"What is this?" Char looked down, not realizing that she had an extra eye in her eyebrows.

Thor handed him a white tooth wrapped in a gray transparent substance.

It looked like the teeth of a beast were wrapped in gray amber.

"It's teeth." Saul replied earnestly.

Char on the other side narrowed his eyes speechlessly, "I can see that." ”

Thor smiled, "You still don't need to know what it is, just know that if you are in a critical situation and there is no other way to save yourself, this thing can cause you and the enemy to suffer great damage at the same time." ”

Char's eyes widened speechlessly, "Then what are you lending it to me for?" Suicide? lest she be controlled by Beth and become her slave? ”

"It's chronic suicide." Thor remained calm, "As long as you win, you can come back to me before you die, and I can save you." If you lose, at least you can avenge yourself. ”

Char looked confused, but still accepted the wrapped tooth.

Later, Thor used the secret language technique to tell Char how to use the teeth.

Char glared at Thor and stopped talking.

Thor patted Char on the back, "Okay......"

The house began to tremble again.

Kate, the orange cat, immediately arched her back and changed to erect after reacting, "Those roots are here again." ”

Char was about to turn into a full moon again, but was stopped by Thor, "Leave us alone, you go straight to where you need to go." Beth is recovering faster and faster, and time is running out for you. ”

"Huh?" The orange cat was stunned for a moment and preemptively asked, "Then what should we do?" ”

"If you can beat it, you can fight, and if you can't beat it, you can run." Saul said indifferently.

"Huh?" Kate's eyes widened.

Char was decisive, "Okay, then take care of yourselves." ”

His figure vanished in an instant, not at all worried about who would decontaminate him if Thor and the orange cat died under the attack of the tree roots.

It seems that suddenly there is a lot more trust in Thor.

After Char left, this already unstable space was immediately invaded by countless thick roots and branches.

As if they had a consciousness of their own, the roots and branches attacked Thor and the orange cat as soon as they broke through the room.

Kate the orange cat nervously prepares to find a gap to fight, but before she can move, Thor grabs her by the back of the neck and lifts her up.

Kate: "? ”

"What are you doing? Put me down! ”

Saul said calmly: "The deal has been made, and there is no need to stay here now." ”

Kate was even more confused, looking at the sharp branches that were about to touch her, and just wanted to cast a spell, but was directly interrupted by Thor's pull.

"Hey !!"

However, in the next second, Kate found that the whole world suddenly stood still.

Broken houses, crumbling stones, roaring roots, sharp spikes......

Everything was quietly in place.

Only the hand behind him is still carrying himself in the air to fight Xuan'er.

"What's going on?"

Then he heard Thor's voice.

"If you want to get out of here, you need to see here." Thor looked around at the world that suddenly came to a standstill because of his mental suppression, "It's like the old manor, if you can't see the road in front of you, you can't find an exit." ”

He carried the orange cat and flew into the air, "Kate, actually, this city ...... It's upside down. ”

Without giving Kate time to understand, Saul closed his eyes.

The moment he closed his eyes, Kate suddenly felt a wave of lightheadedness.

When he got used to the vertigo, he suddenly found that the world had turned upside down.

The gravity was overhead, but he didn't fall to the ground.

"What keeps me from falling?"

Kate looked down, then startled by what she saw.

The reason why he never fell to the top of his head turned out to be that there were many fine roots under his feet, which wrapped around his limbs and torso!

And these tendrils have extremely thin tips, and they are burrowing into his body along the pores of his skin!

"Mom!" Kate immediately struggled, trying to shake off the tangled tendrils.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't tear off the roots on his body.

Just as he was about to try to light the fire, he heard Thor's calm voice again.

"Don't be afraid."

Thor also opened his eyes and saw the roots on his body, he didn't care, he looked up.

Char's house collapsed and fell overhead, and in the midst of the dust, many tall black shadows could be faintly seen standing around.

In the distance, there are many square shadows that appear to be high-rise buildings. There were also a few more slender black shadows like street lamps in the vicinity.

It's as if the two of them had just left the night city and took the initiative to look for them.

Thor waved his hand, and the wind swept away the dust, and the surrounding scenery became clearer.

"Oh my God!" Kate sighed weakly beside her, "Have we always been in this kind of place?" ”

"Yes." Thor was also a little shocked, "It turns out that Beth's sacrifice is like this. ”

Where are the towering buildings around them?

It was a very thick branch that went straight to the sky.

In Saul's eyes, it's like a tall building.

These branches are full of induration like sarcoma.

In the middle of the induration is a human head.

If you look closely, you can see that it is not a human head growing on it, but that the human being is wrapped in the fruit of the tree, and only one head is left outside, hanging weakly on it.

Thor suspected that the shadows they saw in the night, and the pedestrians they saw during the day, were the souls of these people.

Stupid, mechanical.

It is a puppet that is completely controlled by the upside-down tree.

Life and death annihilation can be easily controlled by others with their consciousness.

Unlike the sober Char, these trapped people are probably still living in the busy city full of false hopes.

Until death, and then oblivion.

Thor and Kate had more and more roots on their bodies, and they were getting deeper and deeper into their skin.

"What to do? Will we be like those people? Stuck here forever? Kate's voice trembled.

"Meow." He couldn't help but scream again.

"Now that you can see the road, you can find the exit back."

After Thor finished speaking, the skin on his body suddenly began to fade, revealing the black bones inside.

As the skin vanished, the tendrils wrapped around his body suddenly lost their focus.

Just as the tendrils tried to continue wrapping around Thor's bones forward, several gray tentacles reached out, twisted the tendrils in turn, and twisted them off with a single twist.

There was black smoke pouring out of the port of the roots.

That's the pollution of the inverted tree.

When Thor was a first-order wizard, he used to dare not entangle with the roots because of this pollution, but now he ......

The black viscous liquid is spit out by the suction cups on the tentacles, spraying directly onto the black mist and contaminating the nearby roots.

These black liquids are like piranhas that have suddenly been put into the water, and as soon as they come into contact with the black smoke and roots, they begin to corrode desperately, and spread rapidly, directly emptying the nearby roots.

Kate was carried by Saul, and naturally she was also stained with black liquid.

When it saw the corroded roots, it thought that it would also fall into such a situation, and it was so frightened that it "meowed".

As a result, after screaming for a while, he realized that the black liquid on his body had only corroded the roots of his body, and he had nothing to do.

The branches and roots around them instinctively feared the black liquid released by Thor, and one by one they curled back.

A large number of roots receded, revealing a spot of light not far from Thor's feet.

"There! There! Kate immediately realized that it was the exit from the upside-down tree, "It turned out to be underground all along!" ”

Thor looked up one last time.

There was a black sea of fire, and countless figures struggled in the fire.

Then, he regained his appearance, took Kate, and flew to the point of light.

Passing through a point of light is like traveling to another world.

With a flash of light, Thor and Kate returned to the large stump of a bare, freshly sectioned.
