Medusa's Lair.
Queen Medusa was holding a machete and a round shield. She was surrounded by two cyan elite earth elementals. She seemed to be having a hard time.
In terms of real strength, Queen Medusa was slightly inferior to the Chief Tauren. However, she had a powerful petrification ability, and her combat power was stronger than the Chief Tauren's. Unfortunately, her current opponent was the earth elementals who were completely immune to petrification. She was in a difficult situation.
The attack of the earth elementals and the demonic flies was very sudden this time. Fortunately, Tim's daily training was quite effective. The medusas did not panic, but they were caught off guard. They did not prepare enough explosive arrows and other weapons, so they could not unleash the huge targeted lethality like last time. Moreover, the stone bows and arrows of the medusas could not really achieve the effect of metal weapons even if they were enchanted with [Sharpness].
The situation of the medusas was getting worse and worse. It was quite obvious that they were losing. Queen Medusa was anxious. What made her even more unrelieved was that the enemy signal had been sent for some time, and there were people who went to the Tauren's Lair to ask for help, but the taurens had not arrived yet.
Could it be that the suspicious Chen Rui was the spy of the earth elementals and the demonic flies? He deceived the taurens' trust, causing the taurens to surrender to the earth elementals? In this war, there were precedents of the underground creatures succumbing to the earth elementals, but the earth elementals did not accept captives or defectors. Those creatures were slaughtered without exception. It was impossible for the taurens not to understand this.
This guy named Chen Rui had sent a letter about three days ago. As a result, she ordered Tim to reply unceremoniously. She didn't give this guy a chance to play tricks at all. Right, it must be Chen Rui messing around. Even if he was not the spy of the earth elementals, he must have held a grudge against the medusas because of the last incident. He seized this opportunity to retaliate and used tricks to prevent the taurens' support!
Queen Medusa was distracted, and the crystal shield in her hand was hit by the magic fist of the elite earth elementals. This crystal shield was special in texture. It was no less than metal. It was made after painstaking polishing. However, due to too many battles, it was already scarred. It was actually broken into pieces by this punch. Queen Medusa's hand was numb from the aftershock. She was half a step slower in dodging, and she was hit from the back by another elite earth elemental.
Queen Medusa only felt a sharp pain. With a "hiss", she swung her long tail and fiercely hit the elite earth elemental that sneaked behind her. However, the earth elemental that was enchanted with [Steel Armor] had a super strong defense. It only took a few steps back. This blow did not cause any substantial damage. The elite earth elemental in front didn't give Queen Medusa a chance to catch her breath as he punched. Queen Medusa dodged sideways and slashed the enemy's arm with a sharp blade. However, sadly, the well-tested crystal machete finally couldn't keep its integrity. It followed the footsteps of the shield and shattered.
Queen Medusa was unarmed, and she was suddenly in a huge crisis. At this moment, there was a sudden whistling sound. She saw a round pale green stone flying from the air and smashing into the elite earth elemental that was attacking Queen Medusa from behind. His entire body was knocked back more than ten meters and fell to the ground.
The pale green round stone unfolded and turned into an earth elemental that was similar to the elite earth elemental, but there was a red cloth tied on its arm. What surprised Queen Medusa was that the elite earth elemental with the red cloth did not attack her. Instead, it wrestled with its companion.
At the same time, a familiar howl sounded. Queen Medusa was excited: Tauren! The reinforcements have finally arrived!
What surprised Queen Medusa even more was that among the taurens, there was a large group of earth elementals with red scarves tied on their arms. These earth elementals were not attacking medusas, but their own kind and the demonic flies!
The sharp-eyed Queen Medusa saw the "Demons", Chen Rui, who was almost petrified by her. She rushed all the way to the surrounded Tim and Lysa and saved her daughter. Immediately afterward, Lysa's hissing voice resounded throughout the battlefield. It should have been through the effect of some magic amplification item, "Medusas, don't attack the earth elementals with red scarves on their arms. They are allies!"
Could it be that the red scarf earth elementals are the allies mentioned by the suspicious character named Chen Rui? If these earth elementals were spies, they only needed to stop the tauren's reinforcements to destroy the medusa tribe. Why would they come to the rescue at such a critical moment?
While she was distracted, the Chief Tauren's howl suddenly sounded in her ears. A strong body appeared beside her, and an axe slashed at the elite elemental who wanted to sneak attack. Sparks suddenly flew everywhere. The elite elemental who cast [Steel Armor] and [Stone Skin] had a clear long groove on its body. Its whole body staggered backward.
Queen Medusa noticed that the weapon in the Chief Tauren's hand was no longer the usual stone hammer, but the tauren's favorite tomahawk – a metal weapon!
Not only the Chief Tauren, but almost all the taurens had replaced the weapons in their hands with metal. The Chief Tauren was also wearing a shiny armor!
The medusas also knew some smelting techniques, but they were far from comparable to the taurens. The queen knew the current situation of the underground ore. Due to the crystal impurities, even the taurens could not extract high-purity metals that could be used to make weapons and armor. Therefore, the medusas' bows and arrows were all changed to stone.
Unexpectedly, the taurens finally found a way to extract metal. They were indeed taurens who were proficient in smelting and forging!
"Mother! Come quickly! " Lysa's cry caught Queen Medusa's attention. Queen Medusa's snake body bounced and jumped up. Although she had no weapon, her strength was extraordinary. She punched all the way, and the demonic flies along the way fell like rain.
Queen Medusa came to Lysa's side and saw many weapons and arrows made of metal piled on the ground. They were obviously prepared for the medusas. She couldn't help but be overjoyed. Then, she heard Chen Rui's voice in her ears, "Your Royal Highness!"
Queen Medusa turned her head and saw two shiny silver things thrown over. It was a machete and a round shield of excellent quality. They were actually enchanted dark star iron weapons. A golden light flashed in the snake's eyes, and she actually slashed the machete at Chen Rui.
Athena was taken aback. Queen Medusa's movements were very fast. It was too late for her to rescue. However, she saw the three corrosive demonic flies behind Chen Rui, who were trying to sneak attack, stagnated and instantly turned into pieces. Only then did she understand Queen Medusa's intention.
Chen Rui bowed to Queen Medusa, "Your Royal Highness, please be sure to capture an elite elemental alive with the Chief Tauren!"
Queen Medusa stared at Chen Rui for a while, then she turned and walked toward the battle of the elite elemental.
Chen Rui secretly breathed a sigh of relief. When Queen Medusa attacked him just now, he was really taken aback. Tim, who was at the side, saw it and gave Chen Rui a thumbs up.
Athena waved the greatsword in her hand, but she did not transform. She cooperated with Chen Rui to protect Tim and the pregnant Lysa. She distributed weapons to the medusas. The greatsword carried a pale red sharp light, and the demonic flies that got close to it were torn apart. The greatsword in her hand was no longer a knockoff that would break easily. It was an enchanted weapon made of dark star iron. The significance of this greatsword was very special because it was forged by Chen Rui himself.
Originally, Athena had always thought that Chen Rui only learned forging on a whim. She had been accompanying him silently for the past few days. Of course, the forging "talent" that Chen Rui showed that shocked even the taurens also surprised Athena. However, when the embryo of the greatsword gradually took shape under his hands, Athena suddenly understood.
It was in front of the cottage in the green leaves forest where he said something.
"You need a better sword. I will definitely give you a good sword in the future."
What could be better than a sword forged by him? More valuable and meaningful?
Although he had incredible talent, he also experienced great hardships and hard work. Just to perfectly forge the body of the sword, he asked the Chief Tauren for advice no less than ten times. Finally, he succeeded.
He could not do the enchantment. The Bloodthirst above was completed by the Tauren priest, Torre. Due to the material characteristics of the dark star iron, there was a rare chance of double enchantment. This must be thanks to Chen Rui's luck. Athena firmly believed in this.
This sword was named by Athena as the "Guardian's Sword". It was meant to protect someone. Chen Rui felt a little awkward when he heard this. As a man, he should protect his woman. Why was it the other way around? He wanted Athena to change her name, but Athena listened to him on everything else. She even half-heartedly refused to take advantage of him. However, she refused to budge on this matter.
Chen Rui had no choice but to let her go. He would just treat it as the two of them protecting each other. Speaking of which, he seemed to have played a standalone game with this name in another world …
However, this was indeed a good sword. Guardian's Sword — Characteristic: Extremely sharp. Enchantment Attribute: Defense reduced by 20%, attack increased by 40%.
Although the defense was a little low, it was very suitable for Athena who liked to attack. In terms of defense, armor could be used to make up for it. The leather armor on Athena's body was also changed.
This leather armor was not made of ordinary leather, but the skin of a hydra. It was the best material for making armor. However, the tauren's leather armor making technique was far inferior to forging, so the craftsmanship was greatly reduced. It was still okay to use it. Anyway, there were two hydra skins in the storage warehouse. If it didn't work, he could make a better set in the future. Of course, there was nothing he couldn't bear to part with his woman, except during intimate times. It was best to be armed to the teeth normally.
With the arrival of the reinforcements and the newly replaced powerful weapons, the medusas' morale was greatly boosted. The fierce offensive of the demonic flies and the mutated earth elementals was gradually suppressed. The most difficult were the two mutated elite earth elementals, Tag and Sog. Originally, the strength of the two was slightly below Queen Medusa and Chief Tauren. Now, with Tag, who had similar strength, they were at an absolute disadvantage in the situation of three against two. If it weren't for their super strong defense and unpredictable earth magic, they would have been destroyed long ago.
The demonic flies and mutated earth elementals around the fountain of life were very dense. Even if they were affected by the power of a few Great Demon King-level powerhouses, they didn't retreat. They seemed to be casting something. This scene was similar to the Tauren's Lair.
Chen Rui watched from a distance, and a hypothesis was born in his mind: Could the enemy's goal be the fountain of life? Even if they couldn't destroy the medusas, they would constantly try to strengthen the "seed" of the evil eye in the battle, absorbing the power of the fountain of life until it dried up.
Sure enough, the demonic flies saw that they couldn't win. After surrounding the fountain of life for a while, they began to retreat with the mutated earth elementals.
At that moment, Chief Tauren howled. Queen Medusa remembered what Chen Rui said just now. Both of them exerted their strength at the same time and concentrated on the elite earth elemental who was trying to retreat. The elite earth elemental's body flew out and fell to the ground. As soon as it touched the ground, it seemed to recover some of its strength. It waved its hands continuously. Several rows of thick earth walls emerged from the ground, blocking the approaching figures of the two powerful enemies.
Taking advantage of the Chief Tauren and Queen Medusa breaking the earth wall, the elite earth elemental was about to escape. The surrounding land suddenly changed. Stone pillars grew out and bent into a cage, enveloping him. It was the earth magic, "Rock Prison". Earth magic had no effect on the elemental formed by the earth elementals. When the elite earth elemental touched the stone pillars of the Rock Prison, the originally hard stone pillars turned into powder and scattered to the ground.
At that moment, the cracks on the earth wall suddenly expanded and were shattered in an instant. The figures of Chief Tauren and Queen Medusa appeared. The elite earth elemental couldn't use magic for a while. It just curled its body into a round rock and wanted to turn into a rolling stone to escape.
A pale green figure emerged from the ground, its hands tightly clasped the round stone that was not completely closed. The power of the earth elemental on both sides canceled each other out, and it couldn't break free for a while.
At that time, the other elite earth elemental had already escaped alone, and the rest of the enemies also retreated like a tide. Chen Rui heard Delong's howl, "Chen Rui, come here!"
He knew that he had succeeded, so he quickly jumped forward. He saw that the elite earth elemental's body was tightly clasped by Tag, and its limbs were controlled by Queen Medusa and Chief Tauren.
"Now Sog's earth elemental power is temporarily controlled by me. He can't release magic, but it can't last long, so you have to be as fast as possible!" Tag's voice sounded a little strained.
Chen Rui was already prepared. When he heard Delong's voice and rushed over, he put on "Dark Will" on his left hand and drank the corresponding enhancement potion. He immediately stretched out his hand and activated < Aura Conversion >.
After the prompt to confirm the conversion, as expected, that pair of terrifying eyes appeared in Chen Rui's consciousness again. In an instant, the cold and evil gaze almost made Chen Rui's will collapse. Fortunately, he was mentally prepared this time. He relied on the conversion of the Super System and the spirit resistance of the Dark Will to persist.
Although the power of the evil eye on the elite earth elemental named Sog was powerful, it wasn't as endless as the fountain of life. Moreover, when he was prepared for the second battle, Chen Rui's resistance was a lot stronger, or rather, the intelligent absorption of the Super System had become stronger. About 20 minutes later, Sog's struggle gradually weakened, and the pale yellow light in his eyes began to weaken bit by bit.
About 10 minutes after Chen Rui activated < Aura Conversion > for the second time, Sog's eyes finally completely returned to white.
"That's enough, Tag. It's too uncomfortable to hold me like this." Sog's deep voice came out.
