Chapter 338: Underwater War
Fleur went around a little farther but not far from "Baby", and she heard the song and found her way back.
The place where the "baby" is located appears in the eyes of everyone, it is a village of underwater creatures.
The creatures in the village resemble the legendary mermaids, with the upper body of a human and the lower half of a fish. But unlike mermaids, they don't have beautiful faces, but a fish-like face.
Large eyes with no eyelids, a flat mouth, and no nose visible. There is no hair, and instead it has tentacles that resemble octopus. It's not so much a mermaid as a fish-man.
The village is primitive, the houses are not planned, and there are no signs of magic. There was a Grindy Low leashed to the door of every house.
There were seven people in the middle of the village, their eyes closed, floating in the air, with ropes made of seaweed on their feet, as if they would float away without them. There were a few fishmen guarding around with weapons, and when they saw the warrior, they opened their large spiked mouths as if they were laughing.
Neville looked around for a while, but couldn't find where the singing came from.
Seeing the "baby", everyone understood. It's not the dead that are valuable, it's the people around you. Except for Harry, everyone else knows who their "baby" is.
Harry was confused, he didn't know who to save, he knew most of the seven people.
Cedric emerged from a tricky direction. Without any hesitation, a spell broke Cho Zhang's rope. The man also quickly jumped up, grabbed Qiu Zhang, who was not yet conscious, and quickly swam towards the water.
His movements were like the sound of a race starting pistol, and the other warriors didn't care about each other and quickly pounced on the "babies".
At the forefront was Krum, who was not as fast as Krum, despite receiving a potion bonus.
Seamus, who was behind, didn't think about it, and raised his wand at Krum was a curse, which made the Durmstrang students in the stands scold.
Seamus's attack didn't work, and even if he hit, he didn't think he could knock out Krum, Moody said that the same spell had different effects on different people, and even if it was used by the same person, it would have different effects on different people.
Krum is an elite, and the Goblet of Fire thinks he is better than the rest of Durmstrang's students, perhaps better than normal adult wizards.
The spell didn't move as fast in the water as it did on land, and Krum dodged it easily. But that's enough, and all Seamus wants is for Krum to dodge so that he is overtaken by Fleur.
Krum also drew his wand, and instead of fighting back at Seamus, he made a move on Fleur. Krum kept his sanity and understood that this was a game, there was no point in doing something to those behind him, and only by eliminating those in front could he get a good position.
Cedric's number one was no longer able to stop it. But he didn't want to lose his second place, so he chanted a spell, and a powerful spell hit Fleur.
Harry and Neville didn't think about making a move, they were still sprinting towards "Baby". Krum's spell stopped them, and Fleur had just helped them, and when they saw her attacked, the two of them were furious, and they both drew their wands and aimed them at Krum.
Just then, a spell flew past Harry's body. If he hadn't stopped, the spell would have hit Harry.
Harry turned around and saw Malfoy behind him, very annoyed, he had been calculating the spell for a long time, and he almost missed.
Now that Harry has discovered him, the level of the two is between the two, and there is no way to take Harry in a short time without a sneak attack.
Neville's wand was aimed at Krum, chanting a spell in his mouth. However, he didn't learn very well, and the spell was not always effective, and he was not used to the water, so the spell failed.
It was only when he saw the distant spell that he realized that something was wrong, and someone behind him attacked Harry. He turned around and saw Malfoy, hiding in the weeds, waving his wand and chanting a spell in his mouth. Luckily, the spell worked, and it shot out of its wand and headed straight for Malfoy.
Malfoy didn't move after the attack, on the one hand, there was seagrass all around, which covered his body well, and he was not so easy to be hit. On the other hand, this place is close to the bottom of the lake, and it is easy to raise the sediment and cause the lake to be turbid. Murky lake
The water would obscure his vision, preventing him from seeing Harry and Neville's spells, and of course, his body so they wouldn't know where he was.
The bottom of the water was clear, and he could see Harry and Neville's spells. There are many ways to deal with it. Neville's spell wasn't fast, and Malfoy chose to dodge it.
When Harry saw Malfoy move, he immediately attacked, and the spell shot out in the direction of Malfoy's movement.
Normally, it's not that easy to start or stop moving in the water, but Malfoy is different, his magic items allow him to move as fast in the water as he does on land, and he can choose to stop and avoid Harry's spell. However, the sudden stop will inevitably raise a large amount of sediment and muddy the lake, which will be unfavorable to him.
Malfoy curled the corners of his mouth and raised his wand to Harry's spell, counteracting it.
On the other side, Fleur didn't get hit by Krum's spell, and she was faster than Krum thought. The spell passed by, and Fleur stopped, spotting a scuffle of several people behind her.
Krum quickly unleashed a second spell. Fleur stayed where she was, just enough to dodge. Seamus attacks Krum and rushes towards "Baby", regardless of Harry and Neville, who are fighting Malfoy. The second goal is to save people, not to defeat opponents.
Krum ignores Seamus and is hell-bent on eliminating Fleur. While observing Seamus, he saw a small battlefield of Harry, Neville, and Malfoy. Dealing with three little wizards working together may also overturn, and there is only one Seamus, who is not afraid at all and ignores Seamus's spell.
Fleur didn't leave to fight back. She was waiting, waiting for Krum to be close enough to her. The newly acquired lightning ability has not yet been revealed, and it can make Krum suffer a big loss. As for Seamus, who is closer to Krum, he can only be considered unlucky, after all, they are competitors, not teammates.
Harry gave up after missing Malfoy a few times, and was even more anxious about being treated as a "baby" friend. Reaching out and grabbing Neville's wand-wielding arm, motioning for him to look at the merfolk village.
Neville looked at "Baby" and then at Malfoy, choosing to turn and swim towards "Baby". A few successive spell mutes made him understand that he couldn't defeat Malfoy, and it was better to save people first.
Harry saw Neville turn and leave, and his heart became even more anxious. Neville could ignore Malfoy, he couldn't. Between him and Neville, Malfoy definitely chose to attack him, and Malfoy is the furthest away from "Baby", whether he can save people or not, Malfoy is the last one, and every time he eliminates someone, he will take a step forward in the rankings, and he must be guarded.
