Chapter 17: Thief Wind Chimes
"It seems that it is still a little difficult to break through head-on, and it is true that we can not be petrified by Medusa by blindfolding, but in this case, our own combat power will be greatly reduced."
Russell analyzed and put forward several ideas that might be able to defeat Medusa: "Will Medusa's photographs have a petrification effect?" Will Medusa also be petrified when she sees herself in the mirror? ”
"Medusa's picture does not carry supernatural powers, but Medusa's self in the mirror is also affected, and like the powerful transcendent, she is gradually petrified. So Medusa will avoid everything that might reflect light. Starfire replied.
"When she sees herself in the mirror, will the viper in Medusa's hair be judged to be a separate and weak creature, so that it will be petrified instantly?" Russell then asked.
"No, it won't. The viper on the head is part of Medusa's body. Are you playing a game? ”
Russell lowered his head, thought for a while, and then said to Xinghuo:
"You first use the power of creation to create a mirror."
Starfire reached out a finger to refer to the pen and drew a mirror in the air. Soon, a mirror slightly larger than a skull appeared in a cloud of mist.
Russell took out a silver silk robe from his dimensional waist bag, and shook it slightly, and the silk robe poured down like water.
"To be clear in advance, according to my understanding of Medusa's habits, even if Medusa encounters a mirror, she will drive the snakes to destroy it as soon as possible, and will not wait until the entire petrification process is completely completed."
But Russell didn't seem to be worried about this, and he asked:
"Does Medusa's petrified gaze have an effect on spirit-like transcendent creatures?"
"I don't know." Starfire shook his head, this kind of knowledge is too far away, and it doesn't belong to the regular occult knowledge.
Russell held up his phone.
"Then I'll ask the professionals."
He immediately opened the Bixian app and posted a question.
Pen immortals are spirits, and they are the best suited to answer this kind of question.
Within a few minutes, the various spirit users were answered.
Some also made up stories in the answers, telling how they escaped death under the attack of Medusa back then, and the plot was ups and downs and exciting.
Russell skimmed through the answers and came to a rough conclusion.
Medusa's petrified gaze has no effect on spirits. However, the snake hair on its head itself is equivalent to a powerful enchanted weapon, which can damage spirit creatures. Although snake venom is ineffective against spirits, the fangs themselves are extremely sharp and the threat cannot be ignored.
Be aware that most spirit creatures are fragile and lack defenses like carapace or hardened skin!
Russell summons the Sleeping Demon from his phone and begins to make plans to enter the cave to fetch water from the spring.
So and so and so and so and
……
A few minutes later.
Immerse yourself in the deep caves of the mountains.
In the lightless depths of the cavern, there is a spring that weeps forever.
The spring was said to be water, more like a translucent liquid substance made up of tens of thousands of wailing souls. One after another, patterns that resemble human faces rise and fall, wailing in the springs.
When the Weeping Fountain takes shape, it will absorb the haunting ghosts that wander around it for centuries or even a dozen centuries, and grow itself up, allowing the spring to accumulate more and more.
The water also slowly pollutes the surrounding organisms, causing trees and weeds to wither or mutate.
Some transcendent beings who are close to the supernatural properties or symbolism of the spring will be distorted in the process, and their minds will be completely degraded, giving up everything they have and becoming guardians, forever guarding the wailing and weeping waters of this fountain, from any other creature.
This contamination is irreversible, and even if the water is taken away, the contaminated creatures will remain at the site where they dived, and continue to guard the fountain of weeping, which no longer exists, until they die.
Now, more than 10 gargoyles stand guard by the spring, cautiously watching from any possible intruders.
The two Medusas were a little farther away, watching outside, guarding against the red-haired girl who had escaped just now from sneaking back again.
At the edge of the Fountain of Weeping, behind several gargoyles, a ghostly girl with white hair and skin as pale as snow emerged from the ground.
"Ouch, it hurts me to death."
After the female ghost wind chime came out of the ground, she frowned slightly, as if her whole body had just been squeezed by a huge force.
It is true that spirits can escape, but they are greatly limited.
Shortly after Russell received the wind chime, he asked the wind chime if she could go directly to the center of the earth.
But the wind chimes tell Russell that although spirits can pass through solid matter, if the whole body or most of the body is submerged in a hard solid, it will be damaged every second, unlike the normal way of going through a wall or possessing a person.
This answers one of Russell's big questions - why do ghosts rarely use escape or infiltration in various ghost stories?
If it weren't for the fact that he had already reached the half-step third-grade level, and the strength of his spirit body had increased significantly, Feng Chime would not be willing to sneak into this cave!
After successfully infiltrating, the wind chimes stood in the middle of the gargoyles guarding the Weeping Fountain, learning the gargoyles' movements, standing honestly, looking around, and alerting for possible intruders.
A dozen gargoyles didn't notice either, and it seemed that there was one more guard today.
Gargoyles patrol normally with wind chimes and search their surroundings normally.
One of the gargoyles also patted the wind chime on the shoulder (but went straight through) and admonished his companion in a hoarse voice:
"Be careful. Just now, someone, broke in. To prevent, redhead woman, come again. ”
The wind chime nodded vigorously, indicating that he would take good care of the weeping fountain and never let any outsiders directly dye it!
This is the "making friends" ability of wind chimes!
Taking advantage of the time when the gargoyle guards were not paying attention, the wind chimes quietly approached the weeping fountain again, and stretched out his right hand as he looked at the strange spring water that seemed to be intertwined with thousands of wailing ghosts.
The wind chime rubbed the crimson ring on his index finger, causing it to glow a faint red, and then reached into the spring.
Storage rings!
Storage rings can store any dead objects, such as spring water.
As for the problem of "storage rings cannot store living people", it is generally solved by beating living people to death and turning them into corpses.
Just as the wind chimes tried to fill the spring with the storage ring, Medusa's shout suddenly came from behind him:
"Are you, what the hell?
"Intruder, there has been!"
With the spirit resistance of the gargoyle, it is impossible to resist the spirit suggestion ability of the wind chime, but Medusa, a higher-level transcendent creature, has a high probability of directly seeing through it!
