#371 - Chapter 371 Krum: I suspect the tournament organizers are targeting me

Accompanied by the audience's exclamations, a huge shadow blocked the sunlight, and the pressure of death came crashing down.

In a split second, Fleur made an incredibly correct choice. She didn't turn her head, but randomly grabbed a golden egg and dove to the side.

The giant dragon claw descended from the sky, narrowly missing Fleur, and shards of gravel splashed up, cutting her body with a series of cuts.

"Forget about whether they're real or fake, just grab a golden egg and get out! The magical fluctuations have awakened the dragon!"

Fleur shouted, her voice somewhat distorted due to her urgency, "Don't stand there dumbfounded, hurry!"

Her two teammates finally came to their senses, each grabbing a dragon egg and running towards the edge of the arena without looking back.

As a mother dragon in her incubation period, after seeing her 'children' being taken away, she instantly became enraged, and then she turned her full anger into a scorching dragon flame, spraying it at one of them.

At the critical moment, an earth wall rose from the ground, directly blocking the dragon flame. Sebastian descended from the sky, accurately hitting the dragon's mouth with a Stunning Spell.

Subsequently, Charlie and a group of dragon tamers rushed forward, working together to move the unconscious Welsh Green Dragon away and bring over the Antipodean Opaleye.

Fleur and her two teammates trembled at the edge of the arena. Facing death had brought a considerable psychological shadow to all three of them, and they were unable to calm down for a while.

Just then, the golden eggs in Fleur and the male student's hands suddenly shattered into pieces, leaving only the golden egg in the female student's hand intact.

Damn it!

Could it be that all the luck was used up when choosing the dragon just now?

Two of the three golden eggs they grabbed were actually fake.

This discovery made the three of them look even more unsightly. Although they were unwilling to accept this result, they still walked towards the medical tent under the guidance of the staff.

There, Mia and Madam Pomfrey had already prepared to treat the champions.

Amidst the cheers of the audience, the three champions from Ilvermorny began their challenge.

Unlike the Beauxbatons champions, these three champions dispersed as soon as they entered the arena, firing spells at the Antipodean Opaleye from different angles.

For a time, the battle was extremely fierce, causing the young wizards outside the arena to exclaim in surprise.

"This is so exciting! This is the kind of duel I wanted to see!"

"I didn't expect Ilvermorny's fighting style to be so tough, they're real men!"

"Ilvermorny, go!"

Cheers rang out, and everyone cheered for the Ilvermorny champions.

Unfortunately, although these spells seemed powerful, their power was not enough to completely defeat the dragon in front of them.

The Antipodean Opaleye also realized this, and it breathed fire from afar, then guarded the golden eggs under it even more tightly.

Bagman's commentary appeared at the right time: "The Ilvermorny champions are very brave, but their spells have not had any effect, and have instead made the Antipodean Opaleye more vigilant."

"If this continues, it will be difficult for them to snatch the golden eggs from the dragon's hands."

At this point, the three champions from Ilvermorny were completely numb, and they were somewhat in a dilemma.

There was no way around it, they didn't have the cheat code of a dragon copy, so all the deductions before this were theoretical, and they never thought that the dragon would be so difficult to fight.

As they fought, they realized with sorrow that the competition time was about to run out.

This wouldn't do!

If they couldn't get a single golden egg, then Ilvermorny would become a laughing stock in the wizarding world.

Ilvermorny's Karl Johnson looked at Sebastian in the sky, then hardened his heart and shouted to his teammates, "Cover me, I'm going to steal a golden egg."

"Are you crazy?!"

"It has to be this way, Ilvermorny can't have zero golden eggs!" Karl began to release a large amount of smoke in the arena to block the dragon's vision.

"Make some noise to attract the dragon's attention, I'm going in." Saying that, Karl cast a Disillusionment Charm on himself and plunged into the thick fog.

On the judges' bench, the headmaster of Ilvermorny was extremely serious, and after seeing Karl drill into the thick fog, he clenched his fists nervously.

"Agilbert," Karkaroff mocked, "Your student is starting to risk his life. It's easy for him to be in mortal danger when his vision is obstructed. Are you sure you don't want to stop him?"

Agilbert's fist loosened and tightened again, and then he said in a deep voice, "I trust Professor Swan, the safety officer. With him here, my student will be fine."

Karl's strategy was quite successful. The Antipodean Opaleye had been paying attention to the noise made by the other two champions, and didn't notice the invisible man coming to its side.

However, he also knew that his good luck had come to an end. Once he touched the golden egg, he would inevitably attract the dragon's attention.

Fortunately, he had already used a probing spell to distinguish which golden eggs were useful during the battle just now.

So he no longer hesitated, snatched a golden egg and threw it towards his companions, at the same time he looked up and shouted to the sky.

"I forfeit!"

The golden egg was too big, he couldn't hold two at the same time, and he didn't have the chance to bend down and grab another one.

Because when he picked up the first golden egg, the dragon had already angrily snapped down.

At the critical moment, Sebastian descended from the sky and saved the adventurous young wizard.

The competition ended, and the three from Ilvermorny only got one golden egg. The three of them had no objection to this result, and happily walked towards the medical tent.

The young wizards gave them warm applause, and then welcomed the three champions from Durmstrang with even more enthusiastic applause.

"Krum! Krum! Krum!"

Karkaroff even stood up, waving his arms, leading the Durmstrang students to cheer for Krum together.

Krum frowned as he stood on the field, his mood not pleasant.

Thanks to Karkaroff, the headmaster, the three champions had known the content of the competition was to grab the golden eggs long ago.

Originally, their plan was to rely on Krum's flying skills to provoke the dragon, and then use a feint to lure the dragon away, allowing the remaining two teammates to calmly select the correct golden eggs.

If they could succeed, they would be the most perfect winners of this competition.

Unexpectedly, the competition rules restricted the champions from leaving the arena, and now the simplest and easiest method could not be used.

Just now, when they were discussing Plan B in the tent, the three of them discovered a loophole in the competition rules, that is, the scope of the arena also included the sky directly above the arena.

Therefore, Krum decided to continue using the flying broom, and then lure the dragon to climb straight up, allowing his teammates to seize the time to pick golden eggs.

Unexpectedly, the thick chains on the dragon's legs shattered their plan as well.

Damn it, is the competition deliberately targeting me, the world's number one Seeker?

"Krum, what do we do?"

Krum looked at the fierce-looking Chinese Fireball and spat out a sentence from between his teeth.

"Continue with Plan B, first make it lose its sight."

"Get ready, Stinging Jinx, full attack!"

......
