Druids were a race that was loyal to nature. They were close to nature and had mastered many nature spells. Because of their pure heart, they had even mastered transformation spells. They could transform into many forms such as giant bears, giant tigers, and even giant dragons!
They were often associated with elves. Of course, they did not like dark elves. They preferred pure elves, which represented beauty and gentleness.
The faith of the druids was almost comparable to that of the ascetics. As a result, there was not a single druid in the vast Underdark. However, the Abyss was full of possibilities. It had the ability to corrupt everything. Although he did not know what the druid that Chen Feng summoned had experienced, it was undeniable that it was no longer loyal to nature. Instead, it had become a death scythe that walked in the world.
The druid's eyes were dull. After being summoned, it did not take a single step forward. Not only was the druid affected by the poison, even the druid itself seemed to be affected by the poison. However, Chen Feng did not underestimate it from the beginning. Judging from its aura, this fallen druid had the same power as himself.
An Epic expert!
This was not a rare thing. After paying the price of an Epic corpse and two half-step Epic corpses, if he still could not summon a powerful beast, Chen Feng would feel a trace of doubt.
Chen Feng carefully observed the druid. Soon, he found some clues.
There was a sacred emblem on its chest. It was a purple triangle with three amber teardrops on the background.
Chen Feng began to search from the vast knowledge of the Abyss. After a while, he found the owner of the sacred emblem. It was also at this moment that he finally knew why the druid had become like this!
The fallen druid was loyal to the Goddess of Poison and Disease … Talona!
Talona (Goddess of Poison and Disease)

Residential Area: Destruction and Despair Wasteland

Talona was often described as a haggard old woman with a face full of religious tattoos. Wherever she went, misfortune and suffering would follow. Her heart was like that of a willful and greedy child, but trapped in a shell that had once been beautiful but was now ravaged by disease and age. She often threw tantrums like a child in the hope of attracting other people-but this only left her as lonely as an abandoned woman.
Talona's church had a very strict and clear hierarchy (but it was also divided into several different sects). Other than selling all kinds of poisons, antidotes, and medicine, Talona's priests traveled around Faerun as quietly as possible, constantly looking for new diseases and infections. They also worked hard to spread rumors to increase the reputation of the Lady of Poison.
The believers worked hard day after day in order to gain respect. They hoped that the mortals would respect the Lady of Poison's power to destroy all things and her agents in Faerun.
Throughout their lives, Talona's priests devoted themselves to the study of magic and tried to make themselves immune to all kinds of diseases and poisons. Because of this immunity, they tended to the sick, buried the dead, or were hired to test the food safety of suspicious rulers, rich merchants, and nobles.
If any country or city dared to expel or punish Talona's believers for any reason, Talona's priests would quickly cause a serious plague in the area as the "price of Talona" for such an insult.
According to rumors, some despicable followers of Talona would choose a rich person as their target and infect them with a nasty disease. This way, the church would be able to "receive" the wealth after the target's death. Under the threat of poison and disease, the true and legitimate heir would be helpless.
Talona's priests and druids prayed in the evening to obtain divine power. However, they had to pray to the Goddess three times a day (including the one at dusk). Every twelve days, the church would hold an event (open to outsiders who were not believers of the Goddess). In the event, outsiders were encouraged to pray to the Lady of Poison and make donations to the church in exchange for their or their loved ones' freedom from death, plague, and disease.
Talona was not alone. In the land of the Abyss, she was even a member of a team.
She was a member of the Dark Pantheon and had some like-minded evil companions around her. Of course, those who could be called companions by gods were naturally true gods!
The members of the Dark Pantheon were all a group of evil gods. They hated and hated the good gods. Every once in a while, they would create large-scale disasters to continue the fear of the Dark Pantheon in ordinary creatures.
This was Talona's doctrine.
Pain and pleasure, just like life and death, were relative existences. However, the power of death was far greater than the relative. It should be respected and respected more. Death was a truly great balancing force. It was a fate that everyone had to face sooner or later.
When you could only let others "understand" your thoughts by using a dagger, don't have the slightest doubt. The mother of all plagues existed in everyone's body. Weakening and corroding from the inside was her great power. Whether you were willing to believe or serve her or not, her breath would always be with you.
Talona made all living beings learn to respect her and contribute their wealth to her fanatically and devoutly. As long as they did this, Talona would not take their lives (for the time being).
In addition, the believers had to act in the name of Talona. Whether it was low-key or eye-catching, they had to let the mortals know that all of this was based on the will of the Lady of Poison.
No wonder the druids in front of him had become like this.
The druids who believed in the Goddess of Poison were a group of lunatics. If they loved life as much as they did before they fell, then they hated it as much as they hated it after they fell.
The moment they dedicated their faith to the Lady of Poison, they fell into demons, a chaotic life form comparable to demons.
They were dedicated to destruction and disease. An epic druid was enough to completely destroy an ordinary kingdom because they controlled terrible plagues and infectious diseases.
A powerful summoned beast.
This was Chen Feng's evaluation of the druids.
