Chapter 306 Spider Eggs and Female Spiders
Ai Wen blinked, and in order to see clearly, he took two steps forward.
In the warm water in the center of the cave, there are thousands of spherical objects floating. They are as big as water balloons, very soft, and float slowly with the direction of the water flow.
At the very edge of the end of the pool is a large spherical spider web.
It acts as a filter, allowing the spring water to flow out, but these white water balloons are kept in.
The setting that leads the hot springs into the pool is very delicate. If Aiwen were to design it, I am afraid it would not be able to do better. No wonder it is said that the intelligence of the acromantula is close to that of humans.
Wait a minute, why are there water balloons in Aragog's lair? !
A trace of doubt flashed in Ivan's mind, the picture in front of him was too suspicious.
He moved the magic wand in his hand forward to increase the output of magic power. The originally weak fluorescence at the end of the wand became brighter and brighter, and the incandescent light completely dispelled the surrounding darkness.
This time, he saw clearly.
The white spherical objects floating in this pool are not water balloons at all, they are all the eggs of acromantulas. Under the strong light, it can be clearly seen that there are looming spider larvae inside the soft and thin walls of the spider eggs.
Some are chaotic, and some are fully formed.
The formed spider larvae are covered with thick black hairs, and they occasionally move inside, as if they could burst out of the chrysalis at any time, looking very frightening.
Ai Wen took a breath, raised his head and looked towards the edge of the pool, and all he could see were spider eggs, densely packed together, and many of them were pressed under the water. The number of spider eggs in front of him was completely beyond imagination. If they were all hatched, the entire Forbidden Forest might become dominated by acromantulas.
Even if the giant acromantid's individual combat effectiveness is not the strongest, with their terrifying numbers, these dark creatures will be unmatched in the Forbidden Forest.
Ivan tried hard to recall the description he had read in the book "Where Are the Fantastic Beasts" about the eggs of the acromantula: as we all know, the acromantula is a carnivore and likes large prey. They weave domed webs on the ground, and females are much larger than males, laying up to a hundred eggs at a time.
The eggs are white and usually take six to eight weeks to hatch. Acromantula eggs are clearly classified as Class A non-trade commodities by the Department of Management and Control of Mythical Creatures, and they must be destroyed as soon as possible after seeing them. Importing or selling spider eggs will be severely punished.
Although there are express regulations, the sale of Acromantus eggs is not allowed. But in Knockturn Alley, which is dark and full of dragons and snakes, this is the most popular commodity among dark wizards. Because it is rare and rare, the price is very high, and it can often be sold for sky-high prices.
Aiwen habitually converted the spider eggs in front of him into Galleons, and concluded that this was an astronomical sum. If he took these eggs outside...
Of course, he just thought about it.
Don't talk about selling it, the pool and the spider eggs inside must be destroyed. Just as he was thinking about what kind of magic to use, the ground suddenly shook.
Boom, boom loud sound, from far to near.
Ivan froze for a moment, and soon realized that since there were spider eggs here, the female spiders must also be nearby, and female acromantulas are usually much larger than males. Aragog, who is as small as a small elephant, is already beyond imagination, the largest spider he has ever seen. If his mate is bigger than his size, wouldn't it be...
Looking at a pool full of white spider eggs, Ivan clenched his wand subconsciously.
A normal acromantula wouldn't lay so many eggs. They could lay no more than a hundred eggs at a time, but there were nearly ten thousand eggs in this pool. If this was born of Aragog's consort, it means that it also mutated like Aragog.
It must be the ghost of the guy hiding in the dark, the mutation happened recently. Aragog was already very old. He had lived in the Forbidden Forest for so many years. If he really had such a large number of descendants, he might have swallowed the entire Forbidden Forest long ago.
The invasion of the ancient, evil dark force has turned the acromantulas in the Forbidden Forest into another more bloodthirsty and terrifying monster.
If it is restored to power, the consequences will be disastrous.
Boom, boom, boom...
Ai Wen took a step back, his eyes fixed on the source of the sound.
Just as he was getting ready, a gigantic female spider nearly the size of three Aragogs crawled out of the shadows behind the pool.
Every time the huge pincers closed, the entire space vibrated accordingly.
Click, click, click...
The most astonishing thing is its appearance. Its bulging belly is very big, disproportionately large. I don’t know what is inside, and it seems to be very heavy. Even the rocks on the ground have not been ground into powder. . Eight furry spider legs, each as thick as Ivan's thigh.
Compared with its huge body, its head seemed too small. On it were sixteen pairs of black eyes like black jewels, constantly flashing malicious light.
At the front of the head, the giant claws unique to the giant acromantia also looked different. There was a green cold light shining on the sharp claws, which were completely soaked in venom.
"Click, click, human!" The female spider's voice shook Ivan's ears.
"Where is Aragog, I want to meet it." Ivan shouted, he clenched his wand and kept backing away.
Considering the opponent's size, he was not completely sure that he could defeat it.
"You want to see Aragog?!" The female spider looked at Ivan, as if thinking about it, and said slowly, "The intruder must die, but I will be extra merciful and satisfy your last wish." Wish, bring your corpse to meet it."
It just finished speaking, and its whole body quickly rushed forward to Ivan.
It was as if a hill was rolling over, and Aiwen could see the hideous expression of the other party. He swished out a few spells and backed up as fast as he could.
He was almost touched by the giant claw of the female spider.
boom! ! ! There was a violent impact, and a big crater appeared in the position where Aiwen had just stood. If it was a second at night, he might really be smashed to pieces.
Just like that night a few months ago, Ivan's shrinking spell had no effect on Aragog at all, all the spells he had just been bounced off by the opponent.
Ivan noticed that this huge female spider was covered with blue-black armor scales, and its spell was blocked by these armors, and it didn't hurt it at all.
An octopus with armor immune to spells, is this still an octopus? ! (To be continued.)
