Chapter 231 Stone Cave Corpse (Modified)
Michael floated higher and higher and further away in the eyes of the young wizards. Allen and the three quickly caught up.
"My God, he flew towards the Shrieking Shack!" Penelope Clearwater ran out of breath.
"You can't go beyond there, the notice says, there are dementors stationed at the entrance!" Allen quickened his pace, "They don't know what forgiveness is!"
Michael flies too high! Allen immediately took out his Nimbus 2001, zoomed in, turned over and rode on it—he quickly caught up with Michael, who was flying higher and higher.
Now Michael is no longer excited, he is full of horror. Because of Gao, he saw those dementors in the distance moving fast in his direction.
Allen, who was sitting on the Nimbus 2001, also saw it. He grabbed Michael and firmly fixed him on the broomstick.
"Don't be afraid! They can't smell us so far away." Noticing Michael's stiff body, Alan comforted him, but in the eyes of Penello and Edward, they fell quickly like meteors.
"What happened? Feeling that Allen is in a hurry?" Penello said strangely.
"Could something be wrong with Michael?" Edward couldn't help becoming anxious.
"Alan, they will hit the ground!" Edward screamed.
"No, no!" The female student council president stared at Alan and the others closely.
When he was about to hit the ground, Allen's broom slid a long way and rushed into a boulder beach in the distance. Penello rushed over immediately, followed by Edward.
Penello jumped over some slippery rocks lightly, and Edward couldn't catch up with her.
"Ah!" Penelope slipped and couldn't help screaming, and the gravel under her feet collapsed. Under the unstable center of gravity, Penello and these small stones and sand rolled down from the rocks.
Noticing that something was wrong, Edward managed to climb over the rock and found that Penello had disappeared without a trace!
"Edward, where's Penello?" Allen dragged Michael out behind a huge rock, and saw Edward standing on a tall rock in a daze from a distance.
"Alan!" Edward's eyes lit up suddenly, and he waved desperately to Alan.
"Penello has fallen into the hole!" cried Edward.
"Edward, hold Michael here and don't let him float away. I'll go down and have a look first." After handing Michael over to Edward, Alan ordered and hurriedly approached the place pointed by the other party. He carefully observed the cave, looking for a suitable foothold.
Although the cave is low, it can just accommodate a person to climb in, and Penello actually fell here. This luck is really bad. Worried about Penello's safety, Allen yelled and saw that there was no response inside, lit a branch and threw it in and found that the burning did not stop, so he immediately climbed in with hands and feet.
After crawling in the narrow, slippery cave for a while, Allen was surprised to find that he could slowly straighten up. This stone cave is unique. He squinted his eyes in the dim light, as if seeing a tunnel leading to one side. Alan took a step forward, the shoes under his feet slipped on the wet ground of the cave, and a strong musty smell choked Alan almost out of breath.
"Huh, light?" The light flashed near the cave wall, and Allen walked over following the light. The cave narrowed again, turning to one side, the dim light flickering around the corner, somewhere in the depths of the cave.
"If it was Penello, how could she go to such a deep place?" Allen was very puzzled, but he didn't stop under his feet and moved forward quickly.
It was really Penello—with the help of the light from the wand, Allen saw that Penello was in a mess, her hair was messed up, and her cheek was bruised. She was looking carefully at the one on the ground—huh? skeleton?
"Penello, it's great that you're fine!" Alan stepped forward, and a healing spell taught by his mother who was a therapist restored Penello's face to its original state.
"Alan—come here!" Penello pointed to the skeleton in front of her and said, "I found a skeleton!"
Allen and Penello stood there silently, staring down at the skeleton. The skeleton was curled on its side, every bone intact, empty eye sockets staring at them from gray skulls.
"What kind of bone is this?" Penello asked intermittently in a low voice, she stared at it intently, her mouth opened into an O shape in surprise: "It seems to be the same as any kind of magical creature I have learned. Not on the number!"
"Maybe it's a common animal," Ellen said to her, "maybe a deer?"
After finishing speaking, Allen leaned down and took a closer look: "No...it's not a deer, it has toe bones, but no hooves." He looked at the skull, which was huge and had sharp teeth, "I guess it's a wolf."
"A wolf?" Penelope said, "but why is it here? That cave wolf can't climb up."
Allen took out a leg bone and looked carefully at the light of the wand: "There is no sign of cracking on the bone."
Penello squatted down beside Allen: "Who would want to eat a wolf?"
"Wolf meat is high in protein!" Allen said jokingly to the Muggle-born female student president, "In fact, it is said that many things can be eaten as long as the head is removed, and many of them taste like chicken."
"Alan, let me tell you the business. This wolf is not like being eaten by other beasts." Penello pushed Alan hard, "If it is an animal, it will definitely chew some bones and make it It's a mess, isn't it? And this skeleton is so well preserved."
"The Bone Removal Curse can produce such an effect, maybe it's a wizard!" Allen thought of another possibility, "Could it be—Sirius? Black?"
"But what kind of wizard would stay in such a smelly place? It's a dementor, I'm afraid they will all be smoked away." Penello said.
At this time, Allen was already lost in thought and was on the run. In order to avoid Aurors and Dementors, he obviously couldn't go in and out of hotels and hotels ostentatiously, so a hidden hiding place was very necessary. If it wasn't for Sirius, the wizards who could live here would obviously not be kind.
Thinking of such speculation, Allen urged Penello: "Let's go out!"
"Okay, this cave looks really scary." Penello stood up, and suddenly froze again.
Allen also stopped, and they heard a soft creaking sound somewhere in front of them. A sound of gently flapping wings grew louder.
"What's that noise?" Penelope called, her shrill voice echoing off the cave walls.
Before Allen could answer, the flapping sound turned into a heavy crash, almost deafening their ears.
"No——" Allen raised his eyes, just in time to see the dark cave roof collapse and fall straight towards them—they were still alive.
