Chapter 106: Leave
While the fireworks were not extinguished, Darren hurried to find his wand on the ground, fortunately it was not broken, although he could still go to Ollivanders to buy another one, but in this situation, if the wand really went wrong, I am afraid that Darren would not have a chance to leave here and go to Diagon Alley......
After picking up the wand, Darren could only put the pistol back in his pocket, because one of his hands had been hit violently, slightly scratched, and severely burned, and Darren couldn't bear to work on it anymore, of course, the main reason was that it was so painful! Especially the burned area in the palm of the hand, a large area is hot and painful, and there is no way to grasp anything. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
And Darren hadn't learned any medical spells, and he didn't even have a painkiller on his body, so there was no other way to deal with it except to tear off a strip of cloth from his robe and wrap it to avoid continuing to come into contact with the muddy water in the pipes, so let it rest.
Unleashed the fluorescent spell, and when the basilisk finally disappeared completely from the hole, Darren returned to the outside pipe and ran in the opposite direction of the basilisk, with the current size of the basilisk, in this pipe, it can only move forward, not backward, no way, who made it grow too big, almost two-thirds as thick as the pipe, in which it can't turn around at all, if you don't take this opportunity to slip away, how long will you wait?
As for where to go? Darren had been thinking about this just now, although theoretically speaking, it should be safest to follow the basilisk, because unless there is a U-shaped turn in the pipe, the basilisk can't turn back, but who knows if Salazar will think of this problem and fix some turnaround points for his basilisk?
Besides, from the experience of entering the chamber just now, these pipes are not all horizontal, and many of them are inclined at a considerable angle, which means that Darren may be trapped in the pipes and unable to move forward, or worse, trapped at the bottom of a certain section of the pipe and unable to move......
So after thinking about it, Darren felt that it was better to leave the basilisk first, and then talk about it, it was best to be able to go back to the outside of the pipe, continue to wander around the pipe, and meet the basilisk head-on when he can't keep it, but people have lived here for a thousand years, and the terrain is absolutely unfamiliar, and they will definitely find a route to turn back.
However, when he came here just now, Darren was chased by the basilisk and didn't pay attention to the direction and characteristics of the pipe at all, can he find his way back?
Fortunately, Darren immediately found a lot of traces left by the basilisk in the pipe, and the huge and heavy body left many obvious scratches in the pipe, and from time to time you can still see the traces of collision in the corner?
Oh, at this time, Darren suddenly realized, the basilisk is not exactly a snake in the end, not like snakes with heat sensing organs, so the perception of the outside situation mainly depends on vision, in the outside of the secret room is fine, after all, there is still a little green light, to this pipe, pitch black, I'm afraid the basilisk can't see the surrounding situation clearly, if it is slow forward, it's fine, but to go full speed to chase the target, it's a little can't turn away, no wonder he missed him just now, maybe it was because he hit the stone wall and suddenly changed direction.
But right now, these small marks of impact and friction left by the basilisk just provided a signpost for Darren to return to the secret room outside, and as he moved forward, Darren looked around, hoping to see other people's traces in the pipes, preferably Harry.
Why? Now except for the phoenix on Harry's body, who can deal with the basilisk's eyes, and only its immortal attribute can ignore the basilisk's gaze and nullify it.
What's more, Darren had been in close contact with the basilisk, and was so frightened that he fled, and this time he saw the amazing power of the basilisk again, Darren asked himself if he didn't have the courage to face such a big basilisk with his eyes closed, when he took out his pistol purely to give himself courage, it was impossible to use it to deal with the basilisk, in other words, using a pistol to aim at the basilisk with his eyes open, basically no different from using a pistol to shoot himself in the head.
Unfortunately, until Darren returned to the hole he had entered, he did not meet anyone on the way, for they were already in the chamber......
Hearing the sound of splashing water coming out of the pipe, the rest of the people were visibly taken aback and hid on both sides of the passage.
"It's me!" Darren shouted.
Hearing his voice, the rest poked their heads out from behind their respective covers, "Oh my God, Darren, what's wrong with you?" Hurt? Harry said in surprise.
"Damn, I don't know why, the basilisk kept pestering me, and I got hit in the pipe, and I was almost caught up by the basilisk, and I finally got rid of it," Darren replied, "Where have you been, why are you gone in the blink of an eye, and you don't wait for me." ”
"You're embarrassed to say that I'm the last one, and I didn't run in the wrong direction, and you can still run to the fork in the road in the middle position, it's really ......" At this time, Darren heard Percy's voice, "Alright, now let's get out of here, who knows when that basilisk will come back here." ”
"Leave? What about Ginny, where is she? Hearing Percy's words, Darren hurriedly asked.
"Ginny is here," Percy spun out from behind a stone pillar, and Darren saw that in Percy's arms was a little girl with red hair, none other than Ginny.
"Okay, we can talk about the details later, let's get out of here first, Darren, are you okay?" At this time, Lockhart also walked out from behind the stone pillar, looked at Darren and said.
"It's okay, you can still go, by the way, since Ginny has been rescued, who is the 'heir'? Did you see that? Although Ginny was fine, Darren didn't know what the situation was, so he couldn't help but ask.
Hearing Darren's question, Percy's face sank and he hesitated, and Ron said, "Ginny is the 'heir', but she is ......"
"Alright, it's dangerous here, let's get back to the surface first," Percy interrupted Ron, "now isn't the time to talk about that." ”
"Yes, the most important thing now is to report the situation here to Professor Dumbledore, we already know the location of the secret room, and we also know that the monster that attacked the students is a basilisk, and when we get back to the school, we can let the professor take people down to clean up here, and there will be no more attacks in the future!" At the mention of Dumbledore, Harry's face was full of confidence, and the phoenix, Fawkes, was standing firmly on his shoulder.
