Chapter 275： Sneak attack

Chapter 275: Sneak attack

Before leaving, Albert glanced back at the jungle behind him and said to Hagrid: "The centaurs probably don't make any difference between wizards and Muggles. Those guys prefer to be outsiders and watch completely. By."

Hagrid, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, glanced at Albert, and then looked around and said, "The centaurs are really difficult to get along with. I spent many years at Hogwarts before I learned how to deal with them."

“I looked through the Centaur literature in the library. They are well versed in magical healing, divination, archery and astronomy.”

Since he had dealt with centaurs, Albert also spent some time looking up information about centaurs. These guys would rather be regarded as beasts by the Ministry of Magic than deal with wizards.

In the Ministry of Magic, there is a joke about "being sent to the Centaur Liaison Office", which means that the person will be expelled immediately, because no centaurs have ever used the Centaur Liaison Office, and they do not welcome people from the Ministry of Magic.

"Don't mess with centaurs. They are usually very arrogant." Hagrid reminded him worriedly. He knew that Albert did not get along well with centaurs.

"I usually don't take the initiative to provoke others." Albert shook his head and followed Hagrid in the direction pointed by Ronan.

 However, luck was not on their side.

The two of them have been searching in the Forbidden Forest for a long time, but still found no trace of Lu Wei. It seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

 This is not a good sign.

"Go back, Hagrid." Albert looked at Hagrid's back and suggested: "We need to change our approach."

"I'm going to meet Aragog." Hagrid hesitated and said, "Maybe Aragog will know the whereabouts of Lu Wei."

 “Who is Aragog?” Albert asked curiously. He thought it might be the name of an Acromantula. In the sixth part, Hagrid buried an Acromantula.

"Aragog was raised by me before..." Hagrid hesitated for a moment, then told Albert, "An Acromantula."

"Is it really the Acromantula? I won't go with you. What happened last year didn't have a good relationship with those big spiders. You should be careful." Albert had no objection to Hagrid going. Aragog looked for his Acromantula, but he wouldn't go.

　　Only a fool would do this if he still tries his best to get forward even though he knows that he is in danger.

“Don’t worry, they won’t hurt you as long as I’m here.” Hagrid assured him, patting his chest hard.

"You probably don't know that last year, in order to save George and Fred who were surrounded by Acromantulas, I killed several Acromantulas and brought down hundreds of them." Albert glanced at Hagrid , his expression suddenly became weird, "Of course I believe you will try your best to protect my safety, but I don't believe in the Acromantulas. They are cruel by nature and like to eat human flesh. I believe those big guys won't mind if I surrender." Snare.”

"As long as I'm here, Aragog's community won't hurt you." Hagrid was stunned for a moment and said firmly.

"Aragog may not, but other Acromantulas will. Only a powerful dark wizard can use the power to command those big spiders." It's not that Albert doesn't believe Hagrid's words, but he doesn't believe Hagrid. Judgment of character.

 “I’m going back.” He turned around and prepared to find a place to apparate, returning directly to the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts.

"Wait, I'll send you off..." Hagrid didn't trust Albert to go back by himself. The other party kindly helped him find Lu Wei, and he also needed to be responsible for Albert's safety.

At this moment, there was a sudden rustling sound all around, as if something was moving quickly this way.

“Watch out, come to me quickly!” Hagrid raised his bow and aimed at the direction of the sound.

The moment the voice sounded, Albert was already extremely vigilant, waving his wand and preparing to use defensive magic to protect himself.

 However, it was already too late.

A black shadow shot out of the forest like an arrow and pounced on Albert.

"Be careful." Hagrid was frightened and angry. He shot an arrow at the shadow, but the shadow easily dodged it. Seeing that the shadow was about to pounce on Albert, he saw Albert muttering something. He raised his left hand and pushed something forward.

boom!

 A dull sound resounded in the Forbidden Forest.

The black shadow that attacked Albert at high speed slammed into an invisible magic shield, just like a galloping bull hitting a thick city wall. The result is self-evident.

 The shadow was directly ejected by the force of the earthquake, and fell heavily to the ground, unable to get up again.

"Thunderbolt explosion!" Albert waved his wand and directly hit the attacker with the most lethal magic he currently had. An orange magic focused on the black shadow and shattered it into pieces.

The attacker's body was splashed everywhere in the explosion. Albert had to step back, looked at the spider leg that fell at his feet, and murmured: "Unfortunately, the reaction was a bit excessive."

 The Acromantula's body was almost blown to pieces and had little value.

 Watching a lot of gold coins slipping away from his fingers, Albert was a little helpless at his overreaction just now.

The change in just a moment made Hagrid's emotions go up and down violently like a roller coaster. He was originally angry that something was preparing to sneak attack Albert, but he didn't expect that Albert killed him in the blink of an eye.

"Are you okay?" Hagrid immediately stepped forward to check Albert's condition.

"It's okay." Albert comforted, since I dare to enter the Forbidden Forest with you, I naturally have a way to protect myself.

Hagrid showed an ugly smile and looked up at the black figure that attacked Albert. His expression became more complicated. Although the body was blown apart by the explosion spell, Hagrid was still able to identify the attacker.

 An Acromantula.

After seeing the Acromantula's body, Hagrid's face instantly turned ugly. He had just slapped his chest and assured Albert that he would definitely protect his safety, but...

"It's not your fault." Albert comforted, "I'm going back first."

“No, I’ll take you back.” Hagrid quickly followed. If something like this happened, he wouldn’t dare to let Albert go back by himself.

"Don't worry, we will find Lu Wei." Albert comforted casually. After all, the magic stone's protection will use it.

"However, I still think it's best for you to take the initiative to confess this matter to Professor Dumbledore yourself." Albert said, "The principal will not blame you."

Hagrid fell silent again. He hesitated.

“Think carefully, it’s best to find Lu Wei before he causes trouble for you.”

On the way back to Hogwarts, the two of them encountered no more attacks and returned to Hagrid's hut smoothly. Before Albert and Hagrid separated, they agreed to meet in the afternoon.
