"I'm sorry, John. The time is too short. We have only explored all the Acromantula nests in the outer layer of the Forbidden Forest. As for the deep layers of the Forbidden Forest, we still have a large area that we have not been able to explore."
In the Forbidden Forest, the centaur Bain was speaking apologetically to John.
Compared to a few days ago, the centaur Bain looks a little embarrassed now.
The black hair that he was so proud of was extremely messy at the moment, and there were many wounds on his body, and even his mental state was a little depressed.
Seeing this, John felt a little emotional and thanked him sincerely:
"Bain, don't say that, you are already outstanding, thank you."
"We are the ones who should say thank you." Bain said, "The Acromantula is the enemy of this forest."
John nodded and looked at Alice aside.
The eldest lady changed into a dark green slim-fitting dress today. Even the hat and the decorations on it are dark green. She has a standard elegant smile on her face. She looks like she is attending a dance rather than hunting.
.
"Then the next step is up to you."
Hearing what John said, Alice smiled and said:
"It will not let you down."
Under the guidance of the centaur Bane, John and Alice quickly found a crypt outside the Forbidden Forest.
Alice stepped forward and took out the metal suitcase.
John originally thought that this box would be the same as his magic suitcase, a storage item with a traceless expansion spell attached to it.
But when Alice pressed a button on the box, John was surprised to find that the box transformed directly into a shining silver mechanical spider, just like something from a science fiction movie.
"I named her Black Widow."
Alice smiled and introduced, "It has a special magic device installed in its body, which can fascinate Acromantulas regardless of male or female. And after it successfully confuses its prey, it will..."
Alice stretched out her hand and made a swallowing and nibbling motion.
John frowned slightly and said:
"The effect is similar to a love potion?"
"You can understand it this way, but this technology comes from the secret inheritance of my family. It can be used on a wider range of targets and has a stronger effect." Alice paused for a moment, seeming to have thought of something, and her smile became brighter.
"Don't worry, this technique is not effective for an 'Occlumency Master' like you."
John was noncommittal and just pointed towards the crypt.
Alice immediately waved her wand and let the 'Black Widow' enter the crypt.
But after two minutes, accompanied by a rustling sound, two spiders, one big and one small, one black and one silver, crawled out of the hole.
Among them, the living Acromantula walked crookedly, as if it was drunk.
As Alice's wand moved again, the 'Black Widow' pounced forward and used its special alloy mouthparts to dismember the Acromantula bit by bit.
During the whole process, the Acromantula was in a state of confusion, without any will to resist, and just watched as it was dismantled into pieces.
This scene made Bain, the Centaur, feel numb.
He has never seen such a vicious and strange hunting method, it is simply terrifying!
Of course, the woman who created this killing machine must also be an extremely vicious guy.
Thinking this, Centaur Bain subconsciously took two steps back.
John applauded symbolically and stepped forward to collect the venom.
"There are 8 ounces of venom in total," John stood up and said after extracting the venom. "The quality of the Acromantula at the beginning of winter is very high. This is 40 Galleons."
Alice smiled and said:
"Don't forget, there are 20 Galleons of mine in it."
"Of course, we agreed before. The profits from the Acromantulas killed by your alchemy creation will be divided into 50% and 50%. As for the Acromantulas that unexpectedly appear and are killed by my magic, all the profits will belong to me."
John smiled and said, "That's fair. I just hope your 'Black Widow' can be more powerful and not cause problems too early."
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
"This is impossible, my creation is quite perfect."
As Alice spoke, she went to the next cave entrance according to the guidance of the centaur Bane.
But it turned out that she was too early to speak.
Because this time the movement in the crypt was much louder than before.
Immediately afterwards, the silver 'Black Widow' was driven out directly by the Acromantula.
The Acromantula that was woken up was obviously blinded by anger.
It collided with its chelicerae, made a sound of "knock, click, click", and rushed towards Alice.
Alice, who was targeted by it, remained motionless, even maintaining an elegant posture, and even the smile on her face did not change at all.
Because behind her, there was John standing.
"The Divine Edge is Shadowless!"
"laugh--"
The invisible blade tore through the air.
With a small burst of air, the Acromantula was cut in half.
"Wow, there are 9 ounces of venom in this head. This is 45 galleons, and it's all mine." After John collected the venom, he shook the bottle in front of Alice, "It seems like your creations are not good either.
So reliable, it cost you galleons in vain."
After hearing this, the smile on Alice's face finally stopped.
She snorted coldly, and then urged the centaur Bain to take her to the next location.
John followed suit with a smile.
Throughout the next day, John and Alice began to hunt competitively the Acromantulas in the outer reaches of the Forbidden Forest.
It is worth mentioning that after staying in Slytherin for so many days, Alice seemed to have learned about the yin and yang.
Whenever the 'Black Widow' succeeds in hunting alone, she will find ways to mock John for getting something for nothing.
It's a pity that compared to John, who has a personal biography from Snape, her eccentricity content is still too low.
By the time dusk fell and they ended their hunt, Alice had been sprayed by John to the point of being autistic. Her whole body was no longer as elegant and noble as she had been at the beginning, but instead looked as gloomy as the evil witch in various Muggle legends.
"A total of about 23 pints of Acromantula venom were harvested today, which is 2,300 Galleons. According to the previous distribution announcement, 1,600 Galleons are mine, and you only have 700 Galleons."
John smacked his lips and said, "Tsk, tsk, tsk - this is really a lot of money. Alice, you made a lot of money today."
Alice pursed her lips and turned her head.
Seeing this, John smiled and said:
"Oops! Are you going to take action on these venoms yourself, or will you entrust me to take action and split the money with you directly?"
It was a matter of interests, so Alice had to grit her teeth and turn around and said:
"Did you ask that on purpose? You clearly know that I can't have channels in China!"
"Then leave it to me, don't worry."
As John spoke, he put a dozen venoms into the magic suitcase.
Alice was even more angry when she saw this scene.
As a student who specializes in alchemy and is very talented in this area, she has already deduced that this suitcase must have a lot of enchantments attached to it just by observing the appearance and the scene in which John uses it.
The interior space of this magic suitcase is bound to be large, and the price is ridiculously high!
"What a rich young man!"
Alice muttered angrily.
John ignored her and expressed his gratitude to Bain, the centaur.
Alice's 'Black Widow' has indeed greatly increased their hunting efficiency, but the information provided by the centaurs is also very important.
The most important thing is that the horse people still provide assistance voluntarily and do not participate in dividends.
Faced with such good helpers, John felt that he had to say more nice things to gain them spiritually.
But what John didn't know was that the centaur Bane was completely confused at this time.
John's strength is really too strong.
Alice’s ‘Black Widow’ effect is also extremely weird.
The combination of these two people is simply a disaster for the Acromantulas.
Today alone, they had wiped out most of the Acromantulas in the outer layer of the Forbidden Forest.
This kind of terrifying efficiency has never been imagined by Bain, the centaur, even in his most outrageous dreams.
Therefore, throughout the second half of the hunt, he almost remained in a state of trance, as if he were in a dream.
It wasn't until John spoke to him again for a while that he woke up, held John's hand and said excitedly:
"My dear friends! I didn't expect you to be so strong! Don't worry, I will seize the time to explore the depths of the Forbidden Forest as soon as possible. Then it will be up to you to kill all the spiders!"
Speaking of the latter part, Centaur Bain was so excited that his eyes turned red.
This made John a little embarrassed.
The two chatted for a while, and then John and Alice returned to the Slytherin common room under the watch of the centaur Bane.
