Chapter 173 Two-Headed Cockatoo (Modified)

Seeing the rune engraved on the door, Allen was finally sure that he had indeed found Salazar Slytherin's secret room.

Among the four founders, Salazar Slytherin is particularly fond of blood, and the words on the door are very Slytherin.

While Allen was looking at the bronze door, black poisonous gas gradually floated in the air.

Allen keenly heard small footsteps. He looked around and saw no living things at all.

But this black gas feels very familiar to Allen!

Another cockatrice! Allen immediately pulled the unicorn's horn out of the storage space, and swallowed some powder as an extra precaution.

But where is the cockatrice? The sound gradually approached, but Alan still didn't find any trace of the cockatrice.

Could it still be invisible?

Suddenly, Allen felt a pain in his leg, and he was actually bitten! And Allen didn't notice when it was approaching at all.

Alan lowered his head, and finally found the culprit who bit him.

This cockatrice is very different!

In terms of appearance, it is indeed a cockatrice.

But it's about eight inches long, very tiny, and has an extra head!

Cockatrices are already very rare, and this double cockatrice is even rarer if you don't count the head on the tail.

At this time, its six eyes were fixed on Allen, and it was unscathed by the attack of its venom. This rare two-headed cockatrice was obviously a little uncertain whether to run away or continue to fight.

Allen couldn't help laughing, reaching out his hand deliberately as if giving it another bite on purpose, which made the cockatrice's face show a humanized expression, it froze for a moment, but its nature made it no longer want to continue to open After closing his mouth, taking this opportunity, Allen pointed his wand at its mouth at close range and cast the petrification spell, and then immediately received it in the pet space.

After sprinkling unicorn powder on the wounds on his hands and waiting for a while before using healing spells to make them heal, Allen thought the miniature version of the two-headed cockatrice was cute and a little cute.

Although the cockatrice is dangerous to Muggles and ordinary wizards, it is a kind of magical creature after all, and Allen did not choose to destroy it.

The two-headed cockatrice is almost disappearing from the list of animal species. If Muggles know about it, will it be listed as an international first-class protected animal?

With the precedent of the two-headed cockatrice, Allen carefully inspected the surrounding environment to ensure that there were no other dangers before returning to the bronze gate.

"Only wizards of pure blood can enter this gate!" Allen couldn't help reading this sentence out.

Allen can be sure that he is a wizard of pure blood, but how to get in?

Do I need to use Parseltongue? But this door does not have any snake pattern.

Allen looked at the gate carefully, so he wouldn't cut his hands and smear the gate with blood, right?

Salazar Slytherin is no dark wizard!

Although he likes ambitious teenagers, and he is considered ambitious, it doesn't mean that he is a black wizard with no bottom line.

Allen was puzzled and tried to use "Alahoo Hole", but it didn't work at all. Violently pushing and hitting the door, the door remained motionless.

Allen tried all the methods he could think of to open the door, even some violent spells, and groped the entire hall for a while, not letting go of every suspicious place, but it was all in vain.

The bronze door stood there silently, faithfully guarding its secrets.

Allen resentfully gave up his plan to continue exploring, and decided to find out later.

Returning to the cave where the human-faced spider lived again, Allen looked back unwillingly, and returning in vain inevitably made him feel a little frustrated.

His eyes swept over the huge cockatrice statue, and suddenly some questions came to his mind, why was this statue placed in the man-faced spider's cave?

What did Salazar mean by placing this statue here?

Allen turned back to the statue,

Check carefully.

It looks ordinary, without any magical fluctuations.

But this is what makes it even more strange. In the underground secret room built with painstaking efforts, such a huge statue is sculpted, but it is useless?

From the base to the top of the head, Allen did not miss every corner. When he saw the eyes of the cockatrice, Allen felt endless joy in his heart.

The statue's eyes are different from the first time you see them! When first seen, its eyes were two bulging, rounded stones.

But now, the stone is gone, replaced by two dark round holes.

Although the statue itself does not have any magical fluctuations, when Allen looked at it intently, there was a red light flashing faintly in the depths of its empty eyes.

Why is this scene different from when he first entered the cave? Did the action at the bronze door activate some mechanism?

Alan, who didn't know the specific reason, took his broomstick out of the storage space, put on the protective glasses that he gave to his classmates before, and flew to the eyes of the cockatrice statue.

As if detecting life fluctuations, two red lights shot out from the cockatrice's eyes, like sharp swords.

Allen was extremely thankful that he chose to fly up on a broomstick. When the red light suddenly appeared, he was able to react quickly and roll and dodge.

The red light hit the stone wall opposite the cockatrice, turning into a line of big red characters: "Put your hands into the eyes of the statue."

Allen thought that if Slytherin wanted to leave some traps to kill illegal intruders, it would not be so straightforward. He thought that maybe the mechanism to open the bronze door was here, and this should be one of the blood tests set by Salazar. means.

Allen stretched his hands into the eyes of the statue, and there was a burning sensation. Allen sensitively noticed that a drop of blood dripped from the middle fingertips of his two hands.

A rumbling sound came from the direction of the main hall!

It's done! Allen waited until the burning feeling subsided from his hands before stretching them back.

He looked at his hands. From the outside, there were no signs of injury.

Allen rode a broomstick and quickly swept towards the previous hall.

But it was as if there was an invisible film that bounced Allen back from the air.

Allen had to land on the ground and retract the broom into the storage space.

Tentatively walking forward again, Allen successfully entered the narrow passage.

Before, the bronze door that Alan tried all means to open had already opened his arms to Alan, waiting for his presence.

Allen brought himself with joy and excitement, and was about to enter it, to find out, and a sudden change occurred!
