Chapter 85: Spider!!!

Chapter 85: Spider!!!

The twins were both surprised and confused as they were dragged far away by Coven. After circling around two huge trees, the three of them finally stopped.

Only then did George ask in confusion, "Coven, why are you dragging us away?"

Fred also asked, "Is there any danger there just now?"

"You don't know?" Coven looked at the twins.

The twins looked at each other blankly, then asked in unison, "What do you know?"

"Well, it seems that you don't know."

Coven nodded understandingly and then explained, "Those insects were Australia's native, Billywig. Although they are not dangerous to us, they are more troublesome."

"What trouble?" asked the twins.

"People who are stung by Billywig will feel dizzy." Coven continued to explain, "Then it will float up involuntarily as if someone has cast a 'floating spell'."

The twins heard this and looked at each other again. Then they said excitedly, "That's so fun!"

"It is not as simple as you think." Coven shook his head with a smile and prompted, "Once someone is stung by it, that person will drift uncontrollably in the air for several days in a row. If it is serious, the person who is allergic to their venom will become permanently floating in the air! There were too many of them just now. If we disturb them and get stung by that kind of number, we will float for many days at least."

Hearing this, the twins recovered from their excited state and showed a little frightened expression.

"Now you know, right? I told you that the Forbidden Forest is very dangerous. In the future, it's best if you don't come over." Coven told his twin friends.

"Just like today, if I hadn't read the introduction of Billywig in the book, I'm afraid we would all be in danger."

The twins were a little embarrassed, but they did not give any guarantees.

Obviously, Coven's advice could not extinguish their adventurous spirit.

Coven also knew that saying too much would cause people to have a rebellious mentality, so he did not talk too much.

....

After a while, the three of them chose another direction and continued to explore.

Along the way, the three of them found many small magical creatures.

Relying on the self-created 'Gold Finger', Coven had already read the entire book and remembered it.

Therefore, Coven could quickly compare the magical animals he encountered along the way and introduce them to the magical creatures that the twins did not know.

Unknowingly, it was past one in the middle of the night. The twins were a little tired, so the three of them were ready to return.

However, they had not gone far when they suddenly heard the sound of branches colliding behind them.

Coven was the first to turn around. He took out his wand and was on guard in the direction of the sound. He narrowed his eyes and looked a little solemn.

When the twins saw this, they quickly raised their wands. George was on guard against the left side of the three, and Fred was on guard against the right side of the three.

"What did you find?" George did not hear anything, so he was on guard and asked Coven.

"I heard the sound of branches breaking." Coven explained in a low voice, "Only something that is not small can make the branches emit that kind of sound."

Hearing this, Fred became nervous and carefully asked in a soft voice, "That should be, God! That is..."

As soon as Fred finished speaking, a huge figure slowly appeared behind a big tree pointed by Coven's wand.

It was a huge grey spider. It was more than one meter tall and had a diameter of about two meters. It had huge black clamped teeth and a very cold-blooded compound eye.

"Oh my god..." George was a little stiff. After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he nervously whispered, "What kind of spider is that? How can it be so huge!"

"Acromantula," Coven replied in a low voice, "To be honest, I like animals, but I hate insects, and I hate spiders the most."

[*TL Note: An Acromantula was a giant magical species of spider native to the rainforests of Southeast Asia, particularly Borneo, where it inhabited dense jungles. Acromantulas was believed to be a wizard-bred species, designed to guard dwellings or treasure hoards. Acromantulas sported eight black eyes (white if blind) and were typically covered in thick black hair, with a leg span that could reach up to fifteen feet. On average, they were the size of a carthorse, though old specimens such as Aragog could grow up to 15 feet in leg span.]

"What should we do?" Fred also nervously asked in a low voice, "Do you understand this thing, Coven? Is it dangerous?"

Coven quickly glanced at the twins. Seeing their nervous expressions, he softly comforted them, "Don't worry, I can deal with it."

George's body was still stiff, but his mouth kept saying, "That's good! That's good!"

At this moment, the Acromantula Giant Spider suddenly started the hunt. Its eight-long legs swayed quickly, and its huge body rushed towards Coven and the other two.

"Coven! Quick!" When George saw this, he couldn't help but cry out in alarm.

"Your legs are frozen! Stop!"

Coven wasn't the least bit nervous as he calmly chanted the' Leg-Locking Curse 'incantation.

The reason why he didn't use a silent spell was to teach the twins what magic spell to use to deal with the spider.

As Coven chanted the spell, a magic ray shot out from the tip of the wand and hit the giant body of the giant spider in the blink of an eye.

With a creak, the giant spider that was hit by the spell suddenly curled up uncontrollably, its eight huge spider legs sticking to its abdomen.

Losing its balance, the giant spider formed a ball and fell to the ground with a bang. It began to shake violently and struggle.

"It. it's that simple?" Fred also knew Leg-Locking Curse. He didn't expect that this Leg-Locking Curse, who they usually regarded as a 'prank', would be able to subdue the giant spider so easily.

Hearing this, George also exclaimed in surprise, "So 'Leg-Locking Curse' can be used like this!"

"When facing one spider, 'Leg-Locking Curse' is still useful." Coven reminded the twins, "But when you face more in the future, you should run first."

The twins nodded at the same time, remembering Coven's reminder in their hearts.

Looking at the giant spider that was rolling and struggling, Fred asked, "What should we do now?"

"Do you want some pocket money?" Coven asked.

"Pocket money?" George was puzzled. "What pocket money?"

Coven used his wand to point at the big spider. "The venom of this thing is quite valuable. If you want to have some pocket money, you can sell some venom."

The twins looked at each other with hope in their eyes.

Coven understood the eyes of the twins and could not help but smile. He lowered his wand slightly and then quickly waved his wand upwards.

With a whoosh, only a sound could be heard, and an invisible magic blade quickly slashed out in front of Coven.

In the next moment, the big spider let out a 'squeak', and its huge body suddenly split into two.

After the two halves of its body shook a few times on the ground, it gradually quieted down and stopped breathing.

The 'Sectumsempra' curse that Coven released this time was cast with the 'Silent Magic Casting' skill.

After all, this spell is too dangerous, it is better not to let the twins who have just entered the second grade learn it

[*TL Note: Sectumsempra was a curse invented by Professor Severus Snape that lacerates the target and causes severe hemorrhaging. Snape created it as a student of Hogwarts, with the intention of using it against his enemies, and it became one of his specialties; This curse is like being slashed by an invisible sword.]
