Chapter 663 Heart Island
Gorgon Island, a place that can only be reached by using a special teleportation crystal. This island is shrouded in fog, and going deep into the fog will only make you lose your way, and when you come to your senses, you will return to the island again.

It's like a place that will never be discovered.

Logically speaking, this should be a hidden leveling location, but the overly torturous enemies turned the island into a lost land that no one cared about.

Blaze easily obtained the island teleportation crystal and arrived at the island. Judging from the teleportation tower that was already covered with dust and cobwebs, it seemed that no one had been here for a long time.

[Deliberately made old, please do not clean, especially the spider webs! 】

Blaze looked at the sign and hid his hands behind his back guiltily. He then started to smash all the spider webs.

"Okay, it's made to look old on purpose. Ahem... the territory of the Gorgons, do you know anything about that?" Blaze looked at the snake. He first had to rule out the possibility that the Gorgons might be a race with their own lives.

After all, it is normal to attack invaders in order to protect one's territory.

But unexpectedly, the snake did not answer the question directly, but spoke in a very serious but slightly depressed voice.

"How can you know if they are ugly if you don't see them with your own eyes or hear them with your own ears?"

Blaze stared into the snake's eyes in silence, and the snake quickly turned away.

"I understand. No matter what others say, I will go and see it with my own eyes."

The chicken never brought up the past on her own initiative. Even if she did, she only mentioned that she had a good relationship with the snake, but the squirrel said something in the middle, distorting the relationship between the two.

Perhaps the squirrel’s story is more complicated than we thought.

"So do you think the Gorgon is evil or just?" Blaze changed his tone, leaned closer to the snake, and smiled brightly.

"I have always been biased towards the people around me."

"This..." The snake took a small step back and lowered its head embarrassedly, its fingers entangled together, and after a long time it spoke in a low voice.

"According to past records, the Gorgon is a demon that lives in a lost land. Its ferocity is unquestionable, but no one can find its location unless someone guides them."

"Countless people have gone looking for it, but no one has ever returned alive."

"In other words, this is a monster that won't hurt anyone as long as no one finds it?" Blaze nodded, and then he wouldn't hesitate to take action.

However, the snake's words made him doubt.

"Wait, didn't come back alive? Then why would Aegis be associated with the Gorgons?"

"This is..." The snake shrank her neck, as if she was too embarrassed to say what she wanted to say. But Blaze wanted to know the content, so she leaned over and whispered in Blaze's ear.

"Oh - your circle is really messy."

Simply put, Aegis is a symbol of power, and the fur of the nurse Almathea wrapped around the basic shield means that the shield belongs to Zeus.

Zeus is the king of gods, and his throne will one day be passed on to his heirs. Among them, the heir chosen by fate is the goddess of wisdom Athena. Aegis, as a symbol of power, is also passed on to Athena.

As long as Athena left her own symbol on the Aegis, and Athena chose Medusa, a snake-haired demon with whom she had a certain connection, as long as the head of the snake-haired demon was embedded on the shield, the transfer of power would be completed.

But the throne is really tempting. Once you sit on it, you will change yourself, become greedy, and burst out with unprecedented evil.

This power transition failed, and Aegis was lost and no one ever saw him again. However, compared to Zeus, the king of gods, who was greedy for his own status, Blaze was more concerned about the snake's face and ears, which turned red with shyness. Chickens chattered about other people's gossip non-stop and were very curious, while snakes were completely the opposite. They knew it, but would be embarrassed.

It seems that gossip is a shameful thing.

The snake raised his hand and fanned his face while trying to control his voice.

"This is undoubtedly a conspiracy carried out by Zeus, because Aegis also disappeared in Zeus's hands, and one of the many heroes who went to harvest the Gorgons was a son of Zeus."

"You mean that Zeus gave Aegis to his offspring, and then deliberately made Aegis disappear in the battle against Medusa?"

Blaze subconsciously resisted this speculation. It was indeed a good strategy to hide Aegis around Medusa. The most conspicuous place was actually the safest.

But this also means that Zeus sacrificed his son without hesitation.

The snake saw what Blaze was thinking and just shook his head and said softly.

"The gods have complex and contradictory feelings. They want to give their offspring honors but are also greedy for the throne. In the end, they chose to flip a coin. The son of Zeus who came to this island also represents the goddess of wisdom, who is also the son of Zeus."

"This island is the paradoxical heart of Zeus."

"How cruel." Blaze sighed. He had nothing to say. After all, the father-son relationship between Odin and Balder was just a sarcasm towards each other most of the time.

But these were all things of the old age of the gods, and Blaze brushed them all off like dust on a cobweb.

"At least this is a clue. We just need to find the stone statue that is not a foreigner and check if there is Aegis on it."

As for how to identify a foreigner's stone statue, this should be the simplest thing in the world. Even if you put aside the strange costumes, you can tell from their expressions and movements.

Blaze left the beach and headed towards the island.

He saw two statues, one of which had a handsome face and angry eyes. Although there was fear in his expression, there was more courage.

The other nostril became enlarged, the philtrum was stretched, and the mouth was almost turned into an arc.

Ask, which one of them is the stranger.

I know which one it is with my eyes closed.

Blaze raised his fist and hit the head of the Stranger's stone statue, which shattered to the ground. The nearby challenges might have a chance to un-petrify and turn back into humans, but the Stranger's stone statue would only turn into a stone soldier and cause trouble.

As we went deeper into the island, we saw more and more stone statues of strangers, so many that it was really frightening. There were more of them than trees on the island.

"What do the strangers think of this place?" Blaze didn't know whether he should continue to destroy the stone statues of strangers, because some strangers began to pose, as if they wanted to make a stone statue of themselves.

What can prove this is that next to a stone statue posing with a sword raised, there is a series of stone statues trying to carry the statue away.

whoosh-

A slender snake tail crossed the shadow of the stone statue, and the plump half-snake, half-human creature slowly surrounded it.
