GOR Chapter 81: Side Effects Of The Fountain Of Youth
Queen Medusa?
Hearing this name, even Hussain's face changed slightly.
Although Du Wei did not know much about the system and information regarding Magical Beasts, after chatting with Dadaneier along the way, he gradually learned a lot about Magical Beasts. After all, when Dadaneier was young, he had been a mercenary and hunted Magical Beasts before. In addition, he had collected a lot of information regarding this matter before coming out to find the Golden Eye Python.
Queen Medusa was basically the ultimate form of the Golden-Eyed Python, the highest form of magic beasts. Originally, the Golden Eye Python could already be considered as a high level Magical Beast. After evolving into Medusa, it could be considered as a top level Magical Beast!
There were thousands of types of Magical Beasts. However, after evolving to the highest level, only Queen Medusa could transform into human form!
The three of them had never seen Queen Medusa's true appearance. However, according to legend, this top level Magical Beast could transform into human form. Moreover, it was an exceptionally beautiful woman. She had a head of beautiful golden hair and a pair of beautiful eyes … however, this was where the horror came from. Her eyes still retained the instincts of the Golden Eye Python. By staring at the enemy, she could petrify the enemy! Moreover, her power was even stronger. As for her hair … her hair could transform into tens of thousands of pythons at any time! Every one of them was a Golden Eye Python!
What kind of concept was this? It was the equivalent of facing an army of Golden Eye Pythons when facing Queen Medusa!
When Queen Medusa became angry, she could transform back into her snake form … however, she would transform into a huge python, incomparably huge! Her body could easily crush a city! Her incomparably huge body was enough to bring disaster to the human world!
The most terrifying thing was that Queen Medusa was currently known to possess the highest intelligence among all the Magical Beasts! Queen Medusa not only possessed terrifying abilities, more importantly, she also possessed an intelligent and cunning mind! If it was a powerful Magical Beast, humans could still use their intelligence to deal with it. However, Medusa's intelligence was comparable to that of a wise man among humans!
The most frightening thing was that Queen Medusa, who possessed intellect comparable to humans, could use this intellect to learn! They could learn the fruits of human civilization … They could even learn magic! Learn other magic that they didn't know!!
With its powerful strength and intelligence, this type of magical beast was publicly acknowledged as the most terrifying type of magical beast known to the present.
Some Magicians even thought that it was fortunate that a magical beast like Queen Medusa rarely appeared. This was because magical beasts like the Golden-eyed Python had weak reproductive abilities, and it would take many years of cultivation before it could evolve. It was even more rare for a Golden-eyed Python to evolve into a Medusa! Because of this, there were very few records of Medusa appearing in history … at least not in the past three hundred years. Every time Queen Medusa appeared in history, she would bring disaster to mankind!
If … If there were more Medusa, those Magicians would even think that this type of Magical Beast could even threaten the status of the most powerful creatures known as the "Dragons"!
Seeing that the three humans couldn't help but reveal nervous expressions, Gege Wu was very satisfied. It seemed that his bargaining chip to save his life had increased a little. However, Hussain quickly dispelled his attempt. In a cold tone, he said, "Go on. Don't think that a Medusa can scare me."
Indeed, the most frightening thing about Medusa wasn't their "Petrification Gaze" spell, or the countless Golden-eyed Python subordinates that they could transform into with their hair. Or perhaps they could transform into a monster python with infinite strength …
The most frightening thing was their intellect. It was their learning ability! Think about it, a top Magical Beast originally had innate magic power and the innate sensitivity of a Magical Beast, but she also had superb learning ability! If she were to learn other types of magic! Fire, wind, water … and so on.
They had a long lifespan and wisdom. If they were really allowed to learn … a Queen Medusa would also be a terrifying super Magician! What kind of concept was that?
"Fortunately, it was a Medusa who hid in this canyon and didn't come into contact with the outside world." Du Wei said this and suddenly frowned at Gege Wu. "She didn't kill you. Could it be that she wanted to learn magic from you?"
Gege Wu's eyes immediately shrank. He stammered, "This … I …"
Du Wei sighed. "I know. Sigh, I don't blame you. At that time, in order to save your life, you were forced to do something. I also don't blame you."
Du Wei was surprisingly easy to talk to, but Gege Wu hurriedly defended himself. "No … Although I did teach her a lot of magic over the years, my real power is still limited. But my true magic ability is limited to begin with, and … she can't learn the transformation spell that I'm best at, so … "
Gege Wu paused for a moment, and then this timid mouse sighed. "That day … I remember. She grabbed my neck with her hand, pinched my neck with two fingers, and lifted me up from the spring. My body wasn't that big at that time, only the size of a little mouse. I thought I was going to die, but after she caught me, she looked at me for a long time, and then asked me a question: Did you drink this spring water just now? "
Du Wei's eyes lit up. Looking at Gege Wu's mouse body, as if thinking of something, he immediately asked, "You answered?"
"Of course! At that time, I was completely stupid and could only admit it. That damned Fountain of Youth, so what if I drank it … Furthermore, that damned thing really caused me to be in a miserable state! "
"And then? She spared you? "Du Wei asked.
Gege Wu's eyes were a little strange. "She said: You are also one of the victims, so I won't kill you, because now there is finally someone who is in the same situation as me."
"So that's how it is." Du Wei suddenly smiled, as if he had understood something. Looking at Gege Wu, he said with a smile, "I pity you. For so many years, you have been a mouse."
"Did you guess something?" Hussain looked at Du Wei.
"Let's let our Prime Minister explain." Du Wei narrowed his eyes and smiled. "It seems that there is something wrong with that fountain of youth, right?"
Gege Wu immediately poured out his grievances. "It's more than just inappropriate! It's simply a harmful thing! Before we came in, the Treant talked about the fountain of youth, and even I thought it was a good thing. It can let the Treant live a long life, and it can also let the magical beasts advance. Maybe it's good for people to drink it. But after I drank it, I suffered a lot!! "
According to Gege Wu's explanation, this fountain of youth seemed to be very useful for the Treant and the magical beasts. But for humans … it was useless!
This fountain could let the Treant live a long life … In fact, after Gege Wu's personal experience, this was a kind of thing similar to the "Slow Spell", which slowed down the metabolism of life by countless times! It was so slow that it was almost "solidified".
Unfortunately, after people drank this thing, it did not have any benefits to increase their lifespan, but it "solidified" in other aspects! For example, this poor mage Gege Wu, a great mage who was good at transformation, was unlucky. That night, he was busy running for his life and turned into the smallest and most agile mouse!
As a result, after falling into the fountain and drinking the fountain … he was forever "solidified" in the form of a mouse! He could no longer turn back into a human or anything else … In this life, he could only be a mouse!
"This is a kind of state solidification." Gege Wu sighed, "For humans, it is more like an eternal solidification spell … I think this fountain is good for the magical beasts and the Treant, but for humans, it is only harmful and not beneficial! Oh no … Maybe, there are only two benefits for humans! "
"What?"
"The first is healing. Heavy injuries can be cured immediately and automatically healed. But this ability is not very useful. Using holy water and magic healing spells can also do the same. But the other benefit is … anti-corrosion! " Gege Wu smiled bitterly, "Although after drinking it, the lifespan will not change, but after a person dies, the fountain will transform the human body, so that the human body will never rot! The physiological body will be maintained in a good state. It's that simple.
Sure enough, it was like this.
Du Wei smiled bitterly. There were only these two benefits for humans. Originally, he thought that it was very precious, but it seemed that it was not very useful.
Healing injuries … There were indeed many substitutes. There was no need to challenge a top level Queen Medusa for this.
As for anti-corrosion … Du Wei did not care about whether his body would rot or not after he died. If it did not rot, wouldn't it turn him into a mummy? What a joke!
But suddenly … a thought flashed through Du Wei's mind.
So to say, the body of the peerless expert who died thousands of years ago, Aragon, would also be preserved forever? He he …
This thought casually flashed through Du Wei's mind, but he did not think much about it.
"It seems that's the case." Du Wei frowned, "But what I don't understand is, why did the Queen Medusa say 'we are both victims'? She was originally a magical beast, so she should have received a lot of benefits. "
"Of course, she was originally a Golden Eye Python. It was only after drinking this fountain that she evolved. However, this fountain water also caused her to lose a precious ability, which is transfiguration. When she evolved into Medusa, she had already turned into a human form, but she could never turn back into a snake. "
Dadaneier frowned, "Isn't it good to turn into a human form? What's the loss if she can't turn back into a snake? "
Du Wei sighed and looked deeply at Dadaneier. He smiled and whispered, "Dadaneier, this is a typical human way of thinking. Because we are humans, of course, we feel that being a human form is the best. However, let me make a comparison. Dragons are stronger than humans, but do you want to be a dragon, and a dragon forever? You can no longer eat human food, you can no longer make human friends, you can no longer sleep in a soft bed, drink good wine, or even find a beautiful woman to sleep with … Let's not talk about anything else. If you have a need, and your consciousness is that of a human, but you're asked to mate with a 'beautiful female dragon', would you be willing to do so? All the human life will be lost … Would you be willing? "
Probably because he imagined the scene of mating with a 'beautiful female dragon', Dadaneier's face immediately turned pale, and he shook his head, "Of course not!! I don't want to! "
"That's right." Du Wei smiled, "You and I both feel that being a human is the most comfortable. Then Queen Medusa is the same. Although she can transform into a human form, after all, her previous life was a snake. Naturally, she felt that being a snake was the most comfortable. After becoming a human, she lost her life as a snake. Naturally, she would feel uncomfortable. "
Although Gege Wu didn't say anything, his eyes couldn't help but reveal a sense of sadness, and he couldn't help but sigh deeply.
"Gege Wu, tell me, since you turned into a little mouse, how did you become such a big body? Your body size should be about the same as a human's body size. " Du Wei smiled, and his tone was much gentler. In his heart, he already had some sympathy for this guy who turned from a human into a mouse.
"It took me many years to become like this." Gege Wu sighed, "Of course, I don't want to be a mouse forever. I want to turn back into a human. Unfortunately, I was fixed in the shape of a mouse, and my transformation magic lost its effect. I've tried many times, but in the end, I realized that the most I can do is make myself slightly bigger. That's the limit of what I can do. I can freely change my size, but if I want to change into another form, it is absolutely impossible. Queen Medusa originally wanted to learn my magic, but since she was also fixed in the shape of a human, then she can't learn my transformation magic. "
"Then what's the matter with this kingdom?" Du Wei smiled.
"This …" Gege Wu thought for a while, and his answer surprised Du Wei and the others. "I came up with this idea. Anyway, I was really bored. Queen Medusa didn't kill me, nor did she control my actions. She knew very well that I couldn't escape … If I escaped to the human world as a human-shaped mouse, I would be burned to death as an evil thing, and even be regarded as a monster! In this big world, this is the only place where I can stay. "Gege Wu's tone was very sad," Even if she let me go, I have nowhere to go. So, I was very bored, so I simply built a kingdom here. Medusa thought it was very interesting, so … "
"But why … are there mice everywhere?" Du Wei smiled and said, "Since I entered the canyon, the thing I saw the most were mice! Don't tell me that because you are a mouse, you turned this whole kingdom into a mouse kingdom? "
Gege Wu rolled his eyes and sighed helplessly, "Do you think I want to? Get a bunch of magical beasts? Those powerful magical beasts might swallow me up one day when I'm not paying attention! Queen Medusa won't protect me all the time! My proudest transformation technique is gone, and I don't dare to live with a bunch of magical beasts! After thinking about it, the best way is to not find magical beasts, but ordinary animals. But this is the Frozen Forest! There are no ordinary animals here. Even if there were a thousand years ago, they would have been eaten up by magical beasts! In this kind of place, ordinary animals have no ability to protect themselves and have gone extinct long ago. However, mice are different! "
Du Wei immediately nodded, "Yes! Even if the living environment is very bad, in any place in this world, in any era, I have heard of any race going extinct, but I have never heard of mice going extinct! So, in this forest, the only ordinary animals left are the weakest, but the strongest in vitality and reproduction, mice! Am I right? "
"Yes, my method was approved by Medusa. Then, I gathered a group of mice and fed each of them a small drop of spring water from the Fountain of Youth. The spring water has the effect of evolution for magical beasts. It turns out that it is also useful for animals, but not for humans … however, those mice that drank a drop of spring water all evolved and became intelligent, with strong bodies … just like humans. It's a pity that after they evolved, they lost their ability to reproduce and reproduce. "
Du Wei's face suddenly sank and he glanced at Gege Wu, "Fortunately, that is the case! Otherwise, you would be a sinner for all of humanity! "
Gege Wu was stunned for a moment. He carefully thought about it and could not help but feel scared!
Why?
These are mice! When mice are weak, have no intelligence, and are low-level creatures, they are known for their strong survival and reproduction ability!
Imagine, mice can become about the same size as humans, with about the same level of intelligence! Add that terrifying ability to reproduce … then … when the 'mouse men' reproduce, wouldn't it endanger the survival of humans?
Gege Wu opened his mouth and suddenly said, "You are right! I nearly caused a terrible disaster! "
Du Wei patted Gege Wu's shoulder. However, he quickly retracted his hand. There was a disgusted look on his face as he forced out a smile, "However, this country of yours is quite decent. I believe your days as the Prime Minister must be very comfortable, right?"
"Do you think I like being the Prime Minister?" Gege Wu appeared as though he was about to jump up. His pair of mouse eyes stared widely, "Do you think teaching a group of mice that have transformed into humans to speak, teaching them the rules and teaching them civilization is a very interesting thing? Additionally, this damned country, back then, I was simply bored and brought a group of mice over. Now, I have become the leader of the mice! That Queen Medusa usually does not care about anything. She is always sleeping! The hundreds of mice in the canyon eat, drink, and defecate, all of which I have to manage! Do you know how much effort I have to spend to train these mice to not defecate anywhere? "
"Wait a minute." Du Wei suddenly heard an important message from his words, "You said … Medusa, she is always sleeping?"
Gege Wu immediately woke up and said in a low voice, "Yes, she is always sleeping. Her palace is built on top of the Fountain of Youth. The fountain is in her bedroom. She is always sleeping, only waking up once every ten years. "
Waking up once every ten years.
Du Wei and the other two looked at each other … it seems that there is still a chance!
