Chapter 691 The Mermaid’s Test
The giant octopus has seen a lot of food delivered to the door, but this is the first time it has seen food delivered directly to its mouth at such a fast speed.
Although I just ate a Grindylow not long ago, I'm not too hungry now, but when faced with such an impatient buffet, not eating would be a bit disrespectful of the other party's enthusiasm.
Therefore, the octopus opens its mouth wide and waits for precise feeding.
Of course, Luofu didn't want to be eaten, but his speed was too fast. Even if he slowed down, he would still be in the tiger's mouth.
At the critical moment, he sprayed a ball of gas to the right, giving his body a slight initial velocity to the left.
As a result, Rove accelerated his motion from a straight line to a parabolic motion. His body drew a graceful arc in the lake water, just passing by the octopus.
Seeing that the food in its mouth was about to slip away, the giant octopus stretched out a tentacle as thick as an arm and shot at the boy like an arrow.
The tentacles spun around in the water and instantly wrapped around the boy's ankle, pulling him back hard.
Luofu calmly gathered an ice blade, raised the knife and cut off the tentacle with one stroke.
The severed tentacle fell off from Luofu's body and was still fluttering. When the tentacle was retracted, a large amount of blue blood oozed out from the broken part, exuding a fishy smell.
Luo Fu was thrown out. Due to the huge momentum, his figure spun several times in the water. There was a sudden clang in his mind.
[A wild giant octopus was detected, triggering side task 1:]

【Tentacle sucker】
[Suction cups appear on the skin, these suction cups have very strong adsorption capacity (the task is not completed)]
After Luo Fei stabilized his body, he glanced at the system reward. He originally wanted to go straight to the Mermaid Village, but now he decisively turned around and ran straight towards the octopus.
The Triwizard Tournament...it's not as important as treating the octopus, he is the veterinarian who saves lives!
On the referee's bench, Ludo's loud voice sounded again, and he said excitedly:
"Scamander was attacked by a giant octopus and managed to escape by cutting off his tentacles."
"Is he ready to leave? Oh - no - Scamander actually charged at the giant octopus."
Under the watchful eyes of all the students, more tentacles shot towards Rove, successfully surrounding him.
The octopus suddenly tightened its tentacles, trying to tie up Luo Fu, but unfortunately, the boy was seen tossing and turning in the water. While avoiding it, he cut off the tentacles that passed by him with a knife.
As a result, the tentacles were like ropes, hanging in the air, unable to get any closer to the young man.
As its tentacles were cut off repeatedly, the giant octopus let out a loud wail. While twisting its body crazily, it spewed out a large ball of ink, completely polluting the surrounding waters.
Rove immediately waved his wand and cast a head soaking spell on himself to prevent him from being paralyzed by poison.
When he rushed out of the ink, the giant octopus was no longer in his field of vision.
That octopus escaped so fast? This is neither scientific nor magical!
Luofu frowned and looked around carefully. He soon saw a huge river clam floating in the water.
The strange thing is that a steady stream of blue blood flows from it.
Luofu smiled and ran straight towards the clam.
The river clam suddenly swelled and turned into a giant octopus. It wanted to repeat its old trick and spurt out ink. A water dragon came over and smashed it into the river bottom, causing a rumble.
The aquatic plants at the bottom of the river grew crazily and completely entangled the giant octopus.
"Giant octopuses are masters of transformation among magical creatures. They can change color and shape at will to simulate the surrounding environment and other creatures." Ludo said loudly:
"But it has been discovered. Scamander has caught the octopus. Is he going to kill it?"
Of course, Luofu would not kill the octopus. He would just catch it and treat its broken tentacles while riding it towards the mermaid village.
With a giant octopus as his vehicle, no magical creature would dare to stop him.
He swam deeper and deeper, and soon there were many rough stone dwellings all around, speckled with algae.
There are more and more stone dwellings, and some of them are surrounded by gardens. Ugly mermaids stand in the gardens, looking at the boy curiously, and whispering to each other with their mouths covered.
Luofu had been to Mermaid Village before, and he walked through the streets with ease and came to the village square.
In the center of the square, a large group of mermaids gathered, and some of them were singing in unison, calling for the warriors to come over.
After Roof landed on the octopus, he smiled at a tall mermaid and said, "Chief Mercus, long time no see."
"Rolph, it's good to see you."
The mermaid female leader swam over, hugged Rolf warmly, and kissed him on the cheek.
This scene made the group of female students watching the game very angry. They were so ugly that they dared to take advantage of Luo Fu like this... Bah, how shameless!
Merkus was indeed ugly. Her eyes were yellow, she wore a string of huge shells around her neck, and she wore clothes made of water plants.
She has a slender cyan tail, scales gleaming with cold light, the skin of her upper body is iron-gray, and her dark green hair is long and disheveled...even more messy than Hermione's.
"It's been two years since you last came to treat Myrcella." Mercus looked at Rolf carefully and said, "You don't come to the bottom of the lake to see me on weekdays."
"I'm quite busy with studies." Luo Fu smiled.
"Did your grandpa come to watch the game?" Merkus said, adjusting his hair.
"No." Luo Fe shook his head, "He is still in the United States."
Mercus was very disappointed when he heard this.
She and Newt are old friends. According to her, when they were young, they were a good match for each other.
Unfortunately, Newt was later expelled from school and left Hogwarts, allowing Tina to take advantage of the situation and pry Newt away.
Of course, Rove had consulted Newt about this statement—in front of Tina.
Naturally, Newt denied it, almost saying that he didn't know Mercus.
Rolf and Merkus chatted for a moment and asked, "Have the other warriors arrived?"
"You're the first," Merkus said. "Did you bring the gift?"
"Bring it with me," said Luo Fe, taking out a handful of ghost grass from his pocket.
There are three things to collect in the first project: Golden Eggs, Dragon Crystal, and Ghost Grass.
According to the song in the golden egg:
Take that gift now,
Come to us,
We will guide you along the way.
And the dragon crystal is used to hatch golden eggs, so the gift can only be the third ghost grass... This cannot be guessed.
"So, where is the treasure I want to take away?" Rolf asked.
He just looked around and didn't see Neville.
"You still have to pass the test of the mermaid before you can find the treasure." Merkus said.
"What test?"
"You'll know when you enter that building." Merkus pointed at a dilapidated house in the distance and said with a smile:
"After you enter, go to the last room and you will naturally find your lost treasure. Go quickly."
