Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Ivan quickly found a tip for riding a hippocampus, which can be securely secured by clamping the two Buckbeak threats with his heel.

Huge wings waved beside him, and he tried to loosen his hands around Buckbeak's neck.

Apart from the slight feeling of coma that rises from time to time, there are no more discomforts.

Instead, he feels himself getting used to it.

He is better suited to flying at high altitude using a hippocampus than a flying broom that is difficult to grasp.

They followed the airflow into the forbidden forest from the air.

Through the clouds beneath his feet, Ivan sees large trees.

The view in front of him, he had seen it countless times before at the top of the castle. But because of the different angles, it feels completely different. Close up and down to observe forbidden forests, contiguous and invisible trees, tall ancient trees in the clouds, can be more shocking and immersed in the greatness of nature.

But before Evan could really appreciate it, the tree in front of him began to thin out, as if it had been dug out alive.

The colors of the trunk gradually appear unhealthy gray, which is the territory of the octave spider.

In the corner, several eight-eyed giant spiders slowly climbed out of the hidden shadow, watching vigilantly the unannounced visitors over the territory.

Ivan hurriedly bent over and lay down on Buckbeak.

ka-da, ka-da...

After discovering that the intruder was only a hippogriff, the vigilant octave spiders slowly retreated back and hid again in the dark.

As a more common species in forbidden forests, although few hippocampus invade the territory of the octopus giant spider, it is also not absolute.

They did not find Ivan sitting on Buckbeak's back, nor did they inform Aragok and the other eight-eyed giant spiders to defend themselves.

With Buckbeak, Ivan wasn't spotted sneaking in, and his plan worked.

They flew towards the center of the octavean spider territory, and Ivan probed his head and watched Aragok's lair carefully as Buckbeak waved the gap between his wings.

He hasn't been here since a big fire a few months ago.

As we go deeper and deeper, the scenery in front of us becomes more and more startling.

Unlike the last time he came here, in the heart of the eight-eyed giant spider territory, it was already difficult to see trees on the ground, as if swept by a tornado, and corroded by something, even the soil turned dark gray, intermittently revealing a few traces of red.

White spider webs, animal skeletons, marks of destruction are everywhere. Looking down from the sky, Aragok's nest area is deeply recessed deep into the surface, and irregular folds and trenches are filled with them, which look incredibly bizarre.

Thick leaves are no longer visible on the ground, and scorched black, shimmerless mud sand appears to have a film on the surface.

Even at hundreds of feet of altitude, the smell of leaves, dirt and raw meat burning, and thick smell of blood can still be smelled in the air...

Most notable is the nest entrance, the giant hemispherical spiderweb.

It looks huge at all times, with dense and numb dead bodies of all kinds of animals.

In it, Ivan even saw the body of a horseman!

He was placed in the most prominent position and appears to be demonstrating against the intruders.

Nest * *, faint, milky fog from time to time emerges from inside, as if it were a volcanic mouth, hidden from blowing the bloody smell all over the concave ground.

The scene in front of us is terrible, and the fire that Ivan had a few months ago seemed to open a door to hell.

Aragok is now corrupt, not restraining his descendants, but subordinating to instincts and becoming a dark creature that knows only to kill.

Even worse, its ferocity undermines the balance that Hogwarts and forbidden forests deserve.

The revenge of the octave spider almost made this place purgatory.

The situation was worse than what the Horsemen had discovered, and the Octopus must be stopped as soon as possible, and Aragok must be eliminated.

What worries Ivan more than the carcasses he sees everywhere is that he feels a hint of black magic in the fog coming out of Aragoch's nest * *.

Black magic, could it be Voldemort?!

Ivan shook his head and with his knowledge of Voldemort, the other party was not unable to use evil dark magic to control, influence, and transform the octavean spider, but with time to cast these magic, he might prefer to use a killing spell to directly solve the enemy.

In Dumbledore's words, Voldemort despises life and fears death, which is his greatest weakness.

As a man of his own, he believed that death was the greatest fear for all.

Killing spells are Voldemort's favorite spells, not other sophisticated, sinister dark spells.

It is not Voldemort who leaves this dark magic behind. Moreover, it is now impossible for him to get near Hogwarts.

If it wasn't Voldemort, who would it be?!

Ivan thought of that unknown possibility of hiding in Aragok's lair, which was just his guess. Can't explain why, he feels he should know more and more important information, but can't remember...

Just as the bodies are obscured by the fog in front of them, the dreams that have been forgotten by themselves seem to relate here.

Ivan can't remember those dreams, but in any case, the sight in front of Dumbledore is enough to get him to come out and deal with these octave spiders.

Buckbeak flew a few more laps around Aragok's lair with Ivan, and they started returning to the castle after Ivan wrote down most of the eight-eyed giant spider caches.

That's when Ivan saw a team of eight-eyed giant spiders approaching the center.

Because there was no tree cover, he saw it particularly clearly, and the team consisted of twelve or three octave giant spiders, which were clearly much larger than their companions. Behind it, several spiders dragged three little wizards in Hogwarts uniform robes, three Malfoy, Gore and Krab.

“Damn, what are these three guys doing!” Ivan slipped on Buckbeak's back in shock.

Malfoy, how could the three of them be caught by an octopus spider while they were in the castle?

What should I do now?

Get down there and save Malfoy? This is a joke, and apart from not seeing Aragok, Evan found that the number of octopus spiders hidden nearby would never be less than a hundred. Once the fighting startles them, the consequences are absolutely unthinkable.

Besides, from either point of view, Ivan had no reason to risk saving Malfoy.

Think about it, if his life was in danger, Malfoy would have found it in his conscience, much less could have saved him.

If you let it go, leave or go back and notify the others, then from what we've seen so far, it won't take a few minutes for Malfoy's three of them to become a new treasure on that giant web of spiders.

Ivan can be sure that if he hears Malfoy is dead, he won't feel sorry for himself.

But seeing Malfoy die in front of himself is a completely different feeling.
