() The burning smell is filling the air. If this is actually the evidence that they are getting closer and closer to Hogwarts Castle, then...

That really makes people laugh!

I don’t know when, returning to my alma mater, which should be full of nostalgia, has become such a difficult and painful thing.

The number and average strength of enemies has become higher...

"Boom!"

As Maca waved his magic wand again, a large number of enemy living corpses exploded into **** sprays in the air, and other people moved more or less, faster or slower, although the whole team moved forward faster and faster. It's getting slower and slower, but it's still moving forward in a down-to-earth manner.

It's just that here, the difference between the density of enemies in the air and on the ground is not that great—perhaps there are indeed fewer flying zombies at high altitudes, but compared with the ground where there is little concern for the danger under the feet, it is obviously not enough In order to make the assault team continue to increase without limit.

What's more, no matter how high you fly, you will always come back to the ground in the end, isn't it?

"Harry...I seem to see the color of the lake!"

Neville, who drove the Patronus to the front of the line, suddenly turned his head when the silver lion leaped and yelled towards the back of the line.

There is no way, the surrounding... especially the living corpses coming from the direction of Hogwarts in front are too dense, layer upon layer, almost completely blocking the view of the ground and near-earth space. Even Neville, who was able to take a look from a slightly higher place with the help of the Patronus from time to time, could only occasionally catch a glimpse of a distant color from the gap between those guys.

"Then work harder! Everyone pay attention, don't relax!"

Harry, who had fallen to the end of the line and was in charge of the rear, heard that even though Neville himself could no longer be seen with his eyes, he still replied immediately:

"Based on our current observations, very few living corpses will take the initiative to enter the water. They don't like to be in the water. When we get there, we can swim through the water. Depending on the situation, we may take the opportunity to take a rest."

"If that's the case, then...that would be great...hehe...because, I feel like I can't hold it anymore." Ron, who also started to actively participate in the battle after falling back to the ground, said this Shi couldn't help panting, and said intermittently, "It's just that I found that the number of high-level living corpses rushing towards us since about fifteen minutes ago... Huh... seems to be higher than the previous one. The road adds up! Those rampant and surprisingly strong guys, do they really care if there is a lake between us?"

"It's really hard to say," Sarah, who was always by Maca's side in the middle of the queue, agreed with the sentence after hearing this sentence, and then looked up at Maca, "After all, the living corpses Not that they're afraid of water—they're clearly not that vulnerable, are they?"

"Um?"

Maca is also constantly cleaning up those enemies that are approaching the team, especially those ordinary individuals who have the largest number, and individuals who have advanced to different levels but have not yet reached advanced levels.

It is true that there are not many people in the team who can quickly deal with a large number of enemies, so although the most difficult guys are dealt with and killed by others, when the overall number of enemies is almost inexhaustible, he The battle burden is actually the heaviest.

Fortunately, there was another Safina who arrived with the army just before his departure and also took the time to help out from time to time. The sea of ​​black flames that seemed to share the same source as Haierbo's soul flame was a raging flame Tao, like silk and flowing clouds, is no less lethal to the living corpses than the silver mist triggered by the Patronus Curse.

Just when Safina, transformed into a black flame, splashed a large wave of black flames, Maca, who had a little gap, turned to look at Sarah who was talking to him just now, but after thinking about it But he shook his head slightly.

"Now the question is no longer on 'Are living corpses afraid of water'...Sarah, don't you feel anything strange about the 'high-level living corpses' that have appeared recently?"

"What do you mean?" Sarah frowned slightly, "If you mean the strength of their souls... Indeed, that's a bit beyond the normal level, and only Rebes and the others who are gradually improving their emotions" Only those of the same race can be considered to be able to surpass them by a head—this is obviously the reason why the strength of those high-level individuals that they met later became stronger, right?"

Having said that, Sarah paused for a moment, and then her expression became a little hesitant.

"Could it be that the high-level living corpses at Hogwarts also have 'people' filling their soul defects? No...it doesn't look like it?"

Breaking through many obstacles along the way to get here, everyone has seen countless living corpses. Although the high-level individuals are still a minority in general, the total sum is really not small.

Especially now, as the location of Hogwarts Castle is getting closer, the frequency of the team encountering high-level zombies is also rising sharply-that is a level that has seriously slowed down the progress of the operation.

But to be honest, no matter whether it was encountered before or recently, those living corpses who have evolved to a high level have not shown any signs of behaviors that produce wisdom and self, let alone the so-called "emotion" " and "mood" again!

"Of course not like~lightnovelpub.net~ Makar said somewhat seriously, "Because the situation is just the opposite—they don't fill up the shortcomings of the soul, but... the parts of instinct and desire have been multiplied. You may be right about one thing though, it is most likely also 'artificial'! "

"That is to say..." Sarah heard the words, and immediately felt it carefully, and murmured in her mouth.

"That is to say," Maca continued subconsciously, "the high-ranking zombies near the school...are becoming 'demonized'."

This topic has come to this point, and it can actually be connected with some unconfirmed speculations before - the strange cloud in the north is indeed getting thicker and thicker, and its influence on the living corpses is indeed increasing. . Although I don't know how "someone" catalyzed and transformed those living corpses like this, the "sin" in the souls of those high-level living corpses seems to have become more and more serious.

As a result, those high-level living corpses at the top have a tendency to demonize.

"This is really 'good' news!" Safina, who passed by, seemed to have heard the conversation between the two, and she couldn't help but sighed softly at this moment.
