Chapter 251: The Mermaid's Test
The giant octopus has seen a lot of food delivered to its door, but this is the first time it has seen food that is fed directly into its mouth at such a fast speed.
Although I just ate a Grindy Lowe not long ago, I won't be too hungry, but when I encounter such an impatient buffet, it would be a bit disrespectful to the other party's enthusiasm not to eat it.
So, the octopus opens its mouth wide and waits for precise feeding.
Rove certainly didn't want to be eaten, but he was so fast that even if he slowed down, he would have to fall into the tiger's mouth.
At the last moment, he spewed a cloud of gas to the right, exerting a tiny initial velocity to the left.
As a result, Rove's accelerated motion changed from a straight line to a parabolic motion, and his body crossed a wonderful arc in the lake water, which happened to intersect with the octopus.
Seeing that the food in its mouth was about to slip away, the giant octopus reached out with a tentacle as thick as an arm, like an arrow and shot at the boy.
The tentacles spun around the water, instantly wrapping around the boy's ankle and pulling him back.
Unhurriedly, Rove condensed an ice blade, raised and dropped his hand, and slashed the tentacle with one sword.
The severed tentacles fell off Rove's body, still fluttering, and when the tentacles were retracted, a large amount of blue blood oozed from the fracture, exuding a fishy smell.
Rove was thrown out, and due to the huge momentum, his figure spun in the water several times, and there was a sudden clanging in his mind.
[A wild giant octopus detected, triggering side quest 1:]

【Tentacle Sucker】
[Suction cups appear on the skin, these suction cups have a very strong adsorption capacity (mission uncompleted)]
After Rove stabilized his figure, he glanced at the system reward, he wanted to go straight to the mermaid village, but he would turn around decisively and run straight towards the octopus.
Triwizard Tournament...... How can it be important to treat the octopus, he is a veterinarian who saves lives!
On the referee's bench, Ludon's sonorous voice sounded again, and he excitedly said:
"Scamander was attacked by a giant octopus, and he was able to escape by severing his tentacles."
"Is he ready to leave? Oh-no-Scamander actually rushed at the giant octopus. ”
Under the watchful eyes of all the students, more tentacles shot towards Rove, successfully surrounding him.
The octopus suddenly tightened its tentacles and wanted to tie up Rove, but unfortunately the sky did not fulfill people's wishes, and I saw the young man tossing and turning in the water, and while dodging, he cut off the tentacles that passed by with a knife.
As a result, the tentacles were like ropes, hanging in the air, and they could never get close to the boy at all.
The giant octopus screamed as it twisted its body frantically as it spewed out a large cloud of ink, completely polluting the surrounding waters.
Rove immediately waved his wand and cast a bubble head charm on himself to prevent being paralyzed by the toxin,
When he burst out of the ink, the giant octopus was no longer visible.
That octopus escaped so fast? It's neither scientific nor magical!
Rove frowned, looked around, and soon saw a huge river mussel floating in the water.
The strange thing is that a steady stream of blue blood flows from it.
Rove smiled and ran straight for the mussels.
The mussel swelled up and turned back into a giant octopus, and when it tried to do it again, it spewed ink again, and a water dragon struck and smashed it into the bottom of the river, causing a rumbling sound.
The aquatic plants at the bottom of the river grew wildly, completely entangled the giant octopus.
"Giant octopuses are the master of shapeshifting of magical creatures, and they can change color and shape at will to simulate their surroundings and other creatures." Ludo said loudly:
"But it's been spotted, Scamander has caught the octopus, is he going to kill it?"
Of course, Rov didn't kill the octopus, but after catching it, he swam towards the mermaid village while healing its broken tentacles.
With a giant octopus as his vehicle, no magical creature would dare to stop him.
He swam deeper and deeper, and soon there were many rough stone dwellings in all directions, which were stained with algae.
There were more and more stone dwellings, and some of them had gardens around them, and ugly-looking mermaids stood in the gardens, looking curiously at the boys, and whispering to each other.
Rove had been to Mermaid Village before, and he walked through the streets to the village square.
In the center of the square, a large group of merfolk gathered, and some of them were singing in unison, calling the warriors to pass.
After Rove landed on the octopus, he smiled at a tall mermaid and said, "Chief Merkus, long time no see." ”
"Rove, it's good to see you."
The merfolk leader swam over, hugged Rove passionately, and kissed him on the cheek.
This scene made the group of female students watching the game angry, where did they come from to be ugly and dare to take advantage of Rove like this...... Phew, shameless!
Merkus was indeed ugly, with yellow eyes, a large string of shells around her neck, and clothes made of aquatic plants.
She has a slender cyan tail with shiny scales, iron-gray skin on her upper body, and long, unkempt dark green hair...... Even messier than Hermione.
"It's been two years since you last came to see Messira." Merkus looked at Rove carefully and said, "You don't come to the bottom of the lake to see me on weekdays. ”
"I'm busy with my studies." Rove laughed.
"Did your grandfather come to watch the game?" Merkus said, and straightened his hair.
"Nope." Rove shook his head, "He's still in the United States." ”
Merkus was disappointed.
She and Newt are old friends, and according to her, when the two of them were young, they were talented and beautiful, and they were very compatible.
It's a pity that Newt was later expelled from school and left Hogwarts, allowing Tina to take advantage of the situation and pry Newt away.
Of course, Rove had consulted Newt about this statement — in front of Tina.
Newt naturally denied it, and almost said that he didn't know Merkus.
Rove and Murkus exchanged pleasantries for a moment and asked, "Have the other warriors arrived?" ”
"You're the first." Merkus said, "Did you bring a gift?" ”
"Brought it." Rove said, pulling out a handful of ghost grass from his pocket.
In the first item, you need to collect three things: Golden Eggs, Dragon Crystals, and Ghost Grass.
According to the song in the Golden Egg:
Take that gift with you now,
Come to us,
We'll guide you along the way.
And the dragon crystal is used to hatch golden eggs, so the gift can only be the third ghost grass...... It's not possible to guess.
"So, where is the treasure I'm going to take with me?" Rove asked.
He had just looked around, but he didn't see Neville.
"You'll have to go through the merfolk test before you can find the treasure." Merkus said.
"What test?"
"You'll know when you enter that building." Merkus pointed to a dilapidated house in the distance and smiled:
"After you go in, go to the last room, and you will naturally find your lost treasure, go quickly."
