Chapter 117 Basilisk

Hermione took Harry and Maple to the library. If the scope of monsters was limited to snakes, it would be much easier to find them in the library.

Hermione's performance in the library made Harry and Maple stunned. Although Hermione was not able to look through the entire collection of books in the library, she could clearly understand the catalogs of most of the books in the library.

When looking for clues about Nicoléme, Hermione knew where the corresponding books were in the library even though she had not yet read the contents of the books.Another example is the book "Powerful Potion for Making Polyjuice Potion". Hermione has not read the content of the book, but she knows that there is such a book in the restricted area and can quickly find it from the restricted area.

"Here, look at this -" Hermione held an old library book, turned to a certain page and read to Maple and the others: "In our country, there are many terrible beasts and monsters wandering. Among them, the most bizarre and lethal one is the Basilisk. This snake can become very large in size and usually lives for hundreds of years. It is hatched from a male egg by a toad. . The way it kills is very shocking. In addition to its deadly fangs, the basilisk's glare can also kill people. Anyone caught in its gaze will die immediately. The spider will run away when it sees the basilisk. , because the basilisk is the mortal enemy of the spider, and the basilisk will only run for its life when it hears the crowing of the rooster, because the crowing of the rooster is also fatal to it."

"The Basilisk is probably the real monster in the Chamber of Secrets, so Harry could hear the voice of the Monster in the Chamber of Secrets on the day the Basilisk appeared, but Ron and I couldn't hear it because Harry was a Parselmouth. And in the Chamber of Secrets In a place where monsters are infested, the spiders escape in a hurry, which is also consistent." Hermione said.

"Yes, and Slytherin himself is also a Parselmouth, and the symbol of Slytherin House is also a snake. Since the Chamber of Secrets was left by Slytherin, then Basilisk is more likely to be the monster in the Chamber of Secrets." Maple also Agreed.

"Moreover, we can further confirm. Since the basilisk is most afraid of the crow of roosters, then the heir of Slytherin will definitely take action to get rid of all the roosters in the school in order to allow the basilisk to move more freely. As long as If you check whether the rooster in the school died mysteriously, you can confirm whether the monster in the secret room is a basilisk." Maple added.

"Whoever the basilisk looks at will die. But why didn't Mrs. Norris die, but was only petrified?" Harry thought of a question at this time and asked.

"Water," Hermione thought the fastest, and without Maple's prompts, she came up with the result: "Mrs. Norris is not dead, probably because it didn't have direct contact with the basilisk's eyes, it probably just saw it. Reflection in the water.”

"But Ron only saw the spider's eyes -" Harry hesitated again.

"That's because the person who released the basilisk is a dark wizard who is proficient in the art of curses. She seems to have a way to remotely transfer the basilisk's deadly eyes." Maple then told them in detail how she was injured at that time. Read it again.

"Curse, so to speak..." Hermione suddenly realized something.

"She should be the same person who sent you the curse!" Maple said.

"I smell prey, let me kill them, let me eat them!"

Harry's face suddenly turned pale and he shouted to Hermione and Maple: "No, it's coming."

When Harry warned Maple and Hermione, he also heard another voice that seemed a little angry: "Shut up!"

Maple immediately took out the Marauder's Map that he carried with him and said quickly, "I solemnly swear that I will not do good deeds."

"What is this?" Hermione looked at the map that Maple suddenly took out curiously.

"Ah!" Hermione quickly saw the school's various signs on the map through the map's markings, and then saw that there were Hermione Granger, Harry Potter, and Maple Aribas in the location of the library. Three little dots. Seeing such magical magic, Hermione couldn't help but open her mouth in surprise.

Maple quickly frowned because he didn't see any small dots around the library approaching their location on the map.

In this way, although Miss Pandora has not seen the Marauder's Map with her own eyes, she has roughly guessed the function of the map through the feedback of the bloody doll.They actually have the ability to erase their names from the Marauder's Map, which makes Maple feel bad.

However, the top priority is to find a way to deal with Basilisk as soon as possible.

By the way, Maple suddenly thought that in addition to the three of them, there was also the librarian Mrs. Pince in the library.

"Collapse!" Maple knocked Mrs. Pince unconscious unceremoniously, and then cast the Disillusionment Curse on her to disappear without a trace.

Wait, the basilisk can still catch up with it by following the smell. Is there any magic spell to eliminate the smell?

Maple looked down and immediately noticed her watch.

Maple quickly used her watch to contact Mary, and she was connected almost instantly.

"Mary, please help me contact Mr. Nicoléme, I have something urgent!" As if she was afraid that Mary would delay her time, Maple added: "I am in danger, a life and death crisis, and I must ask Mr. Nicoléme for help. "

"Okay, I'll go right away." When Mary heard Maple's urgent tone, she immediately realized the seriousness of the matter and hurriedly went to find Nicole Flamel.

"Mr. Nicoléme, do you know the magic spell that can eliminate the smell on your body?" After contacting Nicoléme, Maple said hurriedly, ignoring the pleasantries.

"The spell is eliminated!" Nicoléme immediately knew that Maple was in trouble. He quickly told Maple the spell and demonstrated it to Maple using three-dimensional projection of light and shadow.

"Okay, thank you, sir!" At the critical moment, Maple didn't care about waste anymore, so she directly used Li Xiaoyao's card and learned the Mark Eliminating Curse in one go.

"Eradicate all!" "Eliminate all!" "Eliminate all!" "Eliminate all!"

Maple directly used the Elimination Curse four times to eliminate all the smells of Mrs. Pince and the three of them, and then cast the Disappearance Curse three times on the three of them.Maple then cast another silencing spell so that their voices would not be heard.

Harry and Hermione were told to stay in a corner of the library, while Maple came to the library door to stand guard.

But why was Hermione willing to let Maple risk her life alone? She also followed her, and Harry also wanted to follow her when he saw this.

Isn’t this adding to the chaos?

"Everyone is petrified!" Maple cast a petrifying spell, but it only hit Harry.

Just when he was about to hit Hermione, he suddenly heard the sound of something mopping the floor. It seemed that the basilisk was coming soon.Maple had no choice but to stop any movement and give up her plan.

Having guessed the true face of the basilisk in advance, Maple and the other three just looked down at the ground, fearing that they might accidentally make eye contact with the basilisk.

The sound of the basilisk swimming on the ground became louder and louder, and soon, they saw the true face of the basilisk.

A huge venomous snake, with a green body and a bright light unique to venomous snakes. Its body was as thick as the trunk of an oak tree. Although they could only see part of the basilisk's body through their limited sight, they could still roughly guess it. The body length of a basilisk cannot be shorter than twenty feet.

Even with the Silence Spell, Maple and the others had to carefully control their breathing to avoid causing too much fluctuation in the air, which would be sensed by the basilisk.

Maple and Hermione tried hard to control their inner fears and were careful not to make any noise for fear of alarming the basilisk.

Suddenly, Maple's face became ugly again.

Damn it!Why did you ignore the snake's heat sensing method!

Thinking of this, Maple immediately clenched her wand and was on guard.

However, the basilisk did not find their location immediately as Maple had feared, and Maple was relieved.Generally, only those snakes that often hunt prey at night will have the ability to sense heat, such as rattlesnakes, vipers, desert vipers, bamboo leaf greens, etc. And strictly speaking, although Basilisk has the appearance of a snake, it also has snakes. The title of the strange snake king, but it itself is not a real snake.

The basilisk, which mainly relies on its big eyes and sense of smell to detect its prey, found its big head in the air and swung back and forth in confusion after it could no longer sense the smell of living people and couldn't see the shadow of any prey.But after finding nothing in the end, the basilisk knocked down several bookshelves angrily, and finally retreated from the library helplessly.

Maple and the others were lucky enough not to be hit by the bookshelf knocked down by the basilisk.Just when they thought the basilisk had left, the basilisk soon swam over again.And in front of it, there was a cursed doll floating in the air, and the doll quickly floated in front of Hermione and stopped.

Damn, that Pandora still has Hermione's hair on her!

At that moment, Maple didn't care about hiding and rushed out to cast magic on the basilisk.

"Transformation!" Maple did not use attack magic directly, but cast a transformation spell to make a rooster crow at the basilisk.

Hermione also came to help, and soon a lot of crowing roosters appeared in front of the basilisk.

What made Maple and the others a little disappointed was that these magical roosters and their crows could not cause fatal harm to the basilisk.But the fear of roosters still lingered in the basilisk's heart. Seeing a large number of roosters appearing in front of him, the basilisk immediately shrank back a large distance in fright.

But after the body's magic power was not damaged by the crowing of the rooster, the basilisk quickly realized that the roosters were fake.

However, in anger, the basilisk, which did not use much wisdom, did not launch a direct attack on Maple and the others, but first vented its anger on these false roosters.
