Chapter 82: The Chamber of Secrets (5)
Wow, cunning mudbloods.
Riddle cursed in his heart, and from the moment Brandy stood in front of him casually and chatted with him, he had already vaguely guessed Brandy's little abacus. It's ridiculous to say that he knows his true identity as the Dark Lord and dares to speak out, unless he has a bad brain, he must have a plan...... Now it seems that he probably has the intention of luring the snake out of the hole and dealing with Kuhl first.
However, the seven seals ...... The bait thrown by this mudblood species really makes me have to accept it...... After a moment's thought, Riddle made up his mind.
"Go, smell that mudblood, get that boy back."
The basilisk flicked its tail and slid towards the door of the distant chamber.
Silence returned to the chamber, except for Riddle standing in front of the statue with a fanatical expression on his face.
"Mind magic doesn't work...... Could this be one of the treasures in the treasury? Interesting, so much fun! ”
…………
These basilisks of varying thicknesses have wandered thousands of times. It knows every point where it leads. Naturally, there is no reason for the prey to escape. What's more, searching for a mudblood species in the dark is too easy for the basilisk to even look at it without even eyes, and the unique aroma of blood alone can locate him.
Emerging from the chamber, the basilisk raised its head and hissed out the letter, feeling the smell of the air drifting.
It was a delicious taste, like sweet blood swaying through the air...... I'm so hungry...... Really hungry.
The simple brain feeds back the basilisk with hunger signals. After a long hibernation, barely maintaining his strength by eating rats in the sewers, the basilisk hasn't eaten anything tasty for a long time...... Suddenly, it smelled so strong of blood that it even had the urge to disobey its master's orders and eat the mudblood.
But Slytherin's ancient magical pact had always bound it, and it was helpless to find that it couldn't do so.
So without hesitation, it swam towards the tube on the right...... That's the direction of the bathroom exit, and there's no mistake, the mudbloods are running to the ground! Grab him and bring him back...... I hope that after the owner uses it, he can give himself a full meal.
The further you slide, the stronger the smell becomes. Hunger was tickling the basilisk's nerves, and it began to become restless, the mudblood's earthen walls used to delay time were shattered again and again, and its dark purple letters kept spitting out, desperately feeling the smell of blood that permeated the space. That mudblood, he's hurt?
After passing through this water pipe and turning two more corners, you can already hear the click in front of you. The taste here is already substantial, and there can be no mistake, the mudbloods are here! Get him!
The basilisk suddenly picked up speed, and with its head held high, it spun around the corner in a daze. Its eyes saw what was ahead, and it could barely control its survival instincts anymore! An eight-legged monster covered in furry and the size of a horse was desperately fleeing to the other end, its pair of sharp claws stained with blood! The familiar smell of mudblood and a vague but more seductive aroma lingered in the basilisk's nose at the same time!
What's going on? The basilisk's simple brain began to think desperately.
Could it be that this delicious-looking guy ate the mud that his master wanted?
The mudblood was in the stomach of that thing at the moment, probably dead, and the instinct from the biological chain reminded him that the eight legs in front of him were the meal of his dreams, if he ate the guy...... Won't be punished by the owner!
Thinking of this, the basilisk's eyes lit up, and the big eyes that were originally yellow and clear, like two light bulbs, were almost about to shoot out a fierce light at this moment. Seeing that there was nothing suspicious in the four corners, it no longer hesitated, and pounced on it as swiftly as a bolt of lightning, and the eight-legged monster that had been cornered seemed to have given up its resistance, and was lying on the side of the wall shivering
The basilisk opened its mouth excitedly, and it grew so big that it could swallow the guy in one gulp, revealing two pairs of sword-like fangs, thin and venomous......
It bit down, and its fangs stabbed neatly into the body of the eight-eyed giant spider.
In the next second, the basilisk's body froze suddenly, and it suddenly felt something strange
Bang!
There was a sudden loud bang, something under the spider's abdomen exploded violently, accompanied by a brilliant fiery red air current, a large amount of glittering silver liquid was blown up by the laborious pull trigger luxury explosion fireworks, and the entire small space was like a heavy rain of ice and fire. In just a few seconds, the space of more than ten feet at the end of the tunnel showed a silvery-white radioactive trace...... In the darkness there was a silvery white shimmer. Magnificent red fireworks swayed lazily around the basilisk's body, crackling and popping.
"It's now!"
At the same moment as the explosion sounded, the edge of the corner behind the basilisk, the silver-gray cloak was lifted in an instant, and the two wands were aimed at the ceiling above the basilisk's head, where the cracks had already been struck out with a spell beforehand. Harry and Ron nervously looked at the writhing basilisk not far away, waving their wands and shouting, "Split! ”
Boom! The ceiling exploded, and it was no less powerful than a small bomb. The fragile ceiling of the tunnel almost immediately collapsed, falling on the basilisk piece by piece, and neither of the initiators expected such a serious chain, like dominoes, and the collapsed area soon spread over their heads, and they had to cover their heads with their arms and run, trying to avoid the large pieces of rubble that had collapsed from the tunnel ceiling to the ground...... When it was all over, they stopped in horror and turned back to face the thick stone wall.
The basilisk has disappeared from their view.
"Was it buried alive by us?" Ron's nervous lips trembled, and he cautiously leaned forward, pressing his ear against the pile of rubble.
They had been hiding quietly on the edge of the corner with their eyes closed, using their cloaks of invisibility, when they heard the rustle of the basilisk swimming past them...... They were so nervous that they almost suffocated themselves. However, fortunately, the explosion of the painstaking fireworks was used as a signal to blow up the tunnel while the basilisk was struggling due to blindness, and the basilisk was isolated from the secret room, and the plan was successfully completed.
Through the rubble, Ron seemed to hear the violent crash of the basilisk deep in the tunnel, and his face turned green.
"Probably not yet...... After all, even we can get out. Besides, it seemed to be a lot of power, and it was impossible to solve it completely with just a collapsed tunnel. Harry lowered his voice, lest the basilisk hear him. But at least it shouldn't come back, the thick gravel wall wasn't as fragile as Brandy's makeshift earthen wall, it should have been trapped there. ”
"Then it won't swim back from the other pipes......
"It's not easy." Harry said, "The explosive basilisk at close range must not have reacted, this is a magic paint, even if it is scrubbed with Mrs. Skoll's universal stain remover, it will not be washed off in a few days, we have abolished the basilisk's most dangerous eye, and the paint is all over the basilisk's head, and the pungent smell should also be able to blind its olfactory organs." I don't think the basilisk would be able to find its way back from the cobweb-like sewerage system in this situation. ”
To be on the safe side, they blew up another section of the tunnel, turning the stone wall into a real dead end, and then began to hurry in the direction from which the basilisk had come.
"I don't know what happened to Brandy." On the way, Harry said worriedly, "I feel like he's almost drained of his blood for this battle, and I don't know where he got the courage to use a piece of rubble to cut so many ...... on his wrist."
"But it's working, isn't it? There is no way to do this, only the strong bloody gas can cover up the original smell of the two of us...... Otherwise, we would have been swallowed by the basilisk at this time. Ron exclaimed, "But that's thanks to your reminder, Harry, if you hadn't suddenly remembered that the basilisk could find Muggles by smell...... We're in big trouble. ”
They raced all the way back to the spot where the snakeskins were stacked, and Brandy was curled up in the hollow snakeskins, wrapped himself tightly. Harry and Ron had to pull him out of the snakeskin tube with all their might, and when Brandy's head was pulled out, he looked like he was going to suffocate.
"You're alright." The two men helped him to his feet from the ground, and Brandi's face turned horribly pale.
"Whew, it's okay...... The main thing is to make the snakeskin suffocate. He gasped for air, his forehead covered in sweat. It was fine when I first talked to Voldemort, but I was a little out of breath when I ran...... I almost didn't slip away. ”
"Can you go on like this......" Ron hesitated as he looked at his arm, his wrist covered in scars. Although the healing spell will stop you from bleeding, your strength will not recover, so you can go back to the bathroom and report to Lockhart and ask him to tell Professor McGonagall to come down with them. ...... over there."
He hesitated, "Harry and I will do the same." ”
"Don't be stupid, we're one." Brandi put his arm around Ron's shoulder in amusement, "And Riddle may be about to materialize at this time!" I don't know what the level of magic Voldemort will be at the age of 16, but it's undoubtedly stronger than the three of us combined, and only by joining forces can we be qualified to compete with him. It's time to go, guys, Neville is still waiting for us! ”
