Chapter 254

If Solim had known what Richie was thinking, he would have said they were overthinking.

He didn't make a move because Solim didn't want to reveal his position, and another reason was that Solim couldn't ignore these magic fires. Without the support of magic, these magical fires will eventually be extinguished. But before that, these magical fires will spread, and then ignite nearby trees, and the spread of fires does not need the support of magical power. If left unchecked, these magical fires can cause very serious damage to the Forbidden Forest. It's not that Solim cares about flowers and trees, it's just that he doesn't want to take responsibility afterwards. Leaving no one else to talk about it, Dumbledore definitely can't hide it from him, and Solim doesn't want to stiffen the relationship with Dumbledore because of this kind of thing.

After all the flames were extinguished, there were still sporadic fires caused by mortal fires, but these Solim didn't care. He didn't have much time to put out the fire.

Richie and Lemston were bitten very tightly by the snakes, and the rustling sound around them made them dare not stop, not because they were afraid of snakes, but because they were afraid that they would not be able to walk if they stopped. Solim obviously knew where they were, it was obviously not a good idea to fight the faceless Solim in the dim Forbidden Forest, the snakes would cause them a great disturbance in the battle, Solim was a parseltongue This is a change that the two of Richie could not have imagined, if it weren't for so many snakes, they wouldn't be so embarrassed at all.

Don't underestimate these snakes that aren't even magical creatures. There are currently enough of them to kill both of them - if they lose their wands.

Rich and Lambston are not only chased by snakes behind them, but also blocked by snakes in front. This kept them from moving fast, and they had to tense their nerves to deal with a sudden sneak attack. The two of them never imagined that one day they would be so disgraced and embarrassed by these ordinary snakes.

Solim was much faster in pursuit, and snakes in some directions began to desperately stop the two of Richie, trying to get them to change their course.

"That bastard isn't far off. Richie was keenly aware of the change, and the snakes began to attack them with more force, trying to slow them down, which meant that Solim was coming.

"It's too dense with trees here!" Lemston waved his hand to cut a snake that sneaked up on a branch in half, "not for combat." "

"What doesn't work for us, is it for him?" Richie holds his wand in his right hand and grips the portkey tightly in his left hand, and he will not hesitate to use the portkey to escape to Durmstrang's big ship at the slightest chance of activation.

"Is this the way we walked before?" Lymston felt a little strange around them, they had been to the Forbidden Forest several times, and now the surrounding landscape seemed to be unseen.

The dark, damp environment around them can make it increasingly difficult for them to cope with snake attacks......

"Sacchi, something is wrong!" Lumston suddenly called out to Rich.

"Indeed...... There are fewer attacks. "

Finding out about this fact, Richie and Lemston did not relax in the slightest, on the contrary, they became more vigilant. The snakes retreated, does that mean Solim has arrived?

But it didn't make sense, wouldn't it be better to sneak up under the cover of the snakes? They never thought that Solim would give up the pursuit, and unless the two of them ran out of the Forbidden Forest, the thought would not come to their minds.

"No!" Richie seemed to wake up, "No! Remember the serpent attacks we encountered along the way? We guessed wrong, it wasn't the mongrel coming, it was ......"

“...... Drive us in one direction?" Lerston was also aware of this.

"Be careful, there's something wrong with this place...... Richie cautiously observed his surroundings, dead trees, broken branches and leaves, and there was only loess on the ground and no vegetation cover. A damp and shady place like this should have a lot of bryophytes, but here there are only clods of dirt on the ground. The light streaming through the treetops made it clear to Richie that it was a dark, damp, lifeless place.

"Don't you think...... Is it too quiet?" Lymston whispered, "and the snakes have completely retreated. "

After a brief moment of stunnedness, Richie's eyes lit up with joy.

"Good chance!" flipped over and pulled out the portkey, "Hurry up, it's only going to take five seconds for us to leave." "

The portkey could have been activated a long time ago, but Richie and the others had struggled to find a chance to stop and activate it. This place may seem spooky, but now is the perfect time to activate your portkey.

Unbeknownst to Richie and Lymston, they had broken into the territory of the Eight-Eyed Spider, and that above Lymston's head hung a "little one" about a foot long, which was indeed a "little one" for a population of Eight-Eyed Spiders.

Animal hunting is generally done selectively for the elderly, the young, and ...... Wounded. Lymston was injured in the previous encounter, and he was "lucky" to be the target of the Eight-Eyed Spider - although the little guy above his head could only be counted as an eight-eyed "small" spider.

The little one was small, but the skill of hunting was instinctive, and the little guy swooped down on Lemston's shoulder and bit him hard, injecting venom into the unlucky man of Lemston.

Richie and the others didn't notice anything before the Eight-Eyed Spider attacked, and they didn't feel any danger.

If the previous sneak attacks on them by snakes on tree branches, in the grass, and in the bushes were naïve and useless, then the sneak attacks launched by the eight-eyed giant spider were hidden and deadly.

When Solim was in the second grade, he took Sylna to the Eight-Eyed Spider's lair to "hunt", and Solim said at that time: If you enter the range of the Eight-Eyed Spider and don't know it, then it is only a matter of time before you are sucked dry. At that time, Solim was mentally prepared, knowing what he would face, and where the eight-eyed spider would like to launch a sneak attack from. Wizards who are well-prepared and know how to defend themselves against the Eight-Eyed Spider are overwhelmingly superior when it comes to these man-eating monsters—Solim's second-year work is a prime example. A small flame can ignite an eight-eyed spider.

But two people like Rich and Lambston...... They had no idea where they had been, or what monsters were entrenched there, and the previous attack by the snakes had kept their attention on the ground and the branches, and they completely ignored the threat overhead.

It wasn't until Lymston screamed and fell to the ground that Richie reacted, and he quickly knocked the spider off Lymston's shoulder.

"Damn! It's the Eight-Eyed Spider. "

Richie's eyes flickered as he looked at Lambston, who had been infused with venom, not knowing what he was thinking.
