Fang Ze's words made Ron more and more unconvinced, Harry and Dumbledore.

It's all because of that damn prophecy.

Ron thought resentfully.

If he had been a child of prophecy, he might have become a savior praised by people by now.

But in the end, life still has to go on, although Ron and Harry's relationship is now at a low point, but both of them have a common goal, which is to find the cause of the petrification of the people in the school and clear the suspicion of the two of them.

But this is not an easy task, because there are two clues about being petrified, one is the origin of Ron's magic spell, and the other is the Parseltongue.

But both Ron and Harry were sure that they didn't use any means to attack their classmates, not to mention the man who was attacked and their good friend Hermione.

Fortunately, it wasn't long before Harry found a clue that Hagrid had once raised a large spider.

Harry didn't say where he learned about Hagrid's suspicion of being the real culprit in the petrification case because of his spider breeding, and Ron didn't bother to ask him.

After all, Ron could have guessed without a brain now that Dumbledore must be helping Harry after the end, and there was only one unreliable businessman behind Ron.

The gap is just too big.

Ever since Ron had finished talking to Fonzer, he had been thinking about taking more of Harry's brilliance.

Now there is not much difference between him and Harry, both of them have been involved in the protection of the Philosopher's Stone, and now both are suspected of being the real culprits in the student petrification case.

So, as long as Ron gets ahead of Harry and reveals the truth, then he will replace Harry as the new hero.

Dumbledore might have tried to develop himself instead.

Ron's fantasy.

During the night, Harry and Ron waited for two distant rings of dormitory doors closing before grabbing the Cloak of Invisibility, draping it over their bodies, and crawling out of the Portrait Cave.

The journey through the castle was also difficult, and I had to avoid the teacher in every possible way. At last they reached the foyer, slipped behind the locks of the two oak doors, squeezed through the cracks, trying not to squeak, and came out onto the moonlit field.

"How," said Ron suddenly as they strode through the swarthy meadow, "we may not be able to follow anything when we get to the woods." Those spiders probably didn't even get there. I know they seemed to be moving in that direction at the time, but.."

He didn't say any more, leaving Harry with a little hope.

They came to Hagrid's hut and looked sadly and sadly at the black windows. Harry pushed the door open, and Tooth was overjoyed when he saw them. Fearing that its low, deep bark would wake the people in the castle, they quickly took butterfat fudge from a can on the mantelpiece and gave it food, sticking its teeth.

Harry placed the Cloak of Invisibility on Hagrid's desk. You don't need it in the dark woods.

"Come on, Yaya, let's go for a walk. Harry said, patting it on the back of the leg. Tooth happily followed them out of the hut, running toward the edge of the woods, and crossed his leg beside a large Sikmo fig tree.

Harry pulled out his wand and muttered, "Fluorescent flicker!" A thin beam of light came out of the wand's head, just enough for them to see if there were spiders on the road.

They entered the woods, fangs running around them, sniffing the roots and leaves along the way. By the light of Harry's wand, they followed the spiders that kept crawling along the path. After walking for about twenty minutes, no one spoke, but listened carefully to see if there was anything other than the breaking of branches and the rustling of leaves. Then, the trees grew thicker and thicker, and the stars overhead were no longer visible. Harry's wand shimmered alone in the endless darkness when they noticed that the spider guides had strayed from the path.

Harry paused, trying to see where the spider was moving, but beyond the glimmer of light was darkness that could not be seen. He had never been so deep in the middle of the woods before. He vividly recalled the last time he had entered the woods, Hagrid had warned him not to stray from the forest path. But Hagrid was a long way away, probably sitting in Azkaban's cell, and he had said he was going to follow the spider.

Something touched Harry's hand, and he jerked backwards and stepped on Ron's foot, which turned out to be just a toothy nose.

"What do you think?" Harry said to Ron. He had just been able to make out Ron's eyes, pupils reflecting the glimmer of his wand.

"We've come so far. Ron said.

So, they followed the shadow of the spider into the trees. They couldn't go fast now, and there were roots and stumps everywhere, blocking the way, barely visible in the near-pitch light. Harry could feel his teeth breathing hot on his hands. They were forced to stop on more than one occasion, and Harry crouched down, looking for spiders by the light of his wand.

It seemed that they had been walking for at least half an hour, and their clothes were often hung by low branches and thorny vines. After a while, they noticed that the ground seemed to be sloping downward, even though the trees were still as dense as before.

At that moment, Tooth suddenly let out a loud bark that echoed through the woods, scaring both Harry and Ron out of their bodies.

"What?" Ron exclaimed, glancing into the darkness as he grabbed Harry's elbow hard.

"There's something moving there," Harry gasped, "listen... Like a big guy. ”

They listened carefully. Some distance to their right, the big thing was carving a way out of the bushes, breaking countless branches.

They stood there, waiting in horror, the darkness seemed to oppress their eyeballs. Suddenly there was a rumbling sound, and then silence returned.

"What do you think it's doing?" Harry asked.

"Probably ready to pounce. Ron said as he pulled his wand out of his sleeve, ready to cast his blade.

"Do you think it's gone?" Harry asked in a whisper.

"I don't know. Ron said as he looked around warily.

At this moment, to their right, a dazzling light suddenly lit up, dazzling in the darkness, and both of them raised their hands to block their eyes. Tooth roared and tried to escape, but was tripped by a thorn and screamed even louder.

"Harry!" Ron shouted, his voice choked with relief, "Harry, it's our car!"

"What?" Come on!"

Harry followed Ron and stumbled towards the light, tripping along the way. A moment later, they came to a clearing.

Mr. Weasley's car was parked in the middle of a dense circle of trees, topped by dense foliage, empty and shiningly glowing from its headlights. As Ron walked towards it with his mouth wide open, it slowly moved towards him, like a large turquoise dog greeting its owner.

"So it's been here all along!" Ron said happily, walking around the car. "Look at it, the woods have made it wild. ''The wings of the car were scratched and covered with mud. Apparently it formed the habit of moving alone in the woods. Tooth didn't seem interested in it in the slightest, and it followed Harry without a single step. Harry could feel it shivering. Harry's breathing slowed down again, and he withdrew his wand into his robes.

"We thought it was going to attack us!" Ron said, leaning against the car and patting it. "I never knew where it went!"

Harry narrowed his eyes and continued to search for the spiders on the lighted ground, but they all scrambled away from the glare of the headlights and ran away. "We're gone. He said, "Come, let's go find the spider." Ron didn't say alive and didn't move. His eyes were fixed on Harry's back, ten feet above the ground. His face was pale, and fear was written vividly.

Harry didn't even have time to turn around. He heard a loud click, and suddenly he felt a long, furry thing grab him by the waist, and hang him face down in the air. He struggled, terrified, and then heard a click, and he saw Ron's legs off the ground, and he saw the teeth whining and growling, and then he was dragged into the dark bushes.

Harry's head hung upside down, and he saw that the guy who had grabbed him was riding on six strangely long, thick-haired legs, and two more legs in front of him clamped tightly, and on top of them were a pair of large, shiny black stings. Behind him, he could hear another such animal, apparently holding Ron. They are moving towards the center of the woods. Harry heard the teeth whining and was desperately trying to break free from the third monster, but Harry couldn't scream even if he wanted to, and he seemed to leave his voice in the clearing, along with the car.

He didn't know how long he had been in the animal's claws, only that the darkness seemed to have subsided a little, and he saw that the ground was now densely covered with fallen leaves, and there were spiders now. He twisted his neck and found that they had come to the edge of a wide hollow, the hollow of trees cleared, and the stars illuminated the most terrible sight he had ever seen in his life.

Spider. Not like the little spiders that crawled through the fallen leaves below, but each one the size of a horse pulling a cart, with eight eyes and eight legs, black and hairy, like a behemoth. The giant spider carrying Harry descended the steep slope towards a misty, hemispherical web in the middle of the hollow, surrounded by its companions. When they saw what it was clamping onto, they all moved their claws excitedly, making a clicking sound.

The spider let go of its claws, and Harry fell to the ground. Ron and Tooth fell hard beside him. Tooth no longer growled, but curled up silently. Ron looked and felt exactly like Harry. His mouth was wide and seemed to be screaming silently, and his eyes were bulging outward. Harry suddenly realized that the spider that had thrown him away was talking. It's not easy to hear, because it has to click and fiddle with its big claws with every word it says.

"Aragog!" It shouted, "Aragog!"

From the middle of the misty, hemispherical webs, a spider the size of a small elephant emerged very slowly. Its body and legs were black and gray, and each eye on its ugly head with large claws was covered with a layer of white. It's a blind man.

"What's going on?" It said, click, click, two large claws moving rapidly.

"People. Said the spider who had caught Harry just now.

"Is it Hagrid?" Aragog said, moving closer, eight milky eyes staring blankly.

"It's a stranger. The spider who brought Ron with him clicked.

"Kill them," Click-Click-Click, Aragog said irritably. "I'm sleeping.."" We were friends with Hagrid. Harry shouted. His heart seemed to leave his chest and jump out of his throat.

Click, click, click, the hollows are full of spiders' claws moving. Aragog hesitated.

"Hagrid never sent anyone to our hollows before. It said slowly. "Hagrid is in trouble," Harry said, breathing very hard, "that's why we're here." "Trouble?" The old spider said. Harry felt that he heard some concern in the clattering clatter. "But why did he send you?"

Harry tried to stand up, but then decided to lie on his stomach, believing that his legs couldn't support the weight of his body. He lay on the ground and spoke, speaking as calmly as he could. "At school, they think Hagrid has recently released one, one, something to harm the students. They took him to Azkaban. ”

Click, click, Aragog danced his claws in rage, and the sound was echoed by the swarm of spiders in the hollow, like applause, except that the usual applause would not make Harry gag with fear.

"But that was many years ago," Aragog said angrily, "many, many years ago." I remember it well. It was because of this that they let him out of school at that time. They believed I was the monster who lived in what they called a secret room. They thought Hagrid had opened the chamber and released me. "Then you... You didn't come out of the back room?" Harry asked, feeling a cold sweat break out on his head.

"Me!" Aragog said, claw clicking angrily, "I wasn't born in a castle. I come from a faraway country. Before I hatched from the egg, a traveler gave me to Hagrid. Hagrid was just a child, but he took care of me, hid me in a cupboard in the castle, and fed me the crumbs that I had taken away from the table. Hagrid is a good friend of mine, he's a good guy. When people found me and asked me to take responsibility for the death of a girl, he was the one who protected me. I've lived in the woods ever since, and Hagrid often visits me.

He even got me a wife, Mosag. You can see how prosperous our family is, and it's all thanks to Hagrid."

Harry mustered up what little courage he had left. "So you never?? Never attacked anyone?" No," said the old spider resentfully, "I have this instinct, but out of respect for Hagrid, I have never hurt a person. The body of the murdered girl was found in a bathroom. And I've never seen any part of the castle except the cupboards I grew up in. We spiders love darkness and silence..''" But at the time. . . Do you know what killed that girl?" Harry said, "Because whatever it is, and now it's back attacking people??"

"The guy who lives in the castle," said Aragog, "is an ancient creature that we spiders fear the most." I remember vividly that when I felt the beast moving around the school, I begged Hagrid to let me go. ”

"What is it?" Harry asked urgently. The clatter was louder, the plugged was getting denser, and the spiders seemed to be congregating. "We don't say it!" "We don't name it!" Aragog said with a fierce emotion, "I didn't even tell Hagrid the name of that terrible creature, though he asked me many times." ”

Harry didn't want to be pressed on the subject, especially with the spiders gathering from all directions. Aragog didn't seem to want to speak. It slowly retreated into his hemispherical web, but his spider companions were still moving slowly, inch by inch, towards Harry and Ron.

"Then we're leaving. Harry shouted desperately to Aragog as he heard the trees rustle behind him. "Let's go?" Aragog said leisurely, "I don't think to.."" But, but," "My sons and daughters obeyed my commands, and did no harm to Hagrid." But fresh human flesh is automatically delivered to the door, and I can't stop them from enjoying it. Farewell, Hagrid's friend."

Aragog's words terrified Harry and Ron, who never imagined that seeing a Hagrid friend would cost them their lives.

Ron has a wand in his hand, and at the same time, he will also be powerful in the dark arts, but the dense cobwebs Ron has reached fear and powerlessness, no matter how powerful he is, it is difficult to deal with so many spiders at once.

"Boy, do you want a deal?" Fang Ze's voice suddenly appeared in Ron's mind.

"Yes, whatever it takes, please help me get these spiders out now. Ron shouted at Fonze.

"If you think about it, the price can be so high that you're going to pay a terrible price. Fang Ze said.

"It's better than losing your life now!" Ron shouted in his head.

"Then the deal is done. Fang Ze said.

A large amount of knowledge flowed into Ron's mind like a tidal wave, because there were so many kinds of knowledge such as magic spells contained in it, so Ron had a feeling that his brain was about to explode.

Because Ron is so young now, even if he learns many magic spells, his strength will definitely not be as good as those adult magicians, let alone solve so many spiders.

Therefore, Fang Ze directly injected a drop of demigod-level snake demon's essence blood that had been exchanged from the Eight Million Fairy World into Ron's body, helping Ron enhance his physical fitness, so that he could have the ability to receive a huge amount of knowledge at one time.

But what Fang Ze didn't expect was that after Ron absorbed the snake's blood, his body began to mutate rapidly.
