Chapter 128 Aragog
Getting lost in a dense forest is a very normal thing.Lu Ren recalled that Hagrid once warned him not to deviate from the forest path in the Forbidden Forest, that is to say, as long as he didn't deviate from the path, there would generally be no major problems.
But any road, if you walk along it, you will always find its starting point or end point, and there is no harm in walking along it.Moreover, there are quite a few forces in the Forbidden Forest who are friendly with the wizards, such as the centaur, the unicorn herd, etc., if you meet anyone, you can take him out of the Forbidden Forest.With this in mind, Lu Ren walked along the path in front of him for another quarter of an hour, but the path in front of him gradually became strange.
Looking at the messy traces on the path in front of him, it was hard for Lu Ren to convince himself that they were footprints left by humans.The surrounding environment is also somewhat unusual: the trees here are extremely dense, and the branches are entangled together, almost completely covering the sky. Although the trees are dense, this place is much quieter than other places.
At the end of the path was a small opening, from which there was faint light. Lu Ren walked forward dozens of steps, and the scenery suddenly opened up. A very shocking scene appeared before Lu Ren's eyes: a piece of In the open depression, all the trees in the depression have been cleared, and the inside is densely covered with spiders.
"There is no warning sign in such a dangerous place!" The first thing Lu Ren thought of was this. He thought that after leaving, he must set up a sign indicating that there are spiders 500 meters ahead.
The spiders in the depressions are completely different from the spiders that you can see in daily life. Ordinary spiders are only as big as a palm, but the spiders in the depressions are as big as a horse pulling a cart, and the small ones are about the size of a goat.
Octopus.Native to the dense jungle of Kalimantan, it is cruel by nature, likes to eat human flesh, and is extremely dangerous.
In 50 years, in less than 50 years, the pair of acromantulas released by Hagrid had bred such a huge group.There are only so many of them because this is a forbidden forest!There are other magical animals with super combat power here. If it were an ordinary forest, there might not be any other animals left in the entire forest, and it is unlikely that there will be human settlements around the forest.
If these guys really become popular, I'm afraid the wizarding world really can't handle it, and the Muggles will need to dispatch enough troops to wipe them out.However, these spiders do not constitute species invasion. Compared with apple snails, Brazilian tortoises, and scavenger hunts, acromantulas are just as fun.It's really urgent, the white phosphorous bombs and napalm bombs will come first, and the spiders present may all see Merlin. (Merlin: Don't come here!)
Although it is easy for Muggles to destroy this group, Lu Ren felt that it would be better not to disturb them when he was alone. He wanted to turn around, but he heard a loud clicking sound behind him, and several huge eight-eyed giants The spider descended from the sky and blocked his way of retreat. Lu Ren looked around and saw that the path when he came was covered with spiders.
There was a spider very close to him, less than two meters away. Lu Ren could clearly see its eight strangely long legs covered with black bristles, and a pair of shiny black claws on the front of its head. .But these spiders are not so disgusting when they grow so big, but they look a bit like giant bread crabs?
Once this setting is accepted, the sight in front of him is not so suffocating - Lu Ren usually suffers cardiopulmonary arrest when he sees cockroaches, if these spiders are ordinary little spiders, he may have died of a heart attack by now .But these terrifying animals look like crabs when they are magnified a few billion times...
The spiders became excited when they saw a living person intruding in. They moved the claws on their heads one after another, making clicking sounds. Soon, only this sound was left in the entire depression.Lu Ren saw only one emotion in their small eyes: longing.They looked at Lu Ren as if they were looking at some luxury food.
A disturbing and multiplied atmosphere gradually filled the entire depression.And the only factor that kept them restrained was the huge monster entrenched in the center of the hollow spider web.
"Aragok! Aragog!" yelled a buggy-sized spider. It was difficult to understand what it was saying, because the spider had to shake its claws every time it said a word.Obviously, as a community of giant arachnids with extremely strict hierarchy, even if they eat, they must get permission from the ancestors of the family.In other words, the ancestors must be the first to eat...
Whether the ancestors eat or not is one thing, but whether the descendants report it is another.Although Aragog is old and dying, he still has basic control over the family.
Soon, there was a painful roar from the misty hemispherical spider web, and a spider the size of an Asian elephant slowly got out of the spider web.Its body and legs were black and gray, and it was so old that it was blind--a white cloud over each eye over its head.
"What's the matter?" it asked the gigantic spider, moving its pincers swiftly.Truth be told, Aragog's accent is much lighter than that of its descendants.
"Man!" a spider beside it rushed to say.And this word made the spiders in the hollow even more excited.
"Is that Hagrid?" said Aragog, and it crawled out a little more, its eight milky eyes staring blankly. "I didn't feel his scent or vibration."
"It's a stranger."
"Then kill him." Aragog became irritable, "I need to rest..."
"Wait a minute, I'm Hagrid's friend..." Lu Ren took out his wand.
Aragog hesitated for a moment, "Hagrid never sends anyone over..." it said slowly.
Lu Ren: "Hagrid went to watch the Quidditch match today, so I came here instead of him." Lu Ren knew that at this time, he had to confirm his identity as Hagrid's emissary, otherwise it would not be enough to be Hagrid's friend. Let them send him away-Harry and Ron who almost fed spiders in the original book are a lesson from the past.
Moreover, Lu Ren had an intuition that Aragog's restraint on his descendants was already very weak. Even if Aragog agreed to Lu Ren's departure, Lu Ren had to be prepared: the possibility of the spider's obedience to others was not ruled out.This situation may have been completely impossible ten years ago, but at present Aragog's fire of life is less than five years left, and it is very normal for a dying leader's control to decline.
You must know that according to the custom of the giant eight-eyed spider, the dead leader will also be reduced to food...
