Chapter 350 Hatred lasts no more than a night

Jon felt like his stomach was about to be turned upside down.

The one that carried him away from those dragons was the leader of the Unicorn in the Forbidden Forest, a little larger than a normal Unicorn with a longer horn on its head, so it was easily recognisable.

It was certainly not as fast as Hoss, but it was faster than Jon's normal flying speed, and as a darling of nature, still in the Forbidden Forest, their home base, it was almost impossible for the dragons to catch up with it here.

Jon spat two more gushes of blood into the ground and then clutched the unicorn's neck, barely managing to keep his body sideways so that his stomach didn't keep getting jostled, which made him feel a little better.

He stroked the unicorn's fur.

"Thank you for your help, but don't take me to your pack with you in the end, those dragons can track the scent and will find us, and you will be in big trouble when there are more of them."

To this the unicorn didn't respond much, it still ran deeper into the forbidden forest like it knew what to do.

Jon said nothing more to it, instead, he braced himself and looked again at the time on his pocket watch, there were less than twenty minutes until the end of the first tournament task at eight o'clock and there was no telling what condition Hoss might be in.

Just as Jon was looking at the time on his pocket watch, the unicorn led Jon to the destination it wanted to reach.

Eventually, it led Jon to its flock, where unicorns of all sizes were gathered together as if hiding from the scourge dragons that plagued the forbidden forest with fire.

Jon was now so physically exhausted, one shot of the enhanced Killing Curse and one shot of the Invisible Sword Curse had drained him so badly that he could barely stand up on his legs at all, and after getting off the unicorn's back, he slumped down on the grass flat on his back.

He knew he couldn't rest yet; when he and Hoss had split up, they had agreed on a rendezvous time, and with that time not that long away, he had to first observe where Hoss was now through those dragons in the sky. This, coupled with the possibility that the few dragons that were chasing him would be looking for him at any moment, did not relax Jon's tense spirit one bit.

He was only vaguely aware of the fact that he was surrounded by unicorns, and then a few drops of a slightly hot liquid fell onto his lips, causing him to lick them subconsciously.

As the liquid was licked into his mouth, it was only after a few seconds that he felt something different in his body.

There was extremely pure and powerful magic flowing through his body, acting like a source of heat that ran along every part of his body, and soon the intense pain that had been in his back disappeared!

He could even feel his broken ribs, recovering little by little!

Not just the physical damage, but the tired spirit, was becoming revitalised along with it, making Jon, who one second wanted to just close his eyes, not wanting to move a finger, sit up abruptly on the ground the next.

He blinked his eyes and saw the little unicorn in front of him.

It was looking at him with clean, bright eyes, and a few drops of silvery liquid could still be seen faintly oozing from the wound that had been burned by the dragon's fire breath which had since been mostly healed with the fresh Dittany Sap!

The blood of a Unicorn.

It is arguably the most powerful healing elixir in the world, there is no need to add other messy things to neutralise it, legend has it that just the blood itself can achieve the effect of bringing the dead back to life.

But Unicorns are considered a holy and pure race, and if one were to kill a Unicorn just to take its blood, the person who drank it would suffer the most horrible curse for eternity.

This has led to the fact that although Unicorn blood has such powerful effects, it is hardly circulated in the magical world, even though it is the blood that can save lives and purify the deadliest of poisons.

But that is the case when the blood is taken by force; if a unicorn is willing to give its blood to a human of its own accord, then naturally there is no such curse.

Apparently, the drops of liquid that Jon had just tasted were the blood of this little unicorn, and even though they were only a few drops, they had a healing effect far beyond that of the Phoenix's tears.

When the little unicorn saw Jon, who was still confused, sitting up from the ground, it leaned over and nuzzled against his face, which brought Jon back to his senses.

Just then, a couple of Bowtruckles came bouncing up to him with some leaves in their hands, they then tore them open and crumbled them, and soon some of the greenish sap fell onto Jon's body.

The little unicorn also licked Jon's face and upper body along with that sap and soon the fishy smell that had been lingering on him was gone!

Jon's eyes widened as he touched the area that had just been licked by the little unicorn, and even that part of his skin felt a little whiter than the rest.

This was clearly an effect of the mixture of the leaves brought in by these Bowtruckles and the unicorn's saliva.

He looked around at the creatures that surrounded him in the middle, and the emotion and complexity in his heart could not be expressed.

If he hadn't agreed to do Hagrid a favour, he would never have thought of looking for these Unicorns in the first place, nor would he have come across the Bowtruckles, let alone meet Hoss.

Now in the Forbidden Forest, no matter which one of them, they had helped Jon immensely, to the point of being completely considered a lifesaver.

"Hey, thank you, my friend."

Jon rubbed the little unicorn's face, which made the unicorn in question seem a little shy.

He stood up from the ground and the Bowtruckles who were still holding broken leaves in their hands jumped onto his shoulders and Jon inclined his head to look at them.

"And thank you all for that."

The Bowtruckles tugged at his hair as if they were responding to Jon's words of thanks.

Jon picked up a branch from the side and with a tap of his wand at it, he turned it into a black robe and put it on himself, and the Bowtruckles jumped and landed on the head of the little Unicorn, and then jumped back down to the ground.

It was not just the Unicorns and the Bowtruckles that had gathered here, but most of the other magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest were here as well; the commotion created by the dragons had left them to seek a temporary safe haven to hide, and this place hadn't yet been infested by the dragons.

The sound of a dragon roaring could still be faintly heard in the distance and Jon buttoned up his robes as he turned his head to look at the flock of unicorns and the rest of those creatures.

"This danger will soon pass, don't worry, no one will come back to the Forbidden Forest for further harassment after this time, and all these dragons will be all taken away."

Although not all the magical creatures understood the human tongue, the vast majority of them sensed the goodwill in Jon's words.

Then finally Jon looked to the flock of unicorns and with a smile on his face he stepped forward and hugged the neck of the leader of the unicorn that had saved him from the siege of the dragons.

"I-I you guys have helped me out a lot this time, even though I've said it before, words like this cannot be said enough, I truly appreciate your help."

There were times when creatures simply had more pure emotions than humans, simply because Jon had helped them out, they naturally felt they had to repay Jon's kindness as much as they could.

The unicorn leader also rubbed Jon's face, showing its goodwill.

Jon didn't delay any longer, he looked at the time on his pocket watch one last time, there were just under ten minutes to go before the end of the first tournament task, and he now had to settle the problem of these dragons in the forbidden forest and finish the tournament in the process.

The expression on his face turned cold.

To be able to think of using the tournament to deal with him, there was no need to even guess who the mastermind behind this was, and the other party had no intention of hiding it at all because even if Jon managed to survive the siege of so many dragons in the end, he didn't have any tangible evidence.

The faulty golden snitch was inevitably nowhere to be found, and since they could instruct a Manticore to protect Emil, it was only natural that they could get another creature to handle the golden snitch's end of the line.

Even if everyone knew in their hearts who had done it, as long as they refused it, there would be nothing anyone could do.

There was no way the Triwizard Tournament would be suspended, nor would Jon be given any extra points for this, and even if he were, it would be useless, which is why they were so bold as to make such an obvious attack.

Jon had always felt that he was not a good person, otherwise, he wouldn't have followed Grindelwald to learn the killing curse and other dark magic, and now that he had suffered such a big loss, he would not simply swallow his anger and pretend that nothing had happened.

Since there was no way to deal with it through the normal rules, he would have to create some kind of accident!

The dragon riot was an accident, so it's normal for other accidents to happen, right?

Not only did Jon not want to swallow his anger, but he also wasn't even going to carry it beyond tonight!

He used his levitation charm and flew above the Forbidden Forest, and from where he was, he had an unobstructed view of the movements of all the dragons in the sky.

After the smell of dragon eggs had been removed from him, the four dragons that had previously surrounded him had all lost their initial targets and were now flying towards the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest.

There were still more than a dozen fire dragons roaming the night sky in that direction, and this larger group moved together over the Forbidden Forest like kites held together by a string.

They were clearly chasing Hoss, but Hoss's great speed gave them no way of judging their precise target, and they never attacked the ground as they flew through the sky.

He did not wait any longer and flew directly over the Forbidden Forest towards the general area where Hoss could be found.
