Make A Fortune With Them
Both Harry and Ron held their breaths.
They have already guessed in their hearts now that Hagrid's ultimate purpose for letting them follow the spider must be to let them come to this big spider - Aragog.
It can prove that Hagrid was expelled from Hogwarts fifty years ago because he was falsely accused.
And they also understood the reason why Sherlock came to the Forbidden Forest in the middle of the night to find Aragog.
However, Aragog did not give him a definite answer.
"No, although I have some guesses, I can't say it, that ancient creature, I can't provoke it."
While it was talking, the spiders around it began to slowly gather in the direction of Sherlock and the others.
Sherlock looked coldly at Aragog, who was crawling back, ready to withdraw from his cave.
"What do you want to do?"
"With my restraints, my children and grandchildren will not hurt Hagrid, but I can't stop them from enjoying the food they eat. I've lived long enough, and I don't have a few more years to live, nothing about Hagrid. Don't worry about it, now I'm just a blind old spider waiting to die."
Looking at the giant spiders that were constantly gathering towards them, Harry and Ron couldn't help but nervously grabbed Sherlock's robes.
They looked at each other with pale faces, and both saw their common thoughts in each other's eyes.
Professor Forrest's crow's mouth has come true again!
"Beasts are animals." Sherlock's voice was cold and calm. "No matter how nice people are to animals, animals still only follow their own instincts. It's really disgusting."
Aragog did not respond to his words, because at this time, those giant spiders had already swarmed, and they were about to be drowned.
Harry and Ron screamed in horror, and this time Sherlock finally waved his wand!
"Incendio."
Bright yellow flames surrounded him, and the blazing high temperature drove the surrounding spiders back, protecting Harry, Ron, himself and Fang.
"What do we do professor now?" Harry asked eagerly.
Sherlock controlled the flames and continued to spread them out, spreading the flame spell to a five-meter radius around him.
Those giant spiders gave in one after another. Not only were they afraid of high temperature, but the strong light source also prevented them from approaching easily.
"Follow me, grab my arm, don't let go." Sherlock quickly instructed Harry and the others, and then began to walk towards the periphery of the spider swarm with the protection of flames.
Although acromantula are classified as magical creatures of the xxxxx danger level, their weaknesses are also extremely obvious.
That is the fear of fire.
Sherlock stayed at Hogwarts for more than half a year, and he hadn't mastered a lot of advanced spells, but he hadn't mastered advanced spells yet but were very familiar.
Even the fire spell he used was stronger than a normal wizard.
In his spare time, he had some simple exchanges with Professor Flitwick, who was at the master level in charms.
Even the spell master, who has been teaching at Hogwarts for decades, praised the strength of his spells.
He thought that during the years he was at home, he had not neglected the training and study of magic, and he did not realize that Sherlock had only just started to get in touch with magic for more than half a year.
It was because of this that he was very suspicious of the contents of the book "Soul Stitching" written by the original owner's mother, which he found in the library.
Obviously, if the soul is torn apart, it will reduce the strength of magic, but why does it increase when it comes to him?
Under the protection of the flames, Sherlock took Harry and Ron out of the spider's lair.
But those spiders who have been suppressed by Aragog and have never tasted the taste of human flesh since birth had no intention of giving up.
They were still like the wolves behind the yak, hanging Sherlock and the others from afar, ready to attack when the flames disappeared.
"You really treat me like an innocent child." Sherlock pouted.
The flames continued to surround them. At the same time, he waved his wand at a pile of dead branches on the ground. The branches were connected end to end and turned into a long iron chain.
These chains were hidden in the leaves and were very inconspicuous. Sherlock and the others were still retreating, and the chains continued to extend under his transfiguration spell until a spider's long legs touched the chains he left in place!
"Whoosh!"
Those chains that were turned from branches suddenly circled up like swimming snakes, and in just a few seconds, they wrapped around the bodies of five spiders, tying them firmly like tying crabs!
Sherlock waved his wand at the trees above the spiders again, and the leaves above them turned into sharp swords in the next second, falling down!
"Pfft!"
The blade instantly pierced the huge abdomen of the eight-eyed giant spider, and green blood splattered everywhere!
The five caught spiders struggled desperately, trying to escape the range of the sword rain, but they couldn't break free from the chains that bound them, they could only be pierced with the swords. Lying on the ground completely dead.
For the huge spider group, the death of five spiders was insubstantial, but it formed a powerful deterrent.
After all, in this forbidden forest, they have had no natural predators since they were born, and they have never had a single being kill a few of their kind at the same kind. Even the centaurs swallowed up their own territory being occupied by them.
Sherlock's counterattack caused fear in their hearts. Although they did not stop tracking, they also slowed down their pace significantly.
After walking out of the spider swarm's territory, the surrounding trees began to get denser and denser. Killing five spiders created a deterrent. Sherlock immediately burst out the flame spell, spreading to all corners of the ten-meter radius!
The flames rolled, and the heat wave rose!
The trees were set ablaze, creating a heat barrier between them and the spider colony.
This time, the spider swarm's continued stalking was finally stopped completely, and Sherlock took Harry Ron and Hagrid's dog to escape from the spider swarm's trail.
Looking at the fire burning behind him, Harry asked worriedly.
"Professor, will this burn the entire forbidden forest?"
Sherlock grabbed his back collar directly, lifted him to the front, pushed him, and told him to leave quickly.
"You look down on me too much. The Forbidden Forest is so big. Even if Dumbledore came, he would not dare to say that he could burn the Forbidden Forest. Not to mention the centaurs who live here, they will organize firefighting."
Having said that, he also looked back at the spider swarms that were blocked on the other side of the sea of fire and said coldly.
"But things can't be left like this. I heard that the venom of these beasts can sell for sky-high prices in Knockturn Alley. Sooner or later, I will come to them to make a fortune!"
