Determining the direction of the mermaid's song, Darren immediately rushed there, because in just a moment, he felt that the lake water had filled most of the wetsuit, and his body was cold, and it was becoming more and more difficult to breathe, and if he delayed any longer, let alone finish the race, even his little life would be over!

Driven by the magic power, although Darren's speed was much slower than at the beginning, it was still very fast, far from being comparable to his arms and legs, and suddenly, within the sensing range of the magic power, he found that there were many large stone structures in front of him, and there were large creatures swimming in between.

Darren slowed down, and in a few moments, the stone structures came into his field of vision, they were rough stone houses, with a lot of algae on them, I don't know if they grew on them, or if they were specially embellished on them, because he saw the same face in the window of the house as the mermaid last time, obviously, this is the mermaid's village.

He didn't see the big rock with the image of the mermaid painted last time, probably because it came from a different direction, I really don't know how far he ran at the bottom of the lake this time, Darren leaned over, and the merfolk smiled maliciously at him, and one or two of them ran out of the caves of those houses, spears in their hands, and slapping the lake with their thick and powerful silver fishtails.

Darren clenched his wand and swam forward, looking around as he went deeper into the number of stone houses, some of which had gardens around them, and a small Grimlody tethered to a door.

At this moment, suddenly a large group of merfolk rushed from the front, looking at him curiously, pointing at his wetsuit and the holes and wounds, and whispering with his hands over his mouth, Darren ignored them, and continued to move in the direction where the mermaid's song came from, and soon, a square appeared in front of him, and a large group of merfolk floated in it, and some merfolk in the middle were singing in unison, calling the warriors to pass.

Behind the singing mermaid, there stood a rough statue, a large mermaid carved out of a boulder, on the tail of the mermaid stone statue, two people tied with ropes, floating in the water, Darren recognized at a glance, it was Hermione and Gabrielle.

They all had their eyes closed and motionless, but even though they knew that they had magic on them, when Darren saw them for the first time, he couldn't help but feel a twitch in his heart, because this look was really terrifying, like a scene from a horror movie.

Darren hurriedly leaned over, only to see that they seemed to be asleep, because their heads were shrugged over their shoulders, and a string of thin blisters kept coming out of their mouths, not to mention that if they died, they would never bubble up, and this softness was not something that a dead man could do......

He went to Hermione and Gabrielle's side, and saw that there was a rope on the tail of the stone statue, which was probably Krum's "most beloved baby" besides them.

It's just that there is no watch now, and Darren can't be sure how much time has passed, but since Krum has already come, it must be about the same time as the time stipulated by the competition, and he decided to take Hermione and Gabrielle out of here immediately, even if it will affect Fleur's results, she won't blame it, because, Darren knows that for Fleur, Gabrielle is definitely more than the existence of the Triwizard Tournament.

Moreover, Darren himself was in a very bad condition, he felt that his breathing was getting more and more dull, and if he waited any longer, he really didn't know if he could take Hermione and Gabrielle back to the surface.

He summoned the Fire Charm again, easily severing the ropes around their legs, but when Darren did so, several pairs of gray hands reached out to him, and six or seven merfolk rushed over to pull him away from Gabrielle, shaking their green-haired heads, "You can only take your own hostages," one of them said to him, "Leave the others ......"

Darren condensed the flame spell into a long bar and pointed it at the mermaid who spoke, but did not speak, because he could no longer speak.

Although the merfolk had never seen the scene of Darren's Fire Charm dealing with Grindy Lowe, they had seen the ropes being swept away and broken just now, and the other side stepped back, "Your project is to rescue your own friends...... Leave everyone else ......."

Darren lengthened the length of the fire charm, and the bubbles that tumbled out of it swept past the merfolk, and he let out a cry, because the bubbles were filled with water vapor that had been boiled by the fire charm, and the other merfolk were busy hiding to the side, and the other merfolk, who were all smiling now, staring at Darren's wand with yellow eyes, and the fire charm sticking out of it.

Using the same magic to control the water around Hermione and Gabrielle, Darren took them to the surface of the water together, this time, he felt the taste of decompression, although the pressure on his body was decreasing, but in his chest, it was constantly expanding, so that the organs that had been severely injured were pulled again......

Maybe the magic was exhausted, or maybe the body was overwhelmed, and with Hermione and Gabrielle, Darren could feel his progress slower and slower, and finally he was almost suspended in the water and almost stopped, and the merfolk swam up with them, swimming around him briskly.

Is this the end of hope? Darren felt his eyes getting darker and darker, and every breath seemed as if a flame was burning in his chest, and he subconsciously waved his arm, and suddenly, his hand touched something hard.

He looked down and saw that it was the lead block, the lead block he wore to balance the buoyancy of the wetsuit, several pieces, all hanging from his waist, Darren fumbled to unbuckle it, and the lead bar sank to the bottom of the water quickly, and at the same time, he began to float towards the surface of the water again, as long as he continued, he would definitely be able to reach the surface, but, what about Hermione and Gabrielle?

Darren reached out and grabbed their clothes, then tore them into strips of cloth and tied them around their arms so that Hermione and Gabrielle would not be separated, he reached into his wand into the wetsuit, which was now filled with water, and took a deep breath, he gritted his teeth, "Flames"!

Although it was the lowest output fire charm, a flame still appeared at the top of the wand, instantly evaporating the water, and the hot water vapor filled the wetsuit, and then sprayed out of the hole above, and now, like a balloon, the wetsuit on Darren's body inflated and floated upwards rapidly......

Suddenly, Darren felt himself rush out of the water, and then fell back hard, hitting something, but he didn't feel too much pain, because his whole body was burned by the water vapor and he almost lost consciousness, and when he opened his mouth, a large mouthful of blood spurted out of it, and the last part of the journey, he floated too fast!
