Chapter 173 Two-Headed Cockatrice (Modified)

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

Among the four founders, Salazar Slytherin was particularly interested in blood, and the words on the door were very Slytherin.

Just as Allen looked at the bronze door, black poisonous gas gradually floated in the air.

Allen keenly heard the sound of small footsteps. He looked around and saw no living creatures at all.

But this black gas felt very familiar to Allen!

It's the Cockatrice again! Allen immediately took the unicorn's horn out of the storage space, knocked down some powder and swallowed it as an extra precaution.

But where is the Cockatrice? The sound gradually got closer, but Allen still found no trace of the cockatrice.

Could it still be invisible?

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

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 mini, and it's got an extra head!

Cockatrices are already very rare, and not counting the heads on their tails, this double cockatrice is even more rare.

At this time, its six eyes were all focused on Allen. Faced with being unharmed by its venom attack, this rare two-headed cockatrice was obviously a little unsure whether to run away or continue to fight.

Allen couldn't help laughing, and deliberately stretched out his hand as if to give it another bite. This made the cockatrice's face show a human expression. It was stunned for a moment, but its nature made it no longer want to continue to open. Taking this opportunity, Allen pointed the wand at its mouth at close range and cast the petrification spell, and then immediately received it into the pet space.

After sprinkling unicorn powder on the wounds on his hands and waiting for a while, he used a healing spell to heal them. Allen thought the mini version of the two-headed cockatrice was quite cute and a bit silly.

Although cockatrices are dangerous to Muggles and ordinary wizards, they are a type of magical creature after all, and Allen did not choose to destroy them.

The two-headed cockatrice has almost disappeared from the list of animal species. If Muggles knew about it, would it be listed as an internationally 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 door again.

"Only wizards with pure blood can walk through this door!" Allen couldn't help but read this sentence.

Allen was certain that he was a wizard with pure blood, but how to get in?

Do you need to use Parseltongue? But this door doesn't have any snake patterns.

Allen looked at the door carefully. He wouldn't cut his hand and smear blood all over the door, right?

Salazar Slytherin is not a dark wizard!

Although he likes ambitious young people, and he is quite ambitious himself, it does not mean that he is a dark wizard with no bottom line.

Allen was puzzled and tried to use "Alajo Cave", which was completely ineffective. I violently pushed and hit the door, but it didn't move at all.

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

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

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

Returning to the cave where the human-faced spider lived, Allen reluctantly looked back and looked at the place. Returning without success inevitably made him feel a little depressed.

His eyes glanced at the huge cockatrice statue, and suddenly some questions came to his mind. Why was this statue placed in the cave of the human-faced spider?

What does Salazar mean by placing this statue here?

Allen returned to the statue and examined it carefully.

It looks ordinary, without any magical fluctuations.

But that's what makes it even more strange. Such a huge statue was carved into the underground chamber that was built with great effort, but it was of no use at all?

From the base to the top of the head, Allen did not miss every corner. When he saw the cockatrice's eyes, Allen's heart filled with endless joy.

The eyes of the statue are different from the first time I saw them! When you first see it, its eyes are two bulging, round stones.

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

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

Why was this scene different from when he first entered the cave? Did the action at the Bronze Gate just now activate some mechanism?

Not knowing the specific reason, Allen took out his broomstick from the storage space, put on the protective lenses he gave to his classmates before, and flew to the Cockatrice statue. In front of both eyes.

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

Allen was extremely lucky that he chose to fly up on a broomstick. When the red light suddenly appeared, he could react quickly and dodge by rolling.

The red light hit the stone wall opposite the cockatrice and turned into a line of large red characters: "Put your hands into the eyes of the statue."

Allen thought that Slytherin would not be so straightforward if he wanted to leave a trap to kill illegal intruders. He thought that maybe the mechanism to open the bronze door was here. This should be the blood test set by Salazar. means.

Allen put his hands into the eyes of the statue, and felt a burning sensation. Allen was sensitively aware that a drop of blood dripped from the tips of the middle fingers of his two hands.

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

Done! Allen waited until the burning feeling subsided from his hands before stretching his hands back.

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

Allen rode his broomstick and quickly flew towards the previous hall.

But it was like an invisible film that bounced Allen back from the air.

Allen had no choice but to land on the ground and put the broom back into the storage space.

After tentatively walking forward again, Allen successfully entered the narrow passage.

The bronze door that Allen had failed to open before using all means had already opened its arms to Allen, waiting for his visit.

Allen took him with him with joy and excitement, and just as he was about to enter it and find out, a sudden change occurred!
