Chapter 36: The Sacrifice

Hearing that Saul was going to make a deal with him, Pound's face flashed with doubt.

"What else can I trade with you like I am now?"

"I'll help you find Char, and you will arrange for me to meet Beth?"

Pound was stunned.

Kate in the back was also stunned.

Dean Pound, who didn't know that Thor was selling his teammates, could only reply: "You asked me to help you contact Beth?" ”

Thor shrugged his shoulders, "Even though you're acting in pain, you're being able to stand here and Beth manipulate it, right?" I think you should have a way to get in touch with her. ”

Pound gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know why she left me alone, but I can't reach out to her." If you really want to find her, you can go directly out of your body and go to the heart space of the Inverted Tree, she must be there. You're a wizard majoring in dark attributes, so it shouldn't be difficult for you. ”

"It's really not difficult, but give up the home field advantage, go to the heart space of the tree that is completely controlled by Beth, and then face the former third-order wizard and the current third-order demonic creature at the same time? Bet they're still sane enough to come up and kill me? ”

Thor raised his hand and pressed Dean Pound's shoulders, regardless of the pain on his face, "Or you can send a message to Beth as well." I'm going to make a deal with her, and if she wants to, I can help her through the resurrection. ”

Kate in the back can't listen anymore.

He felt that this black-bladed wizard was simply wonderful.

Kate admits that the other party is very powerful, but that's a third-order wizard!

He was ashamed to say that he would help bring Beth back to life.

"Wait, the dean who just baidong said he was a student of Gorsa? Could it be that he could invite Gorsa? ”

Kate doesn't know Thor's identity, but Gorsa's name has resounded throughout the Western Continent in the past hundred years.

There is not a single wizard who has lived here who does not know his strength and domineering.

But this man is also known for not caring about anything.

Even if the wizard of Gorsa Wizard Tower is out in distress and is calculated, he will never stand up for his subordinates.

Can such a person really be invited by a blackblade wizard?

But this black-bladed wizard is not simple, he is simply a profiteer!

In less than half a day, how many people has he made deals?

And he sold his ex-partner Char in a different way, so he really didn't hesitate at all.

Kate originally wanted to follow Thor to find a chance to get some benefits. Now that I think about it, I don't want to.

He may not be able to fight Thor.

With this in mind, the orange cat began to slowly retreat.

The current enemies of Baidong Academy have become two third-order, this is not a battle he should participate in, and it is the best policy to slip away.

Kate's decision was very wise.

Just after he silently withdrew more than ten meters, Thor and Dean Pound suddenly collapsed!

I saw Dean Pound, who had a very painful expression just now, suddenly raised his head, and a hideous smile appeared on his face.

Two slender tendrils poked out of his shoulders and quickly locked onto Thor's arms.

At the same time, in the blink of an eye, branches as thick as pythons grew from the front and left to the left and right of Thor's position.

They were like the bars of a prison that kept Thor and Dean Pound in it.

Pound stared at Thor's face, greed in his eyes for the first time.

"Don't bother, Lord Beth already has a way to resurrect her."

As he spoke, more branches and roots wrapped around Thor's body.

Thor tried to struggle, only to find that the roots were unusually strong, even stronger than those encountered in the upside-down tree.

Not only that, but the moment these branches and roots wrap around Thor's body, they begin to emit a natural scent of grass and trees after rain.

Even with Thor's sense of smell, he almost didn't detect the smell.

"Gas?"

Thor found that the gas would drill into his body if it touched him, and it was clear that holding his breath could not prevent the gas from entering his body.

Seeing that Thor failed to break free several times, the "prison" around him was completely closed, and the "sprout" had begun to work, Pound finally no longer had to disguise.

The wrinkles on his face became deeper textures, and his gray hair and beard grew thicker and longer, exactly like the roots behind him.

His skin turned brown bark, and his eyes, mouth, nose, and other features turned into holes in the tree.

Dean Pound turned out to be a tree man!

Thor sighed, "It turns out that you have long been integrated with the Inverted Tree, no wonder you have so many tendrils attached to your body." But why would you want to help Beth? Aren't you afraid that she will really kill the upside-down tree? You won't survive that way. ”

Pound didn't explain, he was just extremely excited, "Originally, we only wanted to attract some greedy second-order wizards, but we didn't expect to catch such an arrogant new third-order wizard as you, it's really an unexpected joy, Lord Beth will be able to successfully resurrect with you as nourishment!" ”

Thor was about to say something when suddenly a loud explosion caught his attention.

The sound came from outside the closed branch cage, and it was not one, but a dozen or so, and it was continuous.

The loud explosion sounded farther and farther away, and from the inside out, it seemed that a series of explosions occurred centered on the inverted tree.

The sound did not stop for a long time, and the earth shook the mountains, and the power became louder and more terrifying.

Thor can already make up the tragic scenes of the outer city of Archaeological Steward.

Even if he was trapped in a tree branch, he could think of what kind of horrific disaster was happening outside!

He turned back and said in astonishment, "You want to sacrifice to the outer city?" Sacrifice the whole archaeological Steward? ”

Pound only smiled wildly, rejoicing that the plan had gone well, and did not answer Thor's question at all.

Thor sighed, "Huh...... Looks like you're not going to make this deal with me anymore. ”

Suddenly, his expression changed, and his gaze was sharp.

"Salute first and then soldiers, since the talks have collapsed, let's start fighting."

His arms shook, and the branches that had just been wrapped around him hung down loosely as if they had suddenly lost their strength.

The roots that pierced Thor's palms were broken inch by inch, and the residue that fell to the ground looked like they had been highly corroded.

Pound's laughter got stuck in his throat, and his wood-like eyes almost cracked.

Thor looked up again, his face no longer fleshy, and turned into a black skeleton.

"Isn't it mental manipulation and pollution? I'm also good at this. ”

After speaking, a large area of gray tentacles suddenly came out from under his wizard robes, like a peacock opening a screen, and instantly shot into the branches of the upside-down trees around him, and immediately pierced the closed "prison" through holes one by one.

The sunlight shone in and fell on Thor's face, and a trace of black mist instantly appeared in the pillar of light.

For a moment, Thor looked like an emissary from the abyss.

The smile on Pound's face disappeared completely, and large sprouts suddenly appeared on his bark-rough face, and the sprouts quickly grew brown leaves.

The leaves are in pairs, the edges of the leaves are like sharp teeth, and the leaves hit each other between opening and closing, making a metallic impact sound.

A large number of blades then bite Thor and the tentacles around him like mad dogs.

The blade bitten on the tentacle immediately pierced the skin on the surface of the tentacle, but the place where the tentacle was bitten also flowed black liquid, directly corroding the blade.

But more blades then pounced on Thor as well.

The blade that bit on Thor's bone didn't leave the slightest trace on it.

The bones that can withstand the corrosive effects of the Black Tide will not be injured by a few demonic leaves.

But at the same time, Thor is also imprisoned by the attack of the leaves.

Pound breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Thor trapped by him again.

"Although it trapped him, it still couldn't absorb his soul. It's a pity that we can't turn him into a sacrifice to Lord Beth for the time being. However, when Lord Beth completely sacrifices the whole city and fuses the Inverted Tree into a new locator, she will be truly resurrected! When the time comes, this kid will become the first tonic after Lord Beth's resurrection! ”

The smile returned to Pound the Tree Man again.
