In addition to Dumb and Abba, Gao Peng could also look into the eyes of the Medusa. After all, the damage had been transferred to Dumb …
However, this Medusa's temper was still very good. It was completely different from the ferocious Medusas in myths.
The Medusa and Gao Peng looked at each other and said softly, "There are very few monsters who can look me in the eye and talk to me. Can you talk to me for a while?"
"Of course, I'd love to." Gao Peng's face showed a standard formal smile.
The Medusa smiled.
Dumb followed behind Gao Peng as a bodyguard.
As long as this Medusa showed any signs of abnormality, it would immediately break its neck.
Gao Peng and this Medusa talked for a long time.
It was said that this Medusa came from another labyrinth far away from here. It was born there, a giant labyrinth that was dozens of times larger than this one.
After it became an adult, it was driven out of the labyrinth by its mother. Medusas were a group that did not like to live in groups.
Their solitary nature made it difficult for them to coexist with others of their kind except during the breeding period.
Even their own descendants were treated the same.
Listening to this Medusa, its mother was a rare good-tempered one. She had raised it until it became an adult before driving it away.
Of course, Medusas did not have a clear gender. In fact, this was a hermaphrodite monster.
At least the Medusas in the Black Fog World were like this.
When they mated, they would coil their tails like snakes. The stronger one would become the "mother" and the weaker one would become the "father."
Therefore, it was very likely that they would become fathers. It was also possible that they would become mothers.
Gao Peng listened with great interest. This was cold knowledge that he had never heard before.
"Then do you want to come with me? I'm a wandering monster trainer. These are all my familiars. Let's go on an adventure together. You may meet another new Medusa. "Gao Peng tempted this Earth Medusa.
However, the Earth Medusa rejected Gao Peng.
These temptations did not work on it. It did not like to interact with other Medusas, nor did it like lively environments.
It liked to stay alone in the depths of the labyrinth, watching the changes of the four seasons. It felt that this was the most beautiful scenery in the world.
Gao Peng didn't understand this mentality, but since they didn't want to follow him, he couldn't force them.
After Gao Peng and the others left, Medusa returned to the depths of the maze.
In the depths of the labyrinth was a small and exquisite stone house. In front of the stone house was a spacious open space with exquisite stone sculptures.
The stone sculptures were of different sizes. The smallest one was a fist-sized stone sparrow. The sparrow's wings were folded and it had a gentle expression. Its eyelids were drooping as if it was asleep.
The big ones had all kinds of strange monsters.
The Earth Medusa sat on the stone bench, her hands supporting her chin as she stared at these sculptures in a daze. Then, she slowly closed her eyes.
A hundred years ago, a half-meter-tall young Medusa left the labyrinth for the first time and came to the forest outside. A group of small sparrows flew over the forest. It had never seen a sparrow before and was very curious.
At that time, it had not awakened the Eye of Medusa. Being kind, it quickly became friends with these sparrows.
Then, one day, when it was playing with the sparrows, a sharp-toothed wolf suddenly rushed out of the forest. At the critical moment, it awakened the Eye of Medusa and petrified the wolf.
However, two sparrows accidentally flew in front of it and turned into stone after making eye contact with it.
The other sparrows flew away in fear. They thought it was a monster and an ominous one. From then on, they never appeared again.
The little medusa curled up on the ground, holding the two sparrows that had turned into stone. It had used its hair to save the two sparrows. One of them had escaped after being saved, while the other was willing to stay and become friends with it.
This was also its only friend.
A sparrow.
Later on, although it tried its best to avoid contact, the lethality of its eyes was too terrifying. There were always times when it accidentally hurt the sparrows.
All the monsters that were willing to make friends with it with various purposes left in the end, leaving only this sparrow.
It remembered very clearly that it had accidentally "hurt" this sparrow friend six times and petrified it a total of six times.
The sparrow didn't seem to mind at all. Every time the petrification curse was lifted, it would happily circle around its head. "Hey, this is great. I think I'm alive again. What do you think?"
Every time this happened, the Medusa would lower its head and not dare to look up at its friend. It was afraid that it would accidentally hurt it again. "I'll be careful next time."
It was funny to say that it and the sparrow had been friends for 30 years. However, after awakening the Eye of Medusa, the number of times they really looked at each other could be counted on one hand.
The lifespan of a sparrow was limited. A normal sparrow's lifespan was only 10 years. However, this sparrow friend's lifespan was extended to 30 years after eating many spirit fruits given by the Medusa. However, this was already the limit.
At the last moment of its life, the sparrow said to it, "I don't think you're like a Medusa. I've never heard of a Medusa as kind as you."
"Do you know? A kind Medusa like you is the easiest to deceive, "the sparrow said solemnly. At this time, the sparrow's eyelashes had turned white. The feathers on the top of its head and wings had all turned gray. It was too old and looked like a wise person.
"Do you know that when we first came in contact with you, we just wanted to cheat some spirit fruits from you?" the sparrow said.
"Why would a sparrow take the initiative to become friends with a Medusa? It's because we know that you're a Medusa. We know that the small fruit in your pocket is a spirit fruit. Eating it can extend our lifespan. That's why we got close to you. "
The Medusa was not angry. Instead, it smiled faintly. "That's also very good."
The Medusa did not care about these spirit fruits. There were many fruit trees in its mother's yard. It could pick any fruit to eat. If it could use the spirit fruits to exchange for some friends, that would be the best thing to do.
"You …" The sparrow suddenly did not know what to say. This idiot was just a fool. It wanted to be angry, but it could not bear to be angry at it.
However … it was also because of its stupidity that it was willing to be friends with it.
The sparrow smiled helplessly. It looked up at the sky. The two blue moons hung high in the sky, making the back garden especially quiet under the night sky.
"Medusa, I want to see you," the sparrow suddenly said.
"Okay." The Medusa raised its head and closed its eyes. Its light green skin was dyed blue by the moonlight. Its smooth and clean face looked delicate.
The sparrow looked at it for five seconds without blinking. "I want to see you with your eyes open."
"You'll be petrified," the Medusa said with her eyes closed.
"… I've lived for too long. I might die of old age tonight. I want to see you for real before I die. When I'm petrified, don't remove my petrification. Just let me be a stone to accompany you," the sparrow said seriously.
The Medusa opened her eyes. The sparrow stood on the branch and looked at the Medusa.
"Your eyes are so beautiful."
This was the sparrow's last sentence before it turned into stone.
