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

Chapter 682 Tree Patterns and Occupation

Whether it's "Whispers of the Galaxy" or "Spiritual Prophecy," both require a medium and a price to be paid as spiritual prophetic arts.

Generally, the medium for prophecy for the half-deer people is their deer ears, but the price is their lifespan.

However, Rhodes's shared skills at their peak give him more options.

That is, there is no cost, but the predictions are not very accurate.

Have no idea.

As a human, Rhodes not only lacked deer ears as a medium, but also had a lifespan of only a hundred years.

Every time it comes at the cost of my lifespan, what's the point of me living?
"Is the chance to become a god so easily attainable?"

Rod curled his lip, not really caring.

The words written in yellow sand that had been climbing the stone steps disappeared, and the sound of the swirling sandstorm filled Rod's ears once more.

The Naga lady has finished her post-battle speech, and the Naga soldiers are roaring with passion.

Then they began the intensive work of collecting the bodies.

Speech aside, greed is human nature, especially for the world-renowned land-based Naga.

Eve wasn't interested in these petty looting incidents, not even the four high-level seventh-tier corpses.

She has her own greedy goals.

Her scales gleamed, and she approached Rhodes with high spirits and radiant confidence.

"How was my line just now? 'Tomorrow, the enemy will lick their wounds and come back stronger—and we will show them with double the fury who truly rules this battlefield!' Did I deliver it well?"

"Good."

Rod hadn't been listening.

Eve pouted in dissatisfaction, sensing his lack of interest.

It then moved its body, revealing the damaged part of its [Radiant Scales], even the inner silver armor was dented.

"Look, the armor is all damaged. Why don't you give me a new one? It has to be of good quality, preferably a treasure."

Her beautiful snake eyes shimmered with hope.

Rhodes smiled.

The spoils of war acquired over this period are considerable, including armor.

The problem is that Rhodes just doesn't want to go along with Eve's outrageous demands.

He shrugged: "Do I look like someone wearing armor?"

Eve's expression immediately fell: "Tch, what use are you?"

"However, I can add some other features to this armor."

After advancing to the [Child of Nature] level, [Growth Spirituality] also gains a new effect: "Tree Pattern Inspiration".

【"Tree Pattern Inspiration": Carving tree patterns onto the surface of an object to give it specific properties.】

This 'specific attribute' looks pretty impressive.

However, it actually needs to be used in conjunction with the basic function of [Growth Spirit] randomly generating skills.

In other words, the skill [Growth Spirit] that randomly appears on an item can be collected through "Tree Pattern Inspiration" and then assigned to a specific item.

"What do you mean? Are you an alchemist?"

"Take a look."

Rhodes placed his hand on her silver armor, consuming 5 points of growth spirit to imbue it with the [Memory Metal] attribute.

The metallic expression on the silver armor, with its tree-like patterns, flashed by and then faded, becoming difficult to see.

Click.

The dented back side started to rise up a bit.

"Yo huh?"

Eve cast an Appraisal spell, her eyes lighting up immediately. "Again! Again!"

[Recognize the Lord].

"Come again, come again."

Rod didn't care; he had accumulated quite a bit of spiritual energy recently.

[Luminescence] [Illusory Image] [Shock Reduction] [Lubrication Technique] [Blinding Technique] [Self-Service Translation]

I swiped quite a few in one go.

Especially after the effects of [Radiance] and [Illusion].

Eve was enveloped in a dazzling and mesmerizing halo of silver armor, making her appear exceptionally holy and radiant. The Naga, ever the vain one, immediately burst into laughter.

He kept turning around to show off.

He hovered around Terry, as if to say, 'Do you have one?'

The succubus rolled her eyes at her, too lazy to pay any attention.

"Rhodes, this is armor, why didn't you add any defensive enhancements?"

Spread your hands.

It's not that I don't want to, it's that I really don't have the time.

The unlucky forest ranger somehow managed to grind his skills until he got the ones he wanted.

"Wait a minute, what does this 'lubrication technique' mean?"

"My hand slipped."

I've smuggled in my own agenda, friends.

The land-based Naga has a very hot and eye-catching figure, unlike the naturally harmonious and perfectly proportioned figure of Kalista.

With a slightly larger physique and equally plump figure, and because the muscles of a snake's body are different from those of two legs, its waist is as slender as a water snake, with slight muscle lines that do not detract from its beauty.

If you slather yourself in lubricant, it might have a unique charm.
Eve didn't care.

She was captivated by the breathtaking beauty of the ground enveloped in light and shadow, and was in high spirits.

"So, shall we go in?"

Rod gestured with his chin toward the tomb entrance.

"No, we won't go in for now."

Eve's smile was both wicked and alluring. "Emptying out the tomb is easy, just one in and one out, but after that, this place will be none of our business. Hehehe, I want not only the tomb, but also this territory and the oasis area we saw when we arrived!"

Rhodes understood.

First, they send troops to occupy the territory under the guise of development, then the development is delayed indefinitely, and eventually it becomes their territory.

Imperialism's old tricks.

Rhodes glanced at the tomb entrance; it seemed the earthworks weren't finished yet, as the downward stone steps hadn't reached the bottom.

"Why don't you just say that the tombs below are one of the ancestral tombs of the Blar clan? Just make up a few artifacts from your Blar clan and say that they were dug out of there. Then spread the word that the Guresh clan is a branch of yours. That way, when you attack, it will be more justifiable."

Eve was taken aback.

Overjoyed, he pounced on Rhodes and gave him a big kiss on the cheek.

"Excellent idea! With you here, becoming the King of the Mirror Desert is just around the corner!"

Rhodes was just saying it casually, after all, in his previous life, ancient uprisings and rebellions were all about having a legitimate reason and being justified.

Under the influence of history, even he, a survivor of the nine years of compulsory education, can still make up a few words.

Although the land-based Naga are tomb raiders, break promises, and are warlike and greedy.

However, the high status of the priests within the clan meant that ancestral tombs were not excavated, and ancestral spirits were worshipped, suggesting that they placed considerable importance on matters of honor.

She's a pretty good girl, you could say.

The next thing is simple.

Eve urgently contacted the army and cleared a route along the way.

Rhodes remained in place, and the combination of [Fear Aura] and Bronze Dragon War Soul Dragon Might was enough to terrify the Guresh Clan who had come upon hearing the news.

I was busy until late at night.

The army of the Blar clan successfully arrived and quickly set up camp to build fortifications.

The Guresh clan also knew that Rhodes was not someone to be trifled with, so they sent someone overnight to request negotiations.

Seeing the other party's eagerness to respond, Eve reacted quickly and immediately realized that the tomb might be far more valuable than she had imagined, and her eyes lit up with excitement.

However, forging the Blar clan tokens would take time, so she feigned agreement and postponed the negotiation date to three days later.

Under Rhodes's overbearing and domineering presence, the other party had no choice but to comply, but who knows if they will remain obedient from then on.

It wasn't until the evening of the following day that the situation was barely stabilized.

After two days and one night of exhaustion, the beloved Princess Eve finally went into her tent to rest, after much persuasion from her generals.

I don't know.

Once inside the tent, another fierce and brutal battle will ensue.

Princess Eve, the commander, was tragically captured and tortured by a certain forest ranger until she was in a sorry state, and in the end, she could only utter lifeless, exhausted murmurs and gasps.
