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

Chapter 657 Encounter
Rhodes raised his eyebrows.

Big star Lyra Star Language?
How did she get in? And how did she see through my disguise?
Rhodes looked at the panel.

[Collision detection triggered!]

[Disguise Domain - Basic (Rhodes): 59]

【Domain ? - Eye of the Sky (Kraft Star Language): 91】

【Result: Failure! 】

"Oh"

As a big star, Leila Xingyu attracts a lot of attention, and it's not uncommon for her privacy to be dug up.

It was revealed that she was the daughter of the veteran ninth-level expert, the city lord of Yunzhi City.

Kraft Star Language
That is, the name of the city lord of Yunzhi City.

It's safe to say that this veteran ninth-tier fighter's strength completely overwhelmed Rhodes's Disguise Domain.

The [Treasure Preference] on the panel has been successfully activated, with seven or eight threads representing treasure levels extending from various parts of the superstar's body.

The four people bumped into each other almost instantly.

Before Rhode could even see which treasures they were...

Medlin's face suddenly turned pale with panic, and she quickly pointed her staff at Rhodes.

"Haley, run!"

The [Magic Seal Orb], which had consumed a magic spell slot, was instantly cast. The blue magic power exploded in front of Rhodes, expanding into a spherical force field that trapped him.

"?"

The blue spherical force field released arcs of electricity into Rhodes, crackling and illuminating his face until it turned pale.

"Medlin! What are you doing? There's something wrong with the maze!" Hailey yelled.

"Nonsense! Of course I know there's something wrong with the maze! Didn't you see I was trying to save you?!"

Lyra Starwhisper hesitated for a moment, then patted the Protoss mage beside her: "Sister Medlin, it's true."

Medlin paused for a moment, then looked over with his only remaining right eye, squinting to focus.

A second or two later, she slapped her forehead in frustration and immediately canceled the spell.

"Sorry, we encountered something terrible, so we made a mistake."

talking.

Only then did she notice the black shadows and severed limbs scattered all around her.

Half a skeleton stuck upside down in the ground, a large knife splitting a tree, and broken, exposed internal organs scattered on the ground like waste.

The pungent smell of burning and decaying miasma mingled with the eerie winds that swept through, stirring up ashes and shards of ice. Before being illuminated by the pale moon, the area was shrouded in mist, appearing and disappearing indistinctly.

A flash of shock crossed Medlin's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Oh, you encountered it too, but your shadows are clearly weaker than the real bodies, unlike us."

She looked at the human man who was patting the black and gray substance off his shoulder with a grim expression.

The guy looked at Leila Xingyu with a helpless expression, while the big star looked up with a guilty smile, like a little girl who had made a mistake.

Hailey exclaimed in horror: "You encountered his clone and still survived?"

"You've encountered this before? But unlike the fakes you've dealt with, that guy's clone was probably chosen by the labyrinth's rules to become a gathering place of power, and his strength far surpasses that of ordinary people. If it weren't for Lord Mortas stopping him..."

Medlin looked visibly shaken as she spoke.

Hailey was bewildered: "What are you talking about? Everyone here has real strength comparable to the original form, if it weren't for Rhodes..."

"Alright, alright, now's not the time to boast and put on airs. We should think about how to save ourselves."

He waved to his old rival.

Hailey finally understood.

She had seen a copy of Rhodes, but mistakenly believed that his excessive strength was due to the favor of the labyrinth's rules.

"."

Rhodes couldn't help but tug at Lyra Starwhisper's long elven ears, his face showing some impatience.

"I told you to behave yourself."

Leila cried out in pain, then stepped back with a fawning smile: "I was the one who wandered in by mistake during my walk."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Your agent has reported this to Coral Bay, and they're secretly looking for you, you know that? Do you know how much manpower and resources it's costing?"

"Oh, I'll compensate you."

Rod's expression immediately softened: "You said it." You only realize how little money you have when you need it.

Everything is difficult at the beginning. The reconstruction of Coral Bay has only been going on for two months. It is impossible to make a profit like this. The long-term project must be carried out.

This concert actually helped ease our finances somewhat.

The big star was stunned for a moment, then glared at him angrily.

Rod ignored her.

Inform the spider-spirit Yuna about the location of the cloud spirits via the Chain of Distant Words.

Yuna breathed a sigh of relief in the voice message, but clearly hesitated to speak about their positions and relationship, and exited the connection with a bitter tone.

"Lyra Star Language?!"

Hailey exclaimed in surprise, "Rhodes, you brought her in?"

"How is that possible? This girl came in on her own. Heaven knows what kind of treasure she used."

Lyra Starry-Eyed, her eyes sparkling, jumped excitedly in front of Hailey:
"Miss Hailey? Are you Rhodes's target this time? Wow~~~ You both have your own enslavement marks! How romantic—"

Inspiration struck again.

The mad whispers of the Silent Throne were momentarily suppressed by the images in Rhodes and Hayley's minds, like a concubine who couldn't win the emperor's favor letting out a mournful wail before gradually fading away.

Hailey stiffened slightly: "What do you mean I'm his target? We're partners!"

"Wow~~ Such a cute expression, so shy~~"

"you"

"Miss Hayley, what is it about Rhodes that you find appealing?"

I wasn't moved by him.

"So you mean Rhodes is completely useless and has no way of winning a girl's heart?"

I never said that.

Haley gave Rhodes a look, signaling him to lead the cloud elf in front of him away.

Rod smiled and ignored it, watching with great interest.

The Protoss girl was immediately enraged and glared at him fiercely.

"Rhodes is at least a decent man. Don't you have anything you like about him?"

"He's warm, okay? Everyone is warm."

Hailey didn't want to say too many nice things about Rhodes, lest it make it seem like she was interested in him.

So I just made up one at random.

However, Lyra's sharp tongue was unbelievably keen.

She scanned the horrific battlefield around her, and an image flashed through her mind of two people fighting back to back to the death, finally embracing each other for warmth when they were exhausted.

He immediately shouted excitedly, "He hugged you?"

"What? How come?"

Madeline also looked over, frowning as she sized up Rod and Hayley.

"Can we talk about something serious? We're still stuck here."

"That's it."

Hayley hurriedly agreed and went to Medlin's side.

Leila Xingyu was grabbed by the collar by Rhodes and pulled away lightly like a kitten.

After the brief reunion.

The two sides exchanged information.

The Hall of Moon Gazing, the Silent Throne, and the most dangerous replica of the Moon Shadow.

With the memory transfer stone in hand, Medlin felt that the Homecoming Prophet would come for help, and suggested that they also hide away to avoid being killed by the labyrinth monster in the form of Narod.

As for Rod, he was definitely trying to save himself; he had already told Hailey about it before.

Hayley had unwavering faith in Rhodes and expressed her support.

Leila Xingyu had no objections; she went wherever Rhodes went.

After a brief discussion, Medlin had to frown and acknowledge the importance of collective action.

The self-rescue plan was approved by a vote of three to one.
