Chapter 75 Spider Swarm Attack

Cyrus pretended to be suspicious and annoyed, and continued:

"So you have never - never attacked anyone?"

"No," the old spider said resentfully, "I have this instinct, but out of respect for Hagrid, I have never hurt anyone. The body of the murdered girl was found in a bathroom. And I have never seen any place in the castle except the cupboard where I grew up. We spiders like darkness and silence..."

"But at that time... do you know what killed the girl?" Harry said, "Because whatever it was, it has come back to attack people now-"

Suddenly, there was a clacking sound, and countless long legs were rustling; huge black shadows swayed around them.

"The guy who lives in the castle," said Aragog, "is an ancient creature that we spiders fear the most. I remember clearly that when I felt that the beast was moving around in the school, I begged Hagrid to let me go."

"What is it?" Harry asked eagerly, the truth was in front of him.

The clicking sound became louder, and the rustling sound became more frequent. The spiders seemed to be closing in. They became very frightened and impatient.

"We won't tell!" Aragog said vehemently, "We won't tell its name! I didn't even tell Hagrid the name of that terrible creature, even though he asked me many times."

Harry didn't want to press the topic any further, especially when the spiders were gathering from all directions. Ron seemed to be about to faint. His face was whiter than the wall paint. He pinched Harry hard, revealing a face of fear and begging.

Aragog didn't seem to want to talk anymore. It slowly retreated into its hemispherical spider web.

"It seems that we can't get anything out of it, but at least we got some information." Cyrus said, staring at the spiders.

The spiders seemed to be unable to restrain themselves, and slowly moved towards them inch by inch.

"Then let's go." Harry also realized that something was wrong, and shouted to Aragog desperately, and heard the leaves rustling behind it.

Ron seemed to have heard salvation.

"Go?" Cyrus said slowly, "I don't think it will let us leave like this..."

"You're right, I don't think you should leave--" Aragog's white eyes were still moving, it couldn't see anything, but it could still sense. As it grows older, its control over the spider group is no longer as good as before.

One Hagrid is fine, but if it blindly prevents the spider group from eating these humans who fall into its trap, it is very likely that the spider group will resist it.

"But - but -"

"My children obeyed my orders and didn't hurt Hagrid. But fresh human flesh came to my door, and I can't stop them from enjoying it. Goodbye, Hagrid's friend..."

Cyrus turned around, and a few steps away, high above him, spiders formed a solid, towering copper wall, with large claws clicking, and many eyes shining on those ugly black heads...

Harry felt like he was drowning in the sea at this moment, and countless spiders made him feel suffocated. Not to mention Ron, he seemed to be stupid and motionless, but even if he was fine, he probably couldn't help, and the wand couldn't do anything.

Harry wanted to draw out his wand and fight these spiders to the death, but was held down by Cyrus.

"Let me do it, you find a chance to take Ron away."

"But..."

Leave "Mr. Riddle" here alone?

Harry looked at the endless spiders and immediately shook his head: "We can't leave you behind!"

Even Ron, who was so scared that he had no strength at all, nodded. He was more worried about his sister. If Cyrus died here, what would happen to Ginny? He was using Ginny's body.

"Don't worry, the eight-eyed giant spider can't kill me yet. You find a chance to leave first, and I don't have to worry about you when I escape." Cyrus now wanted to get Harry and Ron away, otherwise how could he perform a ritual that looked a bit evil?

The eight-eyed giant spider wanted to eat them, so why didn't he want to use the life of the eight-eyed giant spider in exchange for his own rebirth?

"But?"

"Are you worried that I'm not their opponent?" Cyrus easily knocked away a spider as big as a car. Seeing Harry nodded, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I was caught by them on purpose at the beginning, otherwise how could I find their nest?"

Harry and Ron were still a little hesitant.

"Okay, believe me! Ginny is also my friend. I would rather you two die than let her get hurt!"

"Okay!"

Although Harry agreed, he actually didn't know how to leave here. There were too many of them. Even if Cyrus kept knocking the approaching spiders away, they still surrounded them tightly.

At this moment, a high-pitched and long voice suddenly sounded, and a dazzling light illuminated the entire depression.

Mr. Weasley's car rumbled down the slope, with the headlights shining and the horn screaming, knocking the spiders aside; several spiders were knocked on their backs, and countless long legs danced in the air. With a piercing sound, the car stopped in front of Harry and Ron, and the door suddenly opened.

"Get in!" Cyrus cleared the spiders around the car and pushed them into the car.

Harry and Ron struggled to adjust their positions.

"Take the dog!" Cyrus shouted, grabbing the wilted hound by the waist and throwing it into the back seat. The car door slammed shut.

Ron didn't touch the accelerator, but the car didn't need him to do anything; the engine roared and they set off.

But the spiders couldn't just watch the food in their mouths escape, they blocked the road, many of the eight-eyed giant spiders looked bigger than the car, like a hairy hill blocking the way.

Harry and Ron in the car were pale, not knowing what to do.

At this time, a fierce red light suddenly lit up outside the glass, and then there was a loud bang, the huge spider in front of them was blown into pieces, and the whole road was cleared.

Harry and Ron in the car turned around and saw Cyrus standing in the spider swarm with his wand pointing at the exit. It was only now that they realized how powerful this "Mr. Riddle" who had once shown his skills was.

Without any obstacles, the car quickly drove up the slope and left the depression.
