Chapter 13: The Siege of the Phantom
update icon Updated at 2025/2/8 2:10:12

"What is the concept of a hundred succubi? It's no less than the spiritual pollution of doge," I said, recalling my first encounter with a group of succubi.

As our journey continues, I gradually understand how important territory is for monsters. Especially for humans who invade their territory, they are almost always cautious. This way of thinking is actually quite normal. If I woke up one morning and suddenly found a stranger in my house, I would definitely think that a robber or thief had entered.

The principle of territoriality is essential for any cultured creature.

By leaving the vampire's territory as soon as possible, we have come closer to Mountain Dotch. Following the established route, we will pass Cold Creek and our little cave. But there is still at least five days of travel ahead, as we are currently in the north of Mountain Dotch.

Most of the journey is boring. I don't know if the monsters have squeezed the living environment of the wildlife, but we haven't encountered any large carnivorous animals. The forest is mostly populated by small squirrels with mushroom-shaped tails, birds of various colors, and small animals that scurry around like yellow rats. The largest animal we have seen recently is a species of short-horned deer, and we only spotted it at night.

These deer have very short antlers, only a few centimeters long. Their short antlers emit a white glow at night, and since they are social animals, they appear like a group of fireflies flying around from a distance.

My wife caught one of them, but the taste of deer meat is not as good as rabbit meat. Moreover, these deer are quite difficult to catch as they often change direction suddenly while running. We can only rely on accurately shooting arrows with magic to catch them.

Unfortunately, food is scarce during the journey, so we catch a couple of these "glow deer" as food reserves.

Additionally, it is really difficult to take care of Little Ao. The carrion monster needs to be kept moist. If it is not moisturized for several consecutive days, its skin will become dry and shed green powdery substance with a sour smell. It stays still like a dead body and needs water to become lively again. This makes the already limited drinking water resources even more scarce.

Little Ao's appetite seems endless. No matter how much food we feed it, it seems to dissolve it and its size increases... So I decided to stop feeding Little Ao.

If the map is correct, we will enter the succubi's territory today. Because I have had contact with succubi before, I am not worried about communication issues. The only thing that worries me is that the vampire's territory is adjacent to the succubi's, and Medusa's territory overlaps with the succubi's.

With an uneasy heart, it seems like the presence of the succubi is getting closer to me.

The dusk before nightfall is equivalent to the yellow flashing light on a crane tower, clearly indicating that the imminent danger ahead could be a matter of life and death.

"Hehe~"

Finally, the laughter of a woman resonated. It seems like the face-to-face negotiation with the succubi is about to begin, although I can't see any succubi in my sight. My wife, on the other hand, had no reaction to the laughter and continued to leisurely organize the tent.

What's going on? Is it only me who can hear this laughter?

"Darling, did you hear any sound?"

"Hmm? No, I didn't."

After receiving a negative response from my wife, I became even more puzzled. I looked around the forest under the setting sun. The trees were not growing hands and feet, nor did they transform into human throats like the carrion monster. So where is this sound coming from...

"Heehee~"

The woman's coquettish laughter resonated in my mind. The sound seemed to come not from my ears, but directly through bone conduction to my auditory nerves, hollow yet exceptionally clear.

Is this the charm magic? It seems too uncanny.

Taking off my glasses, rubbing my face, scratching my head, picking my ears, stomping my feet, and even pinching my arm, the laughter kept coming... I need a cigarette.

Opening a new pack of cigarettes, I forcefully tried to calm my chaotic mind and took two big puffs.

It was useless. Even the things that usually help me regain my composure were useless. I noticed that the hand holding the cigarette began to tremble slightly. My hand never shakes when I smoke, unless I encounter something terrifying that I absolutely cannot solve.

"Wife... look at me..."

"Prepare the bow and arrows..."

I posed as if drawing a bow and pointed to the surroundings.

My wife momentarily showed a panicked expression but quickly understood. She immediately drew her bow and silently moved a few steps behind me. Little Ao also seemed to sense something and continuously absorbed the air, swelling into a huge green balloon and rolled over to my wife's side.

After being enchanted, humans actually retain their clear thinking, but their actions are completely driven by curiosity. It's like knowing that what's in front of you is a pile of shit, but you can't help but want to taste it and see what it tastes like.

The laughter of a woman echoed in my mind and converged in one direction, like a sudden signpost appearing on my forehead, locking all the thought pathways onto the signpost.

With a hundred times the pulling force of a big cow, it pulled me forward with each step.

"Calm down, Lao Chen, you're the strategist of our Business Department."

"Wu Ge, you always come up with the best solutions to our problems."

"Lao Wu, you're the one who helped us overturn the school's internship regulations, the tyrant's clauses!"

Apologies to my university brothers, it seems that Wu Ge is going to fall in another world today. As the "strategist of the Business Department", I'm also going to be led by the nose.

The ring and crest are useless, and I can't even calculate how many steps I've taken.

When I stopped, the first thing I did was turn around to see if my wife was still there. Hmm, the bow and arrow in Medusa's hand reassured me a lot, and little Ao kept circling around my wife, probably to protect her as well.

"Hey~~ look ahead when you walk~"

Suddenly turning my head, I bumped my nose against something.

The face of the succubus was already pressed against mine, her warm palm covering my chest, her wet tongue licking from my chin to my ear. With a gentle inhale, I could smell the succubus' unique fragrance.

Even in this situation, I could still raise my right hand to signal my wife to start attacking. At the same time, I quickly retreated to my wife's side and joined little Ao in building a front line. But the enchantment was still in effect, and I wasn't sure if I could decisively open fire.

"Oh? This is... quite strange~"

The succubus in a red and black dress shook her wings, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"We... don't mean any harm..."

It's useless to say that to the succubus, because she obviously didn't listen and took a few steps closer on her own.

"Oh dear, Medusa? I remember, didn't we agree about men before?"

"What's happening today, it's rare to have such good prey..."

Miss Succubus took out a small fan and kept opening and closing it in her hand, seemingly contemplating something.

"This is my husband."

"Oh? Your husband? So what? I can take him away in front of you~"

The succubus was clearly even more unreasonable than a vampire...

My wife chose to take the initiative. Without any warning, petrification magic began. Accompanied by my wife's piercing screams, a large area of white light radiated, forcing me to cover my eyes with my hand.

As long as the petrification is successful...

The wings in front of the succubus closed like an iron fortress, blocking the magic that we had as our trump card.

There's still one arrow left, the wings can't block a close-range magic accelerated arrow!

"Bang!"

Before Medusa's arrow was shot, I actually heard a gunshot!

My wife's arrow missed.

The things in my eyes are becoming more and more beyond my comprehension. Succubus shooting rifles in a crouching position on tree branches, succubus attacking with rifles equipped with bayonets, and succubus aiming with bows and arrows. In short, the trees and the ground are filled with succubus in various outfits...

Among them, the only crimson color is the gunshot wound on my wife's waist.

Perhaps Medusa couldn't sense the succubus, which is why she was ambushed.

Her brown tail was pierced by two rifles with bayonets and pinned to the ground, and I could tell from my wife's expression that it was very painful. But my wife still managed to squeeze out a bloody smile, pulling out the machete from her waist.

"Husband... run..."

"Wife!!!"

I pulled out my gun, but all five bullets accurately hit nothing but air. I tried to reach for the axe, but succubus kept laughing and knocking me to the ground, making the distance between me and my wife farther and farther.

Little Ao, too, was forced to shrink back to its original size due to being hit by too many bullets and arrows. My wife kept using the machete to send the succubus flying, her front tail covered in blood. But the number of succubus was something we couldn't possibly defeat, and why are they using flintlock guns invented by humans!

"Please, stop!"

"Please, just stop! I beg you..."

"Do not hurt my wife anymore... I'll do anything... I beg you..."

Tears streamed down my face as I knelt before the succubus in her red and black dress, pleading, hoping to no longer see bullets flying towards my wife, hoping for an end to this siege.

"Hehe, should've said that earlier, then we wouldn't be here like this~"

The succubus grabbed me by the throat and lifted me up, under her cruel command, the attacks ceased. Almost as if to crush my hope, she licked my neck while showing me my wife lying on the ground, barely breathing.

"Now, our fun night is about to begin~"

"Can it all end tomorrow..."

"Tomorrow? Hehehe~ What are you talking about? The fun will only end with your death~"

I was lifted up, embraced by the greedy succubus, her soft breasts pressed against the back of my head, as she uttered cruel words.

...

Guys in the dorm, you haven't seen or heard of what we've been through, these damn women are so vicious. They not only hurt my wife, but also want to play with me. And not just play with me, they want to play me to death.

They're not just ordinary people, they're fucking creatures from the demon realm!
