Chapter 155: From the Heart, Listen to Your Inner Voice
The eight-eyed spider is a giant spider similar to a horse, and they live mainly in the deep rainforests of southeastern Asia, especially deep in the dense jungles of Kalimantan (aka Borneo).
Like the basilisk, the eight-eyed spider is a magical creature created by wizards.
At an unknown point in time, it was created by an unknown mad wizard, and the exact date of its birth is no longer verifiable.
But at the very least, when Rubeus Hagrid enrolled in school in 1940, the eight-eyed spider already existed, and it was already a full-fledged species.
It's just that at that time, the wizarding world had not yet issued the "Law on the Prohibition of Animal Breeding Experiments", and most wizards did not know much about this creature and did not know how ferocious they were.
Judging by the habitat of the eight-eyed spider, it is possible that some wizard from southern Asia invented them.
The main reason why people think that these dangerous creatures were bred by wizards is because their intelligence is completely inferior to that of naturally generated magical animals, such as Kaba, Red Hat, or Hinkpunk.
Compared to these creatures, the intelligence of the eight-eyed spiders can be said to be quite amazing, and they are no less than an adult wizard.
And, unlike the little spiders that crawled through the fallen leaves below, the eight-eyed spiders were at least fifteen feet long, and they were cruel by nature to grip their prey with their large chelicerae and then inject venom into the poor prey.
This venom paralyzes the nerves of the prey and makes them unconscious, and this venom is also the most valuable thing on the eight-eyed spider, and it can be sold for a hundred gold Galleons casually for just one pint.
This terrifying creature still moves in groups, and a female spider can lay a hundred eggs at a time, and it only takes six to eight weeks for a new, evil-ridden batch of little life to be born.
Over the years, Aragog and his wife have worked tirelessly, and they don't know how many spiders have been bred, and there are not many that can curb the existence of these creatures in the Forbidden Forest, and now the number of spiders in there is definitely an astronomical number.
It's better to wait for yourself to be more powerful before going to find trouble with the eight-eyed spider, William decisively listened to his inner voice after knowing the ferocity of the eight-eyed spider.
He'd probably be fine dealing with an eight-eyed spider now, but once he had it summon his companions, it would be a big problem.
One might go to see Merlin if you're not careful!
However, this year, he could start to explore the Forbidden Forest a little, and he thought a little unwillingly.
Like the energetic Gryffindors, William longed for the lush woods next to Hogwarts Castle, but unlike the young lions who were hungry for excitement and adventure, all he had was curiosity about it.
The treasured magical materials, the magical creatures, and the secrets buried under the land, each of them made William curious.
As early as last year, he had figured out the location of the horses, and he had found that there were not many dangerous places on the outskirts of the woods.
If it were that dangerous, Hogwarts wouldn't have turned it into a place of confinement to punish the students.
Anyway, with Jupiter here, it must have figured out the location of the eight-eyed spider colony in the Forbidden Forest, and it must have figured out the Forbidden Forest near Hogwarts first.
Well, then wait for the little one to come back and start exploring on his own.
After a semester of practicing against spells with Professor Flitwick, William is now much stronger in both his reaction and his own use of spells, which gives him some confidence to go into the Forbidden Forest.
At this time last year, he would never have dared to go to the Forbidden Forest to fight the attention of an eight-eyed spider.
.......................................
"What gets bigger the more you take?" Outside Ravenclaw's common room, the eagle-shaped knocker on the closed door asked William.
In the silent corridor at night, the ethereal voice seemed very eerie.
The sound of this knocker sounds so terrible at night.
William was not stumped by this simple question, he thought for a moment before he thought of the answer, he strode into the door of the common room, and then, as if thinking of something, glanced back at the knocker.
"Can't you just change your voice? It's scary to listen to you on a big night. ”
With a bang, the door to the lounge was slammed shut, and the corridor outside fell silent again.
"You're back, William. Turns out Blake is by your side, and I was just looking for your cat. How can it run around the castle all day long, just like you. ”
Terry, the king of salted fish, was still lying peacefully on the bench by the fire as usual.
Because it's always been in my shadow, Terry! So of course he was with me, but William muttered in his heart, where is this slacker running around, it is clear that he is sleeping with me everywhere.
Blake jumped lightly off William's shoulder, stretching comfortably, it had been sleeping on it for a long time, and now it was the time to be energetic.
It seems that it is ready to play with Terry, and the bad Blake always likes to play tricks on Terry, but the latter is not aware of it.
"Why did you come back so early today?" Terry was still puzzled by William's return so early, and in his impression, William rarely came back at this time, especially on weekends, he always went out early and returned late, and he mysteriously didn't know what he was busy with.
"I'm back after the magic experiment, give myself a vacation today." William casually coped with the past.
He couldn't tell Terry that he had come back so early because he had listened to his inner voice, and he had coaxed.
If memory serves, Harry had heard the sound of a basilisk crawling this evening, when he went to Lockhart's office to complete the closure punishment.
That means that today the diary will control Ginny to start contacting the basilisk, and the secret room has been opened at this time!
William didn't want to hear any strange noises when he came back in the evening. Then, while turning a hallway, I came across a pair of yellow eyes.
He didn't want to end his life so early.
So tonight at the Room of Requirement, William had timed his time, and after a few hurried experiments, he hurried out of the place and walked towards the Ravenclaw Tower.
William didn't want to be the first victim of a basilisk attack, and even though he wasn't a Muggle wizard, who knew what that deranged diary would do, it was better to be steady in the face of the unknown.
How can this be called cowardice?
This should be called, listen to your own inner voice. William thought to himself.
