When Guhan arrived at Takasaka Rena's location, the first thing he saw was Takasaka Rena lying on the ground. But the horrifying thing was that Takasaka Rena was no longer a living person. She had turned into a stone, a stone statue, lying on the ground.
An artificial Kenjo with cracks all over its body lay on the ground with Takasaka Rena. Judging from the cracks, the Kenjo had completely shattered. The Kenjo that fought for Takasaka Rena to the end had died just like that.
Gu Han clenched his fists tightly when he saw Reina Takasaka's statue. The girl who had just confessed to him, his classmate, had turned into a cold stone, and there was no longer any sign of life in her.
When Guhan recalled her shy smile with her head lowered, his heart ached. What a good girl, but she died just like that. Those damn Yuan Kou.
"What are you doing?" Amumo, who had disappeared earlier, suddenly appeared behind Guhan and asked in confusion.
"I'm mourning my dead comrade and classmate."
Guhan gently stroked Takasaka Rena's face that had turned into stone. "She was a very good girl. Before she died, she still remembered to remind me to escape through the communicator."
"I can understand your mourning … but I still want to ask, she's not dead yet, so why are you in such a hurry to mourn her?"
Amumo's words exploded in Guhan's mind. What did Amumo mean?
What did she mean by not dead yet?
"Look at her neck."
As soon as Amumo said this, Guhan received a hint and immediately found a mark that looked like a snake's head on Takasaka Rena's neck.
Guhan sucked in a breath of cold air. "This is the mark of Medusa.
She's actually still alive. "
The root cause of the formation of the Meiling Mountain Sinkhole, the culprit that almost destroyed most of the Meiling Mountain Range and turned the seven powerful spirit sword bearers, the Meiling Seven Heroes, into stone statues, the most powerful Yuan Kou that ever appeared in the Meiling Mountain Range, the Universe Level Medusa, actually appeared again.
As everyone knew, Medusa had the ability to petrify others. Medusa's hair was like a poisonous snake. As long as one was bitten by a poisonous snake or looked directly at by Medusa, then one would be petrified into a stone statue. At the same time, a snake head mark would be left on one's neck.
"Not bad, you actually recognize the Medusa's Mark.
As soon as I arrived at the Apricot Ridge, I smelled her scent and chased her all the way here. "
Tian Congyun looked around and said in a nostalgic tone, "I haven't seen this old rival for more than seven hundred years. I didn't expect to see her here today. I thought she was dead. I didn't expect to see her here again."
It turned out that she had appeared here because she smelled the scent of Medusa.
Guhan silently thought. He originally thought that Tian Congyun was ordered by Wuzhang Shifang to investigate him, but it turned out that this was the reason.
"All the humans also thought she was dead. Five hundred years ago, Medusa and the Meiling Seven Heroes had a great battle here and then disappeared without a trace. Since then, they haven't appeared again for five hundred years.
Who would have thought that she had been hiding in the Mei Ling Mountain Range all this time?
"So that's how it is!"
Tian Congyun nodded, and then said to Guhan, "I think she also smelled the scent of her old friend, so she hid somewhere and didn't dare to come out.
You take your friend and quickly leave this place. Let all the people in the Meiling Mountain hide as far away as possible. "
"Yes, Master Kusanagi." Guhan nodded. Medusa was a Universe Level Yuan Kou, which was equivalent to a Sword Maiden at the Immortal Sword Tier.
Tian Congyun's trick just now proved that he was as weak as a piece of paper in front of a Sword Maiden at the Immortal Sword Tier and a Universe Level Yuan Kou. Even though he was talented and had unparalleled swordsmanship, he wouldn't be able to withstand one second of a Universe Level Yuan Kou's attack. He had to escape immediately.
Once Tian Cumulus found Medusa, there would definitely be an earth-shattering battle. By then, the aftermath of the battle would form another Plum Ridge Sinkhole. It was time for all the Sword Bearers and humans to evacuate.
"Master Kusanagi … can I trouble you …" Guhan picked up Reina Takasaka's statue and wanted to leave. However, he looked at Tian Congyun hesitantly.
"I know. I'll give you that guy's blood." Tian Congyun guessed what Guhan wanted to say.
Medusa's Petrification was not impossible. As long as he dripped her blood on Reina Takasaka's statue within 24 hours, Reina Takasaka would be able to turn back into a human and her life would be saved.
Once the 24 hours were up, Reina Takasaka would be completely dead.
"Thank you, Master Kusanagi."
Guhan nodded gratefully. He picked up Reina Takasaka's body and started running out of the mine.
…
In the management office of the Luoting Mine. Suddenly, three of the surveillance cameras turned into static and the signal was lost. This meant that the three surveillance cameras had been destroyed.
However, the staff present did not notice this. All their attention was on Guhan and Tian Congyun. Tian Congyun played in Guhan's infant pouch for tens of minutes while they watched her foolishly. It was only when Tian Congyun suddenly disappeared into Guhan's infant pouch that they stopped watching and realized that three of the surveillance cameras were destroyed.
"Boss, why are there three cameras broken?" one of the staff asked.
"That's strange. The cameras here have just been repaired. Why are they broken?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, there's no danger in there anyway. Bring the tools to repair them. "The person in charge was serious and wanted to send someone to repair the cameras.
At that moment, Guhan suddenly received a call.
"Retreat! Run!
All of you, get out of here! "
Guhan's words made the staff who received the call very unhappy. He retorted, "Who are you? Why are you retreating? Why are you running? That's Goddess Tian Congyun inside. She doesn't need to retreat. Look at how cowardly you are."
The staff thought that the person on the phone was retreating because Bai Ying told them to.
"I'm the swordsman that you've been watching for tens of minutes. The swordsman that has Goddess Kusanagi in his pocket … Forget it, it's useless to talk to you. Get me the person in charge. Hurry up, or we'll all die!" The staff blushed. He did not expect the person on the other end of the phone to be his target.
At that moment, the person in charge had also noticed the situation. The staff transferred the call to the person in charge.
"Hello, Mr. Guhan. Why are you looking for me?
Why do you want us to retreat? "
The person in charge, Si, said slowly. He had probably investigated the mission information, so he knew Gu Han's name.
"… I don't want to talk nonsense with you. Medusa, Medusa, she's here again," Guhan said quickly.
"What did you say?"
The person in charge thought he was hallucinating. What Medusa? Wasn't that the legendary Yuan Kou that had been killed by human sages a long time ago?
Why did she show up again?
"Mr. Guhan, you're a new swordsman. You might not know this, but if you lie about the enemy, even if you're a swordsman, you'll be investigated by the Discipline Committee." The person in charge thought Guhan was young and ignorant, trying to stir up some big news.
"I didn't say that, Goddess Kusanagi said it. You'll know when you see the student in my hand … I've already told you. As for whether you want to live or die, I don't care." Guhan hung up after saying that.
"What the f * ck!"
The person in charge muttered, but the staff still found the camera that was monitoring Gu Han at this time, took a high-definition picture, and zoomed in on the person in Gu Han's arms to the fullest.
"Boss, why is this Gu Han holding a stone statue in his hands?"
The person in charge suddenly asked when he saw the zoomed in picture. The person in charge's heart suddenly trembled.
"Let me ask you, do we have a stone statue in the mine?" the person in charge asked with a trembling voice.
"I don't think so … Why would we put a stone statue in the mine?"
Hearing this answer, the person in charge's face turned even paler. He shouted for everyone to come over, so the staff in the monitoring room all gathered in front of the screenshot.
"Have any of you seen someone who looks like this stone statue?"
The person in charge asked in a panic. He hoped that no one would answer his question, but the next second, a staff member raised his hand and answered, "This stone statue looks like the swordsman who entered the mine with Guhan at the beginning."
"Get the video!
Quick, get me the video of Guhan entering the mine. Quick! "
As soon as the person in charge gave the order, everyone got busy. Soon, they got the video that the person in charge wanted.
The person in charge only took a glance at it before he slumped to the ground, took a deep breath, and said, "Retreat, everyone retreat. Immediately inform all the people in the mine, whether they are sword bearers or ordinary people, to retreat back to Luoting Camp … Then tell the people of Yuzhang Sword Sect and Heng Mountain Sword Sect around … No, tell all the people of Meiling Mountain to retreat back to Luoting Camp."
Hearing the person in charge's order, all the staff members were dumbfounded. They thought that their boss had gone crazy.
"Why are you all looking at me? Hurry up and pass on the order. Tell them that Medusa is back again!"
After saying this, the person in charge was the first to escape from the monitoring room. Then, all the other staff members suddenly realized what was going on and followed him out.
A few minutes later, as the news spread, the entire Meiling Mountain was in chaos. Everyone began to flee frantically to the Luoting Camp.
…
The process of Guhan's escape was very smooth. It was not like in most novels where Medusa suddenly blocked Guhan's way and then started an earth-shattering battle with Guhan. Guhan smoothly escaped from the mine with Reina Takasaka in his arms and returned to the management building of the Luoting Mine.
At this moment, the entire building was already empty. Only a few scattered commoners were still running out of the mines. All the sword bearers seemed to have left this place. Against a Universe level elemental puppet, a few lone sword bearers were just sending themselves to their deaths.
Anyway, the Sword Maiden Tian Congyun was also in the mine. The aftermath of their battle could kill a large number of humans and swordsmen. It was better to escape back to the Luoting Camp and gather everyone's strength. That was the right way to win.
