Chapter 1088 Hoofprints
As Matilda's gaze moved in the sky, he suddenly took a breath, and the whole person or the whole group of horses were stunned, as if they had seen all the horror contained in the starry sky, and Matilda's four feet were like nails. It seemed to be frozen, unable to move at all. He lowered his head and shook his head vigorously. The familiar environment called home and the blooming plants in summer seemed to have become poison in his eyes, and he raised his head again without giving up.
Heaps of fear gripped him—the stars in the sky were not where they should be.
A feeling of falling came over me, and Matilda woke up when he heard a familiar yet unfamiliar voice screaming in his ears. He felt his face was wet, and when he opened his eyes, he realized that he had fainted at some point Lie on the ground in the muddy water, and the strange starry sky and the decayed atmosphere in the air that he had just witnessed in his memory made the centaur chief full of vigilance and uneasiness.
Matilda quickly turned over and stood up with both hands and four horseshoes. He looked up at the sky again, but found that it was covered by thick fog and he couldn't see anything. Not being able to observe the stars made the centaur feel uncomfortable as if a part of his life had been cut off. In desperation, he had to focus on his eyes. At this time, he felt the stiffness of his limbs, but his attention was already gone. placed on the surrounding environment.
Different from the past, Matilda realized that something was wrong at the eerily silent centaur tribe gathering place not far away, and there were drag marks caused by horseshoes on the ground beside his tent, which seemed to be that the centaur was directly dragged into it by something. In the star lake next to him, he took a few steps towards the lake, but the sense of danger made him stop immediately.
The restless Matilda lifted up the door cloth of her tent and got in, only to find that the things in his house had been overturned on the ground. Instead, he directly removed the bow and arrow and spear that he hadn't used for a long time after he became the chieftain from the sundries.
With the courage brought by the weapon, Matilda began to try to call out to the tribe and walked towards the Star Lake, but did not get any response or discovery. He could only start to walk towards the gathering place of his own tribe, but with his horseshoe Not long after the sound was heard, he was trembling and unable to speak—the centaur tribe he had spent countless efforts to manage and was proud of had turned into ruins revealing corruption, and only the desolation that rushed towards him Earth and gray mists. The original verdant grasslands all withered and turned into a piece of scorched land, and the dim gray mist wandered in this withered and dead jungle.
Enduring grief, Matilda called out the names of her tribe in vain. Suddenly, the sound of hooves clicked and he paused. His gaze stayed on a mirror that he had trampled on. This mirror was the oldest in the tribe. The beloved darling of popular filly 'Pretty Ummie', a gift from a Hufflepuff witch who strayed into the Forbidden Forest after she secretly befriended her - even the old centaur Eun also turned a blind eye to this and didn't make irresponsible remarks to her.
Matilda picked up the mirror that had been trampled by him, but she saw something on her face in a daze. Matilda subconsciously brought the mirror closer to herself and carefully Checking, he was shocked to find that there seemed to be a sutured scar on his face, black and reptile-like, lying on his left cheek.
He was touching these scars and examining them carefully, when he suddenly found thin black lines appearing on his chin, forehead, and even on the back of his hands. These thin lines were spreading rapidly, and Matilda was so frightened that she looked in the mirror. Tossing back a few steps, I only felt my scalp go numb.
Matilda, whose mind was in confusion, was pulled back by the itchy scar,
The itching pain made his mane stand on end, and in a daze, he found that the scars on his hands seemed to have just stirred. He stretched out his right hand tremblingly close to the scar on his left arm.
But at this moment, the scar split open, revealing what was inside. What was inside was not flesh and blood, but an eyeball. The pale eyeball like a dead man was still rolling and staring at it in the muddy white of the eye. Matilda, and the feeling of other scars beginning to crack let him know it was still happening.
The tide of madness and pain enveloped Matilda, she jumped out of the mirror on the ground, cold sweat fell into her eyes, the tingling feeling instantly occupied her nerves, and her uneasy heart beat faster and faster ——but it disappeared in an instant, including his scar and the eyes in the scar.
These nightmarish scenes corroded Matilda's thinking, and his brain gradually became so confused that he felt like he was going to lose his mind and go crazy, but in the end, these emotions turned into despair, which made him unconsciously wander in this once extremely familiar tribe. wandering.
The sky above had completely dimmed, and shadows surrounded him, as if the light around them had been slowly sucked away, and as the light dimmed, the summer air became colder under the effect of thick fog.
After an unknown period of time, Matilda saw the figure of a centaur faintly revealed in the gray mist, like seeing an oasis in the desert, and Matilda, who was full of expectations, immediately stepped towards the centaur. Jump over with hooves.
But before she got close, Matilda froze in place in horror, her words of asking for help were choked in her throat and her heart ached unbearably. That was Ronan who had been with him for many years. Tilda could only recognize him from the ornaments and the remaining hair.
Afterwards, he tried to walk towards Hogwarts to ask for help, but he found that no matter how he turned, he couldn't get out of this forbidden forest, even though Hogwarts castle was not far away, even if he was in the nearest He even heard Auror conversations at times, but he just couldn't walk, couldn't get as far as his eyes could see, and a vague, unspeakable fear came over Matilda.
And as he walked, when he repeated the place he had just walked, he found that there were more corpses of other people on the ground, and he realized that he was trapped here, trapped in this completely dead world , a desolate world covered in dead ash, full of ruins and dead bodies.
Later, Matilda started to run towards Star Lake. He wanted to rely on the power of Star Lake to perform divination to find out what happened—he had already subconsciously ignored the fact that the sky was completely invisible Facts of the stars.
But Matilda ran to the Xinghu Lake next to her tent, and found in panic that in the lake that was still shimmering when he first left, now only a dry riverbed remained, and the entire water area disappeared without a trace. On the dry river bed, there are only many fish of different sizes that lived in it, just like the centaur chief at this time. The immediate predicament.
Suddenly, a fish on the river bed flew up towards the sky. Matilda just looked up, and more fish fell towards the sky.
The reason why it is said to be falling is because it seems that the sky and the earth have turned upside down. The sky that was originally the favorite of the horse people for divination of astrology is now occupied by a water area. Judging from the color of the lake, this water area has clearly disappeared without a trace. star lake.
Just when Mathil faced the terrifying spectacle of an existence that could not belong to this world at all, and began to tremble both mentally and physically, those raging torrents in the sky overwhelmingly began to press down.
It swept and swallowed the entire centaur tribe, and Matilda was also photographed in the water. The water pressure was not as strong as he had expected, but the pain that came from his body from time to time still made him use his hands to cover his face in vain. The sundries that were washed out around him hit his head.
After the water calmed down a bit, he who had already choked on a few sips of water and was rushed to the bottom of Xinghu Lake desperately paddled his six limbs, trying to get to the surface of the water. After finally emerging from the lake, Matilda lay on the shore of the lake and gasped violently for several seconds before she had the energy to observe the situation. The scenery on the lake was different from what she imagined, and it was the same one she saw when she just woke up. A desolate and fallen tribe of horsemen.
And not far from Matilda's tent, a living horse man with limbs stiff and paralyzed on the ground seemed to be in a coma.
Matilda judged that he was still alive from the heaving belly of the other party. He struggled to get up from the mud on the shore of the lake and approached the horse man, but as he approached, the familiar yet unfamiliar breath on the other party made him He became more and more disturbed and terrified, and finally these terrified things turned into reality—it was himself who fell unconscious on the ground in front of him.
Just when Matilda recognized himself, the scars that he had seen in the mirror before cracked out of thin air on the other party's body, and all of them opened involuntarily, and the pupils in those eyeballs all turned to stare at Matilda Da.
Then there was a loud noise from behind, and a huge mass of black, seemingly unstoppable surging matter rushed out of the star lake, and pieces of red light roared in it.
"Silently? Ah!!!"
As soon as Matilda, who had just recognized what it was, finished speaking, his voice turned into a scream, and he was instantly engulfed by the tentacles made of black mist by the thing in front of him, and began to drag him into the lake .
The black substance quickly engulfed his entire body, and Matilda stuck her hoof into the soil in an attempt to resist the struggle, but then realized that the hoofprints left by the centaur he saw being dragged into the black lake were He left it by himself, and the huge shock brought about by this made him lose his mind and forget to resist. In the end, he was engulfed and dragged by this black substance, and was instantly swallowed by the water of Star Lake. Matilda's face collapsed on the shore...
