Hu Xiuwu and the other two were also close to the ground. Golden light emanated from Hu Xiuwu's body and condensed into a huge sphere outside his and Hermione's bodies, crashing into the ground.
The golden ball actually still had some elasticity. When it hit the ground, it was like dough hitting a chopping board, deflated into an oval golden cake, and then turned into a firefly, disappearing in the wind. Most of the force of its fall was absorbed by the golden light, so Hu Xiuwu and Hermione, who were protected, were unharmed.
On the other side, Moody also used the levitation spell to allow himself to land smoothly like a feather.
But the crisis was not over, and dangerous rain of fire followed them.
The flames fell on the lawn, and the thick dew on the summer night did not slow down the spread of the fire.
The green lawn turned into a dark blue sea of fire in the blink of an eye. When the sea of fire spread to a certain range, it became like a breeding ground for insects, nourishing countless fire elves.
On the scorched earth, red fire snakes were crawling, and above them were gecko-like lizards with flames on their bodies, dancing on the tips of the flames, enjoying the blaze. There were also crows crying and dancing among the swaying flames.
The first two-legged flying dragon grew bigger and bigger, and finally became as big as a running elephant, with horns on its head, ferocious and fierce. It was like the king of this small piece of flame, leading the flame elves in the sea of fire to make it bigger.
The fire dragon flew outward, accompanied by a large amount of fluorescent flames, causing the flames under its wings to grow wildly and the sea of fire to continue to expand.
Hu Xiuwu slashed out a sword wind, blowing towards the sea of fire, trying to slow down the spread of the fire, but after the sword energy flew into the sea of fire, it was licked by the flames and torn apart by the beasts.
The fierce fire can even devour and burn Qi!
The fire dragon then noticed Hu Xiuwu and spit out a fierce blue fire at him.
In order to experience the power of the fierce fire, Hu Xiuwu deliberately did not dodge, but instead set up a protective shield made of golden light.
The dragon flame fell on the golden light shield. Although it did not break through the golden light for the time being, Hu Xiuwu could feel that the fierce fire was constantly burning the golden light.
Although Hu Xiuwu's golden light is as solid as diamond and cannot be burned out by the fierce fire in a short time, it is hard to guarantee that the golden light will not be broken through by it over time.
Hu Xiuwu's Golden Light Mantra skills are already so high. If those who encounter the fierce fire are small Taoist priests whose Golden Light Mantra has not reached the level of transforming into a physical form with Qi, their loose golden light will find it difficult to withstand the burning of the fierce fire and they will be easily burned through.

"All curses end!"
Dumbledore, who was brought to the scene by the Phoenix, did not bother to ask Moody about the origin of the Fiendfyre. He immediately used the Sealing Spell to suppress the spread of the Fiendfyre.
The more you slow down, the greater the power of the fierce fire will be. You cannot hesitate for even a moment when dealing with the fierce fire, so as not to delay the opportunity.
Moody raised his wand and was about to help Dumbledore. Before leaving, he pushed Hu Xiuwu away and said, "Take Hermione away from here quickly. You can't be discovered! Dumbledore and I are the only ones here."
Hu Xiuwu didn't hesitate. He grabbed Hermione's hand, summoned the Three Corpse Needles, and pulled them both towards the castle.
He knew what Moody was thinking. With such a big commotion here, Dumbledore had already arrived.
It probably wouldn't be long before the rest of the professors would arrive, and if anyone saw the two of them with Moody, all of Moody's plans would be in vain.
So, no matter what, Hu Xiuwu and Hermione must leave. They must not let anyone suspect that they are related to what happened tonight.
I'm really sorry, I'm currently preparing for the provincial exam interview, so I'm afraid the updates won't be stable until the end of the month.
Chapter 263 Doubt
Hermione, who had just experienced an adventure and was full of worries but also a little excited, was sent back to the Gryffindor College tower by Hu Xiuwu. The portrait of the Fat Lady guarding the door of the Gryffindor common room looked at the two of them with an ambiguous smile, but warned Hu Xiuwu not to enter the girls' dormitory.
Coincidentally, because the ball ended early, the Gryffindor students who were escorted back by the professor saw Hermione and Hussain parting.
"Oh~"
The Weasley brothers gathered around Hermione and started to make noises.
The other Gryffindor girls had an indifferent attitude. Apart from performing well in the Transfiguration class, Hu Xiuwu was usually very low-key. So after the ball, the Gryffindor girls didn't pay too much attention to him, and didn't care whether Hermione really hooked up with Hu Xiuwu.
Harry also looked normal, greeting Hu Xiuwu as usual, and even teased them both:
"Hermione, Xiuwu, why are you two here? It's still early."
Ron, who was standing beside Harry, looked at Hugh Jackman and Hermione with jealousy.
Hermione blushed and said, "What are you talking about, Harry! You don't even know what we've been doing."
Ron sneered: "What else can we do if we leave the party midway..."
Ron did not say the more unpleasant words that followed, not because he was well-educated, but because his two twin brothers carried him up and took him to the common room, preventing him from saying the rest.
It turns out that sometimes, within just one or two hours, a person's view of another person can change 180 degrees.
Hermione had never realized that Ron's sarcastic tone and expression when he spoke were so childish.
Hermione no longer wanted to pay attention to Ron. She shook her long hair, stretched her neck like a proud white swan, and left proudly.
It was not worth it to feel sad for someone like him before.
Of course, in just a few months, Hermione did not develop any feelings for Hu Xiuwu.
But after meeting better people, she realized that she was like a hen, staring at the millet grains under her feet.
But what happened in the past few days made her realize that the level of magic she was so proud of was actually nothing. There were already people among her peers who could challenge fire dragons head-on and defeat them. There were also people whose strength was even regarded as a right-hand man by the professor. She felt more at ease with him around.
Thinking about it carefully, she actually forgot the feeling of being moved and yearning when she suddenly realized that the magic in the stories was real when she entered school. She lost herself in the love affair. From now on, she will study and train harder.
Hermione left in style, and the others had already entered the common room, leaving Harry and Hu Xiuwu looking at each other in bewilderment.
Hu Xiuwu was the first to break the deadlock: "It's getting late, I'll leave first."
"By the way, Harry." Hu Xiuwu blinked at Harry, "Go ask Hermione, she seems to have guessed the secret of the golden egg."
After saying that, he didn't bother explaining anything to Harry anymore and just left in a carefree manner.
It turns out how fun it is to be a riddle teller!
Hu Xiuwu returned to the room happily. When he got back to the room, he found it empty. Zhang Lingyu and others had not returned yet. It seemed that Dumbledore had not yet dealt with the matter of Fiendfyre, and the people in the auditorium had not returned yet.
Taking advantage of this quiet moment, Hu Xiuwu collapsed on the bed, his pupils like the lens of a projector playing a movie, overflowing with colorful light, reviewing everything that happened today.
Mainly, I was recalling in my mind what happened after the dance.
Especially Barty Crouch Jr.'s actions,
The situation was critical just now and he hadn't thought much about it, but now, as a bystander, experiencing what had just happened, Barty Crouch Jr.'s performance seemed particularly strange.
What was strange was not that he attacked the three of them, but that he had the ability to bypass Moody and his chain confinement seal, and had the courage to commit suicide and keep it secret.
Then why didn't it explode directly in the cabin?
The fierce fire is so sticky and powerful, and the cabin is narrow, making it difficult to dodge. If they suddenly encounter it in the cabin, Hu Xiuwu and the other two will definitely be in a mess.
It is possible that Moody and others will die together with him, and the evidence can also be directly destroyed.
Kill two birds with one stone.
But he waited for a while, and only released the Fiery Curse after Moody pulled him out of the magic ship.
Was it because he wasted time trying to break free from the seal, or was it because he did it on purpose so as not to release the Fierce Fire Curse inside the magic ship to prevent harm to certain things or people inside the ship?
For example, what about the instruments in that cabin?
Hu Xiuwu was thoughtful. If he continued to explore along this line of thought, it would be terrifying. As a loyal follower of Voldemort, would Barty Crouch Jr. put the interests of Behemoth above Voldemort?
Once Hu Xiuwu started thinking, he couldn't stop.
Although everyone knew that Behemoth came with bad intentions, Hu Xiuwu further understood that Behemoth came for the Hogwarts formation diagram, or the Goblet of Fire.
Going back to the beginning, Hu Xiuwu realized that he had no idea how Behemoth persuaded Karkaroff and why he insisted on letting Behemoth join in the preparation stage of the Goblet of Fire.
Things are getting more interesting.
······
After Bi Youlong and others came back, many employees looked at Hu Xiuwu with a complex expression, as if they were looking at a beast, but also wishing they were that beast.
This bastard actually hooked up with a pretty girl here. Although the girl looks mature and beautiful, she is actually only fourteen years old!
Pooh!Scumbag!
Everyone disparages lolicon, but most people envy lolicon. Otherwise, how could there be the concept of legal lolita?
Facing these envious, jealous and hateful looks, Hu Xiuwu pulled Bi Youlong aside for a private chat.
Tell the whole story of this night.
People are close or distant, and no matter what, Hu Xiuwu cannot let his family get caught in a trap, but he knows nothing about the situation and his vision is obscured by the fog.
Bi Youlong naturally put away the magic weapon that was used to contact Liao Zhong and thought:
"So that's how it is. Behemoth is coveting Hogwarts' wealth."
"Let's just stand by and watch. Without Dumbledore's invitation, if we intervene rashly, we will be unjustified and will not please either side. Besides, they have neither evidence nor witnesses. This matter will probably be left unresolved tomorrow."
The leader of their team is Bi Youlong. Since he said to keep the troops on hold for now, then let's keep the troops on hold for now.
Hu Xiuwu also wants to find Zhang Lingyu and tell him the secret hidden in the golden egg.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Lingyu seemed to be hesitant to speak when she saw Hu Xiuwu. Hu Xiuwu knew what Zhang Lingyu wanted to say even if he used his butt to guess.
Hu Xiuwu was too lazy to talk nonsense, so he quickly told Zhang Lingyu the news about the golden egg and told him to go and try it.
Zhang Lingyu was about to go to the bathroom with the golden egg in his arms. Unexpectedly, before entering the bathroom, he still looked like he wanted to correct his brother's mistake, but was worried that his brother would lose face. In the end, he acted as if he was ready to die, and said tactfully:
"Brother, as a cultivator of the Dao, we should cultivate our moral character, clear our minds and get rid of desires, so as to realize the Dao and seek the truth, escape from the mundane world, and always be pure and quiet."
??? What does that mean? It means that I am not pure, and I am too close to the world.
How dare you say that to me?!
Zhang Lingyu felt guilty after he finished speaking, and immediately ran into the bathroom holding the golden egg.
Hu Xiuwu was left with a deep anger, but he couldn't defend himself. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got:
It's over. My reputation is ruined now. Moody, if you don't give me a satisfactory compensation, I will not let it go.
When Zhang Lingyu, soaked in water, came out of the bathroom excitedly, Hu Xiuwu was too lazy to pay attention to the other know-it-alls who were trying to ask him about gossip. He just meditated and practiced the Qi circulation.
Zhang Lingyu had no choice but to swallow the words on his lips. He did not dare to disturb Hu Xiuwu. He secretly thought about the mystery of the song in the golden egg and how to crack the content of the second competition.
The next morning, Hu Xiuwu went out early, feeling refreshed and ready to go to the Transfiguration class. Before he entered the classroom, he saw Dumbledore standing at the door of the Transfiguration class.
Hu Xiuwu had some guesses, but he still greeted Dumbledore as usual: "Principal Dumbledore, what are you doing here?"
Dumbledore looked at him kindly, but his words were a little frivolous: "Professor McGonagall has praised you to me a long time ago, saying that your Transfiguration has made rapid progress. I think if you just skip one class, Professor McGonagall will still forgive you."
"Are you interested in taking a walk with this poor old man like me?"
