Chapter 487： Another failure (1/2)
Hagrid and Yaya have always been frequent visitors in the Forbidden Forest. They are very familiar with the forest in front of them. After walking for about ten minutes, they found the place where the unicorn blood was found.
”It's frozen.”
Albert picked up a branch, poked the solidified blood stall on the ground and said to Hagrid: ”It shouldn't be here. What we need to look for should be fresh blood.”
Hagrid was a little confused, didn't understand what this meant, but nodded, and it was right to bring Albert over by himself.
”Hagrid, is this far from the nest of those eight-eyed giant spiders?” Albert asked out of caution.
After all, he does have enemies with those eight-eyed giant spiders, and he is not Potter's lucky one, so he should be more careful to avoid being attacked inexplicably.
”Don't worry, you are safe with me here,” Hagrid promised, patting his chest, ”Also, eight-eyed giant spiders rarely hunt during the day.”
”Hagrid, you seem to believe that those big spiders won't hurt you?” Albert said to Hagrid, looking at the sniffing teeth.
”I believe in Aragog,” Hagrid said.
”Aragok, is the eight-eyed giant spider you raised?” Albert asked suddenly, ”How old is it?”
”How old is it?” Hagrid stopped, looked at Albert who was checking the bloodstain, and replied after thinking about it: ”It's almost fifty years old!”
”How long can an eight-eyed giant spider live?” Albert asked again.
”This...I don't know much.” Hagrid shook his head. Although he had raised eight-eyed giant spiders, he knew very little about them.
”Fifty years, the lifespan of that eight-eyed giant spider should be reaching its limit.” Albert stopped and looked around, he found that the two had lost blood.
Sure enough, it was too hard to find during the day.
”Perhaps, you should wait to come over at night, it will be easier that way,” Albert murmured.
”Do you think Aragok is dying?” Hagrid heard Albert's words, and was no longer looking for the unicorn.
”Fifty years is a very long life span for a spider.” Albert looked at the lost Hagrid, raised his foot and kicked the opponent's leather boots and reminded: ”But don't worry, Arago Ke should live a few more years.”
”You don't understand that feeling. Start with an egg, hatch it, and slowly pull it to grow up.” Hagrid said disappointedly. Albert's words made him realize that Aragog is indeed very good. old.
”Hagrid, I know you like those dangerous creatures very much, but I still have to remind you again that this is the Forbidden Forest, you should cheer up.” Albert reminded.
”I know this is the forbidden forest. I have been here countless times when I was the guard of the hunting grounds. To be honest, there are no dangerous creatures around the forbidden forest.” Hagrid seemed to express his inner dissatisfaction. He said to himself, ”Don't talk about werewolves, there are no forest monsters. The principal prohibits students from entering the forbidden forest, but in fact they are more worried that they will get lost in the forbidden forest.”
”Are you sure?” Albert shook his mouth slightly, raised his wand and pointed it in a certain direction, he could feel something there.
”That's Ye Qi.” Hagrid hurriedly stopped Albert from using magic. ”There are a lot of Ye Qi in the Forbidden Forest. The carriages that students ride in the school are responsible for pulling them. You should know what Ye Qi is. ?”
”Well, it's the Ye Qi that only people who have seen death can see.” Albert lowered his wand, but did not completely relax his vigilance.
”Yes, that's it. Yeqi just has a bad reputation.” Hagrid asked with a smile, ”Are you going to try to ride it?”
”May I?”
”of course can!”
Hagrid let Albert experience the feeling of riding a night qi.
The back of the night rider is soft and smooth, it doesn't feel uncomfortable to sit on it, and they are gentler than imagined.
”What do they eat?”
”Blood and raw meat.” Hagrid scratched his head, wondering what Albert asked this for.
”Maybe, we can really ask them to help find the unicorn. I think there are not many injured animals in the forest!” After getting off Ye Qi, Albert put forward his own point of view to Hagrid.
”This...Although Ye Qi is very smart, I don't know whether this method will work.” Hagrid thought about it, and still thought this method could be tried.
After all, Ye Qi was not a human being and couldn't communicate well. Even if Hagrid tried hard, he still failed.
Albert was not surprised, and this was also in his expectation. He asked Hagrid to try only with the idea that he would not suffer.
The two had to continue looking for the unicorn.
”I heard that some time after the death of a unicorn, the blood will become a kind of poison, is it true?” Albert asked a question
