Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth.

Chapter 89 Giant Spider

Looking at the hundreds of giant spiders around.

Gandalf's face changed and he immediately drew his sword to meet the enemy.

The giant spiders are huge in size. The largest one is almost as big as a small house, and the smallest one is more than two meters tall. Its leg span is several meters long, and it exudes a strong aura of black magic.

There are many eyes on its head, densely packed into two large clusters, releasing dizzying and hallucinogenic magic.

Part of the reason why Mirkwood has become what it is today is because of these giant spiders.

As descendants of the evil god Ungoliant, these giant spiders are not only huge in size, have hard skin, and possess extremely toxic stingers, but their exhaled breath is also toxic.

The dizzying and hallucinogenic air that permeates the dense forest is contaminated by giant spiders, and a large number of trees have been poisoned and withered.

Many creatures in the forest were destroyed and forced to migrate.

Just like the elves living in the Woodland Kingdom of Mirkwood, originally the entire Mirkwood was their range of activities, but since the invasion of the giant spiders, they have been forced to narrow their range of activities and confine themselves to the area north of the old forest road.

But now, the giant spider has crossed the old path in the dense forest and is continuing to approach the area where the elves live.

Due and Gandalf now have the Bubble Head Charm to isolate themselves from the poisonous air outside, so the giant spider's most lethal weapon has no effect on them.

But seeing so many giant spiders surrounding me, I still felt a little troubled.

More importantly, Gandalf was very worried about the safety of Bilbo and the others.

Although giant spiders cannot speak, they are as intelligent as wargs, very cunning and cruel, and know how to cooperate with each other.

Perhaps realizing that the two were difficult to deal with, the giant spiders did not rush forward. Instead, they sprayed spider silk as thick as ropes at the two from a distance, as if they wanted to use the spider silk to weave a net to trap the two and catch them in the trap.

"Armor protects!" Dui immediately cast a magic barrier for himself and Gandalf.

The spider silk was blocked outside the barrier, forming a huge spider web that covered the barrier.

The giant spiders felt it was not enough and continued to spin silk, weaving huge spider webs to trap them to death.

Gandalf raised his smiting sword and slashed at the spider silk with all his strength, but it almost bounced back.

The spider silk was hard and elastic. The sharp elven sword cut through the spider silk like it was cutting through a super elastic rope. It took several hard cuts to successfully cut through a spider silk thread.

Dui waved his wand: "Shatter into pieces!"

Under Dui's surprised gaze, the spider web actually offset part of the power of the spell, and only broke a few spider silks.

Seeing this, Dui was no longer in a hurry to break the spider silk. He wanted to see the limit of the spider silk's endurance.

Choose a more powerful spell.

"Shattered to pieces!"

A hole was successfully opened in the spider web.

Seeing this result, Dui's eyes lit up.

This spider silk is really a good thing. If it can be used to weave protective clothing, it can be invulnerable to swords and guns and also have a certain degree of magic resistance.

Maybe if you have the chance, you can catch a few giant spiders and raise them specifically for spinning silk.

But now is not the time to think about these things.

Dewi no longer held back,

"Thunderbolt explosion!"

With a dazzling flash of magic, a massive explosion razed the giant spiders and trees within a radius of several hundred meters, leaving only Duy and Gandalf, protected by magic at the very center, unharmed. Looking at the devastated clearing around them, Gandalf couldn't help but exclaim, "Duy, your magic is getting more and more powerful. I am now full of confidence for our journey to Lonely Mountain."

Dewi shook his head. Ever since he witnessed the horrific scene of Gandalf and others fighting with Sauron in Dol Guldur, his originally somewhat disoriented heart had completely calmed down.

Just listen to Gandalf's praise and don't take it seriously. If you take it seriously, you will lose.

She is Maia, a demigod. If her power was not restricted, let alone this little power, even destroying the entire Mirkwood would be just a matter of moving her fingers.

In the First Age, the Valar launched a War of Wrath to rescue the elves killed by Morgoth, which almost sank the entire Middle-earth.

The war was vast and brutal. The earth cracked, hills collapsed, and plains rose. Middle-earth suffered severe damage, and the northern continent of Beleriand sank into the sea.

Even the Misty Mountains that Dewi and his companions had previously crossed with great difficulty were built by Morgoth to prevent the Valar from advancing eastward.

So in order to prevent the earth from being destroyed again, the Valar made rules that restricted the power of all Maia who entered Middle-earth.

This includes not only wizards like Gandalf, but even Sauron's strength is restricted to a certain extent. He cannot exert his due power in Middle-earth and can only rely more on violence and army to conquer the world.

Even Dewi suspected that the reason Sauron made the One Ring was not only to use it to control the owners of the other rings, but also to break the restrictions set by the Valar and gain greater power.

By the way, after using the Thunderbolt Explosion Spell to blast the giant spider away, Dui and Gandalf did not stop, but continued to use the Guidance Spell to guide Bilbo and others.

What relieved Gandalf was that Bilbo and the others were not captured by the giant spider, or they managed to escape.

The two encountered some giant spider corpses ahead.

Gandalf pulled an arrow from the corpse of a giant spider and examined it.

"These are elven arrows. Bilbo and his companions must have encountered elves from the nearby woodland kingdom."

Gandalf did not look relaxed.

The elves in the Woodland Kingdom are different from elves in other places. They are vigilant and xenophobic, and their tempers are not very good.

More importantly, there are deep conflicts with the dwarves.

It would definitely not be good news if the dwarves fell into the hands of the elves of the Woodland Kingdom.

Just then, there was a noise.

The next second, several figures flashed by quickly, jumping as nimbly as deer among the woods, and appeared on the high ground and trees.

Several elves, dressed in robes in natural colors such as green, brown, and gray, drew their bows and arrows and aimed them at Dui and Gandalf, with stern faces, as if they were ready to shoot at any disagreement.

"Who are you? Why are you visiting here?"

A tall and straight young elf with golden braided hair draped over his shoulders and a handsome face walked out and looked at the two of them with wariness and suspicion.

He held a bow and arrow, had a quiver on his back, and wore a light brown cloak with an emerald green leaf brooch pinned to the collar.

Seeing the green leaf brooch on his collar, Dui immediately guessed his identity.

Facing the elves' bows and arrows, as well as the young elf's questioning, Gandalf took the initiative to show kindness, smiled and held his forehead in greeting:

"Greetings, my elven friends from the Woodland Kingdom!"

"I am Gandalf, Gandalf the Grey."

As Gandalf introduced himself, Due nodded towards the young elf.

"I am Doyle, the black-robed wizard Doyle."
