I, Sister Succubus

Duncan put on the plate armor that he hadn't worn before, and Karin carefully looked at the equipment of the two of them.

The breastplate worn by Duncan looks old and has many repair marks, but it is wiped clean.

Except for this breastplate, other armors on his body are patchwork.And except for the plate armor gauntlet on the left hand, the other parts are leather armor and chain mail.It does look like the shabby spirit of a declining nobleman.

He had no helmet and wore a wide-brimmed hat on his head.

The lower body wears a mail skirt and leather trousers and a pair of leather boots.This made him look a little out of proportion, and the leather pants wrapped around the buttocks too tightly, which was slightly awkward.

Duncan's weapon was a spear, and a hatchet hung from his waist.

In contrast, Kim is much handsomer.

She was wearing a black and white long skirt with a pleated collar and lace, and she looked very earthy Two-dimensional Gothic maid style.

Around her waist was a leather girdle.On his head, he wears a valkyrie-like feathered forehead.Wearing a pair of knee-high leather boots, her legs are slender and graceful.

Kim holds an umbrella in his hand.The ribs and handle of the umbrella are very thick, and at first glance, there is a sharp sword hidden inside.

Duncan said, "I'll lead the way." He took the lead and walked ahead.

The curved handle of the gold umbrella was hung on the arm, elegantly pinching the corner of the skirt to salute Karin, and then followed to walk side by side with Duncan.

Karin followed behind them, and Nina was in charge of guarding the rear.The four of them walked into the Cicada Forest...

The trees in the Cicada Forest are tall and straight, and most of them are towering trees with light gray trunks and purple leaves.

Compared with the white dry red crown vegetation in the sunny area, the color of the trees here has changed significantly.White turns gray, red turns purple, probably a gradation that occurs as the daylight hours decrease?

Because the tall trees are tall and towering, the canopy is densely layered, so the trees here are not particularly dense.This also gave room for some other plants to grow.

Red and white sun-loving shrubs grow in the open space among the forests.Under the shade of the trees are shade-loving plants that are purple, yellow and green.

All kinds of climbing vines hang all over the treetops, like silk and satin.Fungi, mosses and parasitic plants of various colors and eccentricities also cover the trunks.

Because of the rich variety of plants, various flowers bloom all over the forest.Most of them are purple, yellow and white, with sporadic red.

With so many flowers, it's no wonder that honey is produced here...

At this time, Karin's attention was all focused on the dark rose above her head.It was her extra sixth sense that was picking up too many voices at this time.

From the buzzing and fluttering of insects to the rustling of small animals in the bushes, even the rustling of leaves blown by the wind, and the whispers of brave men in the distance...all these sounds were packed into Karin's voice. The brain tells her to fill up.

However, although True Sight of Darkness strengthened Karin's senses, it did not strengthen her brain's information processing ability.

Therefore, it is also very difficult for Karin to filter useful information from the complicated information.So she walked very slowly.

The crowd slowly pushed forward in the forest, sometimes startling snake-like creatures flying from the bushes to the canopy, and sometimes almost stepping on huge multi-legged slugs crossing the forest path.

Suddenly, Karin signaled everyone to stop...

Duncan leaned over and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter, Miss Karin? What did you find?"

"Everyone squat down." Karin made gestures while concentrating on sorting out the information.A humming and flapping sound seemed to be getting clearer.

She whispered, "There are bees...not too far away from us."

"I didn't see it." Duncan looked around, "Do you have a sixth sense? Or are you a sensitive and vulnerable woman?"

Just when Duncan was teasing, Jin exclaimed "Ah!"

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to her.I saw her covering her mouth, her eyes widened in horror, and she was looking up... Even though she was wearing a lace collar, there was still a layer of goosebumps visible to the naked eye on her snow-white neck.

Karin looked in the direction she was looking at, only to see a huge beehive hanging high on a thick branch.A group of cicada-sized bees densely covered the surface of the hive, and some flew around the hive.

However, when Karin took a closer look, she was also taken aback!

That hive is actually a person...

A light yellow thread that was many times thicker than a spider's thread wrapped around the person's body and hung her upside down on the branch.

The man had a bloated abdomen, and his mouth was the main exit of the hive, with bees constantly coming in and out.

Perhaps in order to keep the mouth of the nest master's entrance and exit open, there are silk threads tied and pulled around the mouth and chin.

The victim's body looked "fresh" but he could no longer see the slightest ability to think. He felt that even if he was alive, he was still a zombie.

The bees obviously sensed that there were people below, so they buzzed out a group.

They circled above Karin and the others but kept their distance and did not come down to attack.Karin and the others also remained calm and did not irritate the bee colony.

Finally, after hovering for a while, these terrifying spear cicadas finally flew back to their nests.Karin and the others also left cautiously and lightly.

It seems that Duncan's insect repellent really works!

After leaving the hive area, the four of Karin became more cautious.

Duncan said with a puzzled look on his face, "You actually use people to make beehives, and pour all the honey into people's bodies? I don't want this kind of honey."

While speaking, another scream came from the distant forest.Several people stopped and lowered their bodies again.

Karin uses Dark Sight to observe the source of the sound.

Chapter 47 Taking advantage of the fire

Through the vision opened by the dark true sight, Karin saw what happened not far away.

I saw a brave man fell to the ground, as if he had tripped over something.And the brave man beside him looked at the thing that tripped his companion, and screamed in horror at the same time.

It was a human head...

The whole body is buried in the soil, only the head is exposed.But the mouth of the exposed human head was open... a large number of spear cicadas swarmed out of the mouth.Unexpectedly, they still have populations of Scolia habits.

It all happened so suddenly and so horribly.If these brave men listened to Cassandra's earnest dissuasion, they might be able to imagine the ferocious habits of the spear cicada bee.

Although they collect honey, they have the same reproductive characteristics as clay pot wasps.It captures prey with paralytic toxin and lays eggs on it.On the other hand, the first stage of the wasp larvae is meat-eating, so it will drill and bite the prey that is the hive from the inside to be riddled with holes.

Perhaps the brave men also tried to imagine what a terrifying sight it was, but they were all dumbfounded when they actually saw a head buried in the ground opening its mouth and spitting out a swarm of bees.

It wasn't until the tail stings of the bee swarm were shot out like a harpoon and pierced into the brave man's body that they remembered to scramble, and screamed into the woods.

Not to mention that Karin is not the Holy Mother, even if these people are directly sprayed with insect repellent, it may not be able to withstand the anger of the bee swarm.After all, they kicked directly into the "hive".

It seems that the bee mines in a certain survival game are not so outrageous, and similar traps in a different world are even more deadly.

However, as soon as these unlucky people fled in all directions, a few brave men who covered themselves tightly from head to toe came out of the nearby bushes.

They didn't know that something was lit and there was a strong smoke, and then they put the smokey burning thing directly into the mouth of the "hive" and fanned it vigorously.At the same time, he swung his shovel and hoe and began to dig people...

It didn't take long for these brave men who were more prepared to dig out the thing that didn't know whether it should be called a human or a hive, and then tied the "hive man" to a wooden pole, carried it and ran outside.

The "nest man" was still emitting thick smoke from his mouth and nose, and even if the trapped bees climbed out from other outlets such as ears, they were dying and unable to attack at all.

Spear cicadas are big but relatively small in number in a nest.Some of the unlucky guys led away, and those who stayed behind were fainted by the smoke, so it was really successful to be stolen by these brave men who took advantage of the fire and came prepared...

This nest full of honeydew and bee pupae will probably make them a lot of money.If they don't know the true value of the bee pupa, then Midona can miss it.

Although Karin is very curious about such a weird and terrifying ecology of another world and the way brave people desperately make money, her goal now is to hurry up and find Beatrice's whereabouts.So she couldn't control what other people did, so she could only continue to search in the forest.

Not long after, Karin discovered another wave of brave men.This time is a bit different, this team of brave men has more than a dozen individuals in total.And they tied up and escorted a little girl.

The little girl was dressed in white but was already dirty.Her face was red and swollen from the beating, and she looked a little depressed.His whole body was tied up and his mouth was stuffed so he couldn't make a sound.

Karin's first reaction was the beekeeper, and she immediately asked Nina, "Is the little girl who saved you dressed in white?"

"That's right!" Nina said, "How do you know?"

Karin: "I... I have a keen sixth sense."

Duncan looked at Karin and said, "Isn't this something you can know by feeling?"

Karin: "Stop asking so many questions, come with me!"

After all, she led Nina and others to stop the group of brave men...

Nina frowned immediately when she saw the little girl, "It was her, she was the one who saved me. These beasts~~~~" Then she drew out the long knife at her waist and angrily said, "What did you beasts do? Let that girl go!"

Karin felt that this team of brave men might not know the existence of the beekeeper, because the message was only found in the Dawn Church.Even if the villagers had heard about it, these foreign brave men probably didn't know about it.

A curly-haired brave man at the head said with a sneer: "Hehe, I never thought that the nuns and ladies would also plan to enter the forest to make a fortune."

Karin wanted to take the little girl but she didn't want to take too much time and take a big risk.After all, whether Beatrice is in the Cicada Forest is just a guess.

So she pressed Nina's hand holding the long knife, walked forward and said to the brave men solemnly: "May I ask what mistake this child made? Why do you treat her like this?"

The curly-haired brave man smiled and said, "We saw her running around in the forest alone, so we kindly took her with us."

His attitude also angered Jin, and Duncan on the side also held Jin's hand to make her calm down.

From the words of this curly-haired brave man, it is impossible to tell whether he knows about the beekeeper, but it is not certain whether he deliberately concealed it.

So Karin continued to test, and she said seriously: "I don't think this child should be treated like this even if she has made some mistakes or offended you. In the name of Holy Light, please let her go?"

When Karin said these words, her depravity value had grown to more than half of the second level.Now she can naturally seize the advantage in dealing with people in the name of Holy Light and as a nun, but in doing so, she has been increasing her depravity value.The dark "purification" is also approaching her step by step.

However, the name of the Holy Light seems to be ineffective this time...

The curly-haired brave man laughed loudly, and at the same time, other accomplices quickly surrounded the four of Karin.

"Miss nun, I think your perception of this world is somewhat biased."

"What do you mean?" Karin looked at these malicious brave men vigilantly.

The curly-haired hero continued: "Others avoid the damn sun and hide in the shadows. But you like to stay in the sun."

"Then hide in the sun and don't enter the darkness! The darkness I'm talking about is a broader concept. For example, this forest is darkness... not because of poor light, but because of the laws of the kingdom and the law of the Holy Light." Judgment can't touch here. You can't show your prestige here either."

"That's why I said that your perception of this world is biased. The nuns in the light cannot understand the dark real world under the shadow of the holy light."

Hearing him keep talking about the darkness of this world, Karin almost wanted to laugh.But he said that darkness is a broader concept, which Karin agrees with.

She pretended to be nervous and asked, "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

"Hehehe!" The curly-haired brave man laughed again, "Who could bring this guy to such a place? We are all desperadoes."

"Desperadoes dare to do anything. The more people there are, the more courageous they are! We really want the honey and bee pupae in the forest, but we don't need to bring hoes and shovels, as long as there are more people, just grab them!"

"As for you..." The curly-haired brave man looked Karin up and down with greed in his eyes, "I'm sure you are worth more than this little girl in the slave market."

Now Karin knew what these guys were for.Compared with brave men, they are pure robbers and bandits.There are people who rob money and people who kidnap people.

And through this guy's judgment on the "value" of the little girl and Karin, Karin is convinced that they don't know the existence of beekeepers, and they entered the Cicada Forest just to take advantage of the fire.

Chapter 48 The Right Way to Charm

As soon as the curly-haired brave man said this, it could be said that he had no idea.Duncan and Jin immediately took a step forward, while Nina turned around and confronted the bandits surrounded behind her.The three stood in a triangle, protecting Karin in the middle.

Karin is more confident in Nina's combat effectiveness, and also wants to test the strength of Duncan and Jin.But she has neither the time nor the risk of losing combat power right now.

The experience of playing games in the past gave Karin a clear understanding of the current situation.A team has to challenge multiple dungeons or bosses in a row, such as the Cicada Forest, the Wolf Forest, and even Jenny’s Farm and the Village Chief’s House of Rotten Leaf Lake.

In this process, there has basically been no personnel replenishment.Although Karin herself can breastfeed, if she encounters serious injuries, disabilities, or immediate death, her healing mantras may not be able to do anything.

Continuous fighting and exploration, as well as physical and mental DEBUFF stacks will continue to consume the team members, and it is likely that the team will not be able to meet the challenge in a full state.

Once this causes attrition, the entire team may quickly collapse and be wiped out.This is often the case in a typical dark dungeon.

So Karin must overcome every difficulty with the least cost and be absolutely cautious.

Now such big moves as Heart of Thorns and Succubus Transformation are not suitable for use, and Karin doesn't want to expose her true identity too early.

Then if you want to fight as a nun, it is very unwise for four people to fight against a dozen robbers.It is best to charm one to cause their internal strife, and then take the opportunity to launch a strong attack and take it away.

However, Karin found that the highest success rate of these robbers' charm was only 50%, which made her very confused.Could it be that his majestic succubus is not attractive to bandits and traffickers?

Or is the current situation unfavorable?There are a large number of these people with their swords out of their sheaths, and they think they are sure of victory.It must be more difficult to change their position by charm.

In other words, is it the swords in their hands and the fighting spirit in their hearts that increase the chances of these robbers resisting the charm?So if disarming them and fighting spirit can increase the success rate of charm, right?But if you can do this easily, you don't need to be charmed, right?

what else can we do?

After thinking over and over again, Karin suddenly had a flash of inspiration...By the way, is it effective to reverse the operation?So she pressed Duncan and Jin's shoulders and said, "I will do everything from now on! Don't act rashly."

After she finished speaking, she took a step forward and asked the brave man, "What do you really want?"

"Don't you understand, Miss Nun?" said the curly-haired hero, "Be obedient and let him be our trophy, so that you can suffer less."

Karin immediately pretended to be terrified, "You, are you going to kidnap us? No! You can't do this! The Holy Light will not allow it. The Holy Light will not forgive you for such a crime."

"Holy Light? Hahahaha! Then you can pray to the Holy Light to save you!" The curly-haired brave man laughed, and the others around him also laughed.
