Chapter 167: Underwater rescue

The mermaid leader didn't seem to understand what Jon meant.
"We can't help!" it said in a hoarse voice, and at the same time he touched his long green beard and stepped back...
Seeing Jon raising his wand, the mermaid thought Jon was going to use magic to untie the rope on the hostage he was trying to save.
For magical animals like mermaid, they are quite afraid of magic wands...because they are born with no knowledge of magic.
"Petrificus Totalus!"
Jon raised his wand and pointed it at the mermaid leader, and shouted without hesitation, several blisters popped out of his mouth.
Then a stream of boiling water hit the unsuspecting mermaid leader... Then a few seconds later, its arms slapped against the sides of its body, its tail was erect and standing straight; its entire body became stiff When he got up, he swayed a few times, and then threw himself on the back of the mermaid statue, which looked like a wooden board.
The rest of the mermaids have not reacted yet-
The guardian deity of the iron-eater in the blisters suddenly changed his expression and let out a scream: "Ah..."
The patron saint screamed, and almost consumed all its strength, and the color of his body became a little sluggish. Its cry passed through the bubbles, through the lake, and resounded throughout the mermaid village.
Almost all the fish lowered their heads and covered their ears, and the expression on their faces became painful.
This kind of soul oppression from high-level magical animals is unbearable for them.
...
Taking advantage of the time when the mermaids did not react, Jon used an "expansion curse" and accurately hit the egg of the fire-grey snake floating in the lake.
This fiery red egg wrapped in ice began to puff rapidly...
First it became the size of a football, then it became as tall as a person, and after a few seconds, it was close to the size of a hill.
Moreover, without the traction of the patron saint, the eggs of the fire gray snake began to sink to the bottom... and below it was the village of merfolk.
At the same time, cracks began to appear on the ice block that was covering the eggs... Through the ice block, the eggs of the fire gray snake were dazzlingly red, emitting a fiery light!
Some well-informed mermaids have already recognized what this is.
Fire gray snakes are essentially strange and magical creatures produced by a bunch of unquenched magic fires, and their mission of survival is to find a dark corner to lay their eggs, and then disappear in a few minutes.
And once the eggs of the fire gray snake lose control, especially when an "expansion curse" is cast, they will generate terrifying heat...
Any creature that lives in the ocean is afraid of high temperatures, and mermaids are naturally no exception.
When they saw this "big fireball" about to explode, their first thought was to flee; but when they thought that the following was their village and there was no way to retreat, many merfolk couldn't help but point at the webbed and The wizard of Gill and the strange bear yelled.
Then from all directions, hundreds of merfolk came around. They surrounded the egg of a small fire-grey snake, and used a harpoon to support it from below to prevent it from falling completely into the mermaid village below.
Adult fish can still withstand the heat from the eggs of the fire gray snake; but once it falls into the village below, the mermaid cubs will suffer serious burns.
...
Of course Jon would not be idle.
Taking advantage of the time when the mermaids were all attracted by the eggs of the fire gray snake, he raised his wand towards the four girls:
"Incarcerous??!"
Jon shot a thick rope from the tip of his wand and tied the four girls together.
Then he pointed his wand at the boulder behind them:
"Bone to pieces?? (Reducto)!"
The tail of the mermaid statue was shattered by him, and the four girls floated in the water. Jon took the opportunity to grab the thick rope he had just conjured.
The four of them all seemed to be asleep, their heads shrugged weakly on their shoulders, and a string of thin blisters kept coming out of their mouths...Even such a big movement did not wake them up.
While grabbing the rope, Jon took the opportunity to use his webbed legs and kicked the water hard, swimming towards the surface...
At the same time, he also conjured a big bubble around the four girls...
Under the effect of buoyancy, he did not seem to have much difficulty pulling the four people upstream.
Jon didn't control his direction, he just wanted to float on the water!
At the same time, the patron saint also got under Gabrielle Delacour’s and pushed them up...
Heart-piercing roars came from all around.
The merfolk seemed to have taken the egg of the fire gray snake away from the danger zone.
Their fierce gaze had been fixed on Jon.
Almost a hundred merfolks with harpoons swam in the direction of Jon.
"Ah..." The patron saint let out a fierce howl again.
But this time, the effect will be much smaller.
It only slightly prevented a trace of mermaids from advancing, they continued to surround themselves from all directions.
...
At this moment, on the shore of Lake Hogsmeade.
Madame Maxim pulled Fleur Delacour hard, comforting her.
Furong was completely hysterical, and she was struggling desperately to dive into the water. There are left and right scars on her face and arms, and her robe is also torn...
"Gabriel! Gabriel..." Furong shouted in vain, "I have to save her..."
But it is obviously not easy to break free of Mrs. Maxim's arms.
"Miss Delacour, you have been eliminated and you are not allowed to enter the lake!" Percy Weasley stopped in front and reminded her expressionlessly.
Five minutes ago, Furong was attacked by a group of Grindillo underwater; the poor girl stunned one, and then was caught from behind by the other two... Furong was pinched by two Grindillo fingers. The blisters on the head are also punctured...
Had it not been for Dumbledore to rescue her; I am afraid that in Grindillo's habits, a mutilated female corpse would float on Lake Hogsmeade in a few hours.
But in the same way ~EbookFREE.me~ she also lost the qualification to compete thoroughly.
Suddenly, tons of bubbles appeared in the center of Hogsmeade Lake.
At the same time, there seemed to be a small whirlpool... as if something was floating upwards.
"What's the situation?" Both the audience and the referee were attracted by the strangeness on the water.
"Are they giant squids?" a first-year student exclaimed excitedly: "Don't they usually like potential water?"
Their gazes stared at the strange place on the water.
Only Dumbledore is an exception.
Albus Dumbledore looked in the direction of the castle.
His eyes were full of surprise.
