Chapter 147 Unreliable Rescue

efficient!

Seeing that the Dance Step Spell had a miraculous effect on the Acromantula, Albert couldn't help but feel relieved and continued to use the Dance Step Spell on the Acromantula in front of him.

Although losing control of its two legs would affect the Acromantula's movements, it still rushed towards Albert, trying to tear the prey in front of it into pieces.

Albert was already prepared. When the Acromantula rushed toward him, he quickly used "Total Protection" to deploy a protective barrier. The unlucky big spider hit the invisible barrier again and was directly ejected.

This time, the big spider fell a bit badly. Because some of its feet were still shaking wildly due to the dancing spell cast by Albert, it was hard to get up from the ground in the first place.

Albert immediately lifted the protective barrier and continued to use the dance spell on the Acromantula while it was still struggling.

After being hit by several dancing spells, the Acromantula found that it had completely lost control of its eight legs as soon as it got up. It was as if someone had put on skate boots, its eight legs were shaking constantly, and it actually fell down. The scene was very funny for a time. .

"Spiders are definitely not suitable for tap dancing." Albert muttered, stepped back a certain distance, and began to use all the attack spells he knew on the Acromantula, completely freeing the funny spider in front of him. To avoid embarrassment in front of its other companions.

 Actually, Albert's process of solving the Acromantula was not as easy as he imagined. The Acromantula is considered to be a magical creature cultivated by ancient wizards. This creature is not weakly resistant to magic, and ordinary spells have no obvious effect on them.

Moreover, after they are created, they are usually used to protect wizards' residences or treasures, so they are very good at hunting down thieves silently.

 One-on-one, facing this kind of monster still requires some courage. Even an adult wizard is not even as good as Albert when facing these big spiders.

  After all, not all wizards can open...ahem, use defensive enchantments as smoothly as Albert.

 Spells are also divided into different levels of difficulty.

The commonly used luminous spells are relatively easy to master, and the difficulty of upgrading to level 2 is much lower than other magics.

This mantra is often used and easy to master.

 The highly usable Iron Armor Curse is of medium difficulty. The "Total Protection" which is a variant of the Iron Armor Curse is obviously more difficult to learn than the former.

One of the benefits of adding points to the system is that it allows Albert to easily master those difficult magics and use them skillfully. After the skill level is higher, the magic can be more powerful and evolve more. tricks.

 This can directly omit the exploration and experiment of magic.

“What a waste,” Albert muttered as he looked at the monster in front of him. He knew that the monster in front of him should be able to extract Acromantula venom, which was a very precious liquid. A pint could be sold for a hundred galleons, or even higher on the black market.

However, Albert also knew that he did not have the courage and ability to deal with the Acromantula in front of him.

"never mind!"

Albert felt regretful that he missed a large amount of galleons. He opened the mission panel, chose to complete "Angry Counterattack", and directly upgraded the "Spider Repelling Curse" to level 2 on the skill panel.

 The feeling of adding points is really amazing, knowledge is generated out of thin air.

Albert closed his eyes and carefully recalled the information about the Spider Dispersing Curse that appeared in his brain. He raised his wand and waved it gently towards the motionless Acromantula:

 “AraniaExumai.”

 A dazzling magical light hit the Acromantula, instantly knocking the big spider away and leaving serious scars on the spider's body.

“This spell does maximum damage,” Albert couldn’t help but sigh. “It is indeed a spell specifically used against spiders.”

After mastering the spider dispersing spell, Albert felt a little more confident. At least when facing the Acromantula, he no longer felt constrained.

“Wait for me,” he muttered, “I’ll knock you all over.”

Albert was about to move on, but stopped again because he found that a new task appeared on his panel:

Spider Hunter.

 You have never been a tolerant person, and you will never forgive the big guys who want to eat you. Defeat or kill them, and let these dark and hairy big guys know who they cannot mess with.

 Current progress: 0/20.

Reward: 10,000 experience, item: 1 bottle of Acromantula venom, title: Spider Hunter, reputation in the magic world +200.

 After reading the task, Albert’s muscles on his face twitched slightly. This system really holds a grudge!

Hmm, that’s right.

 After all, he is a good man, how could he hold a grudge?

“Ya Ya, it’s time for us to go.” Albert squatted down, raised his hand and rubbed Ya Ya’s head, and said softly, “You have to help me be vigilant about the surroundings, and don’t let me be attacked by those big spiders.”

 Yes, this is what Albert is most worried about right now.

 Fortunately, although the hound Yaya is timid, his vigilance is quite reliable and he can always sound the alarm as soon as possible.

Albert and Yaya walked forward for a while, and finally encountered another open space. He hesitated for a moment, then raised his wand and fired green sparks into the sky.

At this moment, the night in the Forbidden Forest was illuminated by sparks.

 At the moment when the green fire light lit up, many creatures in the Forbidden Forest looked up to the direction where the sparks rose.

 Albert's adventure was worth it, red sparks lit up above the forest.

Fred and George also realized that someone was coming to rescue them, so they fired red sparks to guide the professors who rescued them.

Unfortunately, the twins guessed wrong, and the person who came to save them was not their school professor, but their roommate and good friend Albert Anderson.

At this moment, Albert also encountered some troubles. As he went deeper into the forest, the number of Acromantulas he encountered began to increase.

 “Alanya Aite Mi!”

As the sound of the spider dispersing curse sounded, a white light once again lit up in the dark forest. Another spider was knocked away by the curse and fell to the ground and could not get up again.

“Am I about to break into the spider’s lair?” Albert couldn’t help but muttered as he looked around at the fallen Acromantulas whose life and death were unknown.

Along the way, Albert didn’t know how many Acromantulas he had killed, and even he himself was too lazy to continue counting.

The situation is not very optimistic. There are often big spiders around that attack him without warning. If it weren't for Yaya's warning, Albert would have been eaten by the Acromantula.

The Acromantula is a ferocious predator that ambush its prey almost silently.

After Albert repeatedly confirmed that there was no danger around him, he fired green sparks into the sky again. He felt that the distance between him and the Weasley brothers should not be far away.

The situation of Yaya is not good either. It cannot adapt to the Apparition and is a little wobbly when walking.

 After using Apparition several times in a row, Albert felt uncomfortable. He vomited out all the chocolate he had just eaten.

 The fact that I can still keep my brain clear now is really thanks to my tenacity!

Of course, this has something to do with Level 2 Apparition.

 “Are they trapped?” Albert said to himself, looking at the red sparks above the night sky.

 The distance between the two sides has not shortened much. If the Weasley brothers had also moved in this direction, the two sides should have met long ago.

Albert was still heading in the direction of the red sparks. After crossing a fallen tree, he suddenly stopped.

Not far away, there were a bunch of clicking and rustling sounds.

Albert already recognized what it was, the sound the Acromantula made when it moved. However, how many spiders are needed to make such an obvious and dense sound?

Albert immediately held down his teeth to prevent him from barking, lest he attract the Acromantula in front of him. To be honest, Albert didn't know how the Acromantula obtained external sounds.

"Quiet, Yaya, don't scream. If you are attacked by spiders, you will be dead." Albert patted Yaya gently, and after giving serious instructions, he quietly moved forward.

 The next moment, the expression on Albert's face froze.

 He saw a scene that shocked him extremely, an army of spiders.

A bunch of Acromantulas are surrounding a big tree, and the Weasley brothers that Albert is looking for are hanging on the tree, tired of dealing with the Acromantulas trying to get close to them.

Albert has already guessed what kind of tree it is. Only the guardian tree can have this magical effect. It is said that as long as you touch the trunk of the guardian tree, you can be protected from attacks by dark creatures.

 However, there are no absolutes in this world.

 At normal times, the Acromantula will stay away from the Dharma Protector Tree. But it's different now. Fresh flesh and blood is automatically delivered to your door. With the temptation of food, the effect of the Dharma Protector Tree is not so obvious.

More and more huge Acromantulas are trying to attack the protector tree, trying to drive down the humans hiding in the tree. As long as humans leave the protector tree, they can hunt their targets unscrupulously and enjoy the blood and flesh.

 Temptation can really make people fearless sometimes, and this is obviously very useful when applied to the Acromantula.

"Hang on, someone is coming, the professors from Hogwarts are coming to save us." George screamed loudly. He raised his wand and fired red sparks into the sky to point the way to the professors who came to rescue them.

“Don’t be distracted, those big spiders are coming again.” Fred shouted.

“Block it, don’t let them get close.” When faced with these big spiders that were about to bring him to collapse, George could only cheer up through self-encouragement.

 The current situation is not optimistic. The giant spiders are attacking the guardian tree more and more frequently. Only by using the obstacle spell together can the two of them repel the Acromantula.

 Fortunately, not all Acromantulas dare to attack the Guardian Tree, otherwise the Weasley brothers would have become a delicious meal for these big spiders.

"What should I use to save you?" Albert glanced at his wand, then looked in the direction of the Weasley brothers, and muttered to himself.

If the number of Acromantulas is not large, Albert would be confident in killing them by force and bringing out the Weasley brothers, but the current situation is not good!

Albert felt that even if he could use the spider dispersing spell, he would not be able to face such an army of spiders at the same time. Unless he upgraded the spider dispersing spell to a high level to make the effect of the spell more extensive, he would not be able to lead them away from the spider army. Fight your way out.

Albert knew very well how many pounds he had.

 Actually, it's not completely impossible. If you use Apparition, you should be able to do it. You can Apparate there by yourself, and then Apparate them directly and leave.

This final insurance is still very reliable, but...if possible, Albert doesn't want to be exposed, because he can't explain why he Apparated.

genius?

I’m afraid even a genius can’t do it!

His use of ancient magic texts is probably suspicious enough. If that can be explained by linguistic genius, how can the Apparition be explained?

 Can we only wait?

Albert glanced at his experience pool and opened the Spider Hunter mission panel. The current progress is: 20/20.

 After receiving the Spider Hunter experience, Albert's eyes fell on another new mission.

 The spider slayer.

 You have gained some experience in dealing with giant spiders. Defeat as many Acromantulas as possible so that they understand who they are messing with.

 Current progress::0

  Reward: 50 points each.

Albert was speechless when he saw this mission. He had never thought that there would be a monster spawning mission. However, this monster seemed difficult to spawn.

 No, there is a way.

If you hide in the Dharma Protector Tree with the twins, wouldn't you be able to clear monsters slowly?

However, there is still a big problem.

How can I get there by myself?

It is not easy to break through the siege of the spider army.

If you want to rush over, you need to open a gap, and the Spider Dispersing Curse can do it. But how to rush over without being surrounded on the way is not easy. There is still a long way from here to that tree. If you want to get over safely, you need to …Create a barrier.

There is no doubt that flame is the most suitable. Creating a flame channel can not only drive away the giant spiders around, but also illuminate the surroundings to avoid tripping when running.

 But...my own fire spell is only level 1, and it is impossible to do what Albert wants to do.

 Albert gritted his teeth and upgraded the fire spell to level 2.

 “If you fight hard, as long as you fight more monsters, you won’t suffer any loss.”

"Ya Ya, remember to follow me later, don't fall behind!" Albert whispered. He couldn't help but hold the wand tightly, took a deep breath, suddenly jumped out of his hiding place, and headed towards the Acromanttum around the guardian tree. Spider launches spiders to retreat.

At this moment, in the field of vision of Fred and George, dazzling white lights suddenly fell on the spiders. The spider army that originally surrounded the guardian tree was torn apart.

Those big spiders that they thought were difficult to deal with were even knocked down by spells.

Both of them were a little confused and had no idea what was going on.

The next second, a large amount of flames suddenly burst out in the forest, and these flames actually turned into two blazing fire walls, spreading towards the guardian tree, successfully blocking the big spider from the fire wall.

 Everything happened so suddenly. The twins, who were stunned for a moment, soon realized that someone was coming to save them.

 The two were about to get down from the Dharma Protector Tree, but were stopped by a voice.

 Someone was shouting in this direction: "Don't come down."

Fred and George were both stunned and looked at each other, wondering why this voice was so familiar.

 Could it be...

   Thanks to Aojian Kuangfeng for the 40,000 reward
