The basilisk was writhing on the ground in pain, and the phoenix transformed by Tom attacked its head again and again, leaving wounds. However, the size difference between the two was too big, just like stabbing someone with a toothpick.
Maybe a toothpick can stab someone blind, but no one will be stabbed to death by a toothpick.
The basilisk suffered repeated pains and was blind, and it had lost its mind.
It wandered blindly in the secret room, spreading blood everywhere.
Tom hovered above its head and changed its form into a three-headed dog.
"boom!"
The huge three-headed dog fell from the sky and hit the basilisk hard on the head, making a muffled sound. Tom felt that the head under his paw made a popping sound, a bit like breaking a cucumber.
.
Normally, the basilisk is the natural enemy of animals with many eyes like the three-headed dog, but now that the basilisk's eyes are blind, in the eyes of the three-headed dog, it is just a big spicy stick that is more than ten meters long.
The snake and the dog hit the ground heavily. Tom, adhering to the spirit of taking advantage of his illness to kill him, patched his claws a few more times until his claws were covered with white paste.
The basilisk stopped struggling, and its vitality was rapidly passing away.
Standing on the almost smashed head, Tom returned to his human form, quickly put his hand on the top of the basilisk's head, and then recorded the basilisk's shape. Then, without any hesitation, he transformed into a phoenix and soared into the sky.
, keeping a considerable distance from the basilisk.
Tom knew that snakes were as vital as cockroaches. Every year, several people bitten by venomous snakes with their heads cut off made the news. The basilisk was also known as the Snake King, so he had to be cautious. So Tom stopped at Slytherin's
Looking over my shoulder, I watched the basilisk below no longer make any sound, and in the end only the snake's tail was left twitching occasionally.
But Tom didn't go down. He carefully observed the secret room, trying to find if there was a light switch - there should be. After all, the original purpose of the secret room was a classroom. With the current lighting environment, it would be too outrageous to think of it as a classroom.
.
After turning into a phoenix, Tom's vision became much stronger. He saw that the snake-shaped sculptures on the pillars seemed to have a layer of black dirt on them. He had a vague idea, and then combined with the style of this secret room, Tom
It turned into a bird and snake and said: "Turn on the light!"
When there was no response, Tom changed the word.
"bright!"
This time Salazar Slytherin's sculpture reacted, and a ball of green flames appeared on his index finger. The flame floated down from the index finger and landed on the serpent head embossed on a pillar.
Immediately, a flame rose up from the snake's open mouth, and the flame quickly climbed up the snake's body. Soon, the snake coiled on the pillar turned into a fire snake - before, there should be a fire snake between the snake scales on the pillar.
It was soaked in grease. The snake-shaped reliefs on each pillar were connected to the ceiling, so the flames spread rapidly. In less than two minutes, all the pillars in the room were ignited with flames, lighting up the entire secret room.
.
As if it felt light and warmth, the basilisk on the ground suddenly started to twist again. It raised its upper body unwillingly, looked at the ceiling with its hammered head, and opened its mouth wide. This action was maintained for a few seconds, and then
It hit the floor hard, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.
This top magical animal, if not for Tom's calculations, would have been the dominant figure in the magic world, with almost no natural enemies. However, due to poor information, Tom calculated it from scratch to death. If Tom could do it again, it would be even easier.
But the danger involved is hard to estimate. If Tom had not recorded the complete form of Fox, he would not have come alone.
The basilisk should be completely dead.
Tom looked around the secret room. The flames were burning brightly. The grease prepared by Slytherin must be of high quality, because there was no smell of oil smoke at all during the burning process. Instead, it gave off a delicate fragrance. And with the appearance of the flames, the room
The temperature inside is also rising rapidly, and the gloomy, damp feeling has been completely eliminated - Slytherin thinks he is the greatest founder, how could he turn his secret room into a villain's base camp?
You must pursue the ultimate luxury and grandeur.
The bright environment in front of him was proof. Tom estimated that this lighting would burn at least hundreds of kilograms of essential oil. Smelling the delicious aroma, Tom felt that it was not the smell of oil at all, but the smell of gold galleons.
"The next step is to check if Slytherin has left anything here."
In fact, it was already obvious that all the pillars were burning, except for one that had no flames on it.
Tom landed in front of the pillar and stood for a few seconds. The floor tiles on the ground lit up. The floor tiles slowly rose up, lifting Tom into the air. Now he could see the ceiling clearly.
About fifty meters above the ground, the wall of the secret room is recessed here, forming a roughly two-meter-wide passage with the wall below. The edge of the passage is decorated with ornate railings - but after thousands of years, most of the
The railings are in decay, and only some gold and silver carvings remain intact.
Tom landed gently on the aisle. He walked along the aisle to the left of the Slytherin statue and found a silver door here.
He glanced outside and found that the entire Chamber of Secrets had a panoramic view. He imagined that after Slytherin had finished handling things in the room, he walked out of the room and stood here, overlooking the lower level of the Chamber of Secrets like a god.
"Ant." This was the word that came to his mind. Standing so high up, it is easy to have the illusion that everyone in the world is an ant.
Tom turned to look at the silver door, which was smooth and unmarked, with no such thing as a door handle.
He didn't dare to break in rashly. He remembered that there was a magic in Gringotts that could only allow certain people to enter. Anyone else who did so would be sucked in by the door and would be trapped inside the door, unable to get out.
Now if Tom is sucked in, it will conservatively be estimated that it will take several months before someone can release him. Then he probably has no other way to deal with it except transforming into a basilisk and choosing to sleep.
Thinking of this, Tom raised his hand and glanced at his ring. The fire dragon on it had disappeared, replaced by a snake.
In doing so, Tom also made serious considerations. Although the ring has six sides, there are only five empty spaces. He is about to transform into five magical creatures and inherit some of his abilities.
He has previously recorded the bird snake, phoenix, fire dragon, unicorn and three-headed dog. If the basilisk wants to record it, it must take the place of one of them. The bird snake may need to be used in the subsequent exploration of the secret room.
Well, unicorns have a strong purifying effect on the soul, so Tom needs mental defense means. The three-headed dog has too strong an advantage in close combat and cannot be replaced, so only phoenixes and fire dragons are left.
The phoenix can achieve nirvana! Even if Tom washes away the others, he will not replace this one - God knows if the recorded phoenix has the ability to achieve nirvana. According to the characteristics of the system, there is a high probability that it does not. There is no phoenix without nirvana.
, what is the difference between it and a flying turkey? In other words, it can be used as a wet nurse.
On the other hand, the fire dragon's flying ability is heavier than that of the phoenix, its magic and physical resistance is about the same as that of a three-headed dog, and its fire-breathing ability is useless because Noble was still a child when it was recorded... After thinking about it comprehensively, Tom changed it to the fire dragon.
Basilisk.
This is also the problem he encountered: as he grows up, he encounters more and more powerful magical animals, and he always has to learn to make choices.
Just like a game team, there are four positions, generally a main C, a nanny or shield, an auxiliary and a tool man. No one will use a four-main C lineup, so coordination issues must be considered.
Tom moved a little further away from the silver door. He circled in the other direction and came to the other side of the Slytherin stone sculpture, and found that there was also a silver door here.
The exploration of the secret room has reached a dead end.
No, there was another spot. Tom looked at the black hole in the stone sculpture's mouth.
Tom has always had a question: What has the basilisk been eating for more than a thousand years?
Although the basilisk is a magical animal that has a long life and can hibernate, it has not cultivated immortality after all and cannot sit in seclusion for a thousand years. During the thousand years of slumber, it has to wake up several times and shed its skin, right?
What does it eat after waking up?
A giant snake more than ten meters long can't even eat a mouse to its fullest! It can't be that Slytherin has left food rations for the Basilisk for a thousand years.
So Tom planned to enter the statue's mouth to find out.
The mouth of the statue has also been carefully repaired, and the ground is paved with neat bluestone slabs. There is a lot of mucus from the basilisk on the slabs. The surrounding walls are inlaid with many small fluorescent stones, which can also provide some
A weak light source.
Tom walked along the stone road, walked dozens of steps, and came to a slightly wider hall. There were some snake skin relics scattered here and there, but most of them had been broken into pieces.
It can be seen that this is where the basilisk lived before.
The hall has one entrance and two exits. One exit seems to lead to the ground, and the other leads to the underground.
Tom went into the upward exit.
The road this time had a slight slope. The tunnel slowly went upwards, and there was a door inside the tunnel that required a Parseltongue to open. After passing through the door, Tom walked for ten minutes and could not see the end of the tunnel at a glance.
So he simply turned into a phoenix and flew forward rapidly. After flying for a few minutes, he could faintly see the light of the exit. Finally, he flew out of the tunnel and found himself in a dense forest. Tom recognized the direction a little and felt that he
It's like being in the mountains surrounding Hogwarts.
Tom seems to know what the basilisk's food is.
When it wakes up from hunger, it will crawl out of the tunnel and come outside to hunt. When it is full, it will follow the orders left by Slytherin and return to the secret room to wait for the Slytherin heir to wake up - the high probability of the basilisk leaving is
Another tunnel going downwards.
As for the downward tunnel, Tom made a bold guess: that tunnel most likely leads to the Black Lake.
