Chapter 205 Tom Riddle's Confusion

After Fish caught up with Ginny, he twitched his nose and sniffed around, and suddenly realized something.

"I know, meow! This is where you came last sleepwalking, right?"

∑(●ΦДΦ●)

"...That's right."

Voldemort was silent for a moment, pinched his nose and admitted.

Before the basilisk killed Feishi, he had to appease the escaping little wizard. If he slipped up and Feish slipped away, things would be in trouble.

Although according to what Fish just said, when he met his other self last semester, he didn't seem to take the initiative to talk about what happened to him, but the cautious classmate Tom Riddle would not bet on this. possibility.

Or just let the basilisk kill this annoying little wizard, and then go find the Harry Potter who survived to find out how he failed in the first place.

"Oh! What a big snake!"

(●ω●)

Not long after walking along the dark stone tunnel, he saw the basilisk peeling off its skin. Instead of being afraid, Feishu ran forward happily.

He recognized at a glance that the huge snake in front of him was just a shed skin, so it was impossible for him to be afraid, and even if a real basilisk appeared in front of Fei Xu, he would not be afraid...

Kanaloako in the Black Lake is much bigger than this snake. Although Lu Wei is not as long as it, but from an overall evaluation, it is definitely not much smaller than this snake.

Fish ran to the huge snake slough of the basilisk, reached out and broke off a small piece from it, put it in front of his eyes, looked at it, put it under his nose and smelled it, and then...

Stuffed it into his mouth.

Although I don’t know how long this snake slough has been here, it is at least the snake slough of a basilisk and will not spoil easily, so Feishu will not feel upset if he tastes it...

Of course, Fei Xu himself definitely didn't think so much about it. He simply thought this thing was edible, and then he ate it.

but……

"It doesn't taste like meow...it doesn't taste good."

(●Φ︿Φ●)

Fei Xu smacked his lips and commented with some disappointment.

After all, it is a snake slough that has not been processed in any way, so it is normal for it to have no smell.

"...I don't mean this when I say interesting things..."

Voldemort was no longer in the mood to be angry after Fish repeatedly acted out of line. He reluctantly called Fish back, who was still wandering around the snake, and took him deeper into the tunnel. Go.

The two of them went around one corner after another until Fish became a little impatient, and they came to a huge stone wall.

Two intertwined snakes are carved on the stone wall. In the position of their eyes, two huge emeralds are inlaid, shining brightly in the dim surrounding environment.

"Hiss..."

Ginny's mouth once again made the same hissing sound as before. The kitten, which has sensitive hearing and is very sensitive to the ups and downs of the tone, shook its ears in confirmation.

With a heavy friction sound, the stone wall cracked from the middle and slowly slid to both sides.

Entering the room, Fish was surprised to find that although there was no lighting facility in the room, there was a mysterious mist floating around the room, emitting a green shimmer.

There are also rows of towering stone pillars standing in the room, with coiled snakes carved on them.

Passing through the stone pillars, the two of them walked to the deepest part of the room, where there was a human-shaped stone statue as tall as the room, tightly attached to the wall.

The stone statue was carved of an old man who was very thin and dry. The beard on his chin fell to the ground and was as long as Dumbledore.

It's just that the density is pitiful, and it's sparse, just like the feathers on Fox's body.

"Where are the fun things, meow?"

(°ω°≡°ω°)

Fish looked around, but he didn't find anything else besides these pillars and statues.

"Don't worry, I'll call it out right now..."

Ginny raised her head and hissed again at the Slytherin statue, but this time the hissing lasted a little longer than before.

Then Fish saw the statue of the old man moving. It opened its mouth, and opened it wider and wider, obviously exceeding the normal opening and closing size of a human mouth, and there was a familiar whisper in the statue. A rustling sound.

"Meow! It's the guy who provoked Fei Xu!"

(●ω●)

Feishu shook his ears and recognized the owner of the rustling voice. He immediately stared at the huge black hole on the statue with bright eyes.

After a while, a huge, flat snake head poked out from the statue's open mouth, and its huge yellow eyes met Fish's gaze.

"It was you last time, right? Come and fight Feish! Don't run away this time, meow!"

(●ΦωΦ●)

Fish looked directly at the basilisk and shouted provocatively.

It's not like he has never fought against large creatures before, so he won't shrink back just because this snake is bigger.

Of course you have to fight to know who is more powerful!

"Bang!"

The basilisk completely emerged from the statue's mouth, hit the ground heavily, then raised its body high and stuck out its forked tongue at Fish.

"Hiss! Hiss!" (You little guy who overestimates your own abilities! I'm going to tear you apart!)

The basilisk, which was never a good-tempered creature, showed its fangs as sharp as long knives to Fish.

In the eyes of the basilisk, Fish, who was not even enough to fill its teeth, dared to provoke it. He was simply seeking his own death.

Compared with the Acromantula, the basilisk, as their natural enemy, was definitely more brutal, and naturally would not be affected by Fish's animal affinity, so it would not have any idea of ​​showing mercy.

Although it said so, the basilisk did not attack easily. After all, Fish could look directly into its eyes without any problem, which was not something that anyone could do easily.

"Meow! Come on! Fish is not afraid of you, meow!"

(●`Д●)

Fish retorted unyieldingly, the hair on his tail exploded, and a pair of cat ears were pressed into the shape of wings.

Just as the cat and the snake confronted each other, Voldemort fell into deep confusion.

Why didn't Fish die?

Even though Voldemort was the heir of Slytherin, even though he could control the basilisk with Parseltongue, he still didn't dare to look directly into the eyes of the basilisk when he released it...

Although he later discovered that the Slytherin blood in his body could ensure that he would not be affected by the basilisk's gaze, at the beginning, he kept his head down to communicate with the basilisk.

Of course, Voldemort also speculated that in addition to the blood of Slytherin, powerful wizards might be able to use their own magic to resist the gaze of the basilisk, but he was still a student at the time and he definitely didn't dare to try it.

In Voldemort's mind, only a few people like Dumbledore could resist the gaze of the basilisk, and among them, a second-year wizard like Fish was definitely not included.

So... what went wrong? Could this little wizard also be a descendant of Slytherin?

Voldemort wanted to look up to see what was going on, but at present, he was just a remnant soul and didn't dare to let the host get into trouble.

In his current situation, if Ginny died, the little power that Voldemort had gathered with great difficulty would immediately dissipate, and it would take a long time for the next unlucky person to find the diary hidden by Ginny.

Moreover, if Ginny suddenly disappeared, Dumbledore would most likely check the things she left behind. If the diary was discovered by him, his Horcrux would definitely not be saved.

So he could only control Ginny to lower her head and retreat to the corner, waiting for the basilisk to kill Fish...

Even if the basilisk's gaze lost its effect, Voldemort did not think that Fish had the possibility of escaping.

Giving a quick glance at Fish with the corner of her eyes, Ginny showed a cruel sneer on her face.

Then Voldemort saw Fish lean forward and turned into a one-meter-long... leopard?

Wait! Isn't his Animagus a cat? !

The second generation of the Dark Lord was confused again.

According to the description in the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", the basilisk can grow up to 50 feet, which is more than 14 meters but less than 15 meters. According to the proportion of the more famous cobra among venomous snakes, a 15-meter-long snake has a diameter of about 30 centimeters. Maybe the basilisk will be a little thicker, but it won't be too outrageous.

And Fluffy's description is that his body fills all the space from the ceiling to the ground, and the ceilings of classical castles like Hogwarts are generally relatively high. Take Windsor Castle in the UK as an example. The height of the rooms inside is basically more than four meters. Places like the Great Hall and the corridor will only be higher, so Fluffy's height is at least five meters, and it is possible that it is more than seven meters.

A five-meter-tall dog and a fifteen-meter-long snake, in terms of size, are not actually that different. If you compare the heads alone, Fluffy's head is obviously bigger, and there are more... Of course, the combat power is another matter.
