Chapter 160 Nagini in the cave
Chapter 160 Nagini in the cave
Riddle made a "hissing" sound from time to time, and vipers all over the place responded to him and formed a neat line. Under their leadership, Xiven and others once again came to the cave that had been previously explored by ghost Xiven and Aurelius.
Under the control of Riddle's Parseltongue, the vipers in the cave became harmless to humans and animals, and they obediently opened a wide path for everyone, even if they squeezed their companions.
Several larger vipers crawled ahead without complaint and led the way, twisting and turning around several natural stone pillars, and finally arrived at an extremely secret cave entrance.
The entrance to the cave is about the thickness of a bucket and is hidden among rocks. The outside of the cave entrance was also blocked by a large stone, so that no one found it when Ghost Xiven and Aurelius just explored it.
Ahead, the larger vipers stopped in front of the cave entrance, hissing non-stop, but no longer daring to take a step forward, as if they were afraid of something.
"They said that inside is where the snake king lives." Riddle explained.
Looking at the hole as thick as a bucket in front of them, Xiwen and the others looked at each other.
"So we have to crawl in?" Karma asked with a frown. He used the wand illumination technique to shine a light on the entrance of the cave, and found that it was extremely deep, with no end in sight.
"Otherwise, what else can we do? Is it possible to dig out this hole?" Aberforth said as he eagerly rolled up his sleeves and prepared to dive in.
Aurelius, who was more eager than Aberforth, stopped his movement and said: "I can do it alone, I will wake up Nagini."
"No, it's too dangerous!" Aberforth shook his head. "What if her humanity is really wiped out and she launches a desperate attack on you? We can help you think of a solution if we go in."
"I have the ability to protect myself and will not be hurt." Aurelius retorted.
"In case……"
Just when the two were in a stalemate, the ghost Xiwen silently floated between them.
"I said...have you forgotten my abilities?" He looked at the two people who still wanted to continue the debate and said helplessly. "I can travel regardless of objects. As long as I go in, open the portal, and send you there..."
"Then it's up to you, Strange." Dumbledore, who had already thought of this method, smiled at Sivan, then grabbed the arms of Aberforth and Aurelius, and fought over Blushed and thick-necked, they pulled away to both sides of them.
Ghost Xiwen shrugged and lowered his body a little, letting his body sink into the ground to ensure that his head was exactly at the entrance of the hole.
The white light of Nevalon lit up again, illuminating the narrow tunnel ahead. Then, the ghost Xiwen floated forward along this tunnel.
This tunnel was obviously dug by reptiles - the tunnel is surrounded by very smooth and solid earth walls, which should have been formed by reptiles frequently passing through. In addition, the occasional remains of small animals remain.
This tunnel winds downward as a whole, and its length is also amazing. According to Xiwen's speed, he floated for roughly two minutes before finally reaching the end of the tunnel, and what followed was a wide cave that suddenly opened up!
Under the light of Nevalon, a wide space appeared outside the tunnel - a strange cave filled with various stalagmites, stone pillars and stone curtains. A clear stream slowly flowed from the depths of the cave. It flows out so clear that you can see the white stream bed.
In the deeper part of the cave, beside the stream, there are several exquisite stalagmites surrounding a flat stone, forming a lotus-like platform.
There is a big snake coiled on the lotus-shaped platform. Her body rises and falls occasionally, as if she is falling into a deep sleep.
Xiwen subconsciously held his breath.
Then, he realized that he didn't need to breathe at all, so he safely summoned a dimensional door and called Dumbledore and the others over.
"It's amazing that there is such a large cave here." Dumbledore walked out from behind the portal first and looked at the strange stalagmites and stone curtains around him with interest.
While looking at it, he also saw the big snake coiled on the lotus-shaped platform.
"Aurelius, is that Nagini?" Dumbledore lowered his voice and asked Aurelius.
At this time, Aurelius's expression proved everything.
The excitement on his face was uncontrollable, and he shouted Nagini's name almost subconsciously.
"Nagini!"
Orochi was suddenly awakened by Aurelius's voice, and her body swayed slightly.
Aurelius walked forward with a complicated expression, worried about gain and loss. He never cared about stepping into the water on the ground or the stream. He just walked slowly and firmly until he reached the big snake.
Standing in front of the platform, he stretched out his hand tremblingly, trying to touch her tentatively.
Xiwen and others behind him watched his movements nervously, without saying a word or stepping forward to disturb him.
Everyone wants to know whether Nagini has really completely lost her humanity, and whether Aurelius can really awaken her consciousness?
Finally, Aurelius put his hand on the top of the snake's head and stroked it gently. The big snake didn't make any movement to resist, as if it was feeling his comfort.
However, just when everyone was quietly relieved, something changed suddenly!
The big snake suddenly opened its mouth and bit Aurelius' hand hard!
Aurelius's right hand turned into a black mist and dispersed, then reorganized in an instant. Although he was not physically hurt, his expression was full of pain.
"Aurelius!" Aberforth immediately wanted to rush forward, but was blocked by Dumbledore.
"Tom, try Parseltongue!" Dumbledore shouted to Riddle, hugging Aberforth's shoulders tightly.
Riddle opened his mouth and made a "hissing" sound knowingly, trying to talk to Nagini in Parseltongue.
However, the frantic Nagini only paused for a moment, but then launched a further attack on Aurelius without being affected!
"Parseltongue actually failed..." Riddle looked at the big snake that was still attacking in disbelief, with a dazed expression.
"Maybe it's a good thing that Parseltongue is out of action." At this time, Newt said loudly next to him. "This just proves that Nagini has not completely lost the 'human' part and has completely turned into a viper!"
He then quickly opened his suitcase and released another magical animal.
