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

Chapter 21 Flawless Crystal Land
“The scenery is nice.”

Rhodes exclaimed in admiration.

Especially the crystal trees here.

He was used to seeing ordinary trees in the Wind Wall Forest, so this one made of translucent crystals and with obscure lines flowing inside was really a novelty.

"Average." Tai Li crossed her arms and commented proudly.

However, in some corners, you can still see signs of decay and distortion.

For example, at the top of a certain crystal tree, the thick trunk twisted and turned, and human limbs and facial features grew out.

It doesn't fit in with the surrounding environment.

Rhodes looked around.

After discovering that in addition to the Winged Crystal Clan, there are other races busy, such as the Rock Spirits, Half-Deer People and Nature Spirits.

He seemed to see the figure of an elf vaguely.

"Yes, as you can see." Xiti gave a typical wry smile, "The situation in the Flawless Crystal Land is not very good."

"About five hundred years ago, we of the Blue Ice clan discovered this nascent maze, and we've considered it our home ever since. Back then, the Flawless Crystal Land was mostly stable."

Rhodes nodded.

The formation of a maze cannot be understood using standard rules.

Some mazes will be transformed in 10 seconds, instantly spawning a large number of monsters; some mazes are frighteningly large. On the Fera Plateau in the east of the continent, an entire village was transformed into a maze, and it is still blocked today.

"But a disaster fifty years ago directly led to the sacrifice of all the Jade Fairies of the Blue Ice Clan. Since then, the Flawless Crystal Land has frequently experienced instability."

Siti was very sad.

"We invited a half-deer elder who is proficient in prophecy. He told us that the Flawless Crystal Land has officially entered a period of rapid transformation and will be completely transformed into a maze within ten years."

Tai Li said: "By then, you, the Blue Ice Clan, will be homeless."

"That's right. Please follow me, both of you."

As Xiti spoke, he flew towards the depths of the crystal forest.

"The elders realize that after losing all the Emerald Fairies, it's difficult for us to fully control this homeland. Therefore, we warmly welcome kind-hearted races to enter and take what they need."

On the edge.

Rhodes saw a rock spirit and several Winged Crystal Clan members standing in front of a twisted crystal tree, seemingly discussing medical treatment options.

The goblins are a well-known race of socialites on the continent.

In addition, the Winged Crystal Clan is naturally very sensitive to metals and rocks, and is good at finding mineral veins.

Therefore, they can easily attract suitable talents.

Along the way.

Many Rock Spirits and Winged Crystal Clan members saw Rhodes and Terry.

They all showed expressions of astonishment.

Some even showed expressions of disgust.

Uh. There's nothing I can do.

Humanity does not have a good reputation on the mainland.

Especially for races like them who are on the natural side.

Xiti led them through the Semi-Granite Forest.

Came to an altar.

"Siti is here."

Next to the altar, a member of the Winged Crystal Clan was leaning lazily on the crystal, holding a pipe in his hand.

He was smoking a cigarette.

"Mom! We have guests! Didn't I tell you not to smoke?"

"Oh sorry sorry."

As she spoke, Siti's mother took another puff, squinting her eyes and enjoying it very much.

She looked young, mature and plump, wearing a simple cardigan with only one button buttoned, revealing a large area of ​​snow-white skin.

The thick dark circles under his eyes and the lazy expression make him look like a person without desires who doesn't care about anything.

"Mother!"

"Here it comes. The last bite. Huh~~~"

On the way, Siti explained.

They need to go to the Lan Bing clan's altar to mark the aura, and then they will enter without Xiti leading them personally.

Rhodes smiled and waved at Siti.

"No problem, your mother will finish first."

Xiti stamped his feet in anger. Finally unable to bear his mother's countless "last time", he stepped forward and snatched the pipe away.

"Okay, okay, fix it now and return it to me immediately after you're done."

Siti's mother turned to the two of them.

"My name is Fatima, and I'm the head of the Lanbing clan. Thank you very much for saving this useless son."

Oh?
Xiti is also the son of the patriarch of the Lanbing clan.

Noticing Rhodes's gaze, Siti scratched his head, feeling very embarrassed.

Fatima activates the altar's magic circle.

Soon, two blue rays of light descended from the sky and landed on Rhodes and Terry.

"Wow, it's actually the succubus, Brother Rhodes. Bon appetite!"

Rhodes smiled, not knowing how to respond.

[Obtained the special status of the 'Flawless Crystal Land Pass' from the Lanbing clan of the Wing Crystal Clan.]

【Perception is enhanced, and mental resistance is enhanced.】

Fatima suddenly flew to Rod's ear.

Gently blew a breath of fragrance.

"If you're tired of playing with succubus, come here alone and place a red crystal. I'll let you taste the flavor of a little goblin~"

"Forehead"

Rhodes looked at her petite body and wasn't very interested.

"What? You don't believe me? If you hadn't saved my son, I wouldn't bother paying attention to you. Or do you think I'm trustworthy? My body is tougher than you think~"

Terry suddenly came over and stared at Fatima with sharp eyes.

"Oops~"

She flew away immediately and snatched the pipe back from Siti's hand.

"It's done, get out of here."

"Mother! Be polite!"

"Okay, okay, please go away, everyone."

Xiti angrily led the two away from the altar.

"What did the old man say to you?"

After a while, Tai Li asked in a low voice.

"Be polite, Terry. Fatima is the head of the Blue Ice Clan."

"Okay, okay, what did that beautiful and respectable old thing say to you?"

"."

Why are you following suit?

"You think I really want to know?"

When he didn't answer, Terry angrily stepped on him.

A little goblin and two others continued to go deeper.

"Mr. Rhodes, I wonder what kind of treasure you want to obtain? I can introduce it to you."

Rhodes and the Wing Crystal Clan established a friendly relationship of mutual assistance and mutual benefit.

"Something with an affinity for fire or poison attributes will allow me to quickly accumulate spiritual power, and it can also enhance resistance to things other than poison and fire."

Xiti smiled and said, "In the Flawless Crystal Land, the thing that is most in demand is resistance treasures."

Shortly after.

They stopped in front of a dark mine.

"Ahead is an alienated point in the Flawless Crystal Land. There are many monsters inside. They survive by eating crystals, and their stomachs are natural resistance treasures."

Siti was a little nervous and obviously a little scared.

"These monsters sometimes even leave the mines and come outside."

"How is the strength?"

"The shallowest level is the fourth level. The deeper you go, the stronger the power becomes. With Mr. Rhodes's strength, it should be easy to deal with."

Rhodes nodded.

As long as you stay at the shallow end, this is a very low-risk, high-reward thing.

"But please be aware, Mr. Rhodes, there are already elves inside carrying out the cleanup mission."

Xiti smiled bitterly. "It's been a long time since humans and succubi have entered the Flawless Crystal Land. The elves tend to be rather stubborn and old-fashioned. Mr. Rhodes, please avoid arguments with them."
