It was almost time. Now, only Allen, Harry, and Krum had rescued the hostages. Bagman had already informed the audience that if the time was up, there would be no hope.
The atmosphere was very tense. Many young wizards stood up and looked anxiously into the water.
"Will they pull the hostages back to the bottom of the water when the time is up?"
"They won't really kill them, right?"
"Will those mermaids eat people?"
"Impossible. With Dumbledore here, no one will die."
"Don't forget, people did die in the previous Three Wizard Tournament."
…
On the black lake, the lake water splashed and rolled. Hibiscus was riding a tall horse with a golden iron cage around its head, riding on the waves as she approached.
In front of her sat Albert. Albert sat in front of her with a serious expression, trying to straighten his back to make himself look more heroic. However, the reins were in the hands of Hibiscus Chinensis. Hibiscus Chinensis's blonde hair fluttered in the cold wind. In the sunlight, a wanton smile bloomed on her astonishingly white face. It was dazzling.
"A horse-shaped water monster." A young wizard recognized the magical creature under Albert's crotch.
"The water monsters in England and Ireland can change into various shapes, but they most often appear in the shape of a horse, with a broad-leaved cattail as a mane. It entices the unwary to ride on its back, and plunges headlong into the bottom of a river or lake, where it gobbles up its prey and lets its entrails float to the surface. The correct way to defeat a horse-shaped water monster is to use a placing spell to put a bridle on its head. Then it will become docile and obedient, no longer a threat to you. But don't let it go easily, or it will hold a grudge and curse you. "
Edward said excitedly. They had seen Newt in the training class. Scamander's book, Where Are Magical Creatures?, had a detailed introduction of this magical creature. They didn't expect to see a real horse-shaped water monster so soon.
"Miss Dracul, this is a really good transformation spell. There are even wavy patterns on the bridle that I like." Dumbledore smiled and winked at Hibiscus Chinensis. "But there's still a small problem. We can't just let it go like this. Let me solve the problem of this curse. I only need a magic spell, and it's very effective."
Dumbledore pointed his wand at the horse-shaped water monster that was digging at the soil with its hooves. The water monster suddenly shrank and quickly bounced away, turning into a twisting sea snake that fell back into the black lake.
Carla's other Warriors' Head Bubble Spell was broken during the fight against the horse-shaped water monster. Therefore, even though Carla still didn't like Hibiscus Chinensis, she didn't reject the Hibiscus Chinensis's Cheek Pouch Potion. Instead, she thanked Hibiscus Chinensis for the first time.
When Carla arrived at the hostage area, Allen shrunk the magic area that he controlled, and the rolling lake water instantly swept them away.
Carla and her hostage kicked the lake water with all their might. She knew that they were running out of time, and she also knew that the sunlight and air were only ten feet above them. She had to get her hostage to the shore before the time was up. Only then could she get some points.
Suddenly she felt her head break the surface of the water, and the air that she remembered as wonderful, fresh, cool, brushed against her damp face, made her ache, and she could hardly breathe in its envelopment. She plunged her head back into the water, and felt so much more at home, as if she had been born to live in it.
Allen's Cheek Pouch Potion was far more effective than the Cheek Pouch Potion. She could only stay in the lake until the effect of the potion wore off.
On the other hand, her hostage was gulping down air as if she had never breathed properly in her life.
Carla gestured to her hostage, indicating that she should go first. Thus, Carla's hostage continued to swim to the shore while gasping for air.
Carla swam freely in the lake, but this leisure did not last long. She was caught off guard and something grabbed her ankle.
She twisted her body and saw a Grindel sticking its body out from the water plants. Its long nails were tightly grasping her leg. At the same time, two more Grindel came out from the water plants, grabbed her leg, and pulled her down with all their might.
"Loosen your grip!" Carla shouted, but no sound came out. A big bubble came out of her mouth. Her wand did not shoot any sparks at the Grindel. Instead, it seemed to shoot a boiling water column at them. The green skin of the Grindel that was hit by the water column immediately turned red.
Carla freed her leg from the Grindel's grip and swam forward with all her might. From time to time, she would release some hot water columns behind her.
However, there were more and more Grindel following her. They attacked her crazily. Her body and legs had been scratched several times. Blood dyed the black lake red, which further stimulated the crazed Grindel. Their attacks became more and more ruthless.
At this moment, Carla knew that there was only one person who could save her. She desperately fled in the direction of the Mermaid Square where Allen was.
She paddled with her webbed hands and used all her strength to hit her webbed feet. She swam with all her strength, and finally, both of her legs were stiff.
The lake was pitch-black, and she gradually felt more and more breathless. She felt the unbearable pain on both sides of her neck. She began to realize very clearly how wet and cold the lake water was in her mouth. However, she also saw Allen who was pointing his wand at the Grindel behind her.
In just a moment, the wind and waves around her were calm, and the rippling water was as calm as a pool of stagnant water.
Carla turned around and saw that the Grindel who were chasing her crazily were still in all kinds of threatening positions. Their originally crazy minds seemed to have been sobered up in an instant. They stared blankly at all their limbs and torsos slowly withered. They twisted even more crazily, but it was useless. They watched in vain as they were woven into dried squid, shriveled and shriveled into a ball.
Even the dense seaweed could no longer dance and twine with the waves. It was wrinkled and soft at the bottom of the lake.
"What kind of magic is this?! It can drain the water from the Grindel and the seaweed, but the lake water is safe. " Carla could not believe her eyes. This strange scene did not make the panic in her heart disappear. Instead, it made her hair stand on end.
In the blink of an eye, these shriveled Grindel and the seaweed turned into powder, as if they had formed a cluster of green sticky liquid in the lake water. However, they were then diluted by the lake water and scattered in the lake.
