Chapter 146: Unreliable rescue

efficient!

Seeing that the Dance Spell had a miraculous effect on the Acromanthus spider, Albert couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and continued to use the Dance Spell on the Acromanthus spider in front of him.

Although the loss of control of its two legs would affect the movement of the eight-eyed giant spider, it still rushed towards Albert, trying to tear the prey in front of it into pieces.

Albert was prepared. When the eight-eyed giant spider rushed towards him, he quickly used "Universal Protection" to deploy a protective barrier. The unlucky giant spider hit the invisible barrier again and was directly bounced away.

This time, the big spider fell quite badly. Because Albert had cast a dance spell on several of its legs, they were still shaking wildly, and it was unable to get up from the ground immediately.

Albert immediately removed the protective barrier and continued to use the dance spell on the eight-eyed giant spider while it was still struggling.

After being hit by several dance spells, the eight-eyed giant spider that had just climbed up found that its eight legs were completely out of control, just like someone wearing ice skates. Its eight legs kept shaking and it actually fell down on the spot. The scene was very funny for a while.

"Spiders are definitely not suited to tap dancing." Albert muttered, stepped back a distance, and began to cast all the attack spells he knew on the eight-eyed giant spider, so as to completely free the funny spider in front of him and avoid embarrassing itself in front of its other companions.

In fact, the process of Albert solving the eight-eyed giant spider was not as easy as he imagined. The eight-eyed giant spider is believed to be a magical creature cultivated by ancient wizards. This creature has strong resistance to magic, and ordinary spells have little effect on them.

Moreover, after they were created, they were usually used to guard wizards' homes or treasures, so they are very good at hunting down thieves quietly.

One-on-one, facing this kind of monster still requires some courage. Even adult wizards are not as good as Albert when facing these big spiders.

After all, not all wizards can use the defensive barrier as smoothly as Albert... ahem.

Spells also vary in difficulty.

The commonly used Light Spell is one of the easier types to master, and it is much easier to upgrade it to level 2 than other magic.

This spell is used frequently and is easy to master.

The highly useful Iron Armor Charm is of medium difficulty. The "Universal Protection", a variation of the Iron Armor Charm, is obviously more difficult to learn than the former.

One of the benefits of adding points through the system is that it allows Albert to easily master difficult magic and use it skillfully. When the skill level is higher, the power of the magic can be made stronger and more tricks can be evolved.

This can directly omit the exploration and experimentation of magic.

"What a pity, what a waste." Albert grumbled as he looked at the monster in front of him. He knew that the monster in front of him should be able to extract the venom of the giant spider, which was a very valuable liquid. A pint could be sold for 100 Galleons, and even more on the black market.

However, Albert knew that he did not have the courage and ability to deal with the giant eight-eyed spider in front of him.

"never mind!"

Albert felt sorry for missing out on a large sum of Galleons. He opened the task panel, chose to complete the "Angry Counterattack", and directly upgraded the "Spider Repel Spell" to level 2 on the skill panel.

The feeling of adding points is really amazing, knowledge emerges out of thin air.

Albert closed his eyes and carefully recalled the information about the spider repelling spell that appeared in his mind. He raised his wand and gently waved it at the lying eight-eyed giant spider:

"arania exumai."

A dazzling magical light hit the eight-eyed giant spider, instantly knocking the big spider away and leaving serious scars on the spider's body.

"This spell has maximum damage," Albert couldn't help but sigh, "It's worthy of being a spell specifically used against spiders."

After mastering the spider-repelling spell, Albert felt that he had gained a little more confidence. At least when facing the eight-eyed giant spider, he would not feel restrained.

"Just wait," he muttered, "I'll turn you all over in a minute."

Albert was about to move forward, but stopped again because he found a new task appeared on his panel:

Spider Hunter.

You have never been a forgiving person, and you will never forgive the big guys who want to eat you. Defeat or kill them, and let these black and hairy big guys know who they should not mess with.

Current progress: 0/20.

Reward: 10,000 experience points, item: 1 bottle of eight-eyed giant spider venom, title: Spider Hunter, reputation in the magic world +200.

After Albert finished reading the task, the muscles on his face twitched slightly. This system really holds a grudge!

Yeah, that's right.

After all, he is a good man, why would he hold a grudge

"Ya Ya, it's time for us to go." Albert squatted down, raised his hand and rubbed Ya Ya's head, and said softly, "You have to help me be alert to the surroundings, so that I won't be attacked by those big spiders."

Yes, this is what Albert is most worried about right now.

Fortunately, although the hound Yaya is timid, he is still quite vigilant and always sounds the alarm at the first opportunity.

Albert and Fangya walked a little further and finally came across an open space. He hesitated for a moment, then raised his wand and shot green sparks into the sky.

At this moment, the night of the Forbidden Forest was illuminated by sparks.

The moment the green flame lit up, many creatures in the Forbidden Forest looked up in the direction where the sparks were rising.

Albert's adventure was worth it, and red sparks lit up above the forest.

Fred and George also realized that someone was coming to rescue them, so they emitted red sparks to guide the professors who were rescuing them.

Unfortunately, the twins guessed wrong. The one who came to rescue them was not the professor at school, but their roommate and good friend Albert Anderson.

At this moment, Albert also encountered some troubles. As he went deeper into the forest, the number of eight-eyed giant spiders he encountered began to increase.

"Alanya Aitmi!"

As the sound of the spider repelling spell rang out, a white light lit up again in the dark forest, and another spider was knocked away by the spell, fell to the ground and could no longer get up.

"Am I about to break into the spider's nest?" Albert looked around at the several fallen eight-eyed giant spiders whose lives were unknown, and could not help but mutter.

Along the way, Albert didn't know how many eight-eyed giant spiders he had killed, and he was too lazy to continue counting.

The situation was not optimistic. Big spiders often appeared around him without warning and attacked him. If it weren't for Yaya's alarm, Albert would have been eaten by the eight-eyed giant spider long ago.

The Acromantula is a fierce predator that ambushes its prey almost silently.

After Albert confirmed again and again that there was no danger around, he shot green sparks into the sky again. He felt that he should be not far away from the Weasley brothers.

Yaya's condition wasn't too good either; it couldn't adapt to Apparition and was a little shaky when it walked.

After using Apparition several times in a row, Albert felt uncomfortable and vomited out all the chocolate he had just eaten.

The fact that I can still keep my mind clear is all thanks to my strong will!

Of course, this also has something to do with level 2 Apparition.

"Are they trapped?" Albert said to himself, looking at the red sparks above the night sky.

The distance between the two sides did not shorten much. If the Weasley brothers were also moving in this direction, they should have met each other long ago.

Albert was still moving in the direction where the red sparks were coming from. After crossing a fallen tree, he suddenly stopped.

Not far away, there were a lot of clattering sounds.

Albert had already figured out what it was, the sound of a giant eight-eyed spider moving. However, how many spiders would it take to make such a distinct and dense sound

Albert immediately held Yaya down to prevent him from barking, so as not to attract the eight-eyed giant spider in front. To be honest, Albert didn't know how the eight-eyed giant spider could get the sound from the outside world.

"Quiet, Yaya, don't scream. If you are surrounded by spiders, you will be dead." Albert patted Yaya lightly, gave her serious instructions, and then quietly moved forward.

The next moment, the expression on Albert's face froze.

He saw a scene that shocked him greatly: an army of spiders.

A group of giant Acromantulas were surrounding a big tree, and the Weasley brothers that Albert had been looking for were hanging on the tree, struggling to deal with the giant Acromantulas that were trying to approach them.

Albert had already guessed what kind of tree it was. Only the Guardian Tree could have such a magical effect. It was rumored that as long as one touched the trunk of the Guardian Tree, one would be protected from attacks by dark creatures.

However, nothing is absolute in this world.

Under normal circumstances, the eight-eyed giant spider would stay away from the guardian tree. But now it was different, with fresh blood and flesh automatically delivered to the door, and under the temptation of food, the effect of the guardian tree was not so obvious.

More and more huge eight-eyed giant spiders tried to attack the guardian tree, trying to drive down the humans hiding on the tree. As long as humans left the guardian tree, they could hunt their targets unscrupulously and enjoy their blood and flesh.

Temptation can sometimes really make people fearless, and this is obviously also useful when applied to the eight-eyed giant spider.

"Hold on, someone is coming, the Hogwarts professors are here to save us." George screamed loudly, raising his wand and shooting red sparks into the sky to point the direction of the professors coming to rescue them.

"Don't be distracted, those big spiders are coming again." Fred shouted.

"Block them, don't let them get close." When facing these huge spiders that were about to drive him crazy, George could only cheer himself up by encouraging himself.

The current situation is not optimistic. The giant spiders are attacking the guardian tree more and more frequently. The two can only use the barrier spell together to repel the eight-eyed giant spider.

Fortunately, not all the eight-eyed giant spiders dared to attack the guardian tree, otherwise the Weasley brothers would have become the delicious meal of these big spiders.

"What can I use to save you?" Albert looked at his wand, then looked in the direction of the Weasley brothers and muttered to himself.

If there weren't a lot of Acromantulas, Albert would have the confidence to kill them by force and bring the Weasley brothers out, but the current situation is not good!

Albert felt that even if he knew how to use the Spider Repel Spell, he would not be able to face such a large army of spiders at the same time. Unless he upgraded the Spider Repel Spell to a high level and made the effect of the spell more widespread, he would not be able to lead them out of the spider army at all.

Albert knew his own worth very well.

Actually, it's not that there is no solution at all. If you use Apparition, you should be able to Apparate over there, and then Apparate away with both of them.

This final insurance policy is still very reliable, but... if possible, Albert does not want to be exposed, because he cannot explain why he can Apparate.

genius

Even a genius might not be able to do it!

His use of ancient magic runes was probably suspicious enough, and if that could be explained by his genius with words, then how do we explain Apparition

Is all we can do now is wait

Albert glanced at his experience pool and opened the Spider Hunter task panel. Current progress: 20/20.

After receiving the experience of Spider Hunter, Albert's attention fell on another new task.

Spider Slayer.

You have some experience in dealing with giant spiders. Defeat as many Acromantulas as possible to make it realize who it has messed with.

Current progress::0

Reward: 50 points each.

Albert was speechless when he saw this task. He had never thought that there would be a monster-killing task. However, this monster seemed difficult to kill.

No, there is a way.

If I hide in the guardian tree with the twins, can't I just kill the monsters slowly

However, there is still a big problem.

How can I get there by myself

It's not easy to break through the encirclement of the spider army.

If you want to rush through, you need to open a gap, which can be done by the Spider Repel Charm. But how to rush through without being surrounded on the way is not easy. There is still some distance from here to the tree. If you want to pass safely, you need to... create a barrier.

There is no doubt that fire is the most suitable. Creating a flame channel can not only drive away the surrounding giant spiders, but also illuminate the surroundings to avoid being tripped while running.

But... my fire spell is only level 1, and I can't do what Albert wants.

Albert gritted his teeth and upgraded the fire spell to level 2.

"Fight hard. As long as you kill more monsters, you won't suffer any loss."

"YaYa, remember to follow me closely and don't fall behind!" Albert whispered. He couldn't help but clench his wand, took a deep breath, suddenly jumped out from his hiding place, and shot the eight-eyed giant spiders around the guardian tree to retreat.

At this moment, in the sight of Fred and George, dazzling white light suddenly fell on the group of spiders, and the army of spiders that originally surrounded the guardian tree was torn apart.

Several of the big spiders that they thought were difficult to deal with were even knocked down by the spell.

Both of them were a little confused and had no idea what was going on.

The next second, a large amount of flames suddenly emerged in the forest, and these flames turned into two blazing walls of fire, spreading towards the guardian tree, successfully isolating the giant spider outside the wall of fire.

Everything happened so suddenly that the twins, stunned for a moment, soon realized that someone had come to rescue them.

The two were about to come down from the guardian tree when they were stopped by a voice.

Someone was yelling over here: "Don't come down."

Fred and George were both stunned and looked at each other. Why did this voice sound so familiar

Could it be...
