Chapter 130 Spider's Nest
Xie Lin was already very familiar with the terrain of the Forbidden Forest after many explorations last semester.
He knew that there would be a big battle next, and motioned for Dobby and Winky to leave first.
He put on the Night Star Cloak, which was improved by his alchemy and had the "Guardian" rune engraved on it. At this moment, faint light blue ripples were exuding into the surrounding air.
He put on his dueling gloves. The gloves were re-woven with two kinds of wool, one black and one white, from the tail hairs of unicorns and hyenas. When he held the wand, it made a pleasant clear sound. The lines on the grape vine wood reveal a faint crystal luster. Schelling, who was well-read, knew that this was because the "power of death" in the wand had been neutralized by the "power of holiness" in the glove, and the core of the wand had undergone a transformation.
The power of death is not the end.
So what is behind death?
Schelling looked forward to his wand.
He put on the crown of Ravenclaw, and a familiar spiritual power appeared in his mind. Xie Lin's eyes changed back and forth among the four colors of orange, green, azure, and milky white. The wind and grass within a hundred meters could not be seen. There was no hiding from his perception.
He also wore Slytherin's locket, although he had not yet cracked the secret of the locket. He suspects that only the Snake Whisperer can unlock the secret of the locket.
He touched Aragog's lair alone.
He did not deliberately hide himself, so he was soon discovered by the eight-eyed spider tribe. Countless and densely packed giant spiders appeared from all directions, covering Xie Lin layer by layer. surrounded by land.
"Aragog! Aragog!" Several little spiders kept shouting. Although they speak English, it is difficult to understand because they click and move their large claws every time they say a word.
From a hidden hole in the ground, Aragog emerged very slowly. His body was as big as a small elephant, his body and legs were black with gray, and each eye on his ugly head with big pincers was covered with a layer of white. It is blind.
"What's going on?" it said, clicking, clicking, and moving its two big claws rapidly.
"Human," 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 it Hagrid?"
Xie Lin replied calmly: "I'm not Hagrid, I'm his friend. He asked me to come here to find you."
Aragog hesitated for a while and then said slowly: "Hagrid never sends anyone to find me. You should tell me first. Why did he ask you to come here?"
"Hagrid asked me to come here because he wanted to get into the depths of the Spider Cave to get something."
Aragog seemed to be irritated, and his big claws opened and closed continuously making clicking and clicking sounds, "How dare you lie to me! Children, kill him!"
The eight-eyed spiders that had been watching eagerly for a long time all made excited clicking sounds. Countless long legs were moving rustlingly. The spiders were slowly approaching Xie Lin, as prepared as patient predators. Swarmed up.
Schelling was well prepared for this outcome.
The moment he was surrounded, he observed the position of every spider here with "God's Peeping Amaterasu". In an instant, he continuously shot four sonic boom curses around him. At the same time, there was an astonishing loud noise, which shocked all the spiders within the observation range. The spiders' unique piercing screams came one after another.
Schelling took a deep breath and held the wand tightly in his palm. He planned to cast a magic that he had never used in actual combat.
"Fierce fire burns the sky!"
A wisp of blue flame spurted out from the end of the wand, fell to the ground, and burned with a "peng" sound. The flame seemed to rise up spiritually, then fell back down, expanding and spreading amidst the crackling sound, and finally It rolled up high into the sky like a tornado, with an astonishing momentum.
After the flame tornado dispersed, it turned into various ferocious beasts - fire snakes, chimeras and fire dragons, making terrible rumbling sounds. They attacked in all directions with Xie Lin as the center, burning the eight-eyed spiders. They were scattered and fled in all directions.
The fierce fire with cursed power, also known as the devil's flame, cannot be extinguished by physics. Spiders infected with the fierce fire will only die no matter where they escape, and a huge number of spiders are rushing left and right. Suddenly, the fierce fire on his body spread out even faster. One pass to ten, ten to one hundred, and soon, the visible range was filled with burning and screaming spiders. The whole scene was like a purgatory on earth.
After this battle, the Eight-Eyed Spider in the Forbidden Forest may be gone, and they will give up their throne as the Overlord of the Forbidden Forest.
The moment Li Huo was released, Aragog seemed to smell danger and hurriedly retreated back to the crypt. Despite its age and huge size, it actually moves without any sloppiness and is very nimble and agile!
Schelling quickly rushed in Aragog's direction.
The biggest problem with Li Huo is that he cannot distinguish between friend and foe, and everything will be burned. If Xie Lin continues to stay here, even he will be in danger.
As he sprinted, he used his wand to spray the "Wind Whirlwind Curse" backwards. The whirlwind accelerated his forward speed like a propeller. At the same time, the wind assisted the fire and made the devil's flame behind him burn more fiercely.
Although Aragog was blind, he had a keener hearing because he relied on hearing for many years. He determined the position of Sherin based on the sound of the wind caused by Sherin's movement, and at this moment, he stretched out his big claws like lightning to grab Sherin!
Sherin's left hand gently dropped down, and a pure silver dagger slipped into his hand from the hidden pocket of his sleeve. After injecting magic power, the "Indestructible Spell" on it was activated, and the palm holding the dagger tightly could faintly feel the sharp meaning from it. Sherin narrowed his eyes slightly, without any pause, and swung the dagger in his hand in a Z shape. The dagger seemed to pierce into tofu, and with a light stroke, it cut off the pair of large claws that attacked cleanly!
Aragog screamed in pain, and a large amount of dark green liquid spurted out of his mouth.
Sherin's movements were like flowing clouds and water. Before Aragog sprayed venom, he flew and pounced, and rolled on the ground agilely, and rolled under Aragog's body.
As he stood up, he raised the dagger upwards and stabbed it into Aragog's chest with a "puff". He did not stop at all and rushed towards Aragog's tail with the dagger. The dagger passed through Aragog's chest and lower abdomen and tail unimpeded. A long "hiss" sound came to his ears, like the sound of cloth being torn by sharp scissors.
After passing through Aragog's huge body, Xielin continued to rush forward without looking back, ignoring the loud noise of a huge object falling to the ground behind him.
The end of the crypt is a vast underground space.
There are no other creatures in the crypt.
This is why Xielin deliberately exposed his position at the beginning. Instead of sneaking into an unknown crypt and being attacked by the eight-eyed spiders in the dark, it is better to choose the battlefield at the beginning and lure all the eight-eyed spiders out outside to solve it.
Xielin's magic eye swept in all directions, and a faint magic wave permeated the air.
He explored the cave following the strength of the magic fluctuations and found an underground spring. At the source of the spring, there was a magic circle shining with a strong emerald green luster. Above the center of the formation, there was a group of liquid energy emitting seven-color light floating in the air.
The group of seven-color energy was like a cloud, constantly changing its shape in the air, and strands of magical power as thin as hair overflowed from it, penetrating through the barrier of the magic circle into the spring water.
Sherin guessed that this might be the answer to the mystery of the eight-eyed spider's reproduction.
Aragog drank this spring water with strong vitality for a long time, so he was so long-lived, and the entire eight-eyed spider tribe often drank this spring water, so they had such an amazing reproduction rate.
The magic circle was very complicated, with layers of ancient runes, like layers of barriers that trapped the seven-color power in the center of the circle. An ancient rune was engraved on the center of the magic circle, which was the "Isa" seen on the door of the freezer!
The center of the magic circle is like a door, and this "freezing" magic symbol is a lock. As long as this magic symbol is cracked, the entire magic circle can be opened.
At this moment, Xie Ling finally confirmed that he had found the real Hufflepuff treasure.
Xie Ling put away his wand and dagger, closed his eyes, and visualized every stroke and every stroke of the "freezing" magic symbol. He simulated the use of the ancient rune spell to release this rune countless times in his mind.
With Xie Ling's mental power, plus the increase of the crown of wisdom, it only takes a few minutes to say.
Learning the ancient rune spell for the first time must be extremely difficult, because it is like a baby learning to speak for the first time, a process from zero to one.
Think about it, from the first time Xie Ling came into contact with the ancient rune spell (starting from watching the fairy holy fire Kaunaz last semester) to the final complete mastery of his first ancient rune spell "Guardian" (Eihwaz) in his life, so that it can be visualized and show its full power, how long did it take in total.
Although "freeze" and "guard" are very different in terms of the outline of the graphics and the meaning contained, experience can be used as a reference.
Xie Lin raised his right hand and drew the "freeze" rune symbol with his index finger in the air. The magic symbol took shape in the air, exuding an amazing chill, and turned into a white light and shot into the magic circle.
Success!
Perhaps Xie Lin cannot yet visualize the "freeze" magic symbol, but being able to shoot the magic symbol like a spell and feel the chill contained in it has already shown that Xie Lin has initially mastered this magic symbol.
In addition to "guard", "freeze" can be regarded as the second magic symbol that Xie Lin has mastered, which is already a very remarkable achievement. Thinking of those predecessors who could easily treat the ancient rune spells as toys in his previous life, Xie Lin was envious and jealous again.
The magic circle was successfully cracked, and the green luster slowly dimmed.
Xie Lin raised his right hand and gently moved it in mid-air. The seven-colored energy floating in the air flew into Xie Lin's hand.
As soon as his hand touched the energy, he felt a magical and extremely cool force pouring from the top of his head to the soles of his feet. His body underwent obvious changes. His body functions from skin to muscles to bones were strengthened. Even his vision, hearing and other five senses were more acute than before. The magic power that was used up by the fierce fire spell was not only instantly restored, but also began to grow wildly after the magic power was fully restored, and it did not stop until it increased by about 30% compared with the past.
Xellin knew that this energy was the "source of life" described on the Elf Slate, and it was the highest power in magic, just like Ravenclaw's "crystal of wisdom".
After absorbing the source of life that Hufflepuff had cultivated throughout his life, Xielin's body seemed like a perfect alchemical item, and various complicated magic marks appeared on his skin. The marks were not black, but exuded a rainbow-like seven-color luster.
Xielin could feel that his body was filled with strong vitality, which was constantly transforming Xielin's body. Not only did he have a stronger self-healing ability, but he also had the potential to accommodate more magic power. Xielin's body seemed to be an enlarged container. Because the space inside the container became larger, Xielin's magic power also increased.
Xielin carefully felt the changes in his body and the secret of the stunt that came with it. This secret left by Hufflepuff could stimulate the huge vitality in his body. As long as he didn't die, any serious physical injuries could be healed instantly.
[Hufflepuff's exclusive secret - Creation and Regeneration Learning! 】
Ancient Runic Spells have always been a common cliché in fan fictions, but are there any readers who, like the author, think that it is a joke that the protagonists can learn Ancient Runic Spells by just picking up a random secret book (usually from Ravenclaw) and following it? In the few fan fictions that the author has read (I won’t mention which ones), this more powerful and faster spellcasting method actually does not require blood talent or external factors (such as alchemical items and adventures). It can be mastered by just practicing according to the book and studying hard. Isn’t this a slap in the face of Dumbledore, Grindelwald, and Voldemort? In the past thousand years, are the protagonists and Ravenclaw the only ones who have mastered Ancient Runic Spells? This can be easily ticked in the Mary Sue/Dragon Aotian test abroad.
