Harry Potter: I Am a Legend

Vol 3 Chapter 32: , Diving at the bottom of the lake

After Slughorn finished speaking, before Huffado asked, he pushed his shoulder and pushed him out of the room.

After walking out of the office door. Hoffa couldn't help but glanced back at the door of the potions professor.

From an attitude point of view, the potions professor does not seem to agree with Fatir. But it is too exaggerated to rise to the height of extinction of human beings. And... Hoffa felt that some of Fattier's words were quite reasonable.

Holding the bottle of mermaid potion, Hoffa returned to the shore of the Black Lake.

Here, there are nearly a hundred young wizards and wizards in swimsuits and swimming trunks lying in all directions.

They were all wet, some were coughing water, some were shivering while holding their arms, and some had already set up a fire to keep warm by the fire.

As I watched, another huge octopus tentacles stretched out in the lake and threw a soft girl onto the grass on the lake bank.

She was pale, shivering, and there were still a few water plants stuck in her mouth. As soon as he landed, he vomited a large amount of lake water.

Undoubtedly, these are the students who have not passed the test of Professor Drasses.

Hoffa felt sorry for him. He glanced at the potion in his hand and thought that he could not swim at all. If the potion is not as good as he imagined, then he would continue to go back to school for those mechanical potions and herbal medicines. Already working.

He uncorked the bottle.

There was a pungent odor from the bottle, and it smelled like a fish carcass that had rotted for three days.

Hoffa pinched his nose suspiciously, raised his head and took a sip of the liquid in the bottle.

He looked at his body, and it didn't seem to have changed.

He blinked and realized that something was wrong. His eyelids closed from top to bottom to open and close left and right.

He walked to the lake and looked down.

This look almost shocked him. His eyes had grown at least three times larger, and the faint golden lines were intertwined near a black vertical pupil, completely unlike humans.

He wanted to close his eyes, but found that he couldn't do it. He could only control a circle of film to rub back and forth on his eyelids.

Changes gradually appeared in Hoffa's body, and the hair on his head was entangled in strands, forming a series of gray soft tentacles. A thin web appeared between his fingers, and a wide film appeared under his ribs.

Suddenly, a cheek hole appeared under his neck, a feeling of suffocation surged, and his vision quickly blurred.

He can no longer look at things normally, out of a completely irresistible instinct. He jumped and jumped into the black lake.

At this moment, he really felt what it meant to be like a fish in water. Unlike the desperate fear when he entered the water last year, he now feels as warm as amniotic fluid, as if returning to the state of the most primitive placenta.

The oxygen dissolved in the water exchanges gas with the blood through the capillary walls in the gill filaments, allowing him to breathe abnormally smoothly.

Those eyes that were unusually blurred on land could now clearly distinguish any object within a hundred meters from him.

Blue lines appeared on his back and chest, and his skin began to secrete some unknown substances, which made him extremely sensitive to his surroundings.

A little yellow croaker slowly passed by Hoffa's eyes, the pupils in Hoffa's eyes turned, but his body was motionless like a rock.

At this time, the instinct in the bloodline made him eager to try, he opened his mouth full of sharp teeth, his mouth grinned to the cheekbones, and swallowed a small fish into his throat.

Then reason defeated instinct.

No, I am a human being, not a fish!

He opened his mouth again and spit out the fish.

The little yellow croaker was frightened, and quickly ran away from Hoffa.

He turned his head and looked ahead. With a kick on the ground, he rushed out like a sharp arrow, pressing against the fine white sand on the ground, his spine swayed from side to side, and in a flash he swam hundreds of meters away.

This feels great!

Hoffa tried harder again.

Speed ​​increased again.

The bubbles and water flow were left far behind, and the purple Morat tentacles on the reef at the bottom of the lake were frightened and quickly retracted into the shell.

Like a torpedo, Hoffa caught up with the large crowd in front of him effortlessly.

Because the speed is too fast, he even has a leisure time to observe the surrounding scenery.

The sunlight hits the bottom of the lake 30 feet underwater, and the light is refracted and deformed like a prism. The reefs, germs, shells, corals and some unknown magical creatures at the bottom of the lake are illuminated by this refracted light, and the color changes slightly. , Showing colorful light. Combinations of various tones are interlaced, a beautiful image of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple.

A hundred meters away, the water of the lake was black and blue. Hoffa’s eyes penetrated the gray and treacherous lake, looking at the dark shadows in the distance, where the lake was dark and hazy, and a faint outline of a huge octopus was waving in the black lake. Tentacles.

Above him, countless students swimming hard, they could not reach the depth of Hoffa, the water pressure was too great.

Seeing the crowd swimming with all kinds of magic above, Hoffa had a whim. He kicked the ground, went up, and stopped at a place less than one meter closer to the surface of the water. There happened to be a girl swimming with a school of fish on it.

He was facing up, lying comfortably in the water, leisurely admiring the bodies full of youthful vitality in the water.

He was comfortable, but a certain girl struggling to paddle bowed her head. Seeing the extremely weird mermaid face under him, he was scared to death.

"what!!!"

This scream instantly triggered a chain reaction, and the students who crossed the lake noticed something strange. Look down one after another.

The whole Black Lake is like a fried pot.

The fish leaped in horror, and various spells floated and shot. The curse entered the water and turned into a stream of boiling water.

Hoffa swiftly avoided all kinds of curses. He touched his face and couldn't help but push the extremely frightened girl out of the water. Then disappeared to the bottom of the lake in a blink of an eye, continuing his deep diving journey.

After leaving the frightened crowd, he came to the center of the Black Lake. Here, the scenery in the Black Lake began to change, began to darken, and the lake became deeper and deeper.

Here, Hoffa saw the relics of some of the shipwrecked ships, including iron kitchen utensils, anchors, iron chain links on the tackle, mortars, fragments of astronomical instruments, and a stern railing, on which dark green lake bottom plants grew. .

Not only that, Hoffa also saw some rusty and deformed cages in the algae vegetation on the bottom of the lake towering like a forest. They were floating among the algae and contained some long-decayed bones.

Some bones were chained to their limbs, and they seemed to be all human beings.

This scene made him feel uncertain.

At this moment, he was close to the huge octopus in the black lake, which was waving its tentacles like a dense lake bottom forest.

At this time, a student in the distance was probably exhausted and cramped, sinking straight to the bottom of the lake, and immediately a long tentacle swept across Hoffa’s face.

Although there was not much sound, he still saw the dense suckers and barbs on the tentacles.

This scene made him feel panicked, he moved away with a keen voice, and quickly twisted his body to swim forward. But the super huge octopus didn't look at Hoffa, it closed its eyes, and countless tentacles floated in the water.

If it senses that a student is drowning, the tentacles will extend out, roll up the student, and push him back to the shore.

While swimming directly above it, Hoffa saw the bottomless, layered sharp mouthparts of this stalwart creature. Like a black hole, even in the form of a mermaid, the mouthparts made Hoffa flustered.

There is almost endless surging magic power in this creature. It shouldn't be here. It should live in the sea. Perhaps the Black Lake is just a pond to it.

After passing through the jungle at the bottom of the lake composed of octopus tentacles, Hoffa's speed gradually increased, and he caught up with one student after another. Finally, it flashed past the bottom of the lake like a torpedo, leaving behind a series of bubbles.

After half an hour, he swam more than fifty kilometers to the other end of the Black Lake. At this time, the potion effect on his body gradually disappeared.

With the lake shore close at hand, he climbed onto the grass wet, his body gradually disappeared due to the abnormal changes of the potion.

Here, a few sporadic senior students are resting on the grass out of breath, and a few students are very professionally activating their muscles and adjusting their state. They are all the top ones among this group of Hogwarts students.

Miranda and Aglaia were arranging their hair on the grass, and they talked one after another. They were all taken aback when they saw Hoffa coming out of the water.

At this moment, Hoffa has not fully recovered his human form, and his body surface has the characteristics of a large number of cartilaginous fishes.

Astonished for a while, Miranda asked, "Is that your new transformation technique?"

"No." Aglaia glanced at Hoffa. "Mermaid Potion."

"Hmm." Miranda smiled immediately, "What is a mermaid potion, tell me about it."

Aglaia reflexively wanted to make a long talk and show off her rich knowledge of potions, but seeing Hoffa looking at her, she abruptly suppressed her desire to speak. Turned his head and looked at the lake.

Miranda made a face at Hoffa and shook her head helplessly.

The changes in the medicine on Hoffa's body at this moment have almost disappeared, his eyes have returned to their normal human state, and the surrounding scenery has gradually become clear.

The lake is very, very far away from Hogwarts, and the castle can hardly be seen, but here, you can see patches of giant boulders. There are endless Scottish mountains.

Hoffa often overlooked here when he was in the Ravenclaw common room, but it was the first time he really came here.

On the grass not far from the lakeshore, there are two tables covered with large canvases. The surface of the table is slightly raised, and I don't know what is covered underneath.

And on the grass next to the table, the young-looking Professor Fatiel De La Cess was leaning on a boulder, swallowing clouds and fog. He neither chatted with his daughter nor with the students who had successfully crossed the lake. .

He looked at the sky, his whole person showed a state of extreme emptiness, it seemed that his spirit had been swallowed by something.

About thirty minutes later, another group of wizards who had successfully crossed the lake crawled out of the black lake out of breath. There were about a dozen of them, and they collapsed to the ground as soon as they got ashore, their chests undulating violently.

At this time, Professor De La Cess stood up, walked through the crowd, came to the shore of the lake, and looked at the lake without squinting.

It was getting dark gradually, and no one came over the lake.

A lake crossing ceremony eliminated 90% of the people, and only less than 10% remained.

Looking at the shore of the lake, Drasses sighed deeply. He extinguished the smoke, rubbing his temples with a bit of pain. Finally, he turned around and clapped his hands.

At this moment, the moonlight was born, and the lines of Professor Draceth's face seemed to soften against the moonlight, and Hoffa discovered that he and Aglaia were surprisingly similar in their facial contours. Except for the different eye colors, he is almost like his daughter's twin brother.

"Tired?" His voice was hoarse but soft.

The crowd didn't answer, they just looked at him directly, wondering what course he would offer.

"You are very good. Those who can walk here must have found some unusual fun in the just crossing the lake. From now on, in every class of mine, you have to learn to deal with chaos and the unknown."

He waved his magic wand, and dots of light flew around, illuminating the grass on the shore of the lake. Everyone's shadows were on the ground to shadow Chuochola's old elders. There was a rustling sound from the wooden table behind him, and the magic curtain was slowly opened.

With the student's exclaim, Hoffa's pupils shrank. Yes, he saw nearly ten juvenile fire dragons, curled up on a row of wooden tables, blowing smoke from their mouths and noses.

Fatir looked proudly: "Dragon. One of the top predators in the magical world, the fastest way to become an elite creature is undoubtedly to observe the top predators and grow with it."
