Harry Potter's Otherworldly Archmage

Chapter 67 Prelude to War

Grabbing the huge monster of the three of Augustus, they rampaged in the Forbidden Forest, moving fast in one direction, and many animals that could not avoid it were rushed away. Obviously, in this direction, no species dared to face it directly. Challenge this giant spider.

I don't know how long it took, but the darkness seemed to subside a little suddenly, and the ground covered with fallen leaves was now densely packed with spiders.The hollow was cleared of trees, and the stars lit up the most horrific sight he had ever seen in his life.

spider.Not like those little spiders crawling hurriedly among the fallen leaves below, but each one was as big as a cart horse, with eight eyes and eight legs, black and hairy, like giants.The gigantic spider carrying Augustus descended the steep slope toward a misty, hemispherical web in the center of the hollow, surrounded by its companions.When they saw what it was clamping, they moved their claws excitedly and made a clicking sound.

The spider let go of its claws, and Harry and Ron fell to the ground.Augustus also successfully landed in the clearing. The current situation is obvious. They have entered the spider's nest. Is this what Hagrid hoped to happen?Follow those little spiders and end up in the giant spider's lair deep in the Forbidden Forest?So now they have successfully arrived, but what will happen next?Could it be that he negotiated with these spiders and asked them to provide clues to the secret room?Augustus had allowed the spider to capture the three of them, because he also wanted to see what secrets were hidden in these spiders' lairs.

"What's the matter?" it said, clicking, and the two big claws moved quickly.

"Man," said the spider that had caught Harry just now.

"Is that Hagrid?" Aragog said, moving closer, his eight milky eyes staring blankly.

"It's a stranger," rattled the spider that had brought Augustus.

"Kill 'em," said Aragog irritably, click-click. "I'm sleeping.." "We're friends with Hagrid," Harry called.His heart seemed to be leaving his chest and jumping out of his throat.

Click, click, click, the claws of spiders moved all over the hollow.Aragog hesitated.

"We were indeed inspired to come here by Hagrid. He asked us to follow the spider into the Forbidden Forest. The obvious purpose was for us to come to you." Augustus looked at the giant spider in front of him with interest. , Such species are indeed rare in this world.

"Hagrid never sent anyone into our hollow before," it said slowly.

"Hagrid is in trouble." Augustus briefly explained, "That's why we came here according to the information he provided."

"Trouble?" said the old spider.Harry thought he heard some concern in the clicking of his pincers. "But why did he send you?"

"Our school has been very uneasy recently, and many students have been petrified in succession. The Ministry of Magic believes that Hagrid released something to attack the students, so now he has been taken to Azkaban." Augustus looked around Glancing at the surrounding situation, he said lightly.

Click, click, Aragog flapped his pincers angrily, and the sound was echoed by the swarm of spiders in the hollow; it was like applause, except the usual applause wouldn't make Harry gag with terror. "But that was many years ago," Aragog said angrily. "Many, many years ago. I remember it well. That's why they let him leave the school. They believed I was the monster that lived in what they called the Chamber of Secrets. They thought it was Hagrid who opened the Chamber of Secrets and let me out."

"Oh? So, that monster in the secret room is not you?" Augustus said slowly, staring at the giant spider in front of him.

"I!" said Aragog, clacking his pincers angrily, "I was not born in a castle. I came from a far country. A traveler sent me to Hagrid. Hagrid was only a child, but he took care of me, hid me in a cupboard in the castle, and fed me the crumbs that were on the table. Hagrid was a good friend of mine, and he A good man. He protected me when people found me and held me accountable for a girl's death. I've lived in the woods ever since, and Hagrid came to see me often. He even And found me a wife—Mossag. You see how prosperous our family is, and it's all thanks to Hagrid..."

"So, the monster in the Chamber of Secrets is someone else? Since Hagrid asked us to find you, then you must know what is in the Chamber of Secrets." Augustus said with a smile, and the old spider also It's really unfortunate that he didn't do anything, but became the scapegoat for the monster in the secret room, and had to hide in the depths of the forbidden forest, living a life of fear every day.

"The guy that lived in the castle," said Aragog, "was an ancient creature that we spiders fear most. I remember well pleading with Hagrid when I sensed the beast moving about the school. let me go."

Natural enemies of spiders?It should be known that in the natural chain, there are many natural enemies of spiders. If you rely on guesswork alone, you will never be able to guess what it is. It seems that for the current plan, you must get something out of this old spider.

"What is the ancient creature you are afraid of, describe it in detail." Augustus said in an orderly tone, he really didn't want to waste any more time haggling with a spider.

"We won't tell!" said Aragog vehemently. "We won't tell its name! I didn't even tell Hagrid the name of that horrible creature, though he asked me, many times."

The spiders gathered from all directions, and Aragog didn't seem to want to talk anymore.It retreated slowly into his hemispherical web, but his fellow spiders were still moving slowly, inch by inch, toward Harry and Ron.

Harry tugged on Augustus's long sleeve, then called to Aragog, "In this case, let's go first." At the same time, he heard the rustling of the tree behind him. "Go?" Aragog said leisurely, "I don't think..." "But—but—" "My sons and daughters obeyed my orders and did not harm Hagrid. But fresh human flesh came to the door automatically, I can't stop them from enjoying it. Farewell, Hagrid's friend.."

interesting?In other words, this spider is going to use its numerical advantage to encircle and suppress them.A smile appeared in Augustus's silver pupils, and the corners of his mouth curved into a perfect arc.Haven't tried the feeling of being surrounded for a long time?When was the last time, maybe that funny Imperial War.
