After walking down the steep slope for about twenty minutes, Elwyn arrived at the edge of a wide depression. The trees in the depression had been cleared, and when he raised his head, he could see the vast starry sky.
The empty space in the center of the depression was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves. Stepping on it felt like walking on a carpet. Elwyn saw Peter and the Eight-Eyed Spider that took him away in the middle of the empty space. In front of them was a huge, misty, hemispherical spider web.
"Elwyn, Elwyn, you're here to save me! I knew you would come! "
Peter cried softly. His entire body was in a terrible state. He lay on the ground and trembled, looking like he had lost all his dignity. He crawled over like a worm, trembling as he said, "I beg you, please don't leave me here alone, don't …"
"Shut up!" Elwyn said furiously.
Peter's incessant crying annoyed him. Peter's current appearance disgusted Elwyn and made him despise him even more.
How pitiful, weak, and foolish. How could such people exist?!
Elwyn did not look at Peter. Instead, he looked at the Eight-Eyed Spider.
It lay on the thick leaves, its eight spider legs swaying slightly. On one side of its body, four eyes were watching him and Peter, while on the other side, four eyes were looking at the ridiculously huge spider web not far away.
Clack clack, clack clack, clack clack clack.
Its pair of pincers moved at a high frequency, making a series of rapid clicking sounds.
Elwyn suddenly realized that the Eight-Eyed Spider was speaking. It was not easy to tell, because it was fiddling with its large pincers with every word it said.
"Aragok!" it shouted. "Aragok!"
Very slowly, from the middle of the misty, hemispherical web emerged a spider the size of a small elephant. Its body and legs were black with a tinge of gray, and every eye on its ugly head with big pincers was covered with a layer of white. It was blind.
Seeing Aragok, Elwyn involuntarily tightened his grip on his wand.
This fellow should be Hagrid's pet, the ancestor of all the eight-eyed spiders in the Forbidden Forest.
The scene in front of him was too horrifying. Although he was mentally prepared, when the giant spider appeared, Elwyn realized that he had underestimated Aragok. Aragok had eight spider legs on both ends of his body, and each of them was thicker than his own body.
Peter, who had been curled up on the ground and shivering, suddenly stopped trembling. His mouth was wide open as if he was letting out a soundless scream. His eyes were bulging outwards.
This was a nightmare, a nightmare that had been magnified countless times.
With the appearance of Aragok, countless eight-eyed spiders came out of nowhere.
Each of them was larger than the three that had attacked Elwyn and Peter. They were packed together, and when they saw the thing in the center of the field, they moved their large pincers excitedly and made disgusting noises.
Peter's scalp went numb. He swore that if he could choose how to die, he would rather be torn apart by Sirius Black or have his soul sucked out by the Dementors than become food for these spiders.
"What's going on?" Aragok said, his two large pincers moving quickly. There was a hint of authority in his voice. "Why did you summon me?"
"Man!" said the spider that had brought Peter Pettigrew there.
"Is it Hagrid?" Aragok moved closer to Elwyn and Peter, its eight milky white eyes looking around blankly.
"No, it's a stranger."
"Kill them!" Aragok said irritably. "Don't disturb me because of this. I'm sleeping."
Hearing Aragok's words, the other spiders became excited.
They surrounded the center of the field, ready to eat Elwyn and Peter after Aragok returned.
"No, no, think of something!" Peter lay on the ground, clutching Elwyn's robe tightly, and looked around at the eight-eyed spiders in panic.
Elwyn kicked Peter aside and took a step forward. He could even see the fur on Aragok's body clearly.
He swallowed, and his heart felt like it was going to leave his chest and jump out of his throat.
"Wait, Aragok!" Elwyn shouted. "I'm Hagrid's friend!"
"Hagrid's friend?!" Amid the clicking sounds, Aragok hesitated and said slowly, "Hagrid has never sent anyone to our hollow before!"
"My name is Elwyn Mason. I'm in the castle. My relationship with Hagrid …"
"I've heard of your name!" Aragok waved its huge pincers. "Hagrid told me a few months ago that you killed the guy in the castle."
"That's right!" Elwyn replied eagerly. "It was me and Harry who killed the snake monster!"
Hearing the word "snake monster", all the clicking sounds in the hollow suddenly stopped, and the whole world became unprecedentedly quiet.
Other than his own heavy breathing and Peter's sobbing, Elwyn could not hear anything else.
He even thought that the eight-eyed spiders had all left. He turned his head and saw that the eight-eyed spiders were still huddled there, but they were all quiet and even took a step back.
Their ugly spider faces showed a very human-like expression of fear.
"How dare you mention this name!" Aragok waved its huge pincers wildly, making a series of clacking sounds like never before. It said fiercely, "That guy is the nemesis of us spiders!"
Its voice was echoed by the large group of spiders in the hollow. Like applause, the clicking sounds suddenly rang out. Elwyn saw that the spiders had surrounded them again. Countless long legs moved on the ground, and huge black shadows swayed around them.
"Quick, say something else, don't mention that guy!" Dwarf Peter reminded Elwyn in an almost suffocating voice.
Obviously, Aragok thought so too. It changed the topic and said to Elwyn, "Friend of Hagrid, what are you doing in our hollow?"
"I came here by accident because I was tracking this guy. He is an evil black wizard, and he has hatched a despicable plot in the castle!" Elwyn hesitated for a moment before continuing, "This guy serves the Lord Voldemort."
Peter Pettigrew twitched when he heard the name.
"Lord Voldemort?!" Aragok repeated slowly, and did not seem to have any special reaction. It said slowly, "I have heard of this name. Fifteen years ago, this wizard sent someone to contact me. You humans were in a war at that time, and he asked us to join his side, but I refused. I am not interested in the war between wizards. Although my children are very eager to follow this wizard, and the Lord Voldemort promised them very generous rewards, they … "
