Chapter 116: Corpse
Like last time, it was twisting and turning, but there were glowing signposts left by Fred and George, and Darren could see something somewhat, and he guessed right, there were many large and small holes next to the sliding pipe, which meant that in addition to the one under him, there were many pipes that were interconnected, and if they hadn't slid down like last time, they would have gotten lost in the intricate pipes.

However, thanks to Salazar Slytherin's design, now they just have to slide all the way down, and gravity will help them stay on the same route as last time.
Eventually, the pipe was back on level, and Darren knew it was the end, but unlike last time, when he rushed out of the hole, he didn't feel like he was falling, but as if he was gliding, as if he had no weight, and it didn't hurt at all.
At that moment, he heard Harry's voice behind him again, "Get out of the way," Fred or George, who were casting a fluorescent spell with their wands, said to Darren, and as Harry rushed out of the hole, another Weasley waved his wand, "Shock Absorbing Charm!"
So that's the case, fortunately Fred and George are in front of them, why didn't Percy and Lockhart use this spell last time......
When Harry got up from the ground, they all cast a fluorescent spell with their wands and walked towards the cave in a group, where they saw the basilisk's snake molt again, which gave Fred and George a preliminary idea of the size of the basilisk, "Merlin, it's so big! ”
"The real thing is bigger than that, you can see it. ”
It has to be said that the twin brothers have the ability to make other people relax, and this time they entered the underground secret room, and they chatted while moving forward, as if they were on an afternoon adventure, completely without the thrill and tension of the last time, which was not entirely due to the absence of a basilisk.
Finally, they came to the metal door, Harry gave a command in snake language, opened it, and after entering the secret room, Darren saw that it was still filled with green mist, but at this time, in his eyes, there was a little less eerie and terrifying, only a little mysterious change, probably due to the change of mood.
Walking to the entrance of the door of the secret room, you can still see the ladder and scattered stones that were knocked out by the basilisk, showing the fierce battle that once took place, and in the distance, the huge body of the basilisk is still lying on the ground.
In order to descend to the floor of the chamber, Darren used Transfiguration to extend a row of steps from the stone wall, and several merfolk walked forward to the basilisk corpse.
At this point, the ice that Ron said covered the basilisk's body had disappeared without a trace, and only the huge body remained silently in place.
Although he had been in close contact with the basilisk before, between life and death, Darren was either a leopard in a tube or a glimpse, and never had the opportunity to observe the basilisk closely, and only after it died, could he see the whole picture.
Although the basilisk was still coiled, it could still be seen that the basilisk was far longer than the snakeskin seen before, and it was fifty feet, or fifteen meters long, which was equivalent to the width of eight lanes in both directions in the city, and when it lay sideways on the road, it was enough to block the entire road!
I don't know if it was because of the sheer size of the basilisk that surprised Fred and George too much, anyway, since seeing the basilisk's corpse, the two of them have never said a word, just slowly marching around the basilisk under the fluorescent spell.
And Harry stood in front of the basilisk again, as if he had just realized what kind of opponent he had fought against, and he was also silent, rubbing his left hand on his right arm, I wonder if he was also afraid?
But for Darren, it's harvest time!
He hurried up to the head of the basilisk, intending to get a few teeth down first, this is the only weapon against Horcruxes, even the Gryffindor sword, only tainted with the venom of the basilisk to destroy Horcruxes, for Darren, this is the most important goal of his return to the Chamber of Secrets.
However, when he stood in front of the basilisk's head, he was depressed to find that the basilisk had its mouth closed so tightly that unless he pried open or opened the basilisk's mouth in some other way, he would not be able to touch his teeth at all, as if he had come too soon......
At this time, Harry saw Darren circling around the head of the basilisk and walked over and asked, "What's the matter, what do you want to do?"
"Oh, that, I want to get a few basilisk teeth as a souvenir, this guy is too difficult to deal with, it's hard to kill it, don't you think you should keep some souvenirs?"
"Me?" Harry hesitated a little after hearing Darren's words, and then refused, "No, this evil creature is terrible, just let it stay in this secret room." ”
I have to say that fortunately, the students at Hogwarts are like Harry, otherwise, I'm afraid that Ron will only see the empty secret room in the end, not to mention snake teeth, and he can't find a single snake bone.
It's just that, looking at the body of the basilisk right now, Darren couldn't force open its mouth, so he could only watch it dryly, and suddenly, he found a small scar above the basilisk's giant mouth, if it wasn't for the blood around the wound, he couldn't see it at all.
"I heard Ron say that you stabbed the basilisk to death?"
"Ahh ”
Although Harry said so, Darren looked at the wound on the head of the basilisk, but he was a little puzzled, judging from the position of the wound, it was quite forward, after all, Harry's arm was not very long, plus the angle, the wound was only twenty or thirty centimeters away from the tip of the basilisk, compared to the head of the basilisk, it only accounted for a fairly small proportion, it was really hard to imagine, what kind of skull structure the basilisk would make the brain in such a front position? This is basically equivalent to stabbing a rooster in the beak and killing it......
But anyway, Harry pierced the basilisk in the roof of the jaw, and then the basilisk died, who cares how it died.
Seeing that the basilisk's big mouth couldn't be opened, Darren could only walk towards the basilisk's body, he put his hand on the basilisk, and a cold touch followed, and when he pressed hard, he could feel the toughness of the basilisk's skin.
Sure enough, in order to function properly, the basilisk's body could not be draped in large, heavy and hard scale armor, perhaps because of its bizarre way of birth, it did not even have the scales that most snakes covered, and instead had thick skin, like leather.
Since the snake teeth can't get their hands on it for a while, let's take some snake skin first, although I don't know what it can be used for, but it's also a gain.
