As the two of them were thinking about what to do next, a rustling of footsteps sounded behind them. Xing Ze and Ai quickly turned around, and the figure in the robe suddenly waved the wooden staff in his hand.
The impact of the magic made Xing Ze fly back, and the moment he landed, his hands and feet were bound by countless vines growing from the ground. These vines blessed by magic were as strong as steel bars, and Xing Ze struggled in vain
It didn't have any effect.
Ellie's situation was not optimistic either. Although she quickly blocked the opponent's magic with defensive spells, magic kept coming towards her.
While parrying with all her strength, she thought about retreating to Xing Ze. However, the opponent's spell came too quickly and powerfully. After barely holding on for a while, she was defeated.
"You two did a good job of making a fool of yourself." Scia Reese praised him. He staggered forward, stretched out his withered hand, and the magic power gathered at his fingertips.
The eldest lady raised her wand and completed a spell as quickly as she could. The two spells collided and burst into dazzling light. A few seconds later, Ellie was hit by the magic and the wand in her hand fell to the ground.
At the same time, the snake man had come to her side, and before she could resist, she was injected with a green potion.
In an instant, Miss Wizard felt her heart tremble violently several times. She felt that she could no longer breathe at all. The feeling of suffocation only lasted for a while, but it was enough to cause her endless pain.
There was a smile on the snake man's face, if that could be called a smile, "Okay, you two. Now let's talk about the previous transaction."
The vines that tied Xing Ze completely dispersed, and Xing Ze jumped up from the ground. He was about to rush towards the snake man, but when he saw the painful Ellie at the snake man's feet, he couldn't help but stop.
"What did you do to her?"
"Don't be too nervous, Xing Ze." Reese explained calmly, "It's just a little neurotoxin. The toxin will erupt every twenty minutes. If her will is strong enough, she can get through it."
"I'll help you get the Snake Eyes, but I need the antidote."
"Of course. In addition, our previous deal is still valid. As long as you help me get the Snake Eyes, I can help you return to your original world. I said, Xing Ze, we are a civilized race."
Xing Ze didn't say anything more, he just took a deep breath and looked at Ellie on the ground. The eldest lady was also looking at him.
"Okay, don't be reluctant to leave. The next poison outbreak will only take twenty minutes. Go quickly, Xing Ze." The snake man said while throwing a leather scroll to Xing Ze.
It quickly explained: "There are ways to open the first secret door, and there are ways to open the second secret door. In addition, I have to remind you that there are other things in the secret room. Keep your voice down and don't disturb it.
.”
Xing Ze knew that Reese was referring to the basilisk. He put the scroll into the ring and turned towards Hogwarts.
Since that time on the train, Xing Ze has not run so fast. That time he was trying to attract the ice demon to save the students who had saved the train, but this time he wanted to save Ellie.
Whether he can return to his own world is no longer important. Now he just wants to let Ellie live. Along the way, countless thoughts and ideas flashed through his mind.
Ask Dumbledore for help and do as Rhys said... In the midst of such random thoughts, he came to the main entrance of Hogwarts.
There were still thirteen minutes left before Ellie's next poison attack. Xing Ze just took a long breath and walked quickly into the academy.
He took out the usable strengthening potion from the ring and poured bottle after bottle into his mouth. The school had not started yet, and he only met the janitor Filch along the way.
The two simply greeted each other, and Xing Ze pretended to be calm and pulled up the collar of his magic robe to cover the blood vessels that had turned black due to excessive intake of magic potion.
Not long after, he arrived at the women's bathroom as the scroll pointed out. He didn't speak Parseltongue, but Reese had another way to get Xing Ze to open the secret room.
As a spell was completed, a strange hissing sound sounded in the bathroom. Suddenly, the central pool started to move. The pool slowly disappeared from sight, revealing a very thick water pipe that could accommodate a person.
People get in.
"I hope the snake has fallen asleep." Xing Ze muttered and got into the pipe. The pipe had twists and turns, seven twists and turns, and the slope was very steep all the way down, and it was also slimy.
When he landed, Xing Ze's whole body was covered with black mud, like a drowned dog that had rolled in the mud.
"I really don't know why Slytherins love sewers so much."
He stood up, determined the direction, and continued to move forward. After turning one turn after another, Xing Ze finally came to the end. He saw the solid wall, just like the one in the movie, with two
Snakes intertwined with each other, their eyes were set with large, shining emeralds.
This is the real door to the Chamber of Secrets. The difference from the movie is that this door not only requires the opening spell of Parseltongue, but also requires contact with the invisible barrier set up by the snake-man Reese.
After being betrayed by Voldemort and losing one of the Serpent's Eyes, Scia Reese left an invisible barrier here to ensure that the second Serpent's Eye would not fall into Voldemort's hands.
According to the spell given on the scroll, Xing Ze waved his wand, and as the invisible barrier of the spell began to appear, a strange glass-like shield slowly dissipated.
After completing the spell, Xing Ze let out a long breath, and then relied on the old method to break the last secret door.
Behind that door, Xing Ze knew what he would encounter. Various potions were rushing through his body, and he had to hurry up.
As the Parseltongue sounded, the two snakes on the wall separated, and the stone wall cracked from the middle and slowly slid to both sides.
Xing Ze walked in cautiously, and he saw those stone pillars with entangled snakes, towering and supporting the ceiling that melted into the darkness at high places, casting long and strange shadows on the whole room that was filled with green and mysterious mist.
of black shadow.
The whole scene is similar to the one in the movie, except it is not as bright. At the position of the last pair of stone pillars, there stands a statue as tall as the room itself.
The sculpture was very old, with a long and sparse beard that almost reached the hem of the wizard's robe carved in stone.
Salazar Slytherin. Xing Ze recited the name in his heart. He quickly approached the sculpture and looked up. The left eyeball of the sculpture was emitting a green and dark light.
The snake's eye should be there. He cast a levitating spell on himself and flew to the left eye of the sculpture.
The green strange gem exuded a dark green light. The light was not strong, but it was extremely attractive. Xing Ze stretched out his hand to hold the gem and took it off without much effort.
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred, and the light of the snake's eyes dimmed, like a poisonous snake moving its eyeballs. After this change, its light was even more dazzling than before, even to the point of dazzling.
Xing Ze landed quickly. His hand holding the gem was slowly petrifying, and the blue beak escaped from his arm with a "whoosh". The petrification speed was getting faster and faster, and soon spread to his forearm.
"Well done, messenger, I really saw the right person." Reese's unpleasant voice sounded behind Xing Ze. He moved his fingers, and the floating Ellie floated towards Xing Ze.
"I expected that Tom would tamper with the Snake Eyes, haha, very good, very good, messenger, your sacrifice has brought about the continuation of a race." The snake man smiled proudly.
Xing Ze grabbed the snake's eye with his other hand and said, "I got what you asked for, where's the antidote?"
"Ah, about this. I always keep my word, but I have to wait until I get the gem first." Reese slowly walked towards Xing Ze, muttering something in a low voice as he walked.
Slytherin's huge stone face moved. Its mouth opened, opening wider and wider, and finally formed a huge black hole. Something moved in the mouth of the statue, and something rustled from the depths of the statue.
Sliding upwards.
The protagonist of the secret room finally appeared. It quickly went down the statue. Xing Ze could hear the friction of snake scales across the wall. The sound got closer and closer, and finally stopped behind them.
Then, the ugly snake head stretched out from Xing Ze's back, its mouth full of sharp teeth opened slightly, and a crimson snake thread went in and out, greedily looking for all living things.
"Good boy, good boy." Reese stretched out his hand and gently stroked the basilisk's face, "Go, look at the door, don't let anyone in."
The basilisk hissed and twisted its body towards the door of the secret room.
"You must not understand why I can come in. Hogwarts has a barrier set up by Dumbledore himself, and the things in dreams can't get in at all."
Like all high-ranking people, Reese is not immune to pride, and he begins to brag about his plans and strategies.
"Antidote!" Xing Ze growled, holding the gem tightly in his hand.
"Oh, my dear messenger, don't be so anxious. The second attack of poison has already begun. Let's see if this young lady can survive it."
Ellie looked in pain, and she breathed heavily in order to get more oxygen into her body to supply it to her rapidly beating heart.
The snake man admired all this. He was not in a hurry, nor was he afraid that Xing Ze would sneak attack. The petrification had spread to his waist. This poor guy didn't have much time.
"I left the first secret door just to deal with Dumbledore's barrier. From the day I woke up, I have been studying humans and wizards. Haha, I know you all too well. I also know that during the first time
How will the wizards respond when the secret chamber is opened?"
Having said this, Reese proudly stretched out his hand and took away the gem from Xing Ze's hand. It admired the relics of its ancestors with enthusiasm in its eyes.
"No matter what, I still have to praise you, messenger. I didn't expect you to be able to resist petrification for so long. Let's see whether this young lady can't hold on anymore or you turn into a sculpture first."
Ellie stared at Rhys with angry eyes.
Xing Ze lowered his hand and said softly: "It seems that my luck has run out. I'm sorry, dear lady." He was able to survive until now entirely because of the power of the potion.
At this moment, a blue beak that turned into a raven appeared out of nowhere. It flew past very fast, trying to take away the gem in the snake man's hand, but Reese was faster. It ducked sideways and avoided
It was attacked, and when it was about to use magic to deal with the demon, it failed to lift the wooden staff in its hand.
"My luck hasn't run out yet." Ellie growled. She survived the second poison attack and used her weak body to make the final resistance.
Xing Ze smiled and whispered: "Go, Blue Beak, go!"
The raven turned around and charged again. Reese angrily tried to kick Ellie away. As soon as its foot was raised, it was caught by a black tentacle. Xingze stretched out his right hand that had not yet been petrified.
With the cooperation of Duofang, the blue beak successfully took away the snake's eye. With a burst of bright green light, the blue beak turned into a black mist and enveloped the gem.
Light, sound, temperature... everything was frozen at this moment, and then moved quickly. Xing Ze felt that everything around him began to distort, including Reese and Ellie.
They seemed to have fallen into the vortex of time and space. Before everything became chaotic, Xing Ze saw Ai Li hugging him with all her strength.
"I'll take you out," she said.
"No, let's go, let's go." Xing Ze saw that the body of Reese who was closest to the whirlpool was twisted, and the horror was clearly displayed on the monster's face.
Then, he saw the blue light that lit up, as clear and blue as the sky. It was the most beautiful light he had ever seen in his life, and it was the light of burning magic.
He saw Ellie's mouth move, but he could no longer hear it. Everything was sucked into the dark whirlpool.
