Chapter 81: Magic Duel

In the dark corners of the surroundings, there was a constant sound of rustling and rubbing.

This unsettling sound permeated a radius of dozens of meters.

The ground, the trees, and even the branches of the trees far in mid-air all seemed to be the source of this sound.

It was as if a huge number of creatures were forming a huge encirclement at an astonishing speed, sweeping towards the envelope of several of them.

Lu Li narrowed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them again, a touch of blush quietly appeared in the depths of his eyes.

And the mysterious creature in the dark corner, at this moment, has nothing to hide in front of these eyes.

It was—hundreds, thousands, of eight-eyed spiders.

The Eight-Eyed Spider is a large, ferocious spider with eight eyes, deadly venom, and terrifying reproductive abilities.

All of the eight-eyed spiders in the Forbidden Forest are descendants of the giant spider named Aragog that Hagrid had released a few years earlier.

"Damn, where the hell did all this stuff come from?"

Not far away, with a sharp voice, a spell of flashing red light appeared, which was constantly dispersing the swarm of spiders that poured out like a tide.

"Umbridge, why is she here?"

Hermione looked at the pink stocky figure with a little confusion on her face.

Shouldn't she be packing her salute at the Defense Against the Dark Arts office at this point in time and getting ready to get on the train out of Hogwarts?

"Then why are you here?" Lu Li pursed his lips and couldn't help but ask.

Umbridge's tracking, Lu Li had actually found out a long time ago.

Originally, Lu Li had planned to wait for Harry and the others to go back first, and then stay and deal with her alone.

But what they didn't expect was that Harry and the three of them would follow him and Luna deeper and deeper into the Forbidden Forest.

Therefore, he finally had to take the initiative to stand up and persuade them to return.

Now, however, it is clear that something unexpected has happened.

Lu Li's words made a trace of embarrassment flash across Hermione's face.

However, it was only fleeting, because the situation they faced was much more severe.

"That's the Eight-Eyed Spider!"

Ron involuntarily shrank back as he clenched his wand firmly.

He subconsciously swallowed again, he still had a lot of shadows about this terrible creature.

When he was in his second year, he and Harry went to the Forbidden Forest to find the eight-eyed spider that Hagrid had let go.

Although the investigation got to the bottom of the matter, the results weren't good.

If it weren't for the flying Ford Anglia, he and Harry would have been in the belly of these eight-eyed spiders.

You know, there won't be any more flying cars to save them this time.

"Fresh human flesh is automatically delivered to the door, and there is more than one."

A hoarse voice came from a tree branch in mid-air.

The cobs below seemed to have received some kind of order to temporarily halt the attack on Umbridge.

Umbridge, surrounded by the spider swarm, slowly approached in the direction of Lu Li.

"You two little ghosts, what are you running to the Forbidden Forest! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have come to this troubled water....." Umbridge glared at Lu Li and Luna with a gloomy face, and said in a fierce tone.

Umbridge also noticed the strange color of cold blood red in Lu Li's eyes at this time, and at the same time, she was even more sure that her choice was correct.

There must be a lot of secrets in this guy's body, and everything is going smoothly with his plan.

Until the appearance of this exchange student with an unfortunate background, he disrupted all his deployments.

And the time I was in the Great Hall before, that strange feeling, like someone had cast a Reimburser curse.

The source of all this points to this young man with a mysterious origin.

It's just that, in the face of the current terrible predicament, Umbridge also feels a little tricky.

If there were three or five, or even a dozen eight-eyed giant spiders, she thought she could deal with them.

But now, the number of spiders is too large.

Even if she kept casting spells, she would eventually be overwhelmed by the dense swarm of spiders.

So, Umbridge couldn't help but sprinkle the resentment in her heart on Lu Li and Luna.

"I didn't invite you to the Forbidden Forest."

Lu Li's tone also cooled, and he naturally didn't have a good face for this disgusting guy.

"If we had stayed in the castle, we might have eaten the prepared snacks by now, instead of being a delicacy for these spiders here."

Ron also regretted it at this moment, why did he have to gossip about this guy's privacy?

However, unlike Umbridge, he felt that the current situation was entirely to blame for the three of them.

It is said that curiosity kills cats, but now they are about to kill themselves.

"Regent!"

Umbridge was caught off guard and waved his wand at him as he got a little closer.

Receptive, able to capture emotions and memories from the target's mind.

When the caster is close to the target, or when the target is not alerted, it is easier for the Dementor to succeed, and eye contact is especially important.

Even when he was still in danger, Umbridge made a decisive move.

Because now she had to give it a go and find Dumbledore's handle, or she would have to sit back on the bench when she returned to the Ministry of Magic.

Under this spell, Lu Li's gaze froze slightly.

But soon, in those red eyes, the three pitch-black magatama began to rotate rapidly.

The Occlumency Technique can be said to be the magic that Lu Li has practiced the most so far, in order to prevent others from probing his memory.

Of course, its counterpart.

He's also pretty good at receptivity, but he doesn't have much chance to cast spells.

The chakra when ninjas use ninjutsu is the product of a combination of mental and physical strength.

The spell cast by a wizard is mainly determined by his spiritual power.

Coupled with the stability of the first layer of his Taiji Xuanqing Dao realm, Lu Li's current spiritual power can be said to be far beyond the vast majority of wizards in this world.

Umbridge, naturally, is also among the vast majority of wizards.

Her devotion is not at all qualified.

"Since you made the first move, then don't blame me for being rude."

Lu Li narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Umbridge tightly.

Immediately, the Writing Wheel Eye quietly cast an illusion.

"Go ahead, use your strength to open a safe way out for us."

Umbridge's gaze wandered for a moment, but quickly regained her clear yin, she looked at Lu Li vigilantly, and then sneered: "Hehe, do you think I will be defenseless this time?" ”

Lu Li blocked the four of Luna behind him, and these talented little wizards might accidentally fall into Umbridge's way.

"Jie Ji ......, this is a human wizard, even in the same predicament, facing the threat of imminent death together, there is still no infighting."

On the branches of the trees in mid-air, the hoarse voice carried a deep irony.

The eight-eyed giant spider led by this one seemed to be enjoying the fun of the trapped beast fight, and it seemed to be preaching to the little spiders around him.

It shifted its position slightly, as if looking for a better view, and glanced playfully at the few people below, and said:

"Human wizards, I can give you a chance to engage in a magical duel between you, and the final victor will get a way out of the Forbidden Forest."
