Hogwarts Card System.

Chapter 179 Ice and Snow
Senior Tom is a genius after all. At such a young age, he has explored the existence of cutting-edge black magic. Although he cannot see, he still uses perception magic silently. Although he did not find the enemy, he also discovered the dancing basilisk.

I was immediately furious!

What on earth is going on? This is completely different from what I thought.

not like this!
Why can this weird flute sound affect the basilisk besides Parseltongue? !
Senior Tom explored the source of the sound as soon as possible, but the opponent was very cunning and was not where the sound came from, or the source of the sound was covered up.

Fortunately, the basilisk had been awakened by Tom's Parseltongue. It was curled up anxiously, not understanding what had happened to it.

"You think that's all, right? Hiding in the dark?! Swarms of bats!" Senior Tom no longer worried about consuming magic power that would delay his resurrection, and directly used an attack spell.

Through the goggles, Ted saw a ball of magic power flying out from the tip of Tom's wand, which turned into countless palm-sized bats and began to fly around at an extremely fast speed.

The response is so fast!

I didn't expect that even the young version of Voldemort had such a quick reaction and such a deep reserve of spells. He actually thought of summoning a large number of bats to explore the space and force the enemy's position in a short period of time.

"A swarm of bees!"

"Birds flock!"

Hermione used her signature summoning spell.

Summoning spells are considered a subfield of Transfiguration, such as the Summoning Spell, which summons something from a distance, or spells that use magic to transform into various objects.

Hermione worked hard for a semester and made great progress in Transfiguration.

Now in Professor McGonagall's eyes, she is her most favored disciple.

Countless hornets swarmed out with a buzzing sound, and large flocks of birds flew around on the roof, disrupting the view and hearing.

At the same time, Ron and Jerry raised their wands together: "Ten thousand bullets!"

Dozens or even hundreds of small stones flew out and shot towards the flock of bats that were swooping over.

For a moment, the whole scene turned into a hail of bullets, bats, birds, hornets, and missiles, all in chaos.

All kinds of creatures fell down with a crackling sound, but these things created by magic could not last too long and disappeared after only twenty or thirty seconds.

"Hahaha! I should have guessed it. You guys always stick together. Are you all here? Where's Ted?"

Because he had been in the hands of Ron and Neville twice, Senior Tom knew the Gang of Six very well, especially Ted, who was deeply envied by Ron and respected by Neville. Senior Tom actually looked down on him.

Knowing now that he had been tricked by these six little wizards, Senior Tom laughed instead of being so angry.

"It's just right to catch you all in one fell swoop!" He grinned slightly and smiled cruelly.

"Go! Kill them!" (Parseltongue)
Under the command of Parseltongue, although the basilisk could not find the location of Ted and the others, it still swam quickly, with its head held high, tongue spitting out, and its huge tail began to sweep across randomly!

The snake's tail, as thick as a water tank, flew up like the roller of a steamroller, and with a loud "boom", it smashed a stone snake statue beside the corridor. The gravel shot out in all directions like a cannonball.

In the darkness, the basilisk could not sense the enemy, so it began to wantonly destroy large areas of land!

Jerry and Hermione quickly hid behind the huge supporting pillars around them. They heard the sound of gravel hitting the ground and the stone pillars behind them, and their hearts were pounding with fear.

Even if this basilisk did not have the terrifying ability to kill anyone it glared at, its brute force alone was enough to give people a headache.

If a fire dragon fell to the ground, it would probably not be a match for this snake monster.

But Ted had already thought of a solution.

In telepathic communication, Ted said: Let's start!

Ted silently released a modified version of the Silencing Spell - the Soundproofing Boundary. Within the magic range, the friends began to cast the Freezing Spell together.

And under Ted's feet, a pale chill began to spread - a new way of playing Frost Nova.

Ted began to pour out large amounts of ice cubes from a small box the size of a textbook behind him.

The box was cast with a traceless extension spell. It was huge and worth 32 gold galleons.

The ice was free, and was taken from the house-elf's ice storage in the school kitchen.

Ted had stuffed seven or eight freezers with ice cubes, and now they were pouring out silently...

It only took thirty or forty seconds for the already cold underground space to begin to cool down.

Because the dark area created by Ansu was still there, he couldn't see anything clearly. Senior Tom had no sense of touch and didn't feel cold, so he didn't notice it.

The basilisk was waving its tail wantonly, smashing and sweeping everything around. Nothing was spared except the Slytherin statue behind it.

But after more than a minute, it obviously felt something was wrong - hiss~ a little cold?
This feeling is a bit strange to the basilisk.

Although Hogwarts is located in the Scottish Highlands, it is very cold in winter.

But since it was created by Slytherin, it has rarely been exposed to winter. It hibernates in winter.

Especially after Slytherin conducted experiments on it and slowed down its metabolism, it ate less, slept more, and basically did not move in the winter.

It was last winter that Senior Tom controlled Ron to open the Chamber of Secrets and ordered the basilisk to come out several times, but that was also to let off steam in the castle.

This kind of coldness now is not familiar to me.

This abnormality made the basilisk cautious. It stopped destroying things indiscriminately and instead coiled up and watched what happened.

However, the longer I waited, the colder it got. Why did my body feel a little numb? And a little sleepy!
Although the magic resistance of the basilisk is very high, so high that even if the professors come, they will not know what to do for a while. But it is still a snake after all, and a cold-blooded animal.

As Ted created a cold storage in the secret room, the temperature dropped rapidly, and the friends' exposed skin was covered with goose bumps.

Hermione cast a heat preservation spell on the other friends in the silencing ward to keep their body temperature up, but it could only stop them from shivering. It was obvious that the temperature was already very low.

At this time, even fine water droplets began to condense on the basilisk's scales!
No matter how high the magic resistance is, it is still inevitable to be affected physiologically.

It felt very bad and started to neigh.

Neville gave the translation immediately: He said he was cold, very cold, and wanted to go back to sleep!

Senior Tom finally realized something was wrong: Merlin, damn it, these little brats are playing dirty tricks on me!

"Don't just stand there! Move! There's not much space here, crush every inch of land!" Senior Tom urged the basilisk to move in Parseltongue.

Parseltongue has extremely strong control over snakes. The basilisk is extremely reluctant in the low temperature, but it still has to be obedient. It stretches its body and swims on the icy stone ground. Its body temperature drops rapidly and its movements become much slower.

But this trick is useful.

Although the underground space was about half the size of a football field, the basilisk stretched out for more than 20 meters and if it really rolled over like that, Ted and his friends would have no place to hide.

At this moment, Ansu, who had not moved since spreading the dark field, finally moved, sliding silently towards the basilisk.

As for Ted, he used the card [Promotion (Red)] that he had prepared long ago on it...
