  Chapter 147 Unreliable Rescue

efficient!

   Seeing that the dancing spell had a miraculous effect on the acromantula, Albert couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and continued to use the dancing spell on the acromantula in front of him.

  Although the loss of control of the two legs would affect the action of the giant spider, it still rushed towards Albert, trying to tear the prey in front of it to pieces.

  Albert had been prepared for a long time. When the acromantula rushed towards him, he quickly used "all protection" to expand the protective barrier. This unlucky big spider hit the invisible barrier again and was directly ejected.

   This time, the big spider fell a bit badly. Because Albert cast a dancing spell on a few feet, it was still shaking wildly, and it just couldn't get up from the ground in the first place.

  Albert immediately released the protective barrier, and continued to use the dancing spell on the acromantula while it was still struggling.

After being hit by several dancing spells, the acromantula just got up and found that its eight legs were completely out of control. It was like being put on skating boots. The eight legs kept shaking and fell on the spot. The scene was once very funny .

"Spiders are definitely not suitable for tap dancing." Albert grumbled, pulled back a distance, and began to tilt all the attack spells he knew on the acromantula, completely freeing the funny spider in front of him. So as not to lose face in front of its other companions.

  Actually, Albert's process of solving the acromantia was not as easy as imagined. The giant arachnid is considered to be a magical creature cultivated by ancient wizards. This kind of creature is not weak against magic, and ordinary spells have no obvious effect on them.

   Moreover, they are usually created to guard wizards' homes or treasures, so they are very good at hunting stealers quietly.

  One-on-one, it still takes some courage to face this kind of monster. Even adult wizards are not even as good as Albert when facing these big spiders.

  After all, not all wizards are able to open...well, use the defensive enchantment smoothly like Albert.

  Incantations are also difficult and easy.

  The commonly used luminous spell is relatively easy to master, and the difficulty of upgrading to level 2 is much lower than other spells.

   This spell is often used, and it is also very easy to master.

  The Iron Armor Curse, which is highly usable, is of medium difficulty. The "Full Protection" that is a variant of the Iron Armor Curse is obviously more difficult to learn than the former.

One of the benefits of adding points to the system is that Albert can easily master those difficult magics and use them skillfully. After the skill level is higher, the power of magic can be made stronger and more magic can be evolved. patterns.

  This can directly omit the exploration and experimentation of magic.

   "Unfortunately, it was a waste." Albert looked at the monster in front of him and muttered softly. He knew that the monster in front of him should be able to extract the venom of the acromantia. It was a very precious liquid, and a pint could be sold for a hundred Galleons, or even higher on the black market.

  However, Albert also knew that he did not have the courage and ability to deal with the acromantula in front of him.

"never mind!"

  Albert regretted that he missed a large amount of Galleons. He opened the task panel, chose to complete "Anger's Counterattack", and directly upgraded the "Spider Repelling Curse" to level 2 on the skill panel.

  The feeling of adding dots is really amazing, knowledge is generated out of thin air.

  Albert closed his eyes, and carefully recalled the information about the spider-dispelling spell that appeared in his brain. He raised his wand and waved it lightly at the motionless acromantula:

   "AraniaExumai (Arania Exumai)."

  A dazzling magic light hit the giant eight-eyed spider, instantly knocking the big spider into the air, and leaving serious scars on the spider.

   "The damage of this spell is directly max," Albert couldn't help but sigh, "It really deserves to be a spell specially used against spiders."

  After mastering the Spider Scattering Curse, Albert felt a little more confident, at least when facing the acromantula, he would not feel restrained.

   "Wait for me," he muttered, "I'll turn you all over."

  Albert was just about to move on, but stopped because he found a new task appeared on his panel:

  Spider Hunter.

  You have never been a reassuring person, let alone forgive the big guys who want to eat you, defeat or kill them, and let these dark, hairy big guys understand who not to mess with.

  Current progress: 0/20.

  Reward: 10,000 experience, item: 1 bottle of Acromantus venom, title: Spider Hunter, reputation in the magic world +200.

  After Albert finished reading the task, the muscles on his face twitched slightly. This system really holds grudges!

   Well, that's right.

   After all, he is a good man, how could he hold a grudge?

   "Ya Ya, we should go." Albert squatted down, raised his hand and rubbed Ya Ya's head, and said softly, "You have to help me watch my surroundings, and don't let me be attacked by those big spiders."

  Yes, this is what Albert is most worried about right now.

   Fortunately, although the hound Yaya is timid, his vigilance is still reliable, and he can always sound the alarm at the first time.

  Albert and Yaya traveled further, and finally came across an open space. He hesitated for a moment, then raised his wand and shot green sparks into the sky.

   At this moment, the night in the Forbidden Forest was lit up by sparks.

   At the moment when the green fire was lit, many creatures in the Forbidden Forest looked up to the direction where the sparks rose.

  Albert's adventure was worth it, and red sparks lit up above the forest.

  Fred and George also realized that someone was coming to save them, so they fired red sparks to guide the professors who rescued them.

  Unfortunately, the twins guessed wrong. It was not the professor in the school who came to save them, but their roommate and friend Albert Anderson.

  At this moment, Albert also encountered some troubles. As he went deeper into the forest, the number of acromantulas he encountered began to increase.

   "Alanya Artemis!"

  As the sound of the spider retreating spell sounded, a white light lit up in the dark forest again, and another spider was knocked into the air by the spell, fell to the ground and couldn't get up again.

   "Am I going to break into the spider's lair?" Albert looked around at the fallen acromanders whose life and death were unknown, and couldn't help muttering.

   Along the way, Albert didn't know how many acromantulas he had knocked over, and even he himself was too lazy to keep counting them.

  The situation is not very optimistic. Big spiders often appear around him without warning and attack him. If it weren't for Fang Fang's alarm, Albert would have been eaten by the acromantula long ago.

  Acromantula is a ferocious predator, almost silent when ambushing its prey.

   After repeatedly confirming that there was no danger around, Albert fired green sparks into the sky again. He felt that the distance between himself and the Weasley brothers should not be far away.

   Fangya’s condition is not very good either, it can’t adapt to Apparation, and it’s a little wobbly when walking.

  Apparation was used several times in a row, and Albert was also uncomfortable. He vomited out all the chocolate he ate not long ago.

   It is thanks to the tenacity of the will that I can still keep my brain clear!

   Of course, this has something to do with level 2 Apparation.

   "Are they trapped?" Albert looked at the red sparks above the night sky and said to himself.

  The distance between the two sides has not shortened much. If the Weasley brothers also moved in this direction, the two sides should have met earlier.

  Albert was still heading towards the direction where the red sparks were shining, and after crossing a collapsed tree, he suddenly stopped.

   Not far away, there were a bunch of rattling and rustling sounds.

  Albert already recognized what it was, the sound made by the acromantula when it moved. However, this is how many spiders it takes to make such a clear and dense sound.

  Albert immediately pressed Fangya to prevent him from barking, so as not to attract the acromantula in front of him. To be honest, Albert doesn't know how the acromantula obtains external sounds.

   "Be quiet, Yaya, don't scream, if you are besieged by spiders, you will die." Albert patted Fangya lightly, and after earnestly admonishing him, he quietly moved forward.

  The next moment, the expression on Albert's face froze.

  He saw a scene that shocked him, an army of spiders.

   A bunch of acromantulas were surrounding a big tree, and the Weasley brothers Albert was looking for were hanging on the tree, struggling to deal with the acromantulas who tried to approach them.

  Albert has already guessed what kind of tree it is. Only the guardian tree can have this magical effect. It is rumored that as long as you touch the trunk of the guardian tree, you can be protected from the attack of dark creatures.

  However, there are no absolutes in the world.

  In normal times, the acromantula would stay away from the guardian tree. But it is different now, fresh flesh and blood are automatically delivered to the door, and the effect of the guardian tree is not so obvious under the temptation of food.

  More and more giant acromantids are trying to attack the guardian tree, trying to drive the humans hiding in the tree down. As long as the human beings leave the guardian tree, they can hunt their targets recklessly and enjoy the blood and flesh.

   Temptation, sometimes people can really become fearless, and it is obviously very useful to apply these words to the acromantula.

   "Hold on, someone is coming, the Hogwarts professor is here to save us." George screamed loudly, raising his wand and shooting red sparks into the sky, pointing the way to the professor who came to rescue them.

   "Don't be distracted, those big spiders are coming up again." Fred shouted.

   "Block it, don't let them get close." When George faced these big spiders that were about to lead him to collapse, he could only cheer himself up through self-encouragement.

  The current situation is not optimistic. The giant spiders are attacking the guardian tree more and more frequently. Only when the two of them use the obstacle spell together can they repel the acromantula.

   Fortunately, not all acromantulas dared to attack the guardian tree, otherwise the Weasley brothers would have become a delicious meal for these giant spiders.

   "What should I do to save you?" Albert looked at his wand, then looked in the direction of the Weasley brothers, muttering to himself.

  If there were not many acromantulas, Albert would have the confidence to forcibly kill them and bring out the Weasley brothers, but the current situation is very bad!

Albert feels that even if he knows how to use the Spider Scattering Curse, it is impossible to face such an army of spiders at the same time. Unless the Spider Scattering Curse is upgraded to a higher level to make the effect of the spell more extensive, otherwise it is possible to take them out of the spider army. Deus Ex.

   Albert knows how much he has.

  Actually, it’s not completely impossible. If you use apparition, you should be able to apparate yourself, and then apparate the two of them away.

  This final insurance is still very reliable, but... Albert doesn't want to be exposed if possible, because he can't explain why he Apparated.

genius?

  Genius probably won't do either!

  His use of ancient runes is probably suspicious enough. If it can be explained by language genius, how can apparition be explained!

  Can we just wait?

   Albert glanced at his experience pool, then opened the Spider Hunter task panel, the current progress: 20/20.

  After receiving the spider hunter experience, Albert's sight fell on another new task that appeared.

   Spider Killer.

  You already have some experience in dealing with big spiders, try to defeat as many acromantulas as possible, and let it know who it has provoked.

   Current progress:: 0

   Reward: 50 points for each.

  Albert was speechless when he saw this task. He really never thought that there would be a monster spawning task, but it seems that this monster is not easy to spawn.

   No, there is a way.

  If I hid on the guardian tree with the twins, wouldn't I be able to card monsters slowly?

   However, there is still a big problem.

  How did I get there?

   It is not easy to break through the siege of the spider army.

If you want to rush over, you need to open a gap, which can be done by the spider retreat spell, but how to rush over without being surrounded on the way is not easy. There is still a distance between here and that tree. If you want to go safely, you need …create a barrier.

   Undoubtedly, the flame is the most suitable. Creating a flame channel can not only expel the surrounding acromantia, but also illuminate the surroundings to avoid tripping when running.

  But...my own Flame Curse is only level 1, so I can't do what Albert wants.

   Albert gritted his teeth and raised the Flame Curse to level 2.

   "Fight hard, as long as you fight more monsters, you won't suffer."

"Yaya, remember to follow me closely later, don't fall behind!" Albert told softly, he couldn't help but clenched his wand tightly, took a deep breath, and suddenly jumped out from his hiding place, towards the eight-eyed giants around the guardian tree. The spider shoots the spider back and disperses.

  At this moment, in the field of vision of Fred and George, streaks of dazzling white light suddenly fell on the spider swarm, and the army of spiders that had surrounded the guardian tree was torn apart forcibly.

   Those big spiders that they thought were difficult to deal with were even knocked down by spells.

   Both of them were a little confused, and they didn't figure out what happened.

  The next second, a large number of flames suddenly burst out in the forest, and these flames turned into two flaming walls of fire, spreading towards the guardian tree, successfully isolating the big spider from the wall of fire.

  Everything came so suddenly, the twins who were stunned for a moment soon realized that someone was coming to save them.

  The two were about to get down from the guardian tree, but they were stopped by a voice.

   Someone is yelling this way: "Don't come down."

  Fred and George were stunned and looked at each other. Why was this voice so familiar?

  Could it be...

   Thanks to Aojian Kuangfeng for the 40,000 rewards
