Felix rarely used his broom, but this was the most appropriate method. He was not interested in spending hours exploring the location of the Acromanthus lair.

He took out the glass bottle from his pocket and asked the Acromanthus inside, "Can you determine the direction?"

"You want to go to the spider's lair?" The Acromanthus asked in surprise.

"Yes, to broaden my horizons." Felix's answer was very perfunctory.

The Acromanthus had long recognized the temper of this wizard. If there was no benefit, he would definitely throw it to the edge of the woods and turn around and walk away. Now this attitude can only mean that he intends to do something to the Acromanthus swarm.

Although there are more than three hundred Acromanthus in the lair, it still has no idea, so it simply keeps silent. Felix put it in his pocket, flew in the direction pointed by the centaur for half an hour, and jumped off the broom.

"Next," Felix waved his wand, "I remember stamping three Acromanthus spiders before. Let me see where you are?"

A few weeks ago, Felix went deep into the forbidden forest to practice the scaling spell, but he mistakenly entered the hunting range of the Acromanthus spiders and was attacked by a group of big spiders. As expected, these big spiders were knocked down by him, and he secretly cast tracking magic on several of them...

Felix quickly sensed the direction of the magic mark. He walked along a twisting path. There were more and more broken stones on the ground, and the roots of the trees were intertwined. Some spider webs could be seen sporadically.

"The silk of the Acromanthus spider is non-toxic." Felix picked up the spider silk with his fingertips. The mucus on it had dried up and felt like a flexible rope.

"Maybe it can be added to the binding vines. I don't know what effect it will have." Felix muttered and collected some white spider webs.

Soon, he heard a whistling sound in his ears, and the "click-click" sound became a continuous one. Felix looked back and saw thirty or forty eight-eyed giant spiders as big as a small carriage surrounding him.

A minute later.

Felix took out a goblet from the ring and stuffed more than thirty shrunken eight-eyed giant spiders into it.

After thinking for a while, he took out a glass bottle from his pocket and released the original eight-eyed giant spider "prisoner". After a burst of intense blue light, it finally returned to its original state.

"Here, your companion, hold it steady, don't crush it." Felix put the goblet in the gap between its left claws. The eight black eyes of the eight-eyed giant spider stared at the small spiders huddled in the cup.

"You, you put them..." The eight-eyed giant spider was so excited that it pinched a dent in the goblet. The small spiders inside ran around in panic, but there was a layer of translucent film at the mouth of the cup, and they couldn't escape at all.

"It's too troublesome to explain one by one, so it's better to save some trouble." Felix played with the ebony wand in his hand, "By the way, I haven't asked your name yet. Do you have a name?"

The Acromanthus was stunned for a few seconds, and said in a rough voice: "Gok, my name is Gok."

Felix said, "Gok? I remember the guy that Hagrid first kept in the cupboard, his name was Aragog... Are you related?"

The Acromanthus Gok said reluctantly: "I am his child."

It seems that even magical creatures have family discord. Felix did not ask questions like "Which child are you?" or "How is your relationship with Aragog?"

They went deeper and deeper into the forbidden forest. Even in the daytime, the light was very dim. The beech trees more than ten meters high above their heads were like layers of covers, completely blocking the sunlight outside.

Felix waved his wand, letting a circle of faint blue flames swirl around him, providing him with sufficient lighting. Spiders of different sizes began to appear on the ground covered with fallen leaves. They were densely packed and crawled everywhere between the exposed tree roots and leaf piles.

"I remember there was a very obscure spell, the Spider Repelling Spell?" Most of his consciousness entered the thinking room. After a moment, he shook his hand and waved a red light. The small spiders moved away from him uncontrollably, and even the Acromantula Gok quickly retreated.

Felix scratched his head, "I almost forgot about you, okay." He canceled the spell, cast a levitation spell on himself, and stood lightly on the body of the Acromantula Gok.

"Let's go."

He pulled a hair from the back of the Acromantula, transformed it into a soft cushion, and sat on it.

The Acromantula Gok had objections, but it knew it was useless to mention it. It snorted twice, and the other free claw made a "click-click" sound, as if venting its anger.

They were on their way again. There were fewer and fewer fallen leaves on the ground, and more white spider webs. In the process, many eight-eyed giant spiders discovered them, but they were turned into tiny spiders by Felix's scaling spell and stuffed into the goblet.

They came to the edge of a wide sunken open space. Under the illumination of the blue flame, Felix saw hundreds of huge monsters, the shadows in the distance, each as big as a small carriage. He jumped off Gok.

In the center of the sunken space was a misty, hemispherical spider web. Several eight-eyed giant spiders came forward, and one of them with white hair on his head said, "Gok, you came with wizards, have you betrayed Aragog?"

In the darkness, more "click-click" sounds were heard, which looked eerie and terrifying in the dense forest where no light could be seen.

The giant spider called "Gok" shouted angrily, "I didn't betray Aragog, never!" It raised one of its large pincers and shouted towards the hemispherical spider web in the center of the depression: "Aragog, Aragog!"

From the misty, hemispherical spider web, a spider as big as an African elephant emerged very slowly. Its body and legs were black with gray, and each eye on its ugly head was covered with a layer of white film. It was blind.

"What's going on?" It said, clicking, and its two large pincers moved quickly.

"It's Gok who's back," said the big spider with white hair on its head, "and he brought people with him."

"Who is it, Hagrid?" Aragog moved closer, and his eight milky white eyes looked around blankly.

"No, it's a strange wizard."

"Kill him, I'm sleeping..." Aragog said irritably.

"Oh, I don't think so, I have a hostage in my hand." Felix said lightly.

"Hostages..." Aragog was a little confused. He looked blankly in the direction of Felix, his gray-black claws moving. "Gok, what have you done?" The

eight-eyed giant spider Gok said gruffly, "Old man, are you completely confused? This wizard said he has hostages!" He said angrily, "They are in the goblet, shrunk... They are all our people, hundreds of them!"

Aragog was silent for most of the day, and just when Felix wondered if it had fallen asleep, it finally spoke, and its words were much more cautious: "Which powerful wizard has come to my territory? I, Aragog, am the founder of the Forbidden Forest Acromantula colony, and I have a non-aggression agreement with Hogwarts."

Felix laughed softly: "It's really interesting, I've always wanted to know where the root of Aragog's indifference to human life lies. I think I may have found it."

"You've come to the wrong place, Mr. Wizard, we haven't hurt any little wizard." Aragog said, its gray-black claws tapping the ground, and more and more big spiders appeared and stood behind it.
