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

Chapter 319: Three Thousand Six Hundred

Given that this thing is too weird and quite powerful.

The two discussed for a while and decided to seal the secret door again.

Afterwards, the two returned to the hall.

Explain the situation to Hayley, the Protoss who has been supporting the rear.

"A secret door covered in hallucinogenic spores? It's obvious this is a treasure of the Mycelium Clan, or perhaps something the lycanthropist intends to seize. But why would they want to take it? This doesn't align with the usual behavior of someone with this condition."

So she said.

Rhodes agreed.

The beastly blood and consciousness will also be affected, turning the person into a madman who only wants to spread the beast disease.

It is true that the treasure is mysterious, but does it have any effect on spreading blood?

Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.

I remembered the blood-exorcism wizard I met before coming to look for the Mycelium Clan.

At that time, the beast patients were actually willing to line up and wait for the other party to use the blood-driving technique.

As mentioned before, beastiality can make people become beastly.

First of all, the personality is chaotic, crazy and disorderly, so this orderly behavior is somewhat unreasonable.

"Perhaps, without violating the iron rule of spreading blood, a leader will emerge from among them. The one who attacked this place might be a leader with relatively high intelligence?"

Hearing Rhodes's guess.

Both mages frowned.

Both the Magic Control League and the Star Association have done a lot of research on beast transformation.

"In the early stages of lycanthropy, a certain amount of intelligence is indeed retained."

Hailey thought for a moment, "But as the blood completely erodes, the patient will experience memory confusion, paranoia, and other problems. Then, their reason and memory will completely fade away, and finally they will become a beast with only instincts left.
"According to what you said, this leader might have been infected with the beast disease not long ago, but at this time the blood was not affected too deeply, and the first choice was to save himself. Perhaps the reason for his attack was to save himself?"

Ona interrupted their speculation and said:
"Once we find the Mycelium Clan, we might have the answer."

Everyone suppressed their doubts.

Refocus on the situation of the Mycelium clan.

"From the evidence of the battle, the bodies are all adult combat myconids. There are no young or non-combat myconids. They weren't all wiped out in the attack."

Rhodes said.

Hailey nodded:
"Noah, have you read the spores left by the Mycelium Clan?"

The mushroom man Noah is not just absorbing hallucinogenic spores, he needs to be in a certain psychedelic state to find the hidden spores that carry messages.

Just no response.

"Noah?"

There was still no response, and the mushroom man was still grinning foolishly at the wall.

Haley sighed, raised her wand, and threw a magic missile with little power.

With a bang, Noah was knocked to the ground by the force.

Only then did I wake up in a daze.

"Noah, a message from the Mycelium Clan."

"Ohhh! Hahahaha—I'm all confused hahaha."

He smiled awkwardly, and when no one responded, he cleared his non-existent throat.

A serious face:
"It's lycanthropy. The lycanthropes attacked them."

"I discovered this when I came in. Tell me something we don't know."

"Really? Well, they escaped, and they're heading south for now. I don't know if they'll turn around later. Also, they say this cave hides something evil, and they warn any myconids who come here not to open the secret door."

The three of them looked at each other.

Suddenly I don’t know what to say.

“What if it’s opened?”

Rhodes asked anyway.

Noah waved his hand, dismissing it.

"It's a small matter. We've only placed over 3,600 spore bombs inside. Even if the evil creatures inside emerge, these 3,600 spore bombs will be able to blast them and the villains who covet them to pieces."

The mushroom man's spore skill is a very unique one even on the mainland.

Since spores are part of nature, no one cares if they have some spirituality. Spore spirituality was even once considered the best skill for sneak attacks.

So neither Rhodes nor Ona noticed anything unusual.

Fortunately, most mushroom people love peace and will not attack proactively.

Rhodes smiled optimistically:

"It's been so long, and there's no response at all. Maybe it's malfunctioning?"

The voice just fell.

From the deep passages of the underground river came a fierce resonance of spiritual expansion.

"Depend on!"

Rhodes grabbed Noah and threw the mushroom man into the tunnel they came in from.

Haley reacted extremely quickly. She teleported to the tunnel and dragged Noah in the air towards the exit.

Ona could have left first, but she subconsciously came over to support Rhodes who was at the rear, so she was a step slower.

next moment.

An orange-red light bloomed in the passage deep in the underground river.

The stone door used as a seal was pushed open by the powerful thrust and shattered into pieces on the opposite rock wall.

A unique smell, a mixture of fungus and gunpowder, instantly spread in the air.

Then, violent energy mixed with spores scattered like mist in a hurricane, and each spore was stimulated and detonated by the subsequent impact.

Rhodes held the petite bunny girl in his arms.

The ground beneath his feet collapsed, and [Swift Shadow] with [Agility Blessing] burst out, and he instantly arrived at the narrow tunnel.

Next came the [Dragon Scale Technique], blocking the tunnel with his body.

Almost at the same time, the spore bombs on the back began to bloom one after another.

The surrounding rock walls were instantly shattered by the powerful impact.

It collapsed with a loud rumble.

Hayley flew out of the cave almost at the moment before being hit by the fire from the explosion.

At this moment she soared upwards.

Seeing that no one was following behind, his face changed.

Boom! ! !

The light from the successive explosions illuminated the entire area, and the cave sank.

Then, thick black smoke with flames exploded like a lava eruption, carrying a thick layer of mycelium, which covered the surrounding trees and land like a spider web.

Thirty-six hundred spore bombs.

Although the power of each spore is only around level four or five, the accumulation of numbers and the connectivity of the spores make the power of the spore bomb reach level seven or even above.

Haley felt annoyed when she saw that the fungus man Noah in the wizard's hand was still inhaling the hallucinogenic spores spreading from the black smoke.

Just throw him from a high altitude into the woods nearby and give him a good beating.

"He shouldn't be dead. That mage named Ona must be of a high rank to be able to protect him."

Mages are more sensitive to the magic and spirituality they sense, and generally will not go out of their way to explore the magic accumulation of a friendly mage.

Therefore she was unaware of Ona's true class.

The words of the spiritual warrior do not matter.

Anyway, they won’t find out even if they investigate.

Now Haley didn't care about all these anymore. She maximized her magic perception and scanned everything below.

The person hasn't been found yet.

A golden crown that was blown into the sky by the explosion was the first one she locked onto.
