Chapter 883 Growth
Sirius reached out and grabbed Harry's arm and told a few people about his next plan, "We will apparate for a distance first, then slowly approach the Acromantula's activity area, and then find it through the "Dark Creature Detector" Find the lone Acromantula and capture it."
“Okay, let’s go!” Sirius nodded towards Lupine and left with Harry directly.
“Hermione, take my hand, and you, Ron,” said Lupine gently.
"that…"
“I caught him.”
Hermione walked over and grabbed Lupine's arm. Seeing that Ron didn't want to go, she reached out and grabbed his arm.
If Ron is not allowed to experience the difficulty of being a warrior, he will probably continue to be jealous of Harry, which is not conducive to the friendship between the three of them.
Harry and Ron hadn't spoken to each other for weeks. Their friendship couldn't stand up to this, and it was hard for Hermione to mediate between them.
“Okay, let’s set off.”
Before Ron could react, the surrounding darkness came from all directions with a strong squeezing feeling, suppressing what Ron was about to say.
When they came to their senses, they found themselves standing on a patch of air. Harry was retching next to him. Sirius raised his wand to alert the surroundings, holding the "Dark Creature Detector" he showed them earlier in his hand to be on guard. The sneak attack of the giant eye spider.
“Acromantulas move very fast in the forest.” Sirius explained to the three of them. “Be careful, don’t be attacked by them. Those beasts eat people.”
Ron, who was holding on to a tree while retching, couldn't help but shiver.
“You need to get used to this feeling slowly.” Lu Ping comforted, “However, it will be good for you to experience Apparition in advance. When you practice, you will be able to master Apparition faster than others.”
“Remus, can you teach us?”
Although Harry didn't like the feeling of Apparition, he knew that it was necessary to learn Apparition. If he could master it in advance, it would be much easier to go to other places in the future, and he would definitely not have to worry about the Apparition exam.
"Not now, there is not enough time, and Apparition requires adult wizards to learn, so there is a reason for it." Lupine shook his head and refused. For Harry now, how to pass the first project is more important.
"I remember Fred and George said that Albert mastered apparation very early." Ron interjected. He actually wanted to learn it too, if Professor Lupine was willing to teach him.
“Albert is just an isolated case.” Lupine shook his head and said.
"Okay, stop chatting. We're going to set off after a good rest." Seeing that everyone had calmed down, Sirius handed another "Dark Creature Detector" to Ron, "Help us keep an eye on it." The dark creature detector will tell us immediately if there are red dots around, or if there are red dots approaching quickly."
"Oh, okay." Ron took the dark creature detector and couldn't help but swallowed.
"The dense forest is the home of the Acromantula. They move very fast here. Don't hesitate to use the stun spell directly on it when you encounter it." Lupine gave instructions and asked the three of them to follow Sirius. He was in charge Adjourned.
The five people started to move towards the red dot closest to here.
After walking in the bushes for a while, Sirius suddenly stopped and looked around with the help of the light on his wand.
“What’s wrong?” Hermione asked quietly.
Sirius made a shushing gesture, and there was a loud clicking sound all around.
"It's nearby." Ron held the wand tightly in his hand and stared at the dark creature detector in his hand. The red dot coincided with their position.
Harry reached out to hold his pounding heart, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice, "It's a big guy."
"Don't worry, we are already prepared. When I count to three, you can close your eyes." Sirius calmly took out a spherical toy from his robe pocket and began to count down.
Harry and the others were a little confused and didn't know what was going on. They saw Sirius twisting the ball away and throwing it forward.
In an instant, white light suddenly appeared, and a dazzling ball of light floated above everyone's heads, illuminating the nearby forest.
"What?"
Harry's eyes were flashed, and when he closed his eyes in pain, Sirius and Lupine beside him had already begun to take action.
They were well prepared and immediately attacked the exposed Acromantula. Two spells hit the Acromantula whose eyes were flashed by white light before it had time to react, knocking the spider directly to the ground.
Before Harry, Ron and Hermione could react, Sirius and Lupine recited a spell together to bind the unlucky spider tightly.
That's it?
The three of them stared at this scene dumbfounded, not expecting that the matter ended so easily.
Sirius took out a box and used magic to throw the mummified Acromantula into the box. Then he did not forget to warn Harry: "Don't think that the Acromantula is weak. That's because it was given to us by us." A sneak attack. These monsters move very fast in the forest and are extremely dangerous, otherwise they would not be rated as magical creatures."
"There are three red dots approaching this way." Ron's voice was trembling, "They are moving very fast and are almost there."
"We'd better get out of here right away." Sirius used magic to lock the box, then reached out to grab Harry and apparated away.
This time, without Lupine urging, Ron firmly grabbed Lupine's hand and asked him to take him away from this place of right and wrong.
Soon after the five people left, three Acromantulas appeared at their previous location, but there was nothing there.
"We are lucky," Sirius said cheerfully. They were on an empty plain and no one would disturb them.
“Yes, the method given by Albert really worked. Originally, I thought it would take some effort to catch the Acromantula.” Lupine couldn’t help feeling that Sirius’ Galleons were well spent.
“Albert?” Hermione looked at Professor Lupin doubtfully.
"Yeah, he gave us the idea." Sirius put the box on the ground and motioned for the others to step back. He was about to release the Acromantula from the box.
The Acromantula that came into view was as big as a cart-horse, black and hairy, as if a spider had been magnified countless times.
“Is it dead?” Ron asked tremblingly.
“Probably not, probably fainted.”
Sirius did not take his eyes away from the Acromantula, "These monsters are not ordinary spiders. They are very cunning and can speak human language. They are terrible predators in the forest. We used to wander in the Forbidden Forest. Sometimes, I encountered these big spiders and it took a lot of effort to get rid of them."
Harry shook his head.
"What spell did you use to knock it down?" Hermione asked curiously.
"Spider Dispersing Curse, the spell that Albert told us, this spell can cause great harm to spiders, but sometimes what is needed to deal with them is not those powerful spells, but your brains." Lupine continued to guide Ha. Lee, "Don't think about confronting them head-on. That's unwise. You have to get something to attract them and then restrict their movements, because the Acromantula moves really fast and poses a great threat to you. You What do you think should be used to restrict the movement of the Acromantula?"
“A stun spell, a full body binding spell, a weak leg spell or a dance move spell?” Harry thought for a moment and said the spells he knew so far could restrict the movement of the Acromantula.
"There are many ways, aren't there?" Lupine continued: "But what if its magic is too strong and the spell doesn't work on it?"
"this…"
Harry was stunned, because he didn't know what to do in this situation.
"If you are good at transfiguration, you can create ropes to bind the eight legs of the Acromantula and restrict their movements, but it is difficult for you, so don't take risks without being prepared, otherwise it will be easy Throw away your own life." Sirius looked at Harry who was in a daze and said, "Okay, Harry, are you ready?"
what to prepare?
Harry was a little panicked, he had not prepared anything!
Ron next to him also looked confused. He was suddenly glad that it was not him who faced this Acromantula, but Harry. However, this is just an appetizer, Harry still needs to face the dragon in his first project.
“Don’t worry, we’re right next to you.” Lupine comforted. He and Blake both used Quick Revival on the Acromantula. The big spider that had fainted began to move. Seeing this, Ron shrank back in horror, wanting to hide behind Hermione.
"Don't be afraid Harry, if you don't dare to face it without someone protecting you, what are you going to do to deal with that fire dragon?" Sirius patted Harry on the shoulder and encouraged him. In fact, he didn't want to do this. He could do it, but there was nothing he could do about it. He hoped that Harry could muster up the courage to face the danger before him calmly.
The clicking sound rang in his ears, and Harry felt horrified, but he knew that Sirius was right. If he didn't have the courage to face the Acromantula in front of him when someone was protecting him, he would have to take it when the time came. What to face the fire dragon?
The big spider struggled to turn over, all eight eyes staring at Harry. He didn't know what was going on. The Acromantula's eyes seemed to have not completely returned to normal.
Harry took out his wand and chanted a spell at the Acromantula: Tarantella.
The dance spell hit the spider's huge, black and hairy body without any accident. The spider's legs spasmed involuntarily, but quickly returned to normal.
After being attacked, the Acromantula quickly rushed towards Harry.
"Stunning, fainting, fainting!" Harry looked at the big spider rushing towards him in horror, his head came to a brief stagnation, and he chanted the Stunning Curse frantically, trying to knock out the Acromantula.
However, it is not known whether the Acromantula is too resistant to magic or whether Harry's spell is too weak. The stun spell did not work on the Acromantula, and instead angered it even more.
The image of the Acromantula was reflected in Harry's eye masks. The ugly big spider was about to pounce on Harry, and an inexplicable panic emerged in Harry's heart.
“Suffer!”
Before the Acromantula hit him, Harry tried to avoid it with a face full of panic, but it was already too late.
Seeing this scene, Ron was so frightened that his face turned pale, and Hermione had already screamed, but Lupine and Sirius were both calm. When the Acromantula rushed in front of Harry, they had already He raised his wand.
The Acromantula bumped into Harry, as if it had hit an invisible protective barrier, unable to make any further progress.
The next moment, a large number of vines suddenly emerged from the ground, tightly restraining the Acromantula who was knocked unconscious and had no time to react.
"Harry, you need to stay calm at all times instead of hysterically throwing magic at the enemy. Losing your mind is a very dangerous thing." Sirius pulled Harry away from the struggling Acromantula.
“You don’t need to be afraid. The most dangerous thing about Acromantulas is that they can quietly attack their prey in dense forests. If it’s a head-on confrontation, these big spiders actually don’t pose much of a threat.”
“Not much of a threat?” Ron said weakly.
"Yes." Lupine explained for Black, "If it is a head-on confrontation, an Acromantula is not as dangerous as a giant monster, but in a dense forest, an Acromantula can easily kill those monsters. The defenseless wizard."
“Harry, eat something to regain your strength first, training will continue.” Sirius took out a few pieces of chocolate and handed them to Harry.
“Sirius, where did you buy the chocolate?” Harry ate one and felt that his strength had recovered a lot.
"I got it from Albert. It said it can quickly restore physical strength and energy, but the stingy guy only gave me ten yuan." Sirius complained in a low voice.
"I know this thing, Albert's magical candy." Hermione looked away from the Acromantula and said to Harry: "Last time, Albert gave me a small bottle of something similar, and the effect was pretty good. .”
Ron opened his mouth. He actually wanted to tell Harry and Hermione that these so-called magical candies were actually experiments made by those guys, and they were purely using you as experiments, but he finally held back. .
"Harry, continue." Sirius warned: "You must stay calm at all times during the battle. Don't let emotions affect your judgment."
"You should defeat it through other methods, Harry. The biggest difference between humans and animals is that we have smart brains." Lupine said with a smile, "You can try the dance move spell. I just saw that spell with eight eyes." The giant spider has worked, and your spell should be aimed at the Acromantula's legs, these beasts must have a weakness."
“Most animals’ weak points are belly Harry,” Hermione reminded. “You can try using the Eyebane Charm on the Acromantula’s eyes.”
"I will."
Harry took a deep breath and faced the Acromantula again.
This method is actually quite effective. What Harry lacks most now is combat experience. After facing the Acromantula again and again, Harry has gradually become accustomed to the ferocious appearance of the big spider. When he rushed over, his mind would not be blank and he would not know what to do. The way he fought with the Acromantula looked more and more like a warrior.
Harry grew up in battle.
The most unlucky one is probably the Acromantula. Its eyes were hit by the Eye Disease Curse and it has been completely blinded.
Facing Harry's challenges again and again, this jungle killer was on the verge of death. He was finally ruthlessly killed by Sirius using a spell, and the poison was taken away by Lupine, causing him to die miserably.
"Well done Harry, you are progressing very quickly. We will get another one next week. Then you can also try to fight these big spiders." Sirius said to Hermione and Ron, "This kind of fighting experience is very good." rare."
"Is it really possible?" Hermione's eyes lit up. She actually wanted to fight the Acromantula as long as she was safe.
"I'll forget it." Ron said dryly: "I hate spiders."
The three of them looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
"The amount of poisonous juice is less than expected. It is estimated to be worth fifty or sixty galleons." Lupine was in a good mood.
Ron's eyes shone when he heard this, but he soon became depressed, because those big spiders were obviously difficult to deal with, and he was really afraid of spiders. Even Galleons could not make Ron overcome his fear of spiders.
