Hogwarts: Harry's Path to Witches

Chapter 209 The Forbidden Forest at Night

After Harley entered the Forbidden Forest this time, she felt that it was very different from before.

When Harry first came to the Forbidden Forest, Voldemort was still parasitizing the poor Professor Quirrell and hunting unicorns in the Forbidden Forest.

His cruel actions and violent aura made those poor bugs and small animals feel the fear of impending death, and they did not dare to make a sound at all.

The time Harley tested her abilities was when she came to the Forbidden Forest during the day.

So strictly speaking, Harley only now knows what the Forbidden Forest really looks like at night——

Under the stars in the sky, the moonlight shines gently on the dark forest.

The weather is about to get colder, and ordinary insects are exuding the last glory of their lives in the forest, chirping one after another.

Not far away, with a crisp "snap" sound, a young ball escaper that was frightened by the bugs suddenly appeared not far from Harley.

But then it fell to the ground without saying a word. A larger cat raccoon appeared beside it without knowing when, biting its neck firmly.

The cat nives did not immediately enjoy his supper, but gave Harry a wary look and stepped back step by step.

When it disappeared into the forest and was out of Harry's sight, there was no movement at all in the forest.

Harley didn't save the bird, nor did she care about the cat who went back to his nest to enjoy the delicious food.

This is natural selection and no one has the right to interfere.

Harley didn't stay much outside the Forbidden Forest.

This time, her target is the depths of the Forbidden Forest.

Seeing that this place was already some distance away from Hogwarts Castle, Harry took out his broomstick from his pocket.

"Why run when you can fly?" Harley sat sideways on the broom, hummed a tune, and flew deep into the Forbidden Forest.

Soon, she arrived at her goal when she first entered the Forbidden Forest, the sky above the lake.

It was late autumn, and the cold lake water was rippled by the evening wind.

From time to time, shadows flash beneath the water, brewing an aura of mystery and danger.

Occasionally, a horse-shaped water monster that migrates from nowhere will quietly show its head and spy on the animals coming to drink water on the shore.

Various common wild animals gather around the lake, such as wolves, bears, and leopards.

However, these predators at the high level of the Muggle food chain are just the food for many magical animals here.

When the Moon-Crazy Beast Group and the Unicorn Group came to drink water, these carnivores did not dare to react at all and obediently gave up the best seats.

And when they smelled the scent of carnivorous magical creatures such as Thestrals and Hippogriffs from a distance, they were like frightened rabbits, running as far as they could.

Harley sat sideways on the broom, her long hair spread behind her back fluttering in the cold night wind.

She didn't do anything, just looked at the magical creatures below quietly.

Harry came to the Forbidden Forest this time not for specific materials, but just wanted to have a general understanding of the Forbidden Forest first.

Harley's demand for various materials will be very large in the future.

Learning alchemy with Nico requires precious materials, and practicing potions also requires a lot of materials.

Harley also needs to collect materials targeting the soul and spirit to prepare for her recovery of Sequence Four.

In addition, she is also preparing to refine some extraordinary items customized for the witch path, so she also needs to collect some highly toxic materials.

These are either expensive or inconvenient for others to know about.

The not-so-rich Harley had no choice but to explore the Forbidden Forest by herself while planning to rob a few rats in the gray area if she had the opportunity.

Harry always kept in mind the famous saying of Emperor Russell, "polishing the ax does not delay the time of chopping wood."

Make a rough map first so that you can continue to obtain materials from the Forbidden Forest in the future.

Harry patiently memorized the directions of several larger magical animal groups that appeared below when they came to drink water.

She doesn't necessarily need the materials from these magical animals, but these magical animals have their own dietary preferences.

Using this information, you can effectively determine the approximate range where many magical plants grow.

After being silent in the air for more than an hour, Harley memorized a lot of information.

During this period, the Yeqi tribe and the Unicorn tribe also noticed the powerful existence in mid-air, and were somewhat vigilant.

The Thestral that had pulled his cart twice had a brief head-to-head contact with the strongest Thestral in the tribe, and then flew up on its own initiative.

"What a good boy," Harley chuckled and took off the glove on her right hand, rubbing the Thestral's head with her white hands.

"I'm just here for a walk in the Forbidden Forest, you don't have to worry."

The Thestral licked Harley's finger, seeming to understand Harley's words.

It barked twice, then flapped its wings and flew back.

As for the unicorns, they have no contact with Harley.

The unicorns just became more vigilant when drinking water, and after drinking the water, surrounded the cubs and left the lake quickly.

"These creatures are really sensitive to danger."

Harley sighed softly, her hands instantly ignited with black flames, and then put on her gloves again.

She no longer lingered here, and flew sideways on the broom.

Harry's spirituality told him that flying in that direction would bring unexpected rewards.

Halfway through the flight, Harry thought and landed quickly.

She landed on a tall, lush tree and put the broomstick back into her pocket.

Black flames ignited out of thin air and flowed on the black hair.

"It's such a quiet forest, isn't it?"

Harley turned over and landed on the ground. Facing the darkness in front of her, her tone was soft, as if she was talking to someone.

Two streams of white liquid suddenly flew out from the shadows between several large trees, aiming at Harley's hands.

But Harley tapped the ground with her toes and instantly landed on the branch behind her.

The two white liquids did not hit the target, but hit the ground and quickly condensed into threads in the air.

"It turns out to be an Acromantula." Harley's chuckle echoed in the forest,

"I didn't expect that the Acromantula spins silk in the same way as ordinary spiders."

Several huge, pitch-black spiders covered in thick black hair crawled out from behind the tree.

Their most iconic eight black eyes are constantly moving, and their eight legs are stretched out to both sides of the body, reaching a span of fifteen feet.

These Acromantulas waved their giant claws and rushed towards Harley. Their size looks very large, but their speed is really not slow.

"It seems that we can harvest a batch of high-quality venom in advance. Thank you for your selfless dedication."

Before Harley could finish her words, her figure had disappeared into the air.
