Chapter 337 Underground Space

After the interlude, several people passed through the Bone Tunnel and continued to move forward. After turning a corner, another huge space appeared in front of them.

"Look, there is something there..." Harry noticed something was wrong with his sharp eyes, "Oh my god, what is that!"

I saw the outline of a huge creature lying on the ground in front of me, motionless.

Several people stopped and stared at the monster warily. However, a long time passed and the other party made no move.

Hermione lowered her voice and asked, "Is it asleep?"

Feeling the tense atmosphere, Professor Binns also lowered his voice and said, "From my ghost's intuition, it doesn't seem to be a living creature."

The three little wizards couldn't help but their eyelids twitched. Wasn't it alive?

Was it eaten by a basilisk?

After thinking for a while, Robert threw out a magical light, and the fireworks curse exploded in mid-air, illuminating the front.

It was a huge piece of snakeskin, at least twenty feet long.

The whole snake skin showed a bright green color, reflecting light under the firelight. The entire snake skin was coiled and lying on the ground in the tunnel. If you look closely, you can see that the snake skin is empty inside, and there is a hole inside the snake skin. Layers of slime.

Apparently, the giant creature had just shed this layer of skin.

"Wow." Harry exclaimed, "This guy is really big."

He looked at it curiously, and judging from his modest biological knowledge, he found that it was a venomous snake.

"It's indeed a big guy." Robert frowned, "Let's keep walking, be careful, it shouldn't be far from here."

"Wait a minute." Hermione called him, "I think I saw Colin?"

Robert and Harry were stunned for a moment and looked around the snake skin in confusion, "Where is it?"

Hermione greeted the two of them and struggled to find a passage through the rubble. The little wizards quickly appeared at the snake's head. Here, a figure as stiff as stone was looking with wide eyes and disbelief. Touching the ceiling.

On his chest is his second camera this semester, a gift from the principal.

"What's going on with him?" Hermione took out her wand and poked Colin's arm. "Could it be that he saw a big snake lying motionless on the ground? He was overjoyed for a moment and ran over to take a picture. As a result, the basilisk happened to escape from the snake. Crawling out of the skin?"

Robert's eyes twitched, and his tone was full of helplessness, "Ah, although it is unlikely, but judging from the scene, it is indeed the case."

As he said that, he also poked the naughty kid with his magic wand. Really, he came to look for the basilisk all by himself. He was looking for death.

But how did he know he could find a basilisk here?

Judging from the tracing magic, he did come down from the women's restroom. However, the journey was not short and a bit eerie. I can only say that this child is really big-hearted. Isn't he not afraid of running so far?

Harry looked at Colin, obviously relieved, "Great, Colin is fine."

Hermione nodded, then acted like a dean of students, "Although he is fine, this is too messy. I must tell Professor McGonagall and ask her to tell his parents all this. This time He was lucky and was not hurt by the basilisk. What about next time? Do you know what he told me before? "

"She didn't kill me the first time, so there's no way she could kill me the second time!" Hermione imitated Colin's voice and shouted, "Oh my god, this is the first time I've seen such a stupid person! He actually took his own Thinking good luck is someone else’s forgiveness?”

Harry smiled awkwardly, "Well...I think he's right..."

Hermione's eyes widened and she looked at Harry in disbelief, "What are you talking about! Why do you think this way, Harry?"

Harry scratched his head and said awkwardly, "Because, because the other party already knew that Colin recognized her identity, but still did not take action, her original intention was not to kill, right?"

Hermione frowned and did not say anything to refute, but still insisted on her point of view, "Although what you said may have some truth, I still think that Colin is just lucky!"

Harry scratched his head and didn't know how to retort. He could only say hesitantly, "He, he can't be lucky twice, can he?"

"Well, if you want to say that..." Hermione looked at Colin and said with some confusion, "That's true, Colin can't be so lucky, can he?"

This is so heartbreaking, old man, how can you two always suspect that Colin is an unlucky guy?

Shaking his head, Robert asked the two of them, wanting to hear their opinions, "What to do next? Should we go find the basilisk, or take Colin back?"

"Of course, to bring Colin back." Hermione said matter-of-factly, "This was our original purpose, wasn't it?"

Harry hesitated for a moment, looked at the darkness in the distance, and said, "I want to go ahead and take a look. Maybe I can find the basilisk. I am a Parselmouth. I should be able to communicate with it and stop it from coming back." Attacking humans.”

"That's very dangerous." Hermione said with a straight face, but then she raised her eyebrows, "But I also want to take a look, what should I do?"

As she said that, she looked at Robert and said jokingly, "What do you think? There is a basilisk in front of you that will stare at anyone to death!"

"You actually think I'm afraid of the basilisk?" Robert pointed at himself and looked at Hermione in astonishment, "Have you forgotten? I have a phoenix! The phoenix is ​​the natural enemy of the basilisk."

Hermione was stunned for a moment, then she seemed to have thought of something funny and snickered, "Okay, opal, well, it's a phoenix, haha..."

"Well, in this case, everyone's goals are unified again, but there is also a problem before us." Robert pointed to the naughty kid at his feet, "What should we do with this guy?"

The three of them looked at each other. It was obvious that they were far more interested in adventure than staying to look after Colin.

"Ah, why not leave it to me. Since none of you are willing to stay and look after Mr. Creevey." Professor Binns said, "But I personally suggest that Miss Granger stay too."

Hermione puffed her cheeks, a little unhappy.

Finally, the three of them packed up and left, leaving Colin to Professor Binns.

After walking through the dark tunnel and turning a corner, they saw a round stone door with seven intertwined snakes carved on it, and their eyes were set with shining emeralds.

A closer look revealed that the snake's body was stuck around the circular stone door, completely sealing the door within the wall.

"It's a snake again..." Hermione complained a little, "Does Slytherin like snakes so much?"

Harry looked at the door, then at the two of them, and whispered, "I suspect this still requires Parseltongue to open..."

The two nodded in agreement and took a step back, signaling Harry to be free.

Closing his eyes, Harry cleared his throat, and a low, hoarse hiss sounded in the underground space.

"Open."
