Chapter 97 Escape from Death

Mike ducked and missed the basilisk's bloody mouth.

Although he did not open his eyes and the basilisk was still not detected in the magic perception field of view, Mike was still able to confirm the position of the basilisk's head through the fishy smell in the basilisk's big mouth.

It has been previously confirmed that the scales on the basilisk should be highly resistant to magic, and the fire spell is basically ineffective against it, so this time Mike decided to give it a little more force.

"Avada Kedavra!"

A green light with an ominous aura flashed past and hit the basilisk's open mouth directly.

"hiss!"

Although the soul damage attached to the Death Curse did not cause instant death to the Basilisk, it still caused some damage to the Basilisk.

Listening to the basilisk's shrill cry, Mike understood that the blow he just gave had worked.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mike stepped forward. With the blessing of the Wind Speed ​​Curse, Mike was now extremely fast. In just a few seconds, he ran out more than ten meters, and once again distanced himself from the basilisk.

However, Mike knew that with the basilisk's movement speed, he could catch up with him very quickly, so he connected the wand and released several fragments on the top of his head.

Although falling apart is not a magic spell that Mike specializes in, it is still very powerful after the increase of magic power in Mike's body. The ceiling made of bluestone immediately shattered after being hit in four pieces, and countless rubbles immediately blocked the corridor behind Mike.

However, such an obstacle is nothing to the basilisk. The basilisk, which had recovered from the severe pain, shrank back, made a common charging movement for snakes to hunt, and then swooped down and hit it. The pile of rubble blocking the road was opened.

Although Mike had his eyes closed at this time, his powerful magic perception provided him with a clear vision. In a blink of an eye, he had turned several corners and arrived at the passage where the infirmary was located.

The basilisk behind him vomited after breaking through the barrier. Only then did he realize that Mike had fled not far from the infirmary, and he knew that tonight's night attack had failed.

But it didn't give up, opened its eyes, and stared at the escaping Mike through the wall.

At the same time, a pair of lantern-sized light balls appeared in Mike's magic vision, emitting astonishing magic light. Mike was overjoyed when he noticed this. The most difficult thing about dealing with the Basilisk is that he cannot accurately know its location when facing it.

Now the basilisk didn't know why it was convulsed, but it took the initiative to open its eyes and reveal its position.

A basilisk that has lost such an advantage can only be regarded as a big python with rough skin and thick flesh. Mike thinks that he can kill it even if he grinds it hard.

But as soon as Mike turned his attention to the two light balls, there was a stinging pain in his brain. The basilisk's eyes could actually hurt people who looked at it with magic perception.

Mike, who was moving at high speed, was so stung by the sudden sting that he lost his balance, stumbled, rolled and fell out.

At this time, the two senior students who were guarding the infirmary also heard the noise outside and rushed over. These two senior students had extremely high fighting skills. Seeing Mike's embarrassed look, they had no intention of helping him. , instead he took out his wand and looked warily in the direction from which Mike came.

Mike climbed up with difficulty and shook his head to keep his consciousness as clear as possible.

The basilisk's attack just now did not cause much damage to him. The fierce sting disappeared very quickly. Mike was fine except that his consciousness was a little trance.

He opened his magic sense again to look for the basilisk, but to Mike's disappointment, the treacherous basilisk had already disappeared.

"Mike, are you okay?" Professor Flitwick trotted towards Mike with his short legs. "I'm not too late. I rushed over as soon as I received the warning signal."

"I know what the monster in the secret room is, it's a basilisk!" Mike answered the question.

Professor Flitwick was shocked when he heard what Mike said. As the dean of Ravenclaw Academy, which is known for its intelligence and erudition, he certainly knew what a basilisk was and what a basilisk running rampant in the school would be. What are the consequences? If it lets go of its temper and kills, Hogwarts will become a Shura field with its eyes that can cause death at the touch.

"Are you sure!?" Professor Flitwick said sharply, "Let's not talk about this for now. You go to the infirmary first and I'll go and see what's going on."

Mike was not seriously injured, so he did not accept Professor Flitwick's kindness and followed Flitwick directly. At the same time, he also told Flitwick the information that the basilisk cannot be detected by magic perception.

Mike and Flitwick took the two senior students around the scene of the previous battle several times, but found nothing except a small section of broken snake teeth. Mike knew that this section of the snake's fang should have been broken by himself using the death curse, and he breathed a small sigh of relief. It seems that the damage caused by the Death Curse to the basilisk is not low, so it is easy to deal with. As long as its damn eyes are taken care of, the basilisk will not be afraid.

The most fearful thing is that even the Death Curse cannot break the basilisk's defense.

Professor Flitwick quickly determined that the small fang was indeed the fang of the basilisk, which also confirmed what Mike said was true.

Then the whole Hogwarts was boiling.

Dumbledore and other professors acted quickly and gathered all the students from their beds into the hall. In order not to cause panic, Dumbledore did not announce the truth about the basilisk. These students also had experience with this situation after last year's gathering. Not only were they not afraid, but they also speculated about the sudden The reason for gathering them.

After the students were evacuated, Dumbledore led many professors to start a carpet search of Hogwarts Castle. Most of these professors graduated from Hogwarts, so they were also familiar with the various secret passages in Hogwarts. They are all knowledgeable, and they are very confident in finding the basilisk. After all, the basilisk is so big that there are not many places in Hogwarts Castle where it can hide.

However, the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. After a whole night of searching, the professors came back with nothing.

Mike was not in the hall that night.

After exploring the scene with Professor Flitwick, Flitwick forced him into the infirmary. The reason was that he was afraid that he had some hidden injuries and needed to be examined carefully.

Although Mike kept saying that he was fine, he even performed his "automatic tracking, levitation and explosive fireball technique" in front of Flitwick. But in the end he couldn't defeat Flitwick and lay down in the ward of the infirmary.

Facts have proved that the first law of true fragrance discovered by Mr. Wang Jingze is indeed one of human instincts.

Mike, who kept saying he didn't want it, fell asleep like a dead pig within a few minutes of lying on the bed. Madam Pomfrey was also going to do a small check-up for Mike, but she had no choice but to give up when she saw that Mike was sleeping soundly. . As a doctor, she could of course see that there was nothing serious about Mike's health, but he had been too tired recently and would be fine if he took a nap.

Looking at Mike who was snoring, Madam Pomfrey smiled and shook her head, carefully exited Mike's ward, and closed the door.
