Chapter 588 Three People Eliminated
"Roar--"
Like a stream of flame spurting out from a fire dragon, the surrounding air was distorted by the high temperature, but the figure in front was instantly swallowed up by the compass, and only a few strands of hair seemed to curl slightly in the high temperature.
Outside the encirclement, there was a tall stand that was already full. In addition to the students of Hogwarts, there were also officials from the Ministry of Magic of various countries, and some teachers and students from eleven magic schools.
On both sides of the stands, there are several huge mirrors, showing the process of the warriors who were sent away by the key to search for the golden egg.
In addition, dozens of blue birds flew up and down around the field, filming the game and broadcasting it to the world.
Although the fog obscured the view of everyone as Wade passed by the Scottish Black Dragon, the white fog did not spread around the compass due to magic.
Therefore, everyone saw that scene—the young man shot out from the cloud-like mist like a sharp arrow, his body almost turning into a shadow, and slapped the compass swiftly and decisively.
Behind him, flames swept in with destructive force, but in the end they were still a step too slow and could only burn the air in vain.
After a brief silence, people's emotions instantly boiled over, and a tsunami of cheers rang out throughout the audience.
The Ravenclaw girls threw away their usual reserve and demeanor, jumping and screaming excitedly: "Did you see that? He did it! He really did it!"
The people who were originally so nervous that they were almost suffocated cheered. No matter whether they were Ravenclaw students or even Hogwarts students, at this moment everyone stood up, waved their arms, and clapped loudly.
Some students hugged each other tightly, their faces filled with pride and pride, and someone shouted loudly: "He is the first! Wade is the first!"
Bagman stood at the commentary desk, his round face filled with excitement and excitement, as if he were in the arena himself. His loud voice spread throughout the entire space -
"Unbelievable! Hogwarts's warrior Weed Grey was the first to pass through the dragon's obstacle and was unharmed! This is really - oh, my God -"
There were bursts of exclamations from the crowd, and some people even let out shrill screams.
Inside the venue, the other six warriors who were still fighting the fire dragon were more or less distracted by the cheers from the stands, and they couldn't help but look towards the location of the compass.
At this moment, Arjun from Mandor was hit by the fire dragon's tail and flew away like a sandbag.
There were several terrible cuts on his chest, blood was splattered, and his wand flew out of his hand. He seemed to have lost consciousness.
At the same time, Isabella of Castrobuse did not completely avoid the fire dragon's flames. Half of her body was on fire and she ran the last part of the distance while enduring the severe pain. Her whole body fell on the compass and disappeared from the spot in an instant.
"Isabella—"
Her friend's shrill screams echoed from the stands.
On the other side, Castrobuse had a student named Artur who was also in the starting lineup. He was playing against the Ukrainian Iron Belly. Hearing the scream, Artur subconsciously looked in the direction of Isabella.
In the heat of battle, a moment of distraction can be fatal.
The Ukrainian Ironbelly was vicious and quick-witted by nature. It did not miss this opportunity and swung its long tail violently, piercing Arthur's stomach directly.
If the wizard who was standing nearby had not swung his wand in time to deflect the Ukrainian Iron Belly's tail at the last moment, the blow would have passed through the center of his chest. In the blink of an eye, three warriors were seriously injured, and there were screams in the stands, but now all the sounds disappeared.
Some people couldn't help but cover their mouths, tears welled up in their eyes, and they murmured in horror: "It's so terrible..."
Fortunately, the rescue team prepared in advance by the Ministry of Magic acted quickly and immediately sent the two seriously injured students out of the stadium. Before leaving, they gestured to the referee's seat, indicating that the two were still alive.
Bagman was also stunned for a moment, and then he blinked and regained his energy when he saw this scene.
"Dear viewers, we just saw some accidents happen in the arena. Mando Academy, Arjun Rajput was eliminated! Castrobushe, Atul Faria was eliminated."
"It's a shame that these two players originally had the strength to compete for the championship, but now their challenge can only stop here."
"Thanks to the Auror rescuers from the Ministry of Magic and the medical team at St. Mungo's, the dragon did not cause fatal injuries to our warriors. They will receive timely treatment."
“I think everyone knows it now – every match is a life-and-death test, and the warriors must be more cautious and give their all – Oh, Castrobushe, Isabella Santos eliminated!”
The audience who were watching the game quickly shifted their gaze to look at the mirror, but they had already missed the scene of Isabella falling down.
All they saw was Vader crouching beside the unconscious girl, picking up her wand and signaling to give up, before an Auror suddenly appeared and took Isabella away.
"Wade Grey didn't go looking for the golden egg, but knocked Isabella unconscious instead?" someone reasonably guessed.
Another student immediately retorted loudly: "Didn't you see the burns on that girl's body? She must have fainted because of the injuries!"
Most people did not dwell on the reason why Isabella was eliminated. They were just nervously paying attention to the remaining three warriors who were still trying to pass the fire dragon, worried that the next person would be injured.
Not many people paid attention to the scene in the mirror - in the dark and complex environment, only Wade Grey was looking for the hidden golden egg. How could this "finding" activity compare to dragon fighting?
……
Whether it's an old boot, a badge, or a compass that looks like it's shining gold, if it's a Portkey, being transported is never a pleasant experience.
After Wade stood firm, he immediately felt a completely different atmosphere.
He appeared in an exceptionally empty, dark, and cold place. The ground was covered with thick moss, and the walls were covered with vines. There was a passage on each side, which seemed to allow him to choose a direction to move forward.
The entrance to the passage was dark, and all sorts of strange noises could be heard from inside, including the sound of wind, water, low murmurs, the creaking sound of teeth grinding, and the sound of iron chains rubbing against the ground.
The faint roar was refracted and echoed many times, and it came over, sounding like a whisper from hell.
If it weren't for the stone pillar that almost melted into the darkness high up, and the giant snake statue coiled on the stone pillar, Vader almost didn't recognize it.
This is not some strange place, but the Slytherin Chamber where the basilisk once lurked.
