v7 Chapter 118： the resurrected tom

From a certain point of view, William did not lie, the Forbidden Forest was really safe.

There is Hogwarts in the east, the Horse Tribe in the west, the Giant Corps in the north, the Eight-eyed Giant Spider in the south... There is also a cute three-headed dog Lu Wei squatting in the middle.

After seven years of operation, most of this forest has really turned into William's back garden.

Not so for Professor Slughorn.

At least since he was a child, he knew that this forest was really dangerous.

"William, do you have to come to the Forbidden Forest? I still think it's safer to be buried in Hagrid's pumpkin patch."

Even after entering the Forbidden Forest, Slughorn did not give up, trying to make a last-ditch effort.

"The fire dragon Norbert has been buried there." William explained in a low voice:

"Aragog doesn't like dragons, so don't let them be neighbors after they die."

In the Paris incident that year, Norbert was petrified by a basilisk, fell from the sky, and fell to pieces.

William took the dragon's corpse and did magic research, but the dragon's horn was given to Hagrid as a tomb.

But this reason is really outrageous, Slughorn scratched his head and said:

"I heard that there are many groups of eight-eyed giant spiders in the Forbidden Forest. They are not particularly safe. There are other dangerous magical creatures..."

"It's okay, I'm here." William comforted. "Come on one, I'll kill one."

Slughorn wanted to leave, but had gone so far, it would be foolish to go back now.

Since you can't go back, let's take the opportunity to collect some venom, after all, it will be buried in a while.

Anyway, the courageous, starved to death.

What's more, he really believed in William's strength.

He walked towards Aragog's corpse, his body rattling, all the sound of bottles hitting.

Old Aragog was dead, with eight milky white eyes staring blankly at the sky.

It was placed on a wooden cart and pulled by a giant spider with nine heads and eight eyes, like a nine dragon pulling a coffin.

Slughorn bent down in front of the big ao, and seemed to be examining the big head of Mao Sensen, but in fact he had already quietly pulled out a lot of bottles.

William saw this scene and did not stop it.

How could Slughorn follow into the depths of the Forbidden Forest without a lot of good.

The three went all the way in this way, and finally came to a canyon, the ground had already dug a hole, and there was a tombstone.

"Now... let's start the funeral?" William said, standing in front of the tombstone.

Hagrid nodded, stepped forward, dragged the giant spider, roared, and rolled it into the black pit. The corpse made a terrible creaking noise as it hit the bottom of the pit.

Hagrid cried again.

He was the only one who was sad at the scene.

Needless to say, Slughorn, he originally came for the venom of the eight-eyed giant spider;

As for William... Aragog probably hated him.

Over the years, William has held the basilisk and has been enslaving this group and raising them.

Aragog had always wanted to move the tribe away from William.

It's a pity...because of Akali's deliberate propaganda, the eight-eyed giant spider, a magical creature covered in treasures, is being hunted outside.

It's safer to stay here instead.

Seeing Hagrid crying so hard, Slughorn walked over and patted him on the elbow.

"Of course, you can't take it, because you know him best. But let me say a few words, a few condolences, to make him feel at ease."

Hagrid wiped his nose with a handkerchief, then nodded.

Slughorn had collected a lot of venom, so he was very satisfied, and his emotions came, and said in a slow, solemn tone:

"Because the **** of death, according to his kindness and good will, let Aragog, let us, the king of spiders, lay down the burden of this life, and we kindly put him into the ground.

He was dust, and now he is dust.

We know that all this breath of life is in the hands of the eternal, loving God of Death.

And he will promise eternal life to..."

A strange sound suddenly interrupted Slughorn's eulogy.

A group of huge eight-eyed giant spiders rushed out from the rocks on both sides, and they also spewed spider silk.

Slughorn was taken aback. He didn't know what the eight-eyed spider was trying to do, but he was wary.

Although he was old, he still had some reactions, otherwise he couldn't avoid the Death Eaters for a year.

Slughorn instinctively raised his wand and fired a spell.

But wherever the light passed, the cobwebs did not break. It stretches a little, then snaps back like a stretched bowstring.

Slughorn used three spells in a row to cut through some of the silk.

But more huge nets that fit together have fallen neatly, and each thread is as thick as a rope.

The eight-eyed spider slammed the black stinger, but Slughorn didn't react, and found himself hanging face down in the air.

He struggled, was terrified, and wanted to help others.

But when he turned his head, he found that Hagrid was also wrapped into a zongzi.

Slughorn also heard William casting a spell to stop the spiders.

"William, save me!" he shouted.

It was because he believed in William's strength that he would go deep into the Forbidden Forest.

But William seemed to be entangled by the eight-eyed giant spider and couldn't come to rescue.

Slughorn was thus dragged and ran out of the valley.

He shouted in horror, and the wand fell to the ground just as he was dragged.

Slughorn wanted to Apparate and run away, and the eight-eyed spider suddenly poked out bizarre, hairy legs.

There were a pair of shiny black stingers on it, and then the poison was injected into his neck.

Slughorn went limp.

Ruined……

He knows better than anyone how powerful the poison of the eight-eyed giant spider is. If he doesn't take the antidote immediately... he will die soon.

The group of spiders kept dragging the fat old man towards the depths of the forbidden forest.

Slughorn felt his eyes wandering, and he forced himself to find that he had come to the edge of a wide depression.

The trees in the hollow were cleared, and the stars illuminated the most terrifying sight he had ever seen in his life:

Countless eight-eyed giant spiders all fell to their knees, facing something in the middle, prostrate and shivering.

The eight-eyed giant spider descended the steep **** and walked towards a misty, hemispherical spider web in the center of the depression.

Slughorn soon learned what the spiders feared.

A five- or six-meter-long boa constrictor, with a green body, glowing with the dazzling light unique to poisonous snakes, its body is as thick as the trunk of an oak tree.

It stretched its upper body high into the air, its big flat head, staring at Slughorn.

- Basilisk.

Slughorn hurriedly avoided sight not to meet the basilisk.

But fortunately, the troll's eyes were already blocked by the black cloth.

And on the head of the basilisk, stood a young wizard.

Slughorn looked up, and when he saw the no-familiar and unfamiliar figure, his face paled as he was struck by lightning, and his body began to tremble violently involuntarily.

It was a slender figure, about sixteen years old, with black shiny hair, extremely handsome.

Between the slender fingers of the young wizard, he played with a wand, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Professor Slughorn, long time no see... nearly fifty years?"

Slughorn's breathing became more and more rapid, and he murmured:

"Tom... Riddle?!"
