Burn Down a Mountain, Rot in Prison

Even now, Arabela still doesn't understand what happened.

Isn't it hunting?

Didn't a foolish, delicious fawn wander into its hunting range?

The thrill of catching prey and the pleasure of enjoying delicious food—shouldn't it be experiencing ultimate pleasure right now?

So why did it suddenly become a corpse?

That's not how the script was written, Director!

Perhaps because of the physical pain, or perhaps because of the resentment in her heart, Arabela struggled fiercely.

Unfortunately, its death was inevitable; its violent struggles only hastened the end of its remaining time.

Looking at the 'corpse' that suddenly came to life before him, and at the green blood splattered everywhere, Bell lost even more of his appetite...

But he had already spent about three hours finally finding traces of the Acromantula. He couldn't just return empty-handed, could he?

Bell felt he couldn't bear such injustice. Therefore, in order for his research project tonight to continue smoothly.

" To Reduce to Dust!"

Bell decisively finished off the half-eaten Acromantula on the ground, turning the film back into a monster special effects movie from a gore movie.

Bell waved his Wand and severed the eight legs of the Acromantula. Then, after collecting valuable magical materials such as silk sacs and venom sacs, he used Transfiguration to bury the remaining remains underground.

There was no other way! It was just too disgusting. Accepting the spider legs was already the limit of Bell's tolerance!

After peeling off the spider legs and washing away the green blood on the flesh with a "Water-Cleansing Spell," it finally looked less disgusting.

Bell controlled the spider leg meat to float in front of him, then leaned in and gently sniffed it.

It's alright, it doesn't have much of a fishy smell.

Then, he pressed the tip of his Wand against it and used his magic to examine it carefully.

Good, it's not poisonous.

Next, all you need to do is take the ingredients back to Lim and let her try cooking them to find the best cooking method.

However, experiments are very resource-intensive, so the eight legs of just one spider are not enough; he needs to collect more.

To be honest, when he first saw the Acromantula, he got so excited that he killed it without thinking twice, without even having a chance to ask where its lair was. This is going to be a bit of a problem.

However, animals generally have their own territories, and hunting grounds are unlikely to be far from their habitats. So, if we walk a little further ahead, we should be at the habitat of the Acromantula, right?

"Yes, that must be it!"

Bell mentally rallied himself. If he were to spend another few hours circling in the sky, he might just lose his temper and set the mountain on fire.

As it turned out, Bell's character was still quite good. After continuing in the same direction for 10 minutes, he noticed that the number of spiders around him had increased dramatically, and the surrounding trees were covered with spider webs.

Bell was overjoyed. All his hard work tonight had finally paid off. He was determined to collect as much as possible later.

Just as Bell was pondering how much to collect to achieve sustainable development, a dozen or so Acromantula suddenly sprang out from behind the surrounding trees.

Each of these spiders is the size of a small truck. Regardless of their actual strength, the sheer force of their charge is enough to frighten many people.

Unfortunately, Bell wasn't among those "many people." Moreover, he had already detected these lurking spiders within Bell sensory domain.

Bell watched the charging Acromantula with a leisurely air, observed their running speed, and then raised his Wand.

"Incendio!"

A Fire Pillar shot out from Bell's Wand, forming a fiercely burning fan-shaped wall of fire as Bell waved it.

All the Acromantula that charged forward were engulfed in flames. They howled and rolled around, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies.

However, it was all in vain. In less than five seconds, all the burning Acromantula stopped. They curled up on the spot and were burned to a pile of charcoal.

"Oh no! I cast the wrong Curses!"

Seeing that the opponent had multiple targets, Bell instinctively used the ' Flame Spell ', which is best suited for area-of-effect attacks.

But where is this place?

This is Forbidden Forest!

Not only are there tall trees all around, but the trees are also covered with flammable spider webs!

Although Bell had previously been so frustrated that he considered setting the Forbidden Forest on fire, it was just a thought; he wasn't actually that ruthless. If he accidentally set the Forbidden Forest ablaze, Dumbledore would be hunting him down all over the world! He didn't want to play hide-and-seek with Old Dumbledore.

Even putting all that aside, those spiders were burned to a crisp; how was he supposed to gather food from them?

Waste is shameful; Bell is not some destructive maniac who enjoys killing.

"Watery Waterfall!"

This time, a jet of Water Pillar shot out from Bell's Wand. The high-pressure Water Pillar Cleansweep, and the flames in front of Bell vanished in the blink of an eye, like a simple sketch erased by an eraser.

Looking at the mess in the woods, Bell wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness, I reacted quickly."

While Bell was busy putting out the fire, the Acromantula were not idle either. They bypassed the flames and attacked Bell from behind while he was focused on the front.

"Sigh~ You guys are really brainless. Didn't that attack just now make you realize that your so-called sneak attack was completely meaningless?"

Several Earth Spike suddenly protruded from behind Bell, piercing the bodies of the Acromantula and suspending them in mid-air.

Realizing they couldn't get close to Bell, several Acromantula sprayed their deadly venom. The venom precisely passed through the gaps between the Earth Spike, striking Bell, who stood rooted to the spot, unable to react.

However, before they could celebrate the fall of yet another enemy to the combined efforts of the spiders, they were surprised to find that Bell did not fall to the ground screaming in agony as they had imagined, and then be corroded into a pool of pus and blood by the venom.

When the Venom Spray towards Bell, it was blocked by an invisible barrier, and it didn't touch Bell at all.

Just as Bell always taught Shanna, a qualified wizard should first cast a shield on himself as a basic skill.

Before entering the Forbidden Forest, Bell had already cast an "Shield Charm" on himself. Not to mention, he was also wearing various defensive accessories.

So the Acromantula thought they could defeat Bell so easily?

Keep dreaming!
