The surrounding walls looked dark and sticky, and there was a splashing sound when walking on the wet floor.Walking alone in this tomb-like tunnel, Harry felt the cold wind blowing from the back of his spine.

Here and there on the ground were the bones of some small animals.Harry tried desperately not to imagine what Ginny would be like when they found him.He tried to walk forward without thinking about anything, turned a dark bend in the tunnel, and seemed to be able to hear the voices of his friends behind him.

...............

Harry turned his head, and Daniel was busy helping several other people who followed the two of them down the steep tunnel to safety, preventing them from facing the basilisk in full state... the one who didn't open his eyes kind.

He secretly cheered himself up, and glanced at the busy Daniel next to him, feeling a little more relaxed.

After all, when dealing with Professor Quirrell, Daniel was very reliable. Didn't the other people feel like they were traveling?

"Huh! We must be several miles below the school!" Ron landed on his feet, patted the moss on his body, and couldn't wait to urge a few people: "Let's go, let's go."

Everyone could understand Ron's mood, even Draco, who was wiping the mud on his face with a handkerchief, straightened up silently, ready to go straight away.

"It's probably at the bottom of the Forbidden Lake," said Hermione.

Harry nodded silently in his heart, and secretly encouraged himself: With so many friends around, are you still afraid of a little snake?

He stared at the dark tunnel ahead, and whispered: "Remember, as soon as there is any movement, close your eyes quickly..."

So he was the first to go.

Daniel sent out a slightly brighter ball of light floating around them, but the dark part of the tunnel seemed to have absorbed all the light, making it even more terrifying.

Just after turning a small corner that could be called safe, Ron grabbed Harry by the shoulder, his voice hoarse and his expression tense.

"Harry, there's something over there..."

So several people stopped immediately, not daring to move, and stared at there in a panic. The outline of a huge coiled object was lying on the other side of the tunnel, motionless.

"It... fell asleep?" Harry tugged at the collar of his robe nervously, panting.

Several people paused again, and it was Daniel who directed his little ball of light to walk around there, so that they could see the whole picture clearly.

The soft white light shines on a pair of huge snake skin, which is green and very bright. It looks like the skin of a poisonous snake, coiled and lying on the ground of the tunnel, and the inside is empty.Apparently the animal that had just shed its skin was at least twenty feet long.

"My God." Ron sighed weakly.

Although I already knew the approximate size of the basilisk from the library, when I actually faced the snake's slough, it was really scary.Hermione was pale in the back, almost completely speechless, while Draco seemed to accept it.

Daniel quickly moved over, and boldly reached out to stroke the snake's skin. After returning, his complexion was obviously much lighter.

"This snake doesn't shed its skin for a long time...we're lucky." He said, and thought for a while: "The quality is also very good. After this basilisk is killed, we can ask Professor Snape to transform it into potion ingredients."

Draco was speechless, but Harry cared more about the first half of his sentence: "Why did it shed its skin and say we were lucky?"

"When the snake grows to a certain extent, it will shed the keratinized skin and re-grow the skin. At the same time, the scales will be incomplete after a certain period of wear and tear, and they need to be replaced with new intact scales." Dani Er explained, rubbing his fingertips secretly: "All creatures will have a period of weakness after moulting. Most snakes are in a semi-rigid state in the early stage of molt, and there is no predation behavior. After molt, the body loses a lot of water. , if the snake is given adequate nutrition in sunny weather, the snake will recover quickly."

"It's just that you look at this cramped, dark and humid place. It should not be conducive to the recovery of this basilisk's body."

Draco also walked over, and only then did he answer: "And it didn't eat." All the student prey it targeted were all petrified, and it probably didn't even eat a bite of chicken, right?

"That being said..." Hermione expressed worry, and approached several people: "But the basilisk is a basilisk after all, and its fangs and its dead eyes are still very dangerous."

Gritting his teeth, Ron tried to stay away from the snake skin, and hit the wall twice with his wand helplessly: "...Go on..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt the wand in his hand start to heat up. Before he could react, boom!The wand suddenly exploded, as if a grenade had been thrown into the room. The deafening sound was accompanied by violent smoke and dust, and there was a flash of light that almost blinded people.

Covering his head with his arms, Harry ran, tripping over the coiled snakeskin, and dodging large pieces of rubble falling from the tunnel ceiling to the ground.Then, standing up, he faced a thick wall of rubble alone.

"Are you all right?" Harry didn't have time to think, and shouted at the thick gravel in front of him, "Are you all all right?"

"Ow!" Ron yelled from under the stone, his voice sounding muffled, and then he immediately explained: "I'm fine! I'm fine! I'm... uh, protected by a bubble? "

"Where's Daniel, Hermione, and...Malfoy?" Harry asked quickly.

"Still alive."

"I'm fine! Don't worry!"

Voices came from different directions under the gravel, it was Draco and Hermione, and then Daniel spoke.

"I'm fine too. They should be fine too. I used shield magic just now, which is enough to protect them." That is a light shield that can withstand the claws of a black dragon. If it is smashed by a few stones, he will This holy son should also be laid off.

"What now?" said Ron, his voice desperate. "We're stuck. It's going to take a long time to..."

"Don't worry about us..." Daniel's voice came from under the stone very close to Harry: "I'm still loose here, move the stone..."

Harry looked up at the ceiling of the tunnel, where several large gaps had appeared.He had never tried magic to separate something as big as these rocks, and it seemed inappropriate to try now—in case the whole tunnel collapsed. There was another thud and an "ouch" from the rock.They are wasting time.Ginny had been in the Chamber of Secrets for hours.Harry knew there was only one way out right now.

"Harry, wait for me, I'll be out right away, don't go there by yourself..." Daniel's voice sounded very hard, maybe he was trying to move a big rock.

"Wait here," said Harry loudly, without hearing a word, "you wait together. I'll keep going. If I'm not back in an hour..."

His voice gradually faded away, disappearing into the tunnel.

In the embarrassing loneliness, only the voices of a few children were heard.

"...so Harry is leaving now? The rock is too heavy!"

"...should... ouch! Don't kick my head!"

"Sorry - I thought it was an empty jar."

The author has something to say:

Draco: I thought it was an empty jar

Ron: Don't think I can't tell it's mocking my emptiness.

Hermione: Whether you are free or not, can you help me remove the stone first?

Daniel: Ahhhhh Harry don't go away it's too dangerous wait for me ahhhhhh
