"I'm still alive... Ha! I'm still alive..."
The dazzling light gradually dissipated, and everyone looked again with squinted eyes and tears, but only saw Ron holding up his wand and grinning to himself.
"...It's a shadow! That thing is a shadow!" He said, and immediately shook the wand in his hand to indicate, "If you shine a strong light on it, you can't get close!"
"shadow?"
Hermione wiped her tears with her sleeve because the light was too bright just now, and then looked around a few times - the shadow could not be found again.
However, Ron, who had just been attacked, was still riding on his broom unscathed. This was an undoubted fact.
"No wonder the rules of gravity are invalid for it..." She thought for a while and couldn't help but whisper to herself, "But even if it is really a shadow, how should we deal with it?"
After thinking about it, Hermione immediately waved her wand and summoned a bright magical light. This light does not have to be too powerful, it is enough to illuminate the surrounding fog.
When others saw this, they also cast the wand glowing spell, making the surrounding space brilliant.
"It's best not to let your guard down, and then..." Hermione reminded, then paused before adding, "Anyway, let's wait and see!"
So, it turned out that Ron seemed to have guessed correctly.
During the next ten minutes of waiting, although Luna said that she could still feel the lingering malice lingering nearby, the twisted shadow never appeared again.
"Let me tell you! At that time, I did see the guy twisting when Hermione's disarming spell was shot. Later, I thought about it again. It should be that the light emitted by the spell affected its control of the shadows - And what will be affected by the sudden extra light will be shadows, right?"
Ron said happily while looking around, but saw that Ginny finally couldn't help but turned her head and glared at him as usual.
However, this time his observations and discoveries have indeed brought great help to everyone. If there were more attacks like before, someone would be injured sooner or later.
"Okay, I know you're powerful." Hermione rolled her eyes at him and then said, "It seems that it won't attack again for the time being, and Ron's discovery seems to only allow us to To avoid being attacked by the opponent...it will be harmful to us if we stay any longer, so let’s move on!"
After saying that, she took the lead in speeding up the broomstick and flew towards the east. When everyone saw this, they immediately speeded up and followed him in a tacit understanding.
As a result, Ron, who was a little excited because he was finally put to a great use, naturally had no choice but to close his mouth again, so as not to be filled with cold air before he could say a few words. .
Of course, even as they continued on their way, everyone did not forget to think further about what exactly was attacking them just now.
"Besides Herbo, the only people who are hostile to us in this fog are the zombies under its hands," Hermione secretly speculated in her mind, "And that...maybe another high-level zombie. Bar?"
But to be honest, the threat that the shadow could pose was much higher than the lava zombies that Harry and the others had encountered before!
…
After Hermione and the others started their journey again, about half an hour later, everyone who was still traveling at a relatively fast speed finally had to slow down.
Because as the journey passed halfway, the density of living corpses began to increase again.
"Everyone, please slow down, it's better to be on the safe side!" Harry waved his hand and said, "A little further on is Downton, which is near Salisbury. When we were there last time with Mr. Blois, regardless of the city The suburbs are still full of evolved individuals, and there are countless ordinary living corpses... The number may be less this time, but I guess it won't be much less."
Another thing worth mentioning is that Ron was injured near there last time. Even though he has the ability to heal himself, he has been recovering from his injuries until he was fully recovered recently, which can be said to have left some psychological shadow on him.
Look! At this moment, his expression had begun to change, so much so that even the previous excitement due to the difficulty in getting back the limelight was completely forgotten.
"Well," Hermione nodded and said loudly against the strong wind during flight, "Ron, Hannah, Ginny, you continue to maintain the glowing spell, and leave the fighting to me, Harry and Neville. ...Luna, always pay attention to the situation around us and alert us immediately if there is any abnormality."
"okay!"
After Luna heard this, she immediately raised her arms and swayed as if she was in class.
And just a few minutes after Hermione assigned everyone their respective tasks, Harry's reminder quickly turned into a stressful reality - the flying altitude they maintained could no longer avoid the increasing number of obstacles in the air. Too many flying zombies!
"Bang!"
As a gray magic light was scattered by Harry's sword, a fierce aerial battle began.
Although living zombies that can fly in the air are generally different, they can basically be roughly divided into two categories according to their attack methods:
One type is an individual who relies solely on a specialized, high-strength body to engage in close-range melee combat; the other type is an individual whose body is relatively fragile, but can use a small number of innate magic to carry out long-range attacks.
It's just that compared to the latter, the former who are physically strong and even have a certain resistance to magic can obviously cause greater trouble to Hermione and the others.
"Harry, Hermione, let me see if I can divert some of it like Mr. Blois did."
Seemingly remembering the scene when Blois summoned the flame dragon to draw the attention of many enemies, Neville thought for a moment and simply rolled off the back of the Lion Patron Saint and turned to ride on the same horse as Hannah. On the broom. Instead of having to carry his patron saint, he immediately accelerated and dragged Silver Tail Takong forward.
After a silent roar, the soaring silver lion suddenly rushed into the middle of a group of flying zombies, biting and clawing at enemies it encountered. Suddenly, there was a commotion among the living corpses.
Seeing that it was feasible, Neville did not let the Patronus fight. After harassing him for a while, he turned around and rushed towards the other side, taking away many individuals who preferred close combat.
"good!"
Hermione nodded immediately when she saw this, but her hands were not idle either. While constantly resisting the incoming magic, several rune cards flew out and fell silently towards the remote species a little further away.
