Chapter 161: Preliminary Ideas for Dealing with the Basilisk

Allen withdrew his consciousness from the Thought Chamber.

He now felt a wave of egg-pain.

The difficulty of defeating the basilisk exceeded his imagination!

The basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets of Slytherin was at least 60 feet long! What concept is 60 feet? 60 feet is about 18 meters or more; the basilisk's diameter is estimated to be 1 meter.

A basilisk of this size is unparalleled in strength, let alone its huge body giving it exceptionally fast speed...

Allen had actually pinned his hopes on his Blade Leopards from the very beginning. But after truly seeing the basilisk today, he suddenly felt a bit lacking in confidence regarding the Blade Leopards.

First, whether the Blade Leopard's mithril claws and teeth could break through the basilisk's defense.

If the Blade Leopard's mithril claws and teeth could break through the basilisk's defense, then given the length and size of the Blade Leopard's claws and teeth, they actually could not inflict much damage on the basilisk.

The Blade Leopard's claws and teeth piercing the basilisk's body were like a small thorn stuck in a human palm. In some games, it would be like constantly trimming the boss's feet while fighting a BOSS.

Moreover, he could only control two Blade Leopards at once; fighting the basilisk would be like holding two needles to poke. Even if Rong Nainai possessed him, who knows how long it would take to poke it to death?

Furthermore, if this approach failed to hit vital points, the speed of damage inflicted would probably not be faster than the speed at which the basilisk's wounds healed.

He also considered poisoning the Blade Leopard's claws, but thinking of the basilisk's own poison resistance, he abandoned this idea.

Moreover, considering the Blade Leopard's size, according to game terminology, a basilisk with its strength could deal crushing damage with just a light hit; the Blade Leopard would likely be instantly reverted to its original form. Even though the Blade Leopard was fast, given the basilisk's size and length, it would be hard for the Blade Leopard to dodge the basilisk's sweeping attacks.

What if the mithril couldn't break through the basilisk's defense? That would be even more headache-inducing. After all, he had never truly tested the basilisk's defense with mithril; matters of life and death definitely required considering every possibility.

So, the Blade Leopard is a very useful transfigured beast for fighting small-to-medium-sized enemies, but it is inadequate when facing giant enemies like the basilisk.

So Allen prepared to design one or two transfigured beasts tailored specifically to deal with the basilisk.

The main directions are two:

First, try to increase the possibility of mithril breaking through the basilisk's defense. The reason mithril might fail to break through is likely insufficient attack force.

So he prepared to design such a transfigured beast: medium-sized, with no defensive capabilities whatsoever—after all, for the basilisk, having defense or not makes no difference. It would have only a 1-meter-long mithril horn on its head, shaped like a three-edged spike with blood grooves cut into it. It would possess extremely fast speed. All it needed to do was launch a high-speed charge from a distance, drive the mithril horn deep into the basilisk to leave a huge wound, and then this transfigured beast could die.

What this transfigured beast needs to consider is whether the collision is straight-on, whether the ramming horn might be sliced open by the basilisk's scales due to the angle, or whether it might be swatted to death mid-flight.

The second direction is to design a tiny-sized transfigured beast. Of course, this "tiny size" is only relative to the basilisk.

The reason for designing such a transfigured beast is that after carefully observing the basilisk, Allen keenly realized that the weak points of the basilisk's defense are actually its eyes and its internal organs.

Attacking the eyes is difficult, but attacking the internal organs is another matter. So he prepared to design a tiny-sized transfigured beast and induce the basilisk to swallow it. After all, snakes swallow food whole without chewing. If mithril cannot break through the basilisk's outer skin, then its soft and fragile internal organs would be easy to breach. At that time, it would be like Sun Wukong entering the belly of Queen Mother, inflicting huge damage upon it.

Of course, this is only Allen's preliminary idea; regarding exactly how to proceed with the design, he still needs more detailed consideration and experimentation.

If he cannot place the hope of inflicting serious damage on the basilisk on mithril,

then Allen can only consider more powerful attack methods.

After thinking it over, he discovered that none of the mastered spells he possessed could directly break through the basilisk's defense.

So he could only pin his hopes of inflicting serious damage on the basilisk on his innate transfiguration.

After thinking it over, he found that the fire dragon's breath was the most powerful attack method he could think of, and the fire dragon's breath should be able to break through the basilisk's defense.

However, transfiguring the gland for the fire dragon's breath is still too dangerous; Mr. Scamander had specifically written a letter to remind him of this before. So regarding the matter of transfiguring the gland for a fire dragon surprise attack, he still needs to ponder it carefully, considering how to ensure the safety of himself and others, so he doesn't accidentally spray the Savior to death by opening his mouth carelessly early in the morning.

Then Allen also keenly noticed that Slytherin's Chamber was a very large and high underground space.

The statue of Slytherin was over ten meters high, and the roof was so high it couldn't even be seen.

So Allen immediately had an idea; he decided that when facing the basilisk, he must find a way to fly!

In that case, his shortcomings would be largely compensated for, such as slow movement speed and inherent fragility, and so on.

If flying in the air, the basilisk couldn't attack him, and he could do whatever he wanted to the basilisk.

There are many ways to fly into the air. The first thing Allen thought of was a flying broomstick, but he wasn't very good at Quidditch, which was also a headache. It seemed he would need to find Harry for special training later.

So once in the air, as long as he himself didn't look into the basilisk's eyes or crash into a wall, in a sense, he would be in an unbeatable position.

Alas, the most troublesome thing is still the basilisk's eyes! Allen sighed inwardly.

You never know when your gaze will collide head-on with the basilisk's gaze...

So actually, the basilisk's eyes are the problem that urgently needs solving.

Only by solving the problem of the basilisk's eyes will Allen avoid sudden death.

If he cannot find a way to solve the threat of the basilisk's eyes, Allen would even consider not challenging the basilisk at all. After all, his life is still long; he cannot lose his life just because of this one thing.

But how to solve the problem of the basilisk's eyes? He felt very headache-inducing.

Whether by spell or other means, wanting to blind the basilisk's eyes, the first step is aiming, but while aiming, one would be killed by the basilisk's eyes.

This feels like a very unsolvable matter!

Is there any way to hit the target without aiming?

Anyway, Allen thought for a long time but came up with nothing.

Finally, he could only write another letter to Mr. Newt Scamander, assuming in the letter how to defeat the basilisk without utilizing its weaknesses, and specifically asking how to deal with the basilisk's eyes...

He hopes Mr. Scamander won't find this letter too strange when he sees it! Allen thought silently in his heart as he watched Hedwig fly away.
