Acromantulas are extremely vengeful creatures.
He had only injured a female spider with Sectumsempra.
Given an Acromantula's magic resistance, his previous Sectumsempra spell had only inflicted a minor, unhealable injury.
It should, probably... not die so easily.
Chen Yu was also a bit unsure.
However, to send over a dozen Acromantulas to encircle and annihilate him...
He felt it was a bit excessive.
Chen Yu once again realized that the Serpent Spell's invisibility was not foolproof.
Sounds and slight vibrations from walking, the scent of sweat from his body, and his inherent body heat could all expose his presence.
Especially the smell of fried chicken after he finished eating, which in the Forbidden Forest was as out of place as finding cow dung in a city.
This couldn't be blamed on Chen Yu; after being chased by over a dozen Acromantulas for half a day, running around had made him truly hungry.
It was quite normal to pull out a chicken leg from his backpack to reward himself, and also recover some stamina and magic power.
After several twists and turns, Chen Yu didn't know where he had ended up, only that he seemed to have reached the depths of the Forbidden Forest.
The surrounding trees were denser, and the grass was lusher.
Mosquitoes and insects were also more rampant.
Using his wand to flick away an unknown caterpillar that was constantly wiggling in front of his eyes, Chen Yu took a deep breath, deciding to launch a desperate counterattack.
He had originally intended to show Hagrid some respect, thinking that if he killed too many Acromantulas, it would be difficult to explain to Hagrid and Dumbledore.
After all, theoretically, everything in the Forbidden Forest nominally belonged to Hogwarts' territory, and Acromantulas naturally were also among the Hogwarts Board of Governors' property.
It was mentioned before that Acromantula venom is very valuable; one pint can sell for 100 Galleons in Diagon Alley.
Chen Yu didn't believe that the Hogwarts governors were unaware of the Acromantulas' existence in the Forbidden Forest.
Acromantulas being able to breed continuously in the Forbidden Forest must have been with their tacit approval.
Chen Yu also figured it out; even if he killed a dozen Acromantulas, it wasn't a big deal.
At worst, he could blame it on those Dark Wizards who secretly entered the Hogwarts Forbidden Forest to hunt.
Especially a certain professor who liked to search for Unicorns in the Forbidden Forest.
He could just pin the blame on him.
As a first-year student, sneaking into the Forbidden Forest was already outrageous, so how could he possibly kill so many Acromantulas?
This must have been done by those hateful Dark Wizards!
Chen Yu took a deep breath, his eyes sharpening.
To prevent himself from making a mistake, he pulled rabadon's death crown from his backpack and put it on his head.
Damn it, even a mud figurine has three parts of spirit.
I refuse to believe that with such thorough preparations, I could still fail.
Seeing an Acromantula constantly twitching its nose and sniffing the air.
Chen Yu hid behind a tree, waited for the right moment, and directly launched—"Avada Kedavra!"
The green light, like a torrent, directly struck the Acromantula still sniffing the air.
This Acromantula died very peacefully.
After being hit by the green light, its body immediately stiffened in place, not moving an inch.
One hit, one kill—this was the charm of Avada Kedavra.
Seeing the motionless Acromantula, Chen Yu cautiously approached again, used a repulsion spell, and finding the Acromantula unresponsive, he truly confirmed that this Acromantula was genuinely dead.
Heh, what a trash game system, it doesn't even have a monster health bar.
It makes the player personally check if the monster is thoroughly dead. Bad review.
Chen Yu cursed the system's incomplete functions in his mind, but his mouth and hands were not idle.
First, he cast a Cutting Curse at the dead Acromantula's chelicerae, severing them.
Then, he took out a crystal vial, used in Potion Class class to hold Potion Class, and placed it at the severed point of the chelicerae to collect the Acromantula's venom.
Acromantulas are ferocious and extremely dangerous; it's very difficult to obtain venom from a living one.
If an Acromantula has been dead for too long, its venom will completely evaporate, so it truly can only be extracted quickly shortly after death.
The venom from one Acromantula is very limited; he collected about less than 1000 milliliters before it ran out.
Acromantula venom is extremely potent; even with a Bubblehead Charm to isolate any potentially volatile toxins in the air, Chen Yu still felt a bit weak.
He quickly sealed the crystal vial.
"Excellent, a quick 200 Galleons earned."
After putting the venom into his backpack, Chen Yu's mood improved.
Acromantula venom has no shortage of buyers; it can be sold at any shop in Diagon Alley that deals in Potion Class or magical ingredients.
It is a high-grade raw material in short supply.
Chen Yu stared at the Acromantula in front of him again, falling into deep thought.
Speaking of which, this creature is a XXXX-rated beast, on the same level as a dragon.
Could Acromantula meat be eaten? And would it taste good?
Chen Yu once again fell into deep thought.
He heard that poisonous spiders could be eaten, and that they tasted similar to crab.
However, when eating spiders, one must remove the head, and before eating, the hair on its body needs to be scorched off with fire, and its chelicerae hair also cannot be eaten.
Then you can sprinkle on seasoning, coat it in breadcrumbs, and deep-fry it until golden, making the neighbor's kids drool (or scream).
No sooner said than done, Chen Yu again used a Cutting Curse to dismember the Acromantula.
Because the space in the backpack provided by the system was not large, Chen Yu only cut off two of the Acromantula's legs and dug out a large piece of meat from its abdomen before quickly leaving the scene of the incident.
Through this experiment, Chen Yu also discovered that besides using spells to improve skill proficiency, he could not gain experience through killing.
While this disappointed Chen Yu, he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
What if the system truly allowed him to gain power through killing?
Chen Yu truly couldn't guarantee that he would be able to control his killing intent and resist the desire to become stronger through slaughter.
If he somehow became a terrifying Dark Lord one day, it would probably be two generations of Dark Lords teaming up with Dumbledore to take him down.
That wouldn't be fun.
Never forget your original intention, and you will find your way.
But Chen Yu thought for a long time and couldn't remember what his original intention was.
He had simply habitually drifted with the current for the first half of his life, unknowingly becoming "that neighbor's kid" in the real world.
Chen Yu felt a bit confused after killing the Acromantula.
After all, this was his first time killing a monster, and a monstrous creature that could speak human language and possessed intelligence.
It was inevitable that his heart would be stirred.
For the first time, he deeply experienced the difference between the game world and the real world.
Forget it, it's just killing a small monster, why be so sentimental?
If he were to give up his magic, give up his helmet, and give up coming to The Magical World of Hogwarts, that would be impossible.
Even if an unknown deity were to say they wanted to reclaim the helmet granted to him, Chen Yu would dare to directly cast Avada Kedavra at them to state his position.
So what was he still agonizing over?
Thinking of this, Chen Yu's eyes became serious again.
The crisis wasn't over yet; now was not the time to be spaced out or lost in thought.
Chen Yu gripped the Serpent Spell in his left hand, once again entering an invisible state.
His right hand aimed his wand at a larger Acromantula that was charging towards him.
"Avada Kedavra!"
...Everything was as Chen Yu expected; under Avada Kedavra, all beings were equal.
The Acromantulas' magic resistance was like paper, easily torn apart.
He was like someone with an invisibility and one-hit-kill cheat; none of the approaching Acromantulas successfully returned.
Gradually, the seven crystal vials Chen Yu carried were filled with Acromantula venom.
He hadn't originally intended to get venom from the Acromantulas this time; the crystal vials in his backpack were just put there during Potion Class class and he forgot to take them out.
Gradually, the Acromantulas also sensed that something was wrong, realizing that the invisible wizard was a tough opponent, so they stopped sending spiders over.
Chen Yu was happy to be at leisure, jumped onto a treetop, looked up at the sun, determined his direction, and prepared to return to Hogwarts.
This trip to the Forbidden Forest had also been very fruitful, and he had discovered many issues; it was time to go back and identify and fix the gaps.
