Wilkes did not stand still, and he continued to wave his wand, controlling the flames of the blazing wildfire, forming a sacred circle of fire.

The fire python kept pouncing at the eight-eyed giant spider; it was unstoppable.

Countless eight-eyed giant spiders with bright red eyes were not afraid of death, rushed to the fire python one after another, their chelates bit on the fire python's body, and they injected the venom into the fire python's body.

Suddenly, among the massive miserable black smoke, purple smoke filled the air.

But the venom did not block the fire python at all because Wilkes controlled it. So, they had to get Wilkes down first.

But the eight-eyed giant spider is in a completely different situation. Almost all the eight-eyed giant spiders have been killed when their chelates bit on the fire python, and their limbs have turned into black coke.

After a few minutes, countless remains of the eight-eyed giant spider turned into coke. Under the crush of the other spiders and the fire python, the remains dissipated in the air, resulting in a cloud of thick dust.

A sour smell spread in the air.

"Click! Click!"

Numerous eight-eyed giant spiders kept screaming, attacking the fire python fiercely, but it did not work at all.

Finally, all the eight-eyed giant spiders seemed to recognize the situation clearly, but it was too late.

However, within a few minutes, all the eight-eyed giant spiders evacuated.

"Uh, uh?" In the center of the fire circle, Wilkes, who was still struggling, frowned, stopped moving, and the wand that was held high was slowly lowered.

As the magic power ceased, the flames of the surroundings began to dissipate gradually, and the giant fire python turned into a pool of sparks and then scattered in the air.

"What's the matter? This is just the beginning. Why did the eight-eyed giant spider retreat so decisively?" Wilkes frowned, with some doubts.

Although in this result just now, the eight-eyed giant spider seems to have suffered tragic casualties, for the population of the eight-eyed giant spider, maybe it is not a significant loss.

Wilkes stood there and guessed, with the retreat of the eight-eyed giant spiders, it should not be so easy to evacuate as fast as they knew the trap.

"Could it be...? Aragog?" Wilkes suddenly thought of the old eight-eyed giant spider, the leader of all the eight-eyed giant spiders in the Forbidden Forest.

If it were Aragog, Wilkes would not be surprised. Compared to other eight-eyed giant spiders, Aragog possessed wisdom comparable to an ordinary human.

It cannot watch its own children and die in vain, nor would it take such a considerable risk just for Wilkes to be a "prey."

Wilkes thought in his heart and nodded, feeling like that this is what it should be.

"I don't know if killing Aragog can trigger the system? If it can, then..." Wilkes gritted his teeth, feeling a little bit moved in his heart.

Every time the system is triggered, the inherited abilities will give him unimaginable benefits, and he cannot help but be moved.

However, for now, he still needs to stay here for a while.

"I should clean up the mess first and follow the eight-eyed giant spiders to see if there is a chance. Maybe I can find Aragog. At that time, even if I can't kill it, I can..." Wilkes's eyes flashed with excitement, and smiled bitterly.

Every time he smiles like this, it means that he already has a plan in his heart.

After making up his mind, Wilkes quickly returned to his senses and cast his gaze around, or in other words, focused on the area around the battlefield ground a few meters away.

Before the battle, there was still a thin layer of snow on the ground, and the surrounding towering trees were arranged orderly. They were filled with frost and fog, and it was extremely quiet.

And now, by looking at them, you can see the leaves on the surrounding trees burned out completely, leaving only the charcoal branches of the trees.

On the ground, there is a thick layer of black coke mixed with the broken limbs.

It is like having experienced the wildfire of the forest.

Wilkes glanced at it without pausing and stretched out his left hand that was wrapped in bandages, with his palm facing the battlefield; he could not help but growl in excitement:

"Son of Death!"

"Rise, my servants!"

Hum!

The battlefield, which itself had been thoroughly exposed to the forbidden forest, suddenly emitted countless fluorescent particles that were floating in the air, without the shelter of trees, soaring into the sky.

Almost every inch of the land was occupied by fluorescent light. The next moment, the cyan fluorescent particles in the air began to condense on the ground and take shape.

After a few minutes, Wilkes breathed a little bit quickly, looking around him as if surrounded by the fluorescent eight-eyed giant spiders, and then laughed in joy.

Even if he only glanced at them, Wilkes knew that it was only this moment that the number of soul servants of the eight-eyed giant spiders he had harvested would probably be no less than five or six hundred souls.

Five or six hundred servants!

This power is beyond imagination!

This means that even if Wilkes does not choose to swallow them, he can control five or six hundred eight-eyed giant spiders at will to fight for himself as long as he wants to.

This means that even an Auror-level wizard will only end up fleeing in a fight against him.

Because of what?

Because the countless fluorescent eight-eyed giant spiders surrounded him with the mortal body of the wizard, any wizard will never choose to fight Wilkes, even if he had a lot of magic power.

How can he?

Unless Wilkes acts not seriously, otherwise, in addition to fleeing, even the ordinary Auror will end up losing his life.
