In the dark forest, the ancient canopy is towering, and in addition to the thick trunks of trees, there are twisted and coiled roots.

The partially decaying roots of the tree are overgrown with mushrooms, which are colorful and emit a faint fluorescence, which looks unusually gorgeous. However, being in this place only makes people feel more strange and dangerous.

Kevin and his entourage walked among the fluorescents. They followed the footprints they had left behind, carefully avoiding the blankets that stretched to the ground.

Therefore, the Resurrection Stone does not really resurrect the dead. It can only recall the souls of the deceased and allow them to exist in reality in an illusory way. And it is precisely this kind of initiative that makes them passively wander between life and death, and there is no peace, so that the resurrected person will always be sad, indifferent and lonely. Is that so?"

"You understand well, Clarence. Therefore, I am more inclined to identify the resurrection stone as a semi-finished product. While studying it, I'm also trying to perfect the magic in it. If you can succeed, the ability to bring the dead back to life is a big gain. ”

As they spoke, they came to a hill, where their footprints were gone. Facing their direction, a dark hole opened in the middle of the hillock. The flat ground outside the entrance of the cave was covered with car tire prints, and broken branches and leaves were scattered everywhere.

It's a little empty, but it's darker than the surrounding jungle.

"It was here that a car suddenly appeared, leading a group of eagles and beasts to block those giant spiders. And then it broke through there and led us ......"

Halfway through speaking, Jensen looked up at the top of his head, where the foliage was so dense that there was not a single gap in sight, and he was immediately stunned.

"Inside the Forbidden Forest, there is a lot of demonic energy. Even these trees have benefited immensely, and the speed of restoration is staggering. Sensing the mystery at a glance, Phoenix looked at Kevin after a little explanation, "You can try to fly up and explore the terrain." ”

Nodding, Kevin's mind moved, and in an instant, he broke through the canopy. Looking up, the imaginary open scene did not appear, but a thick fog rushed in the face, and the surroundings were white.

"What's going on? Not like that. ”

"That's because no one else has been here before you, or rather, it's been a disturbance. ”

"You mean ......"

"The Forbidden Forest is trying to trap the destroyers. You can try to go up again. ”

"Good. ”

......

"Bang!"

There was a sound of breaking the air, and in the rolling clouds, a figure had rushed out at this time.

“...... What's going on?" Kevin stopped in front of a leaf, Kevin's head down, feet up, and his face full of disbelief, "I'm obviously flying up." ”

"It's not a simple cloud, it's affecting your five senses. Phoenix was still firmly on Kevin's shoulder, and his tone was indifferent, "Now, go down." ”

......

"Kevin hasn't come back yet, it's been ten minutes. ”

"It's so quiet here, I really don't want to stay for a second!"

Clarence and Jensen were standing beside Hagrid, looking nervous from time to time.

"Wait, at least it's not dangerous. Hagrid reluctantly reassured, a trace of anxiety in his heart was hidden deep in him, and he didn't dare to show it on his face at all.

However, to everyone's delight, after a while, Kevin appeared in their field of vision. But in the next second, they all stood on the spot, replaced by endless panic in their hearts.

At this time, Kevin had just crossed the hill and came from its back to the entrance of the cave. At the same time, a huge giant spider was shrinking through the hole.

"Don't worry, it's here to show us the way. Phoenix was the first to speak to break the deadlock, then turned to look at the giant spider beside him, "Excuse me, old fellow." ”

"Uh, no trouble, no trouble, I should do it!" Unexpectedly, the giant spider opened its mouth to speak, and there was a slight tremor in its hoarse voice.

It turned and walked into the cave again, out of the sight of others, stealing a glance at the still slowly wriggling rattan on the cave wall, quietly revealing a look of fear.

"Listen to me, Kevin. Maybe it's not a good idea. Kevin was about to turn around when Hagrid stepped forward.

"yes, why would you let a giant spider lead us away?" Clarence continued.

"I don't know why you believe it, but it's too dangerous anyway!" Jensen was also worried.

"That's what Phoenix meant. At least we haven't been in danger since then, shouldn't we trust him?" Kevin advised.

"But......" Hagrid stepped forward again.

"The problem now is that there is no way back. "Due to the previous destruction, the Forbidden Forest has managed to trap all life in it, and even Kevin can't get out. ”

"This ......" Hagrid hesitated a little when he heard this.

"Didn't you ever think that this is a swamp in the Forbidden Forest, where countless towering ancient trees grow, but they have not completely solidified the land, and there are mud mounds everywhere that can swallow you alive. Until now, however, you have not encountered a similar danger. Is this a coincidence?"

This question hit the pain point, and everyone fell into deep thought.

Kevin reacted first, turning his head to look at Phoenix on his shoulder, "You mean, it was the giant spider that drove us to safety? Why?"

Nodding, Phoenix looked at Hagrid, "You should know, right?"

“...... It's feeding their spiders. After a moment of hesitation, looking at the two teenagers beside him who were looking at him with a wistful expression, Hagrid told the truth truthfully, "That cave is the entrance to the giant spider's lair. ”

"Oh my God!" Clarence gasped.

"I want to go, Hagrid!" Jensen's attitude towards the Forbidden Forest took a big turn at this point.

"Me too, I don't want to stay here any longer!" Clarence chimed in, and the not-so-good memories of the past came flooding back to him.

"Giant spiders are familiar with the terrain, so they create a large number of tunnels that can connect in all directions. If you want to get out, you can only go through the tunnel. Glancing at the three people who were still hesitating on the other side, Phoenix sighed and continued, "Don't worry, this group has been used by me. ”

When the words fell, the three people on the opposite side looked at each other with big eyes, but none of them took a step. Seeing this, Phoenix shook his head, and then, Kevin took a stiff step and quickly walked into the cave. By the faint light, it was vaguely visible that the giant spider that had crawled out of the hole had stopped not far ahead, as if waiting for them.

"Of course, I also know that gaining the trust of others is not an easy task, and I don't expect you to trust me easily. However, I would like to remind you that it is still morning, and by the afternoon, when the temperature rises again, it is the time when poisonous insects and miasma are active. At that time, I can't go even if I want to. ”

Kevin's figure faded into the darkness, but Phoenix's voice came out of it, only fainter, almost inaudible.

Taking a deep breath, Hagrid looked down at the two teenagers beside him, and said with a serious face, "Promise me to stay by my side the whole time." Once you go out, go back, and don't follow any more!"

"Don't worry, we're thinking the same way!"

"Of course!"

Seeing this, Hagrid nodded, pulled out his cane with his backhand, and walked towards the cave first. The two teenagers followed suit.

At this time, Kevin was close to the end of the cave, he could faintly see the light coming from the opposite side, and his extraordinary vision directly saw the walls of the cave on the opposite side. Not far away is a vast underground space, but the specific situation is still waiting for Kevin to come out of the cave to see.

"Isn't that too much? Forcing them to make a choice. ”

"It's saving them, and you have to trust your teachers and friends. Seeing the sadness on Kevin's face, Phoenix smiled and comforted, "I can see that they are all enlightened people, and they can't be indistinguishable from the important." ”

As they spoke, they had reached the mouth of the cave. As far as the eye can see, it is an oval-shaped space, with holes in the walls all around. In the center of the lower part is a towering stone platform, under the stone platform is covered with white bones, among which there are clusters of mushrooms, a gust of wind blows, there is a wisp of powder swinging, I don't know whether it is bone meal, or spore powder.

The wind blew on his face, and a strong stench of feces hit, Kevin frowned and waved his hand, he fixed his eyes to see that the things wrapped around the roots of the glow mushrooms were the source of this stench. He quickly shifted his gaze to the top of the stone platform. There, a clump of green rattan was squirming on top of each other, as if it was wrapping something. This scene is almost stranger than anything I have just seen.

The next second, as if a flash of inspiration, he remembered something, and quickly turned his head to look at Phoenix on his shoulder. It was at this time that the giant spider that led the way reflexively came to him.

"Follow me. ”

It didn't seem to dare to stay in Kevin's presence for too long, and after a short sentence, it turned and walked away.

Kevin withdrew his gaze and turned his gaze to the front, where a long bridge made of spider silk broke into his eyes. The giant spiders who led the way, at some point, had already set up the road and led their way straight to another cave.

Kevin didn't step on it, but stood reflexively in place and began to wait.

"You want to fly them right over?"

"Well, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that it's safer...... Like them, I can't trust these giant spiders. ”

During the conversation, Kevin didn't notice that in the green vegetation behind him, four pairs of huge eyes were staring at him closely. At the same time, a pair of eyes quietly poked out from the caves on the walls. At that moment, Phoenix suddenly turned his head. The moment their eyes met, the eyes on the stone platform immediately turned to the other side, and the caves suddenly became empty.

"Perhaps, your concerns are justified. Turning around, Phoenix muttered.
