Chapter 34: Danger Strikes
Alice sat quietly at the entrance of the cave and watched the night, scanning the entrance of the cave with her eyes from time to time to see if the vigilance magic had been touched. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The December nights were already unusually cold, and even after a warm-up spell on her body, Alice still felt uncomfortable. It's a pity that in this trial forest, the two of them didn't dare to make a fire to keep warm, so they could only rely on the warm-up spell. The food that Fang Yan and Alice ate during the day was also the dry food that had been prepared in the space bag before entering the proving ground.
Alice looked back, and the dialect was already dressed and lay down on the blanket, going straight to a deep sleep to quickly regain her energy.
"This kid-" Alice was a little speechless, how big her heart must be to fall asleep so quickly in such a dangerous environment.
"Huh?" At this time, Alice suddenly noticed that a black shadow flashed in the woods not far from the entrance of the cave, and her heart immediately became vigilant, and her wand slid silently into her hand, and her magic began to mobilize.
Instead of rushing forward to check, Alice just stood up from the ground, her eyes scanning her surroundings vigilantly to prevent an enemy attack. Her mission is to keep the first half of the night safe and give the dialect plenty of rest, and as long as the creatures don't bother, Alice doesn't have to take the initiative to start a fight. Moreover, there are too many dangerous creatures in the forest at night, and Alice doesn't want to attract the attention of more creatures because of the battle.
After a few minutes, the flashing black shadow never appeared, as if it was just Alice's illusion.
"Oh, that's not right!" Alice suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and it seemed that the surroundings were a little quieter than before. Alice's expression changed, and her heart secretly said badly, you know, the trial forest at night is very lively, there are more creatures moving than in the daytime, and there are naturally a lot of various sounds. But at this moment, the area around the cave suddenly became extremely silent, and not even a trace of insect chirping could be heard.
While Alice was wary of the unknown enemy in the jungle, a group of ferocious predators had quietly surrounded the area where they were from all directions, slowly approaching the mouth of the cave.
The eight-eyed spider is a large, ferocious spider with eight eyes and can speak human language. It is native to the island of Kalimantan and inhabits dense jungles. Its characteristics are very remarkable: its whole body is covered with thick black hair; The legs can stretch to the sides of the body up to fifteen feet; When emotional or angry, its chelica makes a clear audible clicking sound; It also secretes venom.
Eight-eyed spiders are carnivores and prefer large prey. It weaves a dome-shaped cobweb on the ground. Females are larger than males and can lay up to a hundred eggs at a time. The eggs are white, soft, and as large as a floating balloon. The eggs hatch for six to eight weeks, and the eggs are clearly classified as a Class A non-tradable commodity by the Department of Magical Creatures Management and Control, which means that the import or sale of eggs will be severely punished.
The eight-eyed spiders are believed to have been bred by wizards, probably in order for them to guard the sorcerer's dwelling or treasure. Other monsters that are usually created with magic serve this purpose as well. Although the Eight-Eyed Spider has an intelligence close to that of humans, it cannot be domesticated, making it highly dangerous to wizards and Muggles alike. Scotland is rumored to have established a base for the Eight-Eyed Giant Spider, but this has not been confirmed.
In the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts, there is a nest of extremely large eight-eyed spiders, which are the offspring of an eight-eyed spider raised by Hagrid when he was in school.
In the Trial Forest, there is also a nest of eight-eyed spiders, which is no less than the number in the Hogwarts Forbidden Forest, but they live in the Intermediate Trial Zone, and generally do not cross the border to other areas. Even if there were, it would be cleared out by the Trialgrounds Guardians.
But accidents in this world are always endless, I don't know when, a nest of more than a dozen eight-eyed spiders sneaked into the forest area where the primary trial area is located, and also escaped the eyes of Ralfil, a legendary powerhouse, and escaped the purge. At this moment, he suddenly appeared outside the cave where Fang Yan and Alice were resting, and stared at the two people in the cave.
Spiders are always very patient when it comes to capturing their prey, and the eight-eyed spider has undoubtedly inherited this trait. After discovering Alice and the dialect, these eight-eyed spiders resisted their desire for fresh flesh and blood, and under the arrangement of their leader, they quietly surrounded the entrance of the cave, and the creatures around the cave were either cleaned up by the eight-eyed spiders or had fled in fright, so the surroundings became so quiet. However, it also caught Alice's attention because of this.
Alice's nerves were tense, after experiencing the snakes she encountered during the day, she had already guessed that the area was probably surrounded by some creatures, and it was a very dangerous creature, otherwise the surroundings would not have become so quiet so quickly, and those creatures that could haunt the forest at night were not vegetarians.
Click...... Click......
The already quiet forest suddenly moved, and Alice knew that this was a prelude to the enemy's preparation.
Now it was no longer possible to wake up the dialect, and Alice was about to wake it up when there was a soft sound of footsteps behind her. Looking back, Fang Yan was already ready for battle with his wand in hand, and he didn't know when he had woken up.
Fang Yan nodded to Alice and walked up to her with a wand in hand, and the two stood side by side at the entrance of the cave, waiting for the enemy to appear.
Click...... Click...... The surrounding trees are constantly making the sound of biological activity, and the encirclement is getting closer and closer, and the enemy finally reveals his true face.
"How so?!" Alice let out an exclamation of disbelief as she looked at the eight-eyed spider that kept pouring out of the bushes, "How could it be an eight-eyed spider?" This is a creature that only exists in the Intermediate Trials Zone! ”
Fang Yan's expression became more serious, he had come to this world for so long and he had already understood that this was the real world, not a fairy tale in the original book, and it was basically impossible for Harry Potter to escape intact after being besieged by an eight-eyed spider in the Forbidden Forest. The fact that the eight-eyed spider can be classified as a dangerous species of xxxxx by the magic department is not in vain, especially the swarms of eight-eyed spiders, which are not at all something that underage wizards can deal with.
In the extremely solemn atmosphere of the scene, one by one huge eight-eyed spiders quickly crawled out of the woods, and the eight huge eyes on their bodies were rolling drippingly, staring at Fang Yan and Alice, revealing incomparable cruelty and thirst for blood.
