Chapter 53: The Chamber of Secrets IV
The basilisk reacted so quickly that the moment its tongue received the signal that a dense mana was approaching, it immediately retracted its tongue back into its mouth, and then slammed headlong in the direction from which the mana fluctuations came from without hesitation!
Completely ignore the oncoming ball of hot magical light!
Obviously, relying on his rough skin and thick flesh, the basilisk didn't pay attention to Mu Yan's attack at all!
The scorching light flickered through the small space, then slammed into the basilisk's smooth scales.
The basilisk paused slightly, its head raised slightly, and the blasting spell, which had become extremely unstable, was like a ray of light shining into a mirror, gliding across the dark scale armor and bouncing off in the other direction!
Rumble!
Rubble continued to fall from the top of the cavern, striking the basilisk's massive body with a crackling sound on the pieces of iron, and the dust that had been blown into powder further reduced the visibility of the space.
Syllable!
The basilisk's mouth opens wide to the extreme, and it bites down again!
But nothing!
The basilisk froze for a moment when it felt dry like dust, and then a large amount of saliva mixed with poison came out, cleaning its sensitive tongue.
It was pretty sure that the prey's breath had indeed appeared in this position.
But why is it gone?
There was silence again, except for the crackling of falling rocks, except for the rustle of iron scales rubbing against the ground.
The basilisk stuck out its tongue and sensed the area carefully, and the surrounding magic fluctuations that had not yet fully dissipated were reflected in its mind one by one.
Gradually, a path so dim that it was hard to discern appeared in its mind!
It's the mana fluctuations that the guy left in the air!
The basilisk trembled its tongue rapidly, with great difficulty to identify the path that could disappear at any time, and then slowly turned back in the direction of the path!
At that moment, another slender wave of mana appeared on its side!
The basilisk tried to twist its head, but it was obviously too late, and the translucent light that came out of nowhere had already shot into front of the basilisk with a speed faster than the blasting charm!
Almost instantaneously, you'll hit the basilisk on the head!
The basilisk's body swam quickly, but it had no intention of dodging at all, this level of magic had not yet been taken into account!
It opens its mouth and makes a silent hiss!
Regardless of the oncoming Split Spell, waving the giant tail is a sweep!
Boom!
Rumble!
Two voices rang out at the same time.
The former is a snake's tail hitting the surrounding rock pillars, smashing the tail of the rock pillars. The latter is the sound of the Split Charm being bounced off the rock formation above by the basilisk's scale armor, shattering pieces of rock.
The cavern was filled with dust again, this time so thick that it almost obscured the surrounding light!
Mu Yan's breath disappeared again!
The basilisk tried to stick out its tongue to continue the senses, but the shattered rock fell from above and crackled on its head, making it feel a little irritated.
Hiss......
It hissed softly, slowly retracted its body, and entrenched itself in the middle of the cave, its erected body leaning back slightly, stretched into an S shape, like a taut spring, and no one would doubt the strength and speed of its burst the moment it spotted its prey!
After two failures, the basilisk also learned to behave, after all, it has also lived for more than 900 years, and it still has some wisdom.
It knows that at times like these, it is best to adapt to change!
Spitting scarlet snake hyacinth, the basilisk tilted its head like a radar that scans around, silently sensing the fluctuations of magic around it.
As the dust in the cavern settled, the surrounding light began to become clearer, and the staggered shadows reappeared on the ground.
The basilisk waited silently, without the slightest impatience.
As a good predator, patience and calmness are must-haves!
Ten seconds, twenty seconds, thirty seconds......
Suddenly, a faint fluctuation appeared in its perception!
The movement of the basilisk is abruptly certain!
In the next moment, the dust surged, and the air around it seemed to be torn apart by a huge force, and the basilisk's body instantly turned into an afterimage!
When it was visible again, the terrifying bloody mouth had appeared directly above it!
On the sharp fangs, the pale green liquid reflects a terrifying light!
……
In the secret room, listening to the loud noises coming from outside from time to time, Harry and Riddle's faces were different.
Harry's face was anxious, and Riddle was calm.
Although Harry had always had an inexplicable confidence in Mu Yan, this time the basilisk's huge body and hideous appearance were too intimidating, making him involuntarily a little worried.
His anxiety fell into Riddle's eyes, which made the ridicule in Riddle's heart a little more aggravated.
"Don't worry, it'll be over soon!"
Riddle's flat tone seemed to state the fact, "No one can escape the basilisk's mouth, not even me!" ”
He pointed to himself, apparently to himself, who was only sixteen years old.
Although he also admits that Mu Yan is indeed excellent in some aspects, these are not enough for Mu Yan to survive the basilisk pursuit!
Besides, Mu Yan didn't even have a wand necessary for a wizard!
Riddle knew how powerful the basilisk was, and no matter how many spells Mu Yan had learned, with his little magic power, he wouldn't even be qualified to pose a threat to the basilisk!
"Actually, I'm curious, why didn't you get killed by the basilisk's gaze!" Riddle looked thoughtful as he walked around Harry.
From beginning to end, his attention had been on Harry, and Mu Yan was a dispensable minor character for him.
"I know, you looked at the basilisk the moment it appeared, Harry!" He turned to look at Harry.
"What the hell protects you!" He stared at Harry as he stepped closer.
"Just like 11 years ago!"
"11 years ago?" Harry asked, confused, he remembered that he was only 11 years old now!
Could it be...... He thought of a possibility in an instant.
"Yes, 11 years ago!" Riddle's tone began to grow sharper, "A baby with no outstanding magical talent has defeated the greatest wizard of all time!" ”
"How the hell did you do that, Harry?"
"What made it possible for you to get out of the way, leaving only a scar on your forehead, while Voldemort was destroyed?"
"What protects you, Harry?" Riddle looked excited, the peace on his face had long since disappeared, it seemed that these questions had been bothering him for years, and he couldn't wait to know the answer now!
"Why are you so concerned about me? You didn't show up before Voldemort appeared! Harry was puzzled, since he had seen Riddle in the secret room, he had felt the strange attention of the other party, as if the other party's target had been him in the first place!
"No, no, no!" Riddle shook his head with a mysterious and eerie smile on his face, "Voldemort is my past, present, and future!" ”
He turned around and used his wand to write Tom Marvolo Riddle's name in the air, and with a wave of his hand, the characters in the air rearranged, and when he stopped, Harry looked over and the words in the air had changed to "I am Voldemort"!
"You...... You're Lord Voldemort! Harry was surprised.
He finally knew why Riddle was so interested in him, and he was the memory of Voldemort's sixteenth year!
"Or else? You think I'm going to keep that dirty father's last name? Riddle laughed, "I named myself!" ”
"When one day I become the greatest wizard in the world, everyone will be filled with fear and awe when they hear my name!"
As if to echo Riddle's grand ideals, Riddle's words had just finished when a series of explosions came from outside the secret room, followed by the continuous rumble of the cave collapsing!
The earth shakes and the mountains shake!
At this moment, the entire secret room also shook slightly!
Harry and Riddle took a few steps back at the same time, both looking in surprise in the direction of the entrance to the chamber.
What the hell is going on out there? How did you make such a huge movement?
A few seconds passed.
Click......
The sound of the entrance to the chamber turning was heard from afar.
At this voice, Harry's face gradually appeared with joy, and Riddle's face gradually sank, as if he had guessed what was happening.
Although the basilisk also speaks snake language as a snake, it will never enter the chamber through this door, and will normally go straight back to its lair through another passage.
Of course, it's also possible that the basilisk knew that Harry was still here and wanted to come over and help, so he chose to enter through the main entrance.
Riddle clenched his wand tightly in his hand with the last shred of hope in his heart.
Click!
The iron door finally opened,
A thin, gray-faced figure rushed in from the outside!
"Mu Yan!" Harry exclaimed excitedly.
A few minutes ago......
The basilisk that bit down finally felt the feeling of biting the real thing in its mouth.
However, it is a pity that the imaginary soft feeling did not come from between the teeth, but a strong metallic smell passed down its tongue into its mind!
Worst!
The basilisk burst out of his heart!
But before it could react, the moment its mouth closed, a violent wave of mana erupted from the metal ball!
Bang!
With a muffled sound, the basilisk only felt that his entire vision began to tremble, and his head was buzzing!
Then, in its chaotic perception, the breath that belonged to the prey finally appeared not far from it.
In the next instant, continuous magical fluctuations erupted from there!
Almost two in a group, what a blasting spell, a split spell, a crushing bone, a piercing spell...... All the magic that has made achievements in attack has been thrown out of Mu Yan's hands one after another at this moment!
The huge explosion sounded in one piece, and although each magic contained not much magic power, the density of magic at this moment would definitely make all the professors feel ashamed!
