But there was nothing, and he was the only one around.
The size of this cave was completely beyond his imagination, and the passages were wide and narrow at times.
A few minutes later, the ground began to slope down again. Ivan didn't know how many meters he had penetrated into the ground, and there was still no sign of Aragog.
Along with the warm wind, milky white mist floated up from below one by one.
"Show me the way!" Ivan held the wand flat on the palm of his hand and whispered to it.
The wand spun around and pointed in the direction Ivan was heading, indicating that he was not going wrong.
He speeded up, counting the time, Buckbeak should have brought Goyle and Crabbe back to the castle, but he didn't even see Malfoy's shadow.
Goo-dong, goo-dong...
Ivan seemed to hear something, and moved forward about 50 meters. After turning a corner, the space in front of him suddenly opened up, and an underground space about the size of a Quidditch field appeared in front of him.
In the front near the left hand side is an underground hot spring that is constantly gushing upwards. It flows outwards and spews out a column of water intermittently. It is more than 50 feet high and looks very spectacular.
The water temperature is very high, and when it collides with the icy rock wall, a thick mist is generated.
This hot spring is the source of warm wind and milky white mist. There are countless dark passages along the edge of the wall, and the spring water flows out there.
Aiwen took two steps forward, and with the light of his wand, he could clearly see that the warm water did not just flow out, but gathered again into a large pool in the middle of the cave.
This oval-shaped pool is very large, and the walls of the pool are covered with white spider silk.
The most astonishing thing is the white spherical objects floating densely inside, which looks like...
Chapter 306 Spider eggs and female spiders
Ai Wen blinked, and in order to see clearly, he took two steps forward.
In the warm water in the center of the cave, there are thousands of spherical objects floating. They are as big as water balloons, very soft, and float slowly with the direction of the water flow.
At the very edge of the end of the pool is a large spherical spider web.
It acts as a filter, allowing the spring water to flow out, but these white water balloons are kept in.
The setting that leads the hot springs into the pool is very delicate. If Aiwen were to design it, I am afraid it would not be able to do better. No wonder it is said that the intelligence of the acromantula is close to that of humans.
Wait a minute, why are there water balloons in Aragog's lair? !
A trace of doubt flashed in Ivan's mind, the picture in front of him was too suspicious.
He moved the magic wand in his hand forward to increase the output of magic power. The originally weak fluorescence at the end of the wand became brighter and brighter, and the incandescent light completely dispelled the surrounding darkness.
This time, he saw clearly.
The white spherical objects floating in this pool are not water balloons at all, they are all the eggs of acromantulas.Under the strong light, it can be clearly seen that there are looming spider larvae inside the soft and thin walls of the spider eggs.
Some are chaotic, and some are fully formed.
The formed spider larvae are covered with thick black hairs, and they occasionally move inside, as if they could burst out of the chrysalis at any time, looking very frightening.
Ai Wen took a breath, raised his head and looked towards the edge of the pool, and all he could see were spider eggs, densely packed together, and many of them were pressed under the water.The number of spider eggs in front of him was completely beyond imagination. If they were all hatched, the entire Forbidden Forest might become dominated by acromantulas.
Even if the giant acromantid's individual combat effectiveness is not the strongest, with their terrifying numbers, these dark creatures will be unmatched in the Forbidden Forest.
Aiwen tried hard to recall the description he had read about the eggs of the Acromantula in the book "Where Are the Fantastic Beasts?": As we all know, the Acromantula is a carnivore and likes large prey.They weave domed webs on the ground, and females are much larger than males, laying up to a hundred eggs at a time.
The eggs are white and usually take six to eight weeks to hatch.Acromantula eggs are clearly classified as Class A non-trade commodities by the Department of Management and Control of Mythical Creatures, and they must be destroyed as soon as possible after seeing them. Importing or selling spider eggs will be severely punished.
Although there are express regulations, the sale of Acromantus eggs is not allowed.But in Knockturn Alley, which is dark and full of dragons and snakes, this is the most popular commodity among dark wizards. Because it is rare and rare, the price is very high, and it can often be sold for sky-high prices.
Aiwen habitually converted the spider eggs in front of him into Galleons, and concluded that this was an astronomical sum. If he took these eggs outside...
Of course, he just thought about it.
Don't talk about selling it, the pool and the spider eggs inside must be destroyed. Just as he was thinking about what kind of magic to use, the ground suddenly shook.
Boom, boom loud sound, from far to near.
Ivan froze for a moment, and soon realized that since there were spider eggs here, the female spiders must also be nearby, and female acromantulas are usually much larger than males.Aragog, who is as small as a small elephant, is already beyond imagination. He is the largest spider he has ever seen. If its mate is bigger than its size, wouldn't it be...
Looking at a pool full of white spider eggs, Ivan clenched his wand subconsciously.
A normal acromantula wouldn't lay so many eggs. They could lay no more than a hundred eggs at a time, but there were nearly ten thousand eggs in this pool.If this was born of Aragog's consort, it means that it also mutated like Aragog.
It must be the ghost of the guy hiding in the dark, the mutation happened recently.Aragog was already very old. He had lived in the Forbidden Forest for so many years. If he really had such a large number of descendants, he might have swallowed the entire Forbidden Forest long ago.
The invasion of the ancient, evil dark force has turned the acromantulas in the Forbidden Forest into another more bloodthirsty and terrifying monster.
If it is restored to power, the consequences will be disastrous.
Boom, boom, boom...
Ai Wen took a step back, his eyes fixed on the source of the sound.
Just as he was getting ready, a gigantic female spider nearly the size of three Aragogs crawled out of the shadows behind the pool.
Every time the huge pincers closed, the entire space vibrated accordingly.
Click, click, click...
The most astonishing thing is its appearance. Its bulging belly is very big, disproportionately large. I don’t know what is inside, and it seems to be very heavy. Even the rocks on the ground have not been ground into powder. .Eight furry spider legs, each as thick as Ivan's thigh.
Compared with its huge body, its head seemed too small. On it were sixteen pairs of black eyes like black jewels, constantly flashing malicious light.
At the front of the head, the giant claws unique to the giant spider also looked different, with a green cold light shining on the sharp claws, which were completely soaked in venom.
"Click, click, human!" The female spider's voice shook Ivan's ears.
"Where is Aragog, I want to meet it." Ivan shouted, he clenched his wand and kept backing away.
Considering the opponent's size, he was not completely sure that he could defeat it.
"You want to see Aragog?!" The female spider looked at Ivan, as if thinking about it, and said slowly, "The intruder must die, but I will be extra merciful and satisfy your last wish." Wish, bring your corpse to meet it."
It just finished speaking, and its whole body quickly rushed forward to Ivan.
It was as if a hill was rolling over, and Aiwen could see the hideous expression of the other party. He swished out a few spells and backed up as fast as he could.
He was almost touched by the giant claw of the female spider.
boom! ! !There was a violent impact, and a big crater appeared in the position where Aiwen had just stood. If it was a second at night, he might really be smashed to pieces.
Just like that night a few months ago, Ivan's shrinking spell had no effect on Aragog at all, all the spells he had just been bounced off by the opponent.
Ivan noticed that this huge female spider was covered with blue-black armor scales, and its spell was blocked by these armors, and it didn't hurt it at all.
An octopus with armor immune to spells, is this still an octopus? !
Chapter 307 Unrealistic Fantasy
The giant eight-eyed spider is extremely aggressive, and one of its weaknesses is its poor defense. Even the weak spells of little wizards can easily break through their defenses.
But the huge mutated female Acrysantula in front of him completely overturned Ivan's understanding.
He tried to use several spells in a row, but nothing worked.
The hard blue-black carapace on its body is very resistant, which makes Ivan feel quite tricky.
Fortunately, this underground cave has a lot of space, enough to dodge.
And the female spider's large size, disproportionate body and round belly also slowed it down.
Dodging the opponent's attack, Aiwen gathered all his magic power.
The wand in his hand shot out a silvery-white light, with a palpitating arc of light, and fell heavily on it.
Click, click, click...
The severe pain caused the female spider to make crazy clicking noises.
Ai Wen wiped off his sweat, and the powerful force enough to cut off an ordinary acromantula left only a few deep scratches on the opponent's carapace.
It didn't even break through its defenses, on the contrary, it stimulated it to become even more frantic.
The female spider condescended to aim at Ivan, raised its dark green pincers high, danced quickly, and fell heavily towards his position with a loud click.
Boom, boom, boom...
A lot of gravel and dust flew up, every attack of the female spider left a deep hole on the ground, and the entire cave was shaking accordingly.
Broken rock fragments splashed out and fell on Ivan.
Regardless of the pain in his body, he panted violently, running and dodging with all his strength.
Being chased by a giant monster spider is an absolute nightmare, worse than meeting the basilisk in the back room last semester.
There is no way to go on like this, he has to think of a way.
In the next second, Ivan's wand waved wildly, and the surrounding cyan rocks began to deform rapidly.
Under his command, the rock took the shape of a troll.
The stone monsters appeared one after another, holding crude weapons in their hands, roaring and rushing towards the female spider.
But soon, these stone-turned monsters were ruthlessly crushed into powder and turned into dust again.
The only good news is that they further slow down the female spider.
Aiwen knew that he had to look for the opponent's weakness. Taking this opportunity, his eyes wandered back and forth on the opponent's ugly body.
Ignoring the blue-black carapace on the head and back, he finally locked his targets on two positions, the relatively slender legs of the spider and the huge round belly that didn't know what was inside.
He was going to attack these two positions. If it still didn't work, he could only consider using powerful black magic to deal with the opponent.
"Click, click, welcome death, human..."
Since she couldn't attack Ivan, the female spider seemed a little impatient.
Its gaze became more ferocious, and its eight furry spider legs writhed rapidly, accelerating its attack speed, and green liquid began to secrete from its mouth.
After these liquids fell on the ground, they quickly vaporized and spread within a certain range.
Looking at the weird green smoke, Aiwen knew that he couldn't touch it without reminding him. The gas must be the poison secreted by the other party, so he hurriedly hid aside.
The speed of venom secretion is getting faster and faster, and the female spider doesn't seem to intend to directly use the venom to knock down Ivan.
However, they gradually formed a circle and gradually surrounded him.
The opponent's intentions are very obvious, forcing Aiwen to have less and less room for movement...
During this process, he tried to attack the opponent's eight furry spider legs, but with little effect, as they were also covered by imperceptible dark carapaces.
As for the disproportionately large belly of the female spider, it was well protected behind her body, and she was extremely nervous.
Every time Ivan attacks there, it would rather stop attacking and dodge quickly, for fear of being touched by his powerful spells.
Unless you go around behind it, you can't attack there at all.
From this point of view, its round belly is the weakness of the female spider.
As the spouse of Aragog, the king of spiders, before the mutation, the main function of the female acromantula was to breed offspring, and her stomach was where she used to ovulate.
For the female acromantula, there is the most crucial existence.
At the same time, it is also the most vulnerable part of its entire body.
Looking at the huge female spider in front of him, Ai Wen had a plan in mind.
He did not dodge to the entrance passage, but slowly backed up near the huge pool in the center of the cave behind him, until he reached the side of the pool.During the battle just now, he discovered that whenever he got close to the pool, the female spiders would stop attacking.
The attack power of its big pincers is too great, and it must be aware of this.If you just smash it down like this regardless of whether it can kill Aiwen or not, it will definitely destroy thousands of white spider eggs in the pool. This is not what it wants to see.
Sure enough, the huge female spider stopped when she saw Ivan standing by the pool.
It didn't rush to attack. From its point of view, Ivan had given up resistance now.Around this human boy, the green mist produced by its venom has already connected into one piece, tightly surrounding him.No matter how you look at it, he has fallen into a desperate situation.
The rumbling and crashing sound finally stopped, and the female spider began to speed up the secretion of venom, with sixteen small dark eyes staring at Ivan.
Seeing him standing there as if giving up waiting to die, it was almost extremely satisfied.
In its view, the human boy in front of him is already a turtle in a urn.Considering that the pool behind Aiwen is full of spider eggs that are about to hatch, the female spider is going to kill Aiwen in a more gentle way, using her own venom to make him fall into a coma.
After that, the human boy will be food for himself and his children.
The acromantula, who was too proud, didn't notice that the stone fragments that he had just crushed behind it were slowly floating up with the subtle movements of Aiwen's wand.They deformed in the air, gradually forming huge cones, floating densely in the mid-air behind the female spider, which looked particularly shocking.
If it wasn't for the lack of magic power, Aiwen even wanted to convert all these stone cones into harder steel.
But for now, it should be enough.
