Chapter 335 333 Forbidden Forest

Chapter 335 333. Forbidden Forest

The time is up, and except for Jon, the other three people all subconsciously clenched their fists.

Before entering the Forbidden Forest, Matthew emphasized the last rule to them.

"Don't forget what I emphasized before. You can attack each other, but you are not allowed to kill each other during the game. After the game, we will use the flashback spell to check each of your wands. Once a violation is found, the score will be cancelled. And if you feel your life is threatened during the game, you can release red sparks to the sky, and we will have special personnel to rescue you from the Forbidden Forest, but at the same time, it also means that the score of this game is zero."

When he said this, he obviously glanced in the direction of Jon. Obviously, among the people present, Jon was the one who was most likely to violate this rule.

Not only him, Emil and Draco were also secretly watching Jon. Only when there was this rule, they would not be so scared when they played the game. After all, Jon, who was covered in blood that night, left a deep impression on everyone.

Just after Matthew finished preaching all the rules, he suddenly spoke concisely and calmly.

"Now, the game begins!"

In front of Jon and the others, facing the direction of the Forbidden Forest, there was an obvious light silver line on the grass, and as long as they walked into this line, it meant that the first competition event was about to begin.

But at this time, neither Emil nor Draco moved. They were looking at Jon, obviously not daring to go in first, and put their backs in front of Jon.

Jon certainly saw their thoughts, he shrugged, holding the wand in his hand and said casually.

"Hey, since you are all being humble, let me go in first."

After saying that, he did not stop, and took a step directly and crossed the silver-white line.

He didn't seem to worry about being attacked from behind, so he walked into the Forbidden Forest without looking back, until he passed through a dense bush and completely disappeared from everyone's sight.

At this time, Emil and Draco breathed a sigh of relief. They turned their heads and looked at Diane again, and found that she was also staring at them with a vigilant face, as if she would immediately fight back as long as they showed signs of directly attacking Jon.

Draco glanced at her arrogantly, without saying anything, but turned his head and nodded to his father, and then walked into the silver line second.

Emil followed behind him. The two had obviously discussed some things before, and now they walked together after entering the Forbidden Forest.

Seeing the two of them also walked into the Forbidden Forest, Diane, who looked alert, finally stepped into the Forbidden Forest.

So far, the four warriors have entered the competition venue. They will stay in it for at least three days until they decide to end the competition.

Watching everyone walk into the Forbidden Forest, Voldemort's expression never changed significantly.

He had not stayed in Hogwarts Castle these days, but came back specifically for the day of the competition.

Dumbledore still looked at him with a smile on his face, but he did not want to communicate with him. Then Voldemort turned to look at Snape, and said lightly without lowering his voice.

"Keep an eye on the castle, you know I have always had high hopes for you."

Snape lowered his head and answered firmly.

"I will."

However, just as he was about to leave the school, a sudden voice suddenly interrupted the peace here!

"Petrify all!"

In the direction where Jon disappeared, a red spell suddenly shot out from behind the dense bushes!

And the target of the spell was the direction where Emil and Draco left together!

This petrification spell instantly crossed a distance of nearly 100 meters, and then before Draco had any time to react, the petrification spell hit him with great accuracy!

The next second, the boy of the same age as Jon was completely frozen in place, with the last expression on his face still maintaining confusion and fear, and then his hard body fell straight to the ground.

Emile obviously reacted much faster than Draco. Before the petrification spell hit Draco, he rolled on the grass very quickly to avoid the attack in advance!

However, Jon's first target was obviously not him, but the second spell was shot from the tip of his staff again after the petrification spell took effect!

"Fall to the ground!"

It was also a red light. Emile seemed to have entered an unavoidable space. His initial misjudgment made it impossible for him to twist his body and dodge in the first time.

But just when Jon's coma spell was about to hit him, Emile suddenly pulled the petrified Draco in front of him!

"Bang!"

The impact of the spell overturned Draco's body. With a look of despair on his face, the coma spell completely took effect, making him lose consciousness.

Just after Emil successfully used Draco as a meat shield to avoid John's attack, he quickly got up from the ground, turned around and cast a spell in John's direction, then turned around and ran towards the depths of the Forbidden Forest!

The attack took place in just a few seconds, in a flash, and even the referees and Aurors outside the Forbidden Forest were all stunned!

No one expected that John would start the game right at the beginning, and knocked down Draco with one move!

Lucius couldn't hold back when he saw this scene, and he suddenly pulled out his wand, but after Matthew looked back at him, the spell that was already on his lips was swallowed back into his stomach.

Voldemort, who had originally planned to leave directly, also stopped. There was not much expression on his face, but he just looked at John.

Facing his gaze, John was not afraid. He did not intend to continue chasing Emil, but walked directly to Draco, who was hit by the petrification spell and the coma spell, with a faint smile on his face, looking at everyone present.

"If I help him leave the Forbidden Forest, will he lose his qualification to compete?"

The scene was quiet, and all the people of Voldemort's faction raised their wands. Lucius and the Aurors led by him all stared at Jon.

Soon, Voldemort spoke calmly.

"According to the rules of the competition, as long as he leaves the scope of the Forbidden Forest, he will be disqualified from this event regardless of whether he is willing or not."

Jon had already grabbed Draco's collar, and in front of everyone present, he threw him out of the silver line without hesitation.

Lucius could no longer bear it, he walked quickly to his son, hugged Draco, who was covered with grass and dirt, in his arms, and then looked at Jon, his eyes full of resentment and hatred.

Jon turned around and walked back to the depths of the Forbidden Forest without caring, and waved his hand behind his back.

"Don't thank me, I'm actually saving him, Mr. Malfoy."

Voldemort stared at his back, his eyes never moved away, and he said in a low voice that everyone could hear.

"I look forward to your performance in this game, Jon Green."

Jon's figure had disappeared in the bushes again, leaving only one sentence in his reply to Voldemort.

"Thank you for your expectation."

All this happened so suddenly that even now Matthew's three wizards from the International Magical Federation came back to their senses.

They looked at Draco who was being de-cursed by Lucius, and couldn't help looking at each other. No one thought that less than five minutes after the start of this competition, one person had already been eliminated.

Jon's two unexpected spells were too fast. Not to mention Draco and Emil, even the adult wizards outside didn't react.

When they looked at Lucius, many of them showed sympathy. Anyone could see that among the four selected warriors, Draco's level was obviously not as good as the other three, and now it was just the beginning of the first competition.

Dumbledore's smile never changed from beginning to end. He watched Voldemort leave the school, and then turned around and left with Rosier.

There were special people responsible for watching the process of the game. The referees from different schools only needed to determine the final result of the game and the fairness of the process. The penalties and rules in the middle were all in charge of Matthew and the other three.

Under Lucius's removal of the curse, Draco woke up quickly. His face was pale, and he wanted to shrink his neck and hide his head in his shirt.

Lucius did not blame him for anything, but patted his back and whispered softly.

"This is indeed not necessarily a bad thing, as long as it can ensure your safety."

After entering the Forbidden Forest, Jon did not go deep immediately.

He clearly understood that this game was not so easy to complete. Not only did he have to face those dragons, but the golden snitch itself, which was a scoring item, was not something that could be easily caught.

In Quidditch games, it was easy to catch the golden snitch with a broomstick, as long as his eyes were sharp enough and his reaction was fast enough.

In the absence of a broomstick, even if he could cast a spell on it with a wand, it was not so easy to hit it, not to mention that he had to face the interference and attack of the dragons in the process.

So Jon was not worried at all about how quickly Emil, who had escaped from him, could achieve his goal. Moreover, for Jon, his purpose of entering the Forbidden Forest was far more than just winning this event.

After making sure that he had disappeared from the referees' sight, Jon took off the old wooden sign from the pendant on his neck.

Then he just held the sign and wandered around the periphery of the Forbidden Forest.

This is what Hagrid gave him. The animals in the Forbidden Forest are very sensitive, and they can easily recognize the wooden sign that Hagrid always carries with him.

And helping Hagrid to look after the magical animals is also like helping Jon himself. The natives here must know more about the territory where the dragons in the Forbidden Forest are now entrenched than he does.

The Forbidden Forest is indeed the largest gathering place for magical animals in the UK. Jon saw many magical animals that he had never seen in the outside world before.

The bowtruckle lying on the branches of the tree, the bandit hiding in the mushroom group, the hairy crab that looks like a crab but has long teeth, and the ugly fox.

Every time he met a magical animal like this, Jon would hold up the wooden sign and approach to see if he could get close to them, but obviously no animal showed much kindness to him. After seeing him approaching, they all fled in panic.

After wandering around the periphery for two hours, Jon began to feel that his method might be wrong.

This forbidden forest is really too big. Even Hagrid, who had guarded this hunting ground for decades, might not be able to recognize every animal. He was wandering around here holding this wooden sign, which was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Just as Jon was thinking about whether he should try a different method, he suddenly noticed a gaze looking straight at him.

Jon turned his head and looked at the little thing lying on the tree trunk. The tree guarding troglodyte quickly shyly turned away his gaze, as if it didn't dare to meet his eyes directly.

But Jon didn't give up this discovery. He could clearly feel that the tree guarding troglodyte's eyes were looking at the wooden sign in his hand.

He walked to the tree, shook the wooden sign in his hand and asked.

"Do you recognize this thing?"

The Bowtruckle didn't say anything, but glanced at the wooden sign in Jon's hand, and then climbed down from the tree trunk.

It walked forward on the grass, and at the same time, it didn't forget to look back at Jon.

Jon understood what it meant.

"You want me to follow you?"

The Bowtruckle didn't respond, but just moved forward again, and then looked back at him.

Jon just thought about it for a moment, and then followed the Bowtruckle, following it into the depths of the Forbidden Forest.

Even if this Bowtruckle was not Hagrid's friend, it must know Hagrid, otherwise such a cautious magical animal would not take the initiative to communicate with strangers.

Instead of looking for a needle in a haystack, Jon thought it would be better to follow it and see, maybe there would be some unexpected discoveries.

Although it is small, the Bowtruckle's movements are not slow. Jon speeds up to keep up with its pace. Soon the little guy stopped in front, climbed up a nearby tree, and gestured to Jon.

Jon walked forward and saw some spots of silver liquid in a sunken pit on the ground.
