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

Chapter 324 New Fields and Speculations
five minutes later.

When all is said and done.

The three of them saw Rhodes who was safe and sound.

Apart from some dust on it, there are only some shallow scratches.

Ona cast a Dust Cleansing spell on him.

I noticed that he had changed his clothes again, and it seemed that he had been torn to pieces by magic again.

This reminded her of the scene when the two of them were buried, and her face turned slightly red.

"I have collected some cloth made from phantom grass, which is not easily damaged. I will give you some when I get back."

"Hahahaha—thank you."

After Rhodes got used to it, he was no longer embarrassed and started laughing instead.

He just felt happy.

just now.

When being baptized by magic.

He actually comprehended a new field!
[Realizing some of the authority of the 'Guardian Domain']

[Field Details: All defensive skills are enhanced by 25% (increased with increasing authority), and resistance to erosion and attacks from other fields is enhanced.]

[Gained Domain Skill: Overlay Defense]

[Details: When you cast two or more defensive skills on yourself, the 'Defend' effect is triggered. When a defensive skill is broken, the remaining defensive skills will be enhanced by 3% (increased with authority), and can be stacked.]

A defensive field skill that encourages armor stacking!
Although at present, there are very few people who can break through the Dragon Scale Technique, but as the situation becomes more chaotic, the enemies they face will become more and more advanced.

This field can give him a considerable sense of security.

The mushroom man Noah on the side was stunned.

He walked over and rubbed the muscles on Rod's arm with his chubby fingers.

"Brother Rhodes, did you also fight the spores?"

"No, what do you mean by 'also'?"

Haley came over and unnecessarily cast another Dust Cleansing Spell on Rhodes.

Then he said, "Most mushroom people are addicted to hallucinogenic spores. For some with severe symptoms, simple inhalation is no longer enough. They will choose to cut open their bodies and fill the wounds with hallucinogenic spores. This way, they will mistakenly believe that their muscles have become stronger."

Rhodes looked at Noah's arm.

I saw several moldy knife cuts.

"Mr. Noah, you'd better take it easy."

"Hahahaha—the hallucinogenic spores must not be let down! This is the creed of us myconids!"

"Come on, not all mushroom people are addicted to hallucinogenic spores," said Haley.

Rhodes touched his chin.

I also thought of the mushroom man Toru in the dungeon of Quartz Town. That guy was always unwilling to belong and would rather die in the dungeon than surrender.

So he asked Noah for advice.

"Easy! Just destroy his hallucinogenic spores!"

"That guy is in the dungeon, so he shouldn't be able to absorb the spores."

"You don't understand this, Brother Rhodes. Most myconids grow hallucinogenic spores in their bodies. They are self-sufficient. You just need to seal the cap that releases the spores."

"I understand. I'll try."

Noah nodded in satisfaction.

But then he showed a look of doubt.

"What's wrong, Mr. Noah?"

"Ah, that's right. We myconids inhale hallucinogenic spores to achieve a state called 'Telekinesis'. This allows us to connect our minds and share illusions with individuals from other colonies. That Toru is clearly a stray myconid. Who is he 'Telekinesis' with?"

"Maybe he's just enjoying it on his own."

"That's right, maybe some mushroom people would like this."

Terry showed half of her head from Rhodes' chest:

"This [Nesio] sounds a bit like the psychosynchronization of lycanthropy."

Mentioned before.

One of the theories about lycanthropy is that it is the blood of the invisible god, and everyone infected with lycanthropy will be mentally synchronized with the invisible god.

Ona: "Perhaps. After all, as fungal creatures, myconids are likely the oldest intelligent creatures on the continent. It's not impossible for these 'gods' who have never appeared in the world to draw knowledge from them." "Could this be the reason why the lycanthropes attacked the Mycelium Clan?"

Rod said.

"It's possible, but I'm more inclined to believe that the intelligent lycanthropic patient is heading for the golden crown. This evil object has a strong psychedelic effect, perhaps amplifying the lycanthropic patient's mind synchronization effect, perhaps even to the point where just seeing it can cause mind synchronization."

Listen to Ona's speculation.

He imagined the scene for a moment.

Don't forget that the psychedelic effects of this crown can even bypass the recording stone and affect the person who sees the image.

If someone spreads the image of the crown across the continent, wouldn't most people become beastly?

"That sounds a bit scary."

But.

This speculation is based on another speculation, and it is difficult to determine whether it is true or false.

Enough of small talk.

The group continued to move forward.

In order to verify his ability in the new field, Rhodes resolutely decided to continue clearing mines with his body.

At present, he does not have many defensive skills, including Dragon Scale Technique and Lightless Chang'en Seal.

Spiritual warriors don't have many means in this regard.

They either dodged or parried with their weapons.

Even if you use spiritual power to defend your entire body, the most commonly used thing is the spiritual energy membrane.

In addition, most of the time it is hard capped, and the number of defensive skills is definitely not as good as that of the mage.

To stack shields, you have to be a mage.

Rhodes recalled the content of Callister's course.

Then, with the help of the super comprehension power of the ten spirit seeds, he immediately cast two defensive spells.

Shield and Mana Shield.

One is a round shield force field composed of magic power, and the other is a spherical force field covering the entire body.

"[Overlay Defense] is a field skill that relies not on the quality of the shield, but on the quantity."

In other words.

The other fancy shield skills stacked up together are all stepping stones for the bottom-level [Dragon Scale Technique].

The cave is much larger than it appears.

After removing three more traps.

Two hours have passed.

At this time, everyone came to a spacious space of about five or six thousand square meters.

The soft light of the luminous magic shines on the towering rock wall, where stalactites and stalagmites are intertwined, the terrain is uneven, and the traces of water on it carry the taste of the vicissitudes of time.

The air was moist and heavy, and occasionally the sound of dripping water could be heard.

Looking in front of him, Rhodes always felt that this was the cave of a demon king from Journey to the West.

The place is densely filled with various spores, blocking everyone's perception.

Just want to move forward.

Suddenly, a sound of breaking air came from the high place ahead.

The simulacrum in the front crashed to the ground, with a huge gaping wound on its head.

Rhodes was quick-witted and quick-handed. He predicted a direction and drew his sword to unleash a [Screaming Sword Wave].

The blue spiritual slashing wave hit the rock wall and did not hit anything.

"Ok?"

Everyone looked around but didn't see any enemy.

"Invisibility?"

The Protoss Hayley stepped forward, chanted a spell briefly, and cast a spell to break the invisibility.

The light instantly filled the spacious space.

But there was still nothing.
