Chapter 47: Inquiry
After Ron also took a broomstick, the group continued to walk.
Along the way, the sounds of the surrounding people gradually became denser.
From time to time, you can see some large spiders slowly stretching out their legs from behind the thick roots, and then slowly retracting them when the eyes of the three of them sweep over.
All three of them had some scalp tingling, and the number and size of spiders in this place had far exceeded their expectations.
"I remember having a spell that dealt with spiders." Mu Yan licked his lips that were a little dry, and mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally.
"Like...... There is indeed such a mantra. Ron's voice trembled.
This fluffy bug with eight legs on its body is really terrifying to him!
"I know that." Harry was calm, and instead of being afraid of the spiders, he was still watching them closely, as if he had found some clues in them.
"But do we really want to use it?"
“…… I mean, these spiders have eight eyes, and they're probably all descendants of Aragog, and if we attack them, Aragog won't help us anymore. ”
"Of course not now." Mu Yan shook his head and said meaningfully, "I just hope that I won't need ...... for a while."
Ron shuddered when he heard Mu Yan's words, and Harry subconsciously glanced at the broom in his hand and didn't speak again.
The downward slope soon came to an end, and a bottomless hole appeared in front of the three men and one dog.
When Harry's description of the once petite and cute eight-legged spider came out of the dark hole with eight steps, even Mu Yan couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
What is this TM?
This guy with a big belly that can fit three cars grew up eating pig feed!!
The front half of Aragog's body is also unusually large, but it is still slightly small compared to its exaggerated belly, which can fill the entire hole.
If it weren't for the fact that it suddenly stepped forward and smelled the smell on the tooth body, Mu Yan would have thought that it was stuck in the hole.
Such an unusually large belly that can be said to be bloated, if it were not for the fact that its head still retains the characteristics of a spider, it is estimated that no one would be able to tell that he is a spider.
However, when she thought that the spiders in this nest were all her descendants, Mu Yan said that it was understandable, after all, there is a saying...... Only those with big butts can be born!
Come to think of it, in recent years, Aragog has completely treated himself as a fertility machine.
Harry stood stunned with his mouth half-open, too frightened by the behemoth that had emerged from the darkness to his senses for a moment.
Subconsciously clenching the broom in his hand, he raised his head and looked at the hideous mouthparts above his head, feeling that he was now less of a fearless warrior and more like a street sweeper.
He turned his head to look at Ron.
Already scared silly.
He turned his head and glanced at Mu Yan again.
Mu Yan is still relatively calm, but why is he eating again?
This foodie!
There is no one reliable at a critical time!!
Harry clutched his head, suddenly feeling that he was dark, and he looked up to find that eight dark eyes had come in front of him, and a fishy smell came from his hideous mouthparts.
"You smell bad!" An emotionless voice sounded in the minds of the three of them.
You don't smell good, do you? Harry groaned in his heart.
A gleam flashed in Mu Yan's eyes.
Aragog is actually communicating with them directly with his spiritual power! This was the first time he had seen such a high-spirited creature in this world.
"We're friends with Hagrid." As if afraid of making a bad impression on the octagonal spider, Harry climbed as soon as he spoke, "Are you Aragog?" ”
"Yes," Aragog looked at the three of them carefully, "Hagrid never sent anyone to find me before, did something happen to him?" ”
Aragog's every word was uttered slowly, and even if it was a direct mental communication, he could feel the dullness in it.
Obviously, it is old, having lived for more than fifty years, which is long enough for the eight-eyed spider race.
"Hagrid is in trouble, the Ministry of Magic thinks he opened the Chamber of Secrets, just like before, now he's been captured by the Ministry of Magic, and I heard that he will be imprisoned in Azkaban!" Harry told everything like a jelly bean.
"They lied, Hagrid never opened the Chamber of Secrets, never!"
Hagrid's story had clearly irritated the eight-eyed spider, and its movements seemed a little agitated, but the voice coming out was as rigid as ever, without a trace of emotion.
"They also say you're a monster in the Chamber of Secrets! It was Hagrid who let you go! Seeing that Aragog was emotional, Harry hurriedly added another fire.
"Me?" Aragog's voice slowed strangely, "No, I'm not a monster in the Chamber of Secrets, that guy was born in a castle, and I'm brought from far away. ”
"But if you're not that monster, who killed that girl fifty years ago?" Harry pressed on, feeling like he was getting to the bottom of the story.
"Harry......" Ron's trembling voice came from beside him, and Harry felt him tug at his sleeve.
"Shhhhhh
"Mu Yan......" Ron, who was stopped by Harry, could only turn his head bitterly and call out to Mu Yan.
On the other side, Mu Yan's hand that had just been raised to his mouth was put down, and he sighed with some regret.
It's already at the limit, he can't eat it, and the bonus that the foodie talent brings him is not infinite, although it can be activated as long as he changes a food every five minutes, but no matter what, as long as it's a person, what he can eat is limited.
During this time in the Harry Potter world, Mu Yan also studied his foodie talent well.
He found that the essence of this talent is actually very simple, that is, to convert part of the food eaten into a strange energy into the cells of the whole body, so as to stimulate the activity of the cells, so that the cells have been in the most active state for five minutes, on the surface, it seems that Mu Yan's physical fitness has been slightly improved in all aspects, and even the fatigue is slowly subsiding.
But in fact, his strength has not been given an additional boost, but the cells in his whole body have played their best.
There are pros and cons to doing this, and the pros and cons are that it naturally makes people feel that their physical fitness has improved, and they have been in a physical optimal state for five minutes.
The disadvantage, or drawback, is that the conversion rate of energy is too low, and only a maximum of one-fifth of a serving of food will be converted into energy.
As a result, this has caused a more embarrassing phenomenon, the cells of the whole body are stimulated to be active, the speed of digestion and energy conversion is increased, the metabolism of the human body is greatly accelerated, and the remaining four-fifths of the food that has not been converted into energy will be digested and absorbed in a very short time, and the part that cannot be absorbed is quickly sent to the small intestine, then the large intestine, and then ......
What, people have three urgencies, and they can use this title without restrictions, but I'm afraid that it is not far from the title of "Xiang Warrior......
Fortunately, after a large number of experiments, Mu Yan has now grasped that fragile boundary, so that he can keep himself in the best condition without causing too much burden on his body.
Hearing Ron's weak voice, Mu Yan smiled at him and made a reassuring expression.
Of course, he knew what Ron was trying to tell him, and his mental power was scanning the surroundings all the time, and he had already noticed that the roots of the trees around him were already full of dense eight-eyed spiders.
It would be false to say that he was not nervous, he was also nervous now, but it was past the perfect time to leave.
It's not that he wasn't alert or didn't want to leave, but he had to wait for Harry to ask for the key clues to connect the plot completely, or everything they went through tonight would even be said to be in vain!
So even in this situation, where one more minute is dangerous, he has to wait!
He raised his head and drank a tube of potions, and Mu Yan's left hand in his pocket tightened unconsciously.
"We don't say anything about it!" Aragog's voice became staccato and seemed to be terrified at the mention of the topic, "It's the predator of our spiders, and all spiders will run away when they see it!" ”
Almost!
"That ......"
"Then disturb Mr. Aragog!" Mu Yan's faint voice interrupted Harry's questioning.
Harry turned around in confusion, his eyes even a little angry.
The truth is about to be revealed, why interrupt him at this time?
Mu Yan pouted upwards, and Harry looked up.
At some point, the huge cavern made of twisted roots has been filled with dense eight-eyed spiders!
They glue their silk to the ceiling and hang upside down like a surprise from the sky, silently!
The nearest one was only five or six meters above their heads!
"Disturb?" Aragog's sluggish and cold voice seemed unusually eerie in the minds of the three of them at this time, "Don't bother at all! ”
"I want to thank you! I restrained my children from eating Hagrid, but how could I make them refuse a meal delivered to their door? ”
"You'd better stay! Hagrid's friends! ”
Harry and Ron had already taken out their wands and nervously pointed at the eight-eyed spiders that had emerged out of nowhere.
It's not that they don't want to run, it's just that the passage they came in before has been blocked by a large number of eight-eyed spiders.
Now, even if they fly over with a flying broomstick, it will be difficult for them to escape from the guard of so many spiders, not to mention that there are so many "wonder soldiers" hanging upside down on spider silk in the sky!
"Can you panic now?" Ron said with a sad face.
He'd wanted to remind the two of them a long time ago!
Harry's face was flustered, and he didn't speak, and he didn't have the energy to argue with Ron anymore at this time.
"You don't have to stay......"
At this moment, a faint voice came from behind them.
The two turned their heads to look, only to see Mu Yan take out a glass bottle containing a dark purple liquid from his pocket, and unplug the wooden cork on it with a bang.
He smiled at Harry and Ron, his expressions unusually calm.
"I don't want to be deducted points for going back late!"
As he spoke, he turned the glass bottle upside down, and a purple viscous liquid poured out of the bottle!
