Chapter 174 Fierce Battle with the Basilisk (Modified)
A giant python was revealed inside the bronze door! It's a basilisk!
Through the back of the other person's head, I could see a scarlet-colored crest. Allen thus recognized the identity of the python!
The huge basilisk was green, glowing with the bright light unique to poisonous snakes, and its body was as thick as an oak tree trunk.
The basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets is only controlled by the real heir of Slytherin. Obviously, Alan is not the heir of Slytherin.
Sensing the arrival, the basilisk began to adjust its body shape, wanting to turn around and attack Allen. Its twisting body made it look particularly dangerous.
Although it was protected by lenses, Allen did not intend to actively try to look at it. Instead, he tried his best to judge the opponent's movements with only his peripheral vision. With his agile skills, Allen successfully stepped on it directly. , finally jumped up, jumped to the top of the basilisk's head, grabbed the tuft of crest on 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, and its big flat head shook wildly in the cave, as if it was drunk, trying to throw Allen off its head.
Allen released all the cocks in the pet space.
These roosters were originally raised by Hagrid, but Alan took precautions and kept them as non-magical creatures in his own pet space early.
Look, it has been successfully used now.
Although protected by lenses, Allen will not be killed directly by the sight of the basilisk, but look at the basilisk's fangs as sharp as blades and its thick and long body!
Even if Allen prepared an antidote unicorn horn and some antidote potions, these sharp fangs would still be enough to pierce him!
What's more, pythons are better at entangling, suffocating and suffocating their prey before swallowing it in one bite! The body of this basilisk is countless times larger than the thickest python!
Allen's attack methods are very limited. Cockatrices are resistant to magic, let alone a thick-skinned basilisk?
The basilisk's skin has the same armor properties as dragon skin and can reflect spells directed at it.
Its eyes and mouth are the only weak links in its defense.
The roosters fluttered and flew to the ground. Seeing such a huge monster, they seemed to be frightened and flew away in all directions, trying to get away from the source of danger.
Allen grabbed the crest with one hand and took out the wand with the other hand to cast the spell that had been in contact for a long time.
The basilisk was also very uneasy when it saw the rooster. It gave up its plan of throwing off Allen from its head and rushed out, trying to escape from the room that made it uneasy.
As a last resort, Allen gave up the spell he was planning to cast and instead let a "barrier" fire 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, then kicked its body and used the force to jump away. Allen rolled on the ground, avoided the basilisk, and kept twitching his tail to send out sounds around him. looked angry and attacked.
The basilisk made a frantic hissing sound. After being blocked, it gave up its escape and instead tried to attack the hasty roosters.
The basilisk's tail slapped the walls and the ground. Allen tried to put the basilisk into the pet space, but it didn't work at all. It was so manic and uncontrollable that Allen couldn't make it lose its resistance.
Its mouth opened very wide, 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 with coldness, and contained venom...
The basilisk rushed towards the roosters. Allen moved quickly to the position in his mind, ducking to avoid the opponent's tail. The basilisk, which was not paying attention to Allen, 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 took the opportunity to cast a magic spell that could be regarded as a magic trick on the group of attacks - Allen used magic to simulate the crow of a rooster. Merlin blessed it and it was the same as the scene in the experiment. After this false crow, the other roosters They also started to crow.
The basilisk shook its head, stood tall and upright, and its tail swung wildly.
The crowing of a rooster is fatal to a basilisk!
The two roosters crowed several times. They have been living a very nourishing life in the pet space recently, with sufficient nutrition. Their coats are shiny and their crows are high-pitched and exciting.
Alan has never thought that the crow of a rooster sounds so good! It was so exciting that the basilisk fell straight out of the air with a huge crash.
To be on the safe side, Allen used his deformation technique to conjure an iron hook, inserted it into the basilisk's nostrils, and smashed it in its brain. Then he took out the dragon skin protective gloves he would use in herbal medicine class to protect his hands. , disassembled the basilisk's fangs.
Allen can finally take a good look at the scene inside the bronze door!
After entering the bronze door, Allen found that it was not a traditional hall, but a long corridor paved with green boulders.
Statues of various weird creatures are displayed on both sides of the corridor. Various grotesque fire dragons and snakes, four-legged beasts, winged beasts, sea beasts, etc. are on display, as well as statues of cockatrices and basilisks.
Could it be that Salazar is also a lover of magical creatures? Allen left the statues behind and walked through the corridor.
Entering a hall again, the space inside this hall is very large, more magnificent than the most spectacular palaces or ruins Allen has ever seen.
Its walls are very exotic: the surface of the wall is faintly shiny, almost light green, like the blue and green colors on some porcelain.
After careful inspection, Allen discovered that the building material of the walls of this hall was indeed ceramic!
In Salazar's day, it was indeed a very luxurious act to cover such a large space with ceramics. Its cost should be more expensive than covering it with gold.
Its floor was paved with large blocks of some extremely strong white stone.
At one end of the hall, Allen discovered a row of tall display cabinets, which displayed specimens of various ancient creatures.
But it is a pity that they have been changed beyond recognition with the passage of time.
Animal specimens have shrunk and turned black, leaving only a few traces; mummies that have been preserved in potion jars are now dehydrated; rare medicinal materials have left a pile of brown dust after weathering...
That’s all on the showcase!
Although Salazar set up a magic circle, the process of causing these storage items to be corroded and damaged was extremely slow.
However, nearly a thousand years have passed, and the magic circle that has gradually lost its magic power has begun to stop operating. Naturally, it is impossible to keep these exhibits in their original appearance.
