Chapter 180: The Silver Worm
Dumbledore had already been in the Forbidden Forest before, and it was nearby.
Of course, this kind of thing can't be hidden from Connor.
He didn't need to look too closely, as long as he sensed the existence of the phoenix, and after thinking about it, he realized that the old headmaster couldn't just let Quirrell be left alone.
As for Isobel, she was able to detect it, although she didn't really notice it either.
It's just that the two of them tacitly buried this matter in their stomachs, not mentioning it or caring about it - for them now, Mr. Dumbledore is obviously a taboo subject.
Isobel followed Connor to the tree-lined centaur settlement, where he begged for some fruit and bread, and then to the fortress-like werewolf village, where he obtained meat.
Nothing unusual happened along the way, and by the time she did come to her senses, they had been guided by the centaurs to the borders of the Eight-Eyed Spider's territory, where a fire had been lit.
'Zilala'
With the sound of the flames, Isobel couldn't help but look up at the shade of the trees above.
Because it is the border of the eight-eyed giant spider's territory, strong and powerful spider webs can already be seen on those thick trunks and branches.
For the eight-eyed giant spider, the existence of spider webs is not just a trap, because its unique spider silk is so strong and powerful that it is sometimes even used as a nesting material.
And the dividing line drawn by centaurs and werewolves is not so much a 'territory' as a lair.
And they're eating outrageous dinners right now.
Thinking of this, Isobel's gaze fixed on the fire.
In the midst of the fire, the flames of the flame spell tumbled in the fire, and the fire was so great that it scorched the deer that was on the shelfβit was a whole deer.
"So, why would you ask a werewolf for a whole deer?"
Looking at the roast deer that gradually exuded the aroma of meat, Isobel finally couldn't help but ask.
Two 11-year-olds, eating a whole deer?
It was outrageous, and Isobel had been interested in werewolf and centaur villages, but when she saw Connor there the lion asking for a whole deer, she found that her attention was completely drawn to it.
"You don't think this venison will attract the eight-eyed spider, do you?"
At this moment, Connor was smearing the venison with salt and other seasonings from the centaurs.
"Of course not."
Upon hearing Isobel's question, Connor shook his head.
"This deer is so precious, it must be me and you to eat it...... I'm not in the habit of wasting food. β
"But if it's divided, I can't eat it at all."
That's a whole deer, even if it's half a deer, even if Isobel hasn't eaten much in the morning, she feels like she can't eat it, not to mention the bread and fruit over there.
"Have you eaten a deer leg?"
Just as Isobel's eyes circled, she heard the boy ask.
ββ¦β¦ If you don't eat bread and fruit, you'll probably eat it. β
Seeing the fat and tender thighs, Isobel replied.
"Then give you less, you can't go without fruit."
But at this moment, there was a little bit of an accident.
"Kiln"
Just as the smell of meat spread unscrupulously towards the surrounding area, a certain sound was heard from the depths of the jungle in the distance.
When the night falls, the eyes in the depths seem to glow.
"Something's coming."
She couldn't help but speak.
Before she could finish speaking, the huge spider had already emerged from the jungle.
It's hideous, and the mere sight of it makes people shudder.
And there's more than one!
They open their mouths, spitting out spider silk and venom, and are clearly familiar with it.
"Protect them all!"
Isobel stood up in an instant, wand in hand.
With a flick, a barrier visible to the naked eye spread outward directly from the center of her body, temporarily blocking the eight-eyed giant spider from the outside.
"Fantastic beasts for group action!"
With that, the corner of his eye glanced at Connor.
However, expecting to fight side by side, she found that he didn't move at all.
"Don't worry, they're just here to add some food."
"Meow !!!"
Suddenly, the kitten, named Phil, screamed.
The silver-white figure quickly jumped off Connor's shoulders, the furry look as if to express his anger.
This should have been a ridiculous scene, but the eight-eyed spiders that were still charging and were constantly attacking towards the enlarged iron barrier stopped abruptly.
"Huh?"
Their bodies, taller than adults, trembled, as if they were trembling, but they did not dare to run away.
The front eyes just looked at the growling cat, looking at its unfriendly expression.
In the same way, Phil's human expression also fell into Isobel's eyes.
It wasn't an angry look, and the kitten named Phil was definitely not angry because its owner was threatened and attacked.
There was a hint of greed in her blue jewel-like eyes, as if she had seen something delicious.
"It's ......"
"I remember you seemed to be interested in Phil?"
Connor said with a smile.
Hearing this, Isobel was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly.
"Hmm."
Although she missed the best time to ask questions before, she still remembers the sights she saw at the beginning.
Silver-white cats, silver-white crows, silver-white flying insects, bears, deer, and all kinds of animals.
There are many species, but the animals that gather in the caves all have their signature silver-white fur and jewel-like blue eyes.
"So, what the hell is going on with your cat?"
"She's not a cat, as for what the hell is she...... Why don't you see for yourself? β
What does that mean?
But before she could ask more, Connor gave the order:
"Let's do it, let's report a meal...... After that, you'll be given a deer leg for dessert. β
"Boom"
Then, Isobel heard a surging sound.
It was like a storm, but it was like the sound of insects flapping their wings.
'Zizizi'
No, it's the sound of the swarm looting!
When the girl was stunned, the originally quiet bushes rushed directly out of a large swarm of black oppressive bees, and they were petite, but they rushed towards the eight-eyed giant spider like bloodthirsty hunters.
Entanglement, sucking......
When the silvery 'hurricane' swept by, all it left was shriveled corpses.
Flesh, venom, when all that is gone, all that remains is a carapace that cannot be supported.
"It's ......"
"My child is eating a little roughly...... But it shouldn't be too disgusting. β
Looking back, Isobel saw that the boy had cut off most of the deer's leg and placed it on a plate that had been magically shaped.
"Can you still have dinner?"
