Chapter 164: Solved the First Horcrux
Harry hurriedly took a few steps forward, dragging the Gryffindor Sword to Dudley's side.
Dudley pursed his lips and grabbed the hilt of his sword, the pain preventing him from holding the sword in one hand, so he had to grasp the hilt with both hands, endure the pain, and slash towards the snake's beak.
"Click".
The huge teeth in the snake's mouth snapped off at the sound, and the entire head of the snake was cut in half from the mouth position.
Harry was afraid that the snake would react, so he used his strength to drag half of the snake's head far away, and then dragged the other half away.
"Ah~" Dudley snorted in pain, because the snake's sharp teeth were still stuck in his calf, and when he swung his sword just now, the teeth hit his wound.
The Gryffindor sword fell from Dudley's grasp, and he collapsed as he propped his hands on the ground, gasping for breath.
His heart was about to be scolded, he knew that he shouldn't have cut off the snake's head in the first place, if he hadn't been bitten, he wouldn't have remembered.
The snake relies on the central nervous system of the spine to control the body, and the head of the snake is cut off, but the central nervous system is not completely dead.
The average snake wants to die out of the central nervous system, which basically takes half an hour, and the longest takes an hour. This is still an ordinary snake, not to mention the basilisk in front of him that has lived for almost a thousand years.
Dudley trembled and tore open his pants from the wound, gritting his teeth and pulling them out.
Black blood rushed from the wound, and he knew that the snake venom had invaded the bone marrow.
Black blood flowed out, blackening the dusty ground and emitting a foul stench.
"Harry, listen to me......"
By this time, Dudley's vision had begun to blur. Riddle, Harry, Hermione, and the others all seemed to start spinning, and gradually the chamber began to spin as well.
A melodious chirp rang out, and a phoenix the size of a sparrow swept past Dudley's eyes, and he felt the gentle scratching of claws on his legs.
Dudley squinted his eyes and stretched his head forward, and he said vaguely, "Fawkes...... "He felt so tired that he wanted to lie down and get some sleep.
Harry's shouts rang out in Darley's ears, which made him cheer up from time to time.
"Wow!wow!"
It was the sound of leather shoes hitting the ground, accompanied by bursts of echoes, and a black shadow stood in front of him.
"Feel how long you're going to survive, you're going to die," Riddle's voice said above him, "even Dumbledore's birds know that. You open your eyes and see what he's doing, it's crying!"
Dudley shook his head, and Fawkes's figure suddenly became clear and blurred. Large and large pearl-like teardrops fell down on the wound on Dudley's calf.
The phoenix is crying......
"I'm going to stand here, staring at your death," Riddle said in a low and eerie voice, "even your good brother, Harry Potter, is far away from you, and rest assured that he will be there for you when you come...... Oh, by the way, and that mudblood, too. ”
Dudley ignored Riddle and waited quietly. At this time, he no longer felt dizzy, and everything in front of him was gradually becoming clear. He still pretended to be dazed, squinting at the wound in his calf.
The wound emitted a faint silvery-white glow.
"Huh?" Riddle let out a confused voice, and he suddenly roared, "Get out of the way, you stupid broken bird!" he waved his wand in exasperation.
There was a loud "bang", and his spell only hit Dudley about five inches above him, and a ripple appeared, blocking his spell.
"Surprised, surprised?" Dudley lay on the ground and didn't bother to get up, he couldn't see the slightest injury, but exuded a lazy aura.
"Phoenix's tears...... Riddle said, his eyes fixed on Phoenix and then at Dudley's calf, "...... It has the effect of detoxification and healing...... I actually forgot, but when you released it, all the protection. ”
"Forget it, it doesn't matter anymore, the spell will be broken with one more shot. His gaze was on Dudley's cheek, "Then it's your honor to let the Great Me take care of you personally!"
He raised his wand to Dudley.
"Really, goodbye then?" Dudley waved at Riddle pleasantly, then pointed behind Riddle, "What do you see Harry doing?"
"What?" Riddle quickly turned to attack Harry.
But Harry had already spread out the diary by this time, and inserted the basilisk teeth in his hand straight into the center of the diary.
With a terrible, long-lasting, piercing scream, streams of ink spurted out of the journal and ran down Harry's hands to the ground.
Riddle twisted and struggled, his arms waving incessantly, and his mouth screaming......
He disappeared.
With a click, Riddle's wand fell to the ground, and everything fell silent.
All I could hear was the sound of ink still oozing out of the diary.
The basilisk's venom had burned a hole in the diary, and black smoke was still hissing.
Harry cracked his mouth and smiled, he stood up and trembled, as if he had exhausted all his strength, and he walked towards Dudley, gesticulating with an 'OK' gesture, "It works perfectly. ”
Dudley jumped to his feet, unable to tell that this was the man who had just been injured and poisoned, and he put his arm around Harry's shoulder, "Guy, you're witty." ”
When he started to get poisoned, he didn't have time to explain everything to Harry, just said "diary" to Harry, and then handed Harry the basilisk tooth.
The quick-witted Harry comprehended these two pieces of information brilliantly, and directly delivered a fatal blow to Riddle, still with a critical hit.
There was a chirp in the sky, and the little phoenix the size of a sparrow spun in circles in front of Dudley, calling once or twice from time to time, as if it were asking for credit.
"Thank you Fawkes for saving your life, you can't repay the great kindness," Dudley smiled kindly at the little phoenix, "I have to endure the pain and not eat you, and grow up in peace......"
Before Dudley could finish speaking, the little phoenix let out a shrill cry, and it opened its small mouth, and a red flame converged.
"Bang!"
Dudley's face was blackened again.
"Just kidding......"
It was, a soft moan came from not far away.
Hermione began to move.
Dudley and Harry hurried over, and Hermione sat up on the ground.
"How does it feel?" Dudley asked with concern as he crouched down and helped Hermione.
Hermione looked around in confusion, her gaze first to Dudley, Harry, and finally to the massive corpse of the basilisk not far away, she shuddered, "Basilisk! It's Malfoy......"
"Don't worry, don't worry," Dudley said soothingly, patting Hermione on the back, "it's all settled." ”
