It's almost dark.

Surrounded by the forest, the mottled sky above the dense forest showed a strange red color. A gust of wind blew by, and a few dry leaves floated in the wind. After tumbling a few times, they stuck to Hoffa's trousers.

He raised his head and turned around in the wind, only to find that there were hundreds of thorn balls hanging densely in the canopy of the tree.

Just as the two of them were shocked, a fruit slowly opened on the canopy of the tree. It spread its green wings, revealing the green and purple body hidden inside.

hiss!

It stretched out its long tongue and spat out a message to Hoffa.

Turns out that’s it!!

Hoffa immediately understood why it looked familiar to him.

The Winged Devil, Schmidt Rutloff's pet, is a dangerous creature that feeds on brain fluid. Why is this creature here?

It is here, can Schmidt be far behind?

Joey: "What's going on? Why is this 4X level dangerous creature here!"

"Remember the last attack on Hogsmeade?"

Hoffa looked pale and his voice was slightly trembling.

"Attack...what? The dark wizard carrying dangerous creatures actually hid in the Forbidden Forest? Are you sure? Who told you?"

Joey asked a lot of questions, but Hoffa didn't answer any of them... He couldn't help but back away.

Hiss!

On the tree crown, several curled-winged demons spread their wings, and pairs of green hungry eyes lit up in the darkness.

Thinking of the letter, Hoffa gritted his teeth.

Damn it, this is a trap!

A deliberate trap!

Hoffa looked at Joey, who also looked confused and horrified. He bent his bow and drew an arrow, tilted his head and said, "You take the girl first, I will take the back seat."

Hoffa did not hesitate. He rushed over and pulled Aglaia up. Aglaia was still reading next to the stone and had no idea what was there.

After being interrupted by Hoffa, she said angrily: "What are you doing? Do you know how important what I am interpreting is...?"

"Shut up! Holmes."

Hoffa interrupted her mercilessly. He dragged Aglaia towards the horses. He didn't know where Schmidt was, but he had to get out of here before the dark wizard appeared.

But as soon as he reached the horse's position, he found that the horse Aglaia was riding was dangling in place, as if he was drunk.

Aglaia was very worried and immediately wanted to go up and check what was wrong with the horses.

But Hoffa keenly saw a swinging tail on the back of the horse's head. His expression changed and he immediately grabbed Aglaia's wrist.

At this moment, a curled-winged demon covered in blood directly broke open the horse's skull and spurted out with the horse's brain.

"ah!"

Aglaia screamed loudly and covered her head.

Duh!

A sharp arrow arrived in an instant and pinned the flying Winged Demon to the tree trunk.

The poor horse's entire brain was drilled out, and it fell to the ground with a loud crash, convulsing and dying.

Joey: "Leave it alone and ride the other one."

Aglaia had never seen such a scene before, her face turned pale and her whole body was shaking.

Hoffa was much calmer. He pulled Aglaia to the other horse. He took out his wand and said: "Get on the horse."

Aglaia climbed on the horse's back and stepped on it several times without getting on it.

Hoffa could only hug and push the trembling Aglaia onto the horse's back. After helping her, Hoffa flew onto the horse.

At this moment, in the dark forest, hissing and pounding sounds were heard all the time.

Hoffa turned the horse's head and galloped towards the road. He had to get out of here quickly.

He didn't look back and take care of Joey because he knew that if he was indecisive, he would only cause trouble for the other party. He was an adult wizard and had been a gamekeeper for so many years, so self-preservation was definitely not a problem.

Sure enough, Joey fired a bow and arrows continuously behind Hoffa, and he shot each of the curling-winged demons in the air.

A rain of blue-purple blood splashed down.

However, more and more curling-winged demons appeared from the woods in all directions, and the bows and arrows gradually became exhausted.

Joey noticed this, he took out a magic glass ball from his pocket and threw it into the air.

boom!

There was a loud noise.

The glass ball touched the Winged Demon and exploded in the sky.

Hoffa, who was on horseback, heard the violent explosion behind him and the light of fire reaching into the sky.

He glanced sideways for a moment, and saw that the entire forest behind had turned into a sea of ​​fire. The tree trunk at the center of the explosion instantly turned into powder. The shock wave carried leaves and soil and hit Hoffa's face with pain.

There was no time to worry about Joey. Pushed by the shock wave, Hoffa saw several Winged Demons rolling and hitting the tree trunk in front of him.

These creatures have extremely strong vitality. After falling to the ground and shaking for a few times, they stumbled up again and flew away towards Hoffa.

Hoffa didn't dare to look back, he just wanted to break out of the forbidden forest and return to school.

But just as he was galloping on the horse, two curled-winged demons grabbed the collar of Aglaia's shoulders and pulled her off the horse. The creature was not big, but it was surprisingly strong.

Incomparable.

"bach!"

Aglaia only had time to stretch out her hand and scream. In the blink of an eye, she was pulled by the curling-winged demon and flew a dozen meters into the air.

Depend on!

Hoffa didn't have time to catch the opponent.

He quickly turned the horse's head.

Pull out the wand.

He pointed at Aglaia and shouted, "Petrify them all!"

A red light flashed from the wand, and Aglaia and the two Winged Demons were petrified in the sky at the same time.

However, things did not get better. After being petrified, the Winged Demon and Aglaia quickly fell from the sky nearly ten meters high at the same time.

The ground is a dense forest of thorns!

If you fall down, you will either die or be crippled.

what to do?

"Yingardim Leviosa!" Hoffa was in a hurry and used the floating spell.

However, the floating spell did not work on living objects. The white light hit Aglaia, and she continued to fall.

Damn it!

Hoffa's mind was spinning very fast, think quickly, think quickly!

Suddenly, a magic spell broke through the fog and appeared in his mind.

Hoffa raised his wand and waved it fiercely.

"The Golden Bell Upside Down!"

A golden light flashed.

The curse of the Half-Blood Prince is indeed the same as described in the original work, simple and reliable.

Aglaia was caught off guard and was pulled upside down by her ankles, hanging headfirst in the air. The underpants and student stockings under her school uniform were all exposed, and the robe covered her entire upper body.

Hoffa was not in the mood to enjoy this scene.

Two petrified winged demons fell to the ground. These creatures have high magic resistance. After falling on the thorns, they struggled and bounced for a while.

Hoffa jumped off his horse and quickly ran to where Aglaia was hanging upside down. He kicked away some of the sharpest thorns and trampled the two struggling Winged Demons to death.

"The golden bell fell to the ground."

Hoffa waved his wand again, and after reading the spell, he reached out to catch the falling Aglaia.

The impact of the whole person's fall made Hoffa's arms sink. He and Aglaia rolled into a ball, and her obstructive robe entangled Hoffa's whole body with the thorns.

"The curse stops immediately."

Hoffa lifted the petrification spell.

As soon as the curse was lifted, Aglaia strangled Hoffa's neck directly in his school robe.

"I'm going to kill you, Hoffa Bach, what kind of spells are you using!!!"
