Chapter 24 Stone Eyed Medusa

After Luo Qiu muttered to himself, a beam of gray light suddenly shot down from the top of the tree where he was standing.

Wherever the gray light passed, any tree bark that was touched turned into stone chips and fell off.

Luo Qiu had no intention of dodging and just let the gray light shine on him.

Even Silver or Gold level adventurers would be very wary of Stone Eye Medusa's petrifying magic 'Gazing Ray'. Generally speaking, when hunting this kind of monster, they would prepare corresponding resistance items. Otherwise, even if there is a magician who can remove the petrifying effect, they may not be able to rescue it in time.

After all, after being petrified, the vitality in the body will be gradually deprived. If the adventurer has strong vitality, he can still hold on for a while, but if the vitality is weak, he will probably be completely deprived of vitality in a moment and turn into stone completely.

The magic that was feared by countless adventurers fell on Luo Qiu's head.

Gray light spread, covering Luo Qiu's entire body.

There was a rustling sound among the leaves above the treetops, followed by the sound of something heavy falling to the ground.

Stone-Eyed Medusa released one of her innate magics, 'Natural Concealment', which was a magic similar to the innate magic of an animal called chameleon in the world before Luo Qiu crossed over. It could blend itself into the surrounding environment for a certain period of time, making it impossible to distinguish, and even its breath could be hidden. This was why Stone-Eyed Medusa was able to survive in the Sloda Forest for so long.

It has a cunning nature, and if it senses the presence of a human it cannot defeat, it will hide and wait for its chance to strike.

A human swallowed its 'gazing ray' without any precautions. Stone-Eyed Medusa naturally believed that this human had turned into stone and was about to die, so she showed up openly.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss..." Making snake-like sounds from her mouth, the Stone-Eyed Medusa crawled towards her nest, dragging her long snake tail.

"Is it an intelligent monster? It seems to be more spiritual than the Goblin King and the Forest Fairy. No, is it Medusa's talent?"

The human whispers reached the ears of Stone-Eyed Medusa. Although it did not understand human language, it meant one thing: the human who was hit by the "Gazing Ray" was still alive!

Stone-Eyed Medusa stopped moving, turned around, and saw the human.

Luo Qiu was also looking at the monster seriously.

Stone-Eyed Medusa has almost the same appearance as the legendary Medusa, with hair made up of countless living snakes and a beautiful face close to that of a human female. The most unusual of its facial features are its eyes.

There are no pupils, only sclera that is close to silver-white and lime-colored, which is a sign that it will soon turn into a silver eye.

The upper body is as graceful as a human woman, while the lower body is a long snake tail covered with scales.

Snake hair, human face and snake body, it's a really interesting structure.

Although we don’t know what that human was looking at, or why he didn’t turn into stone, what he had to do would not change.

The hair of Stone-Eyed Medusa, those snakes that were constantly waving in the air suddenly grew longer, and then they bit Stone-Eyed Medusa's neck one after another. The eyes of the snakes turned green, and they seemed to be injecting something into Stone-Eyed Medusa's neck.

"Interesting." Luo Qiu's eyes lit up. Although there were countless opportunities now, he did not take any action to stop Stone-Eyed Medusa.

Arriving in a different world, there are things that can amaze people everywhere. Even a weak monster has unique abilities. The skills that Stone-Eyed Medusa is using now have never appeared in "Burning God Realm".

Luo Qiu's greatest pursuit is to see more scenery belonging to the other world while ensuring his own safety, and to collect the treasures he can see.

The originally snow-white neck of Stone-Eyed Medusa gradually turned dark green. After a moment, Stone-Eyed Medusa's entire face turned dark green, except for the pair of silver-gray stone eyes.

"Ew, wah wah wah!"

The throat was moving, making disgusting and nauseating sounds.

Stone-Eyed Medusa's cheeks began to swell until they reached a certain limit.

"Puff!" A pool of dark green venom spurted out of its mouth and shot towards Luo Qiu like an arrow.

Even from a distance, you can smell the stench.

This is Stone-Eyed Medusa's most powerful weapon, 'Corrosive Venom'. Its toxicity and corrosive properties are comparable to the intermediate magic 'Spear of Corrosion', surpassing the powerful attack of 'Gaze Ray'. It is also the weapon that adventurers fear the most.

The dark green venom crossed the space and instantly arrived in front of Luo Qiu.

At the moment when Luo Qiu was about to be contaminated by the venom, the space in front of Luo Qiu shattered like glass, and the "corrosive venom" of Stone-Eyed Medusa was swallowed up by the space crack.

Luo Qiu waved his hand lightly, and the countless broken space fragments seemed to be controlled by something. The space fragments that had been shattered returned to their original positions like a puzzle and restored to their original state.

"Snapped."

Luo Qiu snapped his fingers, and when the sound of the snap fell, the space where Stone-Eyed Medusa was located seemed to have a visible folding feeling.

"Clap."

The next second, the beautiful head of Stone-Eyed Medusa fell off her neck.

The void-level magic 'Space Fracture', of course, this is Luo Qiu's simplified 'Space Fracture'. With meticulous control ability, it consumes only a small amount of MP to activate the magic. The power is not much weaker than the complete version, but the coverage range is reduced to the limit by Luo Qiu, and the MP value consumed is only a fraction of that of the complete version.

"I really have the ability to control magic at will." Luo Qiu looked at the situation he created with surprise.

He had felt it when he released the "Nether Forest" a few days ago. This time it was just a test. Luo Qiu did not expect that after crossing over, he could freely control the magic with fixed values ​​in "Burning God Realm".

You should know that in Burning God Realm, the MP value consumed by each spell is fixed. Even if the player's MP value is only slightly different from the MP required by the spell, it is impossible to use the magic. This is not only true for Burning God Realm, all games are set up like this.

Indeed, only in reality can human beings truly control themselves.

Luo Qiu once again felt happy that he had traveled through time, breaking free from the control of computer data and becoming a new "self".

He walked to the head of Stone-Eyed Medusa and looked at the head which was no longer lifelike.

Obviously, it should have been a very frightening scene, but Luo Qiu didn't feel anything at all. Instead, he stretched out his hand and inserted it into the eyes of Stone-Eyed Medusa as if it was a matter of course.

The two stone eyes were taken from the head of Stone-Eyed Medusa.

The 'Eye of Living Beings' swept past and gave Luo Qiu some information.

Stone Eye: A low-level forging material, Stone Eye is the essence of Medusa.

"Low-level materials?" Although he was prepared, Luo Qiu still shook his head in disappointment.

This kind of low-level material can only produce mid-quality blue equipment at best, which is basically worthless. It turns out that weak monsters cannot drop top-quality materials. This is simply not in the same dimension compared to the material dropped by Queen Medusa.

However, when Luo Qiu thought about the task item, he felt relieved. After all, he wouldn't feel bad about throwing it away like a stone.

"Let's go back. I'm really looking forward to seeing the girl's expression when she sees this thing."

Thinking of the performance of the girl at the front desk of the Adventurer's Guild, Luo Qiu couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Tossing the 'Stone Eye' back and forth casually in his hands, Luo Qiu set out on his return journey.
