Black American Comics: Start with a Snap

Chapter 159: Chasing the basilisk!
Just one glance was enough for Su Ze to be sure that the thing was most likely aimed at him.

His staff lounge was located in the corridor next to Ravenclaw, which was considered an upper floor even in Hogwarts Castle. The basilisk was lurking in the underground secret room, so it was generally impossible for it to come to the upper floors.

I thought the basilisk would not be too presumptuous after just waking up, but now it seems that I underestimated this guy. I didn't expect it not even gave me a chance to breathe, and came out to hurt people in less than a day.

Su Ze stepped forward and stretched out his hand to feel the girl's breath, and found that she was breathing very slowly, which made him feel slightly relieved.

Fortunately, the girl did not have a direct contact with the basilisk. She was petrified by an indirect gaze. This was not an ordinary petrification magic. If it was more serious, it would be life-threatening.

"Rocket, take a few students and take her to the infirmary."

Su Ze spoke calmly, but beneath his seemingly emotionless tone, there was an unconcealable murderous intent.

Rocket, who was familiar with Su Ze, immediately saw what Su Ze was thinking and frowned slightly. "I suggest you inform the other professors first."

"There's no time." Su Ze shook his head slightly and stood up. "Since it wants to die, I'll help it."

"But we haven't found a way to deal with it yet."

Rocket Raccoon opened his mouth, but he could see that Suze had already made up his mind, so after hesitating for a moment, Rocket took something out of his backpack and threw it to Suze.

After catching the thing thrown by Rocket, Su Ze realized that it was actually a tactical goggles.

"You said that nothing will happen as long as we don't look directly into its eyes, right?" Rocket Raccoon looked at Su Ze and said in a deep voice. "Be careful."

"Ah."

Su Ze nodded heavily, then without any hesitation, turned around and ran out of the Ravenclaw common room.

The basilisk came here following his scent. Perhaps there are other wizards born in Muggle families in the school, but for a pure-blooded Muggle like himself who still possesses a certain amount of magical energy, it is like dancing in Slytherin's minefield for the basilisk.

This is also the reason why the basilisk couldn't wait to come to his lounge to attack him when it was released for the first time.

If it hadn't accidentally injured a student when passing by the Ravenclaw common room, the basilisk would probably have gone straight into its own staff common room.

Now the basilisk has already left. The pipes in Hogwarts Castle are so complicated that even the Marauder's Map does not record them completely. It is not an easy task to track down the basilisk.

But now, Su Ze no longer chooses to hide himself. He has only one idea, which is to kill the basilisk before it hurts other people again.

His hand touched the notebook in his chest pocket, and the next moment, a bright blue light emerged, and Su Ze's body changed drastically in the blink of an eye.

Two sturdy arms stretched out from Su Ze's back, and the original human face was replaced by ferocious fangs and teeth.

In just a few breaths, Su Ze's human body turned into a terrifying monster with four arms and all black.

Some students passing by couldn't help but scream. They had never seen a Vanguard before, and seeing the professor turned into a monster left a deep impression on them.

They were stunned, but Su Ze was not. He quickly shouted to the students around him.

"Everyone, go back to the dormitories! Inform the prefects of each college that no one is allowed to run around in the corridors, and students who are still on the Quidditch field should not approach the castle. Quick!"

Many junior students were still surprised that Su Ze had turned into a monster, but some senior students had already reacted.

Although they didn't know what was going on, obeying the professor's orders was definitely the right choice. They had already experienced a troll crisis last year, so several senior students quickly took action.

Su Ze held his head high, constantly sniffing the lingering snake smell in the air.

Although the Vanguard is only a blue [Spirit], its abilities are comprehensive and outstanding. In addition to the ability to change color and control body temperature, its sensitivity to smell makes it an excellent hunter.

This is also the reason why Rocket calls them "alien dogs".

After simply distinguishing the remaining scents in the air, Su Ze quickly smelled the most pungent fishy smell among the many scents.

His eyes followed the wall all the way to the moving stairs, and Su Ze ran out without saying a word. In order to increase his speed, Su Ze ran wildly on all fours.

With the help of the vanguard's body, Su Ze walked on the moving stairs in the castle as if it were flat ground. He didn't even need to wait for the stairs to reset. Jumping back and forth, Su Ze rushed directly to the second floor, scaring the portraits on the wall.

The smell became stronger and stronger, and at the same time, the friction sound heard before also sounded. Su Ze knew that the direction was correct and he had caught up with the snake monster.

The basilisk must be killed before it returns to the Chamber of Secrets. Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets can only be opened by Parseltongue. Suze doesn't want to trouble Harry Potter to make another trip. He just wants to see the body of the basilisk lying in front of him now.

As he chased after them all the way, the screams of the students and the portraits became farther and farther away. At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed in front of Su Ze's eyes, blocking his way.

"gentlemen!"

Su Ze's huge body suddenly braked, almost knocking the guy away. Looking closely, he saw a house elf appeared in front of him.

"More than?"

The bat-like ears, elongated nose, and iconic pillowcase outfit are completely different from what the house-elves in Hogwarts Castle wear.

"Yes, yes, yes sir." Dobby trembled, and it was obvious that he was also frightened by Su Ze's appearance at this moment.

"What are you doing here? It's dangerous here. Leave now!"

"Sir is Harry Potter's professor. Dobby must help you deal with the monster." Although Dobby was very scared, he still said seriously.

Dobby pointed at a corner and said hastily, "The monster went over there. It's hiding in the wall!"

Hearing this, Su Ze was stunned at first, then looked in front of him in confusion.

According to the lingering smell in the air, the direction in which the basilisk left should be straight ahead, but Dobby pointed to the corner, which was inconsistent with Su Ze's judgment.

But after a few seconds of hesitation, Su Ze still chose to believe Dobby in front of him.

"I understand. Leave quickly and don't let the students get close to here. Also, find a way to notify other professors."

"Dobby knows. Dobby will go now."

Nodding, Dobby snapped his fingers and disappeared in front of Su Ze.

The next moment, Su Ze stepped on the accelerator and turned sharply in the direction Dobby said. This time, everything around him became quiet, and even the fishy smell in the air became weaker.

This direction is the dark corridor leading to the greenhouse. Generally, except for the head of Hufflepuff House and the students who go to the greenhouse for classes, basically no one will come to this location.

There was no sound in the walls, and Su Ze no longer smelled any smell.

Just when Su Ze was wondering if he had been deceived by Dobby, suddenly a subtle feeling came into Su Ze's heart.

It was a faint murderous intent. Although it was not obvious, it was very pure. Once this feeling appeared, Su Ze's heart was alarmed.

'Someone has cast a Confusion Charm on me!'

Su Ze immediately understood what had happened. He must have been ambushed by someone hiding among the students while he was tracking the basilisk.

Although he was a real Muggle, his magic resistance was still very high, allowing him to be affected by the Confusion Curse under the body of the Vanguard. The guy who cast the curse was definitely not a student.

There was no time to think about it. Since it was confirmed that the basilisk was right next to him, Su Ze was furious and his whole body changed again in an instant.

The already huge body became even bigger as if inflated, and in the blink of an eye Su Ze had caught up with Hagrid's size.

Aiming at the wall from which the murderous intent came, Su Ze swung his huge fist without the slightest hesitation.

"Shake the mountain!!"

The next moment, a deafening explosion erupted!
A horrifying roar echoed from the dark corridor. The surrounding ground began to tremble slightly, rubble flew everywhere, and half of the wall collapsed under this punch.

As the bricks laid flat on the wall fell off one by one, the huge pipes hidden behind them revealed their original appearance.

A pipe with a diameter as tall as an adult was blasted open by Su Ze, leaving a huge crack. Inside the pipe, a huge dark green tail was twisting rapidly, quickly fleeing to a deeper part of the pipe.

"Want to run!?"

Seeing this, Su Ze reached out and grabbed the basilisk's tail. He used both hands and pushed his feet hard on the edge of the wall, trying hard to pull it out of the pipe.

Just when Su Ze just touched the basilisk's tail, an extremely powerful force instantly came from his arm. At this moment, Su Ze felt like he was fighting with a big fish. Even with the power of the black dwarf, he was almost able to break free.

However, Su Ze reacted quickly. He grabbed the basilisk's skin fiercely, his fingers embedded in the scales, and vowed to keep the basilisk here.

It was not known whether it was because of the pain or because Su Ze’s strength was too great, the basilisk twisted its body frantically, but still could not break free from Su Ze’s restraints.

A harsh collision erupted in the narrow pipe, accompanied by bursts of heart-pounding roars.

The basilisk probably knew that it had a high probability of not being able to escape, so it became extremely ferocious, and with some terrifying power from nowhere, it directly cracked the pipe.

In an instant, the walls of the long corridor collapsed, and the body of the basilisk appeared in the air!
