So, during a thunderstorm, you have to get close to a pond and climb low to avoid being struck by lightning.
On the water, Deng Shiren and Zhang Zhiwei took turns to break the defenses of the sea beasts, and Chongyi was defeated by the thunder.
"Master Liu!"
Batik tore off his tie, turned over and jumped onto the platform amid the exclamations of people around him.
While still in the air, Liu Kunsheng attached himself to Batik's body, and a small amount of demonic energy escaped from Batik's body.
As he fell, a demonic aura as deep as the night fell in front of Deng Shiren, like a white python appearing in the world!
Batik stared with a pair of scarlet snake eyes, licking the corner of his mouth with his snake tongue, and Liu Kunsheng's voice came out of my mouth:
"What a thief! His grandfather just happened to be itching to do something, so he came to your door!"
“How filial!”
Liu Kunsheng used Batik's body to kick under the lake surface. The tremendous force it carried immediately created huge waves dozens of feet low under the White Lake. The huge waves also carried Liu Kunsheng's hidden power, which could destroy the embankment even if it hit it.
Riding the tides and waves is the specialty of snakes and dragons.
Even if he had the ability to control water, Liu Kunsheng could still raise huge waves like a dragon and make rivers disobey his orders.
The huge waves hit the tentacles of the sea beast, as if a giant python was entangled underneath it, and several tentacles were entangled together and tied into a knot. The ones that hurt were the remaining tentacles of Deng Shi, which kept beating the water surface.
The originally turbulent lake surface suddenly became turbulent, and countless waves hit the platform, scaring the students into screaming wildly and fleeing in panic.
"Ugh."
Young Deng Youfu raised the Elder Wand and waved it backwards.
The waves rushing towards the eight floating towers gradually froze from the crests to the end, and in a few seconds they turned into eight sparkling ice sculptures, emitting white hot air.
Barty Cullen was fearful in the face of danger, but he acted calmly. When Minister of Magic Fudge was still at a loss as to what to do, he picked up his wand, cast a spell, and gave himself a loud voice, commanding the Aurors to control the situation:
"The Aurors of the Ministry of Magic use protective spells to protect the students and audience."
"Hogwarts professors, please help Professor Deng Youfu to control the magical creature and prevent it from getting damaged."
Batty Keyulong bowed to Young Master Deng Youfu beside him and said, "Professor Deng Youfu, please help control the sea monster and stop the storm."
Although Barty Clark let his old bones rush to the rear line, Young Master Deng Youfu seemed very unhappy. In such a chaotic situation, the leader of the Ministry of Magic should not have such decisiveness and responsibility.
Young Master Deng Youfu said meaningfully: "If there is a problem, it is your responsibility, Batti Ke Yulong."
"Director."
Chapter 274
In fact, even if Dumbledore didn't appear, the giant octopus would have been dismantled by Zhang Zhiwei and Liu Kunsheng and made into seafood soup.
A tentacle, which was longer than Durmstrang's magic ship parked at the dock, swept across the water surface, and the strong wind it brought caused ripples on the water surface, trying to knock Zhang Zhiwei away.
Once a modern ship's arm-thick cable breaks, the force on the rope can break a person in two.
The tentacles of the sea monster are thicker than the mast and have the power to break a sailboat.
Compared with the size of the sea monster, Zhang Zhiwei is like a mosquito flying around a person, and the sea monster is like a giant waving his hand to slap the mosquito away.
But how many people can really swat a mosquito away with a wave of their hands?
Faced with the tentacles pushing towards him like a wall of flesh, Zhang Zhiwei bent his knees slightly, treated the water surface as the ground, and using the water surface to gain leverage, he easily jumped more than ten meters high, avoiding the tentacles whizzing past like a pendulum.
He stretched out his hand and pointed, and golden light shot out from his fingertips. Zhang Zhiwei's golden light was completely different from Hu Xiuwu and Zhang Lingyu's.
Combining hardness and softness, the golden light condensed into a thin rope, which was indestructible, yet soft and tough. It wrapped around the tentacles as nimbly as a snake, tightly entwined around the tentacles, and sunk deeply into the tentacles' flesh, turning the originally slippery tentacles into squid sausages.
Lightning flashed in the palm of Zhang Zhiwei's hand, and spread along the golden light to the tentacles. The slippery skin around the golden light was instantly charred black. The golden rope immediately contracted and took the opportunity to penetrate into the flesh. The golden light flashing with lightning seemed to have turned into an electric knife surrounding the tentacles.
Sizzle,
Along with the smell of barbecue and the sound of boiling gravy, the golden halo was like a surgical laser knife, easily cutting into the meat, cutting off the tentacles of the giant octopus and stopping the bleeding of the giant beast.
The severed tentacles floated on the Black Lake, curled up into a ball, like a large squid snack.
The pain of a broken foot drove the siren crazy, and its remaining tentacles slapped the Black Lake recklessly, making the Black Lake like a typhoon, with huge waves and endless layers.
The professors and Aurors worked together to hold up a shield to protect the students, blocking the huge waves, wind and rain, and preventing any students from being knocked off the tower.
The Heavenly Master felt pity and knew that there was another hidden story behind this matter. In addition, Zhang Lingyu and Hu Xiuwu were safe and sound, so he did not intend to take its life. He only gave it a small punishment to vent his anger on behalf of the two juniors. After all, the monster had many hands and feet, so it didn't matter if he lost one.
However, Liu Kunsheng was much more violent. Deng Youfu couldn't easily send Liu Kunsheng out of Hogwarts. Just staying in the hall made Liu Kunsheng feel suffocated.
In addition to wanting to save Hu Xiuwu, this thousand-year-old snake demon also wanted to vent the frustration of living in a foreign country.
Liu Kunsheng controlled Deng Youfu's body, and with all kinds of flexible, strange and soft postures like a snake or python, he nimbly dodged the sea beast's tentacles that were flapping around like crazy, and reached directly above the sea beast's head.
"Barbarian, let me teach you how to beat someone up!"
Deng Youfu (Liu Kunsheng) raised his right leg high and chopped it down suddenly like a battle axe. In a trance, it seemed as if an unruly, evil python was waving its tail.
The giant python split the lake.
The seemingly ordinary kicking technique directly cut a more than ten-meter-long axe mark on the Black Lake. The mark was several meters deep, which not only separated the lake water, but also left a long scar on the face of the sea beast, cutting the tender white flesh on the squid's head, revealing the translucent soft skull inside.
Although it was raised in the Black Lake and was full of spiritual energy, had a strong physique, and amazing defensive capabilities, and even faintly broke through the limits that could be achieved by the world's exotic beasts, the two opponents it faced were not simple characters either.
One is a contemporary Heavenly Master who inherits the thousand-year-old wisdom of Mount Longhu, and the other is a thousand-year-old immortal from Mount Changbai, but neither of them is within the standard.
For Zhang Lingyu and Hu Xiuwu who were unable to break through the sea beast's defense, this sea beast was very difficult to deal with, but for Liu Kunsheng and Zhang Zhiwei, it was just a big target.
For them, defeating this sea beast would only require some effort and was nothing.
If this sea monster still maintained its normal intelligence, it would have escaped long ago, but it was obviously abnormal now. One of its tentacles had been broken off, and it had been hit hard on the head by Liu Kunsheng, exposing the transparent cartilage under the flesh. However, it still wanted to grab Hu Xiuwu who was watching the fun on the side.
Hu Xiuwu was not panicked at all and did not even try to hide. With Liu Kunsheng in front of him and the old Taoist priest behind him, what was he afraid of?
Zhe Gui lay in front of him calmly, the armor on his palms emitting a hot orange-red glow, which also dyed Zhe Gui orange-red, and the power of the burning sword extended to Zhe Gui's sword.
Sparks flashed in front of Hu Xiuwu and Dumbledore appeared in front of him, protecting Hu Xiuwu behind him. With a wave of his wand, the water flowed upstream and formed a one-meter-thick water curtain.
Dumbledore pointed his wand at the water curtain, causing ripples to appear. The ripples were cold and quickly froze wherever they passed, freezing the water curtain. The originally soft water curtain instantly turned into an ice wall, blocking Dumbledore and Hu Xiuwu.
The tentacles hit the solid ice, causing several cracks to appear on the ice layer, like porcelain on the verge of disintegration. The ice chips on it fell down like jade powder, shining.
啾，
The Phoenix, with flaming stars waving between its wings and feathers like red jade and glass, flew low over the sea beast's head and sprinkled a drop of crystal tear on the sea beast's body.
It is rumored that the Phoenix's tears can cure all poisons, heal injuries, and break curses.
This teardrop floated in the air, seemingly having life, avoiding all kinds of dust obstacles and landing precisely on the wound that Liu Kunsheng had cut open, falling into the sea beast's brain, reaching the crux of the problem and allowing the tear to take effect at the fastest speed.
After the water entered its brain, the sea beast froze for a moment, and clarity finally returned to its big eyes, but there was also a hint of confusion.
I didn't understand why I suddenly appeared on the water. I felt a cold feeling on my head, severe pain all over my body, and one of my tentacle was numb and I couldn't feel it.
Although it was confused, it saw the headmaster of Hogwarts, and his voice echoed in its mind, repeating that it should leave.
It had a contract with Hogwarts and had to obey the headmaster's orders. Although its brain was blocked as if it was flooded, it still dived to the bottom of the lake.
"Bastard! Where to go!"
Liu Kunsheng was not satisfied yet and wanted to chase after her.
Zhang Zhiwei stopped Liu Kunsheng and said, "Immortal, don't chase after a desperate enemy. Forget it."
"Why does the Heavenly Master want to practice with me?" Liu Kunsheng was eager to try. He had long wanted to test the weight of the leader of the Zhengyi Alliance.
Zhang Zhiwei was not angry, and said kindly: "There, my strength is not as good as that of the immortals."
Hu Xiuwu grinned: What do you mean, Master? You only mentioned strength and not other things. Are you saying that Uncle Liu is not a good person in other aspects?
I don't know if Liu Kunsheng heard the hidden meaning of the Heavenly Master.
Anyway, Liu Kunsheng, who was originally rubbing his hands and ready to fight, had his fighting spirit on his face disappear quickly like the mist on the car window, and turned into impatience, just like a grandfather who was persuaded by his grandson not to drink anymore:
"Alright, alright, stop wasting time. I got it. Master, let's practice again next time."
He then closed his eyes, and the evil spirit retracted into Deng Youfu's body. When he opened his eyes again, Deng Youfu's eyes had returned to normal.
Seeing that Deng Youfu no longer chased the sea monster, Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief.
He took action not only to save Hu Xiuwu, but also to save the sea beast. That was the legacy left by the founder of Hogwarts. The divine beast guarding Hogwarts could not die at the hands of a guest because of someone's secret mischief.
Chapter 275 The Value of the Goblet of Fire
The sea monster retreated, but the story was not over yet.
Except for Zhang Lingyu, everyone knew about the accident that happened during the first match between Zhang Lingyu and the Fire Dragon, and they understood that it was indeed an expected "accident".
The nature of today's incident is different. It is obvious that someone is trying to eliminate the warriors. Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic must give an explanation to Nadutong and Tianshi Mansion.
However, after such an incident, the Goblet of Fire had to continue, and the judges even gave scores to each warrior. Cedric ranked first this time, followed by Harry and Zhang Lingyu.
Although he understood that the Goblet of Fire had signed a contract with the warriors and the competition could not be easily stopped, Hu Xiuwu was still speechless about Fudge of the British Ministry of Magic who continued to preside over the Goblet of Fire as if nothing had happened.
When the sea monster came out just now, I didn’t see him so passionate.
After Hu Xiuwu came back, Furong, a charming girl like a rose, pulled her sister to Hu Xiuwu's side, gave him a warm hug, and kissed him like raindrops with the passion unique to the romantic city, saying as she kissed him:
"Thank you, thank you for saving my sister."
Little Loli Gabrielle also stood on tiptoe to give her a kiss, and this scene made Ron on the side so envious that he wished he could take her place.
Hu Xiuwu licked the corner of his mouth, glanced at Bi Youlong, who was standing next to him with an expressionless face, and defended himself: "She came too fast, I didn't react."
"Humph, I'll settle the score with you later."
Although he said this, Bi Youlong was not the kind of person who would tell tales about everything. With the conspiracy around the corner, he was too lazy to pay attention to these trivial matters.
Using the excuse that Gabrielle needed to rest, Hu Xiuwu barely dealt with the overly enthusiastic Furong, and finally had the time and energy to observe the situation on the platform.
Before coming to Black Lake, Zhang Lingyu was with Nadutong and Zhang Zhiwei. It was impossible for anyone to do anything to Zhang Lingyu at that time.
Only after Zhang Lingyu came to the platform and left the main force was it possible for him to be attacked from behind.
While scanning the platform, Hu Xiuwu accidentally made eye contact with Behemoth's warrior Mike. The pale-faced Mike forced a stiff smile, completely lacking the charm he had in the first game. He also dodged the resentful eyes of his companion who acted as his "treasure", as if he felt a little guilty for deserting the battlefield.
Hu Xiuwu smiled back, but in his heart he gave his acting skills a bad review and became even more suspicious of him.
Well, my friend, your acting is not in the right direction.
You, Mike Lucas, are the warrior chosen by the Goblet of Fire. What you lack the least should be sacrifice and courage. Would you be so scared after encountering a sea monster?
