John frowned and looked around.

There are a lot of spider silk around him now.

It's not surprising that there are spider silks in the burrows. Many spiders choose to find nests to hibernate and give birth to. Usually such nests are covered with a layer of spider silk.

But the problem is that the cave where John is now has several cubic meters of space, and there is a bottomless tunnel inside, and everything he can see is covered with a thick layer of spider webs.

.

If this is also a nest where spiders hibernate and give birth, then how big should the spiders living here be?

Just as John was thinking this, his thoughts were interrupted by Draco's scream.

This shocked John, and he subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound.

Draco wasn't actually hurt at all.

At least that's the case for now.

He fell into the crypt like John, and even because of the layer of spider silk on the ground, he didn't even get a scratch.

However, he obviously didn't like the sticky feeling of spider silk.

This made him feel scared, and the fear made him instinctively struggle and scream. The more he struggled, the more spider silk became tangled on his body, and the increased stickiness intensified his fear...

So to John, Draco looked like a fool drowning in a shallow water area of ​​1 meter.

To be honest, this scene is a bit funny.

But John really couldn't laugh.

Because in the shadow not far away from Draco, a black spider the size of an adult horse was curled up into a ball, hibernating.

Its side is covered with strands of spider silk, which are directly connected to the silk threads in the surrounding crypts.

The vibrations generated by Draco's every struggle were transmitted to the giant spider through these silk threads, causing the hairs on its legs to tremble slightly.

John pulled out his wand and subconsciously felt like giving Draco a shot to turn everything to stone.

Unfortunately it's too late.

With Draco struggling violently again, a bundle of intertwined spider threads suddenly spread apart.

One of the small bundles of elastic spider silk was like a rubber band on a slingshot, and it hit the giant black spider's forehead hard.

"Snapped--"

The crisp sound echoed in the cave.

The giant black spider was whipped so hard that its whole body trembled.

Then, under John's horrified gaze, the curled-up spider ball slowly unfolded.

It was a spider monster that was fifteen feet wide, with its whole body covered in thick black hair, and its eight black eyes flashing with fierce light.

With just one glance, John recognized the other person's identity.

Acromantula!

Ministry of Magic classification level: XXXXX (animal known to have killed wizards)!

At this time, Draco finally discovered the danger close at hand.

At this moment, he was like a facial performer, every muscle on his face was tensed up, and his expression was exaggerated to the extreme.

Finally, the energy accumulation was finally completed, and an earth-shattering scream sounded from his throat.

"Ah! John save me!!!"

"Split into pieces!"

"laugh--"

A cutting spell capable of cutting through iron and stone whizzed by, instantly cutting off the spider silk on Draco's body, and causing Draco's scream to suddenly rise several pitches higher.

At this time, the Acromantula, which had just woken up from hibernation, finally moved its body.

It shook its giant claws excitedly, making a clearly audible clicking sound, and then rushed towards Draco.

At the critical moment, another cutting curse was shot by John.

In the flash of white light, the Acromantula was pushed back, and the pair of giant claws smashed against the rock wall, directly crushing a large piece of rock.

John's expression became more and more solemn.

His current cutting spell doesn't mean cutting iron like clay, but it can break iron and break stone easily.

However, the sharp cutting spell hit the Acromantula, but it only knocked it back and failed to penetrate the opponent's carapace.

You know, the Acromantula has no resistance to magic. Its carapace is simply hard.

And the Acromantula is not only poisonous, but also has terrifying physical strength.

Just looking at the force with which it can crush rocks, it would basically kill you if you were touched by it.

Taking a deep breath, John waved his hand to Draco and said:

"Draco, run away."

As soon as he said this, Draco instinctively wanted to crawl out of the cave.

But at the next moment, he stopped and his expression became struggling.

Protecting oneself prudently is the ancestral motto of the Malfoy family, and it is also the belief that Draco has always adhered to.

But John chose to stay alone and face the spider monster in order to save Draco!

And John just said thank you to him not long ago!

Thinking back to the hand that John stretched out to him earlier, Draco's faith wavered for the first time.

'John is very strong! He can definitely defeat that spider monster! He can definitely do it! So...so if I go back to help him now, it is equivalent to showing favor to him, and he will become my subordinate when the time comes!

Isn't this how you become the savior by showing kindness to others? I can definitely do it too!'

Draco kept comforting himself in his mind.

Then he turned around suddenly and said with a trembling voice:

"I...we are in the same group, our own people...how can our own people escape! So John! I'm here to help you!"

Hearing this, John rolled his eyes.

He felt that Draco was really hopeless.

Retreat when you should be brave, be brave when you should retreat.

'Can't this guy see that I let him escape because I dislike him and hold him back?'

John was complaining in his mind, but he didn't say anything.

After all, Draco's spirit is respectable.

At the same time, the Acromantula had regrouped and roared at him again.

The pair of giant claws broke through the air, carrying a terrifying sound of breaking wind, and stabbed towards John fiercely.

Blue light surged in John's eyes, and with the surge of magic power, he slammed his right foot on the ground and moved his whole body to the right, narrowly avoiding the blow.

The Acromantula pulled out its giant claws that pierced the rock wall and launched another pursuit.

One person and one spider kept moving around in the cave.

The speed of the Acromantula was getting faster and faster, and its giant claws kept falling like raindrops, almost forcing John into a desperate situation.

Seeing this scene, Draco's eyes were about to burst. He kept waving the wand in his hand and shooting out various spells.

However this is of no use.

His magic power is too weak, the spells he controls are not powerful enough, and most importantly, his shooting accuracy is simply not good enough.

Facing the fast-moving Acromantula, almost all of his attacks failed.

In fact, he couldn't even attract the attention of some Acromantulas.

This made him despair.

At this moment, a broad palm gently patted Draco's head, and then a soft voice sounded:

"Young man, it's okay now. Because I'm here to save you!"

Draco looked up in surprise and saw a centaur smiling condescendingly at him.

Different from those wild horsemen before.

This centaur looks handsome, with surprisingly blue eyes and sparkling platinum hair. Its lower body is made of silver and its tail is silver. The whole thing gives people a holy and powerful feeling.

"Um...are you serious?"

Draco murmured.

Upon hearing this, the horseman smiled confidently and said:

"The Acromantula is indeed an invincible monster to you, but it is different for me. You know, my tribe and I have been fighting the Acromantula for decades. This kind of lone creature

Individually, it's easy to solve. At least...that's the case for me."

As he spoke, the centaur drew his bow and nocked an arrow, aiming with a relaxed expression at the Acromantula that was fighting with John.

However, the next moment, the confident expression on the horse man's face suddenly froze.

Because the situation off the court has reversed.

I saw John's sudden blow [Release of Strength] to widen the distance between him and the Acromantula.

Then he waved the wand in his hand repeatedly.

Every time it waved, one of the Acromantula's long legs would be pulled upward by the twisting joint. After reaching a certain range, it would break with a 'click' sound.

As the "click" sound continued, all eight long legs of the Acromantula were quickly broken off, leaving only a torso twisting and twisting on the ground.

When John saw this, he also put down his wand, slowly turned back to look at the horseman and said:
Chapter completed!
