Chapter 315: The Cave
"Be careful!" Malfoy's hand drooped, his wand clinging to his trouser leg, his eyes fixed on the swarthy cave, and then reminded Fleur.
Fleur also came back to her senses, staring at the entrance of the cave tightly, clenching the wand in her hand as if facing a great enemy.
She had just promised not to hold Malfoy back, and now was the time to perform.
Soon after Malfoy finished speaking to Fleur, swarms of black bats began to pour out of the bottomless cavern, most of them still stained with unquenched flames, flying around like headless flies, like fiery fireballs swimming in mid-air, exuding scorching heat and blinding light.
A scorching smell rushed towards her face with the gray smoke and gray mist, and Fleur immediately held her breath, immediately raised her wand, and gathered a whirlwind to sweep away the annoying smoke.
"It's disgusting. Fleur subconsciously frowned, and soon waved her wand again, conjuring a network of densely woven and sturdy threads, netting the remaining bats that were not ignited by the fire, and imprisoning them on the ground, only waving their wings and struggling weakly.
Malfoy casually waved his wand again, and the flames shot out, and some sparks pounced on the black bats, and then as if they had been fueled, they spread violently, and the bats were brutally poisoned, and suddenly turned into fireballs, and in an instant, they were reduced to ashes.
"Don't forget, and watch your step. Malfoy reminded the girl again, and Fleur realized that in the ground not far in front of her, there were many entangled, dense snakes that had sprung up at some point, wriggling their disgusting, slippery bodies, and crawling towards them from the ground.
If a girl's hatred of bats, creatures that live in the shadows, for aesthetic reasons, snakes are an instinctive fear of snakes in the blood and genes.
Even men often get apprehensive when they see this kind of creeping creature with its fangs, fangs, and fangs.
Fleur screamed, took a few steps back in panic, leaned against the sturdy tree behind her, forgot all about her calmness and self-control, her wand was unstable, and her slender arms trembled and swayed. The number is too terrifying, if it is only one or a few, it can still be barely overcome.
Fear affects a wizard's strength.
However, Malfoy had already been mentally prepared for this, and now they had to face the ruins left by Salazar Slytherin, which did not have snakes, but was abnormal.
After all, the symbol of Slytherin itself is a snake, and at Hogwarts, the coat of arms of Slytherin House is based on emeralds, with a silver-white crown floating around it, and a long snake with its fangs baring underneath.
Just when Fleur was so frightened that she lost her mind.
A low murmur continued to come out of Malfoy's mouth, and the dancing snakes suddenly stopped their behavior, and a leading snake with a particularly large snake head stood up, its narrow snake eyes and Malfoy's gray eyes stared at each other, and the long letter spat out, constantly stretching out and retracting.
Sizzle.
It was very human, and it talked to Malfoy.
It's a parseltongue.
In addition to talent, acquired learning can actually master this strange skill, after all, it has nothing to do with magic, as long as the person who can pronounce the pronunciation will always make progress after a period of exploration.
To exaggerate, as long as there are teachers willing to teach, maybe ordinary Muggles without a little magic can learn it.
Malfoy didn't have this talent, so he only acquired it.
The most muscular snake turned around and hissed a few more times.
When the serpents heard this, they immediately scattered and fled, looking for their new place to live.
Then Fleur watched as the dense snakes in front of her quickly dispersed from all directions.
She was stunned and leaned against the tree for about a minute or two before she gradually came back to her senses.
"That's pretty cool, how did you do that?" Fleur rubbed her limp calf, slowly stood up, approached Malfoy, and asked curiously, not at all aware of the startled feeling she had just been.
"It's just a way to communicate with animals. Malfoy didn't really want to tell the truth, so he changed the subject.
"I think we can go in, and since there are bats and snakes in it, it proves that even if the air inside is poisonous, it is within a tolerable range, and so on, and now we can go in. He explained.
The fire spell just now was just for a test.
Whether it's a wizard or a Muggle, it's not a wise thing to do to break into an unfamiliar cave in a daze.
"Fluorescent flicker!" a faint glow flashed from the tip of his wand.
Seeing this, Fleur hurriedly lit up her wand.
The two of them bent down, avoiding the sharp rocks that hung upside down, and walked into the cave together, then quickly straightened up again.
The cave couldn't see the depth, and the two of them walked one after the other. There was a faint smell of earth and fish, and a faint burning sensation, perhaps caused by the fire spell just now.
The ground under his feet is very hard, and it is even said that it is a little unscrupulous.
Sooner than expected, they didn't have to go a few steps before they found their destination.
A luxurious mini dungeon is presented in front of them, and the most eye-catching thing is the center of the dungeon.
A whole crimson coffin is surrounded by black soil, the bottom is a large piece of delicate black jade, through the candlelight, refracting the cold light, the maker dug a rather deep ravine near the coffin, the coffin is enclosed, to prevent outsiders from stepping in, four dark purple candles are lit at the four corners of the coffin, blooming with a dim brilliance, the candle body, engraved with several hideous silver snakes.
I don't know if it's an illusion, the snake eyes flashed a few times at the two people in front of him.
The body of the coffin is painted with intricate magical scripts.
A beam of light that looked like fireworks suddenly rose from the coffin lid and the four candles.
"Don't try to find things out of your control. ”
For example. ”
"An unsearchable fate. ”
"There is a time limit for life and death. ”
"It's hard to fathom people's hearts. ”
"Salazar Slytherin, it's been so long since she's been dead, and the candles here still shine as they used to, it's a powerful magic. Malfoy stared at the candlelight, silently contemplating.
Fleur shuddered, she only felt that there was an indescribable weirdness here.
She felt her head start to get a little dizzy, her consciousness began to blur, and she had a mysterious headache.
Just thinking that he had sworn before that he would definitely not hold him back, Fleur decided to hide it.
It's just ruins, it's all dead, and there's no danger.
At least that's what she thinks.
