Chapter 131: The Blood Curse is Removed

The basilisk is a giant venomous snake, also known as the king of snakes.

of

serpents). It is a creature bred by dark wizards.

The despicable Herbo was the first to breed a basilisk: he hatched an egg under the body of a toad, and the creature known as the basilisk hatched.

Male basilisks inherit some of the characteristics of the egg from which they came, including a feather on the top of their head.

The basilisk can grow up to 50 feet long and has dark green skin and yellow eyes.

The surface of its skin is covered in scales that deflect spells.

Its venom is a highly toxic substance that can kill a person within minutes and leave the person dazed, blurred vision and hallucinating before death. The effect of this venom is long-lasting, and even five years after the death of the basilisk, the venom it originally produced can still be used to damage inanimate objects beyond repair.

As such, it is one of the few substances powerful enough to destroy a Horcrux.

However, the most terrifying thing should be its gaze, which can kill any person or animal that comes into contact with it in an instant.

This kind of gaze that can directly deprive a creature of life is also the main reason why spiders are afraid of basilisks.

Spiders have 360-degree vision and cannot close their eyes. This makes it easy for them to make eye contact with the basilisk.

However, this does not mean that the Basilisk has no weaknesses.

After Haierbo cultivated the first basilisk, he discovered that the phoenix was its natural enemy, and the tears of the phoenix were the only antidote to the venom of the basilisk.

The basilisk's trump card, its life-stealing gaze, was useless against Phoenix.

It is also possessed by Parseltongue.

Parseltongue can also put the basilisk into a deep sleep, thereby preventing it from continuing to grow and entering a state similar to suspended animation, allowing it to live longer without being limited by its natural lifespan (900 years).

After Haierbo, the power of the basilisk was also envied by other black wizards and feared by white wizards.

I don’t know which black wizard or white wizard, and I don’t know how long it took, to discover the most obvious weakness of the basilisk. The crowing of the rooster is fatal to it.

Its deadly gaze can also be weakened, and when the victim's gaze meets the basilisk's gaze indirectly, such as through reflection, they are merely petrified.

And as long as there are enough reflections, the threat can be weakened to close to nothing.

However, wearing glasses will not save a person's life when making eye contact with a basilisk, because the glasses still allow the gaze to pass directly through, rather than causing reflections like mirrors and cameras.

Since the weaknesses of the basilisk were discovered one by one, it became fashionable to cultivate a basilisk and use it to protect one's wealth.

However, since the Middle Ages, breeding basilisks has been considered illegal, but this practice is easy to conceal, because people only need to remove the eggs from the toad before the arrival of the Department for the Control of Magical Creatures.

This has also led to one thing, which is the proliferation of the practice of cultivating basilisks again.

Although most wizards who started cultivating basilisks on a whim failed (thinking that making basilisks was just about placing eggs under toads' bodies), one of these failed wizards had an unknown wizard mistakenly target the toad that hatched the eggs. Replaced with a venomous snake.

So the Chickentail was born, and as soon as it was born, it took away the life of its creator.

The wizards still don't know who the unlucky guy is until now.

Unlike the Basilisk, the Chickentail has no obvious weaknesses, but it also has feathers and scales that make it scream and deflect spells. The birth of this dangerous creature also promoted the Ministry of Magic's crackdown on breeding basilisks.

As a result, there have been no recorded sightings of basilisks in Britain for at least four hundred years.

This is why Ryan must go to the secret room to find the basilisk.

The breeding methods of basilisks have been destroyed one by one, including Smith.

There are no methods for cultivating basilisks in any books related to Helbo in Smith's collection.

Because it was so dangerous, even Riddle, who had a Parseltongue, could not completely eliminate its danger, and Myrtle lost her life due to a moment of carelessness.

Although Ryan can directly create the basilisk ritual through thinking, or directly find the possible basilisk eggs.

But Nagini couldn't wait.

The blood curse on her body is already at a critical stage, and she needs a snake more powerful than her snake body to serve as the sustenance of her animal nature and bear the blessing of the Dark Earth Mother.

This time is now. Ryan pointed his wand at the sky.

That is Sirius, which appears in the southern sky in winter and is located at the lower left of Orion. It is the brightest star in the winter night sky and is a first-magnitude star in the constellation Canis Major.

This is the most important part of the secret of the birth of the basilisk, the mysterious star that is regarded in many myths as the true source of mysterious power.

Blue stars fell from the sky and gathered on the tip of Ryan's wand one by one, forming a blue star.

The next second, the stars sputtered out, forming a sparkling magic cage like a giant halo.

This magical cage surrounded Nagini, spinning and coiling inside.

An obscure, weird, low, and sacred voice began to sound from Ryan's mouth, and the magic cage began to float towards the basilisk coiled by the pool.

The ground began to shake, all the surrounding light suddenly disappeared, and a strange darkness suddenly appeared from the basilisk.

The sound, light, and wind all disappeared, leaving only a long spell in an unknown language.

After an unknown amount of time, a high-pitched snake cry sounded from the night sky as the last syllable of Ryan's spell fell.

The long snake body hovered in the air, and the bright green snake scales began to be filled with blue starlight, and the bright yellow eyes also turned blue like the sky.

A naked, graceful female body was lying on the head of this drastically changed, gravity-defying basilisk.

It was amazing. Ryan disappeared on the spot, and the next moment he appeared in front of the woman who should be Nagini.

Ryan waved his hand, and the starlight turned into silk threads, which flew to Nagini's white and exquisite female body, and a dress of the same color as the basilisk scales appeared on Nagini's naked body.

Master~ A charming and innocent voice came from Nagini's mouth who had just opened her eyes.

She had clearly regained her human form, but she was still twisting like a snake. Her little face was lifted up from Ryan's legs, and finally appeared on Ryan's side.

She also rubbed Ryan's cheek from time to time, acting like a spoiled child.

Nagini, do you remember who you are? Ryan stood straight, with a tall girl wrapped around him, which seemed to be no problem for him at all.

Nagini is Nagini, the master's Nagini?

But it's so strange now, Nagini can fly Nagini has two bodies Nagini looked at the snake body under her in confusion, and the snake body also looked at Nagini with beautiful sky-blue snake eyes.
