Chapter 211 The magic world has also made progress
After observing for a while, Rice felt that the giant spider in front of him fit the description of a magical animal called Acromantula mentioned in the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them". 【】【u】【x】【.】【c】【o】【m】
He came to the complete spider body and counted its eyes. It was indeed eight. Combined with other characteristics, Les could be sure that the guy in front of him was the Acromantula. This giant spider grows deep in the dense forests of Kalimantan Island in southeastern Asia. It is a species cultivated by wizards to protect their residences or treasures.
‘It’s a newly cultivated species. ’ Les realized something.
Although in some aspects, the modern magical world has taken a big step back from the thousand-year-old magical world, there has always been some innovation and development in the magical world over the past thousand years.
For example, the new species Acromantula.
After a brief battle, Les was convinced that this thing was designed to target wizards: it was elusive, had no magic power fluctuations on its body, and attacked extremely fast. It actually appeared in groups, which was a nemesis for wizards who were short of melee combat. The only flaw is that it makes a "click-click" sound when in action.
If he was not the one leading the team, and if he had reacted a little slower just now, Astoria might have been kidnapped - Daphne has a necklace to protect herself, so it wouldn't be a big problem, but Astoria doesn't have such good equipment. Well, considering that the Acromantula is cruel in nature and likes to eat human flesh, the consequences of being kidnapped may be disastrous.
"It's an Acromantula. I didn't expect such a thing to exist in the Forbidden Forest - we don't need to look for that wild boar." The little sparrow released by Les sent back the information. The wild boar he was looking for was now covered in blood. It was covered with spider silk from top to bottom and hung on the top of a tree not far away.
Rice thought his basilisk might prefer these spiders to the slutty and smelly boars.
"Acromantula, I remember seeing it in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them..." After hearing what Les said, Daphne stopped cleaning the spider body fluids from her body and recalled the description of Acromantula in the book. Description of the giant eye spider.
"I have seen this creature in the drugstore before. Its venom is very valuable. A pint can sell for a hundred galleons." Astoria said suddenly.
"Huh?" Les raised his head suddenly.
A hundred galleons a pint? ! real or fake? ! This kind of thing has not been caught and extinct yet. Is it because wizards pay too much attention to animal protection and sustainable development?
The two spider corpses in front of him gradually changed in Les' eyes. They were no longer spiders, but two piles of gold.
"Really? Is its venom so valuable?" Les happily took out a crystal bottle and a pair of dragon skin gloves, and then began to search for the spider's poison sac in the spider's corpse.
Although he still left a lot of "funeral objects", one can't just sit back and have nothing, right? It would be great to have additional income items.
A pint costs one hundred galleons, how many goblins must be killed to exchange for it!
More importantly, Les doesn't think that all modern wizards are grudges. The fact that the venom of the eight-eyed spider can be sold at this price shows that it can definitely be used to prepare very precious potions.
Astoria hesitated after being asked by Les, because she was not sure whether the Acromantula's venom was really worth that much money--in order to treat her own illness, her father was often treated by those businessmen. Head-on slaughter.
"It should be so expensive," Daphne, who was a little slower, helped Les analyze it: "Acromantulas are not easy to hunt, they are too dangerous."
Speaking of this, she was also a little scared: If it had been a second late...
I'm afraid Les will have to chase spiders in the dense forest now.
Les thought what she said made sense, but this kind of thing was still rare and expensive. If he were to sell a few gallons of venom at once, the market price would probably collapse.
Generally speaking, the shelf life of biological venom is not long, so it is useless even if you buy it and store it, because it will deteriorate in a short time.
Thinking of this, Les couldn't help but speed up. He followed the spider's fangs and successfully found the poison glands of the Acromantula. Rice was lucky. Neither the wind blade nor the attack magic destroyed the Acromantula's poison glands.
Compared with their huge body size, the venom glands of Acromantulas are much smaller, and the three spiders together contribute only one pint of venom. Considering their huge size, the venom may be used more for digesting food.
After taking the venom, Les helped Daphne remove the dirt from the robe - this did not shake Daphne's determination to throw away the robe. Disposing of the spider carcass was the last thing he did before leaving.
"I always feel that there are more than just these three spiders in the Forbidden Forest. There is probably a nest of Acromantula deep in the Forbidden Forest." Astoria took a look at the size of the three-headed spider and came to a conclusion. .
"It's obvious." Rice agreed with her statement. The three spiders were similar in size and of the same gender, making it difficult to believe that they were loners.
But Les had no intention of following the clues to find their nests and wipe them out. In his opinion, the killing of Acromantulas should be restrained, but these cornucopias should not be exterminated, let alone destroy the existing venom trading market.
As for the risks brought by the Acromantula, the Forbidden Forest is a place full of dangers. If it is not dangerous enough, how can it serve as a training ground for students?
He even planned to send Astoria to the Forbidden Forest for training.
Les used a freezing spell on the three corpses to freeze their wounds, and then cast a disembodiment spell on them one after another.
Looking at the three-headed spider gradually disappearing from her eyes, Daphne's expression relaxed a lot: these three big guys look so impressive!
Astoria saw the change in her sister's expression, and a thoughtful expression flashed across her face.
When the three of them set foot on the return journey, Les asked the Greengrass sisters to go at the front. He used a floating spell to control the corpses of the three Acromantulas to float behind them, while he fell at the end of the team. noodle.
Astoria spent a little effort to determine the location of a spider, and then with a flick of her wand, the spider's legs lifted up and hit the soft flesh of Daphne's waist.
Daphne let out a scream and jumped far away, nearly two meters away.
When she realized it was her sister's prank, she immediately raised her fists and rushed towards Astoria.
Astoria smiled happily and ran forward quickly along the path.
Daphne snorted, raised her wand, and a vine that had been cut off by Les rose into the air, causing Astoria to stumble. While she was getting up, Daphne rushed up, rode on her back and scratched the soft flesh under her armpits and abdomen.
Rice looked at the two people fighting, shook his head helplessly and smiled: He can't control these two girls!
