Chapter 34: The Battle of the Waterways
In a big city like Archaeology, if the infrastructure is not laid enough, it must be very painful to live here.
Fortunately, the owners of the city still pay more attention to these invisible building facilities.
When Thor and Julie enter the underground waters, they immediately see witchcraft props used in the main pipes for diversion and filtration.
On one side is clear water, and on the other side is a quagmire.
"It should be this way." Julie said, pointing to the pipe flowing with clear water.
Thor nodded, and he saw black particles of what appeared to be soot near the clear water pipe.
Saul and Julie were followed by two members of the guard.
They hold a straight canister in their hands, and the light has a certain effect on the evil spirits. The two of them did not come down to fight, but played an auxiliary role.
One of the team members held a teleport, and after a pause, he looked up and said to the two of them, "My lord, the water valves along this main road have been closed, and the purification facilities have been opened. ”
Thor had read the Guidebook and knew that the purification facility was not a water purification device, but a witchcraft tool to prevent pollution from pouring down the water into the superstructure.
Although this prop can only solve the simple problem of pollution transmission, it is already a fairly reassuring facility for the residents living upstairs.
Julie tilted her head at Thor, "Let's go." ”
As soon as the words fell, Julie's fair skin really shone brightly. When she jumped off the pipe, it floated on the surface of the water like a colorful soap bubble.
Thor jumped down, and seven or eight black tentacle-like vines suddenly grew out of the back of his neck, stretching in all directions, directly hanging the person in the air.
Xiaozao is like a big spider, crawling forward with multiple legs, relying on the advantage of long legs, the speed is extremely fast, and it didn't take long to catch up with Julie who set off first.
Julie felt the shadow behind her and looked back, "Wow! Every time I act with a wizard who majored in dark attributes, I can't tell who is the evil spirit to hunt. ”
Thor said in his heart, "You haven't seen me transform yet." ”
The two of them ran wildly, and finally found the evil spirit before the pipe was about to merge into the underground cistern.
The evil spirit is a woman in blue-black overalls, with long hair scattered from behind, which is very feminine.
And she was holding the head of a man in the palm of her hand, and the two men were whispering, listening to the content as if discussing what to eat for the night.
Seeing the man's head, Thor whispered in some surprise, "Is it him?" ”
Although it had been a few days, Saul recognized the agent who introduced him to the house.
I didn't expect to meet again, and the other party changed so much.
When Saul observed the intermediary John, Julie had already put one foot on the water and rushed straight out.
The evil spirit, who was talking to her boyfriend, finally noticed the movement behind her, and when she turned around, the expression on her face changed from sweet to hideous in an instant, as if she was blaming Julie for disturbing the two-person world of the two.
The woman's mouth opened wide for a moment, and her mouth was hollow, with only a red twisted tongue remaining.
A dazzling ball of light instantly condensed into Julie's palm, and she threw it directly at the evil spirit.
The ball of light emitted an even more dazzling light in mid-air. The light fell on the evil spirit, and it roasted her body to the point of black smoke.
The evil spirit immediately covered his face uncomfortably, and the man's head, which was originally in the palm of his hand, fell into the water with a "poof".
As soon as Thor wanted to go over and help, he heard Julie shout, "That man has a problem too, you go after him!" ”
The first time he did the mission, Thor didn't force his way out, since Julie asked him to chase the man, he must have the confidence to solve this woman's evil spirit alone.
Thor immediately raised the algae to a higher level, and when he looked at the surface of the water, he soon noticed a strange ripple in the water.
He swooped down, ready to fish the head out.
Saul originally thought that John's head was following the crowd, but when he got closer, he realized that this guy was actually paddling seriously.
At the hideous cut in his neck, thin feet like centipedes grew, and they were thrashing desperately in the water.
It looks like he wants to run into the deep pool.
But swimming is not as fast as flying, Thor soared directly, and a black tentacle drilled below the surface of the water.
As soon as the algae entered the water, they opened their mouths and went straight to the human head, without worrying about refraction at all.
But at this moment, several black shadows that twisted like ghost claws suddenly grew under the human head, breaking through the underwater resistance and quickly approaching the small algae.
"And evil spirits?" Thor immediately withdrew the algae, and pushed the other palm into the water, with similar tentacles sticking out of the palm, but this time the tentacles were light gray and translucent.
However, when his tentacles were the first to touch those ghost claws, they drilled directly through them.
"Not an evil spirit? Not even a spirit? So he raised his eyebrows, the direction of the tentacles remained the same, still reaching for the human head, and those ghost claws suddenly stretched out a few sharp nails, and fiercely grabbed Thor's translucent soul fishing.
The ghost claw, which had just been unable to stop the soul fishing, directly grabbed several five or six centimeter-deep cracks in the gray translucent tentacle this time.
Nearly rip Thor's tentacles apart.
"Instantly switch between material attacks and spirit attacks? What kind of creature is this? Thor was immediately alert, and a black touch of abuse instantly took the place of the soul fisher.
Ghost Claw continued to grapple at Thor's tentacles, only to smoke from the corrosive damage attached to the Cruelty Touch.
"If matter and spirit are transformed, so will I."
Ever since discovering that soul fishing is being targeted by Gudo's soul toxins, Thor has taken advantage of this period of tranquility to develop a small technique.
That is to let the soul fishing be used as an abusive place the moment it is targeted, and to take the attack instead of it.
Soul fishing is essentially an extension of Thor's spirit, and naturally it can also perform sorcery.
At the same time, a burst of destructive force also eroded along the ghost claws towards their bodies.
However, it didn't take long for the corrosive power of pain to enter the ghost's claws and vanished, never to return.
Thor frowned, "This thing is big. ”
Thor ventured closer to the water, only to discover that the ghost claws were not the hands of evil spirits or monsters, but something resembling a twig, nay, a tree root.
Tree?
Thor rose sharply, his back pressed directly against the top wall of the pipe. The second he left the water, a knotted tree root pierced the water.
The rough taproot is supported by a few tiny grayish-white roots.
Like a human hand, he grabbed two handfuls in the air and slowly retracted back to the surface.
At the same time, the diary, which had not been touched for a long time, suddenly opened.
[New Year's Calendar, 317 July, July 15,
You met a hospitable host,
He would like to invite you to his residence.
You're careless,
was taken away by him a little,
From now on
You will gradually go from being a guest to a slave.
】
It's a crisis warning!
It's written so clearly that it can't be taken away by him...... Well? Crumb?
Thor suddenly made a forward move, and the whole person shifted ten meters to the bottom of the water pipe in front of him.
When I looked back, I saw several slender and slender roots sticking out from the cracks in the pipes above.
The roots are clawed, and it seems to want to grab Thor.
"The pipes are full of tree roots, why don't they leak?" In addition to being nervous, Thor was in the mood to complain.
He began to move around with the help of flying and algae, and the gray roots of the trees kept piercing the water pipes and grabbing at Thor.
Soon the pipes were covered with gray-white roots and small black algae.
Although the split body of the small algae can easily be pierced and torn by the gray-white roots, when these black vines become more and more numerous and entangled, even the strongest roots cannot easily break free from the shackles of the small algae.
Thor took the opportunity to get out of the gap reserved by the algae, while he was clutching a wet human head in his hand.
It was John's head.
At this time, the insect feet growing from the wound under the human head were still shaking, as if they wanted to climb up Thor's arm, but Thor directly burned these insect feet into ashes with a small fireball, and also sealed John's wounds.
Despite being chased by the roots of the tree, Thor has not forgotten his mission.
He glanced at the vines and roots behind him that seemed to be wrapped into a ball of yarn, and decisively ordered Xiaozao to cut off the split, and ran away with John's hair!
