As soon as Maca's words fell, there was a sudden movement in the bushes behind Ronan. Hagrid raised the bow again, and it turned out to be just a second centaur, with black hair and a black body, looking a little rougher than Ronan.

"Hello, Bane," Hagrid said, "how are you doing?" ”

"Good evening, Hagrid, I hope you're doing well."

"It's okay. Look, I was asking Ronan if you've seen anything weird here lately? One of the unicorns was injured – you know something? ”

Bane walked over and stood beside Ronan, looking up at the sky.

"Mars is bright tonight." That's what he said.

"We've heard it before." Hagrid said irritably, "Well, if any of you see something, come and tell me, okay?" So let's go. ”

"Oh, okay." Maca said, turning back to the two centaurs, "Goodbye, both." ”

The four of them resumed their search, Harry and Hermione chatting with Hagrid about the centaurs, while Maca looked around cautiously.

Just as they were turning a bend in the path, Hermione suddenly grabbed Hagrid's arm.

"Hagrid! Look! Red sparks, others are in trouble! ”

"You two are waiting here!" Hagrid shouted, "Stay on the path, I'll come when I go." ”

He crackled through the low bushes, where Harry and Hermione stood staring at each other, looking scared. Gradually, Hagrid walked away, and all they could hear was the rustling of leaves in the wind.

"Maca, they won't get hurt, will they?" Hermione whispered, "I don't care if Malfoy gets hurt, but if something happens to Neville - we're the ones who dragged him down and got him here to be punished." ”

"Don't worry, with Hagrid and Fangfang, the creatures of the Forbidden Forest won't hurt him." Maca smiled at her.

A moment later, Hagrid led Malfoy and Neville back, Tooth and Tooth sniffing as they walked, and it didn't seem like there was any danger.

In fact, it was just Malfoy who deliberately scared Neville, but he didn't expect Neville to be too timid and directly sent out a distress signal.

"You two have made such a big fuss, and now it's all up to luck for us to catch that thing. All right! We're changing the team - Neville, you're with me, Harry, and Hermione. Maca, you and Toothtooth, and this idiot group. ”

"I'm sorry," Hagrid whispered to Maka again, "but it's not that easy for him to scare you, so let's get it done!" ”

Malfoy obviously didn't want to be with Maca at all, but when Maca looked back at him, he didn't dare say anything more.

So, Maca, Malfoy, and Toothtooth walked towards the center of the Forbidden Forest.

Toothtooth was already familiar with Maca, and he always liked to circle around Maca, but he finally remembered the search, but he didn't suddenly rush up and lick his face as usual.

Maca was so fast on her feet that Malfoy had to trot to keep up to keep up with him to avoid being left behind. They walked for a maximum of fifteen minutes, and as they went deeper, the trees around them became denser, and the path was almost impassable.

The blood on the ground was becoming more and more obvious, and a lot of blood was splattered on the root of a tree that arched out of the ground, and Maca didn't look at it, but continued to move on. Within a few steps, they saw an open space in front of them.

Maca held out her arm, stopping Malfoy in his tracks.

A white thing sparkles in the middle of the clearing, striking at night.

"Stand here and don't come out." Maca whispered, and whether Malfoy listened to him or not, took two steps forward.

Yaya obediently stood on the side of a tree, looking back at the clearing.

It's a unicorn. Covered in silvery, with a supple mane and a long, spiral silver horn on its head, it looked pure and beautiful—though it was dead.

Maca stood quietly behind the branches of the trees on the edge and waited, he knew it should be soon.

In the silence of the night, the flow of time seems very slow. Malfoy, visibly agitated, looked left and right, back and forth, glancing at the unicorn's corpse in the clearing. But perhaps because of Maca's existence, or because of his fear of the Forbidden Forest, he didn't dare to move at all.

About ten minutes later, a sudden sound of sliding came from the edge of the clearing on the opposite side. Maca immediately set her eyes on the place—the bushes around it were shaking.

After a while, a hooded figure flashed in the shadows of the bushes. It crawled slowly on the ground, came to the unicorn, and began to drink its blood from the wounds on the corpse.

"Ahh Ahh——!hhh ”

Malfoy let out a terrible scream, and he froze in place for a moment, then immediately ran away. And at this moment, Yaya's timid character is also exposed - it also escaped with its life.

The hooded figure looked up at the sound, but Maca had already moved to another location, and he was not found.

At this moment, Maca was leaning against the trunk of another tree, and he tilted his head to look at the figure that was moving in the direction that Malfoy had left, thinking to himself.

"Do you want to do something here?" He thought, "I didn't mean to meet him here, but since I did, maybe I could kill him one more time while he was weak, and push things back—"

Just as she was thinking, Maca shook her head again.

"Forget it, it's useless to kill him here once anyway, it's better to take this opportunity to feel his character for yourself. Well, I have to confirm what the effect of making Horcruxes and splitting souls will be on him. ”

Thinking of this, Maca took a decisive step.

"Wait." Maca feigned horror, "Who are you!" Did you kill the unicorn? What exactly are you going to do? ”

The figure had already walked into the woods, but the sudden appearance of Maca made him turn around again.

The other party didn't seem to want to say anything, but rushed towards him.

"There are many obstacles." Maka's panicked look was swept away, and with a wave of his wand, he quickly released an obstacle spell.

"It's all petrified." Taking advantage of the other party's unpreparedness, the second spell followed.

Just as the other party was restricted by Maka's surprise attack, Maka suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves.

"Huh?" Maca looked surprised, he didn't remember this one, "Petrification lifted." ”

Maca threw a counter-spell, and the unrestrained opponent immediately ran into the bushes and disappeared into the depths of the woods. From beginning to end, Maca didn't say a word to him, which obviously blinded his calculations.

Almost as soon as the figure left, a centaur leaped out from behind Maca and snapped a few steps across the clearing, glancing in the direction the figure had left.

"Are you alright?" He turned to Maca and asked.

"I'm fine," Maca sighed inwardly, but there was a hint of gratitude on her face, "thank you." ”

"You'd better go back to Hagrid. It's not safe in the forest at this time......" said the centaur, adding, "My name is Ferenze." ”

"Nice to meet you, Ferenze." Maca smiled, "But I'll have to call Hagrid first, we're here to find it." ”

He raised his wand, and the green light began to converge on the tip of the wand, shining brightly in the darkness.

In a few moments, Hagrid emerged from the darkness on the other side, and he seemed to have a man under his armpit. Maca looked closely, it was Harry, who seemed to be injured.

"What's wrong with him?" Maca said in surprise.

"He was hit by a figure, and I think that's the man who killed the unicorn." Hagrid gasped, "I scared him away, but I didn't catch him!" ”

Maca looked at Harry, who was not in good spirits, her eyes flickering, not knowing what she was thinking.

"It's because killing a unicorn is an extremely brutal thing." Ferencze looked at the unicorn corpse on the ground and said, "Only people who have nothing and want everything would commit such a heinous crime." ”

He paused, then turned to Harry.

"Is this the boy from the Potter family?" "I saw his forehead," he said. ”

"Y-Hello, I am." Harry said as he looked at Ferenze feebly.

"Don't talk yet, put him down and let me see." Marca suddenly said, "Harry, where are you hurt?" ”

Hagrid told Harry to lean against the trunk of a tree, which he thought would at least make him feel better.

"Leg - I think it hurts, is it broken—" Harry said, holding back the pain, gesturing to his left calf.

Maca leaned down and touched his wound slightly, causing Harry to snort in pain and break out in a cold sweat.

"It's okay, it's not magic damage, and the bones shouldn't be broken."

He pulled out a bright green potion vial, uncorked it, and handed it to Harry.

"Drink it down, and it will be fine soon."

While waiting for the effects to take effect, the two centaurs they had first encountered arrived here. They whispered to each other about the unicorn's corpse on the ground, and the sound of conversation came faintly.

"The man who hunts the unicorn, he may want to continue his life."

"It should be good, but it's obviously crazy."

"Yes! The blood of a unicorn can sustain life, but it must pay a heavy price for it. It's crazy to slaughter a pure, feeble, helpless being to save yourself, and therefore receive the curse of eternal life......"

"Alas—Mars is so bright tonight."

"yes, unusually bright......"

Harry leaned over the trunk of the tree, looked at them, and couldn't help but ask aloud, "But who is that outlaw?" ”
