The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 236 Spider Cave
The twins had had this idea a long time ago, when they were only in first grade when they first encountered acromantula in the Forbidden Forest.Now that they are in the fourth grade, they took the initiative to look for the acromantula, but this idea still hasn't disappeared from their minds.

Ada believes that she will soon see a "brother Christine" show, and hope that Mr. and Mrs. Weasley will not break the twins' legs.

The light emitted from the tip of the wand gradually weakened, but the light did not disappear, but fell slowly to form a barrier to firmly protect the three of them.

The three of them got into the spider cave together. This was a terrifying scene they had never seen in their life. Huge creatures lived in this cave, with eight eyes and eight legs, dark and hairy.

These gigantic spiders seem to be awakened by the sound of footsteps, or by the delicious human smell. They stretch their long black silk legs, and their giant pincers make a "click, click" sound.

The voice was so terrifying that even the bold Ada had goosebumps all over her body. The twins looked nervous, and the chat and laughter outside the cave just now was gone.

There are thousands of spiders, and Ida and the twins can't help but be careful. The cruel acromantia is not the kind of little spider that hangs in the corner and devours flying insects.

The giant eight-eyed spiders woke up one after another, and there was a rustling sound in the cave.

Some impatient spiders tried to get closer to the three of Ada, turning the three into their own dishes, but whenever they tried to get close, the barrier protecting the three would emit light, forcing the acromantula back.

There is a depression in the cave, and there is a misty hemispherical spider web in the center of the depression, and a spider the size of a small elephant slowly drilled out.Its body and legs were black and gray, and each eye was clouded with white over its hideous, clawed head.It is blind.

There was a "click, click" sound in the cave, and then some spiders uttered human language, they said: "Aragok, Aragog."

Ada calmed down and adjusted her state. She said, "Are you Aragog, the spider king? We are friends of Hagrid."

"You interrupted my rest, this is not what Hagrid's friends should do." Aragog waved its giant pincers, obviously it did not welcome the visit of the three of Ada.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb your dormancy." Ada said, "I came here with a question, and I hope the Spider King can clear it up for me."

Aragog waved his giant claws irritably, and said impatiently: "Humans, I have no such obligation, kill them!"

Under Aragog's order, countless spiders approached the three of Ada, and this small protective cover seemed unable to block the impact of so many spiders.

At this moment, George had a quick wit and said loudly, "We are here for the monster in the castle, the monster in the secret room!"

The giant spiders seemed to understand George's words, and instead of moving forward, they retreated in fear.

"The chamber of secrets has been opened, beware of those who are enemies of the heir!" Ada continued, and the spiders backed away out of fear, which confirmed Ada's conjecture.

She continued: "Since the chamber of secrets was opened, the spiders in the castle have been fleeing wildly. The castle hasn't changed much, but there are more monsters entrenched in the chamber of secrets. It's what prompted you to escape from the castle, right?"

"I don't like your tone!" said Aragog, his pincers clicking angrily. "I don't know about chambers, and I don't know about monsters. Only, my children tell me, the ancient The creature has woken up, this creature feeds on us and is our natural enemy!"

It feeds on spiders and is the natural enemy of spiders. This is Ada's first harvest.

"You said it woke up," Ada continued to ask, "that is to say, it used to be active in the castle, and it may have been alive all the time, right?"

"I said, I don't like your tone!" Aragog said angrily, and its descendants were also approaching the three of Ada.

Acromantula can lay up to [-] eggs at a time.The eggs are white, soft, and about the size of floating water balloons.The incubation time for the eggs is six to eight weeks.And Aragog has lived in the Forbidden Forest for decades, so one can imagine how huge his family will be.

Ada was indifferent, as if she didn't see the giant spider that was slowly approaching, she continued to ask: "You have seen it, or noticed it, right?"

"Yes, I noticed Hagrid's activity many years ago when I was living in the castle with Hagrid." Aragog seemed to calm down his emotions, "Then, a child died. Stupid It's ridiculous that humans treat me as a murderer!"

Ada nodded. She never figured out why Hagrid was fired, and now she found out.From Aragog's words, it can be deduced that the secret room was once opened, and the monster hidden in it killed a student.

And Hagrid, like Harry now, was wronged.The acromantula was ferocious by nature and often attacked people, so Hagrid was regarded as the murderer.Coupled with the fact that Hagrid does not have the blessing of the halo of the savior, he and his furry pet were naturally kicked out of school.

The chamber of secrets was once opened and a student was killed. This was Ada's second harvest.

"Last question, Aragog." Ada said, "What is the monster entrenched in the chamber?"

"We won't tell!" said Aragog passionately. "We won't tell its name! I didn't even tell Hagrid the name of that horrible creature, though he asked me, many times."

After all, Aragog was Hagrid's pet, and Ada had a crush on the burly Hagrid, so she didn't ask too much about the acromantula.Ada has obtained enough information today, and it is not too late to find out the name of the monster.

"I think it's time for us to leave," Ada said. "May you and your kingdom prosper, King Spider."

After speaking, Ada and the twins slowly backed away, and the three of them kept their eyes on the spiders to prevent them from violently attacking people.

"Let's go?" Aragog said, "You've asked so many questions, shouldn't it be my turn?"

The entrance of the cave has been blocked by spiders, and the spider web that was cut open before has reappeared, and it is thicker than before.Ada and the twins had to stop, Fred and George raised their wands high, and the two brothers used the dispelling spell to repel several giant spiders rushing towards the three of them.

"Stop!" Aragog said loudly, the giant spiders stopped and did not approach the three of them, but they had already surrounded them.

Aragog continued: "A few years ago, three humans entered the Forbidden Forest. They killed and injured many of my children. Those three were you!"

Aragog was very sure, whether Ada and the others admitted it or not, the acromantula recognized them.

"That's right, it's us," Fred said. "Your sons and daughters are going to eat us, can't we fight back?"

"It's better to let your children get out of the way," George followed up. "We are not the little brats we used to be now. Do you want your children to try again?"

The acromantula in the cave tried to attack them many times, even if they refused to admit it at this time, or bowed their heads and said soft words, it would not work, these ugly bugs had already regarded them as food on the plate.

It's better to simply admit that if the other party fears them and cares about them, maybe this fight can be avoided, and you don't have to fight to the death with these ugly bugs.

"It's good to admit it, it's good to admit it." Aragog said slowly, "I hope you have made up your mind about death before coming here. I am very happy that my children can get a delicious meal .”

"Are you sure?" Ada asked with a smile, her eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses formed a beautiful crescent moon.

"My sons and daughters obeyed my orders and did not harm Hagrid. But fresh human flesh came to the door automatically, and it was the flesh and blood of the enemy. I can't stop them from enjoying it. Farewell, young humans..." Aragog The giant claws made a "click, click" sound again.

Under Aragog's order, the acromantulas formed a solid, towering copper wall, their pincers clattered together, and many pairs of eyes shone brightly on those ugly black heads...

Like a black tide, the giant acromant rushed towards the three of Ada.There are only three teenage wizards, so much food, first come, first served.

The corners of Ada's mouth turned up slightly, and her wand pointed obliquely at the ground. She turned around in a circle, and a blue flame suddenly rose where the wand pointed.

The blue flame formed a wall of fire, separating the three of Ida from the acromantula.

The spiders running in the front plunged headlong into the blue flames, and in an instant they were burned to ashes by the flames.Even if only one of the eight legs touches the flame, the blue flame will engulf the whole spider in an instant.

The giant eight-eyed spiders were not afraid, and rushed to the blue wall of fire one after another, trying to extinguish the flames with the advantage of numbers.But the flame didn't show the slightest tendency to go out, on the contrary, it burned more and more vigorously, threatening to start a prairie fire.

Some of the spiders climbed to the top of the three of Ida, trying to bring justice from heaven, and used their giant pincers to attack the three humans who dared to break into the spider cave from above.

But the giant eight-eyed spider failed to show the three of them the pincers that fell from the sky, and the blue flame suddenly shot up, igniting all the giant spiders above the heads of the three of Ida, and only pieces of ashes fell from the sky.

The barrier protecting the three of them glowed faintly, isolating the ashes and preventing the three of them from getting any ashes.

The blue wall of fire continued to expand, and the giant arachnids retreated steadily. They had nothing to do with the flames.The ferocious giant spiders were terrified, and the deadly flame in front of them was even more terrifying than the one in the castle.

The twins stared at the flames dumbfounded, and everything in front of them seemed like purgatory.The two brothers didn't expect Ada to hide such a backhand. Where did she go the month she disappeared?What did she learn?
　The number of people in the exchange group is indeed pitifully small, but today I still got the support of book friends in the exchange group, and Tangyuan's hairstyle instantly became stiff... Let's talk about the group number again, struggling for a while.Group number: 1040815922
