Inside the maze.

John was running wildly in the darkness.

Michelle's sudden disappearance made him extremely anxious, and he could only conduct a quick search of the surrounding maze.

"boom--"

A sphinx suddenly jumped out from the corner ahead.

Its body is like a frighteningly large lion, with huge paws, a long yellow tail, and a tuft of hair on the tip of its tail.

But it has the head of a woman.

John could guess with his heels that this monster from Egypt must be Hagrid's handiwork.

It looked down at John with its long almond-shaped eyes, and raised the corners of its mouth in a very humane way:

"You are very close to your goal, but if you want to pass here, you must answer my riddle. If you guess it once, I will let you... Hey! Wait! What are you doing? Stop..."

"The Divine Edge is Shadowless!"

"laugh--"

The invisible blade swept past, and the Sphinx's panicked voice suddenly stopped.

A head fell to the ground.

Then the Sphinx's huge body also collapsed.

With blood splattering, John quickly ran over the Sphinx's body towards the next fork.

During this whole process, John didn't slow down at all, not even blinking.

He doesn't have time to play these puzzle games now.

Yes, that's right.

The levels in the maze designed by Hogwarts professors and Ministry of Magic staff may seem difficult to other warriors, and some may even be life-threatening if not handled correctly.

But in John's opinion, it's really just a boring little game with no difficulty at all.

Is the Poison Horned Beast strong?

It's really strong.

But it is not flexible enough. Even without Michelle, John can easily kill it with a kite.

Or just avoid it.

The Sphinx is actually not weak either.

At least a normal little wizard would die if he encountered it.

It is also a big trouble for ordinary warriors.

But it has no anti-magic properties at all, and it can be killed with just one shot of [Shen Feng Wu Ying].

If the Hogwarts audience outside the venue knew that John would perform such a terrifying performance, they would definitely scream, cheer, and almost faint with excitement.

Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, the Triwizard Tournament committee did not absorb the negative feedback from the audience in the second event, and still chose a closed competition in the third event.

Moreover, John doesn't need an audience.

He just pushed all the way and swept the surrounding maze area.

When encountering magical animal levels, kill them instantly if you can. If you can't kill them instantly, rely on the magic power increase and the speed brought by enhancers to get past them.

Encountering the magic trap level set by Flitwick and McGonagall, John directly broke through violently.

If you encounter Snape's potion trap, take out the corresponding antidote directly from the deformed lizard skin wallet to break it.

Unfortunately, he swept through a large area of ​​the maze, but still found no trace of Michelle!

It wasn't until a large mass of magical fog was broken through again that a human figure appeared in front of John for the first time.

And there are two of us!

John was overjoyed subconsciously.

However, of course, when he saw the faces of the two people in front of him clearly, the look of surprise on his face turned into gloom and solemnity.

Because those two people are Harry and Crouch!

Harry was obviously knocked unconscious.

Crouch was carrying him deeper into the maze.

A guy who had taken sick leave a long time ago, almost completely separated from the Triwizard Tournament process, and even gave up his position as a referee for the third event this time, suddenly appeared in the maze, carrying Ha

profit!

Moreover, Crouch was one of the suspects in the murder of Rita Skeeter!

Seeing this scene in front of him, John was ready for battle almost immediately.

at the same time.

Crouch also spotted John chasing after him.

He was startled at first and almost attacked directly.

But when he saw clearly that the person coming was John, a warm and bright smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"It's John, you came just in time." Crouch said friendlyly, "It's not convenient for me to carry Harry Potter. Can you help me solve the previous levels? In this way, you can't look back.

I can share some of the credit."

John frowned.

He had no idea what Crouch was talking about.

But it doesn't matter.

Just make sure that the Crouch in front of you is not a good person.

With a flick of the wand, John was ready to attack.

At this moment, a huge fireball suddenly fell from the sky.

John reacted extremely quickly, adjusting the direction of his attack almost instantly, and smashed it into pieces with one shot of [Shen Feng Wu Ying].

But the chopped fireball did not dissipate directly like ordinary magic.

Instead, as if he was still under control, it exploded into a prison of fire in mid-air, imprisoning John entirely.

These continuously burning flames are somewhat similar to [Fire Fire] in nature.

John tried a variety of methods in a short period of time, including [Clear Spring and Flowing Water], but was unable to shake it at all.

Only [Shen Feng Wu Ying] could have some impact on it.

But it is also a fantasy to completely extinguish it in a short period of time.

Gritting his teeth, John kept waving his wand and continued to use [Shen Feng Wu Ying] to try to break through.

Now that the culprit of everything is right in front of him, he must grit his teeth and persist.

"Oh! I knew it would be like this."

At the same time, Moody walked out of the shadows with his wand.

He looked at John, who was shrouded in flames, with a rather complicated look in his eyes.

"Why did you come just now?" Crouch said with a confused look on his face, "Also, are you two having a conflict?"

Moody glanced at Crouch and said:

"The child is disobedient...probably because he has reached his rebellious stage."

"Ha! Rebellion period!"

Crouch seemed to have thought of something very funny, and laughed and said, "Children do have a rebellious period, but you shouldn't just lock him up in a fire cell, right? And you use a sneak attack!

Aren’t you the same as my father? I think back then, he also locked me in a cage... But it doesn’t matter anymore, he will never be able to control me now anyway! What a blessing! What a joy to congratulate! Hahaha——

"

Crouch laughed more and more crazily.

Moody shook his head, flicked his wand, and cut a small gash on Harry's arm.

Blood gushed out from the wound and was controlled by magic and put into a small bottle.

"You can just take this to the next place."

Moody handed the small bottle to Crouch and said.

"Why do you do this?" Crouch frowned, "He will be angry..."

Moody interrupted:

"The plan has changed. If you go back with blood, at least the plan can succeed. If you try to capture Harry Potter alive, then we are all doomed! So, which one do you choose?"

Crouch closed his mouth, his expression was fierce and crazy, as if he would pounce on him like a mad dog the next moment.
To be continued...
