Chapter 94: No Sweeping
Lu Yunkai once thought that Hogwarts, which occupied the entire valley, was definitely not as small as the castle looked, but he never thought that Hogwarts was so big.
Following the basilisk that was running for its life, Lu Yunkai urged the broom under his crotch to keep up. After running for nearly ten minutes, he was still in the cave.
Although it was estimated that it was spinning in circles in the cave for ten minutes, the complexity of the cave was definitely not a joke.
After these ten minutes, Lu Yunkai, who was originally anxious and panicked, calmed down a lot.
The basilisk was really afraid of the rooster, which was really lucky. Although Lu Yunkai still couldn't understand why these two things with a hundred times difference in size had such a relationship, it was good to exist.
But the problem was that the book said that the call of the rooster was fatal to the basilisk. He chased the basilisk with the rooster for so long, but it just ran away and didn't die.
In other words, it was unlikely that the basilisk could be killed with a rooster, and Lu Yunkai had to find another way.
He tried to buy a bottle of explosive corrosion potion and threw it on the basilisk, but it was blocked by the scales of the basilisk and bounced to the ground on the side, corroding a big pit in the cave, and the basilisk continued to escape.
He also tried spells, "shattered into pieces", "petrified", "fainted", "quickly imprisoned"...
All were bounced back by the snake scales.
As for whether it was because of its strong defense or Lu Yunkai's spell was too weak, it was unknown.
Now Lu Yunkai had no time to prepare any magic circle. The only thing he could use seemed to be the Skyfire potion that was used to deal with spiders before. But the question was, is using this thing in the cave any different from suicide?
He had to drive this thing to an open place, and then "air raid" it on a broom!
After Hermione was attacked, students from various colleges had basically been driven back to the lounge. The basilisk should not hurt classmates on the way out, so Lu Yunkai was not worried.
Keep chasing it until it feels it must take a risk to escape from Hogwarts.
Lu Yunkai's thoughts are very simple now.
After being chased by Lu Yunkai for ten minutes, the huge basilisk also realized that the terrible rooster's cry behind it was definitely not just to drive it away, but to kill it, and finally gave up the idea of getting rid of Lu Yunkai in the complex underground cave maze.
At a fork in the road, it suddenly turned in another direction and plunged into a sewer.
Lu Yunkai had no choice but to follow it.
After flying along this sewer for a while, finally, a light appeared in front.
With a bang, the basilisk hit a protective net and ran out, while Lu Yunkai had to brake suddenly and stopped in the protective net that was hit.
Outside the protective net, there is a dark blue lake. Obviously, this place is the drainage channel of Hogwarts, and the backflow of the lake water is blocked by magic.
The basilisk ran into the lake, and Lu Yunkai should have chased it. But even if he was not afraid of water, what about the two roosters in his arms? He hadn't learned the spell that could make the roosters breathe in the water!
If the roosters were drowned, wouldn't that mean he was delivering food to the basilisk?
The situation was a bit complicated.
Lu Yunkai thought about it, sighed, jumped off the broom, put the two roosters that kept crowing because of fear on the ground, and used the binding spell to prevent them from running around. According to what he found in the book yesterday, he bought a lot of things from the system and began to build the magic circle that was said to be as powerful as the Skyfire Potion after being triggered.
He couldn't get out from here, but he definitely couldn't let the basilisk come in from here. As long as he blocked it outside the lake, Lu Yunkai could get out from another way, and then take the roosters to find it on the lake. At that time, it might run back to the secret room again...
While thinking about this, the magic circle that Lu Yunkai drew for the first time gradually took shape under his hands.
It is definitely not perfect, and its power will definitely be greatly reduced, but this may not be a bad thing for the current situation. The power is too great, and it really blew up the sewers of Hogwarts...
Hmm.
Ten minutes later, Lu Yunkai finally completed the magic circle.
Although he was a little worried about Harry in the Chamber of Secrets, after all, there was no basilisk, and it was just a notebook. Lu Yunkai felt that there should not be too many problems.
And facing Voldemort, there may be no better solution than handing it over to Harry... Even Dumbledore did this.
So Lu Yunkai did not delay and drove the broom to fly out of the castle.
Just before he flew to the hole leading to the women's bathroom on the second floor, he finally saw Professor McGonagall who was notified by Ron.
"Lu Yunkai!!" Seeing Lu Yunkai flying out of the cave on a broom, McGonagall seemed relieved, "Where's Potter?"
"He's still in the Chamber of Secrets. I'm chasing the Basilisk."
"Basilisk? Where is it?"
"It ran into the lake through the sewer exit."
"In the lake? Oh! That's good! You go back to the Slytherin common room now, and leave this matter to us."
"But..."
"Lu Yunkai! Don't take any more risks!"
At this moment, Snape also rushed over.
"Professor Snape..."
Lu Yunkai looked at Snape's concerned eyes and felt a little embarrassed.
If he wasn't worried that the basilisk was simply driven away instead of killed, he would also understand how dangerous his current behavior was, but he absolutely could not accept that beast to live.
Just when Lu Yunkai was thinking about tricking Snape and McGonagall into the Chamber of Secrets and then sneaking out to chase the basilisk, there was a loud bang behind him.
"...The basilisk is back in the cave!" Lu Yunkai immediately knew what happened.
"You prepared a trap?" Snape knew it without Lu Yunkai saying anything.
"Yes." Lu Yunkai nodded, "But it was chased by me for a long time, there is no reason for it to come back so soon... Harry!!"
Lu Yunkai reacted. The basilisk couldn't have been unaware of how dangerous it was to return to this cave, but it insisted on returning. There was only one possibility: its master was calling it!
It must be Voldemort who was calling the basilisk to kill Harry and Ginny in the Chamber of Secrets.
So, without saying anything more, Lu Yunkai turned the broom around and rushed back into the cave with two roosters in his arms.
Mag and Snape, who were stunned outside the cave, also hurried in.
But the two people who were not riding brooms were not as fast as Lu Yunkai.
After a while, Lu Yunkai had returned to the huge wall again, and then he was shocked.
The body of the huge basilisk blocked the hole in the wall that was just big enough for it to enter and exit. Its body kept twisting, trying to get in.
But it couldn't.
Because outside the cave, its tail was bitten by a big cat whose fur was burned bald in several places and was dirty because of water and dirt...
The three or four scales on the basilisk were the size of the big cat, but it was bitten by the cat and couldn't move at all.
This scene was weird, just like an ant standing on the head of an elephant and giving orders.
The big cat was naturally...
"Chris!" Seeing it appear here, Lu Yunkai was overjoyed.
With the help of the soul-eating lynx, it should be much easier to deal with the basilisk.
"Woo woo woo~~" The soul-eating lynx biting the snake's tail was definitely not as relaxed as it looked. It seemed to be winking at Lu Yunkai with all its strength, asking Lu Yunkai to help.
"I... Oh!"
Lu Yunkai understood immediately and quickly checked the system.
Weapons, weapons that can cut and kill this snake! The sharper the better! The more expensive the better!
Guram, curry stick, Longinus and the like... I don't have them!
In fact, I can't afford them even if I have them!!
Forget it, sort by price! Who cares!
Lu Yunkai directly took out an axe worth 700 million gold galleons from the system, jumped off the broom, came to the bottom of the serpent monster's abdomen in front of the cave entrance, aimed at a place that looked relatively vulnerable, and chopped it with an axe.
With a bang, the axe bounced.
What the hell...
Looking at the axe worth hundreds of millions of gold galleons, Lu Yunkai was really powerless to complain.
What the hell is this serpent monster! Not only is it immune to magic, but it is also immune to physical attacks?
Why are you not invincible? ?
"Woo woo woo!!" The Soul Devouring Lynx biting the snake monster's tail looked at the two chickens tied in Lu Yunkai's arms.
"Oh! Right!!"
Lu Yunkai took out a rooster that was already frightened and motionless from his arms and held it near the twisting body of the snake monster.
The rooster, which was clucking, almost instinctively attacked the huge snake scale that was close to it.
With a puff, the rooster's beak suddenly pierced into the snake monster's scales.
A stream of purple-red blood spurted out from the wound.
The fishy smell almost made Lu Yunkai, who was splashed all over, vomit.
Lu Yunkai, who jumped away in a hurry, didn't bother to complain about why the axe worth hundreds of millions was not as good as the rooster's mouth. He quickly ran to the other side with the rooster and continued to drill holes...
He planned to kill the snake monster by bleeding.
Lu Yunkai took turns holding the two roosters and making holes in the half of the basilisk's body that was exposed outside the cave. After a while, the basilisk, which had not only the potion ineffective but also the magic that could rebound, had several more holes on its body.
If Lu Yunkai had not been unable to force the roosters to bite, the basilisk would have probably turned into a colander.
At this time, McGonagall and Snape finally hurried over.
"Oh my God!" Seeing the half of the huge snake body and the big cat holding the snake body, Professor McGonagall was shocked.
"Professor McGonagall! Don't worry about the cat! That's Chris!" Lu Yunkai was busy making a hole for the basilisk and couldn't care about anything else, so he could only shout at Professor McGonagall.
"Is this Chris?" Professor McGonagall obviously didn't know about the Soul-Eating Lynx, and she couldn't accept that the ugly cat had become so big.
"Tear into pieces!" Snape immediately used a breaking spell on the basilisk.
Well, Lu Yunkai knew immediately that the spell he had used before was ineffective, and it had nothing to do with the magic cultivation.
Because even Snape's spell was bounced off by the snake scales.
"Professor, I just used spells and potions on him, but they were ineffective. Only the rooster worked."
"Lu Yunkai, how did you know..." Professor McGonagall was still a little bit unacceptable to Lu Yunkai's reminder.
"Are Potter and Weasley in there?" Snape quickly accepted this situation and asked Lu Yunkai.
"It should be." Lu Yunkai nodded, "I'm a little worried about Harry. Although he should know that looking into the eyes of the basilisk will kill people, but..."
"There's no point in being anxious now. It's impossible to put it in." Snape was as calm as ever, "Get out of the way."
As he spoke, Snape came to a wound that Lu Yunkai had pecked open with a rooster and was gushing blood.
"God's sword has no shadow!"
A green light hit the wound
With a whoosh, the wound immediately became much larger.
"Shattered into pieces!" Snape cast a spell at that place again.
This time, the spell finally worked.
With a puff, a small hole blew out of the basilisk's body.
"Do you still have explosive corrosion potion?" Snape turned his head and looked at Lu Yunkai.
"Oh!" Lu Yunkai didn't care about the problem of conjuring a bottle of potion out of thin air. With a backhand, he threw a bottle of potion into the wound that Snape had exploded.
The black liquid that Lu Yunkai was familiar with before finally appeared.
"Woo woo woo~" The soul-eating lynx holding the snake's tail also felt the serpent's twisting due to severe pain, and hummed to remind it.
Lu Yunkai also realized this, and took out two more bottles of explosive corrosion potion and threw them at the serpent.
Then, at a speed visible to the naked eye, the huge serpent shrank, and the hole that was originally filled with its body finally revealed an air attack.
"Harry! Are you okay!"
Lu Yunkai shouted from the gap.
There was no echo.
Chris, who had been holding the snake's tail, dodged and entered the secret room through the hole that only a cat could jump through...
