Harry Potter’s Book of Sin
Chapter 417: Seeing Aragog Again
() Facts have proved that Harry's recent state is not good.Or in other words, when he picked up the Gryffindor sword this time, the courage in his heart had not reached the level he had when he faced the fire dragon.
The source of courage in everyone's heart is very different.And Harry's courage is more derived from faith.
When he felt that his confidence was insufficient, his conviction would also decline, so that the recognition of him by the Gryffindor sword became ambiguous at the same time.
And without the tacit support of the Gryffindor sword, even if the blade of the sword is still extremely sharp, but if it can't be used handily, it is just an ordinary sword.
Harry, who rushed to Luna's side, only swung his sword and chopped off one of the legs of a certain eight-eyed giant spider.
However, at this moment, a figure flew quickly from the direction of the school gate.
"Maca!"
Amidst Hermione's shouts, Maca, who was stepping on the magic book and holding a long-handled staff, slid towards them, and stopped steadily not far above their heads.
"Harry, good job!" He said quickly, "Now, go back to the castle!"
Before he finished his words, the staff in his hand suddenly surged with a burst of blue and white brilliance, as his arm swayed across his body in a semicircle.
Suddenly, a seemingly thin, but extremely low-temperature cold breath spread silently, freezing the surrounding large number of eight-eyed giant spiders and slowing their movements.
In the next second, Maca's staff slammed toward the castle, and a cloud of white frosty air immediately rushed toward the castle along the line he pointed.
Where the group of cold air passed, whether it was the eight-eyed giant spider just on the way or the neatly manicured lawn, it was covered with a layer of crystal clear frost.
"Hurry up, I will take care of the rest." Maca urged again.
"Maca, Professor Sprout is still in front—" Hermione reminded him as she lifted Harry up, "She wrapped herself in a vine, it shouldn't be difficult to find!"
"Got it." Maca nodded immediately.
When Hermione, Harry and Luna supported each other and ran back, and quickly opened the gate of the castle, Maca, who was escorting them all the way, turned around and headed towards the Forbidden Forest at an astonishing speed. Fly away.
"Aragok!"
The shout with the sound reinforcement curse was transmitted like thunder in the forbidden forest. The volume was so loud that even the leaves tremble slightly.
Maca flew along the way, and apart from the strong vines that were still intact, no other teachers and students were seen.It seems that when the incident happened, it happened to be still in class. This can only be said to be a blessing in misfortune.
However, the current school courtyard has been occupied by a terrifying number of eight-eyed giant spiders, even Maca can't help but sigh - these spiders are too capable of reproduction.
In fact, if he hadn't changed the bloodline for Aragog, the survival rate of newborn spiders would rise sharply, it would not have become so terrifying.Even though the eight-eyed giant spider is an extremely dangerous species of the "XXXXX" level of the magic part, they are also vulnerable when they are just born.
The spiders in front became denser. He easily turned over the pair of light green lens glasses he had made and put them on the bridge of his nose. Then he took out a bottle of anti-petrification potion and poured it into his mouth.
"Aragok!" Macka plugged the cork and continued to shout loudly.
While shouting, he casually pushed away the eight-eyed giant spider he encountered on the road, and moved forward without hesitation.He didn't expend unnecessary effort to wipe out these fierce big guys, because he had to find Aragok first.
The eight-eyed giant spider is a species with a considerable length of wisdom. Although their rationality sometimes loses to the instinct to kill, they also have the instinct to follow the orders of the chief.
Maca kept advancing into the depths of the forbidden forest, and the new lair after Aragog's migration was at the foot of the mountains in the deepest part of the forbidden forest.
As he quickly went deep into the dense forest, the surrounding trees appeared to be thicker and taller, and the size of the eight-eyed giant spider seen on the road also changed every moment.
The large adult eight-eyed giant spiders are one or two laps larger than those on the periphery of the forest. The number is not much, but they are only compared with the normal size; some of the small juvenile eight-eyed giant spiders are only The size of a fingernail, but the number is terrifying.
The individual differences among these spiders have become bigger and bigger.
"If you stay here for a long time, you might get dense phobia..." Maca twisted his shoulders, muttering uncomfortably.
Before long, Maca, who was moving fast in the woods, finally saw a huge cave on the slope of the mountain wall.And at the entrance of the cave, countless spiders are pouring out of it densely, and most of them are young spiders too small.
"Aragog!" Maca stood at the entrance of the cave, and the cold that filled his body made the spiders rush away to avoid being frozen. "Aren't you planning to come out?"
His voice quickly poured into the cave, and the sound wave vibrated in it, causing another commotion among the spiders and spiders.
After a while, Maca found that the spiders gushing out of the cave suddenly increased, and then, from the depths of the dark cave, three giant creatures clattered out.
These three are obviously the largest eight-eyed giant spiders Maca has seen today. He even felt that none of these three was smaller than Aragog...
No, maybe even bigger!
"...Are you three of the first batch?" Maca couldn't help thinking as he watched these three big guys rush to him quickly, pushing the glasses on the bridge of his nose.
If you look at the size, it should be correct-the little guys he raised are also about the same size.If it hadn't been for leaving all those little darlings in the United States this time, he really wanted to release them all and meet these brothers and sisters in front of him!
"...McLean...Mr...?"
When the three big guys stood still in front of him, one of them immediately spoke.
"That's right." Maca nodded.
"Father...in it..." Big Spider said intermittently, "Please... go in..."
"Then go!" Maca waved his hand immediately.
The three big spiders stared at him again and looked around, then turned around and walked in front, decently leading the way for Maca.
Maca stood on the magic book, floating behind them, the staff in his hand exuded a faint fluorescence, illuminating the dark cave a little bit.
The terrain of this new lair in Aragok is quite complicated. Although it gets narrower as it goes inside, let alone Maca, even these big spiders can move smoothly. The word "narrow" is only relative. That's it.
On the way, Maca saw a lot of forked holes of different sizes, each extending to a different crypt.The cave wall is uneven, and it looks like a natural underground cave.A large number of stalagmites interlaced with fangs on both sides of the cave, looking like the sharp horns of a demon in the dim environment, making people feel cool.
In the process of deepening quickly, Maca found that the surrounding air was also carrying a thin layer of moisture, and perhaps there was underground water in the deeper part.
After walking with the three big guys for more than ten minutes, the surrounding terrain suddenly became spacious.
Don't even look at it for more than ten minutes. In fact, the three big spiders are walking very fast, and they are constantly advancing along the sloping down passage. Maca feels that he may have come to quite deep underground.
In fact, in this cave, there were still many large and small spiders crawling around at first.But as it gets deeper into it, the number of spiders is also drastically reduced, and there are almost no small spiders here.
"...Ah...it's McLean's smell...long time no see..."
In the depths of the deep and dark cave, an old voice suddenly sounded, echoing around.
"Aragok?" Maca easily increased the fluorescence on the staff to see what's inside. "It's really been a long time since I've seen it... You should be very clear about my purpose, right?"
As the light was shining, he immediately saw the giant spider lying at the very end of this large cave.Although his size here is not so conspicuous anymore, Maca can still recognize him at a glance.
Because Aragok was alienated through direct bloodline transformation, there are still traces of the past on the outside, making Aragok's appearance more calm.
"Yes... I understand." Aragog sighed slightly, "I'm sorry for this."
"What nonsense with him? Don't hurry up and petrify him!"
Maca didn't continue to ask questions, but heard a voice from behind Aragok, with a slight complacency in his tone.
"I don't have the need to follow your orders." Aragok said lightly.
"you--"
The voice suddenly became angry, but he obviously quickly put this unpleasantness aside.
"Professor McLean, I've heard a lot of your deeds a long time ago—" the voice said briskly, "Aren't you very good? Humph, no matter how good you are, can you still deal with so many mutant spiders?"
"Sokaradis?" Maca said calmly.
"Sokas! Call me Sokas!" the other party said fiercely, "Don't call me by that name! Understand?"
Macka paused, seeing that he had no intention of coming out from behind Aragok, he turned his gaze back to Aragok.
"Let's talk! What is the reason for stepping out of the Forbidden Forest?" He asked Aragok.
"Hmm..." Aragok groaned for a while, and then slowly said, "My children have become stronger, so they have also grown, and there is not enough food... This is the most direct and important reason. "
"It makes sense," Maca frowned and nodded, but then asked immediately, "But, we've discussed this a long time ago? I remember reminding you that you sent your child to me Right?"
