In the next moment, Russell's spiritual energy was injected into the mobile phone album, activating the "short teleportation" from the lamp god.

Russell, who had been tightly bitten by dozens of poisonous snakes, relied on teleportation spells to break free from the shackles of poisonous snakes and disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

The other poisonous snakes swarmed in their hairs, and the attacks failed.

Russell silently appeared on the other side of the darkness, behind Medusa, closer to the depths of the cavern.

It turned out that where Russell disappeared, a little of the herbal residue that fell freely in the air fell on the surging poisonous snakes.

Just such a touch transferred most of the toxins in Russell's body.

Turn the doom!

Russell suddenly felt that his whole body was relieved, although the wound from the poisonous snake's bite just now was still there, the burning sensation of the flame boiling in the blood vessels had basically disappeared, and even a little bit of toxin could be dissolved by the third-grade level life force on its own.

"Ah, why, I, poisoned?"

Medusa felt a burning sensation in her veins, completely incomprehensible.

Just as poisonous snakes are not immune to their own toxins, Medusa is also affected by the venom of their own hair, but has a certain resistance.

A smile flashed across Russell's mouth.

He had previously confirmed with Starfire that each of Medusa's viper hair was only a part of the body, and was not judged as an independent biological unit in the occult field, so the viper would not be petrified immediately because it saw Medusa in the mirror.

According to the same judgment rules, when the dregs touch Medusa's hair, it is equivalent to touching Medusa herself, and naturally Russell's misfortune can be transferred!

Russell didn't hesitate, and injected more spiritual energy into the chain blasting staff, triggering explosions again and again in the direction where the voice appeared just now.

Medusa, who was already covered in bruises and had no time to wipe off the acid residue on her body, barely rolled over while enduring the burning sensation of toxins in her body, dodging the heat and impact of the flame blast, obviously not holding out for long.

The surface of this empty cave is also full of cracks in the successive blasts, and if it weren't for the particularly strong rocks that make up the mountain, the entire cave and even the hill might have collapsed.

"This Medusa is not strong, is the wind chime so weak when they took away that Medusa?" Russell grunted inwardly as he waved his staff.

When the plan was originally made, Russell somewhat overestimated the threat posed by Medusa and the gargoyles.

According to the original plan, all Russell had to do was to temporarily contain Medusa's attraction path with darkness and explosives. Starfire takes advantage of the darkness to sneak into the depths of the cavern, uses the real storage ring to retrieve the water from the Weeping Fountain, and then the two of them quickly leave the place where it is wrong.

Now it seems that he can cooperate with Starfire, directly kill Medusa and the gargoyle, and then swagger in!

……

While Russell and Medusa were fighting in the dark, Starfire had already quietly dived deeper into the cave as originally planned.

Starfire stepped over the corpses of the two gargoyle guards who had been thoroughly corroded by the acid, and approached the pool of water.

Illuminated by a small number of glowing mushrooms, the red-haired girl looked ahead like a wailing fountain of thousands of weeping souls, and the sound of wailing pierced her ears.

Without a moment's delay, she quickly lay down and thrust her slender right hand, which was wearing a red metal ring, into the spring.

- This is the real storage ring for water!

According to Starfire's understanding, touching the Fountain of Weeping with flesh and blood will bring unimaginable severe pain to the spirit, similar to touching a soldering iron or strong acid with your hands, but there is no substantial harm. However, in order to be able to get the coveted fountain of weeping, patience for ten seconds is nothing.

Starfire thrust his right hand into the spring without even the slightest hesitation. On the handsome face of the red-haired girl, her eyes were closed, waiting for the soul-tearing burning sensation.

As I imagined, the sharp pain like clenching a soldering iron did not come.

She felt like her hand was just stuck in the air, not even a trace of liquid was touched, only the cold air flowed.

Starfire suddenly opened his eyes and saw that his hand had indeed penetrated into the spring, but he did not feel a trace of it, like a spring made up of thousands of painful souls' faces, and there were no waves because of the depth of the human hand.

"Is this an illusion?

"The spring of the Weeping Fountain has long been taken away?"

Starfire exclaimed.

As early as when discussing countermeasures with him and Russell, Russell mentioned the possibility that the spring of the Weeping Fountain had been drained or most of it had been taken away.

This is because Russell came to the Jungle to find a fateful opportunity related to the occult diseases prevalent in the Academy, and the Weeping Fountain is a precious material that can be used to complete necromantic rituals and create plagues.

Therefore, it is likely that the spring water has been taken by those behind the malicious spread of disease, such as the bird's beak doctor.

The most important purpose of the wind chime to sneak into the cave in advance is to confirm whether the spring water is still there, and after discovering that the pool full of spring water is still there, she immediately transmits the news to Russell's heart through the spirit contract, and Russell and Starfire will carry out the follow-up plan.

"The guy who took the Fountain of Weeping and created a layer of illusion?"

Starfire was stunned, a possibility she had never thought of before.

She leaned forward a little to the right, trying to reach deeper into the pool, reaching to the bottom of the pool, to see if there was any remnant of the Weeping Fountain.

Feeling the unbearable burning sensation in his hand and the sharp pain like the tearing of the spirit, Starfire exhaled in pain, and his heart was happy.

There is still a little crying fountain left at the bottom of the pool.

Starfire, who endured the burning pain, did not realize that someone had come behind him.

It was an adult man who was invisible, and who seemed to have somehow eliminated his presence to the point where it was difficult to be noticed.

If someone can see through the invisible, they can see the appearance of a man-

He wears a loose black oilproof coat and a black bowler hat on his head. The face is exaggerated, completely obscuring the face, the medieval doctor's beak mask.

…………

Deep in the leafy forest, Medusa was surrounded by pale and hazy spirits in all directions.

"Ahh

The monster with a snake tail shook its head vigorously, and one after another emerald green poisonous snakes shot out from the top of its head, extending to dozens of meters long at once, becoming bigger and thicker.

The viper opened its bloody jaws and bit at the spirits that surrounded it, and the wind chimes, soul splitters, and sleepdemon dodged the serpent's attacks left and right.
