Chapter 82: Choice
"What you said is true?"
Before Lu Li and the others could speak, a hint of joy crossed Umbridge's face.
While guarding against Lu Li and the others, she raised her head slightly, looked at the eight-eyed giant spider led by the one in mid-air, and asked a little impatiently.
"Of course, but only one of you will be the last to stand, and I will not shoot against the winner."
The hoarse voice came again, emphasizing the rules of the game it had laid down again, and the cruel creature seemed happy to see the human wizards kill each other.
Obviously, it's not the first time it's played this kind of game.
This eight-eyed giant spider is not only ugly in appearance, but also extremely vicious in its mind.
"What should we do?"
Luna held the wand in her hand, and whispered to Lu Li while guarding against the sneak attack of the eight-eyed giant spiders around her.
Although the current situation is very bad, there is still no trace of panic and panic on the face of this blonde girl, even if she clearly knows that it is difficult to escape the encirclement of the surrounding spiders with her own strength.
Maybe it's because of her weird nature, or the reliable figure standing beside her, which makes her feel an inexplicable sense of security.
"I can't believe what these ugly spiders say." Lu Li didn't answer Luna's question, but said this lightly.
"These guys will even eat their dead companions, how can they let us go."
Ron didn't believe it at all, he was the one who feared spiders the most, and therefore knew the most about the creature.
Looking at the spiders around him that were as big as cars, Ron clenched his wand a little harder.
"Indeed, Ron and I have met their leader Aragog before, and he said that Hagrid is the only human in their group who will not attack."
Harry chimed in, saying that there was clearly a tough battle to be fought right now, so the look on his face was grim.
The round lens seemed to glow with cold light at this moment, and it seemed that as soon as a giant spider pounced, Harry would immediately and quickly cast a spell to counterattack.
"It's my fault this time, I shouldn't have instigated you to come to the Forbidden Forest." Miss Know-It-All said in an apologetic tone to her two companions.
"Come on, Hermione, Ron and I have taken you on adventures a lot more than you do," Harry said with a sudden smile as he glanced at Hermione.
"yes, we don't have to talk to each other." Ron had a somewhat ugly smile on his face, but he was still comforting Hermione.
The friendship between the magic triangle is vividly displayed at this moment.
"I said, it's just spiders, you don't need to make it look like life and death."
Lu Li glanced at the three little wizards beside him, they didn't have the kind of trust that Luna had in him, he couldn't help but show a little funny smile on his face, and said with a slight smile: "Don't worry, I will take you out of here safely." ”
"Although the location of the Forbidden Forest is relatively remote, it is still within the range of Hogwarts Castle, so it is impossible to use phantom migration here."
Hermione explained word by word, her expression not at all optimistic because of Lu Li's words.
The problem Hermione said, Lu Li is naturally clear.
This clever little witch obviously misunderstood the meaning of his words, Lu Li's original intention was to lead them to a way out of the Forbidden Forest, but he didn't bother to explain to them now.
Compared with the distrust of Lu Li and his party, there was also a wizard present who was extremely tempted by what the eight-eyed giant spider at the head said.
"Honorable Chief, I'm Umbridge, Deputy Minister of Magic, if you let me go, I promise ......"
Umbridge also heard what Lu Li was saying, and in the face of such a creature with intelligence close to that of a human, she tried to negotiate with power first.
Before Umbridge could finish speaking, the eight-eyed giant spider led by it made several distinct "clicks" with its large claws, as a sign of anger in its heart.
"Human, your identity in the wizarding world doesn't work here."
Obviously, the eight-eyed spider didn't have the patience to listen to Umbridge's nonsense, and interrupted her directly and indifferently. "Die now or duel!"
"That ......"
Umbridge's face turned cold, and then he said decisively: "I choose the latter." ”
She swore in her heart that if she could leave the forest alive, she would use the power of the Aurors to carry out a clean-up here.
The premise is that if she still has this right at that time.
"Human, you made a wise choice."
The eight-eyed giant spider led by it was very satisfied with the answer of the short and fat woman below, and the hideous claw let out a few "clicks" again.
The voice seemed to give a signal, and after receiving the order, the dense eight-eyed giant spiders around them quickly took action, retreating a distance of dozens of meters like a tide.
The spider colony leaves plenty of space between Umbridge and Lu Li's group.
At this near-vacuum safe distance, the eight-eyed giant spiders are showing yin to several people, and they will not sneak up on the latter in a magic duel.
Lu Li raised his eyelids slightly, his somewhat cold red gaze, and stared closely at the eight-eyed giant spider that was giving orders.
I have to say that this eight-eyed giant spider is sinister and cunning enough.
It could see at a glance that the wizards below were in a hostile relationship, and then used a few words to arouse Umbridge's instinctive desire to survive, and then instigated her to attack several of her own people.
This magic duel, as long as one of the people present agrees, it is half the battle.
In the end, no matter who wins, their race will be able to obtain delicious food at the lowest cost.
Not only that, but they can also enjoy the ugly scenes of cannibalism among human wizards, as a way to satisfy their inner thirst for bloody killing.
Moreover, there are still many loopholes in what this eight-eyed giant spider said.
It said that it would give the winner a passage out of the Forbidden Forest, and that it would not attack the winner, and that was only its unilateral position, but it did not say that the other Eight-Eyed Spiders would abide by this rule.
"Do you believe the eight-eyed spider?" Lu Li moved his gaze to Umbridge and said in a cold tone.
Lu Li looked at Umbridge, who was clenching his wand and looking ready to go.
He didn't believe that a woman who could sit in the position of deputy minister of magic was so stupid, although her appearance and strength were indeed not worth expecting.
Umbridge didn't answer Lu Li's question, but slowly moved his steps, cautiously guarded, and constantly looking for opportunities to attack.
She was now alone, and there were as many as five of them.
Although most of them are young wizards who have not yet graduated from Hogwarts, she does not mean to underestimate her own life.
