Chapter 169 Spider War
"Hagrid's friend? Something that happened fifty years ago..." The big spider smacked its lips, making a clicking sound.

It was easy to talk to. It didn't refuse, but instead talked a lot, which made Harry and Hermione and the others feel relieved.

The big spider said its name was Aragog. It was given to Hagrid by a traveler when it was still an egg. Hagrid hatched it in the castle and fed it with bread crumbs and saved food.

But soon something happened in the castle. A girl was killed in the bathroom, and then someone came to arrest Hagrid and Aragog.

Aragog was let go by Hagrid and finally settled in the Forbidden Forest. He didn't know what happened afterwards.

Hermione quickly asked, "What exactly is the monster in the Chamber of Secrets?"

Aragog rubbed his front legs, looking a little uneasy: "I can't say it, it's the spider's natural enemy, I can't face it!" It was obvious that it didn't want to mention the monster.

But Aragog also said that all these years, thanks to Hagrid who has been taking good care of it, he also found a wife for it and gave birth to a lot of children...

Hearing this, Ron was stunned, then reacted: A bunch of children? !
He looked up suddenly and saw that under the moonlight, dozens of spiders as big as foals were silently falling from the tree hanging on their silk threads!
Ron: “Ah~~~” The sound is like a dolphin!
The others then realized that they had been surrounded by eight-eyed spiders without realizing it!
Hermione shouted anxiously: "We are Hagrid's friends, you can't do this!"

Aragog rubbed his two fangs, making a clicking sound. The smaller eight-eyed spiders stopped approaching, but some of the larger ones were still eager to move forward, and the fangs in their mouths were also clicking.

This is how they communicate! I was just fooled!
Aragog said: "We won't hurt Hagrid, but the same can't be said for the others."

It twisted its body and looked around. "I can't stop the children from enjoying the fresh meat that is delivered to their door. I hope you can understand."

"Bah! Understand Merlin's flowery shorts!" Jerry spat fiercely and threw out a few round things the size of red dates.

That thing is the masterpiece of the Weasley twins. They have been studying transforming candies, but still haven't mastered the key points. However, they have also developed some other products, such as this "Crackling Firecrackers"!
This thing is really loud!
A few firecrackers hit the ground with a popping sound, and sparks flew all over the sky in an instant.

How could those eight-eyed spiders have ever seen such a thing? The fire and the loud noise frightened them back, and suddenly they made way for a large area.

"Follow the original plan! Retreat!" Ted shouted, standing in front of everyone, "Frost Nova!"

As he stomped his feet hard, a white cold current spread towards the fan-shaped area in front, and the weeds and bushes on the ground were suddenly covered with frost and ice.

There were three or four eight-eyed spiders that were greedy for human flesh and stood relatively close. They didn't have time to dodge and had their eight legs frozen.

Ted pointed his wand again, and the large chunks of ice on the ground burst open with a crackling sound, with broken ice pouring out in all directions like a rainstorm.

"Get out, get out, get out!"

When it came to retreat, Ron ran the fastest, and with several consecutive "retreat three feet away" he knocked the huge spider in front of him away.

This action scared Ted. You have to know that Ron's wand is now nine inches long, and it has an eight-inch and eight-inch back bone! It was a blessing that he didn't just give him a backfire!
Ron had forgotten about his battle-damaged wand. He just suddenly realized that spiders weren't that scary after all. Damn, I'm a wizard, I know magic, come here!
However, there were too many eight-eyed spiders, not only in front, behind, left and right, but even above my head, with spider silk hanging from them to attack me.

Ted and his six companions ran about ten meters before they were blocked by more spiders!
"Ready~ Protection from evil!" Ted took the lead, and everyone raised their wands and used Protection from Evil.

A huge amount of magic power gathered together, forming a strange magic field around the six people. The range was 20 meters in diameter!

Once the spiders stepped into it, they felt uncomfortable all over, even in unbearable pain, and ran away screaming.

However, there were so many spiders that within a dozen seconds, a large number of them gathered outside the magic range! Large and small, densely packed, layered.

At this time Ted gave Neville a look, Neville nodded and rushed to the front, only two or three meters away from the nearest spider, and suddenly drew out the magic fang dagger.

"Flash burst!"

There was a loud bang, and then the whole world seemed to turn into a dazzling white.

The reason why the eight-eyed spiders regard the basilisk as their natural enemy is because staring into the eyes of a basilisk will lead to immediate death. They have eight eyes and cannot close them, which means they can receive the basilisk's gaze from all angles without blind spots, and they will die if they are touched.

It was the same now. The violent flash and explosion caused 99% of the eight-eyed spiders present to temporarily lose their vision. For a while, the sound of clicking and clacking was endless.

The big spiders were tumbling, running and bumping into each other, and even attacking each other in a panic.

At this moment, a car horn suddenly sounded not far away, and then two beams of headlights lit up in the forest, and an old Ford car covered with scratches rushed out of the woods.

Ron's eyes widened: "Yes, it's my car!"

Ted was happy: "Get in the car, get in the car quickly!"

All five friends were stuffed into the car, and Ted shouted, "Drive forward and wait for me in front. I'll give them a good beating!"

As he said that, he slammed the car door and faced the swarm of spiders behind him that had not yet fully recovered.

He continued to wave his wand like a conductor at a concert, and the magic power vibrated and flowed around him.

"Fire Wall~"

A two-meter-high wall of fire was burning around Ted. Several larger eight-eyed spiders had recovered first and were surrounding the wall of fire, not daring to approach but unwilling to retreat.

"Eat! Eat...eat him!"

"Hang him up and inject him with venom..."

"I want to eat from the feet..."

Several large spiders can speak sporadically, but not as fluently as Aragog. They are the offspring of Aragog, and their levels are around 7th and 8th level.

Ted noticed that Aragog had been staying at the entrance of the cave, and now even had most of his body retracted into the cave, looking like he was watching.

Didn't Aragog care about the lives of these spiders? He even wanted to get rid of them with Ted's help?

Ted had previously encountered a stray spider outside the eight-eyed spider's territory, most likely the one that had failed in the fight for the position of leader.

I can’t worry about all that. Didn’t Ted prepare for this wave for all this time?

Seeing more and more eight-eyed spiders almost stacked up in front of the fire wall, Ted raised his wand and pointed it at the feet of the spiders: "Firestorm~"

The ground suddenly turned fiery red, like a red-hot iron plate, and then fierce flames gushed out like magma!

The diameter was three meters, and the fire column was five meters high. The surrounding area within five or six meters was as hot as if it were in a furnace... The depths of the dark forbidden forest seemed to light up in an instant!
"Boom~~~" The flames continued to roar, and after three seconds they gradually weakened, leaving only a charred piece of ash on the ground.

The surviving eight-eyed spiders had already been scared away.

Ted's mind refreshed more than a dozen system prompts in an instant!
"Ding~ Killed the eight-eyed spider, gained 730 experience points..."

"Ding~ Kill the eight-eyed spider and gain 690 points..."

"Ding~ Kill the eight-eyed spider, gain 720..."

"Ding~ Kill the eight-eyed spider and obtain..."

"Ding~ Kill the Eight Eyes..."

"Ding~ Kill..."

"Ding~..."

A total of 12960 experience points were credited!
The golden belt of murder and arson!

Once the magic spell is cast, a fortune of gold will be yours!

I understand!
Ted felt so good that he felt relaxed all over!
Unfortunately, there aren't many such opportunities, and we can't just kill a large number of magical animals for no reason.

Besides, if this continues, it will probably take several years for the eight-eyed spiders in the Forbidden Forest to recover in number.

Unfortunately, the materials and venom in the eight-eyed spider were burned and wasted.

Ted received seven or eight white and green cards, then simply ran away.

As for the fire still burning on the tree, the eight-eyed spiders are so smart, let them make up for it~
……

Ted returned safely, and his friends breathed a sigh of relief. The fire behind him just now was indeed scary.

After more than half a year, Ron held the steering wheel of his own car again. He was so excited that he stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and his hand that shifted the gear left an afterimage.

I don't know if the flying car was broken down or it had insufficient magic power, so it could no longer fly, but it could still jump up and glide for a short distance.

The scattered highlands, bushes and tree roots in the forbidden forest give it the feeling of Mount Akina.

Jerry's face was pressed against the windshield, deformed. He muttered, "Ron, I know you're anxious to get away from the spider, but can we drive slower? Don't let me die in your hands instead of in the spider's mouth!"

However, Ron turned a deaf ear to him and rushed out of the forbidden forest at high speed before slowing down and stopping the car.

The six people in the car were panting heavily, and the old car was also humming as if it was about to stall and die at any time.

"Woo~"

"Wow, wow, wow..." Ron suddenly leaned on the steering wheel and burst into tears.

The friends were confused!

Jerry tried to comfort him: "Well, Ron, you actually drive pretty well!"

Harley: "Look, your car is back. Congratulations!"

Neville: "Congratulations!" (Me too~)

However, Ron cried even harder.

"What's wrong with you? Were you bitten by a spider? We've run away and don't have to be afraid of spiders anymore!" Jerry thought Ron was afraid of spiders.

As a result, Ron choked up and said, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry..."

The other five looked at each other, completely confused as to what was going on.

Ron said, "It's me! It's all because of me! I should have been braver and told everyone earlier..."
