Chapter 251 The Mermaid's Test

The giant octopus had seen a lot of food delivered to its door, but this was the first time it had seen food being fed directly into its mouth at such a fast speed.

Although it had just eaten a Grindylo not long ago, it was not very hungry at this moment, but it would be a bit disrespectful to the other party's enthusiasm if it did not eat such an impatient buffet.

So the octopus opened its mouth wide and waited for the precise feeding.

Of course, Rolf did not want to be eaten, but his speed was too fast. Even if he slowed down, he would still fall into the tiger's mouth.

At the critical moment, he sprayed a ball of gas to the right, giving his body a small initial velocity to the left.

So, Rolf's linear acceleration changed to parabolic motion, and his body drew a beautiful arc in the lake, just crossing with the octopus.

Seeing that the food in its mouth was about to slip away, the giant octopus stretched out a tentacle as thick as an arm, and shot at the boy like an arrow.

The tentacle rotated in the water, instantly wrapped around the boy's ankle, and pulled him back fiercely.

Luo Fu calmly condensed an ice blade, raised his hand and chopped off the tentacle.

The severed tentacle fell off Luo Fu's body, still thrashing, and the retracted tentacle had a lot of blue blood oozing out of the broken end, emitting a fishy smell.

Luo Fu was thrown out, and due to the huge momentum, his body spun several times in the water, and there was a sudden ding in his mind.

[Tentacle Sucker]

[Suckers appear on the skin, these suction cups have very strong adsorption ability (task not completed)]

After Luo Fu stabilized his body, he glanced at the system reward. He wanted to go straight to the mermaid village, but he turned around decisively and ran straight towards the octopus.

The Triwizard Tournament... How can it be more important than treating the octopus? He is a veterinarian who saves lives!

In the referee's seat, Ludo's loud voice sounded again, and he said excitedly:

"Scamander was attacked by a giant octopus, and he cut off the tentacles and escaped."

"Is he going to leave? Oh - no - Scamander actually rushed towards the giant octopus."

Under the gaze of all the students, more tentacles shot towards Rolf and successfully surrounded him.

The octopus suddenly tightened its tentacles and tried to tie Rolf up, but unfortunately, it didn't go as planned. The boy was seen turning in the water, dodging and cutting off the tentacles that passed by.

So, the tentacles were like ropes, hanging in the air, and they could never get close to the boy.

The giant octopus's wailing was deafening as its tentacles were constantly cut off. As it twisted its body wildly, it sprayed a large ball of ink, completely polluting the surrounding waters.

Rolf immediately waved his wand and cast a bubble head spell on himself to prevent being paralyzed by the toxin.

When he rushed out of the ink, the giant octopus was no longer in his sight.

That octopus ran away so fast? This is neither science nor magic!

Rolf frowned and looked around carefully. He soon saw a huge river clam floating in the water.

Strangely, a steady stream of blue blood flowed from it.

Rolf smiled and ran straight towards the river clam.

The river clam suddenly swelled up and turned back into a giant octopus. It wanted to repeat the same trick and spray ink again. A water dragon attacked and smashed it into the bottom of the river, bringing a rumbling sound.

The water plants at the bottom of the river grew wildly, completely entangled the giant octopus.

"Giant octopuses are masters of transformation among magical creatures. They can change color and shape at will to simulate the surrounding environment and other creatures." Ludo shouted:

"But it has been discovered. Scamander caught the octopus. Is he going to kill it?"

Rolf certainly won't kill the octopus. After catching it, he will treat its broken tentacles while riding it towards the mermaid village.

With a giant octopus as his vehicle, no magical creature dared to stop him.

He swam deeper and deeper, and soon there were many rough stone dwellings with spots of algae on them.

There were more and more stone dwellings, some of which were surrounded by gardens. Ugly mermaids stood in the gardens, looking at the boy curiously and whispering to each other with their mouths covered.

Rolf had been to the mermaid village before. He walked through the streets and came to the village square with ease.

In the center of the square, a large group of mermaids gathered. Some of them were singing in unison, calling the warriors to come over.

After Rolf landed on the octopus, he smiled at a tall mermaid and said, "Chief Mercus, long time no see."

"Rolf, it's great to see you."

The mermaid leader swam over, hugged Rolf warmly, and kissed his cheek.

This scene made the group of female students watching the game very angry. Where did the ugly monster come from? How dare he take advantage of Rolf like this... Bah, so shameless!

Merkus was indeed ugly. Her eyes were yellow, she wore a string of huge shells around her neck, and she wore clothes made of water plants.

She has a slender cyan tail, scales gleaming with cold light, the skin of her upper body is iron-grey, and her dark green hair is long and unkempt...even more messy than Hermione's.

"It's been two years since you last came to treat Myrcella." Mercus looked at Rolf carefully and said, "You don't come to the bottom of the lake to see me on weekdays."

"I'm quite busy with studies." Luo Fu smiled.

"Did your grandpa come to watch the game?" Merkus said, adjusting his hair.

"No." Luo Fe shook his head, "He is still in the United States."

Mercus was very disappointed when he heard this.

She and Newt are old friends. According to her, when they were young, they were a good match.

Unfortunately, Newt was later expelled from school and left Hogwarts, allowing Tina to take advantage of the situation and pry Newt away.

Of course, Rove had consulted Newt about this statement—in front of Tina.

Naturally, Newt denied it, almost saying that he didn't know Mercus.

Rolf and Merkus chatted for a moment and asked, "Have the other warriors arrived?"

"You're the first," Merkus said. "Did you bring the gift?"

"Bring it with me," said Luo Fe, taking out a handful of ghost grass from his pocket.

There are three things to collect in the first project: Golden Eggs, Dragon Crystal, and Ghost Grass.

According to the song in the golden egg:

Take that gift now,

Come to us,

We will guide you along the way.

And the dragon crystal is used to hatch golden eggs, so the gift can only be the third ghost grass... This cannot be guessed.

"So, where is the treasure I want to take away?" Rolf asked.

He just looked around and didn't see Neville.

"You still have to pass the test of the mermaid before you can find the treasure." Merkus said.

"What test?"

"You'll know when you enter that building." Merkus pointed at a dilapidated house in the distance and said with a smile:

"After you enter, go to the last room and you will naturally find your lost treasure. Go quickly."
