Attack from the Acromantula
Instead of immediately casting Healing magic, Wizet used a technique she had learned in Snape's private lessons to first examine the type of toxins in the Crumple-Horned Snorkack's body.
"The Lumos!"
A bright light emanated from the tip of the wand, a light that was not dazzling, but warm like sunlight.
This was a spell he learned from Snape, a variant of the Wand-Lighting Charm, used to check whether materials contained Dark Magic.
The Crumple-Horned Snorkack let out a painful scream, and the flesh around the wound on its wing trembled incessantly.
Hagrid quickly rummaged through his pocket and pulled out a few pieces of food, stuffing them into the Crumple-Horned Snorkack's beak while gently humming, "Good Barry, don't be afraid... it'll be over soon..."
Under the illumination of the orb, wisps of Black Mist emanated from the trembling flesh, a clear sign of Dark Magic.
"Nox!" Wizet dispersed the ball of light. "Hagrid, are there many Dark Magic creature in the Forbidden Forest?"
Hagrid nodded. "There are quite a lot! Otherwise, Hogwarts wouldn't have a written rule that entering the Forbidden Forest and being discovered would be a violation of School Rules."
"Actually, this happens every winter. As the activity of ordinary animals decreases, those ferocious Magical creature will eat anything they can get hungry."
Just as he was speaking, two more Crumple-Horned Snorkack appeared.
Their condition wasn't good either; the wounds were mixed with green liquid.
"Magical creature capable of injuring the Crumple-Horned Snorkack..." Hagrid's eyes flickered, his face filled with solemnity and worry.
He put down the Crumple-Horned Snorkack he was carrying, strode to the wall, and took down the umbrella, leather coat, and crossbow hanging there.
Dressed neatly, he took a small packet of rations from his pocket and handed it to Wizet.
"I'll go check the Forbidden Forest ... If any more Crumple-Horned Snorkack come by, feed them this, and they won't be afraid of you anymore."
Hagrid left in a hurry, leaving Wizet and Fang in the cabin.
With Fang speed, Toothpick reached the window and, wagging its tail, watched Hagrid deep into the Forbidden Forest.
Several more Crumple-Horned Snorkack arrived at Hagrid's Hut, all looking shaken. Fortunately, they were given food by Hagrid and gradually calmed down.
Wizet exhaled softly and, following the techniques for handling materials, began to clean the wound with magic.
At first, the Crumple-Horned Snorkack would tremble in his arms, until the venom from the wound was drawn out, and then the Crumple-Horned Snorkack stopped trembling.
With the venom gone from its body, the Crumple-Horned Snorkack finally felt a little better.
"Wingardium Leviosa!" Wizet stared blankly at the venom floating in the air. "This venom looks so familiar... Have I seen it somewhere before?"
He used his Magic Eye to discern the clue from the symbols revealed by the venom.
"It's actually the Acromantula Venom? Are there such Magical creature in the Forbidden Forest...?"
The Acromantula is a dangerous creature classified as XXXXX Level. It generally lives in tropical rainforests, especially deep in the jungles of Kalimantan Island, where a large number of giant Acromantula inhabit.
Hogwarts is located in the Scottish Highlands, and the cold must be a huge challenge for the Acromantula.
In order to survive the harsh winter, it's no wonder they started hunting Magical creature.
They simply chose the wrong target; the Crumple-Horned Snorkack's movements are too agile, making it easy for them to put in a lot of effort for little reward.
According to the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", the Acromantula was bred by wizards to guard their homes or property.
Perhaps due to artificial breeding, this Magical creature is inherently cruel and will even hunt humans for food.
The Acromantula can weave extremely tough webs and secrete venom to better hunt its prey.
Its venom has extremely high Potions value; it can be used not only as a raw material for Invisibility Potion but also to neutralize Armadillo Bile.
Before being neutralized, Armadillo Bile is highly corrosive. Only by neutralizing it with the Acromantula Venom can its corrosiveness be eliminated, making it a raw material for the Brain-Boosting Potion.
In addition, diluted venom can be used as an enhancer for some Potions.
According to Snape, the highest quality Acromantula Venom costs one hundred Galleon per pint.
(P. S.: One pint is approximately equal to 550 milliliters, the weight of one bottle of Scream.)
After the Acromantula dies, the venom it stores dries up quickly.
To collect the venom, you have to do it when the Acromantula is half-dead.
This also means that wizards need to take risks to avoid being attacked by the Acromantula in its dying moments, which is why the Acromantula Venom is so expensive.
Continuing to clean the wounds of the Crumple-Horned Snorkack, Wizet collected a small vial of venom, about fifty milliliters in volume.
Unfortunately, these venoms have been mixed with blood, which slightly reduces their quality, preventing them from fetching the highest price.
After cleaning the wound, he began to help the Crumple-Horned Snorkack heal its wounds, "Episkey!"
The Healing magic emitted a vibrant green light, which fell upon the wound, causing the exposed flesh to twitch slightly...
Just as the wound was about to close, a Black Mist rose from the flesh, negating the effect of the Healing magic.
After this period of study, Wizet has become increasingly proficient in identifying different types of magic.
"No wonder it was rated as XXXXX Level ..." he said in a low voice, looking at the wisp of Black Mist. "It not only left behind venom, but also hid a layer of Poison Curse."
"Then let's try Ancient Magic!" Wizet raised his wand, drawing an "S" in the air, "Dust and Grime Begone!"
As the vortex rose, the Crumple-Horned Snorkack, trusting Wizet, did not hide, allowing the Purifying Cleansing Soul Washing Spell to sweep across its body.
The Purification and Cleansing Spell was remarkably effective, completely eradicating the poisonous curse.
A smile appeared on Wizet's face as she continued to treat the Crumple-Horned Snorkack.
It's incredibly rewarding to be able to put your knowledge to good use.
The wounds on its wings healed, and the Crumple-Horned Snorkack regained its spirit.
They would also extend their long beaks and affectionately rub against Wizet's arm.
The Crumple-Horned Snorkack started playing around, chasing each other, disappearing and reappearing together, touching each other's beaks, having a great time.
Wizet still maintained his Magic Eye, and he discovered something amazing— the Magic Circuit of the Crumple-Horned Snorkack actually changed during the process of flashing into existence.
He quickly took out his notebook and wrote down the Magic Circuit in its entirety.
However, he did not delve into the research; he simply refined the process of the Magic Circuit's changes, striving to record all the changes it contained.
"Looks like the Crumple-Horned Snorkack really likes you!" Hagrid returned to the cabin and shook the snowflakes off his leather coat.
"Hagrid, thank goodness you're back safe and sound!" Wizet put down his notebook and said with concern, "There are Acromantula in the Forbidden Forest, and these Crumple-Horned Snorkack Acromantula all attacked by them."
"You..." Hagrid's eyes flashed with panic as he asked nervously, "How do you know it was the Acromantula that attacked them?"
