Chapter Ninety-Four: The Basilisk
The dark and damp pipe system, the passage zigzags and loops, but Rove seems to have a clear line, walking in a very established direction.
The hissing sound that echoed through the pipes, like a guiding light, accurately conveyed the location of the basilisk, and it constantly said creepy words in an icy voice.
“…… Kill you...... Tear you apart...... Delicious refreshments...... Finally able to have a full meal...... Hiss! ”
Click, click, click!
Footsteps followed, and Rove did not hide his arrival, until he reached a certain wall, and he paused for a moment.
Rove raised his wrist, where a small glass bottle hung from it, and the boy flicked his fingers and the bottle made a crisp sound before he walked slowly again into a large room.
There were many lifelike basilisk pillars in the room, and the dark green shadows cast on the ground, making people drowsy.
A huge turquoise serpent was slowly crawling up a pipe, as if preparing to leave the chamber, and on its head, there was a bright red feather.
Rove looked at the basilisk's stout back and whistled, extremely sharp and piercing in the empty room.
"There's a wizard coming...... Strange Wizard ...... A delicious little snack delivered to your door, hiss! ”
The basilisk twisted and slid back down the pipe back into the chamber, a terrifying swallowing sound coming out of its throat, and hissing happily to itself:
"Is the wizard delicious? Is there a lot of juice? Or is it crispy and delicious? I haven't eaten in a long time...... Hiss! ”
The basilisk's heavy body, slowly gliding across the dusty ground, lifted a head as large as a water tank, blinking yellow pupils like lanterns, searching for the wizard's location.
"Where are you hiding? Our poor little treats...... Let's see where we go...... Hiss!! ”
Rove leaned behind the rock pillar, his vision jammed, he looked at the back of the basilisk, and whistled again.
The basilisk twisted its body violently, but saw an incomparably dazzling snow-white light, which pierced its eyes, and it could only close its eyes, its face hideous and painful.
"We can't see it...... I can't see it...... Despicable Wizard ...... will play tricks...... Hiss! ”
Rove was like a strong luminous body, walking towards the basilisk step by step, looking at the brilliant light that glowed with the peculiar of poisonous snakes, his brain suddenly "ding" sounded.
[A domestic basilisk is detected, triggering side quest 1:
Capture the Basilisk and reward Mana:
【Death Gaze】
When this magic is used, a large amount of mana will be consumed to condense in your eyes, and any magical creature that looks at you will die the moment you make eye contact.
(Note)
【Petrochemical Gaze】
When the mana is insufficient, the eye makes contact, or the killing intent is lacking, the [Death Gaze] degenerates into the [Petrified Gaze], and the magic only petrifs enemies.
Side quest 2
100% tame basilisk with bonus magic:
【Basilisk's Hibernation】
You can hibernate like a basilisk and greatly extend your lifespan.
The basilisk was so stabbed in pain that it couldn't open its eyes, but by the sound of footsteps, it could tell that the boy was approaching him step by step.
It suddenly raised its tail, twisted out a huge arc, and flung it in a certain direction, and the powerful tail flick erupted with the majestic sound of a hammer smashing steel.
Rove stared at the fierce onslaught, but remained unmoved, he raised his arm, revealing a tiny glass bottle.
In the bottle, there is a group of roosters who have eaten the shrinkage potion, and this group of roosters is also the same group that Rov asked Hagrid for not long ago, and has been keeping Shirley in the box.
He pulled out his wand, tapped the bottle, and whispered, "Loud voice." ”
The faint sound of the rooster instantly expanded a hundredfold, and the crow that pierced the eardrum echoed throughout the underground space.
Although the basilisk is powerful, it actually has an Achilles' heel, which is the crowing of the rooster.
When the basilisk heard the cry, its eardrums exploded directly, and the corners of its eyes began to bleed, as if it had been horribly stimulated, its whole body trembled violently in pain, and its huge body shook wildly, smashing stone pillars and splattering stones.
The basilisk was in pain all over, and it whimpered and roared:
"Don't hurt us! Don't hurt us, hiss! Shut up the rooster, wizard! Please, please!! ”
"Surrender to me, and I'll let you go." Rov hissed in the same way.
The basilisk didn't bother to shock the wizard's Parseltongue, it fluttered wildly, splashed countless dust, and almost pleaded:
"We are willing to surrender to you...... Please...... We have Slytherin magic in our memories...... We can give you immortal glory...... Endless Wealth ...... It can also teach you how to conquer death...... Go further on the road to immortality...... Hiss! ”
Rove's wand tapped the bottle again, the rooster's crow was gone, and the basilisk lay on the ground groaning, gasping for breath.
"Thank you for your kindness...... You are much more merciful than the heirs of Slytherin...... Hiss...... You're such a nice guy......"
"What has Voldemort been doing in his secret chamber?" Rove asked.
"I don't know what he's doing secretly, but...... You'd better see for yourself......"
The basilisk's vision had not yet returned, it closed its eyes and crawled slowly and with difficulty, and Rove asked a few more questions, all of which he answered honestly.
Sensing that the boy seemed to let his guard down, the basilisk smiled sarcastically like a human...... It's still inexperienced.
It suddenly opened its bloody mouth and bit hard in a certain direction, where was the dying, humble and dying look just now.
The basilisk's mouth was wide open, so big that it could swallow Rove whole, and the two detoxified teeth in his mouth were even more cold, containing venom, like two steel knives.
Rove snapped his fingers expressionlessly, and the vines hidden in the darkness rolled up large pieces of rubble and swung them quickly, smashing the basilisk into the head.
He'd followed Newt and seen magical creatures, treacherous, evil, and ferocious...... It can be regarded as well-informed and experienced in a hundred battles.
Where would you easily trust a basilisk's words...... Especially a basilisk that has lived for nine hundred years, has not pulled out its fangs, has not pierced its eyes, and has strong combat effectiveness!
The boulder smashed against the skull with a loud bang, and the basilisk was caught off guard by the bricks that swayed its head backwards, and its huge body, which had its upper body upright, leaned back a little.
The rooster crows again, and the basilisk that didn't grasp the opportunity seems to have really passed out this time after struggling violently, and began to lie on the ground and twitch weakly.
Rove stepped on the basilisk's tail, along the snake's back, and finally on the skull, holding the elf's dagger and plunging it into the basilisk's closed eyes.
Insert twice in a row.
Black blood gushed out of the basilisk's blinded eye, splattering Rove in the face.
The boy wiped the blood from his face, and reached out to touch the bright red feathers on the basilisk's head...... It's pretty cute.
Rove finally said softly:
"Well-behaved, obedient ......"
