Chapter 204 The Flood of 8-Eyed Spiders
Chapter 204 The flood of eight-eyed spiders
George still remembered the description of the eight-eyed spider in Fantastic Creatures, and they were also at the top of the Ministry of Magic's list of dangerous creatures. But unlike the strong individual of the basilisk, the terrible thing about the eight-eyed giant spider lies in its strong reproductive power.
They can lay a hundred eggs at a time and only take six to eight weeks to hatch. If provided with enough meat, it is enough for them to overrun like rats and locusts.
And their destructive power is much greater than that of mice and locusts. They are carnivores and fierce predators. The nature of magical creatures makes them inherently superior to ordinary beasts. Whether it is a large beast or a human being, they are all within their predation range.
"Hagrid is really an idiot. He let the eight-eyed giant spiders flood the Forbidden Forest to this extent. Does he want to destroy the entire Forbidden Forest?" George couldn't help cursing with a look of contempt. It is learned that the eight-eyed giant spider is Hagrid's pet.
According to the express regulations of the Ministry of Magic, the eight-eyed giant spider eggs are classified as Grade A non-trade goods, and whether they are imported or sold, or even just possessing the eight-eyed giant spider eggs, they will be severely punished. And there are so many eight-eyed giant spiders in front of him, enough for Hagrid to stay in Azkaban for a lifetime.
"The superior environment of the Forbidden Forest made them lose their vigilance, and they dared to attack the wizard. They really don't know whether to live or die." George was thinking about the value of the eight-eyed giant spider as he walked.
"Forget it, just treat me as a favor to Hagrid. The spider silk and venom glands of the eight-eyed giant spider are still good materials. After all, no other idiot would raise such a large group of eight-eyed giant spiders."
After all, Hogwarts is George's territory. If it is divided, the Forbidden Forest naturally belongs to his territory. In fact, the entire magic world is now included in George's power planning.
If he just entered school, he still only wanted to be strong, to be able to escape the turmoil and killings caused by Voldemort, and then to start his life as a local tyrant safely. Then as the power grows little by little, George's vision and ideas also grow little by little.
Just like a fresh graduate, when you can't find a job for a long time, the anxiety and panic at this time will be unimaginable. As long as there is a job that fills their stomachs, they will try it.
But once you can really fill your stomach, people's desires and pursuits begin to grow immediately. At this time, it is difficult to satisfy a person with just a low income.
The greater the human ability, the greater the desire, the money will never be enough to spend, and the desire will always increase. A person with a monthly income of 2,000 yuan can live quietly, and a person with a monthly income of 20,000 yuan will feel that the money is not enough to spend.
Just like Voldemort has become the most powerful dark wizard in the wizarding world, can't he live in peace? He could have more influence than Dumbledore if he wanted to, without provoking resistance from the wizarding world.
But it is clear that Voldemort did not choose this way. When desire increases faster than strength, ambition will burn people and rush towards shortcuts.
Voldemort wanted more than he could, more than he could give and create. So, if you want more, but don't want to exchange, what's good?
At this time, the most fundamental and primitive rules begin to play out. The rules of the world are always based on the rules of power. With the evolution of society, the rules of power have been limited, and they have been covered with the cloak of civilization.
Civilization may appear tender, but the essence of the rules of power is that the winner always decides everything, and the winner defines right and wrong. In the face of the rules of power, all the rules can only give in.
Justice requires high-strength martial arts, and civilization requires the protection of strength. Without power, any rules are vulnerable. And he who has power can enforce his own rules of interpretation. The strong of civilization creates civilization, and the strong of barbarism defines barbarism. Those who lose their power are hidden in the world.
Voldemort almost ruled the entire wizarding world, not because of his advanced principles and ideas,
Simply that he represents and possesses power. After Voldemort disappeared, his reasoning and ideas immediately disappeared in the wizarding world. It was not the choice of justice and the people, but only because he lost his power.
The greater the power, the greater the desire, the unrestricted desire, either destroys the world, or is destroyed by the world.
"Ranger, do me a favor." George beckoned to the car, motioning for it to come over.
The car ran over happily, and the juice of an eight-eyed giant spider on the ground splashed, and the clean body became dirty again.
"Well, it's a forbidden forest after all, you can't expect too much." George said helplessly, he used his wand to clean up the stains on the car, and then he flicked his wand and pulled out a long silk from the spider's silk gland.
Spiders have special silk glands in their stomachs, which contain glue-packed silk pulp, which turns into spider silk when it encounters air. The hardness of the spider silk is at least 5 times higher than that of steel bars of the same grade, not to mention that the spider silk is soft enough to be used in many places, and combined with the skin of the basilisk, it is enough to make the top robe.
George first hung all four spiders on the rear bumper of the car with spider silk, and then bent over to take out the venom and silk glands from the other spiders. As for the other parts of the eight-eyed giant spider, it is really worthless compared to the basilisk.
"Okay, Ranger, now we're going to fight the evil. The ferocious eight-eyed spiders have threatened the safety of the Forbidden Forest. You have been given the task of destroying the spiders. After completing the task, you will gain the friendship of the Forbidden Forest. And harvest a lot of spider silk."
George said in a relaxed and relaxed tone, and he didn't care whether the car could understand it or not, so he greeted the car and headed for the lair of the eight-eyed giant spider.
The car blinked ignorantly, dragged the wreckage of four spiders, and slowly followed behind George, like a faithful companion.
George carefully followed the spider's trail with the eagle eye technique. Obviously, the eight-eyed giant spider has been flooding the forbidden forest for a long time, and it has become a public nuisance.
Since they can be bold enough to attack wizards, they naturally don't have the habit of hiding themselves. Walking along the footprints and traces all the way, it didn't take much effort for George to follow these clues to a wide depression.
Even if he was well prepared, he was startled by the sight in front of him. The whole wide depression became a spider's nest, a sea of spiders. The trees inside were all cleared away, leaving only the ground covered with fallen leaves and densely packed with spiders crawling everywhere.
