Chapter 2506. Encountering the Black Hole Spider Again
“I don’t know… I have only heard about it. If this really is the Shield of the Medusa’s Gaze, then her eyes ought to be able to open. The legends say that if she opens her eyes, even a god would cry. But it has been too long… Many people have heard the legend, but anyone who might have looked on the Shield of the Medusa’s Gaze is probably dead by now. Only an immortal could confirm the validity of this thing. Even in the Thousand Treasures Alliance, I am afraid only a few elders might be able to confirm its identity,” Fang Qing Yu said.
Han Sen frowned. If this was the Shield of the Medusa’s Gaze, the Extreme King must have seen him retrieve it.
“Bao’er, come up and pilot the ship. Speed up and let’s get moving.” Han Sen turned the helm over to Bao’er and carried the shield to his room. He wanted to find out if the shield was useful.
It didn’t matter if it was the Shield of the Medusa’s Gaze or not. If he couldn’t use it, then it was rubbish.
Han Sen gripped the shield in his hands and put his jade power into it. Or at least, he tried to. The power bounced away. He was unable to place Jadeskin’s power into the shield.
Han Sen frowned. Next, he used the power of the Dongxuan Sutra, and he tried to put that into the shield. This time the power didn’t bounce away. After the power of the Dongxuan Sutra entered the shield, the carving of the beautiful woman started to glow with a purple light. Light began to glow within her flickering eyes, and it appeared as if they were going to open.
But Han Sen’s eyes widened. The shield was like a bottomless hole, and it consumed his power ravenously. In just a second, Han Sen’s face was ghostly pale. His lifeforce had been drained, but the woman inside the shield still had her eyes closed. There was still some purple light around her face, but it didn’t look as if the eyes were going to open.
Han Sen quickly pushed the shield away. If this kept going, he’d be nothing but a dried-up husk.
After Han Sen got rid of the shield, the light on the shield disappeared. It went back to looking old and slightly battered. It no longer showed any sign of activity.
