A **Medusa** is a creature with snake hair, snake body, and the torso of woman. They are met in the main pit of Xilang mountain.

## Appearance

These creatures had female torsos in simple armor while the lower half of their body was the body a light cyan snake. Several in front wielded stone daggers and shields to force back the approaching bloodthirsty demonic flies. There was one at the back that had a bow and arrow, occasionally shooting at the three larger demonic flies that were fighting Athena. Several bodies were lying on the ground, including demons and those snake-like women.

Chen Rui thought of the intelligent demonic beast from the legend. She had a female snake body, and she was adept at using bows and arrows. Most Medusas also had the ability to turn enemies into stone. These demonic beasts were also one of the underground demonic beasts that were endangering the mine, except he did not know why they were on the Athena's side. Maybe they had temporarily formed an alliance because they had a common enemy; the demonic flies.

Medusa's hair consisted of small snakes that could move. Although she had beautiful facial features, her pale gold pupils were similar to the vertical pupils of certain snakes, making her look more forbidding. She wore a simple armor on her torso, but small scales could be faintly seen on her skin. The lower half of her body, below the navel, was a wriggling snake body. It looked beyond strange.

The intelligent demonic beast medusa in the Demon Realm had the same name as the Medusa in Greek mythology. In the myth, Medusa was a beautiful young girl. Later, due to certain reasons, she became a snake-haired, wild boar-fanged, snake-bodied monster. Anyone who saw her would turn into stone. The Medusas on this dimension also had the ability to petrify, but it was not that exaggerated. Similarly, they were not that ugly. If one ignored their scales, snake body and the snake hair on their heads, they would be a beautiful woman. Right, the characteristic double forked tongue also had to be ignored.

## Cultivation

When Chen first meets a pack of Medusas fighting against demon flies:

Analytical Eyes showed that these Medusas were all of Higher Demon level. Based on their vibe, the one with the bow (Lusha) was the most powerful in the group.

The strength of the Medusa queen was unable to determine.

## Skills

### Petrification

As Athena was about to speak, she felt Chen Rui, who was beside her, was strange. His body was strangely stiff. His skin, hair and even the clothes on his body turned pale gray. His whole body emitted a dull feeling of death.

This was their Petrification ability.

Athena was shocked. When she thought of the most powerful skill which the medusas were famous for, she felt as if she had been plunged into ice.

Fortunately, this stiff state only lasted for a while. The dull gray gradually faded away, and he regained his initial vitality.

Chen Rui gasped, still feeling shaken up. The medusas' ability to petrify was really terrifying, especially since Queen Medusa, whose powers were "unable to determine", cast it herself. At that moment, not just his consciousness, but his whole body's blood circulation had solidified. Fortunately, the Super System was able to dissolve this kind of power. Otherwise, even if teleportation was successful, he would have definitely lost his life and become a stone statue.

### Weapons

With the Medusas' weapons such as stone bows and arrows, they could not really achieve the effect of metal weapons even if they were enchanted with sharpness skill. They had to use stone materials due to the mineral situation (crystal impurities) in the underworld. However after Chen distills the waste ore using Auto-Absorb, the Taurens were able to make new iron weapons for themselves and the Medusas.

Queen Medusa turned her head and saw two silvery things being thrown over. It was a machete and a round shield of the best quality.

## Language

The Medusa with the bow looked Chen Rui for a while and bowed slightly. She even performed a general demon etiquette. She stuck out a snake-like forked tongue from her mouth, hissing sounds forming a silly language, "*Ah*... thanks."

Chen Rui was very surprised. Although Medusa was an intelligent demonic beast, they still could not be compared with other highly intelligent creatures like the dragon. It was the first time he heard that a Medusa could speak the general language of the Demon Realm. However, Medusa's pronunciation was abstruse, a bit like a foreigner who just started learning Chinese.

The course of events was similar to what Chen Rui expected. It seemed like only the Medusa with the bow could speak the Demon Realm language. Moreover, her vocabulary was is limited and sounded weird.

Chen Rui spoke with the Medusa in his consciousness using <Analytical Eyes>. The Medusa was surprised, and the "foreign language" in her mouth became "hisses" of varying length. Although Athena couldn't understand it, It sounded more fluent in Chen Rui's ears.

## Reproduction

Liaosha has a baby bump. Athena was surprised as Medusa was an intelligent demonic beast that laid eggs. Generally, they did not show such obvious pregnancy signs, unless they were...

Tim saw Chen Rui's doubts and told him with a bitter smile that the pool in front of the small lake was called the fountain of life. Since all medusas were female, they needed a special medium to conceive the next generation. The fountain of life was that kind of magical medium. When a medusa was in heat, drinking this spring water could dissipate their desire and increase their chances of getting pregnant and laying eggs.

Medusas could become a real woman under the effect of the fountain of life.

## Fountain of life

Chen: "What is the relationship between the fountain of life and the Earth Elemental King's current status?"

"If you can destroy the fountain of life, you might be able to delay or even prevent that person's control."

Queen Medusa suddenly showed a weird sneer and stuck out her snake tongue. "Although you are weak, you are very daring, cunning and at the same time very revengeful. Maybe you are more suited to be a medusas' man than Tim. You should know the effect of the fountain of life on medusas. If you do not return it in time, then you should stay in the Medusa tribe. I believe that not only us but even those cow heads would be very happy to keep you as a friend."

Stay in the Medusa tribe? Become a gigolo who is forced to mate numerous times in a night? And with those girls of "unique taste"?

He remembered seeing someone mention on the Internet that the mating time of snakes could reach a maximum of twelve hours. He did not know whether it was true or false, and he didn't know the difference between these snake women and the snakes in that world. Otherwise, even if he had a dragon's physique, he would also be squeezed dry. No matter what, Xu Xian should only be worshipped and not imitated!

In the Demon Realm's version of Legend of the White Snake only needed one male protagonist, Tim!

Chen Rui followed Queen Medusa next to the medusas' fountain of life. The medusas' fountain of life was twice as big as the taurens', but it was also covered with those golden specks of light. Drying up was only a matter of time.

A large amount of mist appeared in Chen Rui's hands, enveloping the fountain of life. After a while, the fountain of life disappeared. The fountains of life did not seem to stack. The Medusas' fountain of life did not merge with the taurens'. The two divided into two pools in Galaxy Garden. Strangely, the medusas' fountain of life looked larger than the Taurens', but its total was still 200/200.

The medusas were stunned. Queen Medusa at the side immediately announced that to prevent the fountain of life from being invaded by the enemy, Chen Rui already used his special power to collect the fountain water. If any Medusa went into heat, they could ask him for the fountain of life or directly mate with him.

As soon as she said that, the surrounding snake pupils focused on Chen Rui's body. Some of them also had strange looks in their eyes, causing Chen Rui to feel severe chills. He involuntarily clenched Athena's hand. Queen Medusa's words were too toxic!

After the situation at Medusa's Lair was over, the taurens began to recount the weapons. The metal weapons given to the Medusas were a huge gift, but due to time, the number of machetes and shields was insufficient, especially the arrows that were used the most. These weapons were mostly ordinary metal. Because dark star iron weapons were scarce and difficult, they were mainly allocated to Demon King-level user or above.

Chen Rui and the Chief Tauren, Queen Medusa and the two elite earth elementals discussed carefully and decided to split up the work. The two elite earth elementals would take Chen Rui to the troll's ruin to collect the fountain of life. The taurens would seize the time to use the large number of minerals that had been purified by Chen Rui to forge weapons and armor. The medusas also had a certain level of forging ability, especially arrows. They could work with the taurens to speed up the progress.

There was no longer any concern about the fountain of life. The three main forces could join together to deal with the fight that could occur at any time.

## Lamp Spirits

Chen Rui found a second Tribe of Medusa, known as the Cold Mist Tribe, led by Medusa Queen Lanliza, when Sicali sent him to investigate a mine incident. There he discovered Lamp Spirits that had been chased out of their home in the nearby mine by Crystal Dragon Jacob, were forced to fight over Snake Blood Fruits with the local Cold Mist Tribe of Medusas. Chen Rui brokered peace between the two races by promising them both Devil Fruit and Fountain of Life water.
