Chapter 115: Centaurs

"Did you find anything?" Kevin immediately asked.

"It's fine. Seeing the three Hagrid gradually emerge from the darkness, Phoenix commanded, "You wait here first, and I'll take care of it." ”

After saying that, he flapped his wings and flew straight to the stone platform. At this moment, the wriggling amplitude of the rattan suddenly accelerated, and a sharp hissing sound followed. Kevin glanced at it, then turned around and waved vigorously at the three who suddenly hesitated.

"Maybe my previous methods were too gentle. ”

A wisp of dark green blood spilled out of the giant spider's mouthparts, dripping down the giant jaw onto the stone platform, steaming with a fishy smell. Looking directly at the giant spider's dim compound eyes, Phoenix's tone was cold.

When the words fell, the rattans suddenly pulled away one after another, and collapsed on the stone platform. After a while, the original clump of rattan collapsed and covered the entire stone platform.

"Ho-hoo!

The giant spider was lying in the middle of these rattans, its abdomen full of indentations, constantly expanding and contracting with heavy breathing. The blood that had been shed before spread out, and the rattan that had been touched was scorched and withered in the blink of an eye, and at the same time there was a popping sound, and a new pungent smell began to waft in all directions.

"Ahem!"

I don't know if it smelled the scorching smell or was stimulated by the pain in its body, the giant spider didn't catch a breath, and coughed tremblingly in the next second.

Phoenix was unmoved, and when he saw that his cough was slowing down, he said coldly: "Queen Spider, you will lead the way this time." ”

"Listen to your commands. ”

After recovering from his recovery, the spider leaned down, carefully avoiding the rattan at his feet, facing Phoenix, and retreated step by step from the stone platform. Pointy feet landed on the bones with a click, and the spider queen turned and walked towards the other end of the spider silk bridge. At this time, in the blind spot of everyone's sight, its giant jaw suddenly and quickly vibrate.

The nest was still silent, and its movements did not make a single movement. However, after only a few seconds, the spider queen stopped what she was talking about, and hurriedly quickened her pace, burying her head in the cave at the head of the spider silk bridge. When passing by other holes, the compound eyes of the spider could clearly catch two swaying greens, but it did not dare to stay at all.

Meanwhile, Phoenix once again landed on Kevin's shoulders. Seeing the three people in front of him, he nodded and said, "Kevin, let's go." ”

......

"Whew, finally the sun!"

The sun was shining brightly, and Kevin opened his arms and looked relaxed. The surrounding jungle was much sparser than before, and as far as he could see the snow-covered branches, Kevin could see the mountains in the distance.

"It seems that the fog tastes unpleasant to you. Phoenix laughed.

Hearing this, Kevin glanced back behind him, and a wall of fog not far away was impressive, along with the fog above the forest, like a cover, covering the entire forbidden forest.

He laughed to himself, turned back and asked, "Where are we going next?"

"Go over the mountains and go to the north. ”

Kevin looked out over at the mountains, where the pine forests stretched up from the base of the mountain to the mountainside, and up again, replaced by snow. And what about the back side of the mountain? As he looked at the mountains, he quickly remembered the scene on the other side.

What's over there? Or what's waiting for me?

"Come and help, Kevin. Jensen and I can't hold on!"

As he was swimming, Clarence's voice pulled him back to reality, Kevin turned his head to see Hagrid lying at the entrance of the cave in a trance, and Clarence and Jensen were pulling left and right, for fear that Hagrid would slide into the cave.

However, at this time, Kevin's attention is not here. A strange light came into view, and in his sight, the spider retracted into the shadows as if pacing, and the sunlight shone on its compound eyes without any signs of trembling. Until the last moment, it was still staring straight at Kevin and his party.

"Wow!"

Grabbing his arm, Kevin reached out and pulled it, and Hagrid flew out of the force, splashing a circle of snowflakes as he landed. Clarence and Jensen, on the other hand, were lying on the ground, panting and covered in fine sweat.

"The ...... in the eyes just now"

"You noticed it too?"

"What's it going to do badly?"

"It's okay, take it one step at a time. ”

As Kevin and Phoenix spoke, Hagrid staggered to his feet.

"Oh, it's so whirling in there, it really makes me dizzy. As he spoke, he tapped his head, and when he came back to his senses, he whipped the snow off his beard and grumbled, "And it's stuffy, I mean, for giants." ”

"It's okay, it's finally out. Clarence sat up with a force, looking at the fog in the distance and the sun around him, his words full of joy.

"No, no, the school isn't here! look!" said Jensen, who turned his head with a look of surprise in his eyes, pointing into the distance with one hand.

Clarence hurriedly followed, and the next second, the joy on his face turned to frustration, and he exclaimed, "Oh! no!

"This is where you shouldn't be!"

An unfamiliar voice came, and everyone followed the voice, and out of the trunk came a half-man, half-horse creature, with a bow and arrows in his hand, and four hooves stamping to and fro on the ground.

Hagrid froze in place, the sharp arrows aimed at them, and only for a moment on each of them, as if they were going to find their target in the next second. At the moment when he saw the centaur blinking, Kevin tiptoed a little, and suddenly noticed that Phoenix was staring at him on his shoulder, so he stopped his follow-up movements and stood silently in place.

At this time, the centaur looked panicked, this situation was the first time for him, under the tension, he gasped heavily, and his hands holding the bow and arrows trembled slightly. At this moment, a hand quietly reached over, and before he knew it, he was already grasping the arrow that was tightly pressed against the bowstring.

"Don't be afraid, they are Hogwarts teachers and students, not villains. ”

The wind howled by, rolling up the snow on the trees, and scattering it one after another, making people dazzled. Then the wind and snow stopped, and at this time, the men and horses who appeared earlier had put down their bows and arrows, and beside him, a group of people and horses appeared at some point, facing Kevin and his party, staring intently.

First, a wrinkled, old-looking man let go of the arrow in his hand, stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry, no outsiders have ever broken into our clan's sacrificial place before, the young clansman overreacted, didn't scare you, right?"

As the words fell, Hagrid stepped forward, he tugged at the hem of his shirt, bowed slightly, and said, "It's okay, actually, it's us who should say sorry." ”

"I foresaw a half-giant with three minor children breaking into the Forbidden Forest twice, and I foresaw that they would be forced to enter the lair of giant spiders. Finally, I foresaw that they would be led to our sacrificial station by the sinister Mosag. Mosag tries to cause conflict between humans and centaurs, but he forgets that we have a gift for divination. ”

"Oh, I remember, she was the wife I introduced to Aragog, and after all these years, my old friend had long since died, and I thought that the giant spiders had also changed queens. Hagrid scratched his head, "So ...... said?"

When the old man saw Clarence and Jensen, the two frightened teenagers, he smiled inexplicably and said funny: "So, the apology should be for the old woman Mosag." ”

The two teenagers were stunned for a moment, and when they understood the mockery in the old man's words, they couldn't help laughing, and the haze in their hearts was suddenly cleared.

"Oh, I also remember one thing. Feeling relaxed, Clarence suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said in surprise, "It is recorded in the history of the school that the divination class in our school was once taught by a person. ”

"Emerald?" Hagrid remembered.

"Your old friend again?" said Jensen, with a strange expression, "Now, it's not surprising that you have a friend who is a dragon. ”

"Hahaha! It seems that you don't need me to open your mouth, you have already found a good reception for yourself. The old man stroked the goatee under his chin, and when he saw that Hagrid's clothes were dirty and wrinkled, he turned and said, "Are you tired?" Before you go back, rest for a while. ”

As the words fell, the old man and the horse had already walked away, and a group of people followed him, following in the same direction.

"That's right, Kevin. I don't know how you just negotiated with those giant spiders?" On the way over, Jensen couldn't help but speak, "For me, who is known as a jack of all trades, this is a very worthwhile study. ”

Kevin shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands and said, "As soon as I landed, I rushed to you, and I also knew about the negotiation." ”

Hearing this, Jensen's thoughts turned sharply, and he looked at Kevin's shoulder in the next second, and said firmly: "Phoenix, did you do the right thing?"

"It's a little trick, plus those giant spiders are smart enough. ”

"Teach me!please!" Jensen looked excited and expectant.

"Oh, you can't learn that. ”
