I'm a forest ranger, why would I enslave a succubus?

Chapter 20: The Newborn Maze
The town's security team arrived soon.

Guests were seen cheering, some raising their hands to show off their muscles, and some falling unconscious.

At first they thought it was just an ordinary bar brawl, the kind that happened every now and then.

But as they saw the faces of the two men clearly.

Suddenly shocked.

Isn’t this the wanted poster that his captain just released?
My goodness, everyone else is hiding here and there, but you come straight to the tavern to fight.

The sheriffs suppressed their joy and dragged the two prisoners out of the tavern.

"Who is the boss here?"

Rhodes drank the wine in one gulp and was very curious about him.

"Valery Valentine, a native of Quartz Town, worked in the capital in his early years. He suddenly returned a few years ago and opened the Violet Tavern."

Pete said casually.

He has been doing business here for many years and is better at talking about the gossip in Quartz Town than the young guys today.

"From the military?"

"It's hard to find out about him." Pete shook his head.

Rhodes looked at his boss Valeri again and thought of the Giant Wine.

Could it be that he really stole it from the giant?
At this moment, Valeri suddenly turned his head and looked at Rhodes.

Rhodes raised his glass in greeting.

The other party immediately came over with a big laugh.

"Mr. Rhodes!"

"The boss knows me?"

Rhodes was not a drinker and only spent most of the day in town each week. He was also busy with procedures and purchasing various resources, so he came to the Violet Tavern only a few times.

"Of course, everyone in Quartz Town knows that there's a ranger who saved Daphne!"

He waved his hand: "Any Quartz Town resident would take action if they encountered such a situation."

"Well said! The drinks for this table are waived!"

Valery laughed heartily.

A large palm slapped Rhodes' shoulder, pinching it painfully.

He added, "When I was working in the capital, the Argyle family helped me several times. You saved Daphne, which is equivalent to helping me!"

Rhodes' eyes lit up slightly.

I couldn't help but feel excited, Valeri was obviously not an ordinary person.

Could it be that I can get another leg to cling to?
"Come to Violet for a drink from now on. I'll give you a 5% discount. No, 10%! Hahahaha, that's quite generous, isn't it?"

Rod:

The three chatted for a while.

They were soon separated.

Rod bought some magic traps from Pete, which he planned to set up at various entrances to the forest.

Return to the forest.

Rod left Terry to cook while he headed to the eucalyptus area.

Eucalyptus area.

Scorpion girl Hera took the magic bag filled with treasures.

She smiled, her eyes hidden by her black hair, and it was unclear whether she was looking at Rhodes.

Only then did Rhodes discover that there was a sexy beauty mole near the other person's chin.

"For an older woman, such a straightforward gift is truly delightful."

She sat on the tree trunk.

Her snow-white jade feet hung naturally, one hand held the magic bag, and the other hand was held in front of her chest.

"Tell me, ranger, what do you hope to gain from me?"

"I don't have any expectations. I just can't sleep every night because I think about Lady Hera's troubles," Rhodes said bitterly. "So, the treasures I commissioned from the merchant have arrived, and I'm giving them to Lady Hera right away, just to ease my insomnia."

The scorpion woman Hera laughed without any image.

Rhodes saw her mouth full of jagged fangs, and for some reason, he didn't find it scary at all. Instead, he thought it was very unique.

She jumped down from the tree.

"I acknowledge you as my own, young man. You can continue to receive similar treasures from me in the future. I will definitely not let you suffer any loss."

talking.

She pulled two small medicine bottles from her ditch and tossed them over.

Rhode reached out and caught it. The transparent glass contained dark green and black-purple liquid, and the bottle had a hint of seductive warmth.

"You humans' basic resistance is too weak, making you easily suppressed by powerful spiritual magic. This is a bottle of venom I've prepared. Once you fully digest it, it will significantly and permanently increase your resistance to poison and fire."

"The other bottle is a poison that is effective against enemies below level eight."

Permanent resistance improvement!
This kind of treasure is already very rare, and it is even more rare for humans who have low resistance to all attributes!
There are also high-level killing weapons!
This is a treasure worth far more than 500 gold Aarons!
Rhodes thanked him quickly.

Digesting fully resistant venom is much more difficult than one might imagine.

A few days passed, and only the resistance to poison increased slightly.

Rhodes simply ignored it and returned to his quiet life as a ranger.

Ever since the last Shura scene in the cabin.

Vivian had developed a bad habit. Whenever they met, she would secretly come over to kiss Rod, but luckily it was just a kiss on the cheek.

However, Xiao Ke, the half-deer man, did not accept the explanation about drinking milk and tried his best to take Vivian away from the ranger's cabin.

During this period, Rhodes did not use [Growth Spirituality] on Pony Bond. He was the kind of player who stockpiled his energy for a wave of attacks.

He fed Bond every day and told him stories to put him to sleep from time to time.

The main purpose is to maximize its favorability before it transforms.

That day, after completing the daytime patrol mission.

Rhodes did not return to the cabin.

He took all his equipment, mounted his horse and headed towards Shuangzhi Mountain.

Last night, Xiti of the Winged Crystal Clan sent a message that the entrance to the Newborn Maze has gradually stabilized and has reached a level where it can be entered.

He came to invite Rhodes to come.

after an hour.

Rhodes arrived at Two Finger Mountain.

After more than half a month, I entered the deserted maze again.

At this time, all the bodies inside had been cleared away.

The ground was covered with a thick layer of dust, and the evening glow drew a "column" of flying dust in the sky.

Siti flew out from inside.

"Mr. Rhodes! Please come this way."

Walk deeper and deeper.

Soon they arrived at the stone gate.

At this time, the stone gate no longer had any spiritual light and was open like an ordinary stone.

The space inside is even smaller than expected.

It's about twenty square meters.

On the desk in the center, there is a golden crystal in the shape of a book.

"Mr. Rhodes, please touch the holy book and input your spirituality, then you can enter the nascent maze."

Rhodes pointed at Terry behind him.

"What about her?"

Tylee was dressed like a human adventurer, wearing leather armor, her long red hair neatly tied behind her head, and the magic dagger on her waist.

According to her own words, her character today is a conservative and arrogant down-and-out young lady adventurer with a look of disdain on her face.

"Then both of you enter together."

Rhodes and Terry stood together, their palms pressed on the holy book.

"Don't get so close to me, you jerk." Terry scolded.

"."

As the Holy Book becomes brighter
A brilliant colorful light took away the two people's vision.

After a while.

Rhodes opened his eyes again.

The surrounding environment has been turned upside down.

This is a vast forest, but the trees, rocks, and the hillsides in the distance are all made of magical crystals.

The dark sky is twinkling with stars, and flowing spiritual light illuminates every corner.

Siti flew in front of him excitedly.

"As the Wing Crystal Clan's best human friend, Mr. Rhodes! Welcome to the Wing Crystal Clan's Blue Ice Clan's land—the Flawless Crystal Land!"
