Chapter 222 Subduing the Basilisk
As if controlled by an invisible hand, the thin layer of water on the ground instantly rose up and rapidly gathered in front of him like a waterfall flowing backward, instantly forming a crystal clear, constantly flowing and rotating wall of water!
"laugh--!"
The venom slammed violently against the water wall, producing a teeth-grinding sound. The highly corrosive venom attempted to penetrate the water wall, but Lynch precisely maintained his magical output. The water wall fluctuated violently, constantly dispersing and neutralizing the force of the venom's impact, while the water itself was rapidly blackened, corroded, and evaporated.
Just as the venom spray was about to subside and the water wall was about to collapse, Lin Qi clasped his hands together in front of his chest, making a hugging and compressing motion.
The dilapidated wall of water, mixed with deadly poison, seemed to be bound by an invisible force field, suddenly contracting inward!
All the contaminated water, along with the deadly venom it contained, was forcibly squeezed and gathered, instantly forming a black water sphere that floated in mid-air and tumbled continuously.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Qi gently blew a breath towards the black water sphere.
A chilling aura swept through the secret chamber, and the surface of the rolling black water sphere instantly froze, emitting a faint "crackling" sound. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a smooth, mirror-like black ice sphere containing unstable, dark green venom.
It hovered there silently, exuding a dangerous and cold aura.
With a casual wave of his hand, Lin Qi sent the ice ball containing the basilisk's venom flying lightly to the side, embedding itself in a recess in a stone pillar, becoming a dangerous specimen temporarily kept in custody.
This series of actions was fluid and seamless, not only perfectly defending against the basilisk's venom attack, but also transforming and sealing away this deadly threat, demonstrating Lynch's amazing control and composure in battle.
Seeing that its venom attack was ineffective, the basilisk became even more enraged, and its massive body charged forward again with the force to crush everything in its path!
At that moment, Riddle, hidden in the shadow of the stone pillar, flashed a cold light in his eyes! He noticed that in the instant Lynch was condensing the ice ball and dealing with the venom, his entire mind seemed to be focused on controlling the magic, and his vigilance towards his surroundings was perhaps at its lowest!
It's now!
Riddle suddenly emerged from the shadows, his translucent body flashing. Lockhart's wand, like a serpent unleashed, was pointed straight at Lynch's back. The cold, all-ending spell was already on his lips: "Avada..."
The moment Riddle uttered "Kedavra," Lynch, whose wand was pointing at him, suddenly blurred and collapsed, transforming into a black raven flapping its wings in the ghastly green light of the Killing Curse and in a split second before his body!
The green light of the Death Curse pierced through the afterimage left by the crow, struck the wall in the distance behind, and exploded, leaving a small charred mark.
A crow let out a hoarse caw, circled upwards, and disappeared into the swirling gray mist. Lynch's calm voice seemed to whisper in his ear: "Perfect timing, Mr. Riddle. Too bad..."
'
Alarm bells rang in Riddle's mind, and the spirit retreated hastily like a startled ghost.
He stared in disbelief as Lin Qi's figure appeared right beside him, inches away, without warning!
He turned sharply to the other side and was even more shocked to find that the crow that had been circling in the air was twisting and deforming in the dim light, and in an instant it also turned into the appearance of Lynch.
Two Lynchs.
One left and one right.
Their aura, magical fluctuations, and even their calm gaze and the smile on their faces were exactly the same.
"This is impossible—" Riddle's soul fluctuations became slightly disordered.
Just as Riddle was in a state of confusion, the situation on the other side suddenly became clear.
Faced with the basilisk charging again, Lin Qi no longer dodged. He closed his eyes, his expression cold and stern, and his hands rapidly traced several mysterious arcs in front of him. The gray mist permeating the secret chamber seemed to be summoned by an invisible force, frantically converging towards the basilisk. At the same time, the thin layer of water on the ground seemed to boil as if it had come alive!
"drink!"
With a low shout from Lin Qi, the gathering gray mist and the large amount of accumulated water instantly underwent a strange change.
They intertwined and froze in the air, making a crisp "crackling" sound, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into dozens of thick, gleaming ice chains!
These chains, like living pythons, coiled around the basilisk's massive body with incredible agility, especially focusing on binding its most threatening head and neck.
The basilisk let out a deafening roar and struggled frantically. Its immense power shattered several ice chains, but more ice chains continued to form from the mist and water, relentlessly coiling around it!
Lin Qi made a fist with both hands, as if he were personally pulling the chains, and suddenly yanked them to both sides!
"Boom!"
The enormous basilisk was forcibly pulled up from the ground, its heavy body forcibly pulled and fixed between several thick stone pillars by multiple frost chains, like a sacrificed prisoner, twisting in vain, but no longer able to move freely.
But this is not the end!
Just as the basilisk was hoisted up, Lin Qi pointed his finger, and a thick cloud of gray mist mixed with water vapor, like a tangible colloid, precisely covered the basilisk's two frantically turning, yellow giant eyes that were trying to find their target!
The mist and water vapor condensed instantly, forming a thick, completely opaque, arc-shaped ice sheet that froze perfectly onto the basilisk's eyelids, completely blocking its deadly gaze!
Just as the basilisk was suspended by ice chains and its eyes were sealed by ice caps, it opened its blood-red maw in rage and fear. Venom strong enough to melt rocks surged in its throat, and an even more shrill and ear-piercing roar was about to erupt. Lin Qi flicked his fingertips lightly.
The lingering gray mist around the basilisk's head and the dense moisture in the air responded to the call once more, surging towards the basilisk's gaping maw. They quickly condensed and extended between its upper and lower jaws, forming a thick, tough icy gag that not only sealed off its roars but also cleverly blocked the spraying channels of its venom glands.
"Ugh—!!!"
The deafening roar was instantly suppressed into a dull, distorted sob.
The basilisk's massive body convulsed violently and struggled wildly due to extreme rage and suffocation, causing the ice chains to vibrate violently and emit a teeth-grinding crunching sound.
However, the ice chains and gag were incredibly strong, effectively locking all its resistance within this limited space.
The secret room fell into a truly chilling silence.
Only the faint sound of ice chains rubbing together and the suppressed, heavy breathing of the basilisk due to its difficulty breathing remained.
Looking at his most prized possession, the Basilisk left behind by Slytherin, which had been completely subdued in such a humiliating and powerless manner, Riddle gripped Lockhart's wand tightly, but could not find any solace in it.
