Zhou Wen frowned slightly. Although what Lucas said made sense, he knew very well how powerful Medusa was. Even if Lucas could unleash the same power as he did in the manor, it would probably be difficult for him to injure Medusa.
However, under such circumstances, even if Zhou Wen persuaded Lucas, he definitely wouldn't listen to him. Even if he knew that it was death, he would definitely do it.
"Little sister, you said that you have a Companion Beast that can withstand Medusa's Eyes of Petrification, right? Is that really the case? "Zhou Wen asked Barbara.
"You're just a kid. Who are you calling little sister? I'm older than you, alright?" Barbara glared at Zhou Wen.
"Alright then. Missy, you said that a Companion Beast can withstand Medusa's Eyes of Petrification, right?" Zhou Wen asked her.
"So what if I am? Don't get any nefarious ideas, "Barbara said as she looked at Zhou Wen warily.
Zhou Wen pointed in Lucas's direction. "It's too dangerous for Lucas to fight Medusa. Why don't you lend him your Companion Beast?"
"Do you think I don't want to? However, my Companion Beast is a piece of clothing. It's only useful when I wear it. The clothes transformed from a Companion Beast can't be worn by others. How can I help him?" Barbara said.
"Clothes? Invisibility Cloak? "Zhou Wen asked in surprise.
Unless it was an Invisibility Cloak that Medusa couldn't see, Zhou Wen didn't know what other clothes could prevent him from being petrified by the Eyes of Petrification.
"What are you thinking? How can I have an Invisibility Cloak? My Companion Beast is a Sunshade Cloak. It doesn't have any invisibility functions, "Barbara said as she pointed at the cloak-like clothes on her body.
"It's this Companion Beast that can withstand Medusa's Eyes of Petrification?" Zhou Wen sized up Barbara's clothes.
The clothes were very loose, like a cloak. It wrapped around Barbara's entire body. It looked silver on the outside and was very eye-catching. It didn't look like it had any invisibility abilities.
"That's right. I'm very sure that it can withstand Medusa's Eyes of Petrification. Back then, when Medusa looked over, many people around me were petrified. Only I escaped unscathed," Barbara said.
"What Companion Beast is your sun-shielding cloak? What's its use?" Zhou Wen asked.
"The Sunshade Cloak was obtained after I killed a Legendary dimensional creature I encountered at the beach. Its name is Silverleaf Shell, and its companion form is the Sunshade Cloak. It has a certain level of defense, but it's not strong. It's mainly fireproof. After wearing it, even the flames of the Fire Sprites can't injure me in the Metalwork Temple."
"Just fire-resistant clothes? Furthermore, it's a low-level Legendary Companion Beast. It can actually withstand Medusa's Eyes of Petrification? The more Zhou Wen heard, the more incredulous he found it.
There were too many armors with fire-resistant properties, but none of them could defend against Medusa's Eyes of Petrification.
"It's up to you whether you believe me or not. Anyway, I'm telling the truth," Barbara said angrily when she saw that Zhou Wen didn't believe her.
Sunshade … Fire protection … Wait … Could it be because of this … Zhou Wen suddenly had an idea as he thought of a possibility.
According to what Zhou Wen knew, snakes didn't have good vision. It could be said that they were extremely nearsighted. As for some snakes, they had infrared pyrogen detection organs that could sense the body temperature of living creatures to track their prey.
Medusa wasn't a snake, but if she was a snake and her Eyes of Petrification also had infrared pyrogen detection functions, it could explain many things.
For example, why her Eyes of Petrification could only petrify creatures and not inanimate objects like buildings.
Another example was why Barbara's sunshade cloak could withstand Medusa's Eyes of Petrification. It was because not only was the sunshade cloak fireproof, but it also blocked Barbara's body temperature from spreading. Therefore, Medusa couldn't see her and naturally couldn't petrify her.
Of course, it was impossible for the Eyes of Petrification to be as simple as detecting body temperature. It was likely of a higher level, so even Companion Beasts could be petrified. However, by analogy, he could roughly figure out the main purpose of the Eyes of Petrification and think of a way to crack it.
Although Zhou Wen wasn't afraid of the Eyes of Petrification, Lucas didn't have such an ability.
When he thought of Lucas, he saw that he had already run to the bottom of the three-story building where Medusa was standing. He peeked his head out to check the situation as though he wanted to rush up.
This fool. Don't tell me he really wants to fight Medusa head-on? Just as Zhou Wen was thinking about it, he saw Lucas leap up with a huge ax in hand. With a terrifying Golden Divine Light, he cleaved at Medusa's neck from behind without any hesitation.
"Lord Lucas, all the best!" Barbara waved her fists excitedly as she cheered for Lucas. It was obvious that Lucas held a very high position in her heart.
Zhou Wen was also somewhat surprised by Lucas's strength. He had clearly expended his Primordial Energy not long ago, but now, he could produce a strike that wasn't inferior to the one in the manor. It was indeed surprising.
Could it be that the saying 'idiots aren't afraid of fatigue' is true? Zhou Wen thought to himself.
It wasn't a bad idea for Lucas to sneak up on Medusa from behind. Unfortunately, Medusa didn't only have a pair of eyes. The venomous snakes formed from her hair were all her eyes.
Just as Lucas jumped up, he was discovered by Medusa. Medusa turned her head to look at Lucas, who was in midair, cleaving down with his ax with both hands.
It's over! Zhou Wen sighed inwardly. Although he wanted to help Lucas, he didn't have time to do so. Furthermore, even if he did, he wouldn't be able to deal with Medusa. He could only ensure that he could escape.
Something that exceeded Zhou Wen's expectations happened. Medusa's gaze landed on Lucas's body, which was enveloped by golden divine light. She failed to petrify his body. However, the golden light on Lucas's body dissipated, and the god-like golden light vanished. He flew out like a cannonball.
Boom!
Lucas's body crashed into a building, shattering the glass windows of the building.
"Even Lord Lucas …" Barbara covered her mouth and widened her eyes, as though she couldn't believe her eyes.
"Go and see how Lucas is doing. I'll lure Medusa away." When Zhou Wen saw that Medusa was chasing after Lucas, he said to Barbara and rushed out of the building.
"Do you have a death wish?" Barbara reacted and wanted to pull Zhou Wen, but Zhou Wen had already rushed out of the building. He leaped into the air and slashed at Medusa with a huge sword in his hand.
The sword beam that resembled a sun spun violently as it slashed at Medusa. The venomous snakes on Medusa's head faced the sword beam. Many of the venomous snakes that could even mince a helicopter were sliced apart by the sword beam. When they landed on the ground, they turned into black hair.
Medusa didn't chase after Lucas and turned to look at Zhou Wen.
Barbara was alarmed, believing that Zhou Wen was doomed. However, she was surprised to discover that Zhou Wen, who had landed on the long street, wasn't petrified.
