Kewen in the tree crown slowed down his breathing and pressed his body firmly against a huge branch, so that his body was completely covered by the branches.
Then the waiting began.
In less than five breaths, a tall and majestic figure quickly emerged from behind a tree.
The person coming was Rubeus Hagrid, the caretaker of the academy grounds and the Forbidden Forest.
Hagrid had just come around from behind the giant tree when he saw the large illusion arranged by Ke Wen.
The illusion is very virtual, and is entirely composed of magic dust that exudes dim yellow light.
At this time, the illusion showed an adult figure wearing a wizard's robe, with the hood of the robe covering his head, and he was pointing his wand at Hagrid's location.
Suddenly seeing such a figure, Hagrid couldn't help but stop reflexively, and at the same time shouted: "Who is it!"
However, after shouting, Hagrid saw the situation clearly and realized that the figure was just an illusion.
Although he lowered his guard slightly, Hagrid still looked around carefully to prevent himself from being attacked.
After being alert for a moment, Hagrid still didn't notice anyone ambushing around him. In the midst of his doubts, a figure quickly rushed out of the woods on the right, it was the Centaur Firenze.
When Firenze rushed out, he held up his spear as if throwing it, but he quickly discovered the nature of the illusion.
Looking around with the same caution, Firenze asked in a deep voice: "Hagrid, what's going on?"
"I don't know either. I was shocked by this illusion after I rushed over." Hagrid relaxed his vigilance a little after seeing his companions, and then asked: "Where are you?"
"We were deceived!" Firenze frowned and replied: "We all thought that the light was someone using the 'fluorescence spell', but after I caught up with him, I discovered that it was just a ball of flying fluorescence. Obviously
It was deliberately used by the murderer to confuse us!"
As soon as Firenze finished speaking, the large illusion in the field suddenly began to become distorted. Not long after, the illusion completely dissipated, and darkness returned to the surrounding area.
"It seems that the murderer is very meticulous!" Seeing this, Firenze came to Hagrid and said: "First, he used flying fluorescence to separate us, and then left an illusion, successfully blocking you here...
"
"It's a pity..." Hagrid sighed after hearing this: "It's a pity that Yaya didn't come with me today."
"No." Firenze shook his head: "I guess, with the murderer's meticulousness, he will definitely eliminate the clues of the smell."
"Then what should we do..." Hagrid suddenly paused here and said urgently: "Footprints!"
He looked at the centaur Firenze, and then Hagrid quickly took out a small umbrella from his arms.
Lifting up the umbrella in his hand, Hagrid drew a circle with the umbrella while chanting: "Super fluorescent flashing!"
A ball of light appeared at the tip of the umbrella, and a large area of light dispersed the surrounding darkness.
Next, Hagrid and Firenze leaned down slightly and carefully searched for the footprints on the ground.
A few minutes later, the two finally found three vague footprints behind a tree.
"They ran this way!" Because of the discovery, Hagrid couldn't help but become more energetic and urged slightly eagerly: "Firenz! Let's chase them quickly!"
"Wait Hagrid!" Firenze quickly called to Hagrid who was about to rush out.
"Firenz?" Hagrid stopped in confusion and turned to look at his companion.
"There's something wrong with these footprints!" Firenze looked serious and explained in a calm voice: "We have searched the surrounding area, and there are only footprints here!"
"Is there something wrong with this?" Hagrid didn't think too much, so he looked very confused.
Firenze shook his head when he heard this and continued to explain: "No, this is not right! Think about it, we did not pursue you from this direction.
Obviously, the murderer carefully removed the footprints before, so I think the footprints here are deliberately left by the murderer to lure us again!"
"Then what should we do?" Hagrid said tangledly: "We have no other clues."
Firenze pondered for a moment, and finally sighed with no results, and said helplessly: "Okay, we can only pursue it in this direction."
Hagrid nodded without saying anything, turned around and followed the direction of the footsteps to catch up.
Firenze fell one step behind. After taking a final look around, he could only follow...
In the canopy of the tree, Kewen waited until he could no longer hear the footsteps of Hagrid and Firenze, then he breathed a sigh of relief and sat up on the branch.
He cast a 'Light Body Curse' on himself again and easily jumped down from the ten-meter-high tree crown.
In order to avoid overturning the situation at the last moment, Coven continued to release the 'Recovery Spell' and maintained it to eliminate his own footprints.
Afterwards, Kewen chased the twins toward the outside of the Forbidden Forest.
Because Hagrid and Firenze searched for clues for several minutes, they also held Coven back for several minutes.
By the time Kewen successfully caught up with the twins, they were already approaching the edge of the Forbidden Forest.
Kewen called out to the twins, and then the twins stopped breathing heavily, and then they both collapsed to the ground from exhaustion.
After continuing to breathe for a while, Fred finally asked reluctantly: "Ke, Ke Wen... have you gotten rid of the people who are chasing us?"
"Get rid of it." Ke Wen responded with a steady breath. This amount of exercise was nothing to him.
"That, that's good..." After knowing the result, Fred breathed a sigh of relief, and then concentrated on breathing heavily to supply oxygen to his lungs.
George said nothing and weakly raised his hand to wave to Coven as a greeting.
Ke Wen looked at the two people's embarrassment and couldn't help but smile and shake his head, suggesting: "You should exercise, you have only been running for ten minutes."
The twins were unable to speak and could only roll their eyes at Ke Wen.
Seeing that the twins were still recovering for a while, Kewen looked around, then raised his wand and pointed a little further away.
He controlled several large branches scattered on the ground to fly over, and then used the 'Transformation Summoning Spell' to try to replace the five Acromantulas that had not been dealt with in time.
The next moment, five huge Acromantula corpses suddenly replaced the positions of the big branches and appeared in front of the three people.
"Great!" Ke Wen couldn't help but exclaimed excitedly when he saw this: "I guess they haven't had time to collect these corpses yet!"
Upon seeing this, the twins also showed excited expressions, and one after another reluctantly got up from the ground and came to Ke Wen's side.
The three of them looked at each other in a tacit understanding, and then started working again.
Separate the spider legs, use dragon skin gloves to remove the venom sac and squeeze it, and use a beaker to collect the venom.
It only took the three skilled workers less than three minutes to plunder the valuable things from the Acromantula.
No longer staying, the three of them left the Forbidden Forest and returned to the castle. Although there were twists and turns, it was still another fruitful day...
