I'm Really Not Targeting the Mages Chapter 173

Chapter 173 – 173 The Withering Cult Believer _1

173 The withering cult believer _1

[ aura special effect-thorn force field: when you encounter a close-range physical attack, you will absorb part of its power and rebound it back to The Enemy Within the range of the aura in the form of a force field spell. ]

After reading the detailed description of the thorn force field.

Roger's eyes brightened.

The effect of this attribute was stronger than he had imagined.

The damage reflection effect of ” thorn field ” did not require him to take any damage.

As long as the enemy completed a close-range physical attack, it would be fine!

This meant that in close combat.

Even if Roger dodged and blocked the enemy's attack, he would still be able to Dodge it.

The power of the opponent's attack would also be reflected.

And in the form of a force field spell!

“As long as I'm continuously beaten, I'll be a mage?”

Many new tactics flashed through Roger's mind.

Without a doubt.

The ” thorn force field ” was a T1 attribute!

The only thing he needed to consider now was the number of berserk thorns.

But Roger wasn't very worried.

He had his own considerations.

“My brother who loves to poke people.”

“The number won't be too small.”

After the death of berserk thorn.

All that was left was a ground full of dead branches and a long, thin needle.

This thing was called [ thorn ].

The [ thorny spike ] was the only offensive organ of the berserk thistles.

Under the observation of aura observation and extraordinary perception.

Information about the berserk thorns kept pouring into Roger's mind.

The berserk thorns were between Level 42 and 45.

Their health points were usually above 600 points, and their defense was also 30 points.

It had 4 special traits.

Two of the effects greatly increased defense, HP, and various resistances.

This was also the reason why Roger had been cutting them for so long.

The remaining two were ” plants also berserk ” and ” greedy feast “.

[ plants are also berserk: berserk thorns have extraordinary movement speed. Most of the time, they will disguise themselves as ordinary thorns, but when they enter a berserk state, their movement speed will be increased to more than 200 points. ]

[feast of greed: after a prey is killed, the berserk thorn will entangle it and secrete a large amount of yellow-green mucus. This mucus is extremely corrosive. This is how the berserk thorn digests its food.]

He roughly read through it.

Roger had a clear understanding of the berserk thorn's behavior.

This kind of demon would secretly stab people to put down the enemy.

Then, he tied it up and released [ greedy feast ].

Finally, he finished a full meal.

It was similar to a Spider-type monster.

The only difference was …

The thorns of the berserk thorns were even more ferocious!

The neurotoxin he had released was extremely lethal.

Most of the people who had been shot by it were stunned.

They all died on the spot!

Even the strong horned demons lost their consciousness immediately.

Roger had prepared all kinds of antidotes in advance.

This underling would probably die on the spot.

Even so …

After taking antidotes and other potions.

The stabbed horned demon was still in a daze and in a very bad state.

Look at him.

It would take at least a week for him to recover.

Roger had no choice but to temporarily put him into the black coffin.

The strength of the monsters in the southern Cemetery.

This was evident.

After this battle.

The small team advanced even more carefully.

They had especially strengthened their defenses against the bushes and thistles.

Roger had also maximized his extraordinary perception.

Even though doing so would cause him to be harassed by some unknown ravings.

However, it could effectively reduce the probability of being attacked.

Just like this.

It took them two days to walk out of the foggy path.

A vast plain appeared in front of them.

At the exit of the small path.

A heavily-guarded fortress was erected.

At dawn.

The thick fog was diluted by the sunlight.

A large number of people were going in and out of the city gate.

It was a bustling scene.

[ prompt: you have discovered the autumn stream Castle. ]

Roger let out a sigh of relief.

But he did not enter the autumn stream Castle.

Instead, he led his followers around the direction of the autumn stream Castle and headed further south.

This fortress was controlled by the floating island, and it was also the southernmost part of the truth society's forces.

With the ” autumn stream Fort ” as the center.

An invisible ” prohibition barrier ” spread in both East and West directions, until it reached an unknown place.

This was also the result of the era of the study of Aether.

It was this barrier that prevented the demons from coming from the southern Cemetery to the North on a large scale.

It was due to the lack of maintenance and the lack of inheritance.

This barrier couldn't prevent the infiltration of demons 100%.

There would always be some fish that slipped through the net, such as the berserk Bramble that Roger had killed before.

But in general.

The barrier was the most important umbrella for Jewel City.

It was also the barrier that the residents of the floating island were most grateful to.

However, there were two sides to everything.

The prohibition spell stopped the monsters from going north.

It also stopped the humans living in the southern Cemetery and even further south from heading north.

According to the information Roger had gathered.

There were many humans living in the southern Cemetery.

They were scattered in all kinds of gathering places.

These humans had evolved to some extent to adapt to the ether aberrations.

At the same time.

They still maintained their independent personalities and normal intelligence.

A considerable number of them wanted to enter gemstone city.

However, this was not an easy task.

Unless they could find a gap in the barrier, the northernmost point they could reach was the ” autumn stream Castle.

As for the autumn stream Castle …

It just so happened to be a stronghold built purely for the trade between the north and south!

According to Shar.

80% of the food resources consumed by the floating island came from the trade channels of autumn stream Fort.

The Southerners wanted to go north.

They also needed to complete their registration at autumn stream Castle and pass the inspection.

This was the reason why the fortress was so lively.

In the eyes of the residents on the surface of the floating island.

The autumn stream castle was a barrier.

He was The Guardian of gemstone city.

In the eyes of the southern tomb barbarian.

It was the entrance to heaven.

It was also an insurmountable wall of despair.

But in Roger's eyes.

It was just a tool for the men on the floating island to harvest leeks …

Someone had to plow the fields, right?

The land near gemstone city was not suitable for large-scale agricultural production.

But the southern Cemetery was the opposite.

The soil there was very fertile.

It was also said to have the magical power to increase the growth speed of plants!

As for this rumor …

Roger hoped it was real.

After leading the team around the ” autumn stream Castle “.

Roger used his sixth sense to find a hole in the barrier.

After passing through.

The group officially set foot on the land of the southern Cemetery.

This place was even more dangerous than the North of the barrier!

In order to prevent the previous incident from happening again …

Roger simply recalled all his underlings.

His extraordinary perception was fully activated.

He was carrying the black coffin and the Will-O-Wisp on his back alone.

He began to run through the thick fog of the southern Cemetery.

Ten days later.

In the middle of the autumn stream corridor.

In the familiar underground camp.

The macho man's underling, who had a sense of crisis, was working hard.

Meanwhile, on the plain six kilometers away.

Roger was sitting on a tall peach tree, waiting for something quietly.

Not far from the Beardo tree.

It was a human farm that occupied a large area.

The farm had okra, onions, carrots, and corn.

All the plants were growing well.

when things are over, I can buy some corn and okra from the farm owner.

Roger yawned, feeling a little bored.

After 10 days of investigation and weighing …

He finally confirmed the location of the temporary camp.

There were not only traces of ” berserk thorns ” in the vicinity, but also a large number of human farms scattered around.

The goal of the promotion mission was the ” withering cult.

Roger currently lacked information on this cult, so he needed to find someone to ask around.

He tried to negotiate with the people in the farm.

However, the other party was very vigilant.

He directly drove Roger away.

Roger wasn't discouraged.

He continued to walk around the area.

Yesterday afternoon.

He saw a man suspected to be a withering cult believer loitering near a farm.

Roger felt a strong sense of malice from him.

Therefore, he decided to just wait here.

“It's almost here, right?”

He thought.

In the thick fog not far away.

As expected, yellow-clothed men appeared one after another.

They swarmed towards the farm in groups!

Upon hearing the commotion.

Six strong men rushed out of the farm.

They had weapons in their hands.

He cursed angrily, ”

“Get lost!”

“You withered worms!”

The yellow-clothed men charged forward without a care.

The two sides soon erupted into an intense battle.

The farm's people were quite strong.

He was able to stop the attack of the group of yellow-clothed people.

But in a corner that they didn't notice.

Another group of yellow-clothed people quietly appeared at the edge of the thick fog.

They crept quietly to the backyard of the farm.

Roger saw it clearly.

Behind the thin wall, there were two little boys holding short swords. They were so nervous that they were trembling.

The next second.

He silently jumped down from the walnut tree and ran toward the back of the farm!

Outside the wall.

A large group of yellow-clothed men began to RAM their bodies against the thin wooden door.

However, at the edge of the area that they had not noticed.

An ice-cold light flashed.

The head of a yellow-clothed man suddenly slid down his neck and fell to the ground.
