Chapter 140: The Blade is Gone
As soon as the three of them entered the room, a low bark rang in their ears. Lu Wei couldn't see them, but all three of his noses twitched and sniffed wildly toward them.
"What's at its feet?" Hermione pointed to Luwe, "A harp?" ”
"Quirrell must have stayed behind." "Obviously as soon as the music stops, it wakes up." ”
Harry put the harp to his lips and blew it. He couldn't make a tune, but as soon as he blew the first note, Louwe's eyes began to pull down.
Harry was blowing almost non-stop, and Louwe's barking slowly stopped. It staggered, fell to its knees, and then fell to the floor and fell into a deep sleep.
Harry put away his cloak and crept towards the trapdoor. When you get close to the three huge heads, you can feel the hot, smelly smell of Lu Wei.
"I don't know why Hagrid would treat this thing like a pet.
Hermione covered her nose and said incomprehensibly.
"His hobbies have always been different." Ron said, putting his hand on the trapdoor's tab, "I think we can pull the trapdoor open." ”
Harry poked his head in, and it was pitch black, and there was no ladder to go down.
"I think we're going to have to jump."
Harry slid down the hole, fingers clinging to the edge of the hole, looked up at Ron and said, "If anything happens to me, don't come down with you." Go straight to the owl shack and send Hedwig to deliver a message to Dumbledore, okay? ”
"Okay." Ron nodded.
Fortunately, soon Harry's voice came from below: "No problem! It's a soft landing, and you're ready to jump! ”
Ron and Hermione didn't hesitate too much and jumped straight in. They landed on all fours beside Harry.
"What is this?" Ron asked, a plant under them, presumably laid here to mitigate the collision of the fall.
"Thankfully, there's this pile of plants here."
Harry wiped a cold sweat and said happily.
"Thankfully!" Hermione screamed, and the plants beneath her had stretched out snake-like tendrils and wrapped around her ankles. And Harry and Ron were unknowingly wrapped around their legs by long vines.
"I remember, it's the Devil's Net!"
Hermione managed to break free before the vines could hold her firmly. She watched in horror as Harry and Ron tried desperately to tear at the vines, but the more they struggled, the faster and tighter the vines became entangled.
"Don't move, don't move, I want to figure out how to deal with it...... Professor Sprout said in class......"
Hermione stared anxiously at her hands.
"Please think about it quickly, I can't breathe!" Harry gasped, desperately pulling at a vine that was going to wrap around his chest.
"Devil's Net...... What did Professor Sprout say? Likes dark and damp—"
"Then burn it!" Harry was choking.
"But there are no matches here!"
"Are you crazy?" Ron roared out, "You're still not a wizard!" ”
"Oh yes......" Hermione woke up from a dream, pulling out her wand and muttering words to her mouth, and the tip of her wand poured out the same flame that had lit Snape's robes last time like a blue bellflower.
In a matter of seconds, Harry and Ron felt the vines flinching away from the light and warmth, loosening the grip on them. The vines twisted and twitched, automatically loosening the tendrils that were wrapped around them.
"I'm glad you listened so carefully in the herb class, Hermione." Harry said as he stepped back to the wall, wiping the sweat from his face.
Norlin is working on another matter that has troubled countless times more.
Due to the basilisk's tricky eyes, Nolin and Professor McGonagall couldn't look directly at it, and the difficulty of the fight went up several notches.
The basilisk's head slammed into them, and Norlin barely jumped to the side, and the wall cracked in the wall, and the rubble kept falling off.
The hideous, granular protrusions on its flattened head, its fangs sharpened like a saber, and its eerily glowing yellow eyes stared hungrily at Norin, eager to swallow the human in the next moment.
Norin's heart was startled, and he silently recited a spell, and his body instantly became light and soared into the air. A stout snake tail barely matched the soles of his feet and slammed against the wall next to Professor McGonagall's office, the door crumbling with an overwhelmed sound.
Professor McGonagall was furious, anything the basilisk destroyed was public property of Hogwarts, and as the school's financial manager, she would not tolerate such behavior.
"Broken bones!"
Enraged, Professor McGonagall directly invoked the Crushing Charm. She tilted her head, and the red light shot at the basilisk, striking its body.
However, when the red light slammed into the basilisk, the scales on its body moved strangely, and the light of the smashing spell gradually faded, and then it was bounced to the side, and exploded into the wall, blasting a crack again.
Such a high magic resistance?
Norlin in the sky was stunned for a while, the basilisk's magic immunity was so high.
The levitation charm didn't last long, and soon he landed on the ground, only to see Professor McGonagall, who was attacking him from behind, as the basilisk lunged at Norin again.
Older food and tender and delicious food, it naturally craves the latter. From its deep sleep to its awakening, it has been hungry for far too long and desperately needs food.
Norin's face sank, he took a few steps back, his ribs hot again, and soon, under Professor McGonagall's surprised gaze, his wings stretched and the man flew into the air again.
With his eyes closed, he barely managed to spot the direction where the basilisk was coming, and an eye spell came out of his hand.
The basilisk seemed to let out a sneer, allowing the misguided spell to fly past it and fly straight towards Professor McGonagall behind it.
Professor McGonagall was a little speechless and dodged the eye curse, only to see Norlin suddenly shout, "Professor! ”
With a wave of his wand, a chair in his office gradually transformed into a rooster, roaring inside.
The basilisk's movements froze suddenly, and then trembled uncontrollably.
Professor McGonagall immediately understood what Norlin meant, and with a flick of her wand, all the rubble on the ground floated into the air, gradually turning into sharp swords with a cold sword light.
Professor McGonagall could also see that ordinary spells were almost ineffective against the creature, so she used physical attacks. She snorted coldly, and the blade of the sword was all aimed at all parts of the basilisk's body, striking in all directions.
The basilisk had no choice but to curl up as much as possible. Most of the sword was bounced open by its hard scales, but it couldn't withstand a burst of thrusts in the same part, and the snake's body was pierced by the long sword one after another, and cold snake blood flowed out of the wound.
"Shadowless!"
At the same time, an indifferent voice came from the end of the hallway, and then, an extremely sharp light disappeared in an instant.
