Chapter 52: Raiders Secret Room 3

After resting for a while, everyone had recovered to 100%, and under the undivided gaze of everyone, Harry approached the stone gate step by step, and then made the two stone snakes hypothetical real as required, but they didn't really need it, because the craftsmanship of these two snakes was very high, and their eyes looked exactly like they were alive.

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

The two snakes parted, the stone wall cracking in the middle and slowly sliding to both sides and disappearing, while Harry was pulled behind by Lupin and Sirius to protect him as the stone door opened.

Behind the stone door was a long, dimly lit room, with many stone pillars carved with coiled serpents, towering to support the ceiling that melted into the darkness of the heights, casting long, eerie black shadows over the whole room filled with green and mystery.

Everyone's hearts were pounding, and everyone stood cautiously behind the door, listening to the chilling silence, imagining if the basilisk was lurking in a dark corner behind some stone pillar.

Even Ning Yuan clenched the wand in his hand, he wasn't sure if the basilisk would have escaped if someone summoned him like in the novel, if the basilisk was wandering around there now......

Harry and Hagrid were left outside, and everyone else drew their wands and slowly made their way through the serpent's coiled stone pillars. Every cautious step they took created a hollow, loud echo between the four walls of the ghostly buildings. Even though everyone was wearing the magical defense glasses that Nick Lemay had urgently modified, the millennial basilisk's fame kept them squinting, ready to close their eyes tightly at the slightest hint of trouble.

When he walked parallel to the last pair of stone columns, a statue as tall as the room itself appeared, clinging to the dark wall behind it.

It was an old, monkey-like face, a long beard that dragged almost all the way to the hem of a wizard's robe carved out of stone, and two large gray feet stood on the smooth floor of the room, looking ridiculously funny.

"There are no basilisks or magic traps for the time being!" It was Mad-Eye Moody, who was constantly using the MONOCULUS to explore the room!

Hearing his words, everyone relaxed a lot, only Dumbledore looked at the statue and didn't know what he was thinking, and after a while, everyone had already checked all over the room, and nothing was seen, let alone a basilisk, not even a single snake scale. The whole chamber was empty, but it was very clean, not even a little dust, as if it was constantly cleaned.

"Looks like the basilisk is still in there!" Ning Yuan looked at this featureless so-called secret room, turned his head and said to the silent Dumbledore.

"Yes, obviously, it looks like we need Harry's help too!" Dumbledore said undeniably.

Harry was then brought to the statue by Hagrid again, but this time there was no snake-like decoration, and everyone was a little confused.

"Harry, look at the statue's face and say to him, 'Speak to me, Slytherin, the greatest of the Hogwarts Four!'" Dumbledore explained.

Everyone looked at the statue in disbelief, and this lewd old man who lived like a monkey was the legendary Slytherin.

"So Slytherin looks like this, hey, I'll tell all Slytherins about my true appearance when I get back!" Sirius pouted, but his eyes were on Snape, meaning look, Slytherin looked like this.

Humans, in fact, are essentially visual animals, they like beautiful things and hate ugly things.

Even in the wizarding world today, more people still believe that the Big Four were all handsome men and women when they were young, such as Gryffindor, who in the eyes of many people, was a knight with heroic and resolute appearance, and Slytherin was a reference to the feminine and handsome nature of the aristocracy.

I don't know if those pure-blood families who are rich in appearance and look at people with their chins will be so angry that they vomit blood when they know that Slytherin's appearance is actually so obscene, this is Sirius's current thoughts.

Even Voldemort, not to mention the handsomeness he inherited from Tom Sr., but his disfigured appearance can at least be called terrifying and terrifying, which can deter those pure-blood families.

But what does this "Slytherin" say, he doesn't see the horror of the legendary dark wizard at all, on the contrary, he has a lewd aura all over his body, like an ugly-looking monkey.

However, whether this statue is Slytherin himself or not is not the focus of everyone's discussion now, so even after listening to Sirius's words, Snape, who looked at the statue with a much uglier face, just glared at a certain big dog who insulted Slytherin viciously, and did not start the "tearing war" as usual.

Soon, Harry, who was in a good state of mind, looked at the statue and began to speak, but probably because the statue was not a snake, he instinctively spoke human language, not snake language.

It took several attempts in a row to utter pure snake language for the last time.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone saw Slytherin's huge stone face move. Harry was horrified to see its mouth open and widen, eventually forming a huge black hole. As if something was moving in the statue's mouth, there was a rustling sound from the depths of the statue.

When they heard this, their faces changed dramatically, and Hyglach Harry ran towards the stone gate, while the other combatants hid behind the stone pillars, and then looked at the statue's position out of the corner of their eyes.

Sure enough, soon, a behemoth slammed down on the stone floor, and everyone felt the chamber tremble, and the huge basilisk, all green and shining, shone with the brilliant light peculiar to a poisonous snake, and its body was as thick as the trunk of an oak tree. Perhaps sensing the humans in the chamber, the basilisk let out a frantic hiss, and then the sound of the basilisk's heavy body sliding on the ground rang out in the chamber.

"Fawkes!" Dumbledore, who was hiding with Ning Yuan, called.

Instantly, the sound of music wafted from nowhere. The music is getting louder and louder, the sound is illusory, ethereal and mysterious, and it is exciting to listen to. It seemed to make Ning Yuan's scalp stand up, making his atrium swell twice as much. The music grew louder and louder, and finally Ning Yuan felt as if it was vibrating in his chest.

At this moment, a golden flame suddenly appeared in the middle of the secret room. A golden-red bird suddenly descended from the sky, the size of a crane, playing its strange music on the vaulted ceiling, with a golden tail, as long as a peacock's tail, and a pair of golden claws.

"Go, Fawkes!" Dumbledore commanded in a loud voice.

Hearing Dumbledore's orders, and perhaps birds and snakes not dealing with each other, Fawkes was seen circling around the head of the basilisk, and the basilisk angrily pounced on the phoenix, its mouth showing its thin and long fangs like a saber.

Fawkes swooped down, its long golden beak digging into the basilisk's head, and in an instant, a stream of black blood splattered onto the ground like a shower. The basilisk's tail wagged wildly, purring in pain through the chamber. And its tail kept hitting the stone pillar where everyone was hiding, and many times it almost hit the people who almost didn't have time to dodge.

Seeing that the basilisk was blind, all those present seized the opportunity and threw something out of their waist pocket. Subsequently, several enlarged spells hit the object that was thrown out.

Immediately afterwards, the basilisk was twisted in a clump, like the vines and plants of the small snake were firmly tied, and the layers of devil nets tied the huge basilisk into a snake dumpling almost instantly. The Devil's Web is a vine plant that is capable of extending tendrils like snakes around those who come close to it, causing injury or death to the characters. This is also the plant used in the first level of the Savior's cultivation plan arranged by Dumbledore in the first year, this plant is not much dangerous for those who know it, if it is involved, as long as the whole body is no longer struggling, or using fire, the devil's net will release the person, but a basilisk obviously does not have such intelligence and ability, so it can only be tied up tighter and tighter in the constant struggle.

However, the ability of the thousand-year-old basilisk is obviously not to be underestimated, even if many devil nets are used superimposed, but under the great struggle of the basilisk, there is still a tendency to be broken.

In view of the basilisk's magic resistance, everyone didn't want to use magic to kill the basilisk directly at the beginning, and now naturally they don't want the basilisk to escape, so Dumbledore, who was prepared, waved his wand, and more than a dozen boxes flew from outside the door, and then smashed firmly on the basilisk's head.
