Chapter 76: In Exchange for Life (Thanks to Erdou Dadios 1
Chapter 76 In exchange for life (thanks to Erdou Dadios for his 10,000-point reward)
Harry and his friends were rushing through the woods. ɱThe car followed a route that it was obviously familiar with, turning left and right cleverly, looking for the widest gap.
They left the Forbidden Forest, and there were no pursuers behind them.
Harry turned his head to look at Ron, only to see that his mouth was still open, as if he was making a silent scream, but his eyeballs were no longer bulging.
"Are you okay?"
Ron stared straight ahead, unable to say a word. After a long while, he opened the car door and crawled into the pumpkin field to vomit desperately.
"Follow the spider," Ron said weakly, wiping his mouth with his sleeve, "I will never forgive Hagrid! We are lucky to be alive!"
"When he comes back from Azkaban, I'll kill him!" Ron pulled out the broken wand viciously!
"I dare say he thought Aragog wouldn't hurt his friends." Harry said.
"That's the problem with Hagrid!" Ron said, banging on the wall of the hut. "He always thought that monsters weren't as bad as people made them out to be. Look at what happened to him! Imprisoned in a cell in Azkaban!" He began to tremble uncontrollably. "What's the point of sending us there? I want to know, what did we find out?"
"We found out that Hagrid never opened the Chamber of Secrets. He is innocent." Harry said.
Ron snorted loudly.
Obviously, in his opinion, Hagrid was no longer innocent the moment he hatched Aragog in the cupboard.
Harry went to Hagrid's room and took back the Invisibility Cloak and put it on himself and Ron. The two of them sat down next to each other, looking back at the depths of the Forbidden Forest, waiting for Cyrus.
"I think it's a good thing that Mr. Riddle wronged Hagrid fifty years ago!" Ron said, "Otherwise Aragog would have stayed in a room in the school. You saw it too! It doesn't eat people, but what about the other spiders? I bet they would eat all the students in the school immediately if Hagrid didn't pay attention!"
Harry wanted to defend Hagrid, but he couldn't say anything after escaping from the mouths of those spiders. He was almost killed, and Mr. Riddle's life and death were still unknown!
The two could only sit here and wait, praying that "Mr. Riddle" was safe.
But the waiting time was too long.
"That monster sounds very similar to Voldemort, and the spiders dare not say its name."
Ron shuddered: "Then don't mention it, okay?"
Harry sighed and raised his head. The sky was not as dark as before. The dark clouds seemed to have dispersed, and the moonlight shone in the empty pumpkin field, as if it was covered with white frost.
He fell exhausted in the pumpkin patch, and suddenly, he saw the sky deep in the Forbidden Forest light up.
The firelight under the night sky shone into the sky!
He stood up suddenly.
"Ron, look over there!"
--
"Ultimate Protection."
Cyrus watched the taillights of the car disappear into the darkness. Some spiders wanted to chase Harry, but he cast a magic barrier in the opposite direction, covering the depression. The spiders pounced on the invisible magic wall and were immediately burned to ashes by the magic.
So, they could only turn their heads and set their sights on Cyrus alone.
Large swathes of spiders filled the undulating open space. In front of Cyrus, there might be thousands or tens of thousands of eight-eyed giant spiders, the largest of which was larger than a car, and the smallest was like a hound.
They were like sharks that smelled blood, rushing towards Cyrus like crazy. The dense spiders crowded each other, fearing that if they fell behind a little, they would miss the taste of human flesh this time.
Hundreds of thousands of legs hit the ground, making a loud clicking sound, as if the entire Forbidden Forest was shaking with their footsteps.
Even Cyrus, who was not afraid of spiders, got goose bumps all over his body.
It was as if he had knocked open a wooden cabinet and saw hundreds of termite larvae squirming together.
Or there were tens of thousands of snakes entangled with each other in a cave.
The twisted bodies kept rising and falling in the gaps, which was disgusting--
But Cyrus did not kill them all immediately. He pointed the tip of the wand downward and stabbed it hard at the ground. In an instant, a powerful magic power was released with him as the center of the circle, and the shock wave shook away all the eight-eyed giant spiders that were about to approach and almost drown him!
Leaving an empty space.
He took out a crucible slowly, and the potion in the crucible was still boiling.
The spiders would not give up! They continued to fall one after another, like a swarm of locusts! There were so many of them, and Cyrus' body was so small that everyone was afraid that if they were a step late, they would have nothing to eat!
Those sharp spider legs stepped on the ground like nails, and the following spiders stepped on the spiders in front of them mercilessly. They piled up higher and higher, almost forming a high wall.
It became a surging black sea wave!
Cyrus watched them die coldly, and he lit the fire.
The flames burned, and suddenly exploded like a gushing spring, spreading to every corner.
The eight-eyed giant spiders were caught off guard by the sudden spread of the flames. The blazing fire waves collided with the black spider tide, and the raging fire mercilessly burned their limbs and flesh!
They let out horrible wails, but the flames were like poison that they couldn't get rid of, and they spread quickly!
The burning spiders were like monsters in the flames, struggling desperately. The spiders in front wanted to escape, but the spider swarm kept pushing them forward. The burning spider is like a devil in flames, rampaging through the spider group, and then passing the flames to more spiders.
It only took a moment for the flames to ignite the entire depression.
Isn't this a kind of passing on from generation to generation?
"Wait—human—"
Aragog wailed and begged, but Cyrus fell on deaf ears.
Not to mention the fact that Acromantula also wanted to kill them, it was enough for Cyrus to kill them ruthlessly.
What's more, the value of life is equal only in alchemy. In a person's eyes, the life of a spider is obviously not the same as a human life.
The flames continued to burn, taking away the bodies and souls of the spiders. Their bodies turned into ashes in an instant, and only the red liquid flowed towards the sky, converging into a bloody river above the crucible.
The entire depression seemed to have suddenly turned into a cemetery of death and a spring of life.
The spiders who were not yet dead were avoiding the flames in fear, but all their escape routes had been blocked by Cyrus with the "ultimate protection". He was the only one in the flames who was not contaminated at all. In the sea of hot fire, Cyrus's eyes were colder than winter.
In an instant, all the Acromantulas became sacrifices for him to refine the magic stone.
Life can only be measured by life, and in exchange for tens of thousands of lives, this time, the red liquid left in the crucible became thicker and thicker, looking like a large pot of plasma.
Thanks to Erdou Dadios for the 10,000 point reward, thank you baby, I will update the baby later! Additional updates for Mingyue Baby will be added after they are released. After some calculations, the two titles I owe Mingyue now add up to almost six chapters, and the rewards given by other treasures also count as one chapter. Plus the five chapters promised on the day of release, that means a total of 12 chapters will be updated. Si! It looks like I won’t have to sleep tonight on Friday.
