Chapter 372 The Furious Grindylow
As Hermione progressed underwater, her luck finally came to an end.
Trouble found her,
Just as she kept swimming, a dark creature suddenly poked its body out from the water plants in front of her, its sharp claws extended to hook Hermione's ankles.
Hermione seemed unaware of this, but the audience saw this scene through the secret eyes, and they all felt worried for the girl.
The moment the claws were about to touch her skin, a dazzling red light struck first and knocked it away.
Although Hermione did not see the attacker with her own eyes, in her semi-water elemental state, she was extremely sensitive to water currents close to her body.
Therefore, before the monster touched her, she was keenly aware of the abnormality in the water flow.
A painful, sharp wail resounded in the black lake, and then the attacker fled into the water and grass and disappeared without a trace.
"It's Grindylow." Hermione shook her head helplessly, put away her wand and didn't bother to chase after him.
Grindylow is a disgusting green water monster with long horns.
Their upper bodies basically maintain a human shape, with extremely long fingers and sharp nails.
The lower body is similar to an octopus, with many tentacles with suckers.
This magical creature usually likes to lurk in dense aquatic plants. When its prey is passing by, it suddenly stretches out its claws and hooks it, then drags it into the aquatic plants and enjoys it slowly.
They can be said to be the most dangerous creatures that warriors need to face. After all, they have sharp fangs and teeth, and their IQs are frighteningly low. They are not as merciful as fishmen.
Generally speaking, their family has been completely tamed by mermaids and have become dog-like beings. They can guard the mermaids' homes and homes, and act as shepherd dogs when herding fish.
They are not difficult to deal with. Last year, Professor Lupine gave a detailed introduction to them. Basically, any wizard in the third grade or above can kill them with just a magic spell.
But even this kind of weak water monster cannot be underestimated when gathered together.
Such as the group in front of Hermione now.
After dealing with several Grindylow attacks and knocking out two murlocs,
Hermione finally left the seaweed forest and arrived near the fishman village.
Just when he thought the trouble would disappear, he suddenly discovered,
Dozens of Grindylows were attacking her.
"How come there is such a large group of Grindylows attacking wizards? What do fish-men do?"
Hermione was confused.
From Levin, she roughly understood what was going on in the Black Lake.
These fishmen are partners in the Triwizard Tournament and are also the ones responsible for protecting the warriors.
They will be responsible for controlling the difficulty of the game, and will not kill the little wizard, nor send Grindylow that exceeds the limit of the little wizard.
But this was obviously not the case with the powerful Grindylows in front of them.
If the person standing here was not Hermione, but another warrior, then he would definitely have no choice but to turn around and run away.
"Perhaps this is what Dumbledore mentioned in his letter, the effect of Crouch Jr.'s investment in the madness potion?"
Hermione couldn't help but think,
But no matter what caused it, the top priority is to solve the immediate trouble.
Hermione stared forward, not looking up at all. The red light of the wand in her hand flashed, and the red light broke through the water flow.
"[Thunderbolt Explosion]!"
Hermione did not use the more powerful [Fireball], but chose the [Explosive Curse] that could be used underwater.
The speed of this conventional damage type spell in the water is not very fast, and it shows an obvious trajectory.
However, these crazy Grindylows didn't know what dodge was, and Red Ba successfully got into their ranks.
"Boom————'
A roar sounded from the team.
It's like a mine exploded in the water,
The nearest Grindylows were blown to pieces on the spot.
The surrounding Grindylows were also staggered by the shock wave and were in a state of confusion.
Minced meat and Grindylow's green blood made a small area cloudy,
The cruel scene made Hermione almost vomit on the spot.
She fully thought that this terrifying scene could scare away these monsters.
But this group of Grindylows didn't seem to notice it, bypassing the broken limbs and arms of their compatriots, and continued to attack Hermione.
"It's endless."
Hermione frowned and waved her wand.
Invisible magic spreads forward,
The next moment, a small area of water in front of the girl seemed to be held by an invisible big hand, and a sudden turbulence arose.
In the turbulence, several Grindylows were suddenly crushed into pulp, with all their bones broken.
It was the special underwater spell [Water Pressure Sphere] that Hermione learned specifically for this competition.
In terms of magic power consumption, this 2-level spell is much lower than [Fireball] and [Explosion Spell].
But the power produced at this time even exceeded the effect of the explosion just now.
The Grindylows around him still ignored him and just wanted to attack Hermione.
Hermione, on her part, found that the deterrent effect of the blasting spell was ineffective, and had no intention of holding back, and waved her wand again and again.
In just ten seconds, he has still used [Water Pressure Sphere] more than eight times on the enemy group.
It was as if an invisible giant stretched out its hand and crushed the ants to death one by one.
The turbulence representing death keeps appearing in Grindylow, and every time it means that several Grindylows turn into meat paste,
In a short time, all the Grindylows died tragically.
The dark green fleshy remains were sent all over the world by the water flow stirred up by the explosion, which directly caused the clear water to become turbid.
Finally defeated the enemy,
Hermione finally breathed a sigh of relief, then started vomiting.
She is not Cirila who has been used to seeing life and death since childhood.
Although Levin trained her well, she had never experienced such naked killing.
If the Grindylow's blood was red, then Hermione believed that she wouldn't be able to hold on and might have nightmares if she went back.
In the audience, the little wizards were also frightened by this scene.
They had no idea that this game would be so dangerous.
Even several referees frowned,
They all also realized that this kind of difficulty was indeed too much,
Mrs. Maxim and Karkaroff were the most worried. They knew that if they were replaced by their own warriors, they would not be able to cope with this situation.
If it were Fleur and Krum who encountered this kind of danger, they would have called for a pause in the game.
…Please give me flowers…
Thinking of this, the two headmasters couldn't help but look at Dumbledore, expecting him to make this move.
After all, it is his students who are unlucky now.
Old Deng pursed his lips, pretending to be deeply surprised and worried as he watched the live illusion, but he did not say anything to stop it.
Levin looked on coldly and admired his acting skills.
Old Bee knows best why the lake is in this situation, or to put it more unpleasantly, it is the result of his laissez-faire.
Finally, Karkaroff lost his composure and said, "Do you think the levels in the Black Lake are a little too...dangerous?"
"Indeed, I think so too." Dumbledore nodded in agreement, looking like he was analyzing it seriously, "But fortunately it's still within the range that the warriors can handle. If it were any more dangerous, I would have stopped the game. "
After listening to Dumbledore's words, Karkaroff cursed inwardly: "What do you mean by 'still within the range that the warriors can handle'? It's obviously still within the range of 'the warriors of Hogwarts can handle'!"
0
He was angry and resentful, but there was nothing he could do about it.
After finally convincing Levin Green by trickery, who would have thought that Hermione Granger would pop up again? How could so many talented little wizards in Hogwarts come from.
Seeing that Karkaroff's test didn't work, Mrs. Maxim sighed and could only say frankly: "Let me put it bluntly, the current level of danger in the Black Lake is completely beyond the scope of what our warriors can handle. Not every Everyone is as talented as Miss Granger. I feel that the difficulty of this competition is a bit too high, which is very unfair to our warriors.
Hearing this, Dumbledore explained in a very calm tone: "What Miss Granger encountered was only an isolated case. In fact, the dangers everyone encounters in the Black Lake are unknown.
Luck is also part of strength, isn't it?"
"But...but what if the warriors encounter danger?" Mrs. Maxim frowned and asked, "What if other warriors encounter such danger, their strength will not even be enough to survive until rescue arrives? .”
This time it was Levin who answered her: "Don't worry, Madam Maxim, I can guarantee that once a warrior's life is in danger, our security measures can fully ensure that they are safe."
Return. "
"You promise? What guarantee do you rely on?" Mrs. Maxim suddenly raised her voice, "On those mermaids? Or are you prepared to take action personally - if it is you or Dumbledore
I do believe a little bit about the hand. "
But Levin shook his head: "No, no, no, the principal and I don't need to take action at all. Do you still remember the security measures I informed you of some time ago? With her here, even if Voldemort takes action himself, she can ensure the safe return of the warriors. "
As soon as Levin finished speaking, Dumbledore glanced at him in surprise.
Karkaroff immediately covered his arm and shuddered: "Don't mention that name!"
Madame Maxime also said doubtfully: "Are you talking too much? Besides Dumbledore himself, who else can deal with that person?"
"You'll know then."
Levin waved his hand and said nothing.
Karkaroff and Mrs. Maxim still had some questions, but out of trust in Levin's strength, they said no more.
The picture shows the semi-water element He Renmin.
