Self-cultivation of the traveler of the world

Voldemort, who was turned away, became more and more frantic after seeing this scene. The wand in his hand kept firing spells, and his posture was extremely crazy.

......

"What is that sound?"

In the girls' bathroom on the third floor, Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall were carefully walking down the pipe split from the sink in the center of the bathroom.

According to Professor Gu Yi, at the end of this pipeline is the place where Voldemort's last Horcrux was stored, and where Voldemort learned how to make Horcruxes, Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets...

"...I thought, they're here already?"

"They... you mean... this voice is the voice of Professor Gu Yi fighting the Death Eaters..."

Hearing the crackling sound as loud as firecrackers, Professor McGonagall couldn't help but tremble. His pale face had no blood at all, and his lips were frighteningly white.

"...Minerva..."

Seeing the posture of Professor McGonagall beside him, Professor Dumbledore frowned, raised his hand and patted her shoulder lightly, and said in a deep voice:

"...Don't worry about Professor Gu Yi, there is a protective barrier, Tom and the others can't do anything to Professor Gu Yi for a while!

What we have to do now is equally important. If we can find the location of the secret room earlier, Professor Gu Yi can save a little delay

If you want to help him, find the secret room where Slytherin hides with me as soon as possible, and destroy Tom's Horcrux!

Only in this way can we completely end all this..."

"...well..."

Hearing Dumbledore's words, Professor McGonagall forced himself to calm down, carefully observed the surrounding forks, and took a deep breath.

"Here... there are traces of rubbing here. If I guess correctly, the traces of friction are caused by the basilisk that Professor Gu Yi said!"

Beside him, Dumbledore also noticed this trace, nodded slightly, and walked towards the fork in the road.

Behind them, a boa constrictor with sharp teeth moved slowly, spitting out letters from time to time, looking towards the direction of the fork where Dumbledore and the others were going, with a trace of fear and hesitation flashing in his eyes.

"Nagini...follow up..."

Not far ahead, Dumbledore, who seemed to be aware of Nagini's fear, turned his head and said something in a hissing voice.

And Nagini, who was behind him, struggled for a moment after hearing the command spoken in Parseltongue, and obediently followed Dumbledore towards the direction of the secret room.

Snakes cannot refuse the orders of the snake whisperer... As for why Dumbledore speaks the snake language...

He can even learn the language of the mermaid, what is a snake language?

High talent is so unreasonable...

Chapter 552 The Last Battle·The Chamber of Secrets

In the blocked pipes, there is a faint sour smell, and the accumulated water under the feet will submerge the feet. Every step you take, you can feel a slippery and slippery feeling.

It felt like walking on the inner wall of the intestinal tract that was covered with grease, it was soft, slippery and greasy, which made people very uncomfortable.

Dumbledore held a yew wood, phoenix tail feathers, and fifteen-inch-long wand. The tip of the wand exuded bright light. He walked cautiously ahead, his blue eyes were exceptionally sharp.

Following behind him was Professor McGonagall, who also held up his wand cautiously and lifted his robe slightly, but this action did not have any effect. The lower edge of the robe was already soaked in sewage.

The two of them walked towards the depths of the pipe one after the other. The more they walked in, the more sour the smell became.

When they got to the depths, the two even had to cast a bubble head spell on themselves to ensure that they would not be affected by the dirty air.

"I have been taking classes at Hogwarts for nearly 30 years, but I never thought that there is such a complicated maze hidden under Hogwarts..."

The hugeness of the pipeline group was really beyond the two's expectations. The narrow place was as tall as half a person, and the wide place could even allow Hagrid to roll around here.

The pipeline routes are intertwined and intricate. Professor McGonagall roughly estimated that the underground space is more than twice as large as the castle on the ground.

She couldn't figure it out, how did Slytherin secretly build such a huge building complex back then?

Could it be that Slytherin's name is not Salazar, but Mario, and the other giants are all blind A Bing?

"...Let's not talk about you, even I never thought that there is such a magnificent building hidden in the underground of Hogwarts.

Although there is no exact basis for saying this, according to my judgment, these buildings underground at Hogwarts were definitely not built by Mr. Slytherin alone..."

"You mean?"

"careful!"

Professor McGonagall accidentally slipped. Thanks to Dumbledore's sharp eyesight and quick hands, he helped him, so he was lucky not to fall into the sewage.

But the two of them didn't pay attention to these at this time, they still carefully observed the forks in the pipelines, and identified the road leading to the secret room.

"... I don't know if you remember, but there is such a record in "A Piece of Hogwarts School History".

In the seventeenth century, an outstanding wizard proposed and funded a comprehensive renovation of Hogwarts Castle in order to improve the quality of life of the teachers and students in the college.

The toilets and faucets we see today were built during that period!

And if I remember correctly, the wizard who proposed and was in charge of repairing Hogwarts back then was called Henriel Gaunt..."

"Gaunt?"

"Yes, it's Gaunt!"

Looking at the increasingly cloudy air, Dumbledore nodded affirmatively.

"I think the Gaunt family has always known about the existence of the Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets, and the fundamental purpose of taking the initiative to undertake Hogwarts is to hide this secret belonging to the descendants of Slytherin...

As for this labyrinth of pipes, it is not for the drainage and sewage work of the academy castle at all, it exists to cover the location of the secret room..."

After stepping over an iron fence that had been squeezed out of shape, the eyes of the two instantly widened.

"This..."

In a space the size of a Hogwarts auditorium, countless animal bones were piled up into a hill.

There has been no ventilation for a long time, and the oxygen content is almost zero. However, under the corrosion of anaerobic bacteria, the foot of the hill is still soaked in a thick layer of yellow-green viscous pus that flowed out from the decayed corpses, exuding Disgusting taste.

The smell that the two of them smelled in the pipe just now came from here.

Professor McGonagall looked at the scene in front of him in shock. Nagini, who was following them, was coiled on the railing of the calf-thin iron fence that had been squeezed and deformed, and refused to take another step inside.

"...It seems that we have found the right one!"

Looking at the snake slough that was nearly half covered by the bones, Dumbledore couldn't help but frowned.

Nagini was already considered a big boa constrictor, but the slough in front of him was more than five times bigger than Nagini.

Sixty feet long and nearly two meters thick, there are hideous barbs growing on the hideous snake skin, and the barbs are connected by a thin film. Some people believe that it is a dragon.

"My God...there are such horrible monsters hidden underground in Hogwarts...Damn Slytherin is so irresponsible!"

Seeing the scene in front of him, Professor McGonagall caressed his heart with lingering fear, tears of fear flashed from the corners of his eyes.

If this basilisk breaks through the secret room and comes to the ground of Hogwarts, what a terrible disaster it will cause, I can't blame Professor McGonagall for swearing!

Not to mention Professor McGonagall, even Dumbledore wanted to curse, you know, the basilisk is not a creature that is easy to get along with.

If you look directly into the eyes, you will die, if you are contaminated by the venom in the fangs, you will die if you are contaminated by the mucus secreted from the barbs of the snake skin. Even if you see the eyes of the basilisk indirectly, if you cannot decompose in a short time, you will die.

Once such a creature is rampant, even Dumbledore is not sure that he can properly protect the teachers and students. This kind of species that seriously threatens the survival of human beings should not have existed from the very beginning!

"Despicable Haierbo...Damn it!"

Dumbledore gritted his teeth, cursed in a low voice, then turned his head to look at Professor McGonagall and Nagini, and said in a deep voice:

"Professor Minerva, time is running out, and I won't say anything to keep you in a safe place. If we can't destroy the Horcruxes, nowhere will be safe!"

Hearing Dumbledore's words, Professor McGonagall nodded quickly, stepped forward, and said firmly:

"Don't worry, I will be careful!"

Hearing Professor McGonagall's assurance, he took a deep look at the other party, nodded slightly, then turned his head to look at Nagini, who was cowering on the iron fence, and said with a fixed look:

"Nagini... After entering in a while, our task is to kill the basilisk, and your task is to enter the place where the basilisk appeared after we have attracted the attention of the basilisk, and find the production or The way to destroy the Horcrux!

Slytherin is a Parseltongue, and the treasures left by him must be information that Parseltalkers can get. I need you to remember those information firmly, and then bring it out completely, understand? "

"Hiss..." (Can I say no?)

"I'm sorry, Nagini...except for this..."

"Hiss..." (You four-legged worm worse than an earthworm...)

Chapter 553 The Last Battle: Fighting the Basilisk

"Once you hear something in a while, don't hesitate, close your eyes immediately, turn your head to look at the shadow, understand?"

Leaving the empty space just now, and passing through a safe iron door with snake language as the secret language of the mechanism, the two and one snake finally came to the end of their trip - Slytherin's secret room.

This is a space wider than the Hogwarts auditorium. The ground is paved with blue stone slabs, and there are bottomless pools on both sides of the stone slabs.

The water pool is deep and cold, and there is a waterway at the bottom of the pool that leads directly to the Black Lake. The basilisks living in the secret room obtain the food they need to survive through this water pool that leads directly to the Black Lake.

That is to say, the basilisk cannot survive underwater, otherwise, the species in the Black Lake would have died out long ago.

Perhaps because of Parseltongue, Slytherins had an unusual predilection for snakes, the feared reptiles, during their lifetime.

The snake-shaped Slytherin house logo, the S-shaped snake family emblem, the green snake-shaped relic pendant... In all aspects of his life, the existence of snakes is inseparable, and his secret room is naturally the same.

On the walls on both sides of the pool, there are terrifying snake-like sculptures, whose bodies are submerged in the water, only the ferocious snake head emerges from the water, with its mouth open, revealing its letter, and baring its terrifying fangs.

The fierce eyes seemed to be alive, cursing every uninvited guest like Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall.

"Don't worry, I will be careful!"

Hearing Dumbledore's words, Professor McGonagall took a deep breath, tightened the wand in his hand, focused his attention to the highest point, and nodded slowly.

Seeing that Professor McGonagall was getting ready, Dumbledore turned his head, aimed at the statue of a Slytherin face about twenty meters away, raised his wand, and shouted loudly in Parseltongue.

"Speak to me, Slytherin, the greatest of the Big Four!"

'The corner...'

There was a harsh rubbing sound, followed by the sound of the mechanism running, and the lower lip of the Slytherin face gradually cracked a hole more than two meters high.

"Close your eyes!!!"

With a loud cry, Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall closed their eyes together, and quickly waved the wands in their hands. The snake-shaped statues all turned into living ones and pressed towards the hollow.

"Hiss..." (The killing begins...)

A threatening chill hit, and the hairs of Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall stood on end instantly, and the ferocious python slowly walked out of the hole.

The giant python was about eighty feet long and more than two meters thick. Its whole body was not like an ordinary snake. It had shiny scales, but was covered with toad-like poisonous adenomas.

The dense fleshy lumps kept oozing bright yellow mucus, dripping on the floor, and emitting a puff of blue smoke.

The barbs on the body are ferocious, and the membrane between the barbs is gently swaying from side to side. For a basilisk without a letter, this membrane is another powerful means for it to sense its prey.

Of course, the scariest and most conspicuous thing about the basilisk is always its pair of eyes that will kill you if you look directly at it.

Those are a pair of bright yellow, crystal-clear eyes, very beautiful, but also very dangerous. They emit a terrifying light all the time, attracting creatures to look at them.

It was born with the mission of killing, and every feature on its body was born for killing, and it doesn't know anything else except killing.

Of course, it doesn't need to know anything other than killing...

When it saw two bipedal creatures, and one was a Parseltongue without Slytherin blood, its only thought was to kill them all...

Just like it has killed other creatures countless times...

"GO!"

With a yell, Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall turned around and ran towards the secret room. While running, they also used the shadow as an observation medium to attract the attention of the basilisk. .

The cooperation between the two is incomparable tacit, one controls the attack of the giant snake, and the other emits spots of light, ensuring that the shadow is within the observation range of the two at all times.

There was no way, at this time Fox had turned into a bald chicken without feathers, unable to provide them with any powerful help, otherwise, why would the actions of the two need to be so troublesome?

Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall left, the basilisk closely followed them, and behind the basilisk, there were even a group of giant snakes transformed from giant snake statues, chasing after them, even entering the secret room A huge hole was knocked out of the wall.

After a long while, the water splashes in the pools on both sides of the secret room gradually subsided, and a small worm more than four meters long came out timidly from a crack in the stone, vomited tremblingly, and its eyes were full of struggle and excitement. fear.

But there is no way, the snake can't refuse the order of the Parseltongue. Although Dumbledore doesn't have the blood of the Parseltongue, she is not a basilisk, is she?

The basilisk is not afraid of the learned Parseltongue, she is afraid, and what the basilisk dares to do, she does not dare.

She's just a boa constrictor who's lived a little longer, she's messing with whoever she wants, and when she meets such an unlucky...

It was there, the mouth of the Slytherin face, now a dark cave, where Dumbledore contained the most urgent information.

Under the control of the Parseltongue, she had no choice but to crawl towards the place where the basilisk breath was strongest.

Damn four-legged worm...
