Malfoy was distracted for a moment, and suddenly there was a sharp pain in the right arm holding the wand. He was bitten by the acromantula, right where Buckbeak had attacked him last time.
But this time, it was no longer a deep and long cut, but a narrow and short gap-shaped wound.
In fact, not even much blood flowed from the wound, but it was even more deadly.
The giant claws of the acromantula were poisonous, and the blood from Malfoy's wound soon turned a strange green.
"Help, I'm dying!" he screamed, dropping his wand.
But no one could save him. Goyle and Crabbe were both caught by the acromantula. They struggled violently with their heads down, and were tightly held by the two hairy long legs of the two acromantulas. Clamped on the ground and dragged towards the center of the forest.
Not surprisingly, they will be food.
Ever since the little wizard at Hogwarts started an all-out battle with the acromantia, the acromantia suffered heavy losses. In addition to Ivan's fire last time, human beings have become their mortal enemies.Hagrid also told Ivan about this in a few days. Aragog no longer meets him now, and the descendants of the acromantula even started to attack him.
This situation has absolutely never happened before.
Aragog has completely fallen, becoming a wizard and an enemy of Hogwarts.
Under such a situation of almost all-out war, they would naturally not refuse the raw meat delivered to their door.
Goyle and Crabbe, who are fat, may be stored first. As for the bitten Malfoy, of course, they should hurry up and eat them.
You know, dead meat tastes bad!
But before that, take them to meet Aragog, and then it's time to enjoy delicious food.
Chapter 298 To save or not to save
Aiwen quickly found the trick of riding the hippogriff, as long as he clamped Buckbeak's two sides with his heels, he could be firmly fixed on it.
Huge wings fluttered beside him, and he tried to loosen his arms around Buckbeak's neck.
Apart from a slight fainting feeling that arises from time to time, there is no other discomfort.
Instead, he feels like he's becoming more and more comfortable.
He is better suited for high-altitude flying with a hippogriff than with a broomstick that is difficult to master.
They followed the air current and entered the Forbidden Forest from the sky.
Through the floating clouds under his feet, Aiwen saw a large area of trees.
He had seen the scene before him countless times from the top of the castle.But because of the different angles, the feeling is completely different.Observing the Forbidden Forest from top to bottom at a close distance, the continuous trees with invisible edges and the towering ancient trees can make people feel more shocked and immersed in the greatness of nature.
However, before Ivan could fully appreciate it, the trees in front of him began to become sparse, as if a piece had been forcibly dug away.
The color of the tree trunk gradually turned an unhealthy gray, and this was the territory of the acromantula.
In the corner, a few giant spiders slowly crawled out from the hidden shadows. They vigilantly observed the unsuspecting visitors above their territory.
Aiwen hurriedly bent down and lay on Buckbeak.
click, click...
After discovering that the intruder was just a Hippogriff, the acromantulas in charge of guarding back slowly retreated, hiding in the darkness again.
As a relatively common species in the Forbidden Forest, although there are very few hippogriffs that intrude into the territory of the acromantula, it is not absolute.
They didn't find Ivan sitting on Buckbeak's back, and they didn't notify Aragog and the other acromantulas to defend.
Relying on Buckbeak, Aiwen sneaked in smoothly without being discovered, and his plan succeeded.
They flew towards the center of the acromantula's territory, and Ivan poked his head out to observe Aragog's lair carefully while Buckbeak was flapping his wings.
He hasn't been here since the fire a few months ago.
As we continued to go deeper, the scenery in front of us became more and more shocking.
It was completely different from the time he came last time. In the core area of the acromantula's territory, it was difficult to see trees on the ground, as if it had been swept away by a tornado and corroded by something. All turned dark gray, with a few hints of red intermittently revealed.
White spider webs, animal bones, and traces of destruction can be seen everywhere. Looking down from the sky, the depression in Aragog's lair is deeply sunken deep into the surface, filled with irregular folds and gullies. Among them, it looks extremely strange.
The thick leaves are no longer visible on the ground, and the scorched black, dull sand seems to have a film on the surface.
Even at a height of several hundred feet, the air still smelled of burnt leaves, soil, and raw meat, as well as a strong smell of blood...
The most striking thing is the huge hemispherical spider web at the entrance of the nest.
It looked bigger than ever, and it was densely covered with dead animals of all kinds.
In it, Ivan even saw the corpse of a centaur!
He was placed in the most prominent position, as if to demonstrate to the intruders.
In the lair, a faint, milky white mist emerged from it from time to time, like a crater, faintly blowing the smell of blood to the entire depression.
The scene in front of him was too terrifying. The fire that Aiwen suffered a few months ago seemed to have opened a door to hell.
Now Aragog has fallen. It no longer restrains its descendants, but succumbs to instinct, becoming a dark creature that only knows how to kill.
Even worse, its ferocity destroyed the proper balance in Hogwarts and the Forbidden Forest.
The acromantula's revenge almost made this place a purgatory on earth.
The actual situation is even worse than the news obtained by the centaur investigation. The acromantula must be stopped as soon as possible from continuing to wreak havoc, and Aragog must also be eliminated.
In addition to the corpses that can be seen everywhere, what worries Ivan even more is that he feels a breath of black magic in the mist floating from Aragog's lair.
Dark magic, will it be Voldemort? !
Ivan shook his head. Based on his understanding of Voldemort, it's not that the other party cannot use evil black magic to control, influence, and transform the acromantula, but if he has time to cast these magics, he may be more inclined to use the Killing Curse to directly deal with the enemy.
In Dumbledore's words, Voldemort despises life and is even more afraid of death, which is his greatest weakness.
He judges others by himself, and he believes that death is the greatest fear for all people.
The Killing Curse was Voldemort's favorite spell over other complex, sinister forms of Dark Arts.
It would not be Voldemort who left behind this black magic aura.What's more, it is impossible for him to get close to Hogwarts now.
If not Voldemort, who would it be? !
Ivan thought that the unknown existence that might be hiding in Aragog's lair was just his guess.He couldn't explain why, he felt that he should know more and more important information, but he couldn't remember it...
Just as those corpses were covered by the misty mist in front of him, those dreams that he had forgotten seemed to be related to this place.
Ivan couldn't remember those dreams anymore, but anyway, the sight in front of him was enough to notify Dumbledore to let him deal with these acromants.
Buckbeak took Ivan and flew around Aragog's lair a few more times, and after Ivan recorded the hiding places of most of the acromanders, they began to return to the castle.
At this moment, Ivan saw a team of acromantia approaching the center.
Because there were no trees to cover it, he could see very clearly. This team consisted of twelve or three giant eight-eyed spiders, and the leader spider was obviously much bigger than its companion.Behind it, a few spiders dragged three young wizards in Hogwarts uniform robes, Malfoy, Goyle and Crabbe.
"Damn, what are these three guys doing!" Ivan was startled, and slipped on Buckbeak's back.
Malfoy and the three of them didn't stay in the castle well, how could they be caught by the acromantula? !
Now how to do?
Go down and save Malfoy? !This is simply a joke. Except that he didn't see Aragog just now, Ivan found that the number of acromantulas hiding nearby is definitely not less than one hundred.Once they start a fight and startle them, the consequences will be absolutely unimaginable.
What's more, no matter from which angle you look at it, Ivan has no reason to take the risk to save Malfoy.
Put yourself in his place and think about it, if his life was in danger, it would be a conscience discovery for Malfoy if he didn't get into trouble, let alone save him.
If you leave it alone or go back to inform other people, then from what has been observed so far, within a few minutes, the three of Malfoy and the others will become new treasures on the huge spider web.
Aiwen can be sure that if he hears that Malfoy is dead, he will not feel sad.
But seeing Malfoy die in front of his own eyes is a completely different feeling.
Chapter 299 Dive Buckbeak
Down below, Goyle and Crabbe were crying loudly, still struggling but unable to shake the hairy, slender spider legs of the acromantula.
Beside the two of them, Malfoy was pale and unconscious.
None of the three of them saw the hippogriff high in the sky, let alone Ivan sitting on Buckbeak's back.
If you just leave like this, no one will know that he has been here.
Ivan hesitated for a moment, there was no doubt that he didn't like Malfoy.But let him stand on the sidelines and watch Malfoy die, but he can't do it anyway.
Just like 20 years ago, Harry's father James saved Snape from the werewolf mouth; in the original plot, Harry saved Malfoy and Goyle from Fiendfire.
This has completely gone beyond personal likes and dislikes, and is related to a person's nature and conscience.
To save or not to save, it seems difficult to decide.
But for Harry, for Ivan, for the real Gryffindor, there is always only one answer.
"Let's go down, Buckbeak!" Ivan shouted, pulling out his wand, "I'm absolutely crazy to risk my life to save Malfoy!"
On the ground, Malfoy, Goyle, and Crabbe had fallen into despair.
Not surprisingly, they are about to become food for the acromantula.When the rescue from the school arrived, they could only find dense bones or half-eaten corpses.
Thinking of such a scene, Malfoy raised his fast hand unwillingly, and quickly lowered it.
He felt that his vitality was passing away quickly, and he might die at any time.
Just today, he finally paid the price for what he did.
Just when he had given up, a Hippogriff leaned over and rushed into the group of giant eight-eyed spiders. Its brown steel-like sharp claws grabbed a giant spider and tore it to pieces.
Green liquid splattered Malfoy's face, waking him up a bit.
He blinked his eyes in disbelief, and stood there in a daze, his brain completely stopped functioning.
Beside him, Goyle and Crabbe, who had been struggling, were also stunned. Facing the sudden attack, even the acromantulas were stunned.
They lay on the spot, and all the big claws that had been opening and closing all stopped.
Everyone looked at Buckbeak in amazement, but it didn't stop. Under Ivan's command, it waved its wings and suspended in mid-air. Grabbing Goyle's acromantula.
The red light flashed past, and Aiwen's petrification spell hit the opponent.
Gore was surprised to find that the acromantula that grabbed him was gradually turning into stone, and its body turned blue-gray, becoming more and more stiff.
The two hairy long legs that tightly gripped him became weaker and weaker.
Puff!
Goyle was released by the acromantula and fell heavily to the ground.
"Oh my god, this, this hippogriff is here to save us!" He seemed to have just reacted, looked at Buckbeak in disbelief, and said loudly, "Help, help, take me Get out of here, I don't want to die!"
"It knows it, it's Buckbeak!" Crabbe yelled, increasing his resistance, "It's Hagrid's Hippogriff, it must be..."
Hearing Crabbe's reminder, Malfoy also recognized Buckbeak.
It's a real irony that he has mixed feelings deep inside.
The hippogriff, whom he had sworn just a few minutes earlier to let his father kill, was now relying on it to save him.
But now he couldn't care so much, Malfoy swore that as long as he returned alive, he must repay Buckbeak well.
He just wanted to open his mouth to call for help like Goyle and Crabbe, but he stopped immediately, looking at Ivan sitting on Buckbeak's back with complicated eyes.
Being rescued by Hippogriff and being rescued by Aiwen are completely two concepts.
He hesitated for less than a second, and the idea of survival immediately overcame his self-esteem, and weakly shouted to Ivan, "Help, save me!"
Ivan didn't have the time to deal with Malfoy. With a surprise attack, he and Buckbeak cooperated to clean up the four acromantulas and successfully rescued Goyle.When the remaining acromantulas reacted, his pressure suddenly increased.
Click, click, click...
They waved their sharp pincers, and rushed towards Aiwen and Buckbeak from all directions, and all sixteen pairs of shiny black eyes gleamed viciously and fiercely.
Without Ivan's urging, Buckbeak flew straight up to avoid the attack.
"Don't abandon us, take me away together, don't leave me here alone!" Gore shouted loudly, crawling forward two steps in panic.
"This idiot!" Ivan was speechless about Gore's performance.
Either you take out your wand to fight, or you hide aside. Now you are throwing yourself in front of the giant spider like this, which is completely adding pressure to Ivan's rescue.
"Go down, Buckbeak!" Ivan shouted.
They rushed down again, and the wand in Ivan's hand waved around.
