In the dark, the four of them walked to the depths of the pipe, the road in the pipe was extremely sticky and slippery, and it was very difficult to maintain balance, and there were many pipes around that branched out in all directions, but none of them were as thick as this pipe. 【Fengyun Reading Network. This pipe of theirs twists and turns, and the slope is very steep all the way down. Loki felt like he had slipped deep into the school's ground, a cold aura surrounding him, and a cool air poured out from his feet.

"This place must have been a few miles underground into the school, and the Chamber of Secrets was built in such a remote place, it seems that Salazar is really quite weird." Augustus looked at the dark space in front of him and said lightly.

"In fact, from the location of the Slytherin common room, it is not difficult to see that he has a kind of extraordinary preference for the underground, and the fact that the secret room is built so deep underground can be explained." Loki smiled slightly, he was not at all interested in the founder of Slytherin.

"Probably under the lake now." Ron said. He narrowed his eyes and surveyed the black, slimy walls around him.

Walking further, there was no light at all, and Loki took out his wand, "Fluorescent flicker!" In a low voice, a faint blue light flashed, and the walls of the secret passage reflected the light and illuminated the shadows of several people.

As the group continued to walk, the road became more and more tortuous, and the bones of some small animals began to appear underground, most of them rats, and some strange-shaped bones, which could not tell what species they belonged to.

"Wait, what's ahead." Loki suddenly stopped, looking alarmingly at a shadow not far away, and several people stopped, the silhouette of a coiled behemoth in front of them, lying motionless on the other side of the tunnel.

"Don't panic, it's just the skin of the basilisk that has faded." Augustus smiled slightly, the scope of the Eye of Inquiry is now one mile, even if there is no light, objects within a mile are indispensable, for a mage, vision is a very important element, as long as you master the vision, you can be invincible.

Although Augustus's words relieved Harry slightly, the huge shadow ahead still made them palpitate. Loki took his wand and walked cautiously forward, the light shining on a huge snakeskin, green and bright, at first glance it looked like the skin of a poisonous snake, coiled on the floor of the tunnel, and the inside was empty. Apparently, the animal that had just shed this layer of skin was at least twenty feet long.

"Oh my God." Ron sighed feebly.

"That's the length of the basilisk?" Harry had shock in his eyes, such a huge monster, with their strength, could they really rescue Ginny smoothly?

"That's it, I thought the legendary secret room basilisk was terrifying, just looking at its skin, you can see that it's just a large python." Loki pursed his lips and said with a little disappointment, before he came, he was quite afraid of this basilisk, but when he really saw the skin it had peeled off, he felt a little less suspicious in his heart.

"For this kind of monster that has survived for thousands of years, no matter how it is, it should not be taken lightly, like these basilisks that have evolved for so long, the survival skills they have mastered must be endless, so it is better to be jealous." Augustus slightly reminded Loki that although the strength of the basilisk is unknown, it is really taboo to underestimate the enemy before the war, and the lion still does his best to fight the rabbit, not to mention this old monster that has existed for thousands of years.

Loki nodded, and the group walked past the giant snakeskin, and the tunnel turned and turned. At last they carefully turned another bend and found a sturdy wall in front of them, carved with two intertwined snakes, their eyes studded with large, shining emeralds.

"It's your time again, Harry." Loki waved at Harry, motioning for him to come over.

Harry guessed what he had to do. He cleared his throat, and the emerald eyes seemed to flicker.

"Open." Harry said in a low, hoarse hiss.

The two snakes separated, and the stone wall cracked in the middle and slowly slid to both sides and disappeared. A few people gathered their moods and walked slowly along the parting wall.

They stood on the side of a long, dimly lit room. Many stone pillars carved with coiled snakes towered to support the ceiling that melted into the darkness of the heights, casting long, eerie black shadows on the entire room filled with green and mystery.

"This architectural style is undoubtedly the type of construction of the secret chamber, it seems that we have reached our destination, these stone pillars are quite interesting, have you noticed it, the arrangement of these stone pillars is a kind of magic combination" Augustus looked around at the scattered stone pillars around him, and touched his chin with interest.

"It's really Slytherin's style, and I remember reading in a book that Slytherin architecture has always been a one-way street, and all the types are in line with Salazar's philosophy." Loki nodded, groaning slightly, the various facilities in the room in front of him were similar to those in the Slytherin common room.

The group continued to walk along the stone pillar, Harry's heart pounding, and he walked slowly, was the basilisk lurking in the dark corner behind some stone pillar? Where is Ginny? Every careful step he took created a hollow, loud echo between the four walls of the ghostly buildings. He kept squinting, ready to close his eyes tightly at the slightest hint of wind. He always felt that the empty eye sockets of the two stone snakes were always following him. More than once, he seemed to see some movement, and his stomach was so nervous that his stomach spasmed.

He glanced at Augustus in front of him, the dark blue light in Loki's wand reflected Augustus's back unusually tall, Harry was slightly reassured, with Augustus here, even the legendary basilisk no longer had much deterrence, for Augustus, Harry had always had a blind trust. Continuing to follow the group, when they reached the last pair of stone pillars, a statue as tall as the room itself appeared, clinging to the dark wall behind it. Harry had to crane his neck high to see the huge face above: an old, monkey-like face, a long, sparse beard that dragged almost all the way to the hem of a stone-carved wizard's robe, two large gray feet standing on the smooth floor of the room.

"This is the statue of Salazar? It's really better to be famous than to meet, I didn't expect our Slytherin founders to be like this, I have to say, there are indeed some regrets. Loki looked at the huge statue in front of him with amusement.

Augustus was silent, obviously he didn't expect the founder of Slytherin to be so graceful, any wizard who can reach the legendary realm should not be underestimated, but he didn't expect Salazar Slytherin, who has always been known as a pure-blood nobleman, to look like this. Although people can't be good-looking, Salazar's dignity can indeed be described in four words, in short, it is unsightly.
