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

Chapter 701 Robbery
The broken crystal clusters lay upside down on the ground.

The crystallized trees, which changed color with the moonlight, are now just a few broken trunks, with turbid, dark purple crystalline nodules congealed at the cut surfaces, resembling solidified pus and blood.

The ground crackled, each step stirring up fine dust.

The labyrinth altar hidden in the crystal forest on the east side—that is, the place where Fatima, the chief of the Winged Crystal Blue Ice Clan, and the mother of the Winged Crystal Clan's wryly smiling little boy, Siti, personally granted Rhodes and the others labyrinth passes.

Now, half of it has collapsed, and the exposed internal structure looks like a molar that has been eaten away by worms.

Some kind of black filamentous material hangs between the crystal walls, swaying slowly with the airflow.

"The ritual to control the maze has failed."

Calliste was already quite interested in the Winged Crystal Clan's technology, and now that she could observe it directly, she was even more excited.

"Those Winged Crystal Clan little fairies?"

"They've probably already left. The current state of the maze doesn't meet the living conditions of the Winged Crystal Clan."

"I thought they would at least say goodbye before they left."

Hunting the mutated monsters in the Flawless Crystal Land in the early stages was somewhat beneficial to Rhodes, and he also met people like Calliste, Tiflin Cecilia, and the zombie Selena there, which left a deep impression on him.

The fairies' silent departure left the respectable Rhodes somewhat lonely.

"Rod."

The tree spirit Vivian suddenly stepped forward and hooked her index finger around his belt, tugging at it.

When Rod turned around, she pointed innocently to a broken tree trunk about half a person's height not far away.

Everyone took a closer look.

Within the translucent crystal tree trunk, one can vaguely discern a small fairy in a flying posture, encased inside like amber.

"Oh?"

Calliste strode forward, and after a brief examination, her expression turned grave.

"It has only the appearance, but its interior has been drained. The maze's abnormal suction isn't strong enough to prevent escape."

Rhodes was about to take a closer look when he suddenly stopped.

He glanced at the panel; the words "Flawless Crystal Land" maze pass were slowly fading.

"The pass is invalid."

"Hey, Terry too, just like Master!"

"Is this something to be happy about, you stupid succubus? Without the pass, it means we might not be able to get out of the [Flawless Crystal Land]."

"Terry doesn't care. Dying with Master is fine. Maybe before she dies, Terry can even taste what it's like to be dead~~"

Calliste snorted and glanced at Rhodes.

It's as if it's saying, 'Look at the succubus you've spoiled.'

Rod waved his hand: "I might know the reason. Come with me and take a look."

The elf lady naturally couldn't be bothered to argue with the succubus.

With their commotion over, the group moved from the Flawless Crystal Land to the easternmost demonized cave.

The maze wasn't large, but the cool and desolate environment made one want to be on guard, so overall we were moving rather slowly.

As they continued, the dilapidated state of the crystal land worsened.

Some areas of the ground were no longer covered by crystals; instead, they were covered with dense black filaments, resembling black soil.

Not a moment longer.

The group finally saw the rose tree that Rhodes had marked with the "Plunder" attribute.

It stands in the center of the broken crystal, its original deep blue translucent crystal body now dyed bright red by the delicate roses.

Like a burning crimson torch, it pierced through this desolate, crystal-clear wasteland.

The petals were not soft silk, but translucent, blood-red crystals with sharp, knife-like edges. Deep within the flower's heart, fine crystalline threads wriggled, refracting an eerie rainbow in the sunlight.

Its roots do not take root underground, but meander on the surface of the earth, and wherever they pass, the originally gray cracks of the crystal land are stained with scarlet veins.

"Although it is not visible to the naked eye, there are many Winged Crystal Clan members inside its trunk. The good news is that many of them are not completely dead yet."

Calliste, with a sour face, looked the huge rose tree up and down.

Then she looked at Rhodes, "And how did you know it was this tree that was behind it?"

"Bad news, I'm the one who created this tree. Remember the [Dual Casting] skill I helped you create?" During the battle against the Plague Mage Amel, Rhodes gave the Elf a mouthful of blood and boosted her spirituality, so she was one of the people in the know.

Although I added quite a bit to her when 'catching frogs'.

Calliste seemed to remember something; a faint pink tinge crept onto her long, pointed, beautiful elven ears, but her face remained as sour as ever.

What did you get from it?

"【Forced Seizure】, I never expected a spiritual technique that absorbs the surrounding spiritual energy to be so powerful."

Rod was also a little annoyed and rubbed his temples.

"That's all? You didn't do anything to it?"

"Of course not, it's a tree, what could I do to a tree?"

Just then, Terry's little head popped over, looking at her owner with a mischievous grin.

I still vividly remember the scene from a month ago when I was keeping the space dry and the ancient tree Eva was still in the air, and I was even using Terry juice as a lubricant.

The master's mouth is a deceitful devil.

"."

Rod made a zipping motion towards her.

Terry smiled broadly and whispered, "I'll forget, okay? If Master is willing to make Terry happy in bed with his mouth... just his mouth, okay?"

"Ok?"

"If you don't want to, that's fine too. Terry will just forget about it anyway."

The succubus shrugged, remembering the unequal relationship between them, and dared not bargain.

"Then it's settled."

"Really?!"

"If you don't want to, then forget it."

"willing!"

Terry's eyes sparkled, and even her obedience level increased by two points.

She shoved Vivian aside with her bottom, grabbed Rod's arm, and giggled foolishly.

Calliste clearly didn't notice the two of them joking around.

She continued to gaze at the rose bush in front of her, which resembled crimson fireworks, and the magic emanating from her hands never stopped.

"Is it just a matter of plundering spirituality by force? That's strange. There are far more than just spirituality mixed in with this rose tree."

Rhodes was also taken aback.

"What else?"

"The essence of tree spirit bloodline factors, at least five kinds of parasites, three different domain powers, and divine power."

The voice just fell.

The entire crystal field seemed to fall silent; the wind stopped, and even the twisted, growing crystal clusters ceased their humming.

The rose bushes, like a grand fireworks display, suddenly burst forth with dazzling light.

Kalista was already an eighth-level expert with extremely fast reflexes. With a spatial teleportation, she jumped with Rhodes and the other two to create distance.

Rhodes stepped forward, blocking the three women behind him.

"This is."

The entire crystal field began to wail, and even the remaining, broken crystals began to twist and peel off in the light, like scorched filth.

next moment.

The light extinguished.

A figure floated in mid-air, and the suspended crimson petals immediately gathered towards her, weaving into a light gauze-like robe.

Her exquisitely beautiful face had her eyes closed, but the anger on her face was still clearly visible.

"I am Daphne, who is causing this disturbance!"
