They left the Forbidden Forest with no pursuers behind them.

Harry turned to look at Ron. His mouth was still open in a silent scream, but his eyes were no longer bulging.

"Are you okay?"

Ron stared straight ahead, unable to utter a word. After a long while, he opened the car door, crawled into the pumpkin patch, and vomited desperately.

"Follow the spider," said Ron weakly, wiping his mouth on his sleeve. "I'll never forgive Hagrid! We're lucky to be alive!"

"I'll kill him when he comes back from Azkaban!" Ron pulled out the broken wand viciously!

"I bet he thought Aragog wouldn't hurt his friends," said Harry.

"That's the thing about Hagrid!" said Ron, pounding on the wall of the cabin. "He always thought monsters weren't as bad as people made them out to be, and look what happened to him! In a cell in Azkaban!" He began to tremble uncontrollably. "What was the point of sending us there? I wonder what we found out?"

"It's clear that Hagrid never opened the Chamber of Secrets and he's innocent," said Harry.

Ron snorted loudly.

Clearly, in his opinion, the moment he hatched Aragog in the cupboard, Hagrid was no longer innocent.

Harry went to Hagrid's room and got back the Invisibility Cloak and put it on himself and Ron. The two of them sat down next to each other, looking back into the depths of the Forbidden Forest, waiting for Cyrus.

"I think it's a good thing that Mr. Riddle wronged Hagrid fifty years ago!" said Ron, "otherwise Aragog would have stayed in a room in the school forever. You saw it! It doesn't eat people, but what about the other spiders? I bet if Hagrid wasn't paying attention, they would eat up all the students in the school in no time!"

Harry wanted to defend Hagrid, but he couldn't say anything after escaping from the spiders. He was almost killed, and Mr. Riddle was still alive! The two could only sit here and wait, praying that "Mr. Riddle" was safe.

But the wait was too long.

"That monster sounds so similar to Voldemort that the spiders are afraid to speak its name."

Ron shuddered: "Then don't mention it, okay?"

Harry sighed and looked up. The sky was not as dark as before. The clouds seemed to have dispersed completely, and the moonlight shone on the empty pumpkin patch, which looked like it was covered with hoarfrost.

He fell exhausted in the pumpkin patch, and suddenly he saw the sky deep in the forbidden forest light up.

The firelight under the night sky shone into the sky! He stood up suddenly.

"Ron, look over there!" —— "Ultimate Protection."

Cyrus watched the taillights of the car disappear into the darkness. Some of the spiders tried to chase Harry, but he cast a magic barrier in the opposite direction, covering the hollow. The spiders pounced on the invisible magic wall and were immediately burned to ashes by the magic.

So, they could only turn around and set their sights on Cyrus alone.

Large swarms of spiders covered the undulating open space. In front of Cyrus' eyes there might be thousands or tens of thousands of eight-eyed giant spiders. The largest one was bigger than a car, and the smallest one was as big as a hound.

They rushed towards Cyrus like sharks smelling blood. The spiders crowded together, fearing that if they fell behind, they would miss the chance to taste human flesh.

Even Cyrus, who had no fear of spiders, got goose bumps all over his body.

It was like knocking open a wooden cabinet and seeing hundreds of termite larvae squirming together.

Or there might be tens of thousands of snakes entangled together in a cave.

The twisted body kept rising and falling in the gap, which was disgusting.

But Cyrus did not kill them all immediately. He pointed the tip of his wand downward and stabbed it hard at the ground. Instantly, a powerful magic force was released with him as the center. The shock wave blew away all the eight-eyed giant spiders that were about to approach and almost drown him, leaving an empty space.

He slowly took out a crucible, the potion in the crucible was still boiling.

The spiders would not give up! They came one after another, like a swarm of locusts! There were so many of them, and Cyrus was so small that everyone was afraid that if they were a step late, they would have nothing to eat!

The sharp spider legs were like nails on the ground, and the following spiders stepped on the spiders in front of them mercilessly. They piled up higher and higher, almost forming a high wall.

It became a black wave that surged in! Cyrus watched them die coldly, and he lit the fire.

The flames burned, and suddenly exploded like a gushing spring, spreading to every corner.

The eight-eyed giant spiders were caught off guard by the sudden spread of the flames. The blazing fire waves collided with the black spider tide, and the raging fire mercilessly burned their limbs and flesh! They let out horrible howls, but the flames were like poison that could not be escaped once they were infected, and they spread rapidly!

The burning spiders were like monsters in flames, struggling desperately. The spiders in front wanted to escape, but the spider group kept pushing them forward. The burning spiders were like demons in flames, rampaging through the spider group and passing the flames to more spiders.

It took only a moment for the flames to ignite the entire depression.

Isn't this a kind of passing on of the torch? "Wait - Humans -"

Aragog wailed and begged, but Cyrus turned a deaf ear to him.

Not to mention the fact that the eight-eyed giant spider also wanted to kill them, it was enough for Cyrus to kill them.

What's more, the value of life is equal only in alchemy. In a person's eyes, the life of a spider and the life of a human are obviously not the same.

The flames continued to burn, taking away the spiders' flesh and souls. Their bodies turned to ashes in an instant, and only the red liquid flowed towards the sky, gathering into a bloody river above the crucible.

The entire depression seemed to have suddenly turned into a cemetery of the dead and a fountain of life.

The spiders that had not yet died were dodging the flames in fear, but all their escape routes had been blocked by Cyrus with the "ultimate defense". He was the only one who was not contaminated by the flames. In the scorching sea of ​​fire, Cyrus's gaze was colder than the winter.

In an instant, all the eight-eyed giant spiders became sacrifices for him to refine the philosopher's stone.

Life can only be measured by life. Tens of thousands of lives were exchanged. This time, the red liquid left in the crucible became thicker and looked like a large pot of plasma.

Thanks to Erdou Dadios for the 10,000 points reward. Thank you, baby. I will update more chapters for baby later! The additional chapters for baby Mingyue will be added after the release.

Add the five chapters promised on the day of the release, which means a total of 12 chapters to be updated. Oh! It seems that I don’t need to sleep on Friday night. 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
