Chapter 130 Spider Den
After many explorations in the last semester, Xie Lin was already very familiar with the terrain of the Forbidden Forest.
He knew that there would be a big battle next, and signaled Dobby and Winky to leave first.
He put on the night star cloak. The cloak has been improved by his alchemy, and the "Guardian" rune is engraved on it. At this moment, there are faint light blue ripples in the surrounding air.
He put on dueling gloves, which he re-weaved with unicorn and xiezhi tail hairs, one black and one white wool, and covered them with a new layer. When he held the wand, the wand made a pleasant voiceless sound, and the grain on the grapevine wood faintly revealed a crystal luster.Schelling, who is well-read, knew that this was because the "power of death" in the wand had been neutralized by the "power of sanctity" in the glove, and the core of the wand had undergone transformation.
The power of death is not the end.
So what is behind death?
Schelling had great expectations for his wand.
He put on the Ravenclaw crown, and a familiar spiritual force appeared in his mind. The pupils of Schelling's eyes changed back and forth among the four colors of orange, green, blue, and milky white. Even the wind and grass within a hundred meters could not hide from his perception.
He also wears Slytherin's locket, although the secret of this box he has not yet cracked.He suspects that only a Parseltalker will be able to unlock the locket's secrets.
He reached Aragog's lair alone.
He didn't deliberately hide himself, so soon, he was discovered by the group of eight-eyed spiders. Countless, densely packed giant spiders appeared from all directions, surrounding Xie Lin layer by layer.
"Aragok! Aragog!" Several little spiders kept shouting.Although it speaks English, it is difficult to understand because it rattles its claws with each word.
Aragog emerged very slowly from a hidden burrow.His body was the size of a small elephant, and its body and legs were black and gray, and each eye was clouded with white over the hideous clawed head.It is blind.
"What's the matter?" it said, clicking, and the two big claws moved rapidly.
"Man," said a little spider. "There's only one this time, and it's different from the two that came last time."
Aragog asked in an old and tired voice, "Is that Hagrid?"
Schelling replied calmly, "I'm not Hagrid. I'm his friend. He asked me to come and find you."
Aragog hesitated for a while, and then slowly said: "Hagrid never sends anyone to find me, you should tell me first, what's the matter with him asking you to come here?"
"Hagrid asked me to come here because he wanted to get into the depths of the spider den to get something."
Aragog seemed to be enraged, and his claws kept opening and closing with clicks and clicks, "How dare you lie to me! Children, kill him!"
The eight-eyed spiders that had been eyeing for a long time made excited clicking sounds, and their countless long legs were rustling. The spiders were slowly approaching Xie Lin, ready to swarm up like patient predators.
For this result, Schelling had long been prepared.
At the moment when he was surrounded, he observed the position of every spider here with "God Peeking into the Sky". He shot four sonic boom spells to the surroundings in an instant. The four sonic boom spells exploded at the same time with an astonishing loud noise, shaking all the spiders within the observation range into a daze, and the ear-piercing screams unique to spiders came and went.
Schelling took a deep breath, gripped his wand tightly, and planned to cast a spell that he had never used in actual combat.
"Fierce fire burns the sky!"
A wisp of azure blue flame spewed out from the end of the wand and fell to the ground. It ignited with a "puff" sound. The flame seemed to rise spiritually, and then fell again. It continued to expand and spread in the crackling sound, and finally rolled up high into the sky like a tornado, with an astonishing momentum.
After the flame tornado dispersed, it turned into all kinds of ferocious beasts—fire snakes, chimeras, and fire dragons, making terrible rumbling noises. They rushed towards Xie Lin in all directions, burning the eight-eyed spiders to pieces, and fled in all directions.
The Fiendflame with curse power, also known as the devil's flame, cannot be extinguished by physical means. No matter where the spider infected with Fiendflame escapes, it will die, and a huge number of spiders are rushing left and right densely, spreading the Fiendflame on their bodies more quickly.One pass ten, ten pass one hundred, and soon, the visible range is full of burning and screaming spiders, and the whole picture is like a purgatory on earth.
After this battle, there might not be one eight-eyed spider in the Forbidden Forest, so he gave up the throne of the Forbidden Forest overlord.
The moment Fiendfire was released, Aragog seemed to sense danger, and hurriedly retreated to the crypt.Don't look at it's old age and huge body, it really moves without muddling, it is very flexible and agile!
Schelling quickly rushed in Aragog's direction.
The biggest problem with Fiendfire is that he doesn't distinguish between friend and foe, and everything will be burned. If Xie Lin stays here, even he himself will be in danger.
While he was sprinting, he used his wand to spew the "Whirlwind Curse" backwards. The whirlwind acted like a propeller to speed up his forward speed. At the same time, the wind helped the fire and made the devil flame behind him burn more violently.
Although Aragog was blind, he also had a sharper sense of hearing because he relied on hearing for many years. It judged the direction of Schelling based on the wind caused by Schelling's movement. At this moment, it stretched out its big pincers like lightning to catch Schelling!
Xie Lin lowered his left hand slightly, and a sterling silver dagger slipped into his hand from the cuff pocket. After injecting magic power, the "Invincibility Curse" on it was activated, and the palm holding the dagger tightly could faintly feel the sharpness coming from it.Xie Lin narrowed his eyes slightly, without pausing for a moment, and swung the dagger in a Z-shape, as if piercing into tofu, with a light stroke, the pair of big claws that hit him were cleanly severed!
Aragog let out a painful scream, and a large cloud of dark green liquid spewed out of his mouthparts.
Xie Lin's movements were like clouds and flowing water. Before Aragog erupted the venom, he flew forward and quickly rolled to the ground, rolling under Aragog's body.
When he stood up, he lifted the dagger upwards vigorously, and pierced Aragog's chest with a "poof". Without stopping at his feet, he pulled the dagger and rushed towards Aragog's tail.The dagger passed along Aragog's chest unimpededly across his lower abdomen and tail, and there was a long "hissing" sound in his ears, just like the sound of cloth being cut open.
Passing through Aragog's huge body, Schelling continued to rush forward without looking back, ignoring the loud sound of a huge object falling to the ground behind him.
The end of the crypt is a vast and huge underground space.
There are no other creatures in the crypt.
This is also the reason why Xie Lin deliberately revealed his position at the beginning.Rather than sneaking into an unknown crypt and being attacked by eight-eyed spiders in the dark, it is better to choose the battlefield by yourself from the beginning, and lure all the eight-eyed spiders out to solve it.
Xie Lin's magical eyes scanned all directions, and there was a faint wave of magical power permeating the air.
He explored the crypt following the strength of the magic fluctuations, and found an underground spring.At the origin of the spring water, there is a magic circle shining with a thick emerald green luster. Above the center of the formation, there is a group of liquid energy emitting seven colors of light floating in mid-air.
The group of seven-color energy is like a cloud, constantly changing its shape in mid-air, strands of hair-thin magical power overflowing from it, passing through the barrier of the magic circle and seeping into the spring water.
Schelling guessed that this might be the answer to the mystery of eight-eyed spider reproduction.
Aragog has been drinking this spring water with strong vitality for a long time, which is why he can live so long, and the entire eight-eyed spider group often drinks this spring water, which is why they have such an amazing reproduction rate.
The magic array is very complicated, layers of ancient runes, like layers of barriers trap the seven-color power in the center of the array.A Guruni magic talisman is engraved on the eye of the magic circle, which is exactly the "Isa" (Isa) seen on the freezer door!
The eye of the magic circle is like a door, and this "frozen" magic talisman is a lock, as long as this magic talisman is cracked, the entire magic circle can be opened.
Sherin was now finally sure that he had found the real Hufflepuff treasure.
Xie Lin put away his wand and dagger, closed his eyes, visualized every stroke and every drawing of the "frozen" magic talisman, and imitated countless times in his mind to release this rune by casting spells from the ancient runes.
With Xie Lin's mental strength and the increase of the crown of wisdom, it only takes a few minutes.
It must be extremely difficult to learn Guruni spells for the first time, because it is like a baby learning to speak for the first time, it is a process from zero to one.
Think about it, how long it took Schelling from the first time he came into contact with the ancient runic spellcasting (beginning with Kaunaz, the goblin sacred fire last semester), to the last time he fully mastered the first ancient runic talisman "Guardian" (Eihwaz) in his life, allowing it to be visualized and display its full power.
Although "freezing" and "guarding" are quite different in terms of the outline of the graphics and the meaning contained in them, experience can be used for reference.
Xie Lin raised his right hand and drew the "frozen" rune symbol with his index finger in mid-air. The magic talisman took shape in mid-air, exuding an astonishing chill, and turned into a white light that shot into the magic circle.
It worked!
Maybe Xie Lin can't visualize the "frozen" magic talisman, but he can shoot the magic talisman like a spell and feel the chill inside, which already shows that Xie Lin has initially mastered this magic talisman.
In addition to "Guardian", "Frozen" can be regarded as the second magic talisman mastered by Xie Lin, which is already a very remarkable achievement.Thinking of those senior traversers in the previous life who could casually treat Guruni's spellcasting as a toy, Xie Lin felt a burst of envy and hatred.
The magic circle was cracked successfully, and the emerald green luster gradually dimmed.
Xie Lin raised his right hand and made a light move in the air, and the seven-color energy floating in mid-air flew into Xie Lin's hand.
As soon as his hand touched that energy, he felt an extremely cool and magical power pouring from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, and his body underwent obvious changes. His body functions were strengthened from skin to muscles to bones, and even his five senses, such as vision and hearing, were sharper than before.
Schelling knew that this energy was the "source of life" described on the elven tablet, and it belonged to the most advanced power in magic like Ravenclaw's "crystal of wisdom".
After absorbing the source of life that Hufflepuff cultivated all his life, Schelling's body was like a perfect alchemy item. Various patterns of magic marks appeared on the skin. The marks were not black, but exuded the luster of seven colors like a rainbow.
Xie Lin could feel that his body was full of strong vitality. This vitality was constantly transforming Xie Lin's body. Not only did he have a stronger self-healing ability, but he also had the potential to hold more magic power.Xie Lin's body seemed to be a stretched container, because the space inside the container became larger, so Xie Lin's magic power also increased accordingly.
Xie Lin carefully comprehended the changes in his body, and the secrets of the special skills that came with it. The secrets left by Hufflepuff can stimulate the huge vitality in the body. As long as he does not die, any serious injury on the body can be instantly healed.
