Chapter 440： Return trip

The African elephant uttered a sharp croak and fell to the ground. Its broad and heavy back stumbled and knocked down seven or eight people. A few of them were so tired that they simply slid down like sitting on a slide, and their body rolled on the platform. Two laps, panting heavily.

For these warriors, whether physically or mentally, they are already exhausted and have reached their limit.

Harry found it difficult to move together at the moment. Every muscle from head to toe hurts so much. He wanted to lift his head, but his neck seemed to be broken, so he could only look at people with his slanted eyes.

He looked at Ron and Hermione. The breathing of the three was like an old bellows leaking. At this moment, Ron suddenly laughed exaggeratedly. He lay on the ground, his fists banging against the white marble surface. Even the tears came out laughing.

"Look...Look at the elephant's nose...haha...like a snot bubble..."

Harry and Hermione reluctantly looked over. The African elephant was lying on the ground, slowly recovering its human form, but it was still possible to see a bubble hanging from the end of the elephant’s long nose... Harry guessed it was a bubble curse. , But... nasal blisters?

His shoulders suddenly shrugged, trying to keep himself from laughing, and it seemed that Hermione seemed to have to bear it very hard.

Cedric, Collins, and Roger limped to their side, sat on the ground unimaginatively, panting for breath. Cedric was already white, but now it's more like soaking in water for three days. Three nights, like a vampire. Collins seemed to have a cold, and his nose made intermittent whistle sounds every time he breathed. As for Roger, he lay on his back directly on the ground, and played a duet with the Vagado warrior who was lying on the ground, and he snored loudly.

"He's exhausted..." Cedric pointed to Roger Davis and said wearily. "Thanks, your patron saint has helped a lot."

"I'm fine," Harry said awkwardly. He wasn't very used to this atmosphere, he raised his head and looked around. His neck started to hurt again, and the skin on the back of his neck was stiff like an old tire. "Are everyone here?" He grinned. Ask without words.

He saw Furong talking to a girl with a pale face, Krum's face was sullen, his physical strength was surprisingly good, he walked around with a pair of legs, and from time to time he raised his head and stared at the mermaid guard who was approaching in the distance. Graves' face matched that of Krum, he glared at a warrior who buried his face in his knees.

"He shouldn't get out of the protective cover at the beginning. It is estimated that a lot of points will be deducted," Cedric said following his gaze. "Everyone is here, but you guys, haven't you been caught?"

Harry and the others shook their heads, and Cedric's mouth opened with a smile: "Then you are lucky."

"Mermaids are difficult?" Harry said, trying to keep his voice from being proud. He turned his head and looked beyond the high platform. Hundreds of merfolk surrounded the high platform, but he did not raise much crisis. feel.

"The water is the home ground of mermaids, and they have a set of methods to cooperate." Cedric explained, "They can weave thick and slippery ropes, lassos, and large nets...every one is a sneak attack. Good hand"

Harry stared at the mermaid’s iron-gray skin, dark green long hair like aquatic plants, and cloudy yellow eyes. He had to admit that these words made sense. He and Hermione were also attacked, but just like Cedric. That said, they were lucky enough that there were two people there.

"There are also those Grindillo, who are chasing like a hunting dog. There is a totally different thing between human order and not. These Grindillo can carry out simple instructions, such as holding a rope in their hands... and the more To the back, the more tired we are, we can hardly even use magic." Cedric shook his head and said.

At this time, a ray of silver light broke through the surface of the water and fell straight from the top of the black lake, with a "da da" sound, and lightly landed on the platform.

Felix looked around, and the silver cloak that opened behind him slowly turned into a sparkling spot of light. He calmly announced to the crowd: "The game is over, all warriors stand in the circle, and I will take you back to the land."

He waved his magic wand, and the platform under his feet trembled suddenly, and the outermost stone and sand tremblingly separated. Soon, the white marble platform slowly rose up, and they were shrouded in a translucent luminous cover. If you have to describe it, it's like an enlarged protective cover.

Harry turned his gaze outside, his mood was exceptionally calm, and the fish swam past like a small dart. He even saw a colored ball fish, and he didn't know if it was the one he encountered. only.

Hope it won't be discovered by the mermaid, Harry thought from the bottom of his heart.

The mermaid guards with spears and forks lined up in two lines. The guards were on the left and right. After following a certain distance, they parted ways. Immediately afterwards, they saw the waves jumping above their heads, and with the sound of "pop", they rushed out of the black lake.

The world above the water was dazzling and brilliant, Harry's eyes pierced brightly, tears could not be restrained, and his brain was filled with dazzling white light.

He heard a tumult, the sound getting closer, getting louder and louder, and the buzzing sound became one piece. After a while, he realized that this was the cheers and applause of everyone.

Ludo Bagman’s voice came over in due course

"All the warriors returned safely. Let us cheer. They have been underwater for more than four hours! Ah, I see that Madame Pomfrey has passed."

His voice was hazy, very low, as if there was a layer of things in it.

At this time, Felix stretched out his hand and gently tapped towards the hemispherical light film, and the place where the finger touched quickly burned and vanished. Immediately after a rush of fresh, cool air came in, Felix took a deep breath and smiled at the warriors who breathed the same breath and said, "Warriors, we are here, ready to accept the cheers."

His words were covered by a sudden deafening scream. Harry had never felt that breathing was such a pleasant thing. The voice in the distance became real. Mrs. Pomfrey was anxiously on the shore. Waiting, she rushed up as soon as the marble platform reached the shore.

"Is anyone hurt?" she asked Felix.

"There may be some bruises or bruises. It's not serious. Their problem is too tired." Felix said, watching the all-around warriors, there were a few snoring noises, and there was no warm cheering around. Affect their sleep quality.

"Uh...well," said Madam Pomfrey, taking out a narrow-necked bottle from her medicine chest and filling the warriors with potion one by one, and the Vagado warrior who slept the most drunkly. After that, I turned over and went to sleep.

Madam Pomfrey glared at him, and was stunned for a few seconds before switching to the next person.

"Thank you, Madam Pomfrey." Harry said, swallowing the hot liquid in his mouth. Neither he nor Ron and Hermione showed any expressions of protest, just to get Madam Pomfrey to take their attention away from them. .

"A refreshing agent, maybe something else was added. I tasted the taste of mint." Ron slapped his mouth, and a puff of white steam burst out of his ears and nostrils.

The shore was messy, Percy strode over, clinging to Ron, "I'm going to choke Percy to death by you!" Ron struggled, and Harry saw Sirius and Lupin walking away from the crowd.

Hermione is a little lonely. She hasn't told her parents yet, but maybe she can call Mom and Dad for the third project. A blanket covered her head, and she looked at Professor McGonagall in surprise.

"I think you need a hugProfessor McGonagall said.

"Oh... uh, I think so." Hermione pursed her lips and hugged Professor McGonagall gently. Yu Guangzhong saw Professor Haipu and Dumbledore squatting by the water, talking to the mermaid leader.

Felix saw her gaze sharply, smiled at her, and gave her a thumbs up.

Afterwards, he withdrew his attention and watched in amazement at Dumbledore's mouth with a piercing sound. The mermaid leader also spoke the same language. He muttered to himself, doesn't this mermaid speak English?

Finally Dumbledore stood up straight, "Felix, let's have a meeting with the other referees." The principals got together again, and Fudge and Bagman also rushed over and discussed in a low voice.

Dumbledore relayed the information that the mermaid leader told them, which is different from the picture they can only see through the wrist watch on the warrior's wrist. The mermaid can provide a more three-dimensional and neutral evaluation.

Fudge put himself in an objective perspective and said, "This game is very complicated. Every team has a good performance. Let us first talk about the areas worth paying attention to..."
