The fishman took Hu Xiuwu and the six warriors' "treasures" deep into the Black Lake.

Surrounding the six men of Hu Xiuwu, in addition to the murloc leader holding a trident and the murloc guards with double forks, there are also a group of green-skinned murlocs with lower bodies like squids and upper bodies like little fangs.

Grindylow of the Villain.

These grindylows are tame pets of fishmen, and usually help fishmen protect their homes and hunt.

However, there are actually no dangerous creatures in the Black Lake. The Black Lake is farther away from Hogwarts than the Forbidden Forest. Students often walk, study, and go on dates by the Black Lake.

It is impossible for Hogwarts to allow dangerous creatures that may harm students to appear in the school lake.

In the past, these murlocs and Grindylows were already considered the overlords in the Black Lake, so the vigilance and patrol work of these Grindylows was not in place at all.

Sometimes they even take off their posts, and from time to time they dive into the seaweed to prey on small fish hiding in the swaying seaweed. It's like a husky that looks like a wild wolf. It looks ferocious, but in fact it's not like that at all.

This group of Grindylows are unreliable, but the fish-men's secret medicine is still very useful. Except for Hu Xiuwu, the other five people are really in a coma, but they are all safe and even sleeping.

It's sweet.

As tenants of Hogwarts, the murlocs are very cautious towards students. If something happens to the students here, these murlocs will most likely be stewed into fish soup by Dumbledore.

The remaining 20% ​​possibility is that Dumbledore might have added chili peppers when stewing fish soup.

There is no light in the lake, and the deeper you go down, the deeper it becomes, as if you are constantly going deeper into an abyss. The bottom of the lake is also surrounded by reefs, just like the Gobi Desert in the northwest.

The Black Lake is called a lake, but in fact, like the Dead Sea, it does not live up to its name.

The Dead Sea is a saltwater lake, and the Black Lake is actually an excellent harbor surrounded by mountains on three sides, with only one side connected to the sea. The people from Durmstrang took a boat from the bottom of the Black Lake to Hogwarts.

If it hadn't been for the Muggle expulsion spell cast by wizards here, such an excellent natural dock would have been developed by the British Muggle government into a large port that handles millions of tons of cargo every day.

The fishman led them to the bottom of a deep and dark black lake. The black lake was far deeper than Hu Xiuwu imagined. The ravines at the bottom of the lake were intertwined like valleys, and swaying water plants grew on the stone walls.

Where the fish people live, in addition to various reefs and aquatic plants, there are also piles of ancient shipwrecks. The shipwrecks are stacked on top of each other to form an underwater town. The wooden ship planks and masts are covered with rainbows and barnacles.

This is also one of the food sources for the murlocs. The rainbows and barnacles growing on the ship are the murlocs’ crops, just like the farmland of humans on land.

After pulling the six people into the central square of the shipwreck town, the fishmen tied the six people's ankles with the ropes they had prepared long ago, making the six people sway like seaweed on the bottom of the lake like sunken buoys.

.

The leader of the murlocs sent out a group of merlocs and Grindylows who were looking at each other, circling around the six people like a shoal of fish.

There were still several hours before the start of the game. The others had really fallen into a deep sleep and could not feel the passage of time. However, Hu Xiuwu was awake. The lake was dark and monotonous, and he could not move at will.

However, Hu Xiuwu did not feel bored, and even enjoyed it.

After entering the water, he already discovered that the spiritual energy at the bottom of the black lake was surprisingly rich. The concentration of spiritual energy above the lake surface and below the lake surface were completely different concepts.

This seemingly ordinary lake actually has locked spiritual energy. The difference in concentration of spiritual energy above and below the lake is just like the difference in air quality between Sijiu City and Zhelong Mountain. It is a world of difference.

No wonder there is still a lineage of murlocs left in Hogwarts after all the friends in the South China Sea have been extinct. In an aura environment with such a concentration, even a man with extensive experience like Hu Xiuwu has only seen it in his life.

Been there once.

Hulu Cave at the foot of Zhelong Mountain,

The cave heaven paradise created by relying on the exotic treasure and the unique geographical environment, where you can practice cultivation with half the effort, but it is a pity that the exotic treasure, the three-legged purple toad, was swallowed by the big red snake.

Every time he mentioned this matter to Chen Duo and Hu Xiuwu, Liao Zhong still looked regretful.

Hu Xiuwu did not expect that he would encounter such a paradise for the second time. Of course, he must take this opportunity to practice hard.

However, just soaking in the water for a few hours was not enough for Hu Xiuwu. It didn't feel monotonous. He was now thinking about whether to spend all his time at Hogwarts soaking in the Black Lake.

Under the black lake, Hu Xiuwu was practicing peacefully.

On the Black Lake, preparations for the game were also in full swing. Warriors on the platform came to the center of the Black Lake in wooden boats one after another.

The warriors, except Harry, had all arrived early.

Cedric moved his body to warm up his body and avoid sudden cramps when he entered the water. Fleur was still holding her wand and reviewing the head-soaking spell she had just learned a while ago, which was used to move underwater.

Viktor Krum seemed to be talking calmly to his principal, Ingor Karkaroff, but you must know that he has never been a good talker, and he rarely talked with people for such a long time.

to talk to people.

The reason why the warriors from the three schools are so nervous is actually due to Zhang Lingyu and Hu Xiuwu.

After the first competition was over, there were naturally close friends who told these warriors how the other warriors had overcome the challenge, just like Hermione told Harry how the others had overcome the challenge.

Zhang Lingyu defeated the fire dragon, which was naturally the focus of the story. When they heard that no one came to rescue Zhang Lingyu when he faced the Dragon Flame Pavilion, they were all frightened.

It turns out that the Ministry of Magic really refused to rescue him until he got the golden egg!

The British Ministry of Magic is serious this time!

The rest of the warriors had no interest in having fun anymore. Fleur and Cedric, seventeen-year-old boys who were not yet underage, really felt the oppressive feeling of death.

Obviously the second game seemed easier than the first game, but the three of them were still more nervous than before.

In other words, Mike Lucas and Zhang Lingyu are both brave and talented people, and they are really calm.

In addition to the warriors present, there were also referees and Aurors from the Ministry of Magic on the platform, as well as Fudge, the Minister of Magic. How could he be absent from such a grand event, especially now that he and Dumbledore had a somewhat tense relationship.

After feeling cold.

He also wants to demonstrate his authority and let everyone know that he is not Dumbledore's vassal.

Kingsley had also arrived here a long time ago and quietly informed Dumbledore about Hu Xiuwu.

Dumbledore felt that it was expected when he heard what Kingsley said in a slightly ashamed tone. After just listening to Barty Crouch tell what the treasures of the warriors designated by the Ministry of Magic were, he had some idea.

Expected.

Dumbledore in turn comforted Kings and told him not to worry.

Dumbledore did not attach much importance to the results of the Goblet of Fire. At the same time, he also believed that Hu Xiuwu and Zhang Lingyu would not cheat during the game and ruin the sign of the Tianshi Mansion. Orientals pay attention to this, which seems to be called being free from inner demons.

.

In addition, there are still people secretly playing tricks on the Goblet of Fire this time. It is not necessarily a bad thing to let a powerful Eastern wizard stay awake underwater.

The cold wind in the morning receded slightly, and Harry, with a slightly uneasy expression on his face, followed his roommate Neville and arrived in a small wooden boat.

Harry became a warrior due to conspiracy. According to the standards of the Goblet of Fire warriors, his magic level was far below the standard, so he had never learned the necessary Bubble Charm for the second test.

Although he has great talent, he has not yet reached the level of Dumbledore and Hu Xiuwu. In just a few days, it is impossible for Harry to catch up with the witchcraft level of the other warriors, and he can only use foreign objects.
