Chapter 16: Medusa

After a few minutes passed, the entire official website trading area was boiling, exclaiming how could there be such a powerful transcendent item in this world.

As for the bids they give, they are getting higher and more outrageous.

And more people began to question whether Russell really had such a terrifying artifact.

Ignoring the emotionally complex spark in his eyes, Russell put down his phone and opened his programmer thinking:

"Is it that as long as you wear this belt for more than 24 hours in a row, it means that there are no side effects?

"After all, it's only the moment you wear it that you have a side effect that lasts for 24 hours — well, if that's a side effect at all."

"This ......," Starfire rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought, "I haven't tried it yet, I just made this belt, and I don't need to test it." ”

"And, there's one more question! For an extraordinary item with side effects, if the condition for taking side effects is triggered twice in a row, will the side effects suffered from the two times add? Russell was quick to come up with new ideas.

Starfire tries to keep up with Russell's brain circuit, and at the same time answers it according to his knowledge of strange things:

"Generally speaking, the two side effects will be superimposed, of course, the specific items need to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis, and the proof of the test is still needed......"

"You mean that as long as you put on your belt, then take it off immediately, and put it back on, the two side effects will be canceled out?" Russell came straight to the conclusion.

"I haven't tried it yet."

"Then you try." Russell said.

Starfire took the gorgeous purple belt in his hand and tried to wear it to his waist, but stopped halfway through.

"Forget it, you can give it a try."

Starfire threw the belt to Russell.

Russell didn't say a word, he wanted to wear the belt on his waist.

"Wait a minute!" Starfire stopped Russell, and his always serious face finally couldn't help but show an expression of disbelief.

"Russell, don't you have a psychological burden when you do this?"

"What's so psychologically burdensome about this?" Russell looked confused, but immediately realized something, "Oh yes, a little bit of an impact, if my appearance changes a lot after being resexualized, customers may not recognize me when I set up a stall tomorrow." This needs to be solved with disguise illusion, but there are also people who have the ability to see through illusions......"

Russell thought about it and felt that wearing this belt was not completely without side effects, and he stopped what he was doing.

"Master, master, this kind of work of testing for the side effects of transcendent items can be done by contract spirits."

The pale and hazy shadow in the phone suggested.

When the Sandman made a suggestion, he added:

"I am a demon and have no gender. It is recommended that the owner find another contract spirit to complete the work. ”

Russell felt that made sense and threw the belt to the wind chimes on the side.

"Wind chimes, you try it."

Wind Chimes quickly stabilized his soul, barely able to physically interact with objects and catch his belt.

"Why am I doing the testing again?"

Wind Chime glared at Starfire next to her, she had been broken by Starfire's mind-reading brooch last time.

"Remember to burn me a few more bags of potato chips." Wind Chime gritted her teeth and wore the belt around her waist.

The white hair, which had been fluttering, was suddenly shortened.

In front of the two of them, a fair-skinned, petite and cute, short white hair hanging down the shoulders, a faint anger in the eyes, red lips and white teeth.

The wind chime touched his head: "Huh? My hair has become shorter. ”

"So why does switching genders affect hair length? Is there any necessary connection between the two? Or is the actual effect of this belt actually changing the length of a person's hair? Russell raised his own questions.

Putting these conjectures behind him for a moment, he commanded the wind chimes again:

"You take off your belt, wait a minute, and put it back on."

The wind chimes take off their belts.

After a moment's wait, he put the belt back on his waist.

Just heard a whoosh, and the male ghost in front of him turned back into a female ghost.

"Sure enough, when you wear the belt twice in a row, the side effects will be canceled." Starfire looked at the wind chimes that had reverted to the form of a beautiful girl in shock, "So why wait a minute?" ”

"Let there be a time difference between the two side effects at the point of application, and see if the wind chimes will turn for one minute at this point tomorrow." Russell replied indifferently and recorded the present time.

With wind chimes as an example, Russell tried it himself.

He first wore the belt around his waist.

Then, she looked at her condition in the mirror, cut off a few long hairs, and quickly determined in a simple way that the belt did more than just "change the length of the hair".

Then, she took off her belt and put it back on again, returning to her original appearance.

Putting the sash aside, the two turned the conversation back to "how to deal with Medusa and gargoyles and enter the cave".

According to Subway's combat power rating mechanism, the adult Medusa is a supernatural creature of third-grade strength, which is extremely rare.

"Medusa has two very powerful abilities.

"One is the petrified gaze. Ordinary people and transcendents with a low level of spirituality, just one glance at Medusa's eyes will instantly transform into an inanimate stone statue.

"Even me, when I see Medusa, I am gradually petrified, and I will be completely turned into a stone statue in 10 seconds. When you look away, the petrified flesh will slowly recover over time.

"The other ability is Medusa's full head of snake hair. Each hair of Medusa is a venomous snake that can stretch out to attack enemies as needed.

"Every snake has venomous enchanted fangs that can quickly poison sturdy beasts. And such poisonous snakes have at least a hundred on Medusa's head. ”

Starfire explains to Russell about Medusa's abilities.

Russell speculated based on his occultism that Medusa's petrification magic was of a very high level, and even if he used the "doom turning method" of drinking medicine, he was afraid that he would not be able to completely transfer the effect of petrification, and at most alleviate it.

As for the dozen or so gargoyle guards, they were all made by Medusa with petrification magic, and Russell estimated that their strength rating was about the late first grade or the half-step second grade, which was not very strong, but it was also a rock body with infinite strength, and it was better than the hard and strong body, and its defensive ability was no less than that of most second-year students.

"Don't worry, my spiritual level has also reached the beginning of the third grade, and the level of life has been sublimated, even if I don't eat or drink, I can live for more than a month. Now the body is very resistant to all kinds of strange abilities, even if you see Medusa's eyes, you will not be petrified in an instant. "Russell is very pleased that he has just been promoted and is able to participate in this level of fighting.

Although Xinghuo couldn't understand what the early third grade was, he could understand what Russell meant, and he was quite surprised by the speed of Russell's progress.

Last year, Russell was only a first-year student, but now his spiritual level can be compared to the super geniuses of the third grade!
