"Roar—Hagel—"

A thunderous roar suddenly sounded in the Forbidden Forest, and then, with a heavy footstep of "Bang Bang", the two trees at the edge of the forest fell down with a bang.

Professor Sprout, who had just run to the lawn, turned around with Hermione, Luna, and Harry, only to see a huge figure running out of the Forbidden Forest.

That's Glopp!

Under his armpits, Hagrid, covered in gray, was held tightly by him, and followed him outside the Forbidden Forest.

"Giants? How so? Professor Sprout quickly raised his wand and shouted, "Hurry! Let go! Rupert! ”

"Wait—" Luna immediately stopped Sprout, "It's Hagrid's brother, his name is Glopp." ”

"What?"

Sprout, Hermione, and Harry all looked at Luna with indescribably complicated expressions on their faces.

"Hagrid's brother," Luna whispered, "Glopp." ”

"Uh......" Professor Sprout was stunned for a moment, then ran to Hagrid and Glopp with a puzzled expression, "Anyway, let's take a look at Ruber first—he doesn't look right." ”

However, Glopp apparently ignored their intentions, and saw him stumble and run in the direction of the gate on the other side. He remembered that when Hagrid brought him to Hogwarts, he had come in from there.

Of course, even if Glopp was going to stop and talk to them, they wouldn't have that time to spare.

Just as Professor Sprout was the first to run in the direction of Glopp, and Hermione and the others immediately followed, there was a sudden commotion at the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

Not only the bushes rattled, but even the ground made a slight and chaotic vibration.

The next moment, a large crowd of centaurs galloped out of the woods, like an array of medieval cavalry, and without looking back, surging in the direction of the opposite side of the lawn.

And right behind them were vast expanses of terrible monsters, rushing out of the Forbidden Forest in a haphazard manner.

That's right!

Except for "surge", there is no way to describe the terrifying number!

The monsters were big and small, and the biggest ones were no less than the lying down Glop, and the smallest was probably the size of a baby's fist.

They are all ink-colored, but under the sunlight, they can faintly distinguish a deep and miserable green.

They have black burrs all over their bodies, especially on their legs; However, in some parts far from the joints, most of them are covered with a layer of fine dark green scales.

They are Maca's first great achievement in bloodline transformation research - the Alienated Eight-Eyed Giant Spider!

"Turn back! Turn back now! Fast! ”

Before Hermione and the others could take a look, Professor Sprout immediately shouted. She couldn't help but scream, because she felt her skin tighten all over her after just one more look.

Sprout immediately remembered the events of the year the Chamber of Secrets was opened, and reacted quickly.

"You can't look at those spiders, they have the ability to petrify—"

As she spoke, the horsemen running behind her, as if afraid of being overtaken, turned around without paying attention, only to meet one of the eight-eyed spiders.

It didn't take long for the centaurs' movements to slow down, and their bodies were gradually turning gray and white.

Maybe it's because it's a little far away. Although Hermione and the others also subconsciously looked over there, there were too many eight-eyed giant spiders of different sizes, and before they could find a look, they were alerted by Professor Sprout's shouts.

"Professor!" Hermione screamed.

At a glance, she saw that Sprout's body was also covered with a faint gray, and it was deepening little by little, and even his movements were slowly becoming sluggish.

"Don't come here—"

With great difficulty, Sprout pulled out a bottle of potion and poured it into his mouth. But in a moment, the centaurs passed by her, followed by the eight-eyed spiders who quickly caught up with Click.

Having taken the potion, Sprout closed his eyes and sprinkled an unknown seed, then stretched out his wand and pointed it at his feet. In an instant, the seeds took root on the lawn, and they jumped up from the ground, and the thick and hard cyan vines enveloped her whole body.

The rest of the seeds spread out as well, wielding spiked rattans and whipping everything around them, trying to stop the terrifying eight-eyed spiders from advancing.

"Run! Leave me alone! Run! At the last minute, she didn't forget to remind Hermione loudly.

Those arm-thick tough rattans were indeed very powerful, but there were so many eight-eyed giant spiders that they only stopped a small part, and more spiders swept over the vines without hesitation, chasing them in the direction of Hermione.

"Let's go! We can't help it, Harry! Let's go! ”

Hermione dragged Harry, who was hesitating, and dragged him back. Beside them, Luna pulled something out of the pocket of her robe as she ran.

"Hermione, we have to do something!" Harry was still running, but his face was full of reluctance, "Professor Sprout is still behind, and in front of us is Hogwarts-"

"We can't do anything!" Hermione frowned, "There are too many of them, we have to rely on the castle to defend it, this is the best way......

"But—"

Harry's heart was restless, he hated his uselessness, he couldn't forgive himself.

Some time ago, he finally mustered up the courage to lift his spirits, but his strength still limited him, making him unable to do what he wanted to do and protect the people he wanted to protect.

Although he ran back to the Forbidden Forest today, he couldn't do anything. He just stood on the sidelines, acting as a feeble bystander the whole time.

He knew very well that Hermione was right, that he couldn't do anything at all.

But he didn't want to give up thinking, he thought that even if he couldn't think of any ideas, even if he couldn't do anything in the end, he couldn't give up thinking.

Because once he gives up this time, I'm afraid he really won't be able to stand up again.

They ran as hard as they could, and the castle kept zooming in and out of sight, as if within reach. But just such a distance, you can walk such a distance with a walk on weekdays, but at this moment it is as difficult to reach as if it is a distant horizon.

Behind them, the size of the eight-eyed spiders did not hinder their speed at all, and they still ran fast.

Even though Harry and the others were running with all their strength, their speed was still completely inferior to that of the giant spiders with eight hairy legs.

The dense clattering footsteps in their ears were clearly getting closer and closer, and there was some kind of foul fishy smell in their nostrils, and they didn't dare to look back.

Suddenly, Luna jerked what she was holding in her left hand into the air behind her, and then she deliberately avoided the big ones chasing behind her, and her eyes fell as far as possible to the gadget falling in the air in a parabola.

In the sunlight, the thing has some reflections, which is obviously not difficult to see.

"Broken bones!"

A spell flew out from the tip of her wand, faithfully carrying out her intentions, blowing the thing to pieces.

It was at that moment that a dazzling bright blue flame burst out in mid-air, forming a small piece of violently burning fire behind Luna and the others, and falling on the eight-eyed giant spiders who were crowded forward.

It was the vial that Maca had left her, and Hermione, who had used it, knew very well that it was incredibly powerful.

After blowing the flask to pieces, Luna turned back and continued to run. Behind her, the flowing scorching flames clung to the tainted eight-eyed spider, crackling.

"Oh-"

Hermione and Harry, who were running in front, suddenly heard an exclamation behind them, and Harry did not hesitate at all, and immediately stretched out his wand in the air.

"Close your eyes, Hermione!" He shouted, "Fluorescent flicker—maximize!" ”

It was nearly noon, and there was a blinding light in Harry's wand. The astonishingly bright ball of light shone almost brighter than the sun overhead, and the intensity of the light caused the three of them to close their eyes in unison.

But even so, the dazzling light still penetrated the eyelids, and even the eyes were closed, and a patch of orange and red could be seen.

The sun hanging high in the sky could be endured if you didn't look at it, but if this light exploded in front of your eyes, it would be very terrifying - the eight-eyed giant spiders, who had loved dark environments, suddenly rioted.

"Points—" Harry, who still had his eyes closed, opened his mouth again, only after a moment's hesitation, he gritted his teeth again, "The Sorting Hat is flying!" ”

Before he could finish speaking, a black shadow suddenly appeared from the window at the very top of the main castle behind Harry, and it fell towards him at a very fast speed, and it only took a few seconds for it to fall into his outstretched hand.

He extinguished the dazzling light at the tip of his staff, and immediately reached into his hat, gripping the cold hilt of his sword with a firm expression.

The Gryffindor sword was silently drawn from it, and the mirror-like pure silver blade reflected the sunlight and looked brilliant. And the huge ruby set on the hilt of the sword was faintly glowing with a red glow like fire.

Harry opened his eyes to see Luna, who had been pounced on by the eight-eyed spider, and a huge silver-white eagle with its wings outstretched to guard her.

Luna seemed to be trying to get up, and it seemed that she was indeed injured, but Harry's timely glow spell and the eagle Patronus protected her almost simultaneously.

“…… Maca? ”

Harry sword Gryffindor in hand, and sprinted decisively towards Luna. From a distance, the bright sword body shone on the lawn, drawing a bright band of light.
