There was a loud bang!

Lou Williams' entire upper body was thrown into the air, and his originally fierce eyes suddenly became clear, even glistening with tears.

Chapter 303 The First Warrior to Get the Golden Egg

The audience gasped in unison as they saw Viktor Krum punch a three-headed dog so hard that its tail was almost tucked between its legs!

Viktor Krum didn't expect his punch to hit so hard. He was stunned for a moment after throwing the punch, but he quickly punched Lou Williams in the nose of the dog's head in the middle.

Bang!

"Ooh! Ooh!" The middle dog head of Luwei whimpered in pain, while the two dog heads on the left and right were furious and opened their mouths to bite Viktor Krum again.

Viktor Krum put his wand back in his pocket and, with the help of his top Seeker's abnormal dynamic vision, delivered two heavy punches to Lou Williams' remaining two noses. Lou Williams cried out in pain, tears streaming down his face, and staggered backward.

"Merlin..." Faced with this absurd scene, Ludobagman didn't know how to explain it. What normal wizard could beat a fully grown three-headed dog with his fists?

Even if it's only temporary, could a normal wizard do that?

That three-headed dog's mouth can bite off a third of an adult's body. How can you hit someone with such a tiny fist?

Was it an act?

People in the audience shared similar thoughts.

Viktor Krumm, sitting on the sidelines, didn't froze. Those punches looked impressive, but the size difference between him and Cerberus was still too great. After throwing three punches, he turned and started running.

"Roar!"

Seeing that Viktorklum still dared to approach, the Hungarian hornet in the center of the arena let out another threatening dragon roar.

After Viktorkrum approached the relatively flat ground in the middle, he stared directly into the fierce, beastly eyes of the Hungarian Hornet, his body leaping back and forth in front of the dragon.

At this distance, Lu Wei dared not approach the Hungarian bees any further, while Viktor Krum had plenty of energy to deal with the Hungarian bees in front of him.

Thanks to Viktor Krum drawing Lou Williams' attention, the other three warriors took the opportunity to break through the animals' obstruction and blockade, and reached the center of the amphitheater.

Here, they began to encounter obstacles from animals hiding in the stone path.

These animals have certain restrictions on their range of movement, but their presence will prevent warriors from getting close to the center.

A fire crab appeared in front of Fleur Delacour, its shell spewing flames and completely blocking the path.

Unfortunately, this fire crab had shrunk into its turtle-like shell, rendering her charm ineffective.

She either had to take another route or climb over the rocks to go around it.

Furong peeked out from under the rock and almost met Lu Wei's gaze.

Lou Williams had recovered from the pain in his nose and continued his work, hunting down the Warriors.

On the other side, Cedric Diggory also encountered a fierce macaque imported from a certain Eastern country in front of the stone path. Upon seeing Cedric Diggory, it immediately opened its mouth wide, making a gesture as if it was ready to attack at any moment.

Compared to the bloodshed and carnage of the others, the animals Harry encountered seemed much more harmless, because it was Rocket who blocked his path.

The middle-aged, overweight rocket looks quite large, but its appearance is not at all menacing.

Harry still recognized the chubby raccoon; he would occasionally see Rocket talking to a few centaurs near the Forbidden Forest after Quidditch practice.

This is in the bag!

"Rocket, can I pass by?" Harry said, trying to crouch down and slip past Rocket.

"Cuck!"

Rocket let out a cry, stood upright, and crossed its front paws, indicating that it could not pass.

It had to cause some trouble for the warriors after receiving the "money," otherwise it would be a disservice to that large plate of plump and juicy silkworm pupae.

"Rocket, I'm not kidding, I have to get through here." Harry tried to force his way through, but Rocket nimbly jumped up and kicked him to the ground.

Harry, lying on the ground, looked betrayed, clutching his chest where he had been kicked, his face filled with shock. "It was me, Harry! I even brought you food, Rocket!"

Rocket stared at Harry for a while, then wiggled his hips, turned around, and started scribbling on the ground. He then took two steps forward, revealing the words he had written.

"Taking money to do a job... uh." Harry felt his worldview being slightly shaken again. Rocket had written a string of English words in the dirt on the ground, and he could understand them.

So what should we do now?

Harry looked up at the outside of the rock. Fluffy was still patrolling, and he quickly shrank back as the three dog heads were about to turn around.

He didn't want to get bitten by Lou Williams, so it seemed he had no choice but to take the back road. But if he took the back road, he would have to face the Rockets.

Compared to the animals hiding at other intersections, rockets are obviously easier to deal with.

Looking at Rocket's intelligent eyes, Harry racked his brains and had a bold idea. He cautiously asked, "Hey Rocket, can you help me? I can give you something to eat!"

Helping others before the game starts is cheating, but asking for help after the game has started is making good use of wisdom and strategy!

Rocket scratched the fat on its belly with its claws, then wrote on the ground: cashew, mussel, tuna, crayfish, frog.

Seeing that there was hope, Harry glanced at the things on the ground. Although they were a bit difficult to obtain, they could still be collected, and he nodded repeatedly.

Rocket shook his head, wrote down the unit "pound" under these categories, and then multiplied it by ten, meaning each item would cost 4.53 kilograms.

This is so relatable! It's true that like master, like mistress!

Harry was internally frantic, but in the end he still agreed to this unequal treaty.

Rocket nodded in satisfaction, then crawled on all fours deeper into the path, turning back after a while to signal Harry to follow.

"hold head high!!!"

A painful dragon roar suddenly echoed from the center of the arena.

Viktor Krum made his move, striking the Hungarian Hornet with an Eye Strike spell. Taking advantage of the Hornet's loss of vision and frenzy, he ran under the dragon and picked up a dragon egg.

A deafening roar of cheers immediately erupted from the audience.

"How could this be! The first one to get the dragon egg was Viktor Krum..." Ludobagman shouted in a panic, his ruddy face turning pale in an instant.

Viktorkrum being the first to obtain the dragon egg means his debt will increase by another 2 Galleons!

He clearly didn't realize that his microphone wasn't turned off, and Karkaroff's gaze from the professor's seat grew increasingly hostile.

Hearing the dragon's roar, the remaining three, who curiously peered out and saw Viktor Krum holding the dragon egg, felt a strong sense of urgency.

Hibiscus emerged from the rock. Unable to find a way to cross the fire crab without getting hurt, she could only climb out of the rock first.

Louie spotted her immediately and charged at her, barking wildly.

Cedric Diggory also drew his wand and cast a Stunning Charm at the monkey, but it was dodged.

The monkey picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at Cedric, who covered his head and crawled past the monkey blocking his way.

Harry, led by Rocket, made faster progress and soon reached the edge of the flat ground.

Chapter 304 Rating

Viktor Krum successfully retrieved the golden egg, and a rolled-up blanket flew in from outside the arena, completely wrapping Krum and sending him off the field.

No matter how much Ludobagman gritted his teeth and refused to accept this result, he could only continue his commentary, "Let's congratulate Viktor Krum on becoming the first warrior to get the golden egg."

However, the first event in the Triwizard Tournament wasn't ranked by the speed at which the golden eggs were obtained; instead, it was scored by the three headmasters, myself, and Mr. Weasley together.

The audience all looked toward the main stand, where the first referee was Ms. Maxim, who raised her wand into the air.

A long silver ribbon shot out from the wand, twisting to form a large number 7.

"Whoosh!"

A gasp rippled through the audience. Who would have thought that such an outstanding performance from Viktor Krum would only be worth 7 points in Ms. Maxim's eyes?!

The second person to give a score was Percy, who hesitated before raising his wand and revealing the number 8 in the sky.

This rating is barely reasonable.

Dumbledore then gave it a score of 9, and his fairness won applause from many viewers.

Karkarov undoubtedly scored a perfect 10.

Finally, Ludobagman shamelessly gave it a dismal 3 points, explaining, "We should use more wizarding techniques instead of fighting like Muggles."

Shh~!

People don't buy into that at all; even wizards used to throw wild punches when they were young.

Then, the situation changed again.

Harry rushed toward the dragon egg, hoping to take advantage of the Hungarian Horned Bee's blindness to steal the golden egg.

The Hungarian hornet heard something approaching and frantically swept its tail and claws around, refusing Harry's approach.

The spiky tail nearly tore several holes in Harry, and Hydra, who was silently watching Harry from the stands, was so frightened that she almost jumped into the Colosseum.

Fortunately, before being photographed, Harry rolled backward and hid behind a rock.

Cedric Diggory and Fleur had also shaken off the animals blocking their way and reached the vicinity of the center circle. Lu Wei dared not approach the Hungarian wood beetle and paced back and forth on the high ground.

None of the three seemed to make a move; they stared at each other, as if waiting for their opponent to make the first move.

There are definitely advantages to being the last to act. Harry didn't intend to wait for others to make their move first; he was just calming down, as he was quite excited about almost being hit.

Jimmy, watching from the stands, was sweating bullets for him; that tail lash must have been painful for days.

"Broomsticks, come on!" Harry, hiding behind the rock, pointed his wand at the sky, recited the spell he had been practicing all day, and silently prayed, "It has to come!"

At that moment, Fleur emerged from behind the rock, pointed her wand at the Hungarian bee, and cast a silent spell.

The raging dragon gradually calmed down under Fleur's magic. Fleur Delacour maintained her hypnotic spell and slowly approached the golden egg at the dragon's feet.

Cedric Diggory also wanted to go, but he worried that Fleur's magic would be interrupted by his presence.

The distance between Hibiscus Delacour and the Hungarian tree bee is now less than two meters. If the dragon recovers at this moment, it only needs to move its body slightly, and Hibiscus will turn into Hibiscus sauce.

Fortunately, Veela had a slight advantage, and she successfully picked up the golden egg.

The moment the golden egg was taken away, the Hungarian Hornet, which had been under the pain of the Eye Curse, regained consciousness and spewed a mouthful of flames filled with rage at Fleur Delacour.

Fleur retreated, her face pale. A large stream of water sprayed from her wand, briefly blocking the flames, while a blanket flying from outside the stands swept her away.

Seeing this, Cedric Diggory realized it was the best opportunity and immediately rushed out from his hiding place.

The Hungarian wood wasp, now free from Hibiscus's control, roared and was about to duck when a large dog darted past it.
