The Forest of Medusa is a peculiar forest not far from the Wolf District.

This place evolved from the crater left over from a huge meteorite impact tens of thousands of years ago. It is a basin formed acquired. Rainwater converges from the surrounding highlands, but it is not enough to gather into a lake, so it forms swamps of varying sizes. In addition, the basin terrain brings direct sunlight for less than two hours a day, forming such a dark and humid forest.

Such forests are not suitable for humans and ordinary wild animals, but are a paradise for all kinds of snakes, insects, rats and ants.

"Gran, what is Medusa?" Xiaoyuer asked at the warning sign on the side of the road.

The warning sign seems to be a while ago, with green vines crawling on it. I don’t know who wrote it, but it just reads the sentence "Medusa is in front of you, be careful!" There is also a portrait under the sign, which seems to be Medusa, with sharp teeth and flying hair, but... Thanks to the strange style of the person standing on the sign, this portrait that should have been hideous now reveals a kind of cuteness of childlike charm everywhere.

"A half-human and half-snake monster, extremely beautiful, will turn the creatures it sees into stones," said Scotland.

"Can it really turn into a stone?" Xiaoyuer was a little surprised.

"It's possible that Medusa can do it, but it's a fake one."

"Grand has seen it?!"

"Yes, I've seen it." As if thinking of something, Scotland smiled helplessly.

"What does she look like?"

"The one on that sign is her self-portrait."

"She set this sign up by herself..." Xiao Yu'er stared at the warning sign for a long time, but unfortunately the simple and weird painting really couldn't reveal more.

"Okay." Seeing that Xiaoyuer seemed to have almost rested, Scotland stood up.

"Let's go, you'll see it later. We're here to find her this time."

...

In order to compete for the pitiful sunshine, the leaves of the plants in the Medusa Forest grew particularly large, blocking the already dark forest even darker.

Before entering the dark forest, Scotland stopped, took out two handkerchiefs from his luggage, wet them with water from the kettle, and handed one to the little fish.

"There is poisonous gas in this forest. You can isolate it by covering your nose with a wet cloth. The rest can be untie after finding the 'fake Medusa'."

Xiaoyuer nodded and took the handkerchief.

It was a square handkerchief with a simple smiley face painted in the center... It was obviously just a simple smiley face, and only a few simple lines, but it revealed a strange sense of gloomy and horror.

This style seems familiar...

Before Xiaoyuer could ask more questions, Scotland took Xiaoyuer's hand, grabbed the handkerchief with the other hand and covered his nose, and walked into the depths of the forest.

Xiaoyuer also covered her nose and followed.

...

The deeper you go to the forest, the darker it gets around, and the distance you can see becomes shorter and shorter. In the past, Scotland should prepare torches, but this time...

He wanted to try a new method.

Scotland stopped, then slowly closed his eyes, focused his attention on his mental power, and then slowly spread his mental power...

The elements that were permeating the air entered his "eye" again, but this time Scotland did not dare to control them at will anymore... Before finding a way to solve the chaos of the elements, he had made up his mind not to try to control the elements easily.

He focused his mental power on the exploration of surrounding scenery. Soon, a clear three-dimensional picture of surrounding scenery was formed in his mind, and even the poisonous snakes hidden in the grass and the bugs lying on the leaves were clearly visible.

He has done this step before, and this time it was easy, but the next one...

He had to divide his attention into two parts, one manipulated his mental power to explore the surroundings, and the other controlled his body movement. He had to be careful to avoid snakes, insects, rats and ants, and he had to pay attention to whether any animals would suddenly attack further away.

This may sound complicated, but it is actually not difficult. Just like when you walk, your eyes will look at the road, just use your mental power as your eyes.

Thinking of this, Scotland tried to control his body and walked forward. His mental power was still exploring the surroundings. However, as the body moved, his attention was dispersed, and the exploration range narrowed to about a hundred meters around him... Even so, it was several times longer than the range of the torch light, and it was extremely clear and would not ignore some hidden dangers.

But compared to the last exploration scope, this time it is more than a little less.

Scotland vaguely felt that the use of mental power this time seemed a little different from the last time...

What I have to say is that when I used my mental power last time, I was not in my body, but this time I was controlling my body in my body.

After making a conclusion, Scotland no longer thought about this. In this state, his mental power seemed to be consumed particularly quickly, and it was not the time to think about it carefully.

But he still recorded this matter silently.

The other end of his hand was holding a steady stream of mental power came from, making up for Scotland's consumption - it was because the little fish realized that Scotland was using mental power, so they used their abilities to help Scotland recover.

Scotland smiled and continued to walk forward with the little fish.

Think about it carefully, last time Xiaoyuer used her mental strength to help her recover while following her side... Isn't that the same as what she is doing?

This little girl is quite amazing.

...

Something seems to have happened in the Forest of Medusa.

The number of snakes, insects, rats and ants in the grass is several times more than when Scotland came last time, and the poisonous gas in the air seems to have become thicker, even...

Scotland stopped and held Xiaoyu's hand tightened.

In the picture of mental exploration, a snake appeared in front of him...a big snake, as thick as his waist, and the raised head was hidden in the canopy, and the upright torso looked like a tree trunk.

At this moment, the snake eyes with big fists were staring at him and Xiaoyuer...
