Chapter 63: The Mermaid's End
Why did these merfolk kill me?
Li Yang didn't have time to think about this problem, and in the face of the attack of hundreds of mermaids, he waved his wand.
"There are many obstacles."
An invisible wall lay beneath Li Yang, and because it was in the water, the invisible wall instead highlighted the outline.
Except for the dozens of people who rushed to the front and failed to stop in time and crashed into the wall, the rest of the merfolk stopped, across the wall, holding spears, and flapping their teeth and claws at Li Yang on the other side of the wall.
"Get around." It was the mermaid who entangled Li Yang with waterweeds again, and spoke.
With a single sentence, hundreds of merfolk turned around and swam towards the edge of the outline of the wall highlighted by the current, while the mermaid leader himself remained in the aquatic weeds, sitting firmly behind.
It can be seen that it is clearly the leader of the merfolk,
Seeing this, Li Yang's eyes rolled, attached to his body, and swam downward.
Isn't there a wall in the way?
and not by whom the wall was erected.
When Li Yang was about to hit the wall, his wand moved, revealing a hole in the wall that was large enough for people to pass through.
The mermaid leader obviously didn't expect this scene, and shouted for the clansmen to come back, and the spear in his hand was hurriedly raised and stabbed at Li Yang, who rushed down.
Li Yang is a human being, although he used the gill sac grass to obtain gills and webs, but after all, he is not a real aquatic creature, so he never intended to go head-to-head with the mermaid.
"Except for your weapons."
"Whoa." The spear flew out of the merman's hand, swirled, rippled in the water, and fell into the aquatic weeds and disappeared.
The mermaid hurriedly turned around and went down to pick it up.
is worthy of being a mermaid, and her every move in the water is flexible and free, far more agile than Li Yang, who has taken gill sac grass at the moment.
Before Li Yang could rush in front of it, the mermaid had already burrowed into the aquatic weeds.
Along with it, there was a red light.
"Fainted."
When Li Yang swam to the vicinity of the aquatic weeds, he didn't need to look for it himself, and the mermaid who fell into a coma with his eyes closed surfaced from the aquatic weeds by himself.
It looks like a corpse.
There are really people who are considered corpses.
"Ahhhh......h
But it was the hundreds of mermaids, who had already swam back at this time, and when they saw the picture of the leader floating on the water like a dead fish, they all screamed wildly.
Its cry was heard, and with this group of merfolk as the center, it formed a water wave that was clearly visible to the naked eye, spreading out to all sides.
"Lalala......"
Far and deep at the bottom of the lake, a strange singing sounded.
Li Yang didn't dare to slack off, and quickly turned around.
His gaze met hundreds of hateful gazes, and then he saw a scalp-numbing scene:
Black, Green, Yellow, Big, Small...... All kinds of fish creatures of different colors, shapes, and sizes rushed to gather towards the mermaid, because the swimming speed was too fast and the scale of the composition was too large, from the position where Li Yang was, it was almost like huge colored clouds flying towards this side.
With such a huge riot of fish, even the slow-flowing lake water was stirred, forming a line of water behind the fish.
The whole world at the bottom of the lake seems to be boiling.
"What's going on?!"
In the distance, a moss-covered statue of a mermaid stands at the bottom of the water, with five people tied to its tail.
They were Hermione, Ron, Neville, Ginny, and Gabrielle Delacul, who came with her sister Fleur in this competition.
Five hostages, corresponding to five warriors.
Li Yang aside, Harry and the other four were here at the moment, and they were all busy rescuing people from the mermaids, but they all stopped and looked at the surging schools of fish swimming around the bottom of the water in shock.
"What's going on underwater?"
"Is there some danger? I've heard that animals migrate in groups like this when faced with some disasters. ”
"Maybe it's some kind of test set by the school?"
…… The four of you glanced at me, immersed in the spectacle in front of you, and completely forgot that the four of them were rivals in the competitive relationship.
"Ahh
"What's wrong again?" Harry and the others were startled by the sudden scream.
But in front of him, the mermaids who prevented themselves from saving people turned around and joined the ranks of those fish and swam away.
"Whoosh Whoosh ......"
Around the bottom of the water beneath them, there were a large number of corals, deliberately shaped like houses, and groups of merfolk swarmed out of it, and in the loud song of the merfolk, they held spears and formed a team, swimming in the direction of the distance.
"Oh my god, there are so many mermaids here!"
The four contestants turned pale with fright.
Not far away, you can also see water demons and Grindillo swimming past one by one......
For the first time, Harry knew that there was such a terrible side to Hogwarts in paradise, under the lake where the students were playing.
They subconsciously looked in the direction where the merfolk and schools of fish had gathered.
"What the hell is going on there?"
"Let's take a look?"
"Whoever likes to go, I won't go, I'm scared to death."
…… Krum, Diggory, and Fleur shook their heads again and again.
Especially when they saw a giant squid that was about the size of the dragon in the first game, also waving its tentacles and swimming wildly towards the distance, they didn't want to stay for a second longer, and took advantage of the mermaid's departure to quickly save Hermione and the other hostages and go back.
Harry was the only one left staring into the distance.
"Harry, get out of here, God knows what's there? Don't forget, our mission is to compete, to fight for Hogwarts. For the sake of his fellow school, Diggory couldn't help but remind.
Thinking of the Triwizard Tournament, Harry swam up with the hostages he had saved.
The four of them swam out of the water, and as soon as their heads appeared, the crowd waiting on the shore pedals and high platforms erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
There are also people who frown.
"What about Li Yang?" Snape's eyes swept across the water, but he didn't see Li Yang's figure, and secretly said strangely.
Now he didn't dare to treat Li Yang as an ordinary student anymore, not to mention anything else, his own "Advanced Potions Production" alone was enough to explain the problem.
You know, this is a textbook that only sixth-graders can study!
Moreover, no one knew better than Snape the dangers of this book, which was full of the dark arts that he was passionate about when he was a student, and behind each of them was his immature, dangerous, and extremely obsessive mind with the dark arts, which was guided by all kinds of magic that could be put in danger, but the mind of those who were not determined could easily be brought into danger.
Since Li Yang was able to finish his studies safely, it meant that his magical strength and willpower had surpassed the level of the students.
Is there any reason why such a person and a few students should not win?
So from the beginning of the second match, Snape knew that Li Yang would win, but now Li Yang just didn't come up.
"Dead?"
It is normal for the Triwizard Tournament to die, and it was abandoned in history because the mortality rate was too high, but Snape couldn't believe that the weak Harry and others came up, but the strongest Li Yang would die underwater.
"Dead!" Moody's tongue was cold, like a snake spitting out a letter, and his heart was proud.
"Look, what's that?" One of the students pointed to the surface of the lake and shouted, causing all the teachers and students to crane their necks and look at the lake.
The four Harry, who had not yet swam to the shore, couldn't help but look back.
"Whoa."
Suddenly a splash erupted from the surface of the lake, and a tongue of fire burst out of the splash, jumped into the air, and finally fell into an elliptical parabola.
When the commentator on the high platform saw this scene, he remembered what happened in the first game for no reason, and reflexively hugged his head and squatted down, but saw that the tongue of fire finally fell on Madame Maxim's long skirt, and with a "whew", it immediately caught fire.
"Extinguish the fire!"
"Madame Maxim!"
"Be careful."
…… Suddenly there was a fire attack, causing a commotion on the high platform.
Maxim is also the head of the school after all, he only glanced at it, he was not flustered, and he took out his wand and cast a spell very calmly, "Clear water is like a spring." ”
The tip of the wand was like a fountain, spewing out a stream of water and pouring it over the skirt.
"Whirring ......"
The flames were doused with water, but instead of being extinguished, they burned more and more, burning the skirt at an alarming speed, and burning towards Maxim's body.
"Clear water is like a spring, clear water is like a spring...... Maxim was completely panicked at this time, and he used several clear water like springs in a row, and the clear water summoned was enough to submerge the entire high platform, but it couldn't extinguish the fire.
In the blink of an eye, the flames ran down the hem of her clothes and burned to her legs.
Maxim screamed in exclamation, completely losing the bearing of a schoolmaster, and out of the subconscious instinct of a man to encounter fire, he raised his foot and was about to jump into the lake under the high platform.
At that moment, a slender wand came into her eyes.
Elderberry Wand!
The flames that burned to Maxim's body froze for a moment, and then with Dumbledore's wielding wand, they peeled off the clusters of charred clothes and floated in the air, floating in front of Dumbledore's eyes.
Maxim breathed a sigh of relief, and thanked Dumbledore as he took Hagrid's coat to cover his exposed legs.
"You're welcome." Dumbledore replied, but his eyes were focused on the flames floating in front of him, studying and thinking to himself.
"Oh my God!"
"Harry, quick, quick, swim up."
"Diggory, give me your hand."
"Krum, watch your back."
"Fleur."
…… A shout of surprise came from below, drawing Dumbledore's attention away.
When I looked down, my eyelids jumped wildly.
I saw that the lake that had been calm in the past was now full of flames, yes, the kind of strange flames that almost burned Madame Maxim just now, and could not be extinguished with water.
There was only one, and now there was everywhere on the lake, crackling and burning, floating on the lake like a lotus, spreading irregularly back and forth along the current, and the four Harry who had not yet come ashore, in the shouts of their classmates on the shore, swam towards the shore in a panic, and some of the fire fell on the shore, frightening the students on the shore to scatter with their heads in their hands, and some fell on the support of the high platform, and after a few seconds, the high platform made a "squeak" overwhelmed sound, and fell down to the lake. The people on the high platform screamed and fled......
"Knock ......"
Burning corpses emerge from the bottom of the water, merfolk, water demons, Grindillo, and the entire lake is filled with corpses and flames.
And among those corpses, the corpse of a huge burning squid stood out, and there was a piece behind it that was not yet burning, and there was a person standing there.
--Li Yang!
