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

Chapter 304 Gargoyle

Because the Claw Valley Mountains are blocked by high terrain.

The haze situation in the Kochi Plain is not serious, with only a thin layer of sand fog.

The sunlight tried to penetrate, but could only cast mottled golden light and shadows.

The speed of flying is not fast.

It took Rod half an hour to reach the nearest marked location.

View from the sky.

It was supposed to be a village with large green fields.

But now, the wooden houses have been completely destroyed, and large areas of vegetation have been burned by flames, sending up thick black smoke.

Countless beastmen wandered aimlessly in the wasteland, with wildness and madness flashing in their eyes.

Because of the effects of spirituality or magic, people infected with the beast disease will not turn into zombie-like creatures without intelligence.

They still have their normal memories, but their personalities will become more brutal and cunning like beasts, as if their thoughts have been infected as well.

Rhodes chose a small mound to lower his height.

The trembling banshee in his arms finally calmed down a little and dared to open her eyes.

"Can you please come down, Master?"

She said with a trembling voice.

As mentioned before, the appearance of the undead is closely related to the negative energy emitted by the ground, so once you are away from the ground, you will feel obvious fear.

Rhode was afraid that she would die of fright in his arms, so he simply landed on the ground.

Throw Chris to the ground with a plop.

She was confused and couldn't adapt to the situation all of a sudden. She cried out "ouch" and fell head over heels on the grass.

I don't bother with her and just turn [Spider Sense] to the maximum.

After all, the location of the mark was estimated by Wendy Gobelkin, and whether it is accurate or not is another matter.

It depends on him to position himself.

In order to avoid being harassed by those ignorant fellows, Rhode asked Terry to put on the [Dark Curtain Robe] for them both.

This is a new skill that was discovered a few days ago.

The main function is to cover others with a black robe made of shadows, reducing their presence and covering their faces.

More importantly, the invisibility robe can completely block blood and poisonous fog, which is one of the reasons why Rhodes dared to enter the Koch Plain.

Perhaps due to her promotion to the seventh level and her higher attainments in shadow magic, Terry's original spiritual magic has more possibilities.

"Oh, I found it."

After walking a few steps, Rhodes successfully found a trace of spiritual power in the bamboo forest on the far left, about the sixth level.

As expected of a shared skill, [Spider Sense] is quite powerful.

Follow the traces step by step.

The [Dark Curtain Cloak] was quite effective, and the low-level wandering beastmen did not notice their presence.

About half an hour passed.

Rod walked through the bamboo forest and found a half-naked man covered in blood by a stream.

Spiritual accumulation is at the lower level of the sixth stage.

At this moment, he was squatting by the stream, with a spear stuck upside down beside him, and he was reaching out to stir something in the water.

"He slit his wrists and then dove into a running stream. Is suicide a common practice among lycanthropes these days?"

Ty Lee wondered from the shadows.

"They are in the habit of throwing their blood on others."

Said the Banshee who had recovered.

After all, she had experienced half a night of fighting and knew their style.

"Yes, one characteristic of lycanthropy is their frantic desire to infect others. This one, I'm afraid, wants his blood to flow along the river, infecting everyone he comes into contact with. However, this small amount has long been diluted by the current, rendering it useless."

It's not surprising that beast patients have lower IQs, so they do this.

Rhodes drew out the [Sacrificial Sword] as he spoke.

Then came a powerful and sharp slash, and the blue and white crescent spirit slid across the man's neck.

His body stiffened, and then his head and body were separated. He died before he could react.

"Just one simple one."

Rhodes just sheathed it.

His perception was immediately triggered. He frowned and looked towards the distant sky in the south.

Then I saw a huge stone statue with stone wings and a monkey-like body. Its wings were extremely stiff, but it could still fly into the air. In its hand was an equally huge stone axe.

"Gargoyle?"

The gargoyle raised its stone axe and rushed to the ground like a meteorite.

There was a loud bang, and even where Rhodes was, he could feel the ground shaking.

Someone is fighting.

And they deliberately used ghouls, magical creatures that could not be infected by the beast disease.

"Gargoyle? Can you do that on a bed?"

Ty Lee jumped out from the shadows.

By the way, she performed transformation magic and became a catwoman with cat ears and a cat tail.

She asked with her head tilted cutely, and both the question and her appearance seemed a little silly.

"Probably not. They are monsters transformed from stone and don't have a reproduction system."

This young succubus is somewhat limited in her knowledge except for the aspect of love.

"Tsk, that's not interesting at all, meow."

"Meow?"

Faced with her owner's doubts, Terry jumped up, got into his clothes, and began to lick his neck.

"Terry is a kitten today, and kittens love to lick people."

"That's not right, Master. Gargoyles don't transform and reproduce. They lay stone eggs after mating."

Chris spoke up.

"Oh?"

"There are quite a few gargoyles near Jade City. I've even seen gargoyles in the forest. However, the liquid they exchange is definitely not what we understand as essence, so they are not on the succubus's menu."

"I see."

It turns out that I was short-sighted.

Rhodes felt a little embarrassed. What you learn from books is always shallow. You still have to see it with your own eyes.

The succubus in the clothes suddenly became excited: "How do they do that? Is it the same as us?"

"Uh, no. They'll connect while fighting, often destroying the surrounding area. I heard that the loser will become the spawning character."

"Gargoyles are hermaphrodites?"

"It's hard to say. I don't dare to go closer to see."

The Banshee spread her hands.

Terry's head popped out from Rhodes' collar, her face full of excitement.

The cat ears with pink tabby ears wiggle cutely.

"Master! Let's catch that gargoyle! I want to see you do it!"

No.

You don't want to.

I also don't want to be a gargoyle that looks like a winged ape. If I have to be one, I'd rather be a cute one.

And so.

That gargoyle is quite strong, reaching level seven.

If he could deploy troops of this level, the enemies he would face would probably be of similar beastiality. This place was not too far from the Claw Valley Mountains, so he had to go and take a look.

So they set out again.

It took about ten minutes to follow the stream upstream and climb over a tall and dense bush before we arrived at the flat ground where the gargoyles were fighting.

But it's a pity.

The battle is over.

In fact, Rhodes discovered it not long after he set out.

After all, that move of the gargoyle was very life-threatening.

On the ground with traces of various battles, there is a gargoyle that has been torn into pieces. When you look closer, you will find that this thing is almost five meters high.

"The gargoyle has been dismantled. It's practically covered in Lycanthrope blood. Huh? The corpse of a Fungus Man? And a Celestial?"
