Chapter 117: The boss is on

"Should I go find a few roosters?"

Luo Cheng said with a smile, of course he knew that there was no need to do anything with Dumbledore present, but this did not prevent him from hanging his book bag.

"No need."

Dumbledore said, "The basilisk is afraid of the crowing of the rooster, but this is of little use to the basilisk that has lived for a thousand years, and at most it hates the crowing of the rooster." Keep an eye on me for a while, and if the basilisk appears, just protect your eyes from making eye contact with it. ”

So the two of them continued on their way, and the tunnel was very long, turning one turn after another. At last they carefully turned another corner, and at last they found a sturdy wall in front of them, carved with two intertwined serpents, and their eyes were studded with large, shining emeralds, which at first glance were not ordinary, but should be worth a lot of gold galleons.

Luo Cheng secretly wrote it down, and was ready to pry off the emerald if he had the opportunity to take it away.

Dumbledore hissed snake words from his mouth again.

The two snakes parted, and the stone wall cracked in the middle and slowly slid to both sides and disappeared.

The two found themselves standing on the side of a long, dimly lit room. Many stone pillars carved with coiled snakes towered to support the ceiling that melted into the darkness of the heights, casting long, eerie black shadows on the entire room filled with green and mystery.

"Watch out, Professor Luo Cheng."

"Yes, Headmaster. After all, this is a Slytherin secret room, and it's hard to guarantee that there won't be any other traps, so it's better to be careful. ”

Luo Cheng also pulled out his wand and slowly advanced between the stone pillars coiled by the giant snake. Each step is filled with a hollow, loud echo between the four walls of the ghostly buildings.

"Staying here any longer is depressing." Dumbledore said. "Salazar Slytherin has cast a special spell here to ward off the undetermined wizards."

As they reached the last pair of stone columns, a statue as tall as the room itself appeared, clinging to the dark wall behind it.

Luo Cheng had to crane his neck high to see the huge face above: an old, monkey-like face, a long, sparse beard that dragged almost all the way to the hem of a wizard's robe carved out of stone, and two large gray feet standing on the smooth floor of the room.

"It's the first time I've seen a Slytherin statue, it's spectacular."

Luo Cheng looked at the statue with interest.

"Salazar Slytherin, unlike his juniors, was not a show-off man, and the colossal statue was not in his style."

Dumbledore looked up at the statue, "I've seen the records of several headmasters who entered the Chamber of Secrets in the Headmaster's office in the early days, and they also mentioned the huge Slytherin statue and were puzzled by it. I had some speculation about this before, but today I finally got a chance to give it a try. ”

He suddenly opened his mouth again, hissing again.

Luo Cheng couldn't help but praise Dumbledore in his heart, worthy of being a living myth, the greatest Hogwarts Headmaster of all time, this spark and lightning cracked the secret of the secret room, and he didn't need Professor Luo Cheng to be a big smart dog-headed military advisor at all.

Slytherin's massive stone face moved. Its mouth opened and grew wider and wider, eventually forming a huge black hole. Something moves in the statue's mouth, something glides upwards from the depths of the statue.

"Professor Luo Cheng, get out of the way, this statue is used to hide the basilisk!" Dumbledore said in a deep voice.

Luo Cheng hurriedly ran to the corner - this is the boss, he doesn't have the ability to face the basilisk.
