Harry Potter: The Age of Magic

Chapter 19 Spider Swarm

The originally dark and silent cave was now filled with the constant hissing sound caused by the friction of the spider's front legs as it walked.

Rossi leaned against the damp, cold and uneven stone wall, holding the wand in one hand and pointing forward, while the other hand quickly rummaged through the skill list.

Due to the insufficient affinity of the wand, there are only a few magics she can use now. Among these magics, except for the magic used for healing, defense, and the magic spells that reveal the hidden information of invisible units and items, she can use

There are only a handful of uses.

"Can the 'Expelliarmus' spell be used?" Rossi muttered, glancing at the giant spider not far away, "Its mouthparts should be considered weapons, right? But this magic can't deal with that large group of spiders.

ah!"

Seeing that the spider closest to him had raised its front legs and made an attack gesture, Rossi didn't think about it anymore and directly cast the spell.

Red light shot out from the top of the wand like electricity, and the huge force knocked the spider flying in mid-air.

With the fleeting light when the spell was cast, she could not help but gasp when she saw the whole cave again.

At this time, the cave was densely filled with spiders of different sizes. Rossi could clearly see that the giant spider that was knocked away by the curse crushed several spiders that had no time to dodge when it landed on the ground.

But this time, Rosie also discovered the weakness of these spiders: the moment the red light came on, the spiders crawling towards her all took a few steps back.

"They're afraid of light?!"

Thinking of this, Rossi couldn't help but feel regretful, "Why didn't I learn 'fluorescent flashing' back then? What's the point of learning 'mark manifestation'... mark manifestation?!"

Rossi, who was complaining about himself in his heart, suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help showing an expression of joy on his face.

Mark Appearance: After being cast, a burning line of fire will be produced in the air, which can be "drawn" into a specific shape with a wand. It has no damage effect and is used to convey messages or mark information. Duration: ten minutes.

Rossi pointed the wand in his hand diagonally upward, and a burning flame suddenly burst out from the wand. Seeing the fire again, the spiders all took dozens of steps back.

After writing a big word "Go" in the void in front of him, Rossi used the firelight to see that the retreating spiders had just opened the stone door, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.

Sticking out her tongue and making a face in the direction of the spiders, she picked up the broomstick that happened to have fallen not far away from her and moved it cautiously towards the stone door.

Just as they were about to reach the door, the spiders suddenly started to commotion.

When Rossi saw this, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and immediately broke away and rushed towards the stone gate with all his strength.

However, before she could even take two steps, a huge spider web immediately wrapped her up. Feeling the sticky threads clinging to her skin, Rosie instantly felt goosebumps all over her body.

Before she could struggle, the second and third spider webs flew over and wrapped her tightly.

"It's over, there's no hope of saving this time!" Rossi was instantly heartbroken.

Seeing that the prey was caught in the net, an obviously larger giant spider in the spider group slowly climbed forward, followed suit by walking up to Rossi who was pressed to the ground by the net, and tentatively stretched out its front legs to stir Luo Xi.

Xi exposed her legs outside the spider web a few times.

Seeing that she still didn't move, the giant spider rubbed its two front legs with satisfaction, making a harsh sound like the clash of gold and iron.

Rossi, whose body was trembling with fear, saw the giant spider opening its sharp claws and exposing its huge mouthparts and approaching him. He couldn't help but close his eyes and prepared to directly open the system panel and choose to commit suicide and resurrect.

"After committing suicide, the current dungeon mission will be deemed to be voluntarily abandoned. Do you confirm?"

Just as Rosie was about to confirm, she suddenly heard that the giant spider beside her seemed to take a few steps back. Not knowing why, she immediately stopped her suicide attempt, opened her eyes and looked over there.

As if they sensed something terrible, these giant spiders were crowded in layers and retreated like a tide from the entrance of the hole that Rossi had broken through before. Within a moment, there was no longer a living one in the cave.

spider.

"Huh!" Rossi took a long breath and muttered to himself, "Did I escape death?"

Although she was still stuck to the ground by the cobwebs at this time, she felt much more relaxed.

Holding the wand, his right hand, which could barely move, slowly pointed the tip of the wand at himself, and used the levitation spell to levitate himself from the ground along with layers of spider webs.

Rosie, who was hanging in the air, didn't care whether it felt disgusting or not. He put the wand away in the inventory, grabbed the spider web with both hands and tugged hard, and threw the whole person to the side.

The sudden increase in gravity caused the first-level levitation spell to immediately fail, and the suspended spider web and her immediately fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Rossi didn't hesitate in his actions just now. At the same time that the suspension spell failed, he was able to shake off the cobwebs, draw a parabola with his body, and land lightly on the ground.

Rossi glanced in the direction where the spider retreated and found nothing unusual. After thinking for a moment, Rossi decided to walk in the direction outside the stone door.

After exiting the stone gate, you are facing a long and narrow path that goes diagonally upward. On the left side of the path, there is a small canal that submerges into the mountain at the stone gate.

Judging from the system map, the upper part of this location is already within the scope of the Forbidden Forest.

Rossi squatted down and put his hands into the ditch, and after cleaning the spider slime on it, Rossi walked up the path along the path.

Without the magic flame to act as a source of illumination, her field of vision soon became dark and narrow again.

After walking like this for about two minutes, Rossi finally came to a platform.

This platform is obviously man-made. In addition to the upper passage where you can clearly feel the wind blowing in, there are two passages on the left and right. In the center of the platform, there is also a reservoir with flowing water.

Before Rosie stepped onto the platform, she could already smell a putrid smell. When she walked up cautiously, she immediately saw the dried and flat toad carcasses piled up on the platform.

"What's going on?" Rossi's mind raced rapidly, guessing what kind of monster the thing that feeds on toad blood could be.

At this moment, she suddenly felt her arms tighten, as if she was being held by someone.

"Yeah!!" Rossi was startled. He used all his strength to break free from the grasped arm, and jumped forward a few meters. At the same time, he quickly took out the wand from the inventory and pointed to the corridor on the left.

The dark figure said: "Who? What is it?"

I heard a hoarse female voice say a little stiffly: "Rosie, don't be afraid, it's me, Grace."

Hearing this, Rosie took a few steps closer in surprise. When she saw clearly that the girl wearing an emerald robe and an emerald eye patch was the same Grace she had seen before, she truly breathed a sigh of relief.
