Chapter 50: The Petrified Eye

In order to uncover all the secrets, the people carefully slid down the steep slope into the pit and into the temple.

Although it is also a part of the dungeon, compared to the previous labyrinth full of the art of the gods, this place seems to be a demon world distorted by filthy magic.

In the darkened hall stood stone pillars in the style of ancient Greece, filled with fishy air between the columns.

In the endless darkness, the brilliance emitted by the few magic crystal lamps in the team was not even a drop in the ocean.

"Leah, can you turn the lights up?"

Karene frowned, it was too dark, and the air was filled with an obnoxious viscosity, as if she had soaked her body in oil.

"It's useless, Medusa is not a good spellcaster, but when building a temple, she will attach the dark canopy, a spell often used by the undead and the dark priests.

Here, the five senses of living beings are greatly weakened, regardless of the strength of the light itself, and even with the use of illumination, it is impossible for us to see the scene from ten meters away.

So all that can be done is to be vigilant. ”

Leah shook her head, the obstacle to vision came from magic, and even this uncomfortable stickiness was the result of it.

Because of this, adventurers rarely get the upper hand in the Medusa Temple, and by the time they find the enemy, they are often completely surrounded by a large crowd of Medusa.

The knights cautiously advanced in the viscous darkness, they held their shields. The sharp sword was clenched in his hand, step by step, exploring in this darkness.

There are only stone pillars in the hall of the temple. No matter which direction you look at, the scenery is the same, not only does it make people unable to distinguish between southeast and west, but even lose the sense of distance.

From time to time, the sound of the rope came from the ear, as if the scales were gliding on the ground, which was restless, as if there was something evil hidden behind each pillar.

"We're not going to go around in circles, are we?"

I don't know how long I walked but still couldn't see the end, someone in the team couldn't help but ask.

"Holy. The compass is completely useless. ”

Karene took out the compass on her waist, and now the little thing that could point the way was spinning in circles in confusion.

"Otherwise, let me use the Arcane Impact to clear the way. ”

Passively waiting for the enemy to attack is not Leah's habit. Since it has reached the point where I can't even tell the way, fortunately, I have destroyed everything.

"Well, that's it. ”

Karen nodded, originally the knight's strength was not stealth combat. Instead of moving slowly in this darkness. It's better to blast out all the enemies and have a good fight!

"Wait, there's something up ahead. ”

Just then, Rebecca noticed something unusual ahead.

Everyone concentrated on looking into the distance, and in the endless darkness, there was indeed some shadow of white flowers, vaguely connected.

"Alert!

With two simple commands, all the knights raised their weapons, and the person standing at the front held the shield in his hand tightly. Form a formation and get closer step by step.

Then they saw the true face of the white shadow.

It was a stone statue. Lifelike stone statues. They moved in a variety of ways: some held spears, some held their heads in their hands, some turned and fled, they wore different costumes: some wore horsehair and armor, some wore leather armor and daggers, or robes and staffs, and their expressions were different: some were howling, some were weeping, and some were as if they had met the most terrible ghost in the world, and their whole features were completely distorted.

The only thing that the countless disparate statues have in common in this open space is that they all convey despair and fear.

Adventurers who have come to the temple, it's time to wake up. This is not a treasure trove full of wealth, nor is it a gentle hometown of monster girls, but a demon cave that seeks flesh and blood sacrifices!

"It seems that the Medusas are quite fond of art, and these stone statues are realistic, although their taste is somewhat ...... Gee...... Wonderful......"

Karen said, looking at the sculptures half-sarcastically.

The knights around them laughed, and although they looked terrifying, they did not scare the battle-hardened warriors, they only held their weapons harder.

"It's not a statue, it's a living human being. ”

Compared with the knight, who didn't know much about exotic monsters, Isabella knew better the reality represented by these sculptures in front of her.

"What do you mean?"

"Petrified MONOCULUS, Medusa is not a magical race, but their eyes are naturally filled with anomalous magic, able to turn those who gaze at them into stone, and the stone statues you see now are all adventurers who trespassed into the temple for the sake of wealth and honor.

Yes...... Of course, the so-called petrified demon eye can also be resisted, as long as the fighting qi is used to activate the flesh and blood, the second level or higher fighters will not be petrified immediately, at best, they will feel stiff during the battle. ”

Leah explained the most terrifying thing about Medusa, but in order not to affect morale at this critical juncture, she also quickly explained that this magic was not as terrifying as the legend said.

"So these sculptures are actually ......"

Karin touched the nearest stone statue, and when she realized that it was once a living person, there seemed to be something disgusting to the hard touch of the rock.

"The general Medusa is a third-level monster, and the magic eye can unconditionally petrify any first-level martial artist, because they cannot continuously release the fighting energy, while the second-level or higher warriors can use the fighting energy to resist this magic for a period of time, but once the fighting energy is exhausted, ......"

As Leah said this, suddenly there was a different and denser sound in the hall.

The voice stopped the conversation, and they looked around and saw that in the depths of the darkness they could see dense red dots of light, and between those red dots, there were pairs of snakes with golden bevelous eyes.

Legend has it that a person who is targeted by a snake will become numb, and now people do feel that their limbs are beginning to disobey.

"Humph!"

Leah snorted coldly, and she realized that the earth elementals around her were following some kind of force, trying to replace her body with stone. Little Lori swept around with her spiritual power, and these evil elements were bounced away, for mages, dealing with petrification is far easier than that of knights, but if your spiritual power is exhausted, then I'm afraid the end will make no difference.

The knights also knew how to deal with it, and as the milky white fighting qi enveloped their whole body, the feeling of paralysis disappeared a lot.

It was during this time that the enemy slid in front of him, and the snake-tailed human body, even the neck and arms were covered with scales, the palms of the hands turned into sharp claws, and the hair was full of poisonous snakes, and the dense red spots before were the eyes of these small snakes.

"Hmph! Looks like they've had a lot of adventurers and soldiers from other countries before this.

Okay, okay, let's see if these ugly monsters can still stand up to their majesty in front of Randall Knight!"

With a bang, the sword was out of the body, and Karen shouted angrily:

"Protect the princess and Leah! Annihilate these evil monsters! The knights !! for Randall's honor-!!"

"For Randall's Honorβ€”!!"

The knight's shouts seemed to tear through the boundless darkness, and suddenly, a great battle began.
