Chapter 222: Materials

"Oh? So have you found them?"

Rod was quite concerned about this matter.

Previously, the rat-men had already invaded once; even the witch Dimia had led people to negotiate and obtained a promise of withdrawal and no further harassment.

However, after Rod and the land naga Iva accidentally investigated, they learned that the rat-men had broken their promise and were secretly building an underground city beneath Shi Ying Town.

Once exposed, they not only refused to retreat but took advantage of the forest's empty defenses to launch an attack.

Rod felt thoroughly disgusted by these little creatures.

If the rat-men hadn't been so skilled at digging tunnels, making their nest impossible to locate, he would have already gone to raid their home.

"No."

Chris replied.

"Then what the hell are you saying?"

"Almost! I've already found some traces and am confident I'll locate them within these few days!"

"Alright. If you find them, I'll count it as Yi Gong."

Her face lit up with joy: "Is there a reward?"

Rod smiled: "Tally always loves asking me for rewards."

"Not that kind!"

"Fine. If you succeed, I'll consider loosening some of your orders. How about that?"

Chris was overjoyed.

Truly, the crying child gets the candy.

In the past, those with sins like the ghoul Pan Ni, the orc Amy, and the zombie Selena, even when they accomplished things, Rod rarely gave them rewards.

After all, they didn't like to make a fuss.

But someone like the banshee Chris, who would act as if her life depended on getting something, would throw a tantrum and act spoiled all at once.

Never mind.

Anyway, compared to the three above, this one's nature was the mildest, even if her personality was a bit vicious.

After a few words of idle chat,

Rod hurried her back to Henry Farm.

This shameless creature insisted the road was long, the night dark, and the path slippery, stubbornly refusing to leave.

Let her stay; he was too lazy to care.

Perhaps because Tally's role-playing tonight was too immersive, after two soul impacts, she still hadn't recovered.

Rod hadn't fully calmed down either, and not wanting to wait for her, he decided to go to Henry Farm to handle things with Pan Ni.

Just then, Chris said she wanted to return and insisted on going back to the farm with the Tree Walker.

The next day.

Sunlight streamed through the window, spilling onto the bed in the second-floor bedroom of Henry Farm.

On the bed, Rod opened his eyes after a brief rest.

Spirituality overflowed, his spirit full and vigorous.

"Mid-stage of the sixth rank?"

He had vaguely felt it these past few days, but never expected to level up on Pan Ni's bed.

His spirituality accumulation had risen significantly.

The quality was also good, already vaguely carrying the sharpness of a sword edge.

Rod knew this was a spiritual technique of the Iron-Splitting style of seventh-rank spiritual warriors.

They would hone the sharpness of their spirituality to the extreme.

"I wonder if it suits me."

He squeezed the pale, somewhat inelastic slender body in his arms.

"Mm~"

Pan Ni lay half on top of Rod, using his arm as a pillow, with one side of her bangs lazily draped across his chest.

Her mouth still held his finger, gently biting and sucking at the same time.

She loved biting people, especially during interactions.

There was a faint layer of tooth marks on Rod's shoulder, left by Pan Ni when she ascended.

This might be a ghoul's trait; I've heard they all have a habit of eating the people they like.

Earlier, he had found a water-soaked finger bone in a locked drawer; no need to think to know it was something he had given her before.

It didn't matter anyway.

Besides, she couldn't bite through, and the fact that she bit while biting added a bit of fun, which was quite nice.

He pushed the ghoul off him.

Rod dressed and walked into the forest, then used the Tree Walker to quickly arrive at the Sand Willow District.

It was Long Hun Nao Lin.

This creature knew he was back and used the Chain of Far Speech to greet him.

At that time, Rod and Pan Ni were in the thick of a fierce battle.

Unluckily, she heard the cries and flew into a jealous rage, crying and urging Rod to ignore the vixen and return immediately.

The result was predictable; without a body, the dragon-soul girl gained nothing except adding to Rod's amusement.

"Nao Lin."

Rod arrived at the edge of the Sand Willow District and called out softly.

There was no response.

In fact, Naurin spent most of her day asleep; the calls of ordinary people truly did not get her attention.

But Rod's call had been set by her as a special alert; she would wake up even without him speaking, simply from his approach.

And at this moment, she was obviously throwing a little tantrum.

Rod smiled and shook his head.

Then, feigning helplessness, he said:

"Honestly, sometimes I even admire myself. How can I be so selfless, so unrequited in my devotion to you? But then I think, I am doing this for our future together. And what is the result? I crossed the entire Aethelorn Kingdom and the Heavenly Court Flower Kingdom, enduring hardships to obtain the dragon body materials, yet I haven't even been able to see you."

Having said that.

From that small patch of pink land over there, two dragon horns emerged from the ground.

"Forget it. I'll leave the materials here. It doesn't matter if you don't thank me, it doesn't matter if you don't see me. Even if you ask me to collect more later, I will still go for you without hesitation."

Speaking thus, Rod pretended to put down that half of the cat's tail and turned to leave.

"Don't go!"

Naurin rushed out in a hurry, but she could not leave the maze; she could only reach out from afar.

Where had she ever heard such PUA talk? She was instantly moved beyond measure.

"M-Master, do you really think that?"

"Of course. I like Naurin the most."

"Hehehe~~ No, that won't do. If you like Naurin too much, Naurin will also be troubled." She accepted the dragon body materials with a sweet expression.

【Naurin's obedience to you +10. Current obedience: 62】

【Obedience broke through to 62. Shared skill with Naurin unlocked.】

【Random extraction starting.】

【Chou Qu Cheng Gong】

【Shared Skill: Treasure Obsession】

【Details: Dragons are naturally fond of precious treasures, thus deriving a special spiritual technique. This skill can guide one to find treasures cherished in the heart, and based on the emotions held while possessing them, there is a certain probability to bestow new treasure traits upon that object.】

Rod's eyes widened slightly.

Wow!

Not only can it guide to treasures, but it can also bestow new treasure traits?!

Although it sounds similar to the effect of 【Spiritual Growth】, both bestowing skills upon items.

But treasure traits are incomparable to skills!

Just like the spoils obtained not long ago from 【Cat Fairy Paradise】.

【Fate Grass Bracelet】, 【Memory Wish Stone】, and 【Divine Shield Mirror】.

Among them, only items like the 【Fate Grass Bracelet】 and 【Memory Wish Stone】, which do not rely on spiritual energy and can take effect across classes, can be called treasures. The 【Divine Shield Mirror】, which requires time and spiritual energy to charge, is at most just a magical artifact.

With this skill in hand.

Rod would instantly transform into the Daoist of Many Treasures, smashing treasures with brute force, smashing until they died.

Over there, Naurin took the half of the bloody cat's tail.

Spiritual energy surged, slowly entering the step of digesting the dragon body materials.

Rod did not leave; he simply sat in place and waited.

221 will be late, hasn't passed yet.
