Chapter 694 Terrible Attack

The lake was up to Ron's knees now, his rapidly numb feet slipping on the sand and smooth, sticky stones, and he chewed the gill grass hard and fast, not feeling well, tough. Tough, creamy, like octopus tentacles.

Then he stopped in waist-deep water, swallowed the gill grass, and waited for the miracle to happen.

Ron heard laughter from the audience and knew he must be looking stupid for walking into the lake without showing any magical powers.

He couldn't help worrying, what if the gill grass doesn't work? !

In the past two months, he has learned many spells that he has not mastered before, such as crushing spells, stun spells, obstacle spells, and so on.

But none of them allowed him to breathe underwater, and he clenched his wand nervously.

Ron's lower body was immersed in the bitterly cold lake water, and a biting wind blew his hair mercilessly.

He trembled violently, goosebumps covered the parts of his body that were not wet.

He deliberately didn't look at the audience, but the laughter got louder, without the Slytherins hissing and jeering...

"That's so stupid..." He looked around helplessly.

Then, quite suddenly, Ron felt as if an invisible pillow was covering his mouth and nose.

As soon as he took a breath, he only felt his head spinning.

Ron's lungs were empty, and there was a sudden sharp pain on both sides of his neck...

Gripping the throat with both hands, he felt two narrow slits below the ears, opening and closing in the cold air.

It's gills, Ron realized!

He hurriedly dived into the water, and subconsciously sucked in the first mouthful of icy lake water, as if he had obtained the oxygen needed for life.

His head stopped spinning, and he took another deep breath of the lake water, feeling the water flow smoothly through his gills, sending oxygen into his brain.

He stretched out his hands in front of him, looking carefully.

They were green and hideous underwater, with webbed fingers. He turned to look at his bare feet, which had grown longer and had webs between the toes, as if his feet had suddenly become webbed.

The water was no longer icy cold. On the contrary, Ron felt very cool and comfortable, and his body became very light...

He was overjoyed for a while, even though he had heard Ivan describe it before, it was really amazing.

Ron continued to paddle forward, and his webbed feet carried him far and fast through the water.

He also found that he seemed to be able to see clearly without blinking at all.

Soon, he swam so far that he could no longer see the bottom of the lake. He turned over and plunged into the depths of the lake.

There is a dark, hazy strange scene in front of my eyes, and there is silence in my ears.

Ron could see for a ten-foot radius now, and with each stroke of the water a new view suddenly emerged from the darkness ahead.

Jungles of undulating, tangles of black waterweed, broad flat sands strewn with shiny pebbles.

The gill grass worked, and Ron was ecstatic for a while. Now he only needs to go to the mermaid village and bring Harry back.

Everything is too simple, as expected, he will be the first warrior to complete the competition.

Ron swam forward for a while, then stopped suddenly, and opened his eyes wide, looking through the gray and treacherous lake water, looking at the dark shadows in the distance, where the lake water was dark and hazy, dark There seems to be something hidden in it.

"Probably a fish!" he thought, gripping his wand tightly, "Could it be a giant squid?!"

Ron didn't dare to move, as if he saw a big guy moving ahead, getting closer...

In the next second, a huge monster emerged from the shadows and appeared in front of Ron. It was a shark!

How could there be sharks in the lake, it's ridiculous!

Terrified, Ron raised his wand before he saw it was Krum.

Below him is a human body in swimming trunks, and above him is a shark's head...

It seemed that he was trying to transform himself, but with little success.

Ron relaxed, put down his wand and swam to the half-man, half-shark Krum to say hello.

Perhaps, they could go to the mermaid village together. The dark surroundings made Ron a little worried.

"Follow me!" Krum made a gesture, and his voice sounded very weird in the water.

Turned out to be a shark can also talk, but the pronunciation seems to be different from normal people, it sounds very strange.

His big head was swinging uncoordinatedly in the water, forming a stark contrast with his body.

To be honest, seeing Krum's funny look made Ron want to laugh a little.

The shark head of the internationally renowned Quidditch Seeker, unfortunately, this picture cannot be photographed...

They swam over a patch of green weeds, two feet deep, like a very lush lawn.

Ron remembered that Ivan said that this is the territory of Grindylow, a water monster with horns on its head.

The attack power of this kind of water monster is not very high. He learned how to deal with them from Professor Lupine last year, but it is different from the ones he encountered in class after all. Ron wanted to remind Krum to be careful and swim well. Be taller, stay away from those aquatic plants, so as not to be plotted by Grindylow.

In front, Krum stopped suddenly, and he turned to look at Ron. The huge shark's mouth was full of fangs and sharp teeth.

"Crucio!" Krum's voice sounded abruptly, and the wand was aimed at Ron.

The next second, before Ron could figure out what was going on, the boiling water column hit him.

Cruel pain rose in Ron's body, and he opened his mouth wide, feeling as if every nerve in him was on fire.

His body was tightly curled up, his limbs were twisted weirdly, swinging meaninglessly.

Because of the severe pain, he wanted to cry out, but he couldn't make a sound, and bubbles kept coming out of his mouth.

"The Unforgivable Curse, why did Krum do this, he..."

But soon, Ron couldn't think anymore, the pain spread and raged in his body, making him lose the ability to think.

Maybe it was a relief to faint, but Ron was sober.

This is exactly the terrifying aspect of the black magic of Cruciatus, which can brutally torture people to the point of insanity.

If you can choose, it is better to die happily than Cruciatus.

Ron's wand fell, fear rose in the shadows, and terrible crimes were happening in the dark.

Krum looked coldly at Ron who was incapacitated, and cast another stun spell.

Ron lost consciousness, fell down, and fell into the dense aquatic plants...

A green Grindylow quickly reached out and grabbed Ron's ankles, pulling him deep into the weeds.

Delicious food, it crunches with excitement.

After a few seconds, the surroundings returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

Krum put down his wand, and his body gradually disappeared into the shadows at the bottom of the lake...
