Chapter 37 The Continuing Game
Back at the beginning of the game, after Brian walked into the lake, a burst of exclamations broke out in the audience. Obviously, Brian's method seemed handsome to them.
Harry took a look with some envy, stuffed the gill-clad grass that was about to break in his hand into his mouth, and then walked into the lake with water. Soon, two narrow gaps grew under his ears, which were gills, and webs also grew between his fingers and toes.
Although he didn't look very good, he felt that the water was no longer cold and harsh, and became friendly and cool. He got into the water and paddled towards the bottom of the lake.
He saw Brian in front of him, the big bubble was very conspicuous under the water. Harry thought for a while, and as the bubble sank, he gradually saw the aquatic plants and stones at the bottom of the lake.
The Warriors of Demstrong dispersed very early. They had good water quality and were not afraid of the cold. They swam away flexibly and quickly like swimming fish, making others unable to catch up.
Cedric was not far away, and he recited the bubble spell to himself. A large round bubble was placed on his head, shaking with the waves, stretching and widening his facial features like a haha mirror.
But the three female warriors of Boothbaton followed behind them. Harry could see Furong's long glittering silver-white hair. They swam quickly towards the center of the lake, and were also determining their location.
They avoided the entangled water plants, and Brian's bubbles were no longer visible. Finally, Harry saw the conspicuous stone forest, compared it with the map he had memorized in his mind, and knew where he was going.
Cedric waved at him from a distance and swam towards his destination. Harry took a deep breath in the water and headed in the opposite direction.
The aquatic plants that always want to entangle him are difficult to deal with, and Harry had to circumvent them from afar, which was a waste of time. Fortunately, not all aquatic plants are aggressive, but he also has to be alert to Grindilo hiding in the aquatic plants.
Furong followed him not far or near, with a big bubble on her head. As Harry looked over, she showed a graceful and worried smile.
"Strength is loose and relieved!"
When Ha used his wand to release a spell and broke his ankle from one Grindello's claw, he found that his other foot had been entangled by aquatic plants before he knew it.
More aquatic plants wrapped around him and surrounded him. While Harry desperately wanted to untie the wet and flexible aquatic plants on his ankles, he fired a barrier spell at the surrounding aquatic plants.
Several Grindilo drilled out of the aquatic plants, and his pointed claws grabbed his robe and wrists, and pulled him down desperately. One of them wanted to grab his wand, but the aquatic plants also wrapped them up.
Harry felt cold and felt like he was going to mess up. He was rushing to put a spell around but failed to hit anything.
"Sure enough, am I still dragging my feet?" He felt disappointed and unwilling, "But what if I fail, what will Ron do?"
Thinking of Ron, he struggled desperately, and the surrounding lake water became turbid, and Harry became more and more desperate. Perhaps he would lose his life here, and Ron would die, so how sad Mrs. Weasley would be.
Several spells hit the water grass around him like boiling water columns. They were torn apart, allowing Harry to slightly free his hands and feet.
Furong was pointing at Grindillo, who was holding his wrist. Harry didn't know why she wanted to help him, but Furong was now like a fairy shining with the light of hope in his eyes.
The spell splashed out from the tip of Hibiscus's wand and hit the Grindillo hard. The Grindillo shook his head, and his sharp claws scratched Harry's wrist.
"Let's release the strength!" Harry quickly used a spell to deal with several Grindellos, letting them go, and kicked a guy who wanted to sneak attack him in the water plants.
Harry and Furong looked at each other, and Furong smiled at him again.
"Thank you," Harry said, but there was no sound. A big bubble popped out of his mouth, looking a little funny.
Furong saw his mouth shape and shook her head and said, "Go and save people quickly. We only have an hour." Her voice came out of the bubbles, which seemed very ethereal in the lake. Obviously, she was also very anxious.
Harry nodded, and the two began to swim forward together, helping each other, and finally arrived at the Mermaid Village.
They had a few conversations on the way, and Harry then realized why Furong was following her. Her golden egg lost its function and could not show her the route.
Furong once tried to get information from Berisha, but unfortunately the guy didn't let it go at all. She just confirmed that the three locations of each team were consistent, so she decided to follow a warrior from another team.
When talking about Berisha Beasley, Furong seemed to grit her teeth, obviously hating that guy.
"Okay..." Harry understood very well, and felt a little disappointed in his heart. It turned out that she just wanted him to lead the way and helped...
Harry shook his head, thinking to himself what he was thinking about? He only likes Qiu Zhang... No, he shouldn't like her anymore, she already has Cedric. Thinking of this, his mood became depressed again.
In the mermaid village, a group of mermaids watched them. A sinister mermaid threw out a big net and put the hibiscus that could not dodge inside. Harry avoided another big net and took some time to rescue the hibiscus. Finally, he came to the square in the village without any danger.
There were only two hostages left here, Ron and a seven or eight-year-old silver-haired girl, who seemed to be asleep. There was only broken rope left on the other side, and it was obvious that the third person had been rescued.
"Gabri!" Furong hurriedly swam over and broke the rope on the little girl's body with several spells. She gently patted Gabrie's cheek, hugging her body and almost shed tears.
Harry finally found a sharp stone and cut off the rope on Ron's body. He grabbed the collar of Ron's robe, looked at Furong, and kicked his legs and began to swim upwards.
The two of them returned along the way, and Harry saw the big bubble of Brian again. Brian sat leisurely inside and waved to them.
Looking at Brian's leisurely and contentment, Harry felt a little sour inexplicably. Ron was like a big pocket full of potatoes, dragging him down. His legs were stiff and his shoulders were so painful.
Brian shook his head. He had just gone to the Mermaid Village and realized that he and Harry had missed it. He finally caught up with him.
He pointed at Ron and Gabriel with his wand, and Harry and Furong felt that their bodies became lighter in an instant.
They accelerated their speed and swam towards the shore, and finally, they floated to the surface.
"Oh, here we come, Harry Potter, and Fleur Delacule, they rescued their hostages! Let's cheer for them!" Bagman said loudly, "The two Warriors showed amazing spirit of unity and mutual assistance along the way, which is simply incredible. Of course, I think this is also the original intention of the Trio Championship! Strengthen communication!"
"At this point, the three Hogwarts warriors have achieved their goals!" Bagman announced happily, "It only took forty-three minutes!"
The audience was in full swing, and all the Hogwarts students were applauding, stomping their feet, screaming loudly.
Several referees pulled them to the shore in a row, and Mrs. Pomfrey said, "You all come here" while tied them tightly with a blanket.
"Here! Good job, Harry, Brian!" Hermione was waving to them in a blanket. Harry was fed a fiery red potion by Mrs. Pomfrey, and the white heat was emitting in his ears.
Brian smiled, waved his hand at Hermione, walked up the shore, and sat down next to Daphne. Daphne had taken off the blanket, her cheeks flushed, and clapped her hands at Brian and the others.
"Beautiful job!" Cedric gave a thumbs up and showed a bright smile. Qiu Zhang, who was leaning against his shoulder, also smiled at them.
On the other side, Krum was circling anxiously on the shore, and Teria and Brees were talking and laughing. But their team's Berisha had not come up yet.
Only Fleur is back for Busbaton, and there is no news for the other two Warriors.
Krum finally jumped into the lake, and Tereya was also looking for their teammates.
After trimming it for a while, Furong jumped into the lake again.
Brian and the other two are now free, and they can wait for the game to end leisurely.
From time to time, mermaids floated ashore and reported to them about the progress of the game. Bagman explained hard, his face red with excitement.
