The sword brushed shoulders with him.

There was a "boom", embedded in the earth.

Cedric, who could dodge the sword, half-knelt on the ground, raised his head with difficulty, and in his field of vision, the cracked earth, one by one, dozens of feet of magic puppets crawled out of the ground slowly and terrifyingly.

Each one is imbued with metallic sheen and fluorescent magic.

The solid armor makes one wonder if the spell is useful to throw on it!

At this time, Cedric is facing the biggest test in his life.

Five ancient golems like hills, plus a giant dragon that covers the sky and the sun.

No matter how you look at it, he can't get the golden egg, but—

"I can't give up!"

"I'm the first, everyone is looking at me, I can't surrender, I can't disgrace Hogwarts!"

He struggled inside.

But the more I struggled, the firmer the answer I get.

Yes - he must not surrender.

Even if it's dying on the field.

He has dignity, especially when Hufflepuff has beaten the other three houses to win the House Cup for three years in a row, and the pride of the three years in a row does not allow him to bow his head.

Eventually, he gritted his teeth. The left hand covers the dislocated right hand. Pushing upwards sharply, there was a "click", and the right arm was pushed back into place.

He roared, his gritty expression moving everyone.

"He's a tough guy!" Professor Flitwick praised.

On the podium, the principals also nodded at Cedric's performance.

Few people have such courage.

Most of them will run away in a panic or stay where they are.

"I'm just curious what treasure Professor Sprout gave him!"

Owen stared curiously at the cloth bag around Cedric's waist.

It's definitely full of the professor's treasures.

————

At the scene, Cedric's situation was not optimistic, his left hand was empty, and the mustard in his palm had long since forgotten where he had been shaken by the bump just now.

Without the mustard in the palm of his hand, it means that he must first break through the level of the ancient puppet.

Fortunately, Balk did not fly over, but guarded the golden egg, which is one of the few good news.

No, he really didn't know what to do.

"I still have a chance!" Cedric took the cloth bag from his waist and held it tightly in his hand.

The next moment, the magic golem with the sword in hand had already rushed towards him.

The great sword held high, with the momentum of a mountain, is hideous and terrifying.

"Boom!" The sharpness fell to the ground again.

Cedric ducked with his wand.

The scene was full of smoke and dust again.

obscuring the view of the spectators in the stands.

"Where did he go?" In the stands, the little wizard covered his mouth again and again, this game is too thrilling!

Cedric dances entirely on the tip of the knife.

Every step of the way is on the verge of life and death.

Is this the Triwizard Tournament?

It's hard to imagine how the little wizards used to clear the level.

It's no wonder that it was suspended due to the high death toll.

In the venue, the smoke and dust gradually dissipated.

The only great sword left here in the venue.

And in everyone's sight, Cedric has long since disappeared.

Everyone searched for his location.

Just as the audience was speculating about where Cedric would suddenly appear and attack those magic golems.

Suddenly, there was a palpable tremor under their feet.

Yes, even sitting in the stands, far away from the playing field, they felt a shock coming from under their feet.

Then they saw that in the arena of the game, the earth was like a swamp, constantly bubbling and wriggling.

It was as if something was moving through the ground at a rapid pace.

Not waiting for everyone to guess.

"Bang!" With a bang, a magic golem took the lead in attacking.

It picked up its greatsword and slashed at the ground.

The great sword, made of unknown metal, easily tore through the surface of the rock, as if unraveling flesh, revealing its 'blood vessels'.

It was a hideous, terrifying vessel.

A peristaltic blood vessel.

"Yes—Poison Vine!" Many Hufflepuff wizards recognized the magical plant.

Beneath the earth, the tangled, tangled, twitching, like a thick, dark vine like a python, wriggled wantonly in the earth.

Each one is as thick as a wizard's arm.

It has a dark purple exterior and is covered with barbs shaped like teeth.

This year, Professor Sprout introduced this new species of magical plant that originated in the study of witches in Africa.

Speaking of which, this thing is the same as the devil's net, but the difference is that after artificial grafting and transformation, its vines are more tenacious.

This is because its branches are saturated with poisonous juice.

Its vines are covered with barbs that will instantly pierce the wizard's body if they accidentally fall into the vines, infusing them with a venom that is mixed with various effects such as petrification, paralysis, and blood clotting.

Then step by step, drag the uncontrolled wizard into the ground, or into a dark corner, and let it become nourishment.

But in the same way, the flaw of the devil's web has also been inherited by it, that is, it is very afraid of fire and sunlight.

That's why Cedric was glad that Bakar didn't chase after him, and the dragon was one of the few natural enemies of this plant.

In short, this is a magical plant with obvious shortcomings, but it is extremely dangerous.

Of course, if it were just a few poison ivy, everyone would not be shocked by this, what they were really shocked by was the number of poison ivy.

It's just too much.

Like a balloon that bursts, the ground cracks and bursts with dark purple vines all over the ground.

The viscous liquid, glued to its branches, looks very seeping.

Those barbs and shiny spikes resemble purple monsters that only grow in hell.

The whole audience, everywhere spread this vine.

For a moment, it was as if they were in the vestibule of hell.

"Bang!" It was the sound of stones being crushed by vines.

Suddenly exposed to sunlight, the phototaxis vine went berserk, and it frantically attacked everything above the earth, trying to drag everything into the endless depths of the earth.

"Boom!" The ancient puppet was tall and large, so it was naturally the main target of the vines.

The branches slammed into the massive sword with a crisp sound.

The puppets, of course, are not going to sit still.

They danced wildly with the swords in their hands, and with each swing, countless vines were cut off.

Judging from the sight of the little wizards in the stands, this scene was quite shocking, especially the successive vines that were not afraid of death, and the sword saint who had already been dyed purple waved his long sword tirelessly.

It was as if it had taken place in ancient times, but now it appeared in front of the eyes of the young wizards.

No one will be left with only the sound of exclamation.

"Look! The golems swung their swords slower. ”

"I know!"

There's a Hufflepuff wizard jumping out.

In the Gryffindor stands, Neville explained to Harry and Ron, "Although the venom of the poison vines does not work on the metal golems, the petrification effect contained in those saps still has an effect on them.

Although the effect is not very obvious, there are too many of them. ”

"It's like the machine is jamming." The twins babbled on the side.

"That's right." Neville nodded.

Although they could clearly see that the purple juice had formed a thick layer of 'venom armor' on the golem's body like a scab, and it was still thickening.

This is a big reason why the puppet's body is getting more and more clogged and slow.

Back in the Hufflepuff stands.

Justin opened his eyes excitedly, "What about Cedric?" He'd restrained the golems as long as he could lure Bakar away. ”

"Bakar is not much dumber than a wizard. It won't be lured. Hannah nervously clutched the handrail in the stands, her eyes full of worry, although she hadn't taken care of Bakar for a long time, but she had also come into contact with the dragon, and knew that its intelligence was not much lower than that of Shylock.

It's too hard to get out of the way.

"Wait, look!"

Suddenly, Ernie pointed to something shiny somewhere in the field.

Is that?

"Bubble Pods!" In the Gryffindor stands, Neville said loudly.

"Not only that, but also Poison Ivy!"

The Bubble Pod is a magical plant that grows a chubby pink pod with shiny beans inside. These beans bloom as soon as they come into contact with solid objects.

Bubble pods can be fired at or thrown at living creatures.

The poison tentacle is a prickly green plant. Its vines are movable and will try to catch nearby live prey. The twigs of the venom tentacles secrete venom, and its spikes are also highly venomous. A bite from a venomous tentacle is fatal.

In addition, it is covered with several large-mouthed flowers, and will spray a strong acidic liquid at the living creatures around it.

In an instant, many of these plants sprang up around the entire inner circle.

Dotted beans and acid formed a barrage, smashing indiscriminately towards Bakar.

Of course, whether such an attack would break through the dragon's scales is a question.

But Cedric's purpose was not that.

On the melted pyramid, Bakar hung his head and didn't even open his eyelids.

It memorized its master's words to the letter.

Just stay here and don't go anywhere.

Let the little wizard do whatever the hell he wants.

But it backfired, it wanted to be calm, but the vines that had grown were provocatively hooking its feet.

This made Bakar angry.

You say that you can massage it, why do you still detain the hearts of other people's feet?

What a pervert.

At this time, the little wizard in the stands finally spotted Cedric's figure.

"Oh my God! How did he do it? ”

A Beauxbatons wizard screamed.

"He actually flew in the sky? He drank the flying potion! It's a foul! The little wizard with Durmstrang exclaimed.

In everyone's sight, Cedric hid in the sky, waving his wand in his hand.

A bright green potion fell like raindrops, and any vine contaminated with the potion would suddenly swell a little.

That should be a powerful growth agent.

"Fly?"

The little wizards of Hogwarts also looked up.

Cedric rode a reptile-like animal, with no flesh on its body, its black fur clinging to the skeleton, and every bone was clearly visible.

The head resembles the head of a dragon, and its eyes are white without pupils, staring intently. Wings sprouted from the bulge between the shoulder bones—large, black, tough wings that looked like they belonged to giant bats.

"Thestrals?" The little wizards at Hogwarts certainly knew what kind of magical beast it was.

All of them could see the creature.

All of them

"Oh! That's a Thestrals! In the stands, Mr. Bagman's eyes lit up, "No wonder we didn't find it popping out of there." ”

"Thestrals are known to be a type of Pegasus, and the animal's most famous ability is to become invisible to people who have not seen death. In other words: only those who have witnessed death, and who have fully accepted and understood it, will be able to see Thestrals, as I said from the famous magicalologist Mr. Newt. ”

"Witnessing death? Understanding Death? ”

The little wizards from the other academies in the stands were stunned.

Then he looked around blankly.

Because they could clearly feel that those little wizards at Hogwarts could see this creature, and their raised faces were full of strange looks, and they must have seen something.

They—all of them have witnessed death?

For a moment, the non-Hogwarts wizards looked shocked.

If it's one person or a few sporadic people. They can also understand that after all, the world is impermanent, and perhaps it is the death of a loved one in their family that allows them to see death.

But if the whole school can see it, it will not be surprised, but terrifying!!

What exactly has happened to this British school of witchcraft and wizardry?

At the scene, countless vines and acid-glittering fruits were all attacking Bakar.

Finally, the dragon could not bear it anymore, waved its wings, broke free from the vines that cut its feet, and the hurricane-like force instantly cut off a large area of vines.

Then he opened his mouth, and the dazzling golden flame was like the golden glow of the sun, destroying the magical plants in the inner circle almost instantly.

Cedric in the air was forced to return to the outer ground.

Because the hurricane caused by Bakar was so terrifying that it caused a serious obstacle to Thestrals' flight, it was trembling all over, swaying from side to side, and Cedric was afraid that he would be blown out of the playing field and had to land.

And Bakar, who easily killed all of Cedric's plants, tilted his head and easily re-landed on the ground and lay down.

It's as if everything is back to square one.

On one side is an indestructible ancient dragon, and on the other side is a war puppet more than a dozen feet tall.

Cedric, who returned to the outer circle, let alone reorganized the operation, he couldn't even deal with those puppets, so he could only rely on Thestrals to run for his life and keep dodging.

Little by little, time passed.

In the stands, the young wizards of Hogwarts gradually cooled down.

Because it was clear that Cedric could not possibly finish the race.

He's exhausted!

Another five minutes passed.

Cedric was finally hit by a magic golem, possibly due to a lack of energy, a momentary loss of consciousness, and a major mistake in his positioning.

Although he immediately propped up his wand to defend, the powerful physical impact still caused him to fly upside down with humans and beasts.

"Poof!" He spat out a large mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.

Luckily, Thestrals didn't fly out and hit him just in time, otherwise he would have died here.

"Oh! No!!! The little wizards shouted. But that didn't stop the magic golem from pursuing Cedric straight away.

Defeat is a fact.

As frustrated as they were, they didn't want to see a little wizard die, and it was still their little wizard at Hogwarts.

"Quick! Save him! The Hufflepuffs screamed.

Of course, not waiting for them to shout.

There was one more figure in the arena.

It's Owen.

He suddenly appeared in the field, and then waved his wand, and the ancient magic pulled the electric switch of the puppets, directly cutting off the power to them, and in an instant, the puppets stood motionless as if they were petrified!

"I announce! At the end of the match, the Warrior from Hogwarts, Cedric, successfully challenged !! ”

"Huh?"

I like a quote from the little wizards: "Huh? ”

"Has Hogwarts been so shameless now?"

"That's more than a race! Declare you champions! ”

"It is recommended to directly copy hundreds of championship cups, and you will have one of them!"

"The Void has won, right?"

In an instant, the shouts and curses from the little wizards from the other three schools came and went.

The young wizard of Hogwarts also looked at Owen in confusion, completely unable to understand why he would directly declare Cedric the winner.

"Shut up !!"

Bless Owen, who had a loud voice, and shouted.

The wizard of the three schools who was directly frightened was silent.

"Can you blame others for being blind?"

His words fell, and on the referee panel, all the referees also stood up in unison, and Mr. Bagman said enthusiastically, "Genius ideas, perfect tactics, and the application of magical plants and magical beasts have reached their peak!" A Hufflepuff student!

I declare, Cedric wins!! ”

As his words fell, the little wizards noticed.

In the field, Cedric, half-dead, was lying on the ground, and there was a small thing in his arms, agitating.

It's a sniffing !!

The little one, dressed in black fluff and with a long snout, was waving a pair of small hands to prevent Cedric from reaching into the pocket it was in on its stomach.

Its struggles didn't last long, though.

Soon, Cedric struck and poked his finger into its pocket.

With a flick of the hook, the golden glittering golden egg fell out.

It's not easy to catch it.

Cedric smiled.

He held the golden egg high, and although the blood stains on the corners of his mouth were unusually conspicuous, it could not hide the excitement on his face.

Of course, he didn't make a mistake in position, but was hit by a puppet.

There's no way, this little guy is too hard to catch.

There was only one plan, and he had to take it all-in.

Call~~~

He lay on the ground and gradually relaxed.

Fortunately, he prepared the second battle plan.

Originally, he felt that he could definitely win easily with his hand in his hand, after all, he was just dealing with an ordinary fire dragon.

And now—he's glad he had the foresight to have changed the two options.

"Whew!" He took a deep breath.

Anyway, he won, and it was tough, but he won!!
