Chapter 141 Petrification

Chapter 141 Petrification

Just when Harry was starting to worry about what would happen when he hit the ground, the pipe extended horizontally, and Harry slammed the end of the pipe out onto the wet floor of the stony tunnel.The underground passage was large enough for people to walk on their feet. It was pitch black, and Lockhart stood up not far away.He was covered in wet mud, and his face was as pale as a ghost.

"Clean and new!" Su Ziqiong raised his wand and cast a spell on Harry, and the dust and dirt on Harry's body disappeared in an instant.

"Thank you," said Harry.

Su Ziqiong smiled and didn't say anything. After a while, Ron also came out of the pipe like a hurricane.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's analyze where we are." Su Ziqiong gathered everyone together and said seriously.

"We must be miles away from the school, look at the tunnel just now!" Harry's voice echoed in the dark underground tunnel.

"Probably at the bottom of the lake." Ron looked around at the dark, sticky walls.

Draco didn't speak, he stared at the darkness in front of him, "Luminescent flashes!" Draco cast a spell on his wand.

"Let's go, follow the road, and you will eventually find your target." Draco stepped forward.

They started to set off, walking on the wet ground, and the sound of their footsteps was extremely loud.

"Remember." Su Ziqiong whispered as they moved forward cautiously: "If you hear any sound that is not right, immediately close your eyes and look for cover."

But the underground passage was as quiet as a solitary grave, and the first unexpected sound they heard was the cracking sound of Ron stepping on the rat's skull.

Draco lowered his wand and looked at the floor, only to see the corpses of small animals scattered on the floor.Ron forced himself not to imagine Ginny's situation.

Suddenly, Draco, who was walking in the front, stopped, and said in a hoarse voice, "There's a big guy in front."

Harry and Ron were petrified, and the group watched carefully.All Harry could see was the huge, curved outline of the Thing, lying around the corner of the tunnel, but it didn't move.

"Maybe it fell asleep." Harry took a breath and turned to look at the others. Lockhart covered his eyes with his hands, Ron was trembling, and Su Ziqiong looked the same as usual.

Draco raised the wand in his hand, and the light flashed across the thing in front of him - a huge python skin!Green and creepy, with a distorted appearance, lying empty on the floor of the underground passage.

"It's just a piece of python skin, but the snake skin shed from it is at least twenty feet long." Draco said solemnly: "We are in big trouble, this thing has been at least since Hogwarts was established. It's been here forever."

"Ah!" Ron sighed weakly.

This was a sudden movement behind them, and Lockhart's knees were already weak when he heard Draco's words.

"Get up," said Ron sharply, pointing his wand at him.

There was a gleam in Lockhart's eyes, and by the time Harry realized something was wrong he had thrown Ron down.

Several people rushed forward, but it was too late. Lockhart stood upright and dressed roughly, holding Ron's wand in his hand; his characteristic smile was on his face again, showing his shiny teeth.

"That's the end of the adventure, boys!" he said, "I'll take this skin back to school and tell them it's too late to save the girl and you're going crazy when you see her unrecognizable body Say goodbye to your memories." He raised his wand to the top of his head and shouted, "Forget nothing!"

"Bang," the wand exploded above his head.Harry, Draco covered his head with his hands and ran forward, while Su Ziqiong had already hidden when Lockhart made an attack.

"Ron," Harry growled loudly, "are you all right?"

"I'm here!" Ron's deep voice came from behind the boulder.

"I'm fine, but this stupid guy is unlucky - he was hit by the wand!"

This was an episode, and everyone didn't stop there.

Went around the python skin and started to move forward, and soon the underground tunnel turned another corner.

Finally, when they climbed another bend, a solid wall stood in front of everyone.Two intertwined snakes are carved on the wall, and the eyes of the snakes look lifelike.

Harry walked forward, feeling his throat go dry.He had already guessed what to do next, but Su Ziqiong took the lead in taking action.

He also repeated Harry's previous Parseltongue in a hissing voice.

The wall split from the middle, and the two snakes also separated and disappeared without a trace.

"Can you also speak Parseltongue?" Draco asked in surprise, and Harry and Ron were also a little surprised.

"It seems that I have a good learning talent. I remembered Harry's pronunciation and frequency when he spoke Parseltongue just now." Su Ziqiong pointed to his head and said, "The power of wisdom."

He laughed and took the lead into the secret room, Draco curled his lips and followed.

They were standing at the end of a stone room at the moment. The stone room was quite large, but the light was a bit dim.More stone-carved pythons entwine on towering stone pillars, rising and disappearing into the dark ceiling!

Everyone stood there, listening to the chilling silence.Harry's heart was beating wildly. Was the basilisk lurking in a dark corner behind a certain stone pillar?Where is Ginny?

Harry and Ron also drew out their wands, and slowly spread out among the stone pillars surrounded by giant snakes.

They took a cautious step, and they all echoed hollowly and loudly among the ghostly walls.He kept squinting his eyes, ready to close them tightly at the slightest sign of trouble.He always felt that the empty eye sockets of the two stone snakes were always following him.More than once, he seemed to see something moving, and his stomach convulsed from nervousness.

When walking parallel to the last pair of stone pillars, a statue as tall as the room itself loomed in front of him, clinging to the dark wall behind.

Harry had to tilt his neck high to see the gigantic face above: an old, monkey-like face, with a long, sparse beard that trailed almost to the hem of his wizard's robes carved in stone. Above, two big gray feet stood on the smooth floor of the room.Between those feet lay face down a small figure in a black robe, with hair as red as a flame.

"Ginny!" Harry called out in a low voice, and rushed to her side. Everyone heard Harry's voice and gathered. Ron rushed over quickly, seeing Ginny who was unconscious on the ground, he couldn't help but kneel down. "Ginny! You don't die! Please, don't die!" He threw his wand aside, grabbed Ginny by the shoulders, and turned her over.Her face was as cold and bloodless as marble, but her eyes were closed, so she was not petrified.Then, she must be...

"Ginny, please wake up." Ron begged in a low voice, shaking her in despair.Ginny's head drooped lifelessly.

"She won't wake up," said a voice softly.
