Chapter 52: The Chamber of Secrets III

In the end, the basilisk did not choose to bite Riddle in half, but tilted his head to avoid it.

Although Riddle is a soul body and can ignore most physical attacks, what kind of existence is the basilisk?

Its eyes can even petrify ghosts, and even Horcruxes will shatter when you bite into them!

Riddle falls into its mouth, and even if it can't die, it will consume a lot of soul power.

This is also the reason why Mu Yan grabbed Riddle and ran wildly before, but the basilisk never dared to attack.

When it bites, it hurts not only the enemy, but also its master!

Riddle's body grazed the basilisk's head, arcing through the air before landing firmly on the ground.

He turned around and looked at Mu Yan in the distance, who had already taken advantage of this time to climb the ladder, with a vicious gaze.

Hiss...... Hiss......

He opened his mouth slightly, giving instructions to the basilisk.

Harry, who was standing not far away, could hear clearly that Riddle was ordering the basilisk to kill Mu Yan!

Worst!

Harry was in a hurry and was about to run to help Mu Yan, but Mu Yan's voice had already come from far away from the door of the secret room.

"Harry, you hold Riddle back, and I'll take care of it!"

Hold Riddle in tow?

Harry subconsciously looked at the figure not far away.

And Riddle, who was just about to move forward, also heard this, and his body paused in the air, and slowly turned around.

The two eyes met in the air, and Harry felt an inexplicable sense of oppression in the air.

He licked his lips and slowly raised his wand in his hand.

The anger on Riddle's face faded from Harry's actions, and an expression of interest appeared instead.

"Do you want to stop me like that, Harry?" Ignoring the battle between Mu Yan and the basilisk, Riddle approached Harry step by step, as if he didn't see the wand in Harry's hand pointed at him.

"With that wand in your hand?"

As if saying something funny, Riddle laughed to himself.

"It's not funny." Harry frowned, "I didn't expect you to be the heir to the Chamber of Secrets!" You were the one who framed Hagrid fifty years ago, right? ”

"Hagrid? Hehe......" Riddle let out a low chuckle, "you mean that memory I showed you?" ”

"Hahaha...... That's right, it's me, it's me who framed Hagrid! ”

He spread his arms as if to announce something to him, then walked up to Harry, bent down and stared into his eyes, and whispered, "But no one believes Hagrid!" Everyone thinks that he unleashed the monster in the secret room! He was the one who killed that girl! ”

"Everyone thinks that he! is the heir of the secret room!! ”

He smirked, as if sharing his beloved toy with Harry.

"But Dumbledore doesn't think so, does he?" Harry wasn't irritated by him, but responded calmly.

He remembered Hagrid telling him that it was Dumbledore's help that he had been able to get out of Azkaban and return to Hogwarts as a ranger.

"Yes, it is, only Dumbledore always believed that he was innocent!" At the mention of Dumbledore, a cold color flashed in Riddle's eyes, and he quickly regained his confident smile.

"But what's the use of that? The stupid Ministry of Magic ended up imprisoning Hagrid in Azkaban! ”

"I guess Dumbledore has seen through you for what you really are!" Harry continued, he could sense that Riddle seemed to be very interested in him, unlike Mu Yan, who had only spoken a few words and directly summoned the basilisk in a rage.

If that's the case, Harry would be willing to drag on with Riddle like this, knowing full well that he is no match for Riddle right now.

Although he hadn't seen Riddle use magic, he had seen several trophies engraved with Riddle's name in the Hogwarts Hall of Fame.

Harry didn't think he could outdo him at his half-level.

……

On the other side, Mu Yan took advantage of the basilisk's lack of reaction, and had already opened the door of the secret room with snake language, and escaped through the crack in the open door with a dodge.

A long time ago, he made several assumptions about today's situation, and also made several corresponding solutions.

In his imagination, there was nothing more favorable for him and Harry than in the books, with only Tom Riddle in the secret room.

But it backfired, the moment Riddle appeared behind them, Mu Yan's spiritual power sensed the behemoth swimming from the bottom of the water!

This is also the reason why Mu Yan did not directly attack Riddle at the beginning.

I don't know if it's because he's a half-blood, even if he stands on the shore, he can clearly feel the killing machine of the basilisk firmly locked on his body!

He knew that if he dared to make any rash moves, the basilisk hidden in the water would definitely attack him at the first opportunity!

So he could only wait patiently for his chance, for either Riddle or the basilisk to let their guard down.

Fortunately, Riddle understood his difficulties in time, not only did he not let the basilisk sneak attack, but also forcibly let it come out of the water and pose, which gave Mu Yan a chance to take advantage of!

Mu Yan, who seized the opportunity, naturally divided the battlefield as soon as possible.

In fact, if it comes to going it alone, Mu Yan will not be afraid of either Riddle or the basilisk, this is not to say how strong he is, but he knows very well where their weaknesses are, and has prepared many means for them.

But this is only one-on-one, Mu Yan knows that the combined strength of Riddle and the Basilisk is definitely stronger than him and Harry combined!

Dividing the battlefield and letting Harry hold Riddle in tow was the best option in this situation.

Once again, darkness engulfed Mu Yan.

Reciting a spell silently in his mouth, a dazzling ball of light appeared in Mu Yan's hand, illuminating his face.

Mu Yan threw it gently!

The ball of light immediately left Mu Yan's palm, slowly rose into the sky, and then suspended in midair.

Without a pause, Mu Yan ran forward while chanting a spell, throwing five balls of light in a row, almost illuminating the entire underground space!

However, it is worth noting that Mu Yan did not place the ball of light in the middle of the underground space, but next to the surrounding rock walls, so that the ball of light was scattered to all corners!

In this way, the entire space can be illuminated, and all the jagged shadows around it can be brought together in the middle!

Stepping on a shadow, Mu Yan felt the active fluctuations of the shadow element under his feet.

Nodding in satisfaction.

Bang!

The door to the chamber was slammed open.

The basilisk chased after him, his two big eyes were like two big golden lanterns, and as soon as he came out of the secret room, he firmly locked on Mu Yan's figure under the light and shadow.

"Looks like you can't wait!"

Feeling the killing intent coming from the basilisk, Mu Yan smiled softly, and there was no tension on his face.

He took a deep breath and his fingers began to carve in the air, low incantations coming out of his mouth, and a glimmer of fire flickered in his hands.

"Since you want my life so much, then take it! I'd love to know as well...... What kind of person am I now! ”

After saying the last word, scorching flames erupted and shot straight towards the basilisk's massive head!

The surging firelight dyed almost the entire cavern orange-red, and the temperature in the small space rose rapidly!

In the face of such a greeting gift, the basilisk only hesitated slightly, then closed its mouth and eyes, and plunged into the oncoming torrent of flames!

Tut!

The basilisk's movements were clearly reflected in Mu Yan's mental power, which made him smash his mouth very unpleasantly.

The magic of the Harry Potter world is not good at this, and the power of creature with rough skin and thick flesh is greatly reduced.

You must know that this is the only magic that Mu Yan has learned in this world that involves the use of elements, but even such a magic will at most increase the temperature of the scale armor on the basilisk's body by a few points, and it is not effective at all!

If it is replaced by other pure magic magic, it will probably be directly bounced off by the scale armor on the basilisk!

As far as Mu Yan knows, the scale armor on the basilisk's body has the same effect as dragon scales reflecting pure magic magic!

The basilisk's massive head sprang out of the flames.

When it opened its eyes, it found that there was no figure around, and there were patches of black fog around it!

This black fog is actually very faint, and the light around it can still clearly outline the shadows on the ground.

If it weren't for the basilisk's eyes, which can see a lot of light that ordinary people can't see, they probably wouldn't have noticed it.

It shook its head.

There was not a single figure in the surrounding space!

The basilisk swam slowly, and it knew that Mu Yan had not gone far in this space.

Even though it didn't see anything, its nose could easily pick out the scent of a half-blood wizard!

It knew that Mu Yan was nearby!

But I don't know if it was affected by these black fogs floating in the air, and the basilisk couldn't use his sense of smell to lock on to Mu Yan's exact location.

So it chose to stop in the middle of the space, gradually coiling its body, and tried to stick out its slender tongue.

The scarlet snake shuddered in the air and quickly retracted it.

Unlike normal snakes, the basilisk can sense the strength of the magic around it, which is why it has been able to bypass the Hogwarts professor and attack the students many times!

But today, this trick is destined to fail.

Mu Yan's own magic power is not strong, coupled with the interference of the "Corrosion Mist", under Mu Yan's deliberate suppression, there is nothing else in the basilisk's induction except for the six dazzling points of light on the surrounding walls.

Noticing nothing, the basilisk had a hint of human annoyance in its eyes, and it stuck out its tongue again, this time intending to keep it in the air for a little longer, to make it feel something more.

However, the moment its tongue was sticking out, a scorching light shot out from its oblique side!

The target is the basilisk's scarlet soft tongue!
