Chapter 175 Demonic Dragon Tentacles
When Xie Ling's feet touched the cold lake water for the first time, his skin had already changed significantly.
Every inch of his exposed skin turned into a magnificent and fantastic jade-like color, with a crystal-clear luster. His hair turned red, like water grass, dancing in the air with some strange rules.
His tight robe also began to look a little different. The cuffs of his hands and feet and the collar around his neck were no longer loose, but tightly attached to his wrists, ankles and neck. Rather than saying that this was a robe worn on his body, it was better to say that the skin covered by Xie Ling turned into the color of the robe, that is, the skin and the robe merged into one.
The pattern on the black robe also became a bit similar to the scales on the body of the magic dragon, thin and dense, and finer than the dragon scales of the giant dragon.

From the perspective of the audience in the distance, Xie Lin now looks a bit like a mutated mermaid, the only difference is that he still has human feet.
However, the referees and rescue teams who were close at hand could clearly see that Xie Lin's temples were slightly bulging, as if he had grown a short red horn about an inch and a half long. On the fingers exposed to the air, nails that looked like red crystals and were very hard also grew.
How could this be a mermaid!
This is clearly a dragon man!
Any wizard who has studied the history of ancient magic knows that the first human wizard who inherited the "power of the dragon" in ancient times turned into this half-dragon, half-human appearance!
Xie Lin dived into the water. In this dragon man state, he could not only breathe underwater, but also control the water flow through his affinity with the water element, making him feel like a fish in water and walking on flat ground in the water, turning the water flow from resistance to assistance. In this state, he is the king of the water!
In addition, he also has the perception of the magic dragon in the water. Any creature swimming close to him can be sensed by him in advance. It can be said that no one can sneak attack him in the water.
"Interesting..." Xie Lin narrowed his eyes slightly.
He just avoided the giant squid with his superb perception, but was attacked by a group of Grindylows.
This is very abnormal.
Don't think that Grindylows are dark creatures, so they will attack any creature that appears in the water without thinking. Grindylows belong to the bottom of the food chain of underwater magical creatures. They have long relied on the power of living in groups and the character of bullying the weak and fearing the strong to maintain the survival of the tribe.
The breath of the magic dragon displayed by Xie Lin may not be obvious in the eyes of human wizards, but in the eyes of such low-end creatures, it is no different from a mouse seeing a cat. It would be strange if it didn't run away quickly. How could it rush up and attack actively?
The transformation secret of the Kanegas Magus-Tentacle Technique!
While thinking, Xie Lin used the ten thick dark black tentacles that suddenly grew wildly behind him to whip the Grindylo one by one!
The tentacles behind Xie Lin were strong and powerful. Just a casual pull could make a Grindylo's brain burst. The ten tentacles waved wildly, and it took less than a minute to wipe out the existence of the entire Grindylo tribe.
The elimination of Grindylo did not bring Xie Lin long-term peace. Then, soft-clawed land shrimps, Loba worms, fire crabs, Kaba and other creatures at the bottom of the black lake appeared one by one, rushing towards Xie Lin frantically, and took the initiative to attack without fear of death.
Some of these creatures were natives of the bottom of the black lake, and some were foreign creatures that were specially placed at the bottom of the lake for the competition. They were originally set in the path that the warriors might pass through to create trouble for the warriors. What was really wrong was that he felt malice and targeting from these creatures, as if these creatures were simply coming for him.
If it were any other warrior, even Cedric, Fleur, Krum and the like in the original book, they would definitely not end up well if they were besieged by such a large number of underwater creatures. However, in the eyes of Sherin, Katalin and the like, and perhaps with the addition of Eleanor, these weak creatures would not be enough even if they doubled in number.
"If that's the case..." Sherin thought to himself, with a shrewd look in his eyes, "The role of these cannon fodder is to delay my time..."
"Do you want to get ahead of me, set traps, and make arrangements? Interesting..." There was no fear in Sherin's eyes, only eagerness to try, and a looming coldness, "What will your arrangements be? It's really exciting!"
Sherin didn't waste any more time. Since he entered the bottom of the lake, his extraordinary perception in the water has helped him hear the mermaids' singing, and by tracing the size and route of the singing, he deduced the location of the mermaid tribe.
The mermaid was not too close to him, and it could even be said that he was quite far away. It seemed that he had been diverted by the attacks of the Grindylows and other creatures and deviated from his original route.
He swam quickly towards the source of the singing like a nimble dragon. Coincidentally, he met Harry on the way.
Harry looked at Sherin with a wary look on his face, but Sherin waved his hand to indicate that he had no ill intentions, and even swam aside to distance himself from Harry. This made Harry feel a little relieved.
The two swam in pursuit of the mermaid's song for a long time. Finally, a large rock appeared in the turbid lake water ahead, with many mermaids painted on it. They were holding spears and chasing what looked like giant squids. Sherrin and Harry continued to swim past the rocks to the mermaid's song.
Suddenly, many rough stone dwellings appeared all around, speckled with algae. There were faces peeking out of those darkened windows. The mermaid's skin is iron-gray, and her dark green hair is long and unkempt. Their eyes are yellow, their incomplete teeth are also yellow, and they wear pebbles strung with thick ropes around their necks.
Seeing Sherrin and Harry, they seemed a little scared and hid in the stone shack.
The two swam forward quickly, looking around. Soon, there were more and more stone dwellings, some of which were surrounded by gardens. But this place is like a dead city under the sea, with no breath of life at all. Along the way, as long as you look carefully through the window of the stone dwelling, you will see that it is almost empty. Except for the outermost stone dwelling at the beginning, there is almost no living life!
Harry, unaware, swam forward.
Xie Lin's expression became serious, and he began to slow down and fell behind Harry.
Finally, the two came to a place that seemed to be the square of a small mermaid village. In the center of the square stood a crude statue: a giant mermaid carved from boulder. And on the tail of the mermaid stone statue, Daphne, a Beauxbatons female student, Ron and Polyarco were tightly tied. All four of them seemed to be sleeping deeply, their heads hanging limply on their shoulders, and a string of thin blisters popping out of their mouths.
There were eight muscular male mermaids floating around the square, each holding a wooden spear in their hand.
Harry and Sherrin looked at each other.
Xie Lin raised his hand and signaled that these mermaids didn't seem to have any ill intentions. Since Harry arrived before him, let Harry go first. Harry hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but think of Hagrid's expectant face, and his desire for victory ignited in his heart. He gritted his teeth and swam towards the hostages.
Sure enough, just like the description in the original work, the mermaids did not stop him in any way. Harry found a particularly sharp rock near the rock pile, cut the rope that bound Ron, and then glanced at Sherrin.
Schelling made a good-luck gesture.
Harry nodded to him and pulled Ron towards the water.
The most burly and majestic of the eight mermaids seemed to be the leader of the mermaids. His body was seven feet long, and he wore a short necklace made of shark teeth around his neck. He swam towards Xie Lin, stretched out his hand and waved back. The gesture of invitation, the hoarse and low voice said: "You can go rescue your hostages. Remember, you can only take away your own hostages..."
The corners of Xie Lin's lips curled up and he smiled.
Although there was no smile in his eyes, only coldness was reflected in his pupils.
He opened his mouth, and a big silver bubble emerged from his lips silently, "Are you all ready?"
"Can you let me complain first, your acting skills are really bad——"
"Miss Catalina Monroe."
