Chapter 298: To save or not to save

Evan quickly found a knack for riding a Hippogriff, which he could hold firmly to as long as he clamped his heels between the two sides of Buckbeak's flanks. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Massive wings flicked beside him, and he tried to let go of the hands that wrapped around Buckbeek's neck.

Apart from a slight coma that arose from time to time, there was no other discomfort.

On the contrary, he felt that he was becoming more and more adapted.

Compared to the broomstick, which is difficult to master, he is better suited for high-altitude flying with Hippogriffs.

They followed the air flow and entered the Forbidden Forest from the air.

Passing through the clouds beneath his feet, Aven saw a large expanse of 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, the feeling is completely different. Observing the Forbidden Forest from top to bottom up close, the continuous trees with no edges in sight, and the towering ancient trees can make people feel even more shocked and immersed in the greatness of nature.

However, before Evan could take a good look, the trees in front of him began to become thin, as if someone had dug up a piece of it.

The trunk of the tree is gradually turning an unhealthy gray, and this is the territory of the eight-eyed giant spider.

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

Evan hurriedly bent down and lay on top of Buckbeak.

Click, click......

After discovering that the intruder was nothing more than a Hippogriff, the eight-eyed spiders on guard slowly retreated and hid in the darkness again.

As a relatively common species in the Forbidden Forest, although it is rare for a Hippogriff to break into the territory of the eight-eyed giant spider, it is not absolute.

They didn't spot Aven sitting on Buckbeak's back, and they didn't notify Aragog and the other eight-eyed spiders to defend themselves.

Relying on Buckbeak, Evan was able to infiltrate without being detected, and his plan succeeded.

They flew towards the center of the Eight-Eyed Spider's territory, and Evan poked his head out to take advantage of the wave of Buckbeak's wings to take a closer look at Aragog's lair.

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

As we go deeper, the scenery in front of you becomes more and more shocking.

It was completely different from the last time he came, in the core of the Eight-Eyed Giant Spider's territory, it was already difficult to see the trees on the ground, as if they had been swept away by a tornado and corroded by something, and even the soil had turned dark gray, revealing a few hints of red intermittently.

White cobwebs, animal bones, and traces of destruction can be seen everywhere, and looking down from the sky, the depression of Alagog's lair is deeply sunken deep into the earth's surface, filled with irregular folds and ravines, which looks extremely strange.

The thick foliage was no longer visible on the ground, and the charred black, dull mud and sand seemed to have a film on the surface.

Even at hundreds of feet, the air could still smell the smell of leaves, dirt, and raw meat being burnt, as well as the thick smell of blood......

The most striking thing is the huge hemispherical spider web at the entrance to the nest.

It looked bigger than ever, densely packed with dead bodies of various animals.

In it, Evan even saw the corpse of a centaur!

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

Inside the nest, a faint, milky white mist emerges from it from time to time, like a volcanic crater, looming to blow the smell of blood throughout the hollow.

The sight was terrifying, and the fire that Aven had fired a few months ago seemed to have opened a door to hell.

Now Aragog has fallen, and instead of restraining its children and grandchildren, it has succumbed to instinct and has become a dark creature that knows only how to kill.

Even worse, its ferocity upsets the balance between Hogwarts and the Forbidden Forest.

The revenge of the eight-eyed giant spider has almost made this place a purgatory on earth.

The actual situation is worse than the information obtained by the centaurs, and the eight-eyed spider must be stopped from wreaking havoc as soon as possible, and Aragog must be eliminated.

In addition to the corpses everywhere, what worried Evan even more was the smell of black magic that he felt from the mist wafting from the lair of Aragog.

Dark magic, could it be Voldemort?!

Evan shook his head, with his own understanding of Voldemort, it was not that the other party could not use evil black magic to control, influence, and transform the eight-eyed giant spider, but with the time to cast these spells, he might be more inclined to use the killing curse to directly deal with the enemy.

In Dumbledore's words, Voldemort despised life and feared death more, which was his greatest weakness.

He believes that death is the greatest fear for all people.

The Killing Curse was Voldemort's favorite spell, not other complex, evil dark arts.

It won't be Voldemort who leaves behind this dark magic. What's more, it is impossible for him to get close to Hogwarts now.

If not Voldemort, who would it be?!

Evan thought that the unknown existence that might be hiding in the Lair of Aragog was only his guess. He couldn't tell why, he felt like he should know more and more important information, but he couldn't think of anything......

Just as those corpses were obscured by the misty fog in front of them, those dreams that had been forgotten by oneself seemed to be related to this place.

Evan couldn't remember the dreams, but the sight alone was enough to inform Dumbledore to deal with the eight-eyed spiders.

Buckbeak and Evan flew around Aragog's lair a few more times, and after Evan had made a note of where most of the Eight-Eyed Spiders were hiding, they began to return to the castle.

Just then, Evan saw a team of eight-eyed spiders approaching the center.

Because there were no trees to obstruct him, he could see very clearly that the team consisted of twelve or three eight-eyed giant spiders, and the leader spider was obviously much larger than its companion. Behind it, several spiders dragged three young wizards in Hogwarts uniforms, Malfoy, Goyle, and Crabbe.

"Damn, what are these three guys up to!" Evan was startled and slipped on Buckbeak's back.

Malfoy and the three of them didn't stay in the castle well, how could they be caught by the eight-eyed giant spider?!

What now?

This is a joke, in addition to not seeing Aragog, Evan found that the number of eight-eyed giant spiders hiding nearby would definitely not be less than a hundred. Once they are alarmed by fighting, the consequences are absolutely unimaginable.

What's more, no matter how you look at it, there is no reason for Evan to risk his life to save Malfoy.

Put yourself in his shoes, if his life is in danger, Malfoy will already be a conscience if he does not fall into the well, and it is impossible to save him.

If they left it alone or went back to inform the others, then from what had been observed so far, it wouldn't take long for the three of Malfoy and the other to become the new treasure on top of that huge spider web.

Evan was sure that he wouldn't be upset if he heard that Malfoy was dead.

But witnessing Malfoy die in front of him was a different feeling entirely. (To be continued.) )
