Hogwarts Crawler.

"Look! This track is very wide. It must have been left by some huge magical animal - maybe an Erumpent or something."

After hesitating for a moment, Adam reminded:

"Is it possible that our half-giant gamekeeper could also leave similar traces? Moreover, this trace leads directly to the outside of the Forbidden Forest, and this place is so close to the edge of the Forbidden Forest. How could such a huge magical animal run here and move around?"

"Eh?"

Cologne was stunned, and restored Hagrid's body shape in his mind, comparing it with the traces here...a perfect match.

"Uh, hehe, I'm just making a random guess."

Continuing to walk into the forbidden forest, perhaps because it was afternoon, they did not find many magical animals, only a group of deer. However, the deer spotted them from a distance, looked in their direction, and then ran away.

"Should I also erase the noise we made?"

Adam's fingertips turned over a quiet card, which showed a tall woman with a high collar covering her mouth and nose.

"Let's not do that. The noise we make is also protecting us in a way."

Uther stopped him:

"Some very powerful magical animals have intelligence that is no less than that of humans. After all, this is Hogwarts. If they find us, they may choose to leave on their own initiative."

"Ok."

Adam followed Uther's advice, but he didn't think the animals would actively avoid humans...

Having not found any surprises, Bernard could not help but say:

"Are we just going to keep moving forward without a goal?"

He wanted to explore the Forbidden Forest, but the current situation seemed a little different from what he had imagined.

The team stopped at this point and the five people walked together.

"Drink some water and take a rest."

Adam produced five cups and some boiled water in the cups.

"Bernard is right, we should at least have a goal."

Cologne was a little tired, so he took some water and sat down on the raised roots of a big tree. He looked around casually, hoping to find some clues that could point the way.

Suddenly, Cologne's pupils shrank sharply, and he pointed in a direction:

"what is that?!"

The slightly trembling and even broken exclamation made Adam and the others look in that direction immediately, but they found nothing.

"Look this way!"

Adam walked to Colon, squatted down and looked in the direction of Colon's finger, only to see the culprit that caused Colon to lose his composure - a spider web.

A spider web is tied between the trunks of two trees, spanning more than ten meters, and the space between the two parallel spider silk threads is even as wide as a palm.

"What is this web made of? A spider?"

Uther's expression was somewhat grim:

"Do you eat spiders so well in England?"

It would be fine if it was just a large spider web, but the spaces between the silk threads are as wide as a palm, which means that prey that is about the same size as a palm is not even on the spider's menu.

"I...I don't know..."

Cologne swallowed his saliva. It was obvious that their farm would not raise such a ferocious and magical animal.

At this moment, Bernard suddenly started walking towards the spider web.

"Hey! What do you want to do?"

Seeing Bernard's actions, Eugene quickly grabbed him.

"Aren't you curious?"

Seeing Bernard's somewhat excited expression, Eugene frowned:

"Aren't you afraid?"

"What are you afraid of? It's just a spider. It's just a little bigger at most."

Bernard looked at Eugene in confusion, took out his loaded gun and loaded it:

"If you tell me that bullets can't penetrate dragon skin, I'll believe you, but a spider can't be bulletproof, right?"

Chapter 41 Spider Sea Frenzy

"You're right, Bernard, it's unlikely that spiders are bulletproof."

Eugene, or the wizards in general, had no idea about the power of bullets, but Adam knew it.

"But you also have to consider the size difference between the bullet and the spider. A bullet may not kill the big guy directly. Instead, it may drive it crazy."

When Bernard took out a white phosphorus grenade to refute, Adam said:

"As far as I know, the only spider that can be this big is a magical animal called the Acromantula, which can usually grow to fifteen feet tall."

Bernard was silent, silently estimating in his mind how high fifteen feet was.

"Moreover, this kind of animal usually lives in groups. A small group may have dozens or hundreds of individuals, while a large group may have tens of thousands of individuals. Given the ecological conditions of the Forbidden Forest..."

Bernard put away the white phosphorus grenade:

"Ahem, why don't we turn around? This direction seems a bit dangerous."

Uther, Cologne, and Eugene all nodded in agreement.

As the saying goes, if you know there is a tiger in the mountain, you should not go there. There is no reason to rush forward when you know there are a lot of dangerous creatures ahead. What's the point?

However, after walking a distance, Adam suddenly called out to the others:

"Wait a minute."

Facing everyone's puzzled gazes, Adam sighed:

"We seem to have discovered it too late..."

After Adam finished speaking, there was silence all around. The sound of their footsteps disappeared, and the rustling sounds coming from all directions suddenly became clearer.

"We were discovered?"

"Maybe it was discovered a long time ago, maybe it bumped into some spider silk? Or maybe it was simply because it broke into their territory and was regarded as prey - think about it, a 15-foot-tall spider can't just lie on the spider web and wait for food to come to it."

Everyone's faces looked unhappy and they all clenched their wands.

“Spiders should be afraid of fire, right?”

Colon suggested.

"But if we set fire to the forbidden forest, what if the fire spreads..."

"But it's better than losing your life!"

"The fire made too much noise. We're about to have a holiday. Do you want to put them in solitary confinement?"

Adam gripped the Dark Staff tightly and looked around:

"Leave it to me to try..."

A huge magic circle unfolded on the ground with Adam's feet as the center, but it was not discovered because of the obstruction of humus. Only the eight-eyed giant spiders lying in ambush in the dark seemed to sense the danger, and the rustling footsteps caused a moment of confusion.

"This is my first time trying this, too. If it doesn't work, I'll have to ask the tree to do it myself..."

Adam waved the Dark Staff in his hand, and magic power surged into the magic circle under his feet like a tide, and into the tall trees around him.

Under the surprised gazes of Cologne and the other three, the surrounding trees suddenly began to move as if they had turned into animals, swaying their branches one by one, and the roots buried deep underground grew wildly, causing the soil to roll continuously and spread towards the distance -

The next moment, creepy roars came from all directions.

"Those, are all giant acromantic spiders?"

Cologne's face turned a little pale.

"What kind of magic is this?"

Uther's face also turned slightly pale, but he still looked at Adam in surprise.

"Tree card, can manipulate trees."

Adam had a serious expression. There were many more eight-eyed giant spiders around him than he had imagined. It was his first time to manipulate multiple trees at the same time, not to mention such a large number. This was not an easy task for him.

The roaring sounds were getting closer and closer. The trees in the Forbidden Forest were so tall that they almost completely blocked out the sunlight from above. So even in the afternoon they could only vaguely see many ferocious shadows behind the trees.

Maybe it was the tree roots that came to life under Adam's magic, or maybe it was the legs of the eight-eyed giant spider, but Cologne and the others hoped it was the former.

"careful!"

Suddenly a spider climbed up the tree, then jumped along the trunk several times and came to a place not far in front of them, then pounced towards them!

"Ah—armor protection!"

"Thunderbolt explosion!"

Cologne threw out an Shield Charm after a scream, but Uther behind him threw a Exploding Charm at the giant spider with a grim face, and the head of the eight-eyed giant spider, which was about the size of a basketball, exploded into pieces in the flames.

"There are many more of these giant spiders than I thought!"

Adam frowned and gritted his teeth.

Hundreds? Thousands? Adam wasn't sure, but he knew that the area within the tree sign's sensing range was filled with Acromanthus spiders. Could it be that they had unknowingly walked to the vicinity of the Acromanthus spider's nest?

"Adam, don't push yourself too hard."

After taking two deep breaths to calm his heartbeat, Uther looked around:

"You don't have to stop them all, you can let some of them come over. Just tell me the direction. I can handle them if they come one or two at a time!"

"I can help too."

Eugene, who was staring in another direction without reacting, said in a deep voice,

"Because of my parents, I know a few self-defense spells."

Bernard turned pale when he saw this scene and tightened the white phosphorus grenade in his pocket.

"The Unforgivable Curses are the worst kind of curses, but they are not the most powerful."

While controlling the trees, Adam also paid some attention to his surroundings. He was relieved to see the spider was dealt with. He noticed Bernard's situation, took a half step back and whispered in his ear:

"The existence of wizards in this world is not just due to isolation. Don't be too superstitious about the power of technology."

Bernard glanced at Adam and nodded.

"East!"

Adam suddenly reminded.

"Which way is east?"

"Shattered to pieces!"

Eugene used a spell to break half of the Acromanthus' body, and then immediately cast two more spells to kill the Acromanthus that had lost its balance.

Looking at the still confused Cologne, Uther, who also couldn't tell east, west, south or north without a reference, shook his head:

"Those who are capable of dealing with the Acromantula will be responsible for a fixed direction, so that it will be convenient for Adam to remind him!"

"it is good."

Eugene nodded.

"I know the freezing spell, which should be able to delay the Acromantula for a while."

A few blushes appeared on Cologne's pale face. He originally thought that it was quite good for a freshman to have such a skill, but when he looked at the others...

"It's enough, and you have the Armor Charm to block it."

"I... can also deal with the Acromantula."

Bernard gritted his teeth.
