Chapter 279 8-Eyed Giant Spider Encirclement and Suppression Plan
Five people stopped in front of a huge tree stump covered with green moss.
"Now that you have made a decision, listen to my thoughts." Sirius said with a smile, "Actually, I think this is a good opportunity to exercise."
"Opportunity to exercise?!"
Everyone looked at Sirius curiously, not knowing what he meant. How could fighting a dangerous acromantula be a training opportunity? !
"Like most of the young wizards in the school, the four of you have too little combat experience." Sirius explained, "You may not be able to see anything now, but in the real battle with the dark wizard, this is an extremely fatal weakness , must be resolved as soon as possible.”
Hearing what Sirius said, Harry and Ron were somewhat disapproving.
They've seen dark wizards like Quirrell and Peter Pettigrew before, and they're all undeniably evil, but not invincible.
Only Aiwen knows that Sirius is definitely not scaremongering, he knows the strength and methods of real Death Eaters.
Death Eaters like Barty Crouch Jr. and Bellatrix Lestrange are much more difficult to deal with than Peter Pettigrew.
In the face of the Killing Curse, a little negligence can be fatal.
"Sirius, you said this before, that's why you reorganized the Dueling Club." Hermione said suspiciously, "The last gathering was very successful, we all learned a lot of fighting skills and spells, and practiced dueling ..."
"That's true, but the simulated duel between little wizards has limited effect." Sirius waved his hand impatiently, and continued, "Although you all work hard, that kind of child's play duel not only gives you a chance Apart from practicing spells, it doesn't help much in improving combat strength."
"What are we going to do, Sirius?" Harry asked curiously.
"For a qualified wizard, he can grow up only after experiencing the baptism of real battles." Sirius said with a smile, "So, you need real battles, and you need a sufficiently strong opponent!"
"A real battle, a strong enough opponent?!"
"That's right, you can grow up quickly only after experiencing these things." Sirius paused, "I have to say, except for Aiwen, the three of you are still far behind. You know, when I was in your At this age, you can already face the centaur head-on."
Under Harry's questioning, Sirius told everyone about his past.
When he was a third-grade student, during an adventure in the Forbidden Forest, he met Margery, a centaur who had just grown up, and the other party wanted to drive them out of the Forbidden Forest.
Because of this incident, Sirius fought with him and won.
This is also the main reason why Margaret has been obsessed with it and has a bad attitude.
Although Harry has also defeated Voldemort, Basilisk and Dementors in the past three years, most of them rely on luck and other outside help.
In terms of real strength, he was much worse than Sirius at that time.
Compared with Harry, Ron and Hermione's fighting strength is worse.
Of course, Ron needless to say, like most junior wizards, he didn't even master many common spells.
As for Hermione, apart from Divination, Defense Against the Dark Arts was the only subject she was not good at, and she was not good at dealing with things related to combat. But she is much calmer than Harry and Ron, and she also knows a lot of unpopular magic knowledge and spells, which can play unexpected roles at critical moments.
Unlike the three of them, Aiwen's own magical strength is already very strong, far surpassing young wizards of the same age, and even not much worse than adult wizards.
If you don't consider the limitation of mana, and use the recently researched black magic, he can even fight with Sirius and Snape now.
But as Sirius said, Ivan lacks actual combat experience.
If he doesn't use powerful magic that far surpasses his opponent's strength to suppress him, he still can't combine the actual situation and perfectly display his full strength.
He needs more battles and stronger enemies to accumulate experience and improve skills to make up for this weakness.
From this point of view, the giant eight-eyed spider is indeed a good opponent.
"For young wizards of your age, it is still relatively reluctant to challenge the giant spider. I originally had a plan to let you try the less dangerous dark creatures first." Sirius said, "But Considering the requirements of the centaur, we have to speed up the progress. Moreover, Aiwen's analysis just now reminded me that the weakness of the acromantula is very obvious, as long as you are careful, you can avoid accidents."
"What are you going to do, Sirius?" Ivan asked curiously.
"Considering the number of those monsters, we can first try to attack the lone acromantula on the outside of the Forbidden Forest and accumulate experience first." Sirius explained, "Besides, I plan to go to the Dueling Club By proposing this matter, other students can also voluntarily sign up to participate in the challenge against the acromantula."
Next, he explained his plan in detail, including offensive evolution, protective measures, etc., and everyone gradually became excited.
If all the little wizards and professors in the whole school participated in the encirclement and suppression of the Acantaraman, then the safety situation would naturally not need to be considered too much.
As Sirius said, this is a good opportunity to improve one's own strength.
The look on Harry's face was eager to try, and he completely forgot about the danger of the acromantula.
Even Hermione flushed and became excited.
Only Ron, who was extremely afraid of spiders, was still a little worried, and his face was ugly.
For Sirius' plan, Ai Wen very much agrees, this can improve the strength of the little wizards to a higher level, and it will be more secure when fighting Voldemort in the future, but he does not plan to look for the fallen monsters on the periphery with the little wizards. A single acromantula.
If possible, he hopes to go deeper.
About ten minutes later, they finally returned to the path, the surrounding trees were still sparse, and the huge silhouette of Hogwarts Castle could be seen.
"It's midnight now, we'd better hurry," said Sirius.
"I don't know how the party went, is it over?"
Everyone speed up, Sirius didn't leave until after sending them to Gryffindor Tower, Ivan, Harry, Ron, and Hermione climbed into the common room, still discussing in a low voice, discussing with the centaur , Acromantula related matters.
No sooner had they entered than they heard deafening cheers.
The rave party isn't over yet, it's reaching its climax, and thanks to Fred and George for keeping the attention, no one even notices that they're out of the common room for so long. It wasn't until one o'clock in the morning that Professor McGonagall, wearing a plaid dressing gown and a hairnet, came to the scene and insisted that everyone go to bed. At this time, the party in Gryffindor House came to an end.
Ivan and Hermione said good night, and followed Colin up the stairs back to the dormitory.
He felt very tired, pulled up the curtain to block out the moonlight, and fell asleep right away as soon as he lay down on the bed.
In his sleep, he dreamed that he was fighting an acromantula.
He killed Aragog, the king of the acromantia, and stood on top of Aragog's deep, bottomless lair, looking down.
I can't explain why, but there seems to be something in it that is attracting me.
Something is whispering, let Aiwen go down and go deep into this cave... (To be continued.)
