I Tamed the Basilisk

"Little wizard, you... descendant of Slytherin's bloodline?"

The Basilisk's hissing roar became fragmented words in Li Wei's ears.

"Yes. You, close your eyes. Do not resist!"

Li Wei answered the Basilisk's question in Parseltongue and issued his command.

"Yes," the Basilisk replied, flicking its tongue as it obediently closed its eyes.

"Keep your eyes closed. Do not open them!"

Even though he knew Parseltongue's control over the Basilisk was absolute, Li Wei emphasized the command once more.

"Yes, they're closed~"

The Basilisk answered somewhat aggrievedly.

Its eyes were already shut tight. Why was this new descendant of Slytherin's bloodline so cautious?

Hearing the Basilisk's reply, Li Wei relaxed slightly.

However, he still did not open his eyes. Instead, he felt his way along the Basilisk's winding body on the ground until he reached the tip of its tail.

Only after positioning himself with his back to the Basilisk's head did Li Wei open his eyes. As he stroked the Basilisk, he opened the Illustrated Guide.

Sure enough, it now showed a suitable habitat for the Basilisk: a cave hidden beneath a giant lake.

To keep the Basilisk fed, the Illustrated Guide had also raised many rats and large fish in the cave and lake for it to hunt.

That way, the Basilisk would have no need to crawl up to the surface. The Illustrated Guide's arrangements suited me perfectly!

Li Wei thought happily, then checked the reward that had condensed from the Basilisk:

Petrification Immunity. From this day onward, Li Wei could resist any petrification or instant-death effect, including those of the Basilisk, Medusa, and petrification spells!

Petrification and death by petrification would have no effect on Li Wei!

"Damn, Petrificus Totalus will be completely useless against me from now on!"

Li Wei grinned in utter satisfaction and said joyfully.
