Hogwarts: I'm the only cultivator here!

But he had already used up a lot of his defensive talismans because of the shockwave, and the opponent was not just one person, but a group of people, so Harry's first thought was to run.

That's what he thought, and that's what he did. As for Ye Feng, the instigator of this whole thing... he ran even earlier than Harry, which was a major reason why Harry felt ice-cold all over, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Given the current situation, even a fool could tell that this was definitely related to Ye Feng. And yet, when this matter involved him, he ran away immediately. There's no doubt that something fishy is going on.

So Harry ran away too, but he still had some conscience. While running away, he saw Cedric, Fleur, and Krum heading this way, so he stopped and briefly told them what had happened.

After hearing Harry's words, Cedric turned and ran without hesitation, leaving Fleur and Krum looking at each other in bewilderment.

However, their faces quickly became solemn.

"If what they say is true, then it is very likely that Voldemort or his Death Eaters have already entered the Triwizard Tournament by means of the trophy."

“If they manage to infiltrate Hogwarts, the entire school will be in danger. We must stop them.”

"But... Cedric and the others have all run away, can the two of us manage it?"

Upon hearing Krum's words, Hibiscus's delicate body stiffened slightly.

"Yes, with our strength, can we really stop them? But even so, we can't just let it go."

“Since we can’t stop them, let’s send someone who can. So, Krum… we must abandon the game, leave the maze, and tell the headmaster and the others about this.”

Under normal circumstances, Krum and Fleur would definitely have been able to calm down and realize that something was wrong.

For example, why did Harry and his friends, who were clearly stronger than them and were the first to know about this, run away immediately, while Cedric simply listened and then ran away, without anyone trying to stop them or report the matter?

Unfortunately, Voldemort's reputation is so great that even now, most people at Hogwarts still turn pale at the mention of his name, and only a very few are truly unafraid of it.

So, upon hearing the name Voldemort, they were already somewhat flustered, and when people panic, their minds become clouded, so they didn't notice anything amiss.

Because they hadn't discovered these things, and because although they were panicked, they weren't stupid, they didn't rush in to their deaths. Instead, they joined forces and rushed out of the maze, wanting to inform the principal of the Third Academy so that they could handle the situation.

Yes, they joined forces, because the entire maze had now become a sea of ​​plants, which were now moving forward and frantically waving their branches even when nothing was passing by.

The maze's passages weren't very wide to begin with, and now that the plants had gone 'crazy,' the narrow passages were practically impassable. So, if they wanted to get out, the two of them would have to work together and fight their way out.

Fortunately, their nearly one year at Hogwarts wasn't wasted. By following the Hogwarts students, their magical skills improved considerably, and with occasional sparring, they could easily wield various spells.

In addition, they had bought a lot of talismans over the past year, so they quickly made their way to the exit of the maze.

Seeing the light representing the exit, Krum and Fleur, whose faces were covered in sweat, both smiled. After exchanging a glance, they smiled and waved their wands as they rushed toward the exit.

"Boom~"

"what!"

Very quickly, with a thud, Fleur and Krum, still smiling, crashed into a transparent, invisible, yet tangible wall.

"Hiss~ What's going on? Did we bump into something?"

Filled with deep doubt, the two got up from the ground, and after they cautiously groped their way forward a few steps, they found that they were outside.

Although the exit was within reach, an invisible and intangible 'wall' blocked their way, and in the following minutes they tried several methods and magic, but none of them worked.

At the same time, as Fleur and Krum rushed out, the light emanating from the Triwizard Tournament trophy reached its peak, and then the extremely bright light suddenly disappeared.

When the light faded, a bewildered Voldemort and his Death Eaters stood where Harry had just been.

"What...what's going on?" Looking at the maze around them, Voldemort and the Death Eaters were completely bewildered. Just as they were still trying to figure out what was happening, the surrounding plants began to grow wildly and quickly filled the gap in the maze created by the shockwave.

The moment Voldemort and his men entered the maze, Ye Feng's lips curled up slightly.

"Old Voldemort, welcome to the maze battlefield. Your favorite little Harry is here. If you win, you can take him home. Hope you have fun."

"Now, the game begins!" With that, Ye Feng reactivated the talisman on his body and disappeared on the spot, while Harry also disappeared after running a distance.

Cedric had also 'disappeared,' but after thinking about it, he felt a little guilty. In the end, he followed Krum and Fleur's trail and found them, telling them his 'guess' as they were looking dejected.

Upon hearing that this was likely a 'game' orchestrated by Ye Feng, the two were instantly dumbfounded. However, unable to afford to pay up, they could only listen to Cedric and prioritize their own safety.

Then, a few minutes later, all three of them disappeared.

After Cedric and his two companions disappeared, the entire maze gradually quieted down again, except for the area where Voldemort and his group were. After about ten minutes, Voldemort and his group also gradually became aware of the situation in the maze.

So, after the shockwave swept out for more than half an hour, the maze returned to tranquility, but whether the maze was truly tranquil was only known to those inside.

312 Cedric: Newbies are really hard to manage.

Fleur: "Mr. Cedric, are we... really going to do this?"

Krum: "Yeah, that's really dangerous."

Cedric: "Although I wasn't there just now, given the current situation, there are only two possibilities for getting out."

"Those two possibilities?"

Cedric: "The first type is grabbing the trophy that just rose into the sky and then suddenly flew away and disappeared."

"Second, defeat all of Voldemort and his men."

Krum and Fleur: "Why?"

Cedric: "It's very simple."

"Judging from all the signs now, this is all related to Ye Feng, and Ye Feng..."

"Perhaps it's because you've come, or perhaps he's become much more mature now. He's done very few 'shocking' things this year, so you don't know much about it."

"Let me put it this way, before you came, our Hogwarts... was actually completely destroyed once, and that time... was just because of one of his games."

"So, something like today's must have been something he suddenly thought of and came up with."

"The trophy we just saw was to demonstrate the rules, meaning that whoever grabs the trophy wins."

"These are the official rules of the game, but this is a game created by Junior Brother Ye Feng. So at Hogwarts, there is also a default rule, which is... to eliminate all opponents and you can also win."

Hibiscus, Krum: (⊙o⊙)

After hearing Cedric's explanation, Fleur and Krum were stunned, but soon another question arose in their minds.

"But why eliminate Voldemort and the Death Eaters, instead of including us?"

Upon hearing Fleur's words, Cedric's face revealed an indescribable expression.

“How should I put it…”

"Ye Feng's ability to be funny is unparalleled, thanks to his magic circle and talisman skills, which are far inferior to even Headmaster Dumbledore's."

"In other words, given time to prepare, he could destroy Hogwarts in an instant, and even if Headmaster Dumbledore led us in rebellion, it would be useless."

"However... although he can cast almost all of his spells without a staff or even silently, his magical skill level is actually only slightly better than Harry's."

"In his own words, although he has many skills, they are all minor skills, and he doesn't have enough mana."

"Therefore, apart from Voldemort, none of us have the ability to eliminate everyone else, so it's certain that we'll be grouped into the same camp."

Hibiscus, Krum: (°ο°)

After hearing what Cseidrick said, both Fleur and Krum showed expressions of amazement.

Cedric, seeing that Fleur and Krum finally understood, thought for a moment and then took out a small stack of talismans from his pocket and gave them to the two of them.

"Although you have quite a few talismans, the variety is too limited. They're fine for everyday use, but they're inadequate for situations like this. You can borrow these for now."

"Although it's a bit less, I don't have much stock left, so I'll just have to make do."

Krum, Hibiscus: !!!∑(?Д?)

The two were completely stunned when they saw the thick stack of talismans Cedric handed them, because the number of talismans Cedric gave them was more than they had accumulated in almost a year since they arrived at Hogwarts!

More importantly, there are many talismans among them that they have never seen before, only heard of, and some they have never even heard of.

"Great! With these talismans, the three of us are sure to win!"

Hearing Fleur's confident words, Cedric's face showed a hint of embarrassment.

However, he didn't say anything because he didn't want to discourage Furong's confidence.

Needless to say, Ye Feng, although the talismans that are now bestsellers in the entire magic world are basically not made by him, he was the one who first drew any kind of talisman.

In other words, Ye Feng himself didn't even know how many talismans he had, while Harry...

Although the school stipulates that each person can only purchase a fixed number of talismans each month, and there is a limit to the number of talismans that can be given to each other, the school does not strictly control the giving of talismans.

More importantly, the person selling talismans at the school is his good friend Ron's brother, which means they can freely enter the warehouse at the school used to store and sell talismans.

Therefore, they have so many talismans that they can't possibly use them all, and there are also many talismans that are not available for sale on the market.

Of course, as a student of Hogwarts, he had the advantage of proximity and hoarded quite a lot, but he generally wouldn't use it. Almost everyone at Hogwarts knew about this and did the same thing, but no one would say it out loud.

After all… that's what Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts, did too.

Therefore, Cedric was not naive enough to believe that these few talismans could lead them to victory.

Moreover, this was created by Ye Feng, and anything created by Ye Feng is never a small-scale event. So, let alone relying on these talismans, it's questionable whether they can even withstand a wave of attacks, let alone win.

However, although that was what he thought, Cedric didn't say it aloud. Instead, he taught the two how to use the talismans.

Although Fleur and Krum had been at Hogwarts for almost a year and had gained some experience in using talismans, it was only a little, and they were no match for 'old hands' like Cedric and the others.

Therefore, Cedric told them that not only could two different talismans be used in combination, but the effects of the two combinations could also be used to create further combinations.

When they heard this, Fleur and Krum were stunned. They had almost exhausted their brain cells just figuring out the combination of the two talismans, and now Cedric was telling them that talismans could be used in this way.

So, after listening to Cedric's explanation, the two couldn't wait to try it out. The reason why Merry Christmas was willing to share this method, which only true veterans could master, was quite simple.

While they were already considered quite good within the entire Hogwarts community, they were far too inexperienced compared to the people present.

After all, they are representatives of other schools. If they are eliminated right after entering the arena, it will be a bit embarrassing for them, and it will be difficult for Hogwarts to explain.

So, Cedric had no choice but to give them a hand and let them hold out as long as possible to eliminate more Death Eaters.

All I can say is that Cedric is indeed a very qualified senior student, and he truly deserves the respect of the Hogwarts students and the high regard of the professors.

Meanwhile, Harry and Ye Feng, who had left earlier, had already begun their operation.

Just as Cedric had suspected, the two of them were not lacking in talismans, so they immediately gave themselves several sets of 'buffs' and were now completely hidden, hanging far behind Voldemort and his men, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Harry was a little hesitant to engage in a direct confrontation, but he had the guts to sneak up behind the maze. Moreover, knowing that Ye Feng had a backup plan, he was even less afraid.

then…

Voldemort: "Hiss~ Why do I keep feeling a chill down my spine, like something's watching me?"
