Chapter 307 Countdown
Before Harry could hit the ropes that bound Hermione so many times, several pairs of thick, grey hands nearby grabbed him.
The guarding mermen pulled him away from Hermione, shaking their green-haired heads and speaking in low voices:
"You can only take your own hostages away. You have completed your mission now, so leave now!"
When the audience saw this scene, they also shouted excitedly, asking Harry to hurry back to the lake.
He didn't care at all whether Harry, who was far away at the bottom of the lake, could hear him while he was shouting here.
But Harry didn't care about that. He blew big bubbles in the water and argued with the mermaids who were guarding him.
At this time, the spirit bird also turned the picture to the hostage who was tied up.
Qiu Zhang's head was leaning weakly on Hermione's shoulder. The silver-haired girl's face was blue and she looked lifeless.
Seeing that the hostages looked like they could not hold on any longer, the audience immediately screamed.
Just as Harry struggled to break free from the mermaid's restraints and continue the rescue.
The mermaids laughed and held Harry tightly in place with contempt, as if they were appreciating his desperate expression.
"Oh my god, these mermaids are so disgusting!"
"Referee, save him, save him quickly."
"Where are the other warriors?"
……
The audience, who were originally complaining about Harry breaking the rules, immediately started to curse the mermaid and the heroes who had not yet arrived.
Just when the audience was getting excited, the spirit bird once again sent them a scene that made their scalps tingle.
The huge screen with four projected warriors was occupied by a time that had returned to zero.
"Oh my god, time..."
"I'll go, no way!"
"Help, help quickly!"
……
Countless fierce voices continued to come out from the audience, and everyone's face was flushed and shouting.
At this moment, the time reset and the picture disappeared, and then switched back to the picture at the bottom of the lake.
Here, something happened that made the audience cheer and look forward to it.
Cedric and Fleur with bubbles on their heads, and Bloom with a fish head and a human body.
The three warriors arrived at the small square of this mermaid village almost in no particular order.
Seeing these three people appear at the same time, the audience all breathed a sigh of relief, but Wright's heart was lifted.
Originally, Cedric should have arrived first, followed by Bloom, and Fleur was out.
This was different from the future he knew, which meant that someone was stirring up time.
Just as the three warriors who arrived late were about to step forward to rescue the hostages.
A female mermaid who looked like a leader and was particularly wild and fierce stopped them with a spear and roared:
"You're already late!"
"Except for the one who was rescued and can leave, the other hostages belong to us."
"No, that's impossible!"
Furong looked at her sister whose face was becoming increasingly worse, and screamed as she took out her wand and pointed it at the tall female mermaid in front of her.
In addition to the restrained Harry, Cedric and Bloom also drew their wands and glared at the mermaid.
But the moment they picked up the wands, it was as if some signal was sent.
Around the small square, countless mermaids who were watching nearby immediately swarmed over.
Separating their leaders from the warriors, they also raised their sharp spears and pointed them at the warriors.
Looking at the densely packed swarm of mermaids, not only the warriors felt despair, but even the audience felt that it was the end.
Karkaroff, Maxim, Old Barty and Ludo, these referees all looked at Dumbledore.
Trying to get an explanation from him, or the next steps.
But Dumbledore did not speak. He just stood up, glanced at the audience and sat down again.
The referees were confused by his actions, but Wright understood what he meant.
"Oh my god, this guy wants to be a hands-off boss. Leave everything to me."
Too lazy to continue complaining about Old Deng, Wright directly activated the maze gem and connected to the four spirit birds.
Just as the audience was watching nervously, the warriors and the mermaids were in a tense confrontation.
The clever birds that had been acting as war correspondents chirped once and interrupted the broadcast.
"Fuck! How come he's gone? It's the most tense moment..."
"Help, help quickly!"
"Referee, referee, save him, save him quickly."
……
The noise in the audience did not affect Wright, who was using the properties of the labyrinth gem to take over control of the spirit birds.
In the small square of the mermaid village at the bottom of the lake, the two groups of people who were confronting each other were startled by the clear calls of the spirit birds and almost fired at each other.
Before anyone could say anything, the spirit birds suddenly burst out with powerful and terrifying magic power, like a physical aura being projected towards them.
All creatures that sensed this aura began to feel fear instinctively and their bodies began to tremble.
Then, a magnificent and majestic voice suddenly sounded, spreading throughout the entire area:
"I don't care who you made a deal with!"
"I will only give you two choices. One is that I will completely destroy your race!"
"Another, let them complete the test in peace."
"Dumbledore is willing to negotiate with you, but I won't. You only have three seconds to think about it!"
"three!"
The magical fluctuations of the spirit birds became more and more violent, and terrifying high temperatures spread out.
What’s strange is that these magical powers are like a cauldron, covering the entire mermaid village and isolating it from the outside world.
"two!"
The water temperature of the entire mermaid village suddenly rose, and bubbles like boiling water kept bursting with the sound of "gulping".
The mermaids' rock-gray skin turned red and they all let out miserable wails.
He kept rolling around, trying to relieve the horrible burning sensation on his body...
The warriors and hostages were all enveloped in a faint ball of light.
"one!"
As the lake water boiled, oxygen also left the lake bottom with the bubbles.
The mermaids whose physical fitness was not at the top level all fainted, waiting to be cooked.
Only the mermaid with the strongest physique was left, still wailing and struggling madly.
Looking at this scene in front of me, it was a horrific scene like throwing a live fish into boiling water and boiling it to death.
Even Harry, Cedric, Krum and Fleur, who were protected, couldn't help but tremble all over.
The majestic and indifferent voice sounded again: "It seems that you really want to die..."
"I'm sorry, great being!"
"I beg you to forgive my people. I was controlled by an evil wizard, which led to this mistake."
"I am willing to give everything I have, please forgive my people."
Before Wright could continue to pronounce the verdict, the tall female leader mermaid swam closer, her voice extremely humble.
She endured the high temperature, swam to the front of the spirit birds that were constantly releasing terrifying heat, and crawled in the water.
