Chapter 96 The Lair

The group of people moved forward cautiously. After a while, the surrounding woods and shrubs returned to their green appearance. However, the clicking sounds from everywhere broke the beauty of the forest.Hagrid's dogtooth pulled its head and followed behind with a whimper. It looked more frightened than the little wizards.

Fox was still missing, and now was obviously not the time to shout loudly, otherwise the Acromantulas around would not mind jumping up to taste human flesh.The fire spell might stop the Acromantula but it could easily hurt itself.

Along the way, I saw various spider webs from time to time, some were white and some were gray as if stained with a layer of dust.Acromantulas of different sizes join the queue from time to time, at least four to five hundred.

Tang Ning didn't know what was waiting for them on the road ahead. Maybe they were heading towards a dead end. Of course, it might also be a chance for survival. At least it wouldn't be worse than before.

"Tangning, something's not right." Hagrid suddenly slowed down his pace and lowered his voice, "I didn't see the Acromantula I knew along the way..."

Tangning couldn't help but roll her eyes, and now she realized something was wrong...

"Go on, I don't think these Acromantulas have any long-range attack methods. If we don't come to an agreement, we can just set fire to it!" Tangning also lowered her voice and said, "Hagrid, no matter what happens, you can Be prepared, I have a bad feeling.”

"No problem!" Hagrid said, taking out a small red umbrella from the package behind his back and holding it in his hand as Tangning watched with wide eyes.

"Here is my wand," Hagrid explained. "It was broken by someone from the Ministry of Magic 50 years ago. Then Dumbledore helped me repair it, and now I can use magic."

Well, Little Red Umbrella, what a bad taste... Even if she was in danger, she couldn't stop Tangning from complaining.

There were more and more cobwebs on the ground, which meant that Tang Ning and the others had entered the core area.

"It's just ahead!" Hagrid said, he was no stranger to the Acromantula's lair.

Now, in addition to cobwebs, there are many dark holes on the ground that cannot be seen to the bottom. Thick dead trees are lying everywhere, and sometimes it is necessary to cross them with difficulty.The trees turned pitch black again, "Was this here before? Hagrid." Tangning asked softly.

"No, Aragog cherishes the place where he lives." Hagrid replied.

"So, Hagrid, do you know any powerful magic?" Tangning continued to ask.

Hagrid hesitated and said, "Actually, I only went to third grade...and then I didn't learn much about magic."

Do you still have to rely on yourself?Tangning sighed. He had already seen the huge cave in front of him. Tangning already understood where it was without Hagrid explaining it.But, eh?Why did I put myself in such a dangerous situation again?

The leading Acromantula walked to the entrance of the cave and kept calling their leader with its large pincers.

The exit of the crypt was covered with snow-white spider silk, and a figure emerged from the darkness amid the call.Its body was also covered with thick black hairs. Unlike other Acromantulas, the black hairs on its body actually gave Tangning the illusion of being smooth and silky.

The most important thing is its size, which is only half the size of the leading Acromantula. Compared with the latter, can it even be considered cute?Tangning felt that after watching too many Acromantulas, her aesthetics had definitely been affected.

"This is different from what is said in the book!" Hermione muttered behind Tangning. "The book says that the size of Acromantulas increases with age, and the leader of the spider group is usually the largest one."

"Where is Aragog?" Hagrid asked.

"Of course he's dead!"

It took a while for Tangning to realize that the person speaking was "soft and silky". No wonder Tangning didn't realize it. The Acromantula he had seen before could only speak every word by constantly pulling its claws. It sounded very laborious to make the sound, but the leader spoke just like a human being, and his two large claws did not move at all.

Hagrid was very excited about this answer. He shouted: "This is impossible! Where is Aragog? I saw it not long ago, it was just a little dazzled! Where is Mosag? It is Aragog." Aragog's wife, where is it?... This was so sudden, why didn't anyone tell me! Where is Aragog's body? Where did you bury it?" Suddenly, Hagrid's face showed surprise and anger. Sexy, "You won't eat Aragog!"

"What you should care about now is yourself, Hagrid." The leader of the Acromantula said in a very pleasant tone. It behaved very quietly, which was in great contrast with the other Acromantulas around it.At least since it came out until now, Tang Ning hasn't seen it fidget with its claws.

Soon, the leader's eight eyes glanced at Tang Ning and others, and continued in a smooth tone: "Aragog has set many rules for us. The most important thing is that he doesn't allow us to taste delicious human flesh. ! But I am different, as your new leader!" It walked back and forth on the white spider silk at the entrance of the cave as if patrolling the territory, and its voice became louder and louder, "I declare to you that these stupid wizards are yours. ! Hagrid, you are still as stupid as ever!"

Tangning felt that she was close to discovering the truth, but she just missed a little hint.

Encouraged by the leaders of the Acromantulas of all sizes, Tangning's ears were filled with clicking sounds.

"Hagrid, can you ask how Aragog died? I always feel that this Acromantula behaves too much like a human being."

But the new leader didn't give them a chance to delay. At his command, the surrounding Acromantulas rushed over with their big claws open.

"Fire is blazing!" Tangning shouted, and a stream of flames shot out from his wand, quickly igniting the spider webs, dead leaves, and rotten wood on the ground.Following Tangning, everyone cast the spell, including Ron. His broken wand finally did not malfunction this time, but instead made his flames stronger than normal.

They quickly built a fire ring around it. What surprised Tangning was Hagrid. He used a small red umbrella to create a fire isolation zone between the fire ring and the place where the group of people were standing, and moved all the combustibles on the ground outside. Stirring up the fire, the problem Tangning had been worried about would no longer exist.

She didn't expect Hagrid to have this ability, and it was indeed beyond Tangning's expectations.Tangning could indeed do this through a transformation spell or a cleansing spell, but it was still difficult to do it so quickly.

The flames can indeed block the Acromantula, but that's all. Under the command of the leader, the Acromantula is also cleaning up the combustibles outside the fire circle on the ground.The fire spread quickly, and the spider silk was more convenient for fueling the fire, but it couldn't hold back the greater number of Acromantulas!If this continues, Tang Ning and the others will soon have to use magic power to maintain the flames.
