Chapter 242: Basilisk

Is this the password that Slytherin set back then?

Ron's eyes widened, and a hint of irony welled up in his heart.

"I used to think he was a paranoid, but I didn't expect him to be a narcissist."

Ron had just sneered when he heard a loud roar of a heavy object falling behind him, and the floor of the entire chamber seemed to tremble.

Feeling the ground shake, Ron immediately shut his mouth and concentrated on escaping with Harry.

Hiss –

A giant fifteen-meter-long serpent landed on the ground in front of the Slytherin statue, its massive head raised high, swallowing a scarlet snake the size of an adult's arm, and a pair of bright yellow snake pupils passed over Harry and Ron as they ran, locking onto a stone pillar.

Hiss –

The basilisk swallowed the scarlet snake letter, its head drooped, and its huge body quickly crawled forward.

Hearing the basilisk's voice, Harry's eyes widened suddenly, and he almost stumbled and fell to the ground under his feet, but fortunately, Ron next to him helped him in time, which did not let him really fall.

"Harry, be careful!"

Ron said quickly.

"This way!"

Danas, hiding behind a stone pillar on the left, shouted, and Ron didn't hesitate to run towards Danas, but Harry hesitated, gritted his teeth, and ran towards his right.

Danaston's eyes widened.

"What are you doing?!"

"Go save Hermione! It's going to kill Hermione! ”

Harry shouted loudly, and his figure sped towards where Hermione was hiding.

Hermione?

Hearing Harry's shout, Danas was stunned and immediately shocked.

It occurred to him that the basilisk in the original book would hunt down Harry because Tom Riddle's memory in the diary had given it an order to "kill Harry", but now Tom Riddle had no chance to give orders to the basilisk, so in the mind of this basilisk, wizards with Muggle blood were its most important targets.

Why didn't you think of it before?

Danas was annoyed.

The basilisk has a very keen sense of smell, and this thousand-year-old basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets can even distinguish Muggle blood from wizards with its nose, so it must have smelled Hermione!

As soon as Danas flashed out of the stone pillar, he heard the sound of a heavy object scraping against the ground that was getting closer and closer, and a fishy wind with a hissing sound approached here, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he grabbed Ron, who was going to save Hermione, and pulled him behind the stone pillar.

"......"

Before Ron could utter a word, Danas covered his mouth with his hand.

His eyes widened and he struggled hard, but he was no match for Danas, who had practiced Qi, and with just one hand, Danas easily clamped all his arms.

"Shh

Danas kept his voice as low as he could, and Ron gradually stopped his movements, as he could already hear the sound of the basilisk's heavy body squirming slowly across the ground.

The two of them hid behind the stone pillar, holding their breath and concentrating, and they didn't dare to take a breath.

At the same time, the figures of Harry and Hermione emerged from between the stone pillars on the right, and the two men ran towards the pipe they had come from in a panic, but the giant basilisk had already seen them.

Hiss –

The basilisk's voice suddenly became sharp, and its heavy, massive body suddenly rushed forward, slamming into Harry and Hermione's direction with a fishy wind.

Bang –

The cracking of the stone pillar was heard, mixed with a few girl's screams.

Ron couldn't help it for a moment, and struggled hard, and Danas stopped exerting his strength and let go of his hand with Ron's strength - he was only worried that the reckless Ron would accidentally make eye contact with the basilisk, but now that the basilisk had passed by them, with its bulky body and attention to Hermione, it was likely that it would not look back at Ron.

"We must save them!"

As soon as he let go, Ron shouted in a panic.

"I know! I know! Danas put his hands on Ron's shoulders and said with a serious expression, "Listen to Ron, now that we've exchanged duties, you and Hermione will be responsible for bringing it here, and I'll be responsible for casting the spell, understand?" ”

Ron was infected by Danas's look, and his chaotic mind calmed down.

At that moment, he nodded hurriedly, but his face was still anxious.

"Swap of Duties...... Okay, I understand, but how can I help them? Looks like the big guy has his eyes on Hermione, and it's so much faster than all of us! ”

"Use this!"

Danas reached out and took out a mobile phone, quickly opened the local music software, turned up the volume of the mobile phone to the maximum, and then stuffed it into Ron's hand, and quickly instructed.

"There's an audio of a rooster crowing in here, and you'll use this to scare the basilisk later, but you have to pay attention, the audio is just audio after all, and it doesn't have the magic that can hurt the basilisk except for the audio segment in the physical sense, so you must hurry up and run in this direction while the basilisk is frightened, do you understand?"

"Understood!" Ron nodded vigorously.

Danas tapped him on the shoulder, and the two began to go their separate ways.

Bang –

There was another loud pop, and a thick stone pillar was knocked out of a dent by the basilisk's heavy body, and the rubble fell from the broken stone pillar with a clatter.

It was too loud, too empty, and the echo was so loud that Harry and Hermione couldn't tell where the basilisk was, so they could only run around the pillar with their heads shut.

But the great shadow behind them was still slowly but surely chasing them.

It's not that Harry hasn't tried to command the basilisk with the Parseltongue, but the basilisk doesn't pay any attention to Harry's orders and just chases after Hermione, so Harry guesses that in front of the two Parseltongues, the basilisk will only obey the orders of the previous one.

Hiss –

The basilisk slashed scarlet snake hyacinth and slid quickly across the ground, its bright yellow pupils as huge as lanterns staring at the little girl with fluffy sideburns.

At this moment, the sound of a rooster crowing sounded from behind the basilisk, and the basilisk, which was originally prostrate, instantly stood up, shook its head in disbelief, and looked left and right.

It works!

Ron gritted his teeth and threw the phone in his hand at the basilisk.

"Die! You monster! ”

The rooster's crowing suddenly grew louder and louder, and the basilisk finally panicked, and let out a high-pitched hissing sound of intimidation, and then quickly slid away in the opposite direction of the source of the sound, without having time to think about why there was not the slightest magic in the unpleasant chirping of the snake.

The basilisk's voice quickly faded away, and Harry and Hermione stopped in front of the pipe, somewhat bewildered.

"Harry! Hermione! This way! ”

A muffled voice came faintly, Harry and Hermione turned around and saw Ron waving his arms constantly, Harry did not hesitate, and hurriedly turned around and ran towards Ron.

As Harry and Hermione ran in front of him, Ron hurriedly explained.

"It was just a rooster crow recorded on a Muggle phone, there is no magic, the basilisk will find out the problem sooner or later, we better keep running and continue to follow Danas's plan, but Hermione and his duties have been reversed, understand?"

"Understood!"

"Then run!"

The three of them turned and ran towards the stone pillar they had agreed upon.

On the other side, the basilisk that had slipped to the corner of the hall suddenly stopped, its heavy but flexible head turned one hundred and eighty degrees in mid-air, looking in the direction where the voice came from, and there was a trace of human doubt in the bright yellow snake pupils.

The sound of the rooster crowing has disappeared at some point.

And this sound, which was supposed to have a fatal effect on him, didn't hurt it in the slightest, except for annoying the snake.

The basilisk suddenly realized that something was wrong, and it let out a high-pitched scream of rage, and then spun around on the ground, its massive head prostrate down, sliding in the direction it had come from.
