"OK."

Harry nodded, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, as if he was ready.

He took out a golden feather from his sleeve. The feather was shining with a mysterious and dazzling light, as if it contained endless power.

Harry put the feather to his lips and whispered:

"Fox, Fox, it's your turn."

As he finished speaking, the golden feather suddenly caught fire and instantly turned into a ball of blazing fire.

A beautiful phoenix slowly emerged from the fire.

Its feathers were as golden as fire, emitting a fiery breath; its wings were broad and powerful, stirring up a wave of heat as it flapped. Fox raised his head and chirped, his voice clear and melodious, echoing throughout the room.

Fox spread his wings and flew high, rushing towards the entrance of the basilisk's cave.

It was extremely fast, like a burning meteor, and rushed into the dark cave in the blink of an eye.

Phoenix and others witnessed Fox's departing back, and a strong sense of confidence surged in their hearts.

They knew that with Fox joining the team, the battle would become more promising.

Everyone held their weapons tightly, ready to fight at any time.

“This must be the uplifting effect brought by the phoenix’s cry.”

Phoenix thought to himself.

He felt the courage and determination surging in his heart, and his heart was filled with anticipation for the upcoming battle.

Ginny was stunned when she saw Fawkes, a look of disbelief on her face.

However, before she could react, Fox rushed into the hole like lightning.

Ginny's body suddenly began to emit a thick black smoke, which quickly spread, as if covering the entire space.

Then, the black smoke slowly condensed into a human figure, gradually revealing the figure of a young man.

The young man had a handsome face, but he exuded a chilling gloom.

At the same time, Ginny's body lost support and fell limply to the ground, still holding a black notebook tightly in her hand.

The young man turned around abruptly, looking sharply in the direction where Fox was flying from, and shouted:

“Who is it? Come out!”

At this moment, he secretly wondered in his heart, could it be that Principal Dumbledore came to stop him?

After all, Fawkes has always been Headmaster Dumbledore's pet. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel alert.

However, when he saw that there were only four little wizards walking out of the darkness, he was stunned for a moment, and then he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The young man thought to himself:

"Fortunately, it's not Headmaster Dumbledore..."

As for why there were only four little wizards, it was naturally because Phoenix hid quietly. He didn't want to be as easily taken advantage of as Harry and the others.

After all, this was the first time for them to face this level of danger, and Phoenix, as an "experienced" wizard, knew when to remain calm and rational.

Moreover, in the original book, Harry could easily defeat the basilisk alone with the help of Fawkes. Now there are four of them, and they are stronger than before. There is no reason for them to lose.

Therefore, Phoenix decided to continue hiding himself and observe the situation.

He just needed to make sure he could successfully complete the main mission today, there was no need to risk exposing himself.

At this moment, the young man finally noticed the scar on Harry's forehead. A hint of surprise appeared on his face, and he muttered to himself:

"You...you are Harry Potter?"

Harry stared at the young man in front of him without fear and asked loudly:

"Yes, I am Harry Potter. Who are you? What have you done to Ginny?"

Hearing Harry's question, the young man was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter, his voice full of excitement and madness. While laughing, he shouted to Harry:

"Me? Hahahaha!"

"My name is Tom Riddle. As for the little girl, don't worry. She is fine for now."

Tom gave a cruel smile, and cried:

"But don't even think about leaving here alive today."

His tone was cold and murderous, causing those present to feel a chill.

He seemed to have absolute confidence in his own strength and plan, ready to catch them all in one fell swoop.

However, as his voice fell, the surroundings fell into dead silence.

The smile on Tom's face gradually froze as he began to realize that things were not going as he expected.

Tom frowned and made another sharp "hissing" sound, this time even louder, as if he was giving orders to someone hiding in the dark.

But, there was still no response.

Time passed minute by minute, and there was still no sound from the cave entrance.

The originally tense atmosphere became even more weird, causing people to feel an inexplicable sense of uneasiness.

Just when everyone was puzzled, a splash of water suddenly surged from the pool nearby, and a huge snake monster suddenly emerged from the water.

Its body twisted and it let out a painful hissing sound, which echoed throughout the space and was creepy.

Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to the snake monster struggling in pain, and their hearts were filled with astonishment and confusion.

What on earth had happened? Why was the basilisk here, and behaving so strangely?

It turned out that just now, after Fox entered the cave, he pounced on the basilisk's eyes without hesitation.

However, the basilisk was naturally unwilling to be outdone, and immediately launched a counterattack, engaging in a fierce battle with Fox.

Although the space at the entrance of the cave was small, Fox's amazing speed made it impossible for the basilisk to touch even a single feather.

Instead, Fox flexibly circled around the basilisk, causing it to fall into extreme dizziness.

At a fork in the road, the basilisk accidentally dived into a pool of water. As a result, it lost its concentration and was blinded by Fox who took the opportunity to peck out its eyes.

The sudden blow caused the basilisk to suffer uncontrollably and its body began to twist uncontrollably, gradually becoming irritable and angry.

"Damn Phoenix!"

Tom cursed under his breath, gnashing his teeth.

At the same time, Fox emerged from another hole, chirped happily, and then flew back quickly along the way he came.

Seeing this, Draco shouted excitedly:

"Let's rush forward. The basilisk has lost its eye. The biggest threat has been eliminated."

As he spoke, he cast a spell, and a ball of blazing flames burst into flames, releasing them directly towards the basilisk.

Seeing this, Tom laughed disdainfully and said:

"You underestimated the basilisk. Even if it has no eyes, it is enough to kill you."

Just as he said, the flames burned on the basilisk but did not leave any trace at all.

Harry, Ron, Hermione and Draco were also caught up in a fight with the basilisk.

To be precise, it is more like a cat-and-mouse game - Harry and the other three play the role of the mouse Jerry, and the basilisk is the ferocious Tom (of course, the Tom here is not the one mentioned before).

Phoenix frowned as he looked at the scene in front of him, because the situation was too dangerous. If the basilisk's tail landed on Harry and the others, they would be seriously injured even if they didn't die.

"By the way, is there something important missing?"
