Chapter 060: Cleaning (Medium)

[Open a vertical passage at the foot of these two eight-eyed giant spiders!] Catherine whispered in snake language, and the floor beneath Aragog and Mosag suddenly vanished.

The two large spiders swung their big feet quickly, but they couldn't reach the edge of the passage, but they had other methods, and the two arm-thick white threads were shot to the ceiling, and the two spiders descended so fast that the white threads were torn off, but it was enough for them to stick their eight thighs into the wall.

"Clear water is like a spring!" When the two large spiders fell into the passage, Catherine led Kensalter and Demeter to cast the magic, and by the time they fixed themselves, their long hairs were already covered with fine ice cubes, but they continued to spray water at their feet.

Aragog and Mosag seemed terrified, pulling their feet up and struggling to climb up, but their own weight forced them to thrust their feet into the wall to make sure they didn't fall, which gave Catherine a chance.

The cold weather increased the effect of the Freezing Spell, and in less than half a minute, the two large spiders were completely fixed on the walls of the passage.

"Aim at their feet!" Catherine shouted expressionlessly, "Spitfire!" ”

"The flames are blazing!" Two scorching flames, from the tips of Kenshutter and Demeter's staffs, shot at Aragog and Mosag's frozen feet, and then there was a "crackling" sound from the sixteen big feet.

"No!" Aragog and Mosag let out a long scream, shooting white wires at the same time, temporarily preventing the flames from reaching their feet.

"I'm coming!" Lockhart shouted, and quickly swung his wand to pull out a giant log and smash it down, but the giant tree appeared above the marble steps, and it immediately "snapped-clicked" straight at Catherine.

"Be careful!" Kenshart exclaimed loudly, but he did not dare to turn the head of his staff to help Catherine, for fear that he would be entangled in spider silk.

The strange loud noise behind her had already alerted Catherine to the left to pounce, but her right shoulder was still swept away by a huge force, her wand was thrown out of her hand, and her body fell into the passage.

As soon as Aragog and Mosag saw each other, they immediately shot the spider silk at Catherine, but the girl grabbed the giant tree with her left hand, pressed it hard, and her body jumped up a large section, and the giant tree was tilted by the force, but smashed on the two eight-eyed giant spiders at the same time, and there was a loud "click" sound, and at the same time left the wall of the passage, and fell into the passage with the giant tree.

When Catherine saw them fall, she let them fall with her, for she had to pick up her wand, and she didn't want to go to the trouble of finding another one.

"Catherine?" Seeing the red-haired girl being knocked down by the giant tree she had conjured up, Lockhart panicked and ran to the edge of the passage, and then plunged headlong into the passage.

"This-" Kensault really didn't understand what was going on, she thought Lockhart was sneaking up on Catherine, but how could any sneak attacker be so stupid that he couldn't stop and fall straight in!

"I'll go down and take a look!" Demeter suddenly shouted and jumped into the passage.

"Demeter!" Kenshart fell to his knees at the edge of the passage in astonishment, and shouted downwards before catching a glimpse of another figure jumping down.

"Kenshott! Close the doors immediately! Snape, who had just jumped into the passage, shouted and immediately ordered Douglas to close the passage.

"Wait a minute!" As soon as she stretched out her hand, she saw the passage suddenly disappear, and the frightened Kensaut threw himself directly on the floor where he reappeared.

"What's going on?" Kenshott knocked the floor, and a dull echo told her that it was solid underneath, and if it weren't for the four people missing, she couldn't believe what had just happened.

Kensault sat dumbfounded for a few moments, until she noticed the black smoke billowing above the Forbidden Forest, and then she remembered her mission, swung her wand to close the castle gates, and ran back to the window to observe the situation outside.

As soon as Lockhart fell into the passage, the giant tree vanished into thin air due to the loss of his magical support, and the two eight-eyed giant spiders immediately shot out the spider silk again, and after two failures, the third time finally allowed itself to stay on the wall of the passage. In order to avoid breaking her wand, Catherine not only did not dare to activate the levitation charms on her school robes, but had to speed up past them.

[The exit has been changed to a curve slide and you can go directly to Douglas's room!] But as soon as she grabbed her wand, Catherine quickly gave a series of commands in snake language, and the originally straight passage began to turn, and she leaned her back against the wall of the passage, and the huge friction forcibly changed the direction of her descent.

As soon as she noticed that the passage had become horizontal, Catherine immediately activated the levitation charm, and without the influence of gravity, the powerful force caused her to leave the exit and fly directly through the room, until her right shoulder hit the statue of Salazar.

The force of the impact did not change Catherine's complexion in the slightest, she climbed directly on top of the statue's head with her hands and feet, hiding in the gap between his hair and the wall, and then looked down at her right shoulder, which had been hit twice just now, the severe pain and swelling, the immobility of her right hand, and the loss of the original shape of the bone, obviously a comminuted fracture.

"Ahh Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! With a loud scream, Lockhart flew out of the passageway, slammed into the wet floor, and rolled to Salazar's statue, lying at his feet.

"Yuga Dim Leviosa!" As soon as Demeter exited the exit, he immediately used the levitation charm, and although the momentum carried him through most of the room, making him almost stumble and fall when he landed, at least not as wolf as Lockhart.

"Gollum! Gollum! As soon as Demeter stood up straight, he heard a strange sound coming from the exit of the passage, and as soon as he turned around, he saw two huge black shadows flying out, he gasped and ran to the side, and Lockhart, who was still lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, also quickly rolled on the spot, and then fell into the ditch behind the pillar with a "plop".

"Bang bang! Smack! The two black shadows did not rush out quickly, and after a few rolls on the ground, they stopped in the middle of the room, and then they spread their curled feet, turned slowly, and looked at Demeter and Lockhart, who had just grasped the edge of the ditch.

Who is it? The statue's mouth opened at some point, and Douglas's voice came from inside, then the sound of it squirming up, and finally there was a loud "bang", and the whole room trembled slightly from its falling body.

Douglas hovered in front of Salazar's statue, straightened up and looked down at the two men and the two large spiders who had invaded its territory, and hissed angrily:

Who are you? Why did you run into my room? 】

Aragog and Mossag huddled together and trembled violently, wishing that their bodies would shrink a hundredfold at once; Demeter retreated very slowly with his head down until he ducked behind the pillar; Lockhart, on the other hand, closed his eyes and shouted in horror: "Don't kill me!" Don't kill me! ”

[Isn't there anyone who can answer my question?] Douglas shook his body, his mouth wide open to reveal two two-foot-long fangs, and his yellow eyes the size of a light bulb surveyed the room back and forth between the people and spiders.

[Don't mess around, Douglas! A light mist emerged from Lockhart's body, and when it landed on the floor, it had condensed into the figure of a man, who was wearing a very elegant white dress and robe embroidered with green gem patterns, and his waist-length long black hair was tied behind him with a silver ribbon, looking like a pious monk, but the pair of eyes as bright as rubies made people understand that this was a very dangerous person.

【Tom！ You're finally willing to see me again! Douglas hissed with pleasure, closed his big mouth and lowered his body, the snake's tail swaying briskly, "I've always wanted to ask you, how did you become like this?" 】

[It's a long story, I'll tell you when I'm free!] Tom Riddle showed a charming smile, "Do you know where the girl who ran in just now was hiding? 】

[Girl? What girl? Douglas asked, shaking his head and spitting out a snake.

[The second-grade girl who can speak snake language.] Tom Riddle bent down to pick up Lockhart's wand.

[Does anyone at Hogwarts other than you speak snake language?] Douglas straightened up and looked at the rest of the room, and Mosag, who was leading Aragog quietly back, was caught off guard by this death gaze, and then collapsed to the ground, not moving.

"Mosag! Mosag! Aragog cried out in horror, "What's wrong with you? Answer me quickly? It trembled violently and made a rapid "click" sound, like a steam engine with too much fuel.

[If it weren't for the help of a wizard, how could this exit be opened?] Riddle looked up at Salazar's "unrecognizable" face.

[Didn't you open it?] Douglas looked back at him, Riddle was stunned for a moment, and the blurred figure immediately turned into a light mist, which had already appeared on the statue's head when it condensed again.

[What's wrong?] Douglas asked in a puzzled tone, looking up at Riddle, who was looking around for something above Salazar's statue, when suddenly a sticky mass hit it, and it was pulled and almost fell to the ground.

Douglas looked down and saw that it was an arm-thick spider silk, the other end of which was wrapped around a pillar, and it stretched out its tail to break the silk, and then it was wrapped around the other silk.

It was the surviving eight-eyed spider Aragog who shot out the silk, and since its eyes were already blind, the basilisk's most terrifying death gaze was just ineffective, and Mosag's death only inspired it to fight its predators.

[Douglas, help me find that girl!] Riddle searched for a long time on the top of the statue, but found no trace of Catherine, so he had to turn to the owner of the place.

[Not available! Douglas shouted angrily, writhing his body hard, and due to the sheer power of the death gaze, it had little experience in hand-to-hand combat.

And although Aragog has been exhausted by the experience of the morning, and his eight legs have been broken by Catherine's design, his life of surviving in the terrifying Forbidden Forest and even becoming a "hegemon of one side" has given him very rich combat experience.

So when Riddle jumped from the top of the statue, he saw Douglas's huge body, which was fixed between the many pillars by Aragog with spider silk, and if no one intervened in this confrontation, I am afraid that this thousand-year-old basilisk would eventually become the meal of the eight-eyed giant spider, and this place would also become a "coiled silk hole".
