Ghoul
Chapter 596 Ghoul
Wade's parents were naturally watching the live broadcast of the game.
Prior to this, the two had also learned about the situations in previous tri-wizard tournaments and knew that most of the time, the content of the first project would always be simpler, and there had even been written tests in the past.
Therefore, at the beginning, the Grays were more relaxed.
They sat on the sofa early waiting to watch the live broadcast. Fiona also picked up a half-knitted sweater and prepared to knit a sweater for her son while watching the game, which would be a perfect Christmas gift for him.
However, as soon as the game started, a deafening roar was heard, followed by a ferocious-looking fire dragon spewing out a long flame.
Ferdinand: “…”
Fiona: "..."
The two were completely stunned. The knitting needle fell from Fiona's hand. She swallowed and saw Wade walking out of the entrance, tears instantly welled up in her eyes.
Compared to the fire dragon, the fourteen-year-old boy looked so thin, weak and innocent.
The couple held their breath, as if any heavy breathing would disturb their son. They didn't dare to speak at all. They just held each other's hands tightly, trembling all over as they watched the fire dragon open its mouth and let out a hot roar at the boy.
The flames instantly covered the entire screen!
But a moment later, Vader passed the fire dragon unharmed, entered the secret room, and easily found the golden egg.
Before the Grays could completely relax, they saw Wade ambush other contestants.
"What is Vader doing? We're already ahead!"
Fiona said worriedly, clutching the cuffs of her sweater.
Ferdinand managed to remain calm and said: "He must have his own ideas..."
One, two, three...the contestants who entered the passage fell down without any resistance.
Fiona stared at the mirror intently, repeatedly torn between "anxiety" and "relief", pinching her palms and muttering:
"Alright...alright...quickly take the golden egg and leave! The more contestants come in, the more dangerous you will be..."
Ferdinand sighed, put his broad palm over her tense knuckles, gently opened her red palm, and said:
"Don't worry, Wade is smarter and more cautious than us. He must have thought it through before doing this."
As he spoke, his fingers were cold and trembling slightly.
Afterwards, the two saw that Wade not only did not leave the secret room, but went deeper into it, collected all the golden eggs, and even placed a scary-looking ghoul at the entrance, and made a place that looked like a nest to put the golden eggs in.
Fiona was extremely worried. She suddenly got angry and stood up and cursed:
"This - this - this brat who doesn't know his place! Who does he think he is? A giant dragon guarding a treasure? Just wait! You just wait! When you come back this time, I will definitely -"
Before she could finish her words, she took a sharp breath and clutched the clothes on her chest tightly with both hands.
Several players approached where Vader was, and the FMC director gave up on the exciting shot of the warriors challenging the fire dragon, and froze the picture in this dim secret room.
……
"laugh--"
The spider web was torn apart, and the spider that was originally flaming with its fangs and claws had been burned to charcoal, lying in the corner with its eight legs facing up.
Furong looked at the sticky spider silk with disgust, and only leaned over to take a look after Ryan dragged the person out.
"It's Seraphina." Ryan checked her and pulled out his wand: "She must have been under a coma spell. I'll wake her up first."
The expressions of several other people changed slightly.
This way there are two people in Ilvermorny, which is a bit disadvantageous for them.
But then, everyone remembered that there was a man named Ved Grey waiting ahead who dared to challenge everyone.
Although he is alone, his alchemy can create more helpers for himself. Seraphina is quite powerful, and with one more person in the team, everyone has a better chance of winning.
Under the effect of the resuscitation spell, Seraphina slowly opened her eyes. She was confused for a moment, and her expression was fixed: "Ryan?"
The girl looked around and asked, "Did Wade leave with the golden eggs?" "No." Ryan pulled his teammates up from the ground and said with a wry smile, "Let's go... He is still here, but he took all the golden eggs. If we want to continue the competition, we must go find him."
Seraphina followed everyone into the depths of the passage. She was silent for a long time over the harmonious atmosphere of this makeshift team, and then she asked in confusion: "...Why did he do that?"
"Show your strength?" Asada Chinatsu said calmly, "For some people... winning the game is not enough."
"And then? What does he want?" Amina said angrily, "Eliminate all of us, leaving only him in the end, so that he can lock in the championship in advance?"
She cast a fire spell, burning Kaba, who was hiding in the vines and preparing for a sneak attack, and made him scream in pain.
"I don't think so, because the contestants in the other channel did not encounter this kind of 'screening'." Asada Chinatsu said: "Maybe... he has other 'battlefields' besides the competition?"
"What do you mean?" Furong raised her chin slightly, looked down at the thin Chinatsu Asada, and asked.
"I don't know...I just have this feeling." Chinatsu Asada said vaguely.
Furong didn't take her answer seriously, because at this moment, everyone had smelled a strange smell.
The stench of a rotting ghoul hit me in the face, and soon after, it dragged an iron chain, its hunched body poking its head out from the corner, and its sharp claws made a harsh sound as they scraped against the stone wall.
"How disgusting." Fleur frowned in disgust, her wand already raised.
"Collapse!"
The spell hit the ghoul in the chest, but it didn't knock it out. It just took a few steps back and hit the wall.
"Roar--"
The ghoul roared and ran towards everyone quickly.
Di Ge took the lead and drew a sharp arc with his wand: "Split into pieces!"
A withered arm flew out, but the zombie just froze for a moment and continued to pounce on the crowd.
At the same time, Amina shouted angrily: "The flames are blazing!"
Ryan said hurriedly: "Don't!"
A beam of red fire gushed out, instantly igniting the zombies. The moment the flames touched the rotten flesh, a creepy "sizzling" sound erupted, and thick black smoke, carrying the stench of the corpse, hit everyone's face head-on.
"Ah ah!"
Fleur screamed and quickly cast a Bubble Head Charm on her head; Amina took a breath unexpectedly and immediately bent over to vomit. The rest of them immediately covered their mouths and noses and waved their wands:
"The water is as clear as a spring!"
"The wind is dancing wildly!"
"Shattered to pieces!"
"There are many obstacles!"
"boom!"
The burning zombie suddenly stopped and exploded, and the pieces of rotten flesh were swept in all directions by the whirlwind. The water was caught in it, extinguishing part of the flames, but also splashing the rotten fluid everywhere.
"Ah ah ah ah ah--"
Several people couldn't help screaming and hurriedly dodged the biological weapons, but they were still splashed with some.
Seraphina was about to cry. She looked at Ryan with tears in her eyes and asked in a sobbing voice: "Why did you use the wind spell?"
Ryan lowered his head guiltily: "I'm sorry... I originally wanted to blow away the stink..."
Amina & Furong: "Ugh—"
In the secret room ahead, Wade opened his eyes and looked at the entrance in surprise.
Just a ghoul...it sounds like it made them look miserable?
