Chapter 243 241 Basilisk Food
However, this was the only thing that was destroyed.
The Acromanthus he killed before must not be the only one that discovered him. There must be others who went back to inform their kind, so there would be a large number of Acromanthus spiders surrounding him.
Apart from the threat caused by sneak attacks, the Acromanthus spider is just like a wolf pack, with teamwork and large-scale encirclement and suppression.
Manpower has its limits after all. When Finny faces these groups of Acromanthus spiders alone, he may be able to deal with them easily at the beginning, but as time goes by, the magic power gradually consumes, and it will become more and more difficult for Finny to deal with them. In the end, even if he kills a large number of Acromanthus spiders, he will still be killed by a large number of Acromanthus spiders because his magic power is exhausted.
In addition, Acromanthus spiders are not creatures that should appear in the Forbidden Forest. They were released here by Hagrid. Because there are no natural enemies, they can develop their own groups at will. The actual number is far greater than the number of Acromanthus spiders in the habitat of Acromanthus spiders in nature.
In fact, Dumbledore knew when Hagrid released the Acromanthus into the Forbidden Forest, but he didn't expect that Hagrid would pair up his pets and release another Acromanthus, which turned what was originally just a pet into a group in the Forbidden Forest.
Looking at the Acromanthus crawling out of the woods and listening to the rustling sound getting closer and closer, Finny knew that if he didn't take action now, it would be too late. He had to do something at this time.
Waving the wand in his right hand, his left hand used the same spell in another direction.
"Burning flames!"
A large ball of flame suddenly appeared from the wand and gloves, flying towards the woods, dispelling the surrounding darkness and dampness, and illuminating the originally dark environment like daylight.
Under the control of the elements by the magic of the transformation, Finny manipulated the flames he summoned to form a wall of fire, surrounding him,
leaving only a small gap in front of him, through which only an eight-eyed giant spider could pass.
This gap was like a portal. If the eight-eyed giant spider wanted to capture Finny, it could only pass through here, but there was only one at a time, and an eight-eyed giant spider in front of Finny could be completely ignored, which led to this wall of fire. This gap was like the portal to hell, of course, for the eight-eyed giant spider.
With the protection of the fire wall, Finny had enough time to prepare and could Apparate away from here at will.
Such an advantage allowed him to safely hunt the eight-eyed giant spider Finibask here and prepare enough food.
He was never a reckless person, and naturally knew that even with the help of the fire wall, he was still at a disadvantage at this time, and his magic power would still be exhausted over time.
But it didn't matter. When he felt that his magic power was about to be exhausted, he just controlled the fire wall to completely surround himself, and then Apparate away from here. Even if his magic power could not guarantee to leave here, he could summon Puff to take him away.
It was a pity that Finny still underestimated the obsession of creatures in nature to survive-after all, the ultimate goal of hunting was to survive.
The eight-eyed giant spiders stopped in front of the fire wall and did not move forward, but waited in place.
A large number of eight-eyed giant spiders slowly arrived, stopped in front of the fire wall, and surrounded the entire fire wall. Even if there was a gap, they did not try to attack Finny through it.
Seeing this, Finny had to sigh that this creature was indeed a five-star dangerous creature. They had a high IQ. If they understood human language, they could talk to wizards.
In the original book, Hagrid's eight-eyed giant spider could talk to Harry and Ron, which also proved this point.
At this time, the eight-eyed giant spiders also knew that there was only a small passage, and going in would be suicide, so they just surrounded it but did not attack it, and quietly waited for their large army to arrive.
As the number of eight-eyed giant spiders increased, Finny's expression became more and more solemn.
As far as Finny knows, in nature, many insects will have some emergency preparations when encountering flames. For example, ants will gather together to form a sphere, and then slowly roll over the flames. Although this will burn many ants, the most important thing is that most of the ants survived the fire.
At this time, Finny is most afraid that the eight-eyed giant spiders will also have similar preparations. If they survive the fire wall, then Finny needs to consider not how to hunt the eight-eyed giant spiders, but how to leave here safely.
Fortunately, creatures like eight-eyed giant spiders do not have the same thoughts of sacrificing their lives as ants, and for the sake of justice, they are not humans with firm wills.
The eight-eyed giant spider is a very selfish but short-lived creature. They are not humans, and naturally do not have the ability of humans to overcome their instincts at certain times. When facing flames, they have only one choice, that is, to retreat.
Unfortunately, the food that makes them so eager is in the fire wall, which makes the eight-eyed giant spiders, which were originally stable and had a 90% chance of winning, become completely hopeless and chaotic.
Finally, a six-foot-tall, somewhat skinny, eight-eyed giant spider crawled in through the gap in the fire wall.
The moment he came in, the magic wand in Finny's hand emitted a red light, which cut the body of the eight-eyed giant spider in half.
Because he was not sure how resistant the Acromantula was to other spells, Feeney chose this one, which could be said to be black magic if it didn't have a counter-curse.
After the Acromantula died, Feeney noticed that the down on the Acromantula's legs had been burned away, and its perception was not as sensitive as usual.
This also proves that at this time, there were some fights between the Acromantulas outside the fire wall, and the fight reached the point where they began to use the flames on the fire wall as weapons.
Fenike didn't think the fluff was burned because it passed through the gap.
You know, the gap he has reserved may not be able to pass through two Acromantulas, but if only one can pass through, it will be enough.
After getting to know an Acromantula, and before the new Acromantula had completely passed through the wall of fire, Feeney had time to use the glove of his left hand to control the body of the dead Acromantula to float to the box and put it inside.
The strength of Acromantulas, including their quality, is actually much lower than other five-star dangerous creatures. The main reason why they are designated as five-star creatures is because spiders are insects and have very powerful reproductive capabilities.
Compared with fire dragons, basilisks, three-headed dogs and other creatures that are very powerful in their own right, the Acromantula's power lies in their cooperation with each other, as well as the sneak attack behavior that hunters are very accustomed to in the forest.
The deaths of several Acromantulas in succession made the Acromantulas outside the Fire Wall agitated. They had never eaten human flesh, because under the orders of Hagrid's pet, Aragog, they were not allowed to prey on Hagrid. , and except for Hagrid, there are very few human activities in the Forbidden Forest, so most of their food is centaurs or other creatures.
However, the human scent exuding from Feeney's body at this time was all tempting them, telling them, come on, there is delicious freshly baked human flesh here.
However, they were still afraid of fire. As the number of dead Acromats increased, they finally stopped and prepared to retreat.
In fact, even if they don't retreat, Finny will be ready to leave here. His temporary box is already filled with Acromantula meat.
After all, this creature is huge, as big as a tank, and very fast in the woods of the Forbidden Forest.
The retreating Acromantulas did not leave directly, but stopped outside the fire wall, or in other words, they changed their strategy.
Start letting many smaller Acromantulas pass through the gap. Because of their small size, they can pass two or three Acromantulas at a time.
This is undoubtedly terrible news for Feeney.
The increase in the number of Acromantulas entering the fire wall means that the magic power he needs to use also increases, and the time required to kill the Acromantula also increases.
However, this time the Acromantulas entered the gap without any hesitation. This resulted in that if Finny did not deal with the Acromantulas that fell in immediately, he would face an increasing number of them until he was overwhelmed by a large number of them. The Acromantula was surrounded by a wall of fire,
"It's really bad."
Feeney sighed with emotion, waved his left hand, controlled the fire wall to merge together, and removed the original gap.
This resulted in what should have been a large number of Acromantulas, but only a few in the ring of fire.
However, Fini's Divine Blade Wuying was extremely skilled. Facing these three or four Acromantulas, he waved his wand and solved them in a few breaths.
Shaking his head slightly, Feeney knew that he could no longer stay here to hunt the Acromantula. The time had passed and he had no choice but to leave.
As the body of the Acromantula was disposed of, Feeney turned around and disappeared into the flames.
Appearing again, it was the tunnel in Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, which was the doorway to the back door.
Feeney walked into the tunnel again.
When Feeney came out of the tunnel, Basque discovered him. After all, Basque was lying on the ground, and the vibration caused by Feeney walking on the ground was obvious to snakes. In addition, Basque asked about the smell of Fini before, telling it that food is coming.
Of course, Feeney used snake accent to communicate with Basque as he walked. After all, this is a basilisk that can make anyone lose his life. Feeney still needs to control it at all times, such as not letting it open its eyes, not letting it It flicked its tail at will, and these actions were very dangerous for Feeney.
Fortunately, Snake's instructions to Basque are mandatory, and Basque is willing to obey Feeney who prepares food for him.
Yes, Basque smelled his favorite food on Feeney,
Feeney opened the box and threw out the Acromantula body inside.
Basque also opened his mouth very cooperatively and asked Feeney to throw the body in instead of actively swallowing it, because that would probably hurt Feeney.
Looking at the devouring Basque, Feeney had a smile on his face.
However, this smile did not last long, because as Basque's swallowing speed increased, all the Acromantula corpses he prepared had been eaten. However, Basque was not full yet.
This unfortunate kid looks like he's been hungry for a long time.
Think about it, after all, the last time the secret room was opened was when Riddle came fifty years ago. At that time, Riddle, who wanted to come here for power and was very concerned about blood, had no intention of preparing food for Basque, let alone, in his An operational error resulted in the death of a student, and the secret room was quickly sealed.
So Basque was very hungry at this time, and the food prepared by Feeney was far from enough, which was very uncomfortable.
Killing so many Acromantulas this time does not seem to be dangerous, although the process is tiring and there are many things to do.
But in fact, there are too many coincidences this time. If Feeney hadn't prepared the battlefield in advance, maybe he would have died at this time.
It was impossible for him to go to the Acromantula's habitat again. Not to mention the danger of the Acromantula, even this furry, eight-legged creature made Finny feel very unbearable.
Therefore, if you want Basque to be full, there is only one option, take Basque away from here,
But this brings us back to the previous problem again. Basque can leave here through the pipeline, but he will definitely be discovered by Dumbledore.
Let’s not say whether the discovered basilisk can survive. The secret of Phinni Snake’s old accent cannot be kept. You must know that he has no intention of exposing this talent. He can also trick others at critical moments. How could he take the initiative? Exposed.
Unfortunately, there is no other way except the pipeline, unless it is the tunnel behind the statue.
Thinking of this, Feeney sighed and said to Basque,
"Basque, you go to sleep first, and then I will take you out and let you eat enough."
Basque nodded, spit out the message, and crawled back into the statue.
Afterwards, Feeney summoned Puff and gave it instructions about expanding the tunnel before leaving Slytherin's secret room.
Tonight's operation went smoothly, although there were some twists and turns along the way.
After coming out, Finny found the twins, and then he realized that not long after Harry and the others entered the fourth floor, Dumbledore returned to Hogwarts, and then waited in the corridor on the fourth floor. Before he could follow Finny's instructions, Said entering the room in the corridor on the fourth floor,
Feeney turned his eyes. Now that the inheritance has been obtained, there is still a lot of time tonight. Why not go see the guy without a nose?
Thinking of this, Feeney hurriedly shook his head to get this idea out of his head.
He is a Slytherin, not a Gryffindor. He cannot do such stupid and reckless actions.
