They cautiously followed the twists and turns, and at the end of the road they found a once-enclosed wall carved into the wall with two intertwined snakes, and several emeralds of emerald glittering strange colors were embedded in their eyes.

Seeing this scene, Danas and the others looked at Harry beside him in unison.

This time, without being asked, Harry knew what he had to do.

He cleared his throat and fixed his gaze on the emerald that reflected green light in the fluorescent flicker, and then let out the gloomy, hoarse hiss of the Parseltongue.

The next moment, the two entwined snake-shaped carvings seemed to come to life, and the snake hyacinth spitting stone crawled along the wall and separated, and the stone wall in front of it also heard a rumbling sound, and the whole wall cracked in the middle and slowly moved to both sides.

As the stone wall opened, a faint light lit up from the front.

Danas looked at each other with Harry and the others, and then walked in together.

It was an empty and dimly lit secret room, and on both sides of the room stood a large number of thick pillars, on which were carved coiled and entwined snakes, and the ceiling was high and could not be seen, but could only dissolve into a darkness, and the dim light shone from an unknown place, as if distorted by the darkness of the roof.

Danas and Harry walked in first, and Harry looked up and looked warily at the pillars on either side, fearing that the basilisk was hiding on one of the pillars, or in the darkness behind them.

"Hmm...... What does it taste like? ”

Ron walked in with a look of disgust, followed by Hermione, who was also pinching her nose.

Smelling the rotting dampness in the air, Harry pursed his lips.

"It's normal for a secret room that hasn't been cleaned in fifty years to smell like this, right, Danas?"

Harry turned his head and saw that Danas had gone a long way, and the three of them looked at each other, and hurriedly followed suit, alternating and overlapping footsteps echoing hollowly through the empty room.

After catching up, Harry hurriedly asked.

"Danas, what did you find?"

Danas didn't speak, he tilted his head slightly, reached out and pointed forward.

Harry and the others looked in the direction he was pointing, and suddenly saw a towering statue of the ceiling overhead, with a wrinkled face, a long, sparse and curly beard, and a stone-carved wizard's robe without any frills.

"This ...... It's ......"

Harry, Ron, and Hermione's eyes widened, and a wizard's name popped up in their minds.

"That's right, this is the Slytherin statue."

Danas tilted his head, a hint of emotion in his tone.

But then, he turned to look at the three Harrys who were in shock.

"Don't think about it, it's just a statue, it's time to set up the scene!"

“…… Layout? ”

The three Harry came to their senses and looked at each other.

……

……

On the other side, Lin Yi and Dumbledore had already appeared in the tunnel.

Dumbledore held the wand in his hand, the flickering light at the end of the wand illuminated most of the tunnel, and Lin Yi opened the silver-white vertical pupils again, these eyes also have the effect of night vision.

Walking in this dark and damp tunnel, both of them tacitly did not mention the matter of Fang Cai.

But Dumbledore still peeked at Lin Yi's silver-white vertical pupils from time to time, because Fawkes on his shoulders had been restless since Lin Yi had changed to this state.

Dumbledore was puzzled, but Lin Yi knew the reason for this.

Because after he transferred to the Sword Soul, his life essence has been improved, and all creatures that still have animal instincts will instinctively have a trace of fear and obedience to him.

This kind of awe is purely the suppression of the origin of life, and it will not change because of Lin Yi's appearance and size.

Of course, the little phoenix fox is not an ordinary creature, in its eyes, Lin Yi is a creature whose life essence is equal to it, but its strength is far greater than his, so it will show such a rich expression in front of Lin Yi.

To some extent, Fox treats Lin Yi as a "kind" in a broader sense.

Lin Yi smiled at Fawkes, who tilted his bird's head and stared at Lin Yi's vertical pupils with a pair of bird's eyes.

Suddenly, Dumbledore stopped, his brow furrowed slightly.

Lin Yi also stopped.

"What's wrong?"

"There's a basilisk shed skin in front."

"Oh?"

Lin Yi's eyes lit up, and he walked quickly past Dumbledore, and a pair of silver-white vertical pupils instantly locked onto the huge snakeskin that swirled and curled on the ground.

It is a snakeskin about six meters long, the inside and outside of the snakeskin are green, and there are fine dark green scales attached to it, and the whole snakeskin is curled as if it was before molting, except for a crack the thickness of a little finger at the top, which at first glance looks like a real giant snake that is sleeping.

Lin Yi squatted down and stroked the fine scales on it with his palm.

"This basilisk has molted lately?" Lin Yi asked out loud.

"No, not recently." Dumbledore shook his head, "A thousand years have passed since Slytherin built this chamber, and in terms of the life span of the basilisk, it has already grown to the natural limit of fifty feet of the basilisk, and it may even exceed this limit, and the snakeskin in your hand is only twenty feet long, so ......"

"So this is supposed to be the skin he used to molt?"

Lin Yi looked thoughtful.

Speaking of which, for a venomous snake, the length of six meters is already very exaggerated, but for a basilisk who has lived for nearly a thousand years, such a length is really a bit of a loss of identity, no matter how you say it, it has to be a double digit......

…… Eh, wait!

Lin Yi's eyes suddenly lit up.

Since this basilisk has been in the secret room for a thousand years, it must not be possible to shed only one skin, so there should be snakeskin shed by the basilisk in other stages in the secret room!

Thinking of this, Lin Yi stretched out his hand and put the huge snake skin in front of him into the inventory, and then stood up casually, and said in a relaxed tone.

"Let's go~"

…… What when I can't see?

Dumbledore stared at him with black lines, but Lin Yi's face was far thicker than he thought.

Never mind......

Anyway, there was more than one such thing in the secret room, and Dumbledore pretended not to see it.

But at this moment, a violent tremor suddenly came from the tunnel ahead.

The two immediately looked at each other - the basilisk was released!

Dumbledore didn't hesitate any longer, swung his staff and cast a few protective spells on Fawkes, and then watched as it flapped its wings and flew into the tunnel ahead with a golden trail.

……

……

On the other side, Harry Potter's eyes widened and he looked at the sky in shock.

I saw a loud noise from the huge Slytherin statue, and the face of the giant stone sculpture with a solemn expression slowly opened its mouth, and a gloomy and hoarse hissing sound came from it.

It's a basilisk!

Without hesitation, Harry turned around and ran with Ron beside him in the direction of the stone pillars on either side.

Ron struggled to speak as he ran.

"Merlin's beard, what did Danas say to you?"

Harry's heart was pounding, too, and he replied with great difficulty.

"He asked me to say a word in a parseltongue to the statue."

"What?"

"Speak to me, Slytherin, the greatest of the Hogwarts Four."
