Chapter 42: The Eight-Eyed Spider
A huge spider suddenly fell from the tree, and its dark eight eyes stared at the three Hope viciously.
The giant spider opened its fangs at the trio and let out a "squeak!" ”
A scream like the grinding sound of leather reached their ears through their eardrums, and Matteo and Caleb couldn't help but feel weak, and they couldn't help but think, "Who am I?" Where am I? What am I going to do? ”
Hope didn't panic, the more times like this, the more calm he should be, such a huge spider is undoubtedly an eight-eyed spider, he was released to the Forbidden Forest by Hagrid many years ago, and he doesn't know where to find a female spider to make a home in the Forbidden Forest, because there are no natural enemies, the population is already huge.
He remembered that Hagrid seemed to have an agreement with them, as if he was not allowed to harm the little wizard, and presumably the one that Hagrid had freed should have warned his children and grandchildren, but now there was only one, and Hope thought that he should be able to talk about it.
Hope looked at the eight-eyed spider not far away and shouted, "We are friends with Hagrid." ”
Matteo and Caleb, who were beside him, looked at Hope in amazement, they didn't understand what Tihag was doing at this time, but for now they had to listen to Hope.
The eight-eyed spider not far away ignored Hope's words, Hope frowned, it shouldn't be, the eight-eyed spider has a high IQ and can understand human speech, and most of them can imitate human language to attract people who don't know to fall into their trap.
Before Hope could think about it, the eight-eyed spider roared and rushed over, and the words that Hope heard were "Wizard... Die..."
f***, Hope scolded secretly and waved his wand, "There are many obstacles!" ”
The eight-eyed spider was immediately blocked by a transparent barrier, and Hope saw the opportunity and waved his clutches, "All petrified!" ”
However, the eight-eyed spider froze for less than five seconds and recovered, and Hope secretly screamed that it was not good, the eight-eyed spider's magic resistance was too high.
Seeing this, Matteo and Caleb, who were stunned, also plucked up their courage and made up two petrification spells.
The eight-eyed spider was petrified in place.
Before the three of them could breathe a sigh of relief, the noisy rustling sound sounded again, and more and more eight-eyed spiders appeared, and the one they petrified was just a pathfinder, and the sound of the fight attracted all the other spiders.
This time, Matteo and Caleb were directly frightened and collapsed to the ground, and Hope also turned solemn.
Aren't eight-eyed spiders nocturnal animals, how can they gather so much in broad daylight?
Hope was keenly aware that most of the spiders were wounded.
Hope thought silently, "Did someone go and poke the spider's nest?" Is it so bold? "The venom of the eight-eyed spider is very valuable, and a pint costs a hundred gold Galleons.
Secretly scolded for bad luck.
Hope still wanted to struggle: "This is a misunderstanding, do you believe it?" ”
The eight-eyed spider in the lead roared and said what was actually human: "Aragog... Attacked... Wounded... Sorcerer... Damn it! The dense eight-eyed spider rushed towards Hope and the others like a tidal wave.
Alagog was attacked? It's our business, Hope thought speechlessly.
As the saying goes, the Forbidden Forest is on fire, and Azkaban is walking, but now the situation is urgent and I can't care so much.
"All fixed!"
Hope swung his wand and used the Cryo Charm, hoping to stop the eight-eyed spider in his tracks, but unfortunately the Cryo Charm had limited effect on this huge magical animal.
"The flames are blazing!"
Seeing this, Hope waved his wand again and used the fire charm to block the progress of the eight-eyed spider, which was very afraid of fire.
Taking advantage of this gap, Hope couldn't hide it, and turned into a huge brown bear, which was useless for a while, but fortunately it was not rusty.
Throwing Matteo and Caleb on his back, Hope landed on all fours and began to run, four legs faster than two.
Matteo and Caleb instinctively grabbed the hair on Hope's back, and the painful Hope grinned and roared behind his back, so frightened that the two almost let go, but Hope decided to endure it.
The eight-eyed spider behind him had already broken through the fire wall of the flame spell and chased after them, and several of them ran fast towards Hope and the others, and Hope directly slapped it with a bear paw.
"The power of the bear!"
The size of his Animagus form was larger than these eight-eyed spiders, and his strength was also extraordinary, and the eight-eyed spiders in mid-air were directly swept away by this slap, knocking down the other eight-eyed spiders who were catching up on the side.
It's not a way to go on like this, two legs can't run four legs, and four legs can't run eight legs.
At this time, the two people on Hope's back also recovered, and the fear was to no avail, Matteo and Caleb once again picked up their wands and fought the eight-eyed spiders around them.
Watching all kinds of spells emanating from his back, Hope felt like he was a bear rider, but he was a mount.
Playing Caleb seems to be excited, his father is a martial arts fighter, and he often receives his father's martial arts training at home, and there is a kind of wildness hidden in his bones.
Now that he felt that his little wand was no longer sufficient for him, he patted Hope under him and said, "How did you do this, can you make me a bear too?" I'm going to fight them! ”
Hope roared speechlessly, you are sick, this thing will be seen in twenty years after a mouthful of venom.
Matteo explained speechlessly: "This is the Animagus, which belongs to the advanced metamorphosis, and the number of Animagus registered with the Ministry of Magic is only seven, so don't think about it." ”
Running like this was not an option, and Hope was already starting to feel a little exhausted.
Just when he was at a loss, the sound of horses' hooves reached Hope's ears, and then a strong horseman with a bow and arrow appeared in Hope's sight, and the old horseman led by him took a deep look at Hope, who had turned into a bear.
Then he waved his hand and unleashed his bow and arrow to shoot at the spider swarm, and the stimulated eight-eyed spider chased after the centaurs in part.
The centaurs are worthy of being hunters in the forest, and with their dexterity, they constantly kite the eight-eyed spider.
Hope's pressure suddenly decreased, and Hope looked at the old centaur standing on the high place, and the centaur pointed Hope in the direction.
Hope understood and ran in the direction the centaur pointed, and the remaining eight-eyed spiders were stopped by the centaurs.
Hope, who had escaped the danger, changed back and lay on the ground panting for breath regardless of his image.
Caleb asked, "Are those half-men and half-horses the horsemen that Hagrid said?" ”
Matteo took a deep breath and said, "Yes, I don't know why they saved us, and so many eight-eyed spiders don't know if there's something wrong with them." ”
Hope thought for a moment and breathed a sigh of relief, "Maybe they have a contract with Headmaster Dumbledore." ”
Hope was also puzzled, it stands to reason that centaurs hate wizards, even though they are not wizards to centaurs now, and they are even foals.
"They should be fine, and if they weren't sure, they wouldn't have come to our rescue."
Instead of thinking about this, Hope just wants to hurry back to Hogwarts now, who loves to come to this forbidden forest, he is not coming, it is really dangerous.
