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

Chapter 294 Current Situation of the Claw Valley Mountains
"Something's going on, Tylee, Selina."

Rhodes pointed in the direction of the unexpected visitor.

"Good~"

The succubus responded sweetly and innocently, then quickly disappeared into the shadows.

The zombie girl used the flying technique to take the lead in occupying the sky and slowly moved towards that direction.

Tifflin Saixier on the side turned serious and looked at Rhodes closely.

There was a mad look in his eyes expressing his desire to go together.

Rhodes couldn't help but laugh.

"I didn't say I wouldn't let you go."

The girl scratched her head embarrassedly.

"In the past, when encountering a situation, Teacher Farshad would investigate alone and only let us go after confirming that there was no major threat. I thought..."

Rhodes didn't want to interfere with the way others taught their disciples.

He shrugged and said nothing, then took her with him.

Some people who were still busy preparing for the ceremony in the fields behind saw this scene and did not dare to follow. They looked at their backs and shed tears in their hearts.

no way.

That damn ranger had a terrifying record of killing seventh-level warriors with the force of a sixth-level warrior, and he had a pretty good reputation in Quartz Town.

No one wants to mess with him.

Because they had to take care of the tiefling girl's speed, when the two of them arrived, Selina had already trapped the newcomer in an amber sarcophagus.

Inside the translucent sarcophagus, there were three "humans" wearing ordinary duck green coarse cloth clothes, tied together by shadow ribbons.

They all had thick, long, gray-black fur growing out of their bodies, their eyes were dim, and black veins appeared on their faces.

When he grinned, you could see a mouth full of yellow, interlaced fangs.

His arms were below his knees, his back was slightly bent, and his wet clothes were stretched to the point of being ill-fitting.

"Is it really the beast disease?"

Rhodes frowned tightly.

These three beastmen were obviously ordinary farmers.

He didn't have much fighting power, so he was easily controlled by Selina.

This thing is not much of a problem for high-level people, especially mages.

However, their infectiousness is particularly deadly and difficult to deal with for melee spiritual warriors and ordinary people.

A few days ago, Rat Girl No. 13 was put in solitary confinement for digging holes randomly, which made Rhodes wary of the south.

I originally wanted to ask the half-deer man Xiao Ke for a prediction, but unfortunately she was out these days and hasn't come back yet.

Although he is a socially anxious person, Xiao Ke still has one or two childhood playmates.

It happened that a playmate moved from Silverhoof Deer Valley to the forest near Windy City these two days and invited her to visit her new home.

Dusk Hills has become more stable recently, so Rhodes did not stop it.

He also felt that she should relax, so he assigned the female orc Amy to act as her bodyguard, and used the [Chain of Far Words] to report her safety every night.

"It's not stained with their blood, is it?"

Selina didn't come down from the sky, so he mainly asked Terry.

The cute rural freckled girl tilted her head: "Of course, why would I let a man other than my master touch me."

The tiefling girl's expression also turned grim, and she observed more carefully.

"This duck-green dye is the style of the Mishu people of the Koshi Plains. Why is it here? It's unlikely that a beastman with reduced intelligence would pass through the Claw Valley Mountains."

"It only means that the situation in the Koch Plains is extremely bad. The number of lycanthropes is so high that a small probability event has occurred."

Rhodes shook his head.

A wave of waves has risen again.

The ticking time bomb of Coral Bay is still there, and a zombie crisis is about to strike. Civilian-level lycanthropes are easy to deal with; a dozen or so mages could probably handle them.

The fear is that some spiritual warriors with good abilities will be infected.

That kind of thing is like a mad dog that just crawled out of a cesspool, so disgusting.

Modern wizards are very powerful, so the scene of global collapse and decline of civilization like in the zombie movies of the past life should not happen again.

But now, Aselon is too busy to take care of himself.

The Snow Hill Evening News has been reduced from a daily edition to a three-day edition due to the outbreak of a strange disease in Windwind City. Just three days ago, the newspaper mentioned that the victory in the battle to recapture Twilight City came at the cost of 172 seventh-level spiritual warriors, 21 eighth-level spiritual warriors, and more than 50 arcane mages.

The bards in the newspapers wildly accused the commander, the Cardinal of the Igo Church, claiming that he had reclaimed the city with human lives.

In such a war situation, do they really have the spare energy to deal with the crisis on the far western border?

I guess I can't take care of it.

Rhodes suddenly felt something.

Turn your head and look to the side.

After a while, a mature and graceful figure walked out from the yellow haze.

It's Rosalia, the Tooth Fairy.

She saw the sealed beast patient with an expression of apology and guilt on his face.

"Sorry everyone, we were negligent and didn't expect them to get in here."

Behind her followed a wendigo wearing a deer skull and with a body piled with bones, branches, and flesh.

I guess Demia's magic power was out of control and she needed to rest, so I lent my men to her.

"Is it bad?"

Rod asked.

"It's very bad. We used the Claw Valley Mountains as a dividing line between the Koshi Plain and Quartz Town, and we heavily guarded it. However, we didn't expect that so many fifth- and sixth-level spiritual warriors would be contaminated. We were overwhelmed and couldn't keep up with them."

Rosalia shook her head, her face filled with worry.

Then he sighed again.

"I thought we could handle it, but unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Although this will make our city hall look incompetent, Mr. Rhodes, Quartz Town needs the help of your forest friends. We will definitely give you a satisfactory reward when the time comes."

Rhodes nodded, agreeing.

Even if Rosalia didn't mention it, he would have come to help.

The farm area here is not too far from the forest, so he can't allow a large number of lycanthropes to wander into Quartz Town.
He announced this in the forest group chat in [Chain of Far Words], and then called over the ghoul Penny, the banshee Chris, and the elf Callister.

Penny has the skill of the Undead Legion. The beast disease has little effect on the undead creatures that are already dead. Chris is a spirit and cannot be infected by the beast disease.

As for Callister, as the most knowledgeable mage in the forest, it would be right to look for her at this time.

As for the other girls, they can just wait in the forest for the time being.

The Tooth Fairy Rosalia led a few people towards the Claw Valley Mountains.

The road was gray and hazy, with visibility less than ten meters.

It seemed particularly terrifying in the empty farmland, as I always felt that there were countless shadows passing by all around.

When they reached the Daizhua Valley Mountains, with the surrounding mountains behind them blocking the wind and sand, everyone's vision became clearer.

It also made Rhode and the others more aware of the tragic situation before them.

Just below the surrounding mountains, every mountain path was filled with beast-like patients.

Some of them held torches, some held rusty machetes and pitchforks, and without exception, they were all covered in black and gray animal hair.

It's exactly the same as the zombie crisis seen in the movie.

Rhodes estimated that there were thousands of people.

"Has the Kochi Plain completely fallen?"
