First Showing Prominence

"Click click click~ It's no use, you can't escape!"

Aragog laughed triumphantly as he watched Bell stumble on the spot.

"Foolish wizards, arrogance and hubris are your only path to death! You want to eat our spider flesh? I'll eat you first!"

Bell glanced speechlessly in the direction the voice came from. So, is it really a good idea to expose yourself like this? Isn't it a bit too hasty?

Bell gently tapped his Wand against himself, and a layer of flame adhered to the Shield Charm, forming a Flame Shield.

Then he activated the Flying Shoes on his feet, and with a sonic boom, Bell disappeared from his spot and appeared outside the encirclement of the Acromantula.

As you can see, a hole was burned into the spider web by the flames, and Bell crawled out through that hole.

Aragog's laughter abruptly stopped, and a rustling sound came from the darkness, clearly indicating that the old spider was making an emergency relocation.

So there's no need to be in such a hurry.

Of course, Aragog's so-called secret transfer was meaningless to Bell. After all, within Bell's Magic Perception range, every move of the giant spiders could not escape his observation.

However, Bell did not attack the old spider.

After all, Spider-Man was Hagrid's precious son. As the saying goes, even if you don't care about the monk, you should care about the Buddha. Out of respect for Hagrid, Bell couldn't bring himself to attack Spider-Man.

Moreover, as the saying goes, the older one gets, the more timid one becomes, and the old spider's behavior clearly shows that it's extremely afraid of death. So if it fell into Bell's hands, Bell was 100% certain that the other party would immediately back down. But then, wouldn't there be no spider to fight alongside Bell... cough cough, is this some kind of practical magic practice? That won't do!

Because of the time spent talking earlier, most of the giant spiders in the group had already gathered nearby.

The sheer number of them gave these Acromantula, who had never fought a wizard before, confidence.

If the one fighting them now is just an ordinary adult wizard, perhaps the spiders really can drive away, or even eliminate, the intruder?

However, reality doesn't allow for "what ifs." Simply accumulating quantity is clearly insufficient to trigger a fundamental qualitative change.

Therefore, the arrival of hundreds of giant spiders only made Bell fight even more enthusiastically!

Of course, during the battle, Bell did not forget his original goal—"collecting ingredients".

So even though he felt it was a bit troublesome, he didn't use his most proficient ice and fire Curses.

Not to mention the fire, the painful lessons learned before (wasting a lot of ingredients) have been deeply etched into Bell's mind.

As for the "ice Curses," it's said that frozen ingredients become less fresh and affect their taste.

Earth Spike continuously pierced through the ground. Occasionally, an Earth Wall would rise up, either to block the giant spiders from approaching, to deflect the spray of venom, or to obstruct vision, helping Bell escape the spiders' encirclement.

Setting yourself on fire is no pleasant experience. Although the Shield Charm insulates you from the heat of the flames, the intense heat quickly depletes oxygen. Therefore, if the Flame Shield is maintained for too long, the person inside is likely to suffer from oxygen deprivation.

Fortunately, these giant spiders can't fly. Although they have great explosive power, their sustained movement speed is not fast. So, with the speed of his Flying Shoes, Bell was able to deal with them relatively easily.

Some giant spiders climbed up trees to avoid the Earth Spike. But didn't these poor children ever think that since Bell could use Transfiguration on the ground, he could naturally use Transfiguration on trees as well?

The tree seemed to have suddenly come to life.

Some branches intertwined to form a giant hand, which flattened the Acromantula with a single slap.

In some cases, branches or roots suddenly extend, their sharp tips Earth Spike straight into the head of the Acromantula and pinning it to the tree.

If an outsider were watching, they would be surprised to find that over 90% of the Acromantula are killed instantly by a sharp object piercing their skull.

The fruits of Bell's years of hard training First Showing Prominence tonight.

Not long ago, a roaring sound began to echo throughout the depths of the Forbidden Forest. Some animals, whether nocturnal or diurnal, were all thrown into a state of restlessness.

Wild instincts told these animals that a great danger was slowly approaching not far from them. However, they could not pinpoint the source of the danger, so they could only flee in all directions like headless flies, or be at a loss.

"Ronan, Mars is exceptionally bright tonight."

Firenze listened to the roar echoing in his ears and felt the ground tremble, then exclaimed to his companion.

The two were conducting their nightly patrol. As the largest Centaur Tribe in the Forbidden Forest Forbidden Forest, they had to safeguard its security and eliminate dangerous elements.

This was both their agreement with Dumbledore and their duty to protect the safety of the foals in the tribe.

"Yes, Mars is twinkling in the distance; that's the territory of the Acromantula colony."

After observing the constellations, Ronan also drew his own conclusions.

A series of rapid hoofbeats rang out. Soon, more than a dozen figures emerged from the dense forest and appeared in the sight of the two centaurs.

"Ronan, Firenze, are you two alright?"

Bane, the leader of the centaur Patrol Team, led the rest of the Patrol Team members and ran quickly over.

"We're fine," Firenze replied. "Mars are glittering over the Acromantula's territory. Bane, what are you planning to do?"

"We have to go and see!" Bane said firmly.

"The colony of Acromantula has been expanding rapidly in recent years. Perhaps they are plotting something wicked. We must keep a close watch on them to ensure they do not threaten our tribe."

"But that would be dangerous. The light from Mars tells me that the Acromantula are suffering a disaster, and our approach might even help them. I think we should wait and see for now."

Ronan clearly disagreed with Bane's decision, believing that the centaurs should be more cautious.

However, Ronan was not the leader of the Patrol Team, and the hot-tempered Bane would not listen to his advice.

"Centaurs never fear danger! We are fearless! So if you're afraid, then stay here, Ronan. We will bring back the heads of the Acromantula! Firenze, what about you? Will you stay here, or come with us?"

Deep down, Firenze largely agreed with Ronan's assessment. The planetary trajectories told him they shouldn't approach the source of the chaos. However, he hadn't gleaned any dangerous information from the stars.

Seeing Bane's persistence, Firenze tugged at Ronan's arm and followed at the back of the group, rushing towards the location of the Acromantula.
