Chapter 456 The Nun and the Spider (8,000-character chapter!)(2/3)
"No, it's a stranger."
"Then kill him!" Click, click, the giant Acromantula said impatiently.
"Don't disturb me with this kind of thing, I'm sleeping..."
However, before Aragog could finish his words, a crisp spell sound suddenly came to mind from the edge of the depression.
"Ex...plosion!"
boom!
With the deafening roar, several trees around Elena were lifted up by their roots, and debris was thrown around. The shock wave caused by the explosion swept through the entire depression, causing all the Acromantulas to subconsciously stop their activities.
The sound of big pincers.
"I am Hagrid's friend, don't be afraid, I come with kindness and peace."
Elena looked at the mute effect brought by the spell and nodded with great satisfaction - bullying the weak and fearing the strong is a characteristic of most creatures. Showing strength appropriately before reasoning is the best communication.
Way.
Click, click, click, click, click...
After a brief surprise, a series of sounds of spider claws opening and closing resounded in the depression. Obviously, this attack alone could not make these guys who were not particularly intelligent understand what Elena meant.
In that case...
Elena glanced at Aragog, who was hesitant and did not continue speaking for the time being, and the corners of her mouth rose.
"Explosion Maxium!"
"Explosion Maxium!"
"Explosion Maxium!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Art is always the best way to settle disputes. If once is not enough, then just increase the intensity and do it a few more times.
In less than a few seconds, with Elena as the center, almost all the surrounding trees fell down. The power of the curse opened large pits in the soil, and the entire depression was filled with a faint earthy smell.
taste.
And just as Elena expected, the spiders around finally calmed down.
Elena is not naive enough to think that the Acromantula is such a friendly and harmless magical creature. She can let them send her out of the Forbidden Forest through simple verbal communication - this point was almost revealed in the original book.
Spider's Ron and Harry did a pretty classic mistake demonstration.
"That's enough! Human cub! What the hell are you going to do!"
Aragog waved his claws angrily and let out a deep roar.
"As you can see, I'm lost."
Elena spread her hands and said with a smile.
"So I hope that a kind and reliable creature can send me out of the Forbidden Forest and back to Hogwarts Castle for a Halloween dinner - that's all. You know, I'm going to starve to death now."
"Lost? So, Hagrid didn't send you here..."
Aragog clicked and danced his large claws and said slowly.
"So actually, can I understand that you are an uninvited guest who has taken the initiative to break into our territory...right? You should know that this area belongs to the territory of the Acromantula tribe."
Um?!
Elena narrowed her eyes slightly, why didn't this old spider react at all?!
According to common sense, after witnessing the destructive power she displayed, Aragog, who has close to human intelligence, should not make unwise choices for a bit of flesh and blood, unless...
"Don't you think that...just making a loud noise can force the Acromantula tribe to surrender, give up the fresh human flesh that comes to your doorstep, and even serve you wizards like slaves?"
Just...a loud noise?!
Elena looked around at the ground, which was almost like a bombing site, and her cheeks twitched.
Isn't this old guy blind?
Doesn't this level of curse still prevent it from seeing reality clearly?!
While thinking this, Elena's eyes slowly fell on the old spider's white eyes...
Emmmmm…
Damn it!
I almost forgot, this old spider is blind now!
"Sorry, poor human cub, you can't go anywhere..."
Not far away, Aragog said slowly, and his large claws made a dangerous clicking sound.
"Wizards are indeed scary, but this is not Hogwarts Castle. You can deal with one or two by yourself, but you will never be able to resist my hundreds of children. Stay here and be our holiday gift...
…”
Following Aragog's voice, the clicking sounds around him gradually started to sound again.
The rustling sounds became more and more intensive, and countless spiders seemed to be surrounding me from every corner.
Elena sighed softly, suddenly realizing the failure of communication this time.
Under Aragog's instigation, the Acromantulas gathered from all directions and slowly moved towards her inch by inch. A few steps behind her, the spiders formed a solid line.
Towering copper and iron walls.
Countless big black claws opened and closed back and forth, making a clicking sound. Hundreds of pairs of vicious eyes were shining on those ugly black heads. Each spider's eyes were flashing with excitement and bloodthirsty.
look.
Looking at the spider's hard black hairs full of barbs, Elena, who was getting hungrier, felt a sense of irritation and nausea.
"Explosion!"
Elena's face turned cold and she waved her magic wand without hesitation.
boom!
The powerful explosion spell effortlessly blew the "Spider Wall" in front of Elena into pieces. The spider's green, sticky blood splashed out and flew everywhere.
Thump, thump.
Several broken spider corpses fell heavily to the ground.
Compared with most high-risk magical creatures, the danger of Acromantula is more reflected in its venom, as well as its powerful reproductive ability and intelligence, but it has no pure physical and magical resistance.
any advantage.
After all, they are just large arthropods after all.
In order to obtain extraordinary sensory capabilities, they even sacrificed their external carapace, only covering the body with a thick layer of black down. Their defense is even more fragile than that of many ordinary animals with rough skin and thick flesh.
Some.
However, facing the good effects brought by the magic spell, Elena's face became more and more solemn.
Strictly speaking, this is the first time she has faced dangerous magical animals alone.
After witnessing the Acromantula with her own eyes, Elena finally realized why Newt Scamander defined them as five-star dangerous magical animals in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them".
Although the Acromantulas were dead the moment their bodies were torn apart by the curse.
But their heart-stopping giant claws were still biting the empty air crazily with all their strength, as if they had pounced on Elena... This was a terrifying gregarious carnivorous creature.
Compared with most magical animals, spiders do not have strong physical combat capabilities.
However, the toxicity contained in their fangs is still a danger that cannot be ignored.
The Acromantula's rapid onset of venom will allow most wizards to take her to another world before they can get any effective medical treatment - be cautious, and there won't be much of a problem in the end.
Without any hesitation, Elena took the initiative to activate the Deathly Hallows pendant given to her by Grindelwald.
The iron armor spell from the first generation Dark Lord emerged and enveloped Elena's body. It was actually quite difficult to break through this layer of magical protection with just the physical attacks of those big spiders.
But there is no doubt that the old blind spider was right about one thing.
The wizard's wounding spell alone is obviously not as effective when facing a huge group of Acromantulas as it is when dealing with other magical animals - there are simply too many of them.
Even if a gap had just been blown up, in less than five or six seconds, the black spider swarm at the rear had filled in again. The endless spider swarm did not care about one or two unlucky spiders that died.
"When I go back, I must learn a few large-scale attack spells."
After killing dozens of spiders with explosive spells, Elena sighed and put down the wand in her hand.
Under such circumstances, the spells taught in the lower grades of Hogwarts are almost ineffective.
This is no longer a situation that a low-level wizard can handle.
Fortunately, besides being a wizard, she also has another profession...
Elena raised the corner of her mouth and silently took out the metal cross necklace that Father Benitez asked the house elf to give her on her birthday not long ago, with an eager look in her eyes.
As a novice nun, when magic cannot eradicate evil, she has another option.
