A certain sword soul's infinite journey

Chapter 242

They cautiously followed the twists and turns, and finally found a once-closed wall at the end of the front. There were two intertwined snakes engraved on the wall, and several emeralds with strange colors were inlaid on them. in the eyes.

Seeing this scene, Danas and the others all looked at Harry beside him.

This time, Harry knew what he had to do without anyone telling him.

He cleared his throat, and set his eyes on the emerald that reflected the green light under the fluorescent flashes, and then let out a gloomy, hoarse hiss of Parseltongue.

The next moment, the two entangled snake-shaped sculptures seemed to come alive, spitting out stone snake letters and crawling along the wall to separate, and there was a rumbling sound from the stone wall in front of it, and the entire wall split from the middle, slowly Ease to the sides.

With the opening of the stone wall, a slightly dim light shines from the front.

Danas, Harry and the others exchanged glances, then walked in together.

This is an empty and dark secret room. There are so many thick pillars standing on both sides of the room. There are also large coiled and entangled snakes carved on the pillars. The ceiling is so high that the top cannot be seen, and it can only be melted into the darkness. , the dim light shone from an unknown place, as if the trajectory was distorted by the darkness of the roof.

Danas and Harry walked in first. Harry raised his head and looked at the stone pillars on both sides vigilantly. He was worried that the basilisk was hiding on a certain stone pillar, or in the darkness behind the stone pillar.

"Um...what does it taste like?"

Ron walked in with a look of disgust, followed by Hermione who was also pinching her nose.

Smelling the rotten and damp smell in the air, Harry curled his lips.

"It's normal for a secret room that hasn't been cleaned in 50 years to have such a smell, isn't it Danus?"

Harry turned his head, and suddenly realized that Danas had walked a long distance away. The three of them looked at each other, and hurriedly walked over. The overlapping footsteps echoed hollowly in this empty room. echoed.

After catching up, Harry asked quickly.

"Danas, what did you find?"

Danas didn't speak, he raised his head slightly, stretched out his hand and pointed forward.

Harry and the others looked in the direction he was pointing at, and immediately saw a towering statue above the ceiling. He had a wrinkled face, a long sparse and curly beard, and a wizard robe carved from stone without any traces. Extra embellishment.

"This...this is..."

Harry, Ron, and Hermione all opened their eyes wide as a wizard's name popped into their minds.

"Yes, this is the statue of Slytherin."

Danas raised his head, with a hint of emotion in his tone.

But then, he turned around and looked at the three of Harry who were in shock.

"Don't think about it, it's just a statue, it's time to decorate the scene!"

"... Arrangement?"

The three of Harry came back to their senses and looked at each other.

……

……

On the other side, Lin Yi and Dumbledore had already appeared in the tunnel.

Dumbledore held the wand in his hand, and the flickering light at the end of the wand illuminated most of the tunnel. Lin Yi opened the silver-white vertical pupils again, and these eyes also had the function of night vision.

Walking in this dark and damp tunnel, the two of them tacitly did not mention what happened just now.

But Dumbledore still peeked at Lin Yi's silver-white vertical pupils from time to time, because since Lin Yi changed into this state, Fox on his shoulder has been very restless.

Dumbledore was puzzled, but Lin Yi knew the reason very well.

Because after he changed his job to Sword Soul, his life essence has been improved, and all creatures that still have animal instincts will instinctively have a little fear and obedience towards him.

This kind of awe is purely the suppression of the source of life, and will not change because of Lin Yi's appearance and size.

Of course, the little phoenix Fox is not an ordinary creature. In its eyes, Lin Yi is a creature whose life essence is equal to it, but whose power far exceeds his. That's why it showed such richness in front of Lin Yi. look.

To a certain extent, Fox regards Lin Yi as a "similar" in a broader sense.

Lin Yi smiled at Fox, and Fox tilted his bird's head, staring straight at Lin Yi's vertical pupils with his bird eyes.

Suddenly, Dumbledore stopped in his tracks, staring forward with a slight frown.

Lin Yi also stopped.

"what happened?"

"There is the skin of the basilisk in front."

"Oh?"

Lin Yi's eyes lit up, and he walked past Dumbledore quickly, a pair of silver-white vertical pupils instantly locked on the huge coiled snakeskin on the ground.

This is a piece of snake skin about six meters long. The inside and outside of the snake skin are green, with fine and dense dark green scales attached to it. The whole snake skin is curled as it was before moulting, with only a little finger on the top. Thick and thin cracks, at first glance, look like a real giant snake sleeping.

Lin Yi squatted down, stroking the fine scales with his palms.

"Has this basilisk shed its skin recently?" Lin Yi asked aloud.

"No, not recently." Dumbledore shook his head, "It has been 1000 years since Slytherin built this chamber of secrets, and based on the lifespan of the basilisk, it has already grown to the size of the basilisk. The natural limit of fifty feet, and possibly beyond that, and the snakeskin in your hand is only twenty feet long, so..."

"So this should be the skin he shed before?"

Lin Yi looked thoughtful.

It is true, for a poisonous snake, the length of six meters is already an exaggeration, but for a basilisk that has lived for nearly a thousand years, such a length is a bit of a disgrace. count...

...Eh, wait!
Lin Yi's eyes suddenly lit up.

Since the basilisk stayed in the secret chamber for 1000 years, it is impossible to shed its skin only this time. In other words, there should be snake skins shed by the basilisk in other stages in the secret chamber!

Thinking of this, Lin Yi stretched out his hand, put the huge snake skin in front of him into the inventory, and immediately stood up as if nothing had happened, and said in a relaxed tone.

"Let's go~"

...when I can't see?
Dumbledore stared at him with black lines all over his head, but Lin Yi's face was much thicker than he imagined.

Forget it...

Anyway, there was more than one slough in the Chamber of Secrets, so Dumbledore also pretended not to see it.

But at this moment, a violent shock suddenly came from the tunnel ahead.

The two immediately looked at each other—the basilisk has been released!
Dumbledore didn't hesitate anymore, swiped his staff and put a few protective spells on Fawkes, then watched it flutter its wings and fly into the tunnel ahead with a golden trajectory.

……

……

On the other side, Harry Potter stared wide-eyed, looking at the sky in shock.

There were bursts of noise coming from the huge Slytherin statue, and the originally solemn face of the giant stone sculpture slowly opened its mouth, and a gloomy and hoarse hiss sound came from it.

It's a basilisk!
Harry turned around without hesitation, and ran towards the stone pillars on both sides together with Ron beside him.

Ron ran hard while speaking with difficulty.

"Merlin's beard, what did Danas tell you?"

Harry's heart was pounding too, and he replied with great difficulty.

"He asked me to say something in Parseltongue to the statue."

"What?"

"Speak to me, Slytherin—the greatest of the Hogwarts Four."
