Chapter 179: The Terrifying Basilisk

A massive basilisk, its entire body a shimmering emerald green, radiating the peculiar, dazzling glow of venomous snakes, was as thick as a great tree; it stretched its upper half high into the air. A bright red feather adorned its head, a characteristic of the male basilisk. Its eyes flickered with a chilling light, and it fixed its hungry gaze upon Allen, who hovered in the sky.

The scales on the basilisk's body were thick and smooth, faintly shimmering with magical light, indicating extremely strong defense. Its enormous body coiled upon the ground like a mountain of flesh.

Hovering in the air, Allen felt a wave of foul, fishy stench rush toward him. He immediately gained altitude, evading the basilisk's foul breath attack.

Only when truly facing a basilisk could one feel its sheer size; its massive body brought an immense sense of oppression.

A snake grows into a python, a python into a boa, a boa into a jiao, and a jiao into a dragon.

According to Chinese standards, this basilisk could be counted as a jiao.

Allen forcibly suppressed the turmoil in his heart. Facing the basilisk's provocation, he retaliated without the slightest hesitation.

He swiftly cast a Yan Ji Zhou spell at the basilisk. A yellow light appeared at the tip of his wand, striking the basilisk's terrifyingly large eyes like lightning.

The basilisk, having never expected such a tiny prey to fight back, was completely unprepared and was struck squarely in its right eye. In pain, it reared its ugly head and let out a agonizing roar...

The Yan Ji Zhou spell Allen had practiced for over a month took effect immediately. He lowered his altitude and released two Shock Bulls from his Spirit Ball.

The moment the Shock Bulls appeared, their eyes turned red, their heads lowered, their gleaming mithril horns held level. Their sturdy legs powerfully pounded the stone floor as they rapidly charged toward the basilisk, which loomed like a flesh mountain...

The basilisk, still in agony, paid no attention to the two Shock Bulls.

The two Shock Bulls successfully collided with the basilisk's body. One struck a sloped surface and was sliced open by the basilisk's smooth scales, leaving a deep gash on them. The other struck at a perfect angle; the momentum accumulated from its run drove its two one-meter-long mithril horns deep into the basilisk's body...

Fresh blood gushed out instantly, staining the ground around the basilisk red...

The basilisk's roar became even more horrific. Ignoring the pain in its eyes, its massive tail whipped up a gale, striking the two Shock Bulls beside it like a long whip. The two Shock Bulls, like two toys, were whipped away, crashing into a Shi Zhu and turning into a pile of wood shavings...

The basilisk's massive tail continued its sweep across the ground with undiminished force. The second wave of Shock Bulls Allen released was whipped into wood shavings halfway through their charge by the basilisk's tail...

Then, with tremendous force, it struck a Shi Zhu. A stone pillar as thick as a water bucket was shattered by the basilisk's tail as if it were tofu. A massive cracking sound echoed through this underground space, and countless stone fragments, carrying immense kinetic energy, flew outward like bullets...

The Shock Bulls were formed by Allen using tree trunks from the Forbidden Forest; therefore, when they suffered massive damage, the effect of the Transfiguration spell would vanish, reverting them to the form of tree trunks...

A stone fragment the size of a watermelon rushed fiercely toward Allen. He flapped his wings to dodge the fragment. It flew past his cheek, the sound of the air being torn by the fragment assaulting his eardrums. The decorative feathers on his head trembled violently. The tearing air struck his exposed facial skin, causing him to feel some pain...

Then the stone fragment smashed into the wall behind him, emitting a dull thud. He quickly turned his head and saw that the watermelon-sized stone fragment had been deeply embedded in the wall...

Even after months of preparation and mental fortification, the basilisk's strength far exceeded his expectations. A shadow inevitably fell over his heart...

Allen quickly snapped out of it. He knew this was no time to be dazed; he needed to inflict more damage on the basilisk...

At this moment, the basilisk also recovered its senses. It quickly located Allen in the air,

and fixed its gaze upon him again. Its yellow eyes, the size of lanterns, suddenly erupted with green light...

Allen then realized that the Yan Ji Zhou spell he had just cast had not blinded the basilisk's right eye. However, judging by its recent behavior, the spell had caused it immense pain.

But Allen immediately sensed something was wrong. He felt himself beginning to stiffen. The speed at which he flapped his wings slowed down. He felt his muscles beginning to harden like stone...

He knew this was caused by the magical power of the basilisk's eyes. He tried to avert his gaze from the basilisk, but he had already lost control of his body...

At this moment, a large amount of tears suddenly secreted from his eyes. These tears seemed capable of neutralizing the magical power projected by the basilisk's eyes. He gradually regained control of his body and quickly ended the stare-down with the basilisk.

He had a sudden realization: the green light appearing in the basilisk's eyes could greatly enhance the lethality of its gaze.

Therefore, he must decisively break the stare-down when green light appears in its eyes.

A wave of fear washed over Allen's heart. The basilisk's magical power also exceeded the records in the books. Fortunately, the tears of the phoenix could neutralize this suddenly enhanced magical power; otherwise, he would have been directly controlled by the basilisk just now.

He quickly released a Shock Falcon from his Spirit Ball and commanded it to circle around the basilisk's head. As expected, the basilisk's attention was drawn to the rapidly flying Shock Falcon. Seizing the opportunity, he released several more Shock Bulls, inflicting several more wounds on the basilisk.

Taking advantage of the basilisk's distraction, Allen decided to launch an offensive. The pouch on his neck was already filled with magical secretions. He intended to test the lethality of his dragon breath against the basilisk.

He flew to the ceiling of the chamber, took a deep breath, and then dove toward the basilisk. Since the range of his breath was only about 10 meters, he needed to get close to the basilisk.

He rushed at the basilisk like a red lightning bolt. He compressed the nozzle in his mouth to the limit. He swooped over the basilisk's head at a height of roughly 5 meters. As he passed, he suddenly opened his mouth, and an extremely bright flame erupted from his mouth, blasting the basilisk...

This flame illuminated the entire chamber. The temperature of the entire chamber seemed to rise by several degrees. The puddles on the ground where the basilisk coiled were evaporated by the heat of this flame, and white steam rose around the basilisk...

This flame started from the basilisk's head and sprayed all the way to its back. The originally emerald green scales of the areas hit turned scorched black, losing their original luster and becoming dull and lifeless...

This single strike inflicted more damage on the basilisk than the sum of all previous injuries...

The basilisk, clearly having never suffered such a loss from childhood to adulthood, had red bloodshot veins appear in its yellow eyes. This was a sign of its extreme rage...

It endured the pain in its body, ignored the interference of the Shock Falcon, and fiercely lunged at Allen, who was preparing to exhale again...
