"Don't be sorry, you still have to learn. I came here today just to make a hot pot base first. It will save you trouble after you taste it. Otherwise, I will run to the Forbidden Forest every time~"
"hot pot?"
"You will know about it in the future. It doesn't require any skills and it's not complicated. You can eat it directly with the soup base. It's very simple."
"Oh, I heard you say it before and thought it was very complicated."
"Eating is easy. But before that, I have to teach you how to use chopsticks."
"Chopsticks? What are they?"
"I'll tell you when I get back. Ha~ Here is one." Ivey squatted beside a bush under the tree, peeling away the weeds, and a brown vanilla with four leaves appeared in front of him. The four blades of grass were covered with
Black spots.
"It's nettle! It's a rare species, but it has no use in the magical world. It has the same effect as peppercorns and anise."
"..." Betty originally wanted to ask what Zanthoxylum bungeanum and star anise were, but saw that he was picking herbs so she didn't bother.
Collect the herbs and move on.
"Betty, help me pay attention to the surroundings. There are Acromantulas everywhere. Let's be careful." Ivy had to concentrate on finding herbs. The vigilance work would only trouble Betty.
"little things"
Ivey is very confident about Betty's ability. In terms of talent alone, it is no exaggeration to say: unparalleled.
"This is a yellow stem." Ivy took out a shovel and dug into the yellowed grass roots. After two shovels, an orange-yellow stem leaked out.
"It's more effective than ginger and also-" Before he could finish, Betty put her hand on his shoulder.
Ivey looked up and saw huge spider webs connected together, and several black shadows were crawling towards here not far away.
"Let's go!" Ivey made a quick decision
"Light body technique!" Betty added the status, and the two of them immediately felt that their steps were much lighter.
After running for some distance, the pressure did not decrease at all. The sound of the spider's body rubbing against branches and leaves became increasingly clear, and even moving black shadows appeared on the ground in the distance.
"No! These beasts want to drive us into a circle. It would be too dangerous to be surrounded by them." After changing directions several times, Ivy realized the spider's intention.
"Breakthrough?" The two of them had a clear understanding of each other, and Betty understood what he meant in an instant.
"I'll clear the way and leave the pieces to you."
"good!"
"Super-sensory spell!" Betty added the buff again
Ivy, whose facial features were strengthened, took out his wand in his left hand and accumulated mana in his right hand in case of emergency. Listening to the sound, he looked around and chose a direction with the least noise to run.
With the blessing of light body and super-sense spells, the two of them can move as fast as these spiders. As long as they get rid of them, everything will be fine.
But the reality is not that easy. As the overlords of this area, the spiders' hunting abilities are not in vain.
Just as they climbed over a slope, they were faced with a swarm of spiders that came to attack them. There were more than twenty spiders of different sizes. The big body was as big as a millstone, and the small one was as big as a washbasin. Seeing the two of them, the eight-legged spiders sped up.
He picked up the frequency and rushed over quickly.
Ivy gathered magic power in his hands and rushed forward, followed closely by Betty.
"Betty!" Ivy called
Betty took out her wand
"Breeze!" The gentle spring breeze blows in the direction of the spiders.
Ivey then raised his hand and waved, and the magic power accumulated in a ball flew out. After contacting Betty's magic spell, a vortex was formed, and the violent airflow around him merged into the "breeze" as if it had found a vent.
"Breeze" is like a fully combusted overclocked engine exploding, its volume expands rapidly, and it roars. The hurricane formed directly sweeps across the surface in front, branches and leaves fly, and the oncoming spiders are directly knocked away.
Taking advantage of the scattering of the spider swarm, the two quickly moved forward, and three spiders that had been lucky enough to escape quickly surrounded them.
"Two in front and one behind!" The spider's trajectory was captured by Ivey
The three spiders arrived in front of them at the same time. They raised their front bodies and jumped up. The entire body was vertical to the ground, and the eight spider legs spread out forcefully, revealing huge venomous pincers and an abdomen full of downy hair.
"Leave it to me later!" Betty waved her wand, and a magic star bomb flew out, piercing the spider's abdomen, blowing off its left front leg, and shooting it down at the same time.
Ahead, Ivey's five fingers were spread out, and the two spiders in the air were suspended in the air as if they were immobilized. As the five fingers gradually closed, the spiders exploded as if they were squeezed by something.
This is the use of magic power combined with spiritual power
Just as they were finished and were about to continue escaping, the pursuers arrived. On the cobwebs in the middle of the forest, more than a dozen spiders hung upside down and sprayed cobwebs at them. Spider silk as thick as a hemp rope poured out from the abdomen, densely packed with spider webs.
Weaving a giant spider web to cover the two of them.
Ivey raised his wand, and invisible magic power surged from the tip of the wand, forming a protective shield to protect the two of them.
"This is not the way to go." Ivy looked around. Except for the top of his head, there were no other spiders for the time being. Although their lives were not in danger now, they were unable to move because they were covered by spider webs.
"Betty, can you break it?"
"No, the resilience is too good."
"Then it looks like we have to fight hard! Betty, give me some buffs."
"Aura!" "Magic Essence!"——
The left hand maintained the protective shield, and the right hand was flat on the chest, and the magic power surged in the palm. After waiting for a full minute, the sound of crawling was heard again in the distance.
"alright!"
At this moment, Ivy was surrounded by a layer of violent airflow, and the churning energy set off ripples in the air. Betty could no longer get close to him.
He directly removed the wand, knelt down on one knee, slapped his right hand on the ground, and invisible ripples spread out around him.
In an instant, the ground trembled like an earthquake. Within a radius of three meters, countless surging air currents rose from the ground. Fallen leaves, branches, spider webs, spiders, everything on the ground seemed to be erupting like lava.
, was blown into the sky. The spider web that trapped Ivey and the others was also blown away.
"Are you okay?" Betty helped him up
"It's okay." Ivey's condition is not very good, and his physical strength, magic power, and mental strength are all exhausted. Fortunately, the effect of "Aura" continues to work, and he can slowly recover.
"Let's go. The movement just now will probably shock us for a while. We've almost collected the medicine, let's leave as soon as possible."
"Um"
Ivey took out the yellow stalk from his bag and weighed it in his hand. "This stuff is not only good for cooking, it also has the effect of repelling mosquitoes. Each person should take a little and apply it on the uppers of their shoes."
The two of them finished cleaning up and left with help. However, Ivey didn't see it. There were some centaurs in the distance watching them the whole time.
————
The next day, breakfast time
"Ah-oh~" Ivy yawned long
"Ivy, what's wrong with you? You're listless," asked Hannah, who was sitting opposite. There weren't many new students in Hufflepuff, and they were all familiar with each other.
"Hey~ you won't be hollowed out, right?" Cedric teased, his eyes still flickering between Ivy and Betty.
Ivy had no time to pay attention to him, while Betty grabbed a table knife and looked at him expressionlessly.
"Uh-sorry" Cedric was still very smart and apologized immediately.
Until the end of breakfast, Ivey had a lazy expression. Of course, he always had this expression.
"Are you really okay?" Betty was still a little worried.
Ivey held her waist and walked out
"It's just excessive mental exertion, it's not a big problem."
"That's good. How is the food prepared?"
"We haven't started yet, let's wait until we get home for Christmas. Some of the ingredients are not available here, and you and Irene don't know how to use chopsticks, so it will be inconvenient to eat."
"Ivy!" Harry and Ron suddenly caught up with them, and Harry was holding a long package in his hand.
"You must have no idea what we encountered yesterday!" Ron was very excited.
Hermione happened to be passing by at this time, and she glanced at the two of them.
"snort!"
"What's wrong with you?" Ivey felt his head started to hurt again.
"Leave her alone! I've never seen such a nosy person!" Ron's expression looked incredible.
Arriving in the courtyard, the four people sat around on a bench. After Ron and Harry took turns bombing, Ivy finally figured out what was going on.
"So, you think that what the dog was guarding was what Hagrid took out of the vault." Ivey concluded.
"It's the three-headed hellhound! Ivy," Harry emphasized.
"Okay, hellhound. But Harry, what are you holding?"
"Nimbus 2000! The latest model of flying broom." Ron said enviously.
"Professor McGonagall gave it to me. She asked me to go to Wood for training this afternoon." Harry hugged the broom tightly, and it could be seen that he was very happy.
