Chapter 447 Spider and Snake
Fang Ze's words made Ron more and more dissatisfied with Harry and Dumbledore.

All because of that damn prophecy.

Ron thought angrily in his heart.

If he was the Son of Prophecy, maybe he would have become the savior praised by people by now.

But after thinking about it, life still has to go on. Although the relationship between Ron and Harry has hit a trough now, both of them have a common goal, which is to find the reason why people in the school are petrified, and to wash away the two. The current body of suspicion.

But this is not an easy task, because there are two clues about being petrified, one is the origin of Ron's magic spell, and the other is Parseltongue.

But both Ron and Harry were sure that they did not use any method to attack their classmates, let alone their good friend Hermione who was attacked.

Fortunately, not long after, Harry found a clue, which was the big spider that Hagrid had raised.

Harry didn't say where he learned that Hagrid was suspected of being the real culprit of the petrification case because he kept spiders, and Ron didn't bother to ask him.

After all, Ron can guess without his brain now that Dumbledore must be helping Harry after the farewell, and there is only one unreliable businessman behind Ron.

This gap is really too big.

Since Ron finished talking with Fang Ze, he has thought about taking away Harry's brilliance.

Now there is not much difference between him and Harry. Both of them have participated in the protection of the Philosopher's Stone, and now both of them are suspected of being the real culprits of the student petrification case.

Therefore, as long as Ron reveals the truth before Harry, he will replace Harry as the new hero.

Dumbledore might turn to trying to develop himself instead.

Ron's happy fantasy.

At night, Harry and Ron waited for the closing sound of the dormitory door twice in the distance, then grabbed the Invisibility Cloak, put it on, and crawled out through the portrait hole.

The journey through the castle is also very difficult, and you have to do everything possible to avoid the teacher.At last they reached the hall, slipped behind the locks of the two oak doors, squeezed their way through the crack, trying not to creak, and out onto the moonlit grounds.

"How," said Ron suddenly, as they strode across the dark grass, "we might get into the woods and I'll have nothing to keep track of. Those spiders probably didn't go there at all. I You know, they seemed to be moving in that direction at the time, but.."

He didn't go on, leaving Harry with a little hope.

They came to Hagrid's cabin and looked at the dark windows sadly and sadly.Harry pushed the door open, and Fang was ecstatic when he saw them.Fearing that his deep, deep barking would wake the castle, they hastened to feed him fudge from a tin on the mantelpiece, and stuck his teeth together.

Harry put the Invisibility Cloak on Hagrid's table.It is useless in the dark woods.

"Come on, Fang, let's go for a walk." Harry said, patting its hind legs.Fang happily followed them out of the hut, toward the edge of the woods, and crossed a leg beside a large sycamore fig tree.

Harry took out his wand and murmured, "Lumos!" and there was a thin beam of light from the tip of the wand, just long enough for them to watch for any spiders in the road.

They entered the woods, Fang running around them, sniffing roots and leaves as they went.By the light of Harry's wand, they followed the spider that continued to crawl across the path.After walking for about 10 minutes, no one spoke, but listened carefully to see if there were any other sounds besides the snapping of branches and the rustling of leaves.Then the trees grew thicker, and the stars overhead were no longer visible.Harry's wand was glimmering alone in the endless darkness when they noticed that the spider guides had strayed off the path.

Harry stopped in his tracks, trying to see where the spider was moving, but beyond the range illuminated by the faint light, there was darkness beyond reach.He had never been so deep in the middle of the woods before.He vividly recalled Hagrid telling him not to stray from the forest path the last time he was in the woods.But Hagrid was thousands of miles away at the moment, probably sitting in Azkaban's cell, and he had said he would follow the spider.

Something touched Harry's hand, and he jumped backwards, stamping on Ron's foot, which turned out to be Fang's nose.

"What do you think?" Harry said to Ron.He could just make out Ron's eyes, the dim light of his wand reflected in their pupils.

"We've come this far," said Ron.

So they followed the shadow of the spider galloping into the bushes.They could not go very fast now, and were so full of roots and stumps that they blocked the way and were almost invisible in the near-black light.Harry could feel Fang's hot breath on his hands.They were forced to stop more than once, and Harry crouched down, looking for signs of spiders by the light of his wand.

It looked like they had been walking for at least half an hour, their clothes often getting caught on low branches and thorny vines.After a while they noticed that the ground seemed to be sloping down, though the trees were still as thick as before.

Fang suddenly let out a loud bark that echoed through the woods, scaring Harry and Ron out of their wits.

"What?" said Ron loudly, looking out into the darkness and grabbing Harry's elbow hard.

"There's something moving in there," gasped Harry. "It sounds like a big thing."

They listen carefully.Some distance to their right, the big thing was cutting its way through the bushes, snapping off numerous branches.

They stood there, waiting in horror, the darkness seemed to oppress their eyeballs.Suddenly there was a rumbling sound, followed by silence.

"What do you think it's doing?" Harry asked.

"Probably ready to pounce." Ron said as he took out his wand from his sleeve, ready to cast a magic strike at any time.

"Do you think it's gone?" Harry whispered.

"I don't know." Ron said while looking around warily.

At this time, on their right, a blinding light suddenly lit up, blindingly bright in the darkness, and both of them raised their hands to shield their eyes.Fang Ya roared and wanted to escape, but was caught by a thorn, and screamed louder.

"Harry!" Ron shouted, his voice choked with relief, "Harry, it's our car!"

"What?" "Come on!"

Harry followed Ron, stumbling toward the light, tripping and tripping along the way.After a while, they came to a clearing.

Mr. Weasley's car was parked in the middle of a circle of dense trees, covered with dense intertwined branches and leaves. There was no one in the car, and the headlights were shining brightly.As Ron walked towards it with his mouth open, it moved slowly towards him, like a big turquoise dog greeting its master.

"So it's been here all along!" said Ron delightedly, pacing up and down the car. "Look at it, the woods have turned it wild.'' The car's wings are scratched and covered with mud. Apparently it has formed a habit of moving alone in the woods. Fang doesn't seem to be interested in him at all; Harry followed Harry. Harry could feel it trembling. Harry's breathing slowly calmed down again, and he retracted his wand into his robes.

"We thought it was going to attack us!" Ron said, leaning against the car, and patted it. "I never knew where it went!"

Harry squinted his eyes and continued to look for the shadows of the spiders on the illuminated ground, but they all hurriedly avoided the glare of the headlights and disappeared. "We've lost track," he said. "Come on, let's find the spiders..." Ron didn't speak or move.His eyes were fixed on Harry's back, ten feet above the ground.His face was livid, and fear was vividly written on his face.

Harry didn't even have time to turn around.Hearing a loud clicking sound, he suddenly felt a long, hairy thing pick him up by the middle, making him hang face down in the air.He was struggling, terrified, and then he heard the rattling sound again, and he saw Ron's legs leave the ground too, and he heard Fang whine, growl, and then he was dragged into the dark bushes.

With his head hanging upside down, Harry saw that the thing that had grabbed him had six fantastically long, hairy legs, with two more in front of him clamping tightly around him, and above them were a pair of big shiny black sting.Behind him, he could hear another such animal, apparently holding Ron.They are moving towards the center of the woods.Harry heard Fang whining, struggling to free himself from the third monster, but Harry couldn't do it even if he wanted to, he seemed to have left his voice in the clearing with the car.

He didn't know how long he had been in the animal's claws; he only knew that the darkness seemed to recede a little suddenly, and he saw that the leaf-strewn ground was now densely populated with spiders.He twisted his neck away and found that they had come to the edge of a wide depression cleared of trees and lit by the stars in the most horrible 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 giant spider with Harry in its arms made its way down the steep slope toward a misty, hemispherical web in the very 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 fell to the ground.Ron and Fang also fell hard beside him.Fang Fang no longer roared, but quietly curled up without moving.Ron looked and felt exactly like Harry.His mouth was wide open, as if screaming silently, and his eyes were bulging outward.Harry suddenly became aware that the spider that had thrown him was talking.It's not easy to hear because it rattles its claws with every word it says.

"Aragok!" it cried, "Aragok!"

From the midst of the misty, hemispherical web, very slowly emerged a spider the size of a small elephant.Its body and legs were black and gray, and each eye was clouded with white over its hideous, clawed head.It is blind.

"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 Ron.

"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.

"Hagrid never sent anyone into our hollow before," it said slowly. "Hagrid's in trouble," said Harry, breathing very rapidly, "that's why we're here." "Trouble?" said the old spider.Harry thought he heard some concern in the clicking of his pincers. "But why did he send you?"

Harry wanted to stand up, but decided to stay on his stomach; he didn't think his legs could support his weight.He lay on the ground and spoke as calmly as possible. "At school, they thought Hagrid let out a, a, something to harm the students recently. They took him to Azkaban."

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." "You didn't come out of the Chamber of Secrets, then?" Harry asked, feeling a puff on his forehead. There was a layer of cold sweat.

"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 been living in the woods ever since, and Hagrid has come to see me often.

He even found me a wife, Mossag.You see how prosperous our family is, and it's all thanks to Hagrid."

Harry mustered what little courage he had left. "Then you never... never attacked anyone?" "No," said the old spider bitterly, "I have the instinct, but out of respect for Hagrid, I never hurt a person." .The body of the murdered girl was found in a bathroom. And I never saw any part of the castle except the cupboard I grew up in. We spiders like darkness and silence''"But at the time.. Do you know what killed that girl?" said Harry, "because whatever it was, it's back to attacking people now??"

"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."

"What is it?" Harry asked eagerly.The clicking sound got louder, Sessie's sloppy voice became denser, and the spiders seemed to be closing in on them. "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."

Harry didn't want to push the subject any further, especially with the spiders gathering from all directions.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.

"Let's go then," Harry called desperately to Aragog, hearing the rustle of the trees behind him. "Go?" Aragog said leisurely, "I don't think so..." "But, but," "My sons and daughters obeyed my orders and did not harm Hagrid. But fresh human flesh is automatically delivered to the door, I can't Stop them from enjoying it. Farewell, friend of Hagrid...”

Aragog's words terrified Harry and Ron, who never imagined that meeting a friend of Hagrid's would cost them their lives.

Ron has a wand in his hand, and at the same time he can also use the powerful black magic sword, but the dense spider webs make Ron feel fearful and powerless. No matter how powerful he is, it is difficult to deal with so many spiders at once.

"Young man, do you want a deal?" Fang Ze's voice suddenly appeared in Ron's mind.

"Yes, no matter what you pay, please help me drive these spiders out now." Ron yelled at Fang Ze.

"Think clearly, the price may be so high that you have to pay a painful price." Fang Ze said.

"It's better than losing my life now!" Ron yelled in his head.

"Then the deal is concluded," Fang Ze said.

A lot of knowledge flowed into Ron's mind like a tide, because there were too many kinds of knowledge such as magic spells contained in it, so Ron had a feeling that his brain was about to explode.

Because Ron is too young now, even if he has learned many magic spells, his strength must not be comparable to those of adult magicians, let alone deal with so many spiders.

Therefore, Fang Ze directly injected a drop of demigod-level snake demon blood that had been exchanged from the 800 million fairy world into Ron's body to help Ron strengthen his physical fitness so that he would be able to receive a huge amount of knowledge at once.

But what Fang Ze didn't expect was that after Ron absorbed the snake blood, his body began to mutate rapidly.
