Chapter 172: Fighting the Basilisk

"If there is no sign of life, could it be that he is already dead?" Aiagos said confusedly, looking back at the other two. Harry pressed his hand tightly to his eyes. Charon turned his head to look at the behemoth again, his heart beating fast.

"You two wait here, I'll go and see," Ayagos commanded, and then he walked forward, and after a while heard his voice: "It's all right, come here, it's snakeskin!" ”

Charon and Harry were relieved and followed. The light shone on a huge snakeskin, green and bright, and at first glance it looked like the skin of a poisonous snake, coiled around the floor of the tunnel, and the inside was empty. Apparently, the animal that had shed this layer of skin was at least twenty feet long.

"It's a pity that it's been a long time, and I can't use it." Aiagos touched the snakeskin and sighed.

"What?" Harry didn't understand and asked.

"My dad meant that the snakeskin wasn't fresh enough and that it took too long to use for armor!" Charon explained.

After hearing this, Harry hardly knew how to describe his mood, he was scared to death, but the other party sighed that snakeskin was not good, wasn't he worried?!

"Let's go," Aiagoth continued, Charon and Harry following, walking past the giant snakeskin.

The tunnel took one turn and the next. Every nerve in Harry was shaking uncomfortably. He wanted to get to the end of the tunnel quickly, but at the same time he was afraid that the tunnel would really come to an end.

At last they turned another bend and found a sturdy wall in front of them, carved with two intertwined snakes, their eyes studded with large, shining emeralds.

Aiagoth paused and said with a smile, "Look, it's good to have Harry with me, otherwise I'd have to go up and take him next!" ”

Charon was also a little surprised, he didn't expect that there was a mechanism that needed snake language to open, and Salazar Slytherin really had to work hard!

Harry walked up and felt his throat feel a little dry. There is no need to assume that these two stone snakes are real now, their eyes look exactly like they are alive. He cleared his throat, and the emerald eyes seemed to flicker.

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

The two snakes separated, and the stone wall cracked in the middle and slowly slid to both sides and disappeared. Aiagoth smiled and stepped inside. Trembling, Harry followed Charon inside.

In front of him was the side of a long, dimly lit room. Many stone pillars carved with coiled serpents towered to support the ceiling that melted into the darkness of the heights, casting a long and eerie black shadow on the entire room filled with green and mysterious.

Now it wasn't just Harry, but even Charon's heart was pounding, and he stood there, listening to the chilling silence. Is the basilisk lurking in a dark corner behind some stone pillar?

Charon drew his wand and followed Aiagoth as he slowly moved among the serpent's coiled pillars. Every careful step he took created a hollow, loud echo between the four walls of the ghostly buildings. He kept squinting, ready to close his eyes tightly at the slightest hint of wind. 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.

Charon had to crane her neck high to see the great face above: 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 standing on the smooth floor of the room.

This is obviously Salazar Slytherin's statue! Aiagoth and Charon are both from Slytherin House, and they can't be disrespectful to the founder of their own house, so the two stepped forward and saluted respectfully!

Harry was also pulled by Charon and saluted. According to his words, you are a parseltongue, eighty percent of the descendants of Salazar Slytherin, and you can't disrespect your ancestors! Although Harry felt that he was not a descendant of Salazar Slytherin, the parseltongue was ironclad, and he had no choice but to obey!

After the salute, the three people stood under the statue, and there was no way out. But where is the basilisk?

Aiagoth illuminated the statue with the glowing orb, surveying it up and down, and after a while, he raised his head and said, "The basilisk must be inside this statue, as can be determined by the remaining slime and scratches on the statue." Looks like Harry's snake language is needed to open this statue! ”

"Open it now?" Harry asked.

"Let's wait!" Aiagoth waved his hand to stop, "I guess this is the last level, let's set up all the traps and then let Harry open the trap." ”

Next, Aiagoth placed his traceless foldable backpack on the ground, and under his direction, he drilled out one skeleton after another, ranging from tall troll skeletons to nimble goblin skeletons, and other skeletons of unknown kinds. Each skeleton was thick and smooth, glowing with a pitch-white glow, and some were as smooth as jade. Charon knew at a glance that these skeletons had been refined by long-term necromancy, and were much stronger than his own.

In addition to the skeletons, Aiagoth also prepared strange magic weapons, all of which were specially designed to deal with the basilisk. These different skeletons with different magic weapons take different things, and it seems that Aiagoth plans to let the skeletons rush up and add buffs to the side. However, this is also the usual method of combat for necromantic summoning mages.

Seeing his father do this, Charon himself opened his traceless folding backpack and poured out four skeletons with a bang. These skeletons were obviously not as good as Aiagos's, and Charon was going to let them protect him.

Harry looked at the rattling skeletons around him, and for some reason, the things that had creeped him up in the past now seemed somewhat reassuring!

Charon could still come forward to help when it came to laying traps, and Harry could only watch from the sidelines, but when he saw the dense sharp traps on the ground taking shape, he felt a lot more at ease.

Soon, everything was set up, and Aiagos checked it again and nodded in satisfaction!

It was up to Harry, who looked up at the face of the Slytherin statue high in the darkness, and hissed with his mouth open.

Slytherin's massive stone face moved. Harry was horrified to see its mouth open and widen, eventually forming a huge black hole.

Something moves in the statue's mouth. Something slowly glides upwards from the depths of the statue.

Harry quickly closed his eyes, shivering with nervousness even with the blindfold. His hand was grasped by Charon, who pulled him back until he hit the wall of the dark chamber. His eyes were closed tightly, and he leaned against the wall and did not move. I heard Charon say, "Harry, don't be afraid, just stay here and don't move, remember not to take off your blindfold without my command!" ”

A behemoth slammed to the stone floor, and Harry felt the Chamber of Secrets tremble. He knew what was going on, and he could feel the serpent unfurling its coiled body from Slytherin's mouth.

Charon's eyes widened with an eyepatch, he believed in the effect of his father's magic weapon, and he was not as scared as Harry, standing a little farther away, watching everything that was happening around him.

As soon as the basilisk appeared, Aiagos sprinkled a handful of potion powder early, and suddenly the position of the basilisk was shrouded in mist, and the basilisk couldn't see anything, and slid directly off the statue, and its huge body fell to the ground with a "boom" sound.

The basilisk began to move forward by feeling, and Charon could hear its heavy body sliding slowly across the dusty ground. The next thing is that the 108 Demon Slayer Blades that Aiagoth bought in the East are working. The basilisk has extremely high magic resistance, but it is useless for oriental magic weapons.

What's more, this magic weapon is buried in the ground, extremely insidious, and the basilisk began to slide past without feeling, until most of the body touched the blade, and then the magic weapon was suddenly activated, and 108 barbed blades deeply into the belly of the basilisk, making it feel extremely painful, so it began to struggle desperately, the more it struggled, the deeper it stabbed, and the more it struggled, the bigger the wound!

Aiagoth commanded the skeletons to rush up and take the fork rope to control the basilisk group!

Aiagos laughed and said, "That's it, everything is fine!" Charon, look at Daddy's means! ”

Charon's eyes were wide open, and now even if he didn't wear a magic blindfold, there should be no problem.

The huge basilisk, all green and glowing with the brilliant light peculiar to poisonous snakes, had a body as thick as the trunk of an oak tree, and most of its body was hooked by glittering barbs on the ground, and black blood was sprinkled everywhere, forming small streams. Its upper half was high in the air, and its large flat head was covered with a cloth-like thing, which scurried around the stone pillars as if it were drunk. The eight skeletons struggled to hold it down, lest it break free. The basilisk does have a lot of strength, but it is seriously injured and its physical strength is constantly draining, which is not as powerful as the skeleton's infinite power.

Aiagoth has already wrapped his magic pocket over the head of the basilisk, and now its most powerful weapon, the snake eye that stares at whoever is dead, is no longer effective!!

Harry couldn't help but open his eyes slit, and the scene in front of him suddenly stunned him. Such a manic and huge basilisk, it is so arrogant that he actually said that he wanted to help! Fortunately, Charon invited his father Aiagos, otherwise he would face such a monster by himself, even if the other party did not have a lethal sight, he would eat a little wizard in one bite!

The basilisk's tail swung wildly, crackling the ground and splattering rubble everywhere. Aiagos exclaimed, "Good fellow, my stomach is rotten, and I am still making such a fuss!" After speaking, the skeleton was instructed to wrap the entire snake body layer by layer with a silver-white spider silk rope and strangle it tightly. These spider silks were extorted by Charon from the six-eyed spider Aragog, and they happened to be used at this time!
