”I'll help you!” Heidi flew out of the ravine and swiftly approached Mo Fan's position.
Heidi was a sentimental person too. She would not want to see the Steel-Armored Beast sacrifice itself after helping the convoy to reach safety.
When Heidi entered the area, space began to twist extensively. The Black Medusae that were initially moving swiftly slowed down significantly, as if they had entered an invisible swamp.
Hundreds of Black Medusae were slowed down by the swamp-like spatial power. As they did, the lightning with twelvefold damage amplification gave them no chance of survival. They were turned into black ash immediately, their Soul Remnants and Soul Essences flying into Mo Fan's Pendant!
The smaller creatures were massacred brutally. A bigger male Medusa could not stand it any longer.
Its body had a hint of red. A brownish color symbolized the lowest level for both the Medusas and the Gorgons. Black was the next level, and red was the symbol of the Commander-levels. Their color was not fixed, but would shift gradually as their cultivation and strength improved.
The male Medusa was dark red, indicating that it was a Commander-level creature. If it was bright red, it would likely be a dangerous Ruler-level creature. Even the army would not dare challenge a Ruler-level creature recklessly.
The Dark Red Male Medusa was not particularly big. It lifted half of its body into the air, like a sturdy tree with an oval head. Its scales were smooth and densely packed. Its poisonous fangs were concealed inside its mouth, but the hood along its neck was fully extended, making its head look four times bigger than its initial size!
It was a sign that the Medusa was enraged. The extended hood projected a large shadow below it, and Mo Fan and Heidi started feeling a little dizzy...
”Don't look at the skin under its hood, it can make you hallucinate!” the old mercenary shouted at them.
Heidi and Mo Fan finally noticed the strange patterns on the male Medusa's hood. The patterns had a hallucinatory effect. Many living creatures had been swallowed alive by the creature and slowly digested by it after falling unconscious from hallucinations!
Mo Fan and Heidi backed away slightly to create some distance between them and the male Medusa. The strange patterns were like a strong mental attack. The redder these creatures were, the closer their capabilities came to the real Medusa. They were experts at confusing their targets, placing them under illusions, and inflicting mental damage on them!
”You take care of the Lesser Medusae,” Mo Fan said.
Heidi frowned. She grunted in a displeased tone, ”I'll take care of it, go save the Steel-Armored Beast!”
The Steel-Armored Beast was still holding onto its last breath. The smaller Black Medusae were not too fond of its hard meat, and the bigger Medusae were not willing to swallow it due to its heavy weight.
The fact had allowed the Steel-Armored Beast to stay alive this long, but it was suffering from serious injuries. It would still die from their poison, even if the Medusae ignored it.
”Blink!”
Mo Fan noticed that he was too slow. He quickly cast the Advanced Space Magic.
Mo Fan vanished amid silver sparkles, and ripples suddenly spread out in the air around three hundred and thirty-meters ahead of his previous location. A figure swiftly took shape there, resolving into none other than Mo Fan in his black coat!
As soon as Mo Fan showed up, another male Medusa with the same red-black color lunged at him from only twenty meters away. Mo Fan did not even have the chance to see the creature's true appearance. He only saw its poisonous fangs and pitch-black throat coming right at him. He immediately turned into a shadow bird and fled for his life!
”I won't do that again!” Mo Fan grunted while he escaped to safety.
Blinking forward into a group of demon creatures was not a good idea at all. He might appear right under the fangs of some of them, especially when there was no way to pinpoint where he would land. He might just place himself right into the mouth of the enemy if he made a careless mistake, but he could only Blink to somewhere within his range of vision when he was in the middle of a chaotic battle.
”Heidi, take care of this one too!” Mo Fan yelled while running.
Heidi was around five hundred meters away. She had just knocked the previous male Medusa flying. She was shocked to see another male Medusa that was redder than the previous one closer to Mo Fan!
The male Medusa that Heidi had just dealt with was already a Great Commander-level creature, which meant the one chasing after Mo Fan was clearly even stronger than that. Heidi quickly flew through the air and used her Will to establish a tall Wall of Space between Mo Fan and the Dark Red Male Medusa!
The male Medusa was a little dumb, and did not sense the presence of the Wall of Space. It rammed right into the wall and rebounded back in a complete somersault.
”Imprison!”
