Chapter 185: The Vortex and Withering Appear Again

Perhaps she saw through Rod's thoughts.

The bone dragon Megan explained again: "It is 【Seductive Fluid】. Although I do not know how a human like you obtained it, there is no doubt that this spiritual technique, exclusive to succubi in the real world yet incomplete, has been perfected within you."

Rod was puzzled: "But I do not feel any difference between my 【Seductive Fluid】 and that of a normal succubus?"

He knew that the shared skills within the Nu Yi Zhou belonged to the fully realized state, but up until now, aside from the 【Tree Blessing】 which displayed performance exceeding ordinary spiritual techniques, the others had not been particularly extraordinary.

Moreover, the state of the 【Seductive Fluid】 could be dispelled via magic potions; if one were to claim this skill was highly advanced, Rod truly did not know how to say so.

Megan: "It does not manifest in reality. If I am not mistaken, every time you use the 【Seductive Fluid】, its lust exceeds the individual's limit, affecting the extra-dimensional space, and might even produce a cosmic creature composed entirely of your lust."

Speaking thus, the bone dragon Megan herself fell into thought.

Moments later she said: "Hehe, that makes sense now. No wonder the spiritual energy storms in the extra-dimensional space have been so bizarre lately."

Rod was left dumbfounded.

"You and the girl Shesheshi caused the spiritual energy storms in the extra-dimensional space?!"

The bone dragon Megan couldn't help but laugh: "You do not possess such power; spiritual energy and ether are not as simple as imagined. This is at most a hypothesis. However, your 【Seductive Fluid】 did indeed exert a certain influence on the extra-dimensional space."

Rod wore a constipated expression.

Saying that makes me feel a lot of pressure.

It feels as if I am the main culprit behind the recent frequent uprisings of cosmic creatures.

"Hahahaha—you need not be like this. Is this not a good thing? Mages in the real world hate the stagnant calm the most; seventy percent of modern spells were developed amidst turmoil."

Having said that, the bone dragon Megan threw a small white bone chain from the extra-dimensional space channel.

She said: "Let your Tree Spirit Young Lady wear this; it can conceal the 【Lust Ke Yin】."

Rod did not believe her immediately.

He used the 【Trembling Soul Blade】 to cast an 【Appraisal Spell】 upon it.

Only after confirming it was correct did he place it around the Tree Spirit's neck.

Megan: "The reason she has become so lewd is also because she needs to make love to attract the attention of cosmic creatures. Once she wears the necklace, she will return to normal, but the bone chain has limits. I suggest engaging in sexual release with her at least once a week. Forget I said it; you certainly would not let her go anyway."

Rod bitterly smiled and expressed his gratitude to her.

Megan giggled: "Consider it my investment, Rod young man. Your potential is greater than you imagine."

Rod naturally did not take her words too seriously. Just as he intended to take his leave and sever the connection, he suddenly remembered the introduction within the 【Daphne's Spirit Seed】 skill.

'A hidden hand Daphne left within the Tree Spirit bloodline.'

He asked again.

The bone dragon Megan was unconcerned: "There are countless people who leave hidden hands in bloodlines. So what? There are even more hidden hands in human bloodlines. Otherwise, how do you think races such as Tieflings, Witches, Asmodeans, and others, which transformed from humans, came into existence?"

"Uh..."

The two did not chat for long.

They soon severed the extra-dimensional space channel.

However, just before leaving, Megan still, as usual, threw over a small item as a reward.

A purple-white chunk of flesh.

The 【Appraisal Spell】 indicated this was a piece of high-tier Eye Demon flesh, at least eighth tier or above.

Because this thing was too disgusting.

Rod did not dare to throw it into his mouth immediately; he merely used a magic preservation tool to store it.

Another week passed.

Morning.

Rod swallowed the tenth Spirit Seed, and after training with the 【Gravity Frog's Tongue】, his spiritual accumulation successfully broke through to the mid-stage of the sixth tier.

The Spirit Seed production for this week was relatively low.

Even so, he had originally estimated he would need another one to two months to break through to the mid-stage, yet under the intervention of the Spirit Seeds, it was advanced by so much.

"I can only say, as expected of a hidden skill; is this 【Daphne's Spirit Seed】 a bit too strong?"

Although it was said to be reusable.

Rod actually already vaguely felt that the effect of the newly consumed Spirit Seed was inferior to the previous one.

One would think it should be so.

Otherwise, with such exaggerated effects, Rod would only need to wait endlessly for the Spirit Seeds to grow, lie down for ten or eight years, and reach the strongest on the continent, plus pierce through the extra-dimensional space.

Hmm.

The latter might not be possible.

"Since the effect of the Spirit Seeds has begun to decline, it is also time to consider using them on the girls."

After reaching the mid-stage of the sixth tier, Rod did not stop training.

Following his own plan and rhythm, he began high-intensity running practice with the 【Gravity Frog's Tongue】 in the forest.

He ran all the way from the Bai Yu District to the Eucalyptus District, and then from the Eucalyptus District to the Oak District.

Well.

Here he encountered the long-unseen giant squirrel Cui Qian.

"Mr. Rod! What a coincidence!"

The giant squirrel clumsily clung to the tree trunk; seeing Rod, she wiggled her buttocks and big tail down.

Rod couldn't help but laugh: "You say you are a servant of the World Tree, yet why do you look so skilled at climbing trees?"

Cui Qian scratched her head with her small paws, unconvinced: "It is a gravity problem here; otherwise, I could definitely climb up!"

Whoosh—whoosh—

The sound of something falling came from the distance.

Rod turned his head to look, seeing only a fleeting blue-white wolf tail.

She was a half-wolf from the Oak District.

He had once heard the Scorpion Woman Hera mention that she was a lady; clearly, she was as timid as Miss Xiao Ke.

The great squirrel belatedly turned its head and discovered a pile of fallen wild fruits on the ground.

It hurriedly ran over to feast.

And it thanked the direction the half-wolf had departed: "Thank you, kind Druid."

Rod was also stunned for a long moment.

"That half-wolf Young Lady is a Druid?"

"Of course. I am Lottatosk the Gray Squirrel of the Tree Realm; I can recognize a Druid at a glance."

She pawed around, found the reddest wild fruit, and nibbled it in small bites.

Seeing Rod standing there in a daze, she set aside a small pile from the wild fruits.

"Here, for you, Mr. Rod."

Rod smiled and thanked her.

Most Druids on the continent are of the neutral alignment.

Since this is a profession rather than a race, the moral concepts and code of conduct among Druids differ greatly; one can even encounter those of evil or chaotic factions.

But what remains unchanged is their neutrality; therefore, Druids often appear as mediators.

Just as he was thinking this, a spiritual fluctuation appeared in the tree trunk beside him.

A green hole manifested, and Vivian stepped out.

On her delicate face, which usually showed no emotion, clear anger appeared.

"Trees, withered, appearing again."

Rod's expression darkened.

"Even a Tier Seven Tree Spirit cannot scare you away, you vile Ruin Brotherhood?"

The goblin Peter had once mentioned that this was the work of a Wen Yi Fa.

"So what if it is a Wen Yi Fa? Others fear your reputation, but I do not."

"Vivian, go summon Miss Xiao Ke and Lady Kali, and we will go take a look together."

The great squirrel obviously understood that someone was destroying the forest.

As a creature of the Tree Realm, she was also one who loved trees as her own life and immediately indicated she would go along.
