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

Chapter 473 The Blighted One

Terry, who had been slacking off with Rod back to back, suddenly sneered.

She looked at the ghoul Penny, who looked up in confusion when her name was mentioned, and said provocatively:
"Ghoul, this tiefling says you're a maggot from a cold, lonely graveyard."

"Ah? Woo woo."

Cecilia said hurriedly, "No, no! Miss Penny, I was talking about the feeling that negative energy gives me, not you! Miss Penny is the cutest, most beautiful, and best-looking ghoul I have ever seen!"

"Start looking for compensation~~"

"Miss Terry! Stop making trouble!"

The ghoul suddenly lost the mood to talk about skin care products. He came to Rhodes with a sad face and tugged at his sleeves for comfort.

This guy is quite good at acting like a spoiled child.

Rhodes flipped the lamb chops on the baking tray and patted her cheek affectionately.

I didn't expect to accidentally get black ash and oil stains on it.

Penny whimpered in dissatisfaction and angrily tried to wipe her master's clothes.
But I didn't dare.

I could only stand aside and cry like a punching bag.

Rhodes didn't care about her.

"Cecil, please continue."

"Well, then my fellow adventurer, a human female mage, saw that the other person's tone was really bad, so she spoke up for me."

The tiefling girl cast a bitter glance at the ghoul lady who was acting coquettishly around the man.

I don't know why, but I also specifically mentioned the gender of my companion.

"That girl has a bad temper. She gave us a cold look and secretly encouraged her spirit. I saw that she wanted to attack, so I was about to take my companions to distance herself. After all, the druid's [Wild Shape] is quite powerful, and it is not easy to deal with it at such a close distance.

But we didn't expect that just as we were about to attack, her expression suddenly changed drastically. She looked towards the forest, and without saying a word to us, she transformed into a large, rotting black bird and walked away.

Did your expression suddenly change?
Rhodes touched his chin.

Cecilia said she met that man in the morning.

At that time, Rhode and the girls were probably trying to intimidate the Blizzard Mercenaries. She must have felt the impact of multiple forces and was frightened away.

"How strong is the druid?"

Rod asked.

Sai Xi'er shook her head apologetically: "I can't tell, but it should be at least level seven."

"Seventh level?"

Rhodes, who was already able to kill an eighth-level cultivator, did not relax.

It is not a good thing to underestimate the enemy.

"Turning into a rotting black bird doesn't sound very serious. Is this still a druid?"

There is a half-werewolf druid in the forest, Miss Olga.

Callister's friend, the cat fairy Xiaoju, is also a druid.

Although the two haven't seen each other for a while.

However, their forms after using [Wild Transformation] are all upright, healthy and strong, and have nothing to do with decay or negative energy.

"The Withered."

The elf Callister, who was chatting with the halfling Lily nearby, suddenly spoke up.

Tonight, she tied her cascading golden hair into a ponytail and slightly unbuttoned her high collar. Rhodes actually discovered a small black mole on the side of her exposed snow-white neck.

This feels quite novel.

It can be said that all the girls he had sex with were taken advantage of by him, and he knew every detail of their bodies.

For example, Penny has a black mole on her left breast.

Vivian had two turquoise moles on her thigh, side by side and close to the base.

Amy originally had one on her abdomen, but she was too careless and had it removed. Even more interesting are the land Naga mother and daughter, Eve and Lillian, who both have a red mole in the same position on their right southern hemisphere.

At this time, Callister was already a relatively perfect and exquisite elf.

A small mole appears on the snow-white neck, and below it is the soft collarbone, which inexplicably gives off a special astringent feeling.

Everyone turned their eyes to the knowledgeable elf lady.

And she seemed to have noticed that Rhodes's gaze was too obscene.

He glared at him coldly before continuing:

"The predecessors of the Withered are usually some nature-loving druids. For some reason, they became separated from nature and chose the path of destruction."

"The Road to Destruction?"

It was Tiflindsay, who was of a curious age, who raised the question appropriately.

"They enhance their power by stripping the earth of its life force, and a vibrant forest is the most obvious and direct manifestation of that life force. The Blighters spend almost their entire lives seeking out and destroying green vegetation."

"Doesn't that guy's appearance mean that Wind Wall Forest is being targeted?"

Cecilia's expression changed.

She was extremely annoyed and timidly glanced at Rhode's reaction: "I'm sorry, I should have informed everyone immediately. Maybe I could have kept her here."

Rhodes naturally wouldn't care about such things.

Spread the sauce on a large piece of lamb ribs on the baking tray, and the heat will instantly make the aroma burst out.

He placed the lamb rib on a ceramic plate and handed it to the tiefling girl who thought she had made a mistake.

"I don't blame you. Eat more. You'll grow stronger. I'm more concerned about why the Withered One knows Vivian's name and existence."

Everyone turned their heads and looked towards the corner of the [Wind Wall Technique].

There was a large, beanbag-like sofa that Rod had just bought.

There is also a stew pot next to it, and the ingredients on it are rolling with tons of boiling soup.

Because the half-deer man Xiao Ke and the tree spirit Vivian don’t like the smoke and strong taste of barbecue.

I specially prepared a special meal for them.

The two good sisters were hugging each other on the lazy sofa.

Vivian leaned on Xiao Ke's soft chest, and Xiao Ke gently stroked her green hair like a mother, smiling and whispering something.

Until he noticed everyone's gaze.

Only then did the two of them react.

Even though they were all familiar faces in the forest, Xiao Ke still felt uncomfortable and sat up straight with a slightly red face.

Then she suddenly glared at Rhodes fiercely, hugged Vivian and retreated to prevent him from looking.

"."

Why do you like staring at me?
But Xiao Ke's pair of deer eyes were round and pitiful, not fierce at all, but rather quite cute.

The two were chatting in the corner and didn't hear what happened, so Rhodes repeated what had just happened.

Xiao Ke immediately became serious and asked Vivian a few questions in a low voice.

Then I quickly learned a few things from just a few words:
"Vivian said that before you and I came to this forest, besides the half-werewolf Miss Olga, there was also a druid living in the forest. She was a lady with red spots on her face. She helped Vivian a lot when she first moved here, and Vivian was very grateful to her."

Rhodes looked at Tiflin Saixier again.

Then she nodded: "The withered one does have a red spot on his left cheek."

Well.
Vivian's former friend?
It sounds like he was a good person before, but now that he has become a withered one, it's hard to say.

If it threatens the forest.
For Vivian's sake, maybe he could be spared.

decide as things go.
