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

Chapter 649 Disconnection and Sudden Change

The Protoss Hyrie frowned, scanning the remaining three people.

—It certainly doesn't look like they've set a trap to surround her.

Besides, Rhodes didn't reveal his strength to them, so it's unlikely he would do that.

"what happened?"

The actress with the avant-garde elephant-mastiff didn't rush to explain. She stroked the elephant-mastiff's head to soothe it, and then asked abruptly, "Didn't you see it?"

Hailey asked, puzzled, "What do you see?"

The female spirit then turned to Rhodes: "And you? Did you see it?"

Rhodes shook his head.

“Oh, we all saw it, and we still are.”

The girl's pupils were wide open, and her eyes were somewhat white.

Perhaps this is some kind of reaction from the Protoss?

But Rod hates this kind of thing the most: "If you keep being a riddle teller, I'm going to beat you up."

Hailey tugged at his hand and continued softly, "Tell me more about it."

This is a circular open space surrounded by trees, which has made the fog much thinner.

But even without the terrifying trees surrounding them and the fog that obscures their view and expands the unknown area.

Hailey, however, felt that this place was colder and more cramped than the woods.

Without the obstruction of withered branches, the pale moon in the sky shone even brighter, casting a thick layer of deathly gray on everyone's faces.

Even the faintest hints seemed to be a pair of eyes watching over him.

The Hall for Gazing at the Moon?

Is that how it feels?
The female star swallowed hard.

"Raymond was the first to discover this place. We originally wanted to ambush him here, but he didn't come out even after we waited for half an hour. At first, we thought he had obtained the token and was sneaking away using props and items, so we went in together to check."
However, the eye that peers at the moon has not disappeared; it still hangs in the center, which means the token is still there.

"The Eye that Gazes at the Moon?"

Rhodes expressed his doubts.

Hailey explained, "The token in the Hall of the Moon is the 'Pale Eye.' The challenge inside is to make eye contact with an eyeball and fall into an illusion. You can obtain the token by breaking free."

"This challenge is pretty old-fashioned."

"Yes, after all, these are products that have been passed down for many years, and we are quite adept at dealing with them. The challenges of the three tokens are all easy, so I haven't gone into detail with you."

Hailey looked at her female colleague again: "You can just take the tokens down."

The female spirit trembled: "But...Raymond is still here."

"What are you talking about? Didn't you say he was dead?"

Hailey frowned, clearly annoyed by her female colleague's incoherent ramblings.

Another Protoss, controlling the four-legged dragon vanguard, also looked ashen-faced and added:
“No, that wasn’t Raymond anymore. His corpse had fused with his Corpse Grave Demon vanguard, and a fusion monster like a chimera was roaming the hall. We had to join forces to kill him.”

A fusion monster?

Rhodes smiled.

He found it somewhat interesting.

He had initially thought it would just be an ordinary battle royale trial, but this change actually sparked some of his interest.

"Is this a change that occurred after the challenge was failed?"

"No, the worst that will happen if you fail the challenge in the Hall of Moon Gazing is that your eyes bleed."

Hailey replied.

The female spirit scratched her head in anguish, pulling out a small clump of hair, suggesting it wasn't merely because she had killed a companion.

"What are the people in the association doing?! Didn't they say they had already fixed the effects of the Magic Net Canopy?!"

"Have you reported it? What did the six prophets who returned home say?"

The last Protoss controlling the War Dancers, pale-faced, slumped onto a rock: "We can't make contact. The Magic Stone has been disconnected. Something has changed in the Hall of the Moon's Gaze; the token can't be retrieved."

Let's say the three of them here aren't exactly high-ranking.

But it was at least a high-level seventh rank or above, so its current state is rather pitiful.

Logically speaking, someone who has experienced life and death should not be so distraught over killing a mutated colleague.

"What should we do? Should we go in?" Hailey hesitated after hearing this.

Rhodes looked at the dejected trio: "You said you saw something, what did you see?"

The Protoss controlling the four-legged dragon vanguard paused for a moment.

He shielded his eyes with his hands, then pointed to the moon in the sky, his wide pupils sending chills down one's spine: "Eyes... The moon has turned into eyes, can't you see them?"

The two looked up.

The pale, paper-like moon, apart from being spherical, has nothing in common with the eyes.

"No."

Hailey lowered her head, which had been looking up, and was about to shake it when she suddenly realized that the three dejected people were all looking at them.

His face was terrified, his pupils were pale and strange, almost filling his entire eye sockets.

At this time.

She then noticed that her female colleague's hand, which was resting on the elephant's head to soothe it, hadn't moved at all. Upon closer inspection, it wasn't soothing at all; the muscle fibers of the two animals were clearly intertwined like living things!
Hailey felt her heart skip a beat.

A chill shot down from the top of his head, penetrating his entire body.

"Varied"

"Calm down, Hailey."

A pair of large, warm hands enveloped her palms, and a gentle, kind breath brushed against her ear as he spoke.

I don't know why, but I have a strange sense of security.

Hailey was startled.

He immediately realized that his mind had just been impacted, and quickly cast a spell to defend against it.

"Rhodes, them..."

"They had already lost their lives before we even uttered the first word to them."

"how so."

"And your teleportation crystal that allowed you to escape the maze is most likely also out of order."

With an intrigued smile, Rod pointed to the black metal chains around their waists.

The spot where the teleportation crystal pendant should have been hanging is now empty.

"Roar!"

The Protoss female colleague let out a strange low growl.

Her skin suddenly began to writhe, bulging and tearing like boiling wax. Meanwhile, the muscle fibers of a two-meter-tall, hairless mastiff beside her emerged like living snakes, coming into contact with her skin and frantically intertwining.

The Protoss's finger bones snapped and reformed into twisted claws, its jaw split open, its canines grew wildly, and inhuman howls emanated from its throat.

The mastiff's spine was twisted and deformed, and its ribs pierced through the hard skin, like claws gripping the actress's waist and abdomen.

Then came the sticky sounds of pulling, tearing, and flesh mingling.

After a while.

As the final scream was trapped in the fused throat, a twisted, convulsing, deformed body appeared on the ground.

The mutated heads of the Mastiff and the Protoss were squeezed onto the same neck, with six misaligned limbs and half of a dark blue, translucent body through which the internal organs were still expanding, rupturing, and reorganizing.

The newborn monster suddenly opened its two pale, beastly eyes and glared fiercely and evilly at Rhodes at the front.

A non-human roar came from his throat.
I didn't yell it out.

Pfft!!!

A fire ray as thick as a wrist shot through the air, its violent heat distorting the air and instantly melting through the monster's head.

The shriveled eyeball in Rhodes' palm was forcefully squeezed out, turning into black ash before hitting the ground and dissipating.

"What are you pretending for in front of me?"

Rod stepped forward, his face disdainful.

And at the same time.

The dragon beasts and war dance spirits also began to merge with their Celestial masters.

The same bizarre and disgusting, the same inhuman.

It seems to carry an ancient aura.
