Douluo: Wuhun Eats Iron Beast, Never Become a Slave

Chapter 85 Temple Exploration
"Brother, you are the strongest. Even if you encounter danger, you will be able to overcome it. Hei Bai and I will only become a burden to you. So, you and Hei Bai go into the Medusa Temple, and I will keep watch for you outside." Zhao Mu said seriously, almost believing it himself.

But what he got in return was the contempt of Dugu Bo and the black and white man and beast. Believe me, there is something fishy going on.

In the end, Zhao Mu was dragged along. The two men and the beast carefully pushed open the heavy temple door and all entered the Medusa Temple.

"Brother, after we enter the temple, you must take care of me. We are sworn brothers and will live and die together."

Dugu Bo rolled his eyes at Zhao Mu and said unhappily, "We didn't say that when we became sworn brothers. We just wanted to share happiness and hardships together."

"."

The Temple of Medusa is not very regular. Apart from the pillars inside the temple, the ground is covered with broken stones, making the ground a bit uneven.

If Zhao Mu and Dugu Bo had not practiced blocking their vision in advance, it would have been difficult for them to walk normally in this terrain.

In addition, there are human-shaped stone statues standing in the temple. If nothing unexpected happens, these stone statues should be the soul masters who have previously sneaked into the Medusa Temple.

Even the rubble on the ground was formed from the broken stone statues of the petrified soul masters.

After carefully observing the surrounding environment, Zhao Mu, Dugu Bo and Hei Bai had entered the Medusa Temple for nearly half an hour, but still had not found a Medusa.

Although the interior of the temple is very large, the group has already visited most of the temple. If, as Dugu Bo said, there are at least a dozen Medusas gathered here, it is impossible that they have not seen a single one yet.

"Brother, are you sure there is Medusa here?" Zhao Mu couldn't help but ask.

Dugu Bo nodded. "When I first came here, there were indeed quite a few Medusas here, but that was many years ago. Could it be that all the Medusas in the Medusa Temple have left?"

As they walked, they arrived at the very center of the Medusa Temple.

The temperature here is unusually high. To be precise, after entering the Temple of Medusa, the temperature has been gradually rising as the people go deeper.

It was not until here that everyone discovered that there was a deep pit in the center of the palace right in front of them. In the deep pit was thick magma that was boiling hot and bubbling from time to time. As the hot bubbles burst, bursts of pungent smell of hot saltpeter filled the air.

In the center of the magma pool, there is a huge stone platform, on which stands a two or three meter high stone statue.

This stone statue is different from the other stone statues around it. It has a regular shape and behavior, a human body and a snake tail, a graceful upper body, and a pretty face. The most important thing is the statue's hair, which is actually made of small snakes dancing.

Medusa?
Or maybe this is the statue that the Medusas mentioned by Dugu Bo are worshipping!
hiss~
When Zhao Mu and his companions stopped to look at the statue of Medusa, there was suddenly some movement in the hall.

Accompanied by hissing sounds, figures emerged like snakes, coiling around the surrounding sacred pillars and stone statues, and swung their weapons to stab at Zhao Mu and his group.

Long before the other party took action, Zhao Mu and Dugu Bo had already noticed the unusual movement, and Hei Bai's ears were shaking, and they heard the sound in advance.

Faced with the sudden attack, everyone dodged in time.

After landing on his feet again, even though his eyes were blindfolded, he could still tell who attacked him. It was none other than the Medusa that lived in the temple. One, two, three, four, five
"There are eleven Medusas in total!" Zhao Mu determined the number of the enemy by listening to the sound and locating them.

Dugu Bo sneered disdainfully, "I was wondering why we didn't encounter a Medusa at the beginning. I'm afraid they noticed us the moment we entered the temple. They hid themselves so they could launch a fatal sneak attack on us."

"After all, the actual combat capabilities of these beasts are rubbish!"

While blocking their vision and practicing positioning by sound, Zhao Mu and Dugu Bo's hearing and other senses were also strengthened, so they could detect the tiny sounds of the other party's sneak attacks in time. Moreover, this enhancement of other senses was permanent, and even when they opened their eyes, the improvement in hearing was still obvious.

Although Medusa can turn anyone who sees her face and eyes into a stone statue, this can only be regarded as a passive skill at best. Medusa's active combat capability is extremely poor. They are not as strong as other soul beasts, but more anthropomorphic. Including the Medusas that surrounded Zhao Mu and others, they all used human weapons, either long forks or bows and arrows in their hands.

After realizing this, Zhao Mu felt relieved.

It’s like facing some big things. You feel nervous before starting, but after you start, you find that it’s just like that.

Although the sneak attack failed, these Medusas did not stop, but continued to attack Zhao Mu, Dugu Bo, and Hei Bai.

Medusa, holding a bow and arrow, locked onto several people from a distance, while those holding long forks twisted their snake bodies and pounced on them.

Facing more than a dozen Medusas, the soul rings under Zhao Mu's feet rose one by one, and the first soul ring glowed faintly.

Roar!
With a roar, the black and white figure instantly rose up, with arcs of electricity raging all over its body, turning into a thunder form.

He lunged forward and roared again in an instant.

Thunder rumbled and the huge roar stimulated everyone's eardrums.

"First Soul Skill, Thunder Roar!"

Zhao Mu and Dugu Bo were better off, but the Medusas couldn't help but drop their weapons and cover their ears with their hands in pain.

When you are outnumbered, using crowd control skills first is always the right answer.

As Thunder Roar temporarily controlled the Medusas, Zhao Mu was able to ask Dugu Bo: "How old are these Medusas? Are there any that are suitable for me?"

At this time, Dugu Bo also waved his hand, sending a Medusa flying. He then said to Zhao Mu, "These dozen Medusas are thousands of years old. If you don't mind, you can choose one."

"Only a thousand years? There's not even one that's ten thousand years old?"

Dugu Bo nodded. "These minions are probably just being sent out as the vanguard. Those ten-thousand-year-old Medusas are probably still waiting for an opportunity to attack us! These Medusas don't just have half human bodies; they also possess human thinking abilities."

Just as Dugu Bo was introducing Zhao Mu, a figure was slowly climbing up from the magma pool behind Zhao Mu with his back to him and appeared behind him. As if aware of Zhao Mu and the others' keen hearing, the figure moved extremely slowly and carefully, making almost no sound. Only after getting close to Zhao Mu did he raise the long fork in his hand and stab Zhao Mu.
