Chapter 1048 The Sly Basilisk

Whether the basilisks in history can spit poisonous mist is probably not known by many people. But this basilisk constantly wandering in the mountains can indeed spit out a very strange poisonous mist.

After some trials and severe injuries to several people, everyone discovered that this poisonous mist is not only unaffected by air currents, but even many obstacles cannot hinder its infection and spread.

The companion who tried to enter the range of the poisonous mist after putting a protective spell on himself just now almost proved this with his own life—if he hadn’t just tasted it, he might not only be paralyzed, Saving manpower is so simple!

And now, the poisonous fog is obviously spreading purposefully towards the interior of France. It would be even more difficult if basilisks were allowed to invade the Muggle towns outside the foothills.

"Go in that direction and try everything we can try!"

The one who spoke at this moment was actually the wizard who called out the cheetah patron saint and reported to Blois Castle earlier, and she was the leader of this operation.

Yes, she is a female member of the Blois family.

Judging from her ability to freely command many family wizards, her strength and status are undoubtedly worthy of recognition. Therefore, even Willie's father trusted her very much.

But seeing her waving her hand to make most people rush in the direction of the poisonous mist, she herself remained on the side and continued to observe calmly.

Between the mountains and fields, a gust of wind blew by. Although the poisonous mist was still unmoved, her neat short hair swayed with the wind.

In fact, she knew very well in her heart that although the poisonous mist of the basilisk was indeed terrifying, it would not make the wizards on her side who had been trained by the family mess up. In the final analysis, as long as you don't randomly enter the range of the poisonous fog, no one will be injured at all.

In addition, because it is not affected by the wind, the diffusion speed of the poisonous mist can be said to be quite slow. This means that while they cannot stop the basilisk from advancing, the basilisk will also be restricted by its own poisonous mist.

Obviously, it is still hard to say which side is at a disadvantage!

However, after this period of observation, it can be seen that the wisdom of this basilisk should not be underestimated.

She also couldn't be sure if the spread of the poisonous mist was just a cover-up, but the basilisk itself would choose to break through from the side or the rear when the obstructers went to the front to try to intercept it.

If the other party really did this... it would indirectly show that the basilisk actually didn't want to fight head-on with wizards like them.

"Come on, close your eyes!"

Suddenly, a huge shadow silhouette appeared on the edge of the poisonous fog, which immediately made her secretly think.

And when forced to fight at a shorter distance, the basis of tactics used by the Bulova family wizards headed by her is to close their eyes and fight. On this point, it kind of coincides with Hermione's thoughts.

Of course, in addition to requiring a lot of practice, this is undoubtedly a simple and effective way to deal with it.

In the next second, before seeing the basilisk rushing out of the poisonous mist, all the wizards who stayed here just in case closed their eyes. At the same time, they also raised their wands in unison, and judged the position of the basilisk only by the sound and vibration.

"There are many thorns.

"

Nearly ten family wizards inserted their wands into the ground in a tacit understanding, and immediately, rows of earth-colored spikes extended towards the direction where the basilisk appeared.

Those ground thorns only emerged one by one at first, but then they became more and more, and they appeared in patches around the basilisk.

This spell is one of the ancient spells passed down to the present by the Bulova family. It used to be a spell known to most wizards, but until now, only a few families still have complete spells and spells. The spell is over.

"boom!"

Naturally, the basilisk sensed the roar of the earth immediately, and saw it flick its tail violently, and forced to sweep off all the hard thorns extending around it.

However, even if the ground thorns he cast were cut off again and again, they still haven't been able to scratch the skin of the basilisk until now. But they continued to cast the spell, as if they didn't care whether the spell could hurt the cunning basilisk.

"hiss--"

Accompanied by the threatening neighing of the basilisk, the short-haired witch in the head seemed to have sensed some timing, swung her staff backhandedly, and then steadily pointed in the direction from which the neighing came.

"Thousands of bullets are fired."

"Thousands of bullets!" Hearing the sound, the other wizards finally stopped making stab attacks, and followed her to recite this regular spell that was taught in school.

Facts have proved that even the most ordinary charms can have important effects when used properly.

Accompanied by the sound of the incantation, the ground thorns, no matter whether they were severed by the basilisk or still standing staggered, followed the movement of the wand and shot straight to the position of the basilisk.

Amidst the chaotic bombardment, the dust filled the gravel and splashed everywhere, making it unclear for a while what the effect of this attack was.

But, of course, everyone's eyes are tightly closed right now, even if there is no smoke and dust covering them, it is impossible to see.

So the short-haired witch waited, waiting for a voice that would manifest the situation of the basilisk to sound.

Not long after, the basilisk seemed to be returning to the poisonous mist behind it through the flying dust in a rustling sound that was gradually receding.

"Is it hurt?"

The short-haired witch was about to open her eyes to check, but before she could make a move, she heard the sound of two falling down not far away.

Did a companion make eye contact with the basilisk?

"Don't look!" She immediately warned loudly, "It's not gone yet!"

While warning her companions, she waved her wand again, and immediately heard a violent explosion sound from the direction of the basilisk.

Until now, she opened her eyes hastily, but her expression changed immediately.

"Back! Back immediately!"

The cunning level of that basilisk was much higher than she had imagined. Because as soon as she opened her eyes, she realized that the poisonous mist had drifted towards them in silence just now, and it had almost filled in front of her at this moment.

The voice she heard just now was actually correct, the basilisk had indeed left. But the two companions fell to the ground not because they came into contact with the instant death line of sight, but because they were poisoned by the poisonous mist!

If she hadn't chosen to take the risk of taking a look just now, she might soon follow in the footsteps of those two companions.

With the help of the floating spell, the two fallen companions were dragged out of the range of the poisonous mist, and then the short-haired witch led the rest of the staff back for a distance, and then stopped the retreat again. .

"Wait for signals from other directions!"

Although this can be regarded as a success in repelling the basilisk, it almost fell into the trick of the basilisk - it is unbelievable that besides the sphinx, there are such intelligent magical creatures in this world.

It's a pity that because of the spread of the poisonous mist, it is temporarily impossible for them to check whether the previous barrage of bullets has caused certain damage to the basilisk.

"At least the task ordered by the Patriarch is still possible to complete."

Another companion next to the short-haired witch said so, and the others immediately nodded in agreement. If things go on like this, it will not be easy for the basilisk to break through the encirclement, so it can only rely on the extension of the poisonous mist to move forward slowly.

The short-haired witch also nodded slightly, but didn't say much. After thinking about it for a while, she stretched out her wand and pointed at the ground, a stone immediately transformed into a wild cat, and went into the poisonous mist nimbly and swiftly.

In any case, it is better to check the location of the basilisk first, and if you are lucky, you may be able to know the opponent's next move in advance.

It would be great if we could find a way to break through this poisonous fog as soon as possible.

...

Just when the short-haired witch was leading the staff to entangle with the basilisk, a group of wizards who learned about the incident had already come to Blois Castle to pay a visit.

Hearing that the servants came to report that a group of wizards from the federation had come to visit, Mr. Blois immediately waved him to ask them to meet in the parlor.

Not long after, he also left the study and came to the former castle.

"President Aginbad," Blois nodded to the other party as soon as he stepped into the living room, "Since the day of your inauguration ceremony, this is the second time we have met, right?"

"Well, yes!" Akinbad hurriedly stood up from the seat, smiled and said, "It's not easy to meet Patriarch Blois... If I have nothing important to do this time, I won't be like this Came here to interrupt in a hurry."

Hearing this, Blois shook his head slightly and said:

"Sir, you don't need to be so polite. I know that you and Mr. McLean have always had a good relationship...so I have been thinking that sooner or later we will meet again and even cooperate with each other."

He paused for a while, and then said:

"For example, the 'important matter' you mentioned just now... I'm afraid it's just an opportunity for cooperation, isn't it?"

Even if Bulova is confident that he can deal with that exceptionally powerful basilisk, if someone is willing to act with him, it is naturally a good choice.

After all, at present, no one knows whether there will be another bigger trouble suddenly appearing behind the basilisk.

In fact, it was precisely because of this that Maca still hesitated after seeing the word "rest assured" by Bulova.

At this moment, Bulova and Aginbad turned their heads to look out of the window one after another, but they saw a strong owl like an eagle swooping towards this side from the outer sky.

"That's Mr. McLean's owl."

In Akinbad's voice, Bulova raised his arm and let Mafa land on it.

After a while, Mr. Blois, who unfolded the half of the letter paper and glanced at it, nodded, and then handed the letter paper to Aginbad.

Regardless of what was written on the letter, Aginbad knew that this gesture alone was a hint of Blois' trust.
