Chapter 291: Phantom
A week later, in the audience, Tifa and Luna sat next to the Knicks, with Neville's armor next to them. During the week, the crowd did not find any way to deal with the dragon.
Dumbledore explains the rules in the opening scene.
The Knicks noticed Rita Skeeter coming out of the tent in a state of embarrassment, a portion of her delicate hair emitting black smoke.
His face was blackened and his eyes were shattered. Yelling at the tent.
I couldn't hear what she was saying, but I could guess that she was scolding or cursing the people inside.
Tifa hugged Luna and screamed excitedly.
A dragon appeared in the arena, with a huge system, black scales covering the well-defined muscles, showing its great strength, and the Knicks looked at it with greed.
"Brother, what kind of dragon is that?"
"I don't know, I've only been reading books about dragons for a week, and I haven't memorized the characteristics of different dragons." Nix replied.
There is an iron chain around the dragon's neck, the end is nailed to the ground, and under the body is a dragon egg of six colors, and the most dazzling is a golden egg, which is the egg that the contestant will take.
The first to come out was Cedric Diggory.
He was very nervous, and when he came out to see the dragon, his face was even paler, he didn't expect the opponent to be so big.
The dragon was frantic and tried to break free from the chains around his neck.
Cedric wandered for a while and came up with a way, he turned a rock into a dog.
He controlled the dog to slip around in front of the dragon, and the dragon's attention was attracted and raised its claws to chase after it.
Cedric took the opportunity to approach the dragon egg and got the golden egg without any problems, but something went wrong when leaving.
The dragon apparently realized that someone had stolen the egg, and it turned around and roared and breathed fire. Cedric knew something was wrong when he heard the dragon's roar, and quickly flashed behind a rock.
When the flames stopped, Cedric ran out with the golden egg, but his direction was not the exit, but the right side of the dragon.
The audience couldn't understand why Cedric didn't run to the exit, but to that way.
The dragon caught up with Cedric's side and was a mouthful.
The people in the audience exclaimed, and then found that there were only flying rocks under the dragon's mouth, and there was no blur of flesh and blood as everyone imagined.
While people were puzzled, another figure appeared at the place where Cedric was hiding, and it was realized that Cedric had been hiding behind the rocks and had not moved at all.
The new Cedric is still an apparition, running to the other side.
The dragon didn't bite anyone, and he was a little puzzled, and when he found the second phantom, he didn't think much about chasing it.
After catching up with the phantom, he bit it again.
Cedric unleashes a third phantom as the dragon pursues the second apparition, in the direction behind the dragon.
After the second apparition was bitten, the dragon was a little confused, but the third apparition caught his attention.
Tifa asked the Knicks, "Brother, what is Cedric doing?" Why don't you run."
"Now the dragon is too close to him to run, so he has to wait until the dragon is farther away."
The third phantom was a little far away from the dragon, and instead of immediately pursuing it, it spewed out a breath of flames. But the phantom didn't disappear and continued to run.
The dragon thought that the flames were ineffective against Cedric and chased after him.
Immediately after the dragon passed by Seid, he unleashed another apparition, this time in the opposite direction to the exit.
The audience also understood that Cedric wanted to pull the dragon away from the exit.
The dragon bit the phantom and found that something was wrong, the prey disappeared, and as soon as it turned around, it saw another phantom, hesitated, saw the golden egg in Cedric's hand, and chased after it.
Cedric got up to observe, and the moment the phantom was bitten apart, he turned and ran.
It's not that he doesn't want to set off early, he is afraid that he will be discovered by the dragon if he sets off early, so if he doesn't chase the phantom and turns around to chase him, then he will really die in the dragon's mouth.
At least the dragon is now guaranteed to be the farthest away from him.
The dragon bites the phantom and realizes that it is not real, and lets out a roar of rage, and it realizes that it has been deceived.
Turning his head, another person was running, his nostrils were agitated, and he smelled a hint of it. Sure it was a real person, he chased after it again.
In the stands, Tifa watched the man and the dragon get closer and closer, and wondered, "Why doesn't it breathe fire?"
Nicks replied, "Because it's useless to breathe fire."
"Useless? Cedric isn't immune to fire, is he?"
"Of course. You think, the dragon spewed fire a few times, but it didn't hurt Cedric, so it didn't think it was useful to breathe fire, and it would make its prey run farther."
The dragon is much faster than Cedric, and Cedric keeps splitting phantoms as he runs, trying to confuse the dragon, as long as the dragon chooses to chase the phantom, he is safe.
But the dragon had already figured out the problem, the real Cedric smelled, the phantom did not, it could tell which was the real one, and chased Cedric closely.
After catching up, I want to go down.
Cedric was lucky enough to stop when the dragon's mouth was biting him.
The chain that tied the dragon collapsed straight, and Cedric had run out of the dragon's range of motion.
After several attempts and unable to break free of the chain, the dragon erupted in anger at Cedric.
Cedric dodged in confusion, but his robe was still burned, and he quickly took off his robe and tossed it aside, and ran quickly to the exit.
The dragon was stunned for a moment when he found out that Cedric had been burned, and then increased his efforts to breathe fire.
Fortunately, Cedric had already run to the exit and completed the task.
Madam Pomfrey examined Cedric closely, and there was nothing wrong with it, except for a few burns.
On stage, Dumbledore announced, "Congratulations to Hogwarts player Cedric Diggory for using his ingenuity to complete his first project."
There were deafening cheers at the scene, and Cedric's performance made the blood boil. The thrill is even more exciting, especially the escape from the dragon's mouth at the end, which is too exciting.
Tifa cheered along, "Cedric, Cedric."
Several adult wizards appear, calm the dragon's anger, and replace it.
When the cheers subsided, Dumbledore announced the next contestant, Seamus Finigan.
Tifa worried, "Brother. Did Seamus think about what to do with the dragon?"
"I don't know." Nix replied.
"His transfiguration skills aren't as good as Cedric's, and he can't attract dragons with dogs."
"I don't know how his Transfiguration is, he doesn't go to the library much, and I don't know if he's learned to turn rocks into dogs." Nix replied.
Different Transfiguration techniques have different spells, and Nyx found that he had problems with Transfiguration, so he studied Transfiguration, and in addition to going to the library to find spells, he often consulted Professor McGonagall for advice, and the results were also very gratifying. He can use stone and wood everywhere to conjure up the usual potions tools. As for turning those stones and wood into a living dog, he couldn't do it.
The new dragon was brought into the ground, and it only needed to be smaller than what Cedric had just dealt with, and it was red like a blazing fire.
