Chapter 658 Ruthless Hals

It was the end of February, and the difficulties that the warriors had to face were far more than just facing the murloc guards. The cold lake water was also consuming their little physical strength all the time.

Realizing this, Harry and Krum swam frantically towards the center of the lake almost as soon as they fell into the water, not daring to waste a moment.

This black lake is very large, and one hour is very tight. What's more, they have to spend some time to find the location of the fishman village.

Ivan, who was left behind, looked relaxed. He had already stepped on the spot in advance and had been here more than a dozen times. He could swim to the place where the hostages were held even with his eyes closed.

But now it was a competition, and with so many spectators watching, Ivan couldn't just cheat, so he waved his magic wand to transform some rocks at the bottom of the lake into swimming fish, pretending to let them explore the path, and waited for about an hour. Minutes before action begins.

However, within a few minutes of swimming, Ivan keenly discovered that something seemed to be following him.

At first, Ivan thought it was the group of mermaids in the lake who were looking for trouble for him, but when he turned around and took a look, he realized something was wrong. They were not mermaids at all, but Beauxbatons' warrior Fleur De Rakul…

Although the Black Lake is very deep, the visibility is not high, and the other party is far away, Ivan can easily guess the identity of the other party based on his body shape.

"Are you planning to follow me through the level?"

Ivan suddenly understood the other party's plan and couldn't help but smile. It's not that easy to take advantage of him!

According to this, seven meters away, Furong was staring at the figure in the distance, swinging her body hard to follow the opponent, neither far nor close, just hanging from a distance.

After watching the scene in the crystal ball on the lakeshore, Fleur was very worried about the safety of her sister Gabrielle, but her eagerness did not destroy her reason.

The Black Lake in Hogwarts was really too big, and she had never been here before. It was impossible to find the mermaid village quickly, and the guards there were not that easy to deal with.

So she came up with a bold idea to follow someone who would definitely be able to complete the game, such as Ivan Hals who shined in the first game and passed the level with full scores!

When she was at Hogwarts, for the purpose of collecting intelligence about her opponent, Fleur asked some Ravenclaw girls about their deeds. Every piece of information she got was extremely shocking, enough to refresh her understanding. Know!

Especially when she heard that the other party had killed a twelve-foot-tall troll when he first entered the first grade, and killed a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor before the end of the semester, she almost thought these people were talking about something. An absurd fairy tale.

But the experience of the first competition made Fleur have to admit that these stories may have really happened, because the opponent did something even more outrageous - defeated a fire dragon head-on!

Because of this, Furong believed that Ivan would definitely be the first warrior to find the location of the Mermaid Village and successfully rescue the hostages, and she only needed to follow behind him to successfully pass the level.

It's very easy and safer...

If there is danger ahead, you don't even need to take action yourself, because the other party will take care of it naturally.

The only thing to note is that the Hogwarts Warrior may attack him. After all, this is a game and they are now each other's opponents!

Fleur held the wand tightly, carefully maintaining a distance where she could react quickly without losing track.

In this way, Ivan would have to waste a lot of time if he wanted to subdue himself.

In today's race against time, wasting time is equivalent to handing victory to other warriors.

So she was betting that the other party would not do anything to her in order to ensure victory!

Even with this thought, Fleur couldn't help but feel nervous when she noticed Ivan stopped and looked at her.

Fortunately, Ivan's next reaction was just as she imagined. He had no intention of taking action. He paused for a few seconds and then moved on.

Furong slowly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed, with a slight smile on her lips and feeling very proud in her heart.

But what made her vaguely feel that something was wrong was that Ivan was heading deeper into the black lake. The surroundings were getting darker and darker, the visibility was slowly decreasing, and the field of vision was reduced to less than ten feet, which forced her to get closer to him. The distance between Ivan so as not to be thrown away.

What made Fleur even more uneasy was that there were some strange sounds coming from the surrounding darkness, and from time to time, something could be seen surging in the darkness.

"Lumos~" Fleur waved her wand gently, and the blue fluorescence spread in all directions, illuminating the ferocious and ugly fish faces and the faintly flickering steel forks in their hands.

It's a mermaid!

Fleur almost couldn't help but exclaimed, because there were too many of them, and she couldn't compete with them alone. She immediately turned her head to look for Ivan - she thought that the only way to find Ivan now was with her. Ivan was able to escape from here only by joining forces.

Unfortunately, when she turned back, she was dumbfounded because Ivan had long disappeared...

"He must have done it on purpose!" Fleur said through gritted teeth. She immediately realized that Ivan had deliberately led her here, and he might have run away long ago.

Ivan's ruthlessness was far beyond her expectation, and he actually left her here alone. Furong cursed a few times secretly, but there was nothing she could do.

After being illuminated by the light, the surrounding murlocs seemed to have been stimulated by something, and they all launched attacks on Furong, throwing countless black shadows over.

"impedmenta~ (obstacles)" Fleur waved her wand and released an obstacle spell. A large number of rocks and corals fell on it and it was quickly broken.

Furong quickly blessed herself with the Illusion Charm, hoping to avoid the mermaid's pursuit, but she obviously underestimated the perception ability of these monsters in the lake water. This magic was easily seen through, and she had no choice but to Fight and flee to deal with these monsters.

At this moment, Ivan was maintaining the Illusion Charm from a distance and watching from the outside. His magic level was much higher than that of Furong, so naturally his whereabouts would not be discovered.

"These mermaids are too cowardly. With so many fish fighting against a wizard, they only dare to throw stones from a distance..." Ivan looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help complaining in his heart.

I don't know if these mermaids are so cowardly out of fear of wizards, or because of the previous instructions given by Dumbledore.

Maybe both...

Ivan shook his head. After realizing that Fleur's life was not in danger, he turned around and plunged into the jungle composed of black water plants ahead. The mermaid village was right in front.
