The Dark Lord at Hogwarts is not too cold

167.8 Acromantula's Lair

Harry, Ron, and Neville usually go to the Forbidden Forest quite often, but this is the first time they have visited the centaur tribe in the center of the Forbidden Forest.

Especially when Cyrus brought them to the centaur tribe, Harry and Ron's eyes straightened when they looked at Yingyingyanyan's female centaur.

Only Neville was a little shy, keeping his head down, although his eyes glanced up from time to time.

The centaur tribe was cleared out of an area, the cut trees were built into houses, and there were several horsemen patrolling at the main gate with bows and arrows and iron spears in hand.

Everything seemed to be changing according to Cyrus' will.

"You really came"

"Ronan? I was going to find you." Cyrus saw the other party just come out from the door, and greeted the four of them.

Ronan has red hair and beard, a shiny brown horse body below the waist, and a long red tail. Like Bane, he doesn't trust humans, but he has a soft heart.

Typical knife mouth tofu heart.

"I've known for a long time that the Jupiter in the nights these days is a bit bleak..." His voice sounded melancholy and slow to Harry and the others.

Cyrus came here for no other reason than to need the centaur's guidance in the Forbidden Forest. Only they knew where Hagrid's former Aragog was.

"We need your guidance to find Aragog's acromantula"

Long story short, Cyrus seemed to be within Ronan's expectation, he nodded and said:

"If you just go like this, it's not suitable. Your fire dragon is at a lake in the Forbidden Forest, just go down the stream... and your blue puppy"

"Thank you... It seems that the horse people are not so unreasonable"

"No, it's just because you guys are foals..." Ronan waved his hand, glanced at the three people behind him, turned and left, "I wish you good luck, by the way, about the acromantula, you go to find Bei Well"

After Cyrus found Stitch and Smaug, Harry sat on the stone at the gate of the tribe, watching the centaur coming and going, as well as those other 'Hagrid huts'.

This is very similar to the legend that only appeared in the fairy tale books he read when he was a child:

In a forest, several small villages appeared. There were not many people, but they would always help those who lost their way.

But Ron was not so lucky. He looked at the mare men now, trying to use the wonderful scenery to temporarily forget his fear of spiders.

"Looking for Acromantula? Well...I can't guarantee your safety." Bain led the way reluctantly.

In fact, he wasn't the only one who knew the location, it was just that Ronan deliberately disgusted him, and he called it in the name of improving the relationship between wizards and centaurs.

"Can I stand up?" Ron trembled. "I hate spiders, let alone acromantia."

Smaug snorted, giant spider?Is it the thing that the horse man makes him bully every day?Ronan said that those spiders broke into their territory several times, so Smaug saw it and breathed fire.

However, Stitch also dislikes the giant spider. It sits on the fire dragon and enjoys the fun of gliding wearing sunglasses.

"The giant spider's ability to reproduce is too luxuriant, so they seem to be in a state of hunger forever." Bane squinted at Ron, and deliberately threatened, "And the giant spider's predation is also very cruel..."

Thinking of being tied up by spider silk, and then injecting venom to slowly dissolve, Ron retched a little.

"Where is Aragog? Is he one of them?"

"Hmph! Back then, I scolded Hagrid to tell him not to raise the giant spiders in the Forbidden Forest! There are so many spiders now because of Hagrid! Aragog is the leader of the giant spiders."

When this matter was mentioned, Bain immediately became irritable. He said, "Let me tell you first, if there is any danger, I will slip away early!"

As they walked further in, the surrounding woods seemed to be filled with thick white fog, but Ron took a closer look and found that they were all spider webs.

There was a "rustling" sound under the dead leaves on the ground. When it was kicked away quietly, a few black spiders crawled away, and then burrowed into another dead leaf.

"Seriously, why don't we leave with the flying car?" Ron rubbed his arms and cheeks with his palms, and he could feel the surface of his skin cracking and numb.

Before that, they also found the flying car they rode on before school started. It was covered with mud, and they followed behind the crowd. Harry could feel that the car seemed to be shaking.

"This is for you." Bane seemed to remember something, and handed a wooden horn to Cyrus beside him, "This is the latest one that hasn't been blown yet."

Cyrus stroked the horn, which was smooth and carved with the unique patterns of the centaur, and it could make a dull sound when it was tapped lightly.

"Blow it only if it's dangerous? Or..." Cyrus wondered if it was some magical creation of the centaur tribe.

"Don't think too much, this is not a magical creation, nor is it an artifact inherited from any tribe in the legend, it is just something used to call fire dragons to eat."

A wicked smile appeared on Bane's face.

As he said, generally Smaug and Stitch would run to play after helping the centaur hunt, and would be called back after eating. I have to say that with them, hunting was much easier.

The horse people can free up time to do more things, such as reading the books that Firenze inherited from the wizard, or studying carpentry.

After walking for a while, they heard a distinct rattling sound, and a swarm of spiders surrounded them, some hanging upside down from trees.

These are not little spiders leaving in a hurry under the fallen leaves, each one is bigger than Birus, they are hairy, and they are looking at them with eight eyes.

This time the car at the end was shaking even more, the lights were blinking, and Ron got into the car in fear, regardless of how dirty it was.

"Go away! We are here to find Aragog"

Bain quickly put on the arrow crossbow, and fired two bows and arrows like a demonstration, rubbing against the giant spider's body and nailing it to the tree trunk.

Harry and Neville also climbed into the flying car, holding wands and aiming it at the gap in the window, and the car was like a moving fortress.

Cyrus flicked his wand, and the flames swirled like a long snake, dexterously piercing through the white mist-like cobwebs, and the high temperature made them recede.

When they went down a steep slope, there was a cave opening in the middle of the depression. The small mound was like a hemisphere formed by white mist. At this time, a giant eight-eyed spider slowly walked out of it.

Its body is larger than other giant spiders, black with a little gray, but the eight eyes are covered with white shadows like blind people.

"Aragog?"

Cyrus yelled tentatively, while Bane held a crossbow and stood vigilantly beside the boy.

"Who? Um... people? Disturbing my sleep... kill me!" It heard a spider whispering beside him, "And the damned centaur... die together!"

Bane raised his crossbow and aimed at Aragog, who was close at hand.

"We're friends of Hagrid..." Cyrus frowned, "he's in trouble"

"Trouble? Those horsemen are the biggest trouble. They killed many of my sons and daughters." Aragog didn't seem to want to talk properly. "Hagrid would never send anyone to me!"

"That's because Hagrid was taken! There's a Chamber of Secrets this year...Hagrid said you know maybe where the Chamber of Secrets is..." Cyrus tried to hold it steady.

Hagrid said this, about how he was wronged more than 50 years ago, Hagrid was just for Harry not to be the second him.

"We all know that you are not the murderer... right? So where is the Basilisk hiding?"

"Don't! Don't say that name!! This is the ancient creature we fear most... a natural enemy!" It became emotional, and its voice was very thin, "I begged Hagrid to let me leave the school"

"I can feel it in the bathroom! It's where the girl was killed!! It's always been hidden there." Aragog fiddled with his long legs and big claws.

Hiding in the bathroom all the time?Cyrus turned his head and glanced at Harry, they seemed to know something.

"It's not good, if I don't leave, I really plan to slip away." Bain said in a low voice, looking at the spiders gradually gathering on both sides, feeling a little flustered.

"Understood...thank you~then...we'll go back first, Hagrid is still waiting for us to save" Cyrus backed away slowly.

"Go? Then there's no need. In exchange, you will be my children's pre-dinner dessert... Hagrid's friend~"

A copper wall made of spiders surrounded Cyrus, Baine, and the three people in the car. Cyrus calmly picked up the horn and blew it suddenly.

"Woo~~"

It was as bright and long-lasting as the whistle of a ship before departure, and the sound exploded in the spider swarm.

Cyrus launched the summoning magic: the dragon cleared the way.
