Chapter 930: Under the water
However, Gabriel, Furong\'s most precious sister, was still at the bottom of the lake, and even if she regretted that she hadn\'t made more preparations, it would be of no avail.
Furong knew that she had to **** Gabriel back from the mermaid.
Enduring the discomfort caused by the icy water, Furong used both hands and feet to swim toward the bottom of the lake desperately.
Before long, a guy whose head turned into a shark quickly surpassed her. It was Krum, and Fleur recognized the other\'s swimming trunks.
Of course, it was also because Harry and Albert wore recognizable clothes.
Harry Potter was also not slow, and he followed Krum to swim deep into the bottom of the lake.
Where!
Keep up with them.
They must know where the mermaid took the hostages.
After all, Krum often goes into the water in cold weather, and he certainly doesn\'t know anything about it.
Furong seemed to grab the last straw and swam desperately in the direction of the two. However, even if she used the strength of breastfeeding to swim, the gap between the two sides was still widening, and in the end Potter and Krum disappeared from sight.
Dumbledore told several temporary referees about the possible problems encountered by the warriors in the second event. Fleur encountered them. The lake was really cold, and her hands and feet were about to lose consciousness. The resistance in the lake was also great. It takes a lot of effort to swim a certain distance. Worse, the deeper the bottom of the lake, the worse the visibility around it, and even the feeling of catching blindness, so that Furong has to often use the wand to illuminate, but the wand on the The light couldn\'t penetrate the darkness at the bottom of the lake, making her suffer.
If it wasn\'t for Gabrielle who was still at the bottom of the lake, Furong might just give up, because she actually knew that the possibility of completing the second project was extremely low.
And Mrs. Maxim repeatedly assured her of Gabriel\'s life.
What\'s more, with the existence of guys like Albert Anderson, the probability of Busbarton wanting to win the Triwizard Championship is almost zero.
She actually really wanted to give up directly.
But when I thought that my sister Gabriel was still waiting for her to save her, but she gave up, how desperate Gabriel should be.
So, Fleur was still gritting her teeth, she slowly swung her arms and swam in the direction where Krum and Harry Potter were leaving.
The cold water and worry about Gabriel completely distracted Furong\'s thinking ability, otherwise she should realize that her direction might be wrong.
Because she didn\'t see Albert, as the guy most likely to win the championship among the four warriors, Albert must have a way to find the hostages, and she only saw Krum and Potter just now, which is obviously a problem.
Fortunately, Furong hadn\'t realized that the direction she was swimming was not the way to the mermaid village at all. Otherwise, after being overwhelmed by despair, she might collapse on the spot.
When Furong was approaching her limit, she suddenly felt something swimming nearby. She stopped and looked around vigilantly. A dark shadow was swimming flexibly towards the distance. Furong was sure that it was definitely a mermaid.
This is actually a deliberate release of water for the Warriors.
The mermaids would haunt the warriors from time to time, to help them stare at the safety of the warriors, and to point the warriors in the right direction of the mermaid village. As for whether they could seize the opportunity, it was up to the warriors themselves.
Furong happily followed. Although the direction the mermaid left was different from the direction she had just swam, she still followed with her hands and feet. As long as she found the mermaid, she would definitely be able to find Gabriel\'s whereabouts.
When Hibiscus tried to cross a lush jungle of aquatic plants, he ran into trouble. A head of Grindillo protruded from the aquatic plants and clasped Hibiscus’s legs tightly with long, powerful fingers, with pointed teeth in his mouth. One bite on her leg, the pain caused Furong\'s dizzy head to wake up immediately. She just used her magic wand to shoot down the Glindillo who attacked her, and a few more Glindillo came out of the water plants and grabbed again. Staying on her legs, she desperately pulled Lotus into the aquatic grass, even wrapped her arms, trying to drown the prey on the bottom of the lake.
Furong\'s strenuous counterattack failed to frighten the group of Grindillo, but instead aroused Grindillo\'s fierceness, and more Grindillo rushed towards Furong, drowning the beautiful warrior.
In a chaotic struggle, Furong accidentally lost her wand and fell into despair. When she was awakened, she was already lying on the shore, and Mrs. Maxim was looking at her worriedly.
"Gabriel!" Fleur struggled to get up from the ground. "A group of Grindillo attacked me."
"Don\'t worry about Furong, there will be nothing wrong with Gabriel, we will not allow the hostages to have an accident. After the game is over, your sister will be sent up, and you need treatment now." Mrs. Maxim reached out and held Furong. He took her to a nearby medical tent to receive treatment from Madam Pomfrey. Fleur\'s appearance was a bit miserable, with scars left by Grindillo on her face and arms.
In the stands, Sirius\'s complexion was not very good. He originally saw Albert easily rescue the hostages and thought the second project was simple, but when he saw Furong was sent ashore after the failure, he realized that the second project was probably It\'s not as simple as he thought.
"How is Harry preparing?" Sirius asked Lupin.
"We haven\'t found a mermaid village for the time being, but everything else has been prepared. It should be no problem." Lupin explained.
"You didn\'t find Albert?"
"That thing Harry said he couldn\'t change it, but even I guess he couldn\'t do it." Lupin couldn\'t help showing a wry smile. It was an exaggeration to change it with a stone.
"Stupid, even if you don\'t, don\'t you know how to use a flying curse? Ask Albert to get one in advance. He will definitely not mind getting one for you. It\'s a big deal to spend a bit of Garon to buy one." Sirius really doesn\'t understand why. If you don\'t ask Albert, there is a ready answer right there. Even if you copy the answer, what\'s the matter, they don\'t compete for the final championship anyway.
"Sometimes, Harry prefers to rely on his own strength to do it."
Lupin was a little helpless, he actually wanted to do that, but Harry obviously wanted to rely on his own ability to complete the task, so he didn\'t go directly to Albert in the end.
"Complete the task with your own strength?" Sirius was silent, he knew that was Harry\'s pride.
But, does Harry really have that ability?
He didn\'t!
Both the clothes and the Warmth Charm were copied from Albert, and even the Bubble Head Charm were reminded of him.
However, Harry seemed to have forgotten.
Sirius could understand why Lupin hadn\'t done that. They were also taking good care of Harry\'s fragile dignity.
Maybe it\'s the same for young people!
Sirius sighed as he recalled what he and James did when they were young.
With Furong\'s exit, she no longer needs to endure the torture of the cold lake, but there are two other warriors still struggling at the bottom of the lake.
The half-human and half-shark form did not bring much advantage to Krum. Although the problem of breathing under the water was successfully solved, swimming was still a big trouble.
In fact, Krum’s situation is not much better than Fleur, but he still has his own advantages. Among the four warriors, Krum has the best resistance to cold, and because he has been trying winter swimming and Diving, Krum’s situation is much better than Fleur’s. He was also guided by the mermaid to change the direction of his progress, but the vision deep in the lake bottom was not good. Krum was still lost. What’s worse, he met him. In big trouble.
The group of Grindillo, who was swept away by Albert, accidentally lurked in the aquatic weeds passing by Krum Road, which caused Krum to encounter a large number of Grindillos as soon as he tried to pass through the aquatic weeds. Assault.
The wizard from Durmstrang School was more than a little bit stronger than Fleur in combat, and immediately fought with the sneak attack Grindyluo.
Had it not been for Harry Potter to stretch out his hand when passing by, maybe Krum\'s game would have ended here.
Even after defeating the annoying group of Grindillo, Krum\'s body was still scarred and looked exceptionally miserable.
"You go first!"
Krum expressed his gratitude to Harry Potter who offered a helping hand, and refused the other\'s kindness, letting Harry go first.
Krum probably gave up.
Although reducing one competitor, Harry was not happy.
Because he was also very depressed from the beginning of the game until now, the trip to the bottom of the lake was not smooth.
Harry is not good at swimming, and just driving on the road consumes a lot of physical energy. The muscles of his hands and feet are screaming and protesting, but he still has to insist on going in a certain direction.
To be honest, Harry really didn\'t dare to get close to the water plants anymore, for fear that he would follow in Krum\'s footsteps, but he heard Hermione mention that the mermaid village was hidden in the aquatic jungle.
While Harry was still heading towards the mermaid village in an unknown direction, he suddenly felt something swimming on the right side, so scared that he stopped quickly and raised his wand to watch around.
The bottom of the lake was very dark and visibility was very low, even if Harry\'s wand gleamed under the water, it was still meaningless.
Yes, it made no sense, Harry was lost again.
In other words, I got lost from the beginning.
But he was still swimming aimlessly, looking for the mermaid villages.
Harry regretted not bringing Hermione\'s kind of flame that would not go out in the water, at least not to worry about the bad light under the water.
Harry, who had not been able to take the branchial grass like that, really experienced the difficulty of the second project. He had to struggle under the lake like other warriors. The only thing that made Harry more gratified was that even if he failed. , The hostages will be fine.
Albert must have a way to accomplish this task easily!
As for Fleur, Harry was very dissatisfied with that girl.
As for Krum, he seems to be seriously injured and might choose to give up.
Harry tried to distract himself with other things, forgetting how long he had been swimming like this. Just when he was almost numb, he felt something swimming around him. This time Harry could see clearly. Something swam by, it was a mermaid, and the celebrity fish looked back at Harry and swam away.
"What does this mean, is it guiding me?"
Harry felt that the mermaid might be leading or misleading himself, but he had no choice. Otherwise, at the bottom of the lake with such poor visibility, he wondered how he would find the mermaid village?
Even when he dived with Lupin the last time, Harry could not find the mermaid village.
Harry swam in the direction where the mermaid was swimming. After some time, he finally heard the unforgettable singing of the mermaid from a large jungle of water plants, but Harry hesitated in front of the water plants because once he entered If the aquatic jungle is ambushed, his situation is definitely not much better than Krum, not to mention that he is almost out of power now.
After hesitating again and again, Harry gritted his teeth and followed the sound to find him. To his surprise, Grindillo did not appear in the aquatic jungle, and the group of Grindillo seemed to disappear collectively.
Looking for the singing of the mermaid, Harry finally found the mermaid village.
The mermaid in front of him was completely different from the mermaid on the painting in the prefect’s bathroom. Their skin was iron gray and dark green hair. The mermaid with spears looked like veteran murderers. He was very worried. The opponent suddenly jumped up and smashed himself into a sieve with a spear.
Seeing that the mermaid didn\'t attack him, Harry couldn\'t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After entering the mermaid village, Harry quickly found the hostages under the mermaid statue. As expected, there were only three people left: Ron, Hermione, and a little silver-haired girl.
"Albert really has completed the task."
Harry stepped forward to check Ron and Hermione\'s situation and was relieved again after discovering that they were only asleep.
He raised his wand and carefully used the Splitting Charm to help Ron break the water weeds tied to his body.
But instead of returning with Ron immediately, Harry stayed and waited for a while, waiting for the arrival of the other warriors.
However, Harry quickly realized a serious problem. His breathing became more and more difficult. The Bubble Head Charm was clearly on the verge of reaching its limit. If it didn\'t rise as quickly as possible, it might really not rise.
Just when Harry hesitated, the scarred Krum finally hurried over. This Durmstrang warrior was obviously tougher than he thought. He still persists, watching Krum save him. Going to Hermione, Harry finally didn\'t need to worry about not being able to leave with the three hostages.
Regardless of the mermaid\'s obstruction, Harry waved his wand to push back the mermaid who tried to stop him from saving people, reached out his hand to hold the little girl, and grabbed the collar of Ron\'s robe, kicked the two of them away from the bottom of the lake.
However, Harry seemed to overestimate his abilities.
He moved so slowly, even though he had been slapping his fins desperately, Ron and Fleur’s sister were like two pockets full of potatoes. dragged him down to the bottom of the lake, and the water above his head was still completely dark. , His head lost the ability to think due to lack of oxygen. It might be the best choice to leave the hostages and float up, but Harry didn\'t do that in the end. He took the two hostages and sank to the bottom of the lake.
The next moment, Harry felt a thrust taking him up, and it was the mermaids who helped him to take him and the two hostages away from the water.
After he surfaced, Harry immediately relieved the soaking curse and took a breath of fresh air. He had never felt the air so beautiful.
Around him, many green-haired unkempt heads emerged from the water with him, and Ron and the little silver-haired girl were also brought up.
He failed.
Harry knew, but he never regretted it.
After arriving at the mermaid village, he actually didn\'t have much energy.
Harry had never thought that the little girl might not be able to surface with him, only that he could not leave the little girl at the bottom of the eerie lake.
