halfway, but wouldn't it be a bit strange for it to take the initiative to attack the enemy?

The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and the other party took the initiative to deliver it to the door, and the five peopleThey just stood there and waited, but each of them held their wands tightly and prepared for battle.

Although they looked holy and beautiful, and were vegetarians, unicorns were not weak in combat power at all, and they lived in groups. There were almost no magical animals in nature that could feed on unicorns.

However, when they really saw the approaching target, the five people were surprised and disappointed.

It was not a unicorn, but a group of centaurs, about twenty or so... horses? One? Individuals?

"The centaurs are human above the waist and horse below the waist. The color of the hair of the human part is the same as that of the horse part. They are like mermaids, with the same wisdom as humans but voluntarily belong to the beast, like to be close to nature and observe the stars."

Eugene explained to them in a low voice,

"No wonder there are so many herbivores living in this area, it is the centaurs who protect them."

"Is this the poacher you are talking about?"

The centaurs carried bows and arrows, surrounded the five people in a circle, and the leader frowned and looked at his companions beside him:

"I only saw a group of foals who had just learned to walk."

After that, the centaur stepped in front of the five people:

"Human cubs, you have crossed the line, this is our territory!"

"Your territory? If I remember correctly, the Dark Forest belongs to Hogwarts!"

Although students are not allowed to enter, just like those abandoned rooms, the Dark Forest is still the property of Hogwarts.

Uther did not give in. He looked up at the centaur who was half a body taller than him. The centaur who was walking forward had no intention of stopping and was about to step on Uther.

The hoof was already raised in the air. As long as it fell, it would kick Uther over, but Uther still did not step back.

The leading centaur narrowed his eyes and did not step down:

"This is not the place for you to come. Go back early."

The hoof brushed Uther's body and fell. The centaur led the other centaur away in a sound of horse hooves.

"Wow! Uther, you are so amazing. You didn't lose to him in momentum just now!"

Seeing the centaurs go away, Cologne breathed a sigh of relief, and then rushed to Uther and hugged his shoulders excitedly.

"I read in the book that centaurs won't attack children."

Uther smiled slightly,

"And if he had continued to move forward, I wouldn't be the one who regretted it."

Although he said that, he was still nervous, and his palms were sweaty now.

Adam nodded secretly. No matter what Uther prepared, his protective magic could protect Uther, and even if they didn't do anything, the centaur's end would not be good.

You have to know that wizards generally look down on magical animals. As long as the wizards can report the magical animals that actively attack wizards, they can basically say goodbye to this world, not to mention that Uther's father is the Minister of Magic in Egypt...
