Chapter 695: Hostages and Struggles

Krum, who was leaving, didn't notice that a milky white thing was flying over the water grass.

In the muddy lake water, he was looking for the other two warriors.

Then, he knew!

Furong looked in the wrong direction and was swimming in the opposite direction of the mermaid village, so you can ignore her; Cedric has already passed this piece of aquatic plants...

He was advancing very fast, and just missed Krum just now.

Cedric will arrive at the mermaid village soon, maybe he can take the Ravenclaw girl and leave first.

This does not affect the plan. Cedric is very strong, and it is not as easy to deal with him as it is to deal with Ron.

................................................... ...................................

Back to three hours ago, Ivan, Harry, Qiu and Polyak were tied to the tail of the mermaid stone statue.

They all seemed to be in a deep sleep, their heads limply shrugged on their shoulders, and a string of thin blisters kept coming out of their mouths.

Ivan is between Qiu and Harry, and he still looks like Gabriel, with clouds of silver floating in the icy water of the lake.

The next second, he suddenly opened his eyes.

Dumbledore fiddled with the magic he cast, but the magic wasn't that strong, and he woke up early.

But Aiwen can still breathe in the water, as if eating gill grass.

This is a difficult compound magic, which made Ivan have to admire Dumbledore's spellcasting ability.

The wand hidden in the sleeve slipped to the hand, and the rope loosened automatically.

He moved his body a bit and looked around. Harry and Cho were still asleep.

There was no sound around, and the mermaids were a little lazy, and didn't look over to guard the four of them.

Not even a shadow can be seen in the small square. They should be huddled in the rough stone dwelling.

Aiwen didn't move too much. After taking a big gulp of compound soup, he tied himself back again.

Counting the time, the game is about to start. Moody's magic eye can penetrate the lake water, so he cannot be found abnormal.

However, Ivan tied himself and Harry together this time. He enchanted the black rope made of aquatic plants. It was thick and slippery, very strong, and it was difficult to untie or break it, so that Harry would not be able to escape. Get away from yourself.

Aiwen counted the time, and every hour, he swallowed a mouthful of compound decoction in his mouth to maintain his transformation.

I don't know when it started, the mermaids emerged from all directions, looking at the four of them curiously, and the unforgettable singing began to appear around them. It wasn't the kind of sacrificial song that Aiwen had heard before, and the tune was more Be cheerful.

"Only an hour to find and recover what we took..."

"Don't delay any longer, half the time is over, or you'll lose it forever..."

This is the song inside the golden egg, and the mermaids are guiding the warriors to rescue their most important people.

Aiwen opened his eyes quietly, and saw two burly mermaids holding spears in the dark lake water, guarding around them.

Not far away, many mermaids formed a circle, they were singing and dancing, and it was very lively.

The mermaids were all dressed up, and there was a female mermaid with a lot of pebbles strung together on a thick rope around her neck, leading a little green lody, with an alvin sticking out of her dark green, long, unkempt head. Last time I sold them decorations.

Most of the mermaids are dressed like this, and the most valuable ornaments on their bodies are those that Ivan brought before.

It's a pretty good picture if you ignore their iron-gray skin, yellow eyes, and missing yellow teeth.

But now, it looks more like a group of demons having a carnival.

More than 30 minutes have passed, and the warriors have not been seen. What are they dawdling about? !

Just when Ivan swallowed the last mouthful of compound soup, the figure of Cedric Diggory finally appeared on the edge of the mermaid village.

There is a huge air bubble around his head, which makes his features look comically elongated and widened.

Cedric fell, splashing a large amount of black mud, and the lake water turned into black eddies because of his stirring.

He looked around blankly, staring at the merfolk in surprise.

Then, he saw the four hostages tied to the tail of the statue, Qiu Zhang leaned his head on the shoulder of the little girl with the silver head, she looked fine, but the girl from Beauxbatons was blue and seemed lifeless .

She is Furong's younger sister, and she seems to be staying with Aiwen and the others all the time.

Cedric also saw Harry on Gabriel's other side, also asleep.

"Get away with your own hostages!" a mermaid swam up to him with a malicious smile on his face.

Cedric hesitated, and drew a pocket knife from his pocket.

He swam to cut the rope, rescued Qiu Zhang, and pulled Qiu upstream.

But soon, he stopped, a little worried.

It was so weird that he didn't see the other three warriors along the way.

These mermaids looked ferocious one by one, as if they might kill the hostages at any time.

Can't leave them alone, Cedric is going to wait here for a while, and when the next warrior comes, he will leave.

After another ten minutes, the mermaids around suddenly screamed happily.

Cedric looked up and saw Krum, who had turned into a shark, swimming towards him. Ron and Fleur should be right behind.

He nodded to the other party, pulled Qiu up and floated up, and soon disappeared.

The half-human, half-shark Krum moved closer to the hostages, but a dispute soon ensued.

He ignored his hostage, Polyarco, and wanted to take Harry away, but the merfolk wouldn't let him.

"Your project is to rescue your own friends, leave no one else alone!"

Krum didn't answer, he swung his wand, and a jet of boiling water hit the nearest merfolk.

At the place hit by the spell, the green skin of the mermaid quickly turned red, and then passed out.

The mermaids around stopped smiling, and stared at Krum's wand with yellow eyes, looking terrified.

Despite their numbers, Krum was alone, and the merfolk were afraid of magic.

The head of the Krum shark opened its huge mouth, and the mermaids fled in all directions, and soon disappeared without a trace.

"It turned out to be him!" Ivan could feel what was happening around him. Was Krum controlled by Moody? !

His eyes slit, and he saw Krum swimming up, pulling and biting the ropes on himself and Harry with his teeth.

Krum's movement was so big that it almost tore them both in half, but it didn't work...

He waved his wand again, still not untying the rope between Ivan and Harry.

He shook the shark's head, destroyed the statue, and took Ivan and Harry away from the mermaid village to swim deeper into the lake. 8 For more exciting novels, welcome to visit our Reading Academy
