Chapter 174 Fighting Basilisk (Modified)
A huge python appeared inside the bronze door! It's a basilisk!
Through the back of the opponent's head, one can see a cluster of scarlet-colored crested hairs. Allen therefore recognized the identity of the python!
That gigantic basilisk was green all over and glowed with the unique brilliance of venomous snakes. Its body was as thick as the trunk of an oak tree.
The basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets is only controlled by the real heir of Slytherin, and obviously, Alan is not the heir of Slytherin.
Sensing the approaching person, the basilisk began to adjust its figure, trying to turn around and attack Allen. The twisting body made it look particularly dangerous.
Although protected by the lens, Allen didn't intend to take the initiative to try to look at it, but tried his best to judge the opponent's movements with only peripheral vision. With his agility, Allen successfully stepped on its body directly , finally jumped up, leaped to the top of the basilisk's head, grabbed the pinch of hair on top of its head, and tried hard to control himself not to be thrown off by the basilisk.
The basilisk stretched its upper body high into the air, its big flat head was shaking wildly in the cave, trying to shake Alan off its head as if drunk.
Allen released all the cocks in the pet space.
These roosters were originally raised by Hagrid, but Ellen took precautions and kept them as non-magical creatures in his pet space early on.
See, now it has successfully come in handy.
Although protected by the lens, Allen will not be directly killed by the sight of the basilisk, but look at the basilisk's sharp fangs like blades, and its thick and long body!
Even if Alan prepares detoxified unicorn horns and some detoxification potions, these sharp fangs are enough to pierce him right through!
What's more, pythons are better at entanglement, entangle and suffocate the captured prey, and then swallow it in one bite! The body of this basilisk is countless times bigger than the thickest boa constrictor!
However, Allen's attack methods are very limited. Cockatrices all have magic resistance, let alone a basilisk with rough skin and thick flesh?
The basilisk's skin has the same armor properties as the dragon's skin, and can reflect spells thrown at it.
Only its eyes and mouth are the only weak points of defense.
The roosters flew to the ground thumpingly. Seeing such a huge monster, they seemed to be frightened and scattered in all directions, trying to stay away from the source of danger.
Allen grabbed the pappa with one hand, and pulled out his wand with the other to cast the spell that had been in contact for a long time.
The basilisk was also very disturbed when it saw the rooster. It gave up its plan to shake Alan off its head, and rushed out, trying to escape from the room that made it disturbed.
As a last resort, Allen gave up the spell he was going to cast and instead let a "heavy obstacle" be launched at the entrance of the arched tunnel. The basilisk hit the invisible wall and bounced back violently.
Under the huge force, Allen flew into the air, kicked its body and jumped away with his strength. Allen rolled on the ground, avoiding the basilisk and letting himself keep twitching his tail to send out waves around him. An angry attack.
The basilisk hissed wildly, and when blocked, it gave up running and tried to attack the panicking roosters instead.
The basilisk's tail slapped the wall and the ground. Alan tried to bring the basilisk into the pet space, but it didn't work at all. It was so manic and uncontrollable that Alan couldn't make it lose its resistance.
Its mouth was wide open, so big that it could swallow Allen whole. Two rows of fangs as long as his silver sword were exposed in the mouth, which were thin, glowing coldly, and contained venom...
The basilisk pounced on the roosters, and Alan moved quickly to the position in his mind, dodging the opponent's tail, and the basilisk, which was not paying attention to Alan, failed to attack him.
This allowed Allen to see the dawn of victory.
The silver sword flew out of Allen's hand. The basilisk rushed towards Allen again, its fangs gleaming coldly.
Allen cast a magic spell on the group of attackers in the gap - Allen used magic to simulate the crowing of a rooster, and Merlin blessed the same scene as the experiment,
After this false call, the other roosters also started to crow.
The basilisk shook its head, stood tall and upright, its tail wagging wildly.
The crowing of a rooster is fatal to a basilisk!
The two roosters crowed several times. They have been living in the pet space recently. They are well nourished, their coats are shiny, and their crows are high-pitched and passionate.
Ellen never thought the sound of a cock sounded so good! So exhilarating, the Basilisk fell straight out of the air with a loud crash.
Just to be on the safe side, Allen used his transformation technique to conjure an iron hook through the basilisk's nostrils and smashed it in its brain, then took out the dragonskin protective gloves used in the herbal medicine class to protect his hands , disassembled the poisonous fangs of the basilisk.
Allen can finally take a good look at the scene inside the bronze gate!
After entering the bronze gate, Allen found that the inside was not a traditional hall, but a long corridor paved with turquoise boulders.
All kinds of weird creature statues are displayed on both sides of the promenade. All kinds of grotesque fire dragons and snakes, four-legged beasts, winged beasts, sea beasts, etc. are displayed, as well as statues of cockatrices and basilisks.
Is Salazar still a fan of magical creatures? Allen left the statues behind him and walked through the corridor.
Entering a hall again, the space in this hall is very large, even more magnificent than the most spectacular palace or ruins Allen has ever seen.
Its walls are very exotic: the surface of the wall has a faint luster, almost pale green, like the blue and green color on some porcelain.
After careful inspection, Allen found that the building material of the walls of this hall is indeed ceramics!
In Salazar's time, it was indeed a very extravagant behavior to cover such a large space with ceramics. Its cost should be more expensive than being covered with gold.
Its floor was paved with large blocks of some extremely strong white stone.
At one end of the hall, Allen found a row of tall display cabinets displaying various specimens of paleontology.
But it is a pity that they have changed beyond recognition with the passage of time.
The animal specimens have shrunk and turned black, leaving only a little remnant; the dehydrated mummies kept in the medicine jar; the rare medicinal materials have left a pile of brown powder after weathering...
That's all there is to it on the showcase!
Although Salazar set up a magic circle, the process of corroding and damaging these stored items was extremely slow.
However, nearly a thousand years later, the magic circle, which had gradually lost its magic power, began to stop functioning. Naturally, it was impossible to keep these exhibits in their original appearance.
