Boss said if other employers call around that he would tell them about me

My project manager I'm working with is very old school..I complained to him about not wanting to work on a project because I didn't want to be out In the field for 5 weeks and I sent him a teams message saying this sounds miserable and I don't want to do it and he said this type of behavior would get me fired. He then said, our career is a small community (civil engineering) and that if others called around (if I were to apply to new jobs) he could tell them about me. He's basically suggesting I could not get a job elsewhere because he would tell people about my “attitude problem” for not wanting to do a project. I'm pretty sure him saying that is not legal does anyone have any advice
