Chapter 245: Sister Ou Jia

After concluding the trial detonation of the magic ring.

Zombie Selena received a new research mission: the study of the Dimensional Stone notes.

She had long been quite interested in extra-dimensional spaces, and the extra-dimensional power within the Dimensional Stone suited her perfectly.

She eagerly returned to her room to conduct research.

Meanwhile, Vivian parted ways with Rod; the trees damaged by 【Plant Wither】 from the previous period had not yet been fully cleared, and she had her own matters to attend to.

Rod felt somewhat concerned about the situation of Rat Girl No. 13 and the Orc Amy.

The former was, after all, a new resident of the forest; as the Forest Warden, observing her was hardly unreasonable.

As for the latter, due to the Beast Transformation Sickness, after two days, she should at least go to Lady Kali's for a re-examination.

First, he found Amy still fast asleep inside the Orc hut.

He kicked her twice, but she did not wake.

Rod simply hoisted her onto his shoulder and went to the side of the Elf's magic treehouse.

This time, there was no need to throw a stone from a hundred meters away to knock on the door.

The Elf, the Cat Sprite Little Orange, Rat Girl No. 13, Pony Girl Little Little Bangde, and Big Pine Tree Cui Qian gathered in the small courtyard before the door.

Among them, Little Orange, Little Bangde, and Cui Qian, the three small ones, stood in a row, heads bowed in unison and too afraid to speak as they were scolded by Lady Kali.

"What is going on here?"

Rod walked over and, with a thud, dumped the female Orc onto the ground.

Amy was thick-fleshed; it felt like scratching an itch, so she rolled over and continued sleeping.

Seeing the parent arrive, Lady Kali put on a sour face to report: "Little Bangde has been messing around and fooling around every day; she hasn't remembered a single bit of knowledge from this past month. Do you know the score on this morning's assessment? It wasn't ten, nor was it five; it was zero!"

"I advanced to the Fifth Tier."

The Pony Girl spoke timidly, yet still defiant.

"Yes, Little Bangde, advanced to the Fifth Tier." Big Pine Tree Cui Qian expressed support for her friend.

"Oh dear, oh dear, Little Kali, what's wrong with children being a bit playful? When you and I were at school, our studies weren't exactly excellent either!"

The Cat Sprite Little Orange grinned and tried to smooth things over.

"That's you; I was first every single year."

Lady Kali swept a cold gaze over the three small creatures. "Even if we let those matters slide and I don't hold them against you, what about taking No. 13 to fight the neighbors, catching mice for barbecue, and using spells to blow up the latrine?"

Upon hearing this,

Rod couldn't help but have a face full of black lines.

He looked again at No. 13.

She had changed into a new outfit: a pair of men's trousers and boots that had been recut, with a perfect waistline, plus a short, thick coat, making her legs look extremely long.

At this moment, she was hiding behind the Elf, but her one-meter-eight stature simply could not be concealed behind the Elf's one-meter-seven back.

"Wait, why do these trousers look so familiar?"

Little Bangde excitedly raised her hand: "I stole them from you, and Sister Miss Xiao Ke cut them; don't they look great!"

Cui Qian also raised her small paw: "I had a hand in the theft too."

Little Orange fanned the air in front of her nose: "The scent of vital energy there was too heavy and too strong; I didn't have the heart to go in."

Rod walked over and gave each of them a flick on the forehead, the Cat Sprite no exception.

"No stealing things."

He adjusted his force with order; do not think that thick skin and flesh means it won't hurt.

Hearing their wails, it counted as a punishment for them.

Lady Kali knew he intended to excuse the three of them.

She sighed: "Little Bangde has been a bit too unruly these past few days."

Regarding this, Rod and Miss Xiao Ke had once discussed the matter after finishing their business by the river.

Miss Xiao Ke had always grown wild up to now; Rod was also quite tired of the high-pressure education of his past life, so they quickly reached a consensus.

That was to let Little Bangde play happily while ensuring her accumulation of spiritual energy did not fall behind.

"What is this about fighting the neighbors?"

Rod cared more about this point.

Who was the neighbor?

Little Bangde excitedly raised her hand again: "Sister Sister Ou Jia! No. 13 and Sister Sister Ou Jia had a fight; it was so exciting!"

"Who is Sister Ou Jia?"

Lady Kali: "The half-wolf Druid who fought the Wen Yi Fa alongside us. Don't tell me you still don't know her name?"

She hid from me; what could I do?

Rod was helpless.

However, both No. 13 and Sister Ou Jia were Seventh Tier; he shouldn't have been unable to perceive anything, should he?

The Cat Sprite Little Orange seemed to see through his doubt and said:

"It was simply a simple spar; almost no spiritual energy was used. On one hand, it was to test No. 13's potential; on the other hand, it was for Little Sister Ou Jia's post-plague rehabilitation."

That injury from that time still hasn't healed?

Previously, when besieging the Wen Yi Fa together with the half-wolf Sister Ou Jia, she had been injured by the Plague Domain.

He had thought that with her constitution, it would heal after a while, yet it dragged on until now.

"Do you know her location?"

Rod frowned.

She was both a colleague who had worked together and a neighbor of the forest; one should at least maintain a good relationship.

Forget about before — now that I've gained some insight into the Plague Domain and mastered 【Symbiotic Rot】, I naturally won't stand by and do nothing.

"I know! Mr. Rod is going to fight, right?! I'll take you there!"

Cui Qian got excited, bouncing along — though given her weight, the bouncing was rather minimal.

"A fight?! I'm coming too!"

Little Little Bangde hurriedly chimed in.

"You're not allowed to go. Only Cui Qian and me."

Rod paid no heed to the little horse-girl's pleading and handed the beastman over to Lady Kali for examination.

He picked up Cui Qian and headed toward the eucalyptus grove.

"Cui Qian. Have you gotten heavier again."

"No way! I've been controlling my food intake, okay!"

Eucalyptus Grove.

Under the guidance of the great squirrel Cui Qian, they successfully drew out the half-werewolf druid Olga.

Why say "drew out"?

Rod was afraid of being avoided again, so he had the sleeping Tally hide him, and sent Cui Qian to find the person.

It wasn't long before Olga appeared in the form of a giant wolf.

Her blue-white fur rose like flames, drifting with the wind.

At the position of her belly, a patch of yellow-green blood scab was clearly visible.

Within it, a faint trace of plague power still lingered — though she had suppressed it, so it hadn't spread.

Rod watched, his brow furrowing.

He leapt out from the shadows.

The giant wolf got a fright, instinctively blasting out several wind blades.

But the moment she saw clearly it was Rod, she immediately regretted it.

The instinctive strike had been heavy — though this forester was formidable, blocking a seventh-tier wind blade was still difficult.

Clang-clang-clang—

The wind blades struck the other's dragon-scale skin like a drumbeat — aside from tearing his clothes, nothing happened.

The giant wolf stared wide-eyed in a daze.

Rod, however, was a bit angry:

"This is the Plague Domain! Don't you know it's contagious? You had to go around meeting other people, and you couldn't even find someone to treat you yourself?"

Little Little Bangde is only fifth-tier — he's on the weaker side in the forest.

If he got tainted by the Domain's power, surviving would be rough.

The giant wolf shrank back, her gaze drifting guiltily to one side.

Then she opened her mouth and let out a clear, soft girlish voice.

"I can suppress it."

"Shut up! I can't allow hidden dangers to exist in my forest! Come here! Let me heal it!"
