Chapter 42: The Undead in the Heart of the Tree
It's not the same as the night view city camouflaged by the upside-down tree.
The space in the heart of the tree is a monotonous darkness.
As soon as Thor entered, he felt damp and oppressed.
It was as if someone had been buried alive in the deep underground soil.
But the gentle touch of the inverted tree species quickly relieved his discomfort.
If Thor could devour the tree instead of simply carrying it on his body, he might have liked the feeling of darkness and serenity.
It's a pity that the tree species is for small algae.
After Saul adjusted to this, he looked up and saw Bestana, who was still human with only half of her face left.
That is, the expressionless wizard Beth he had seen in the office of the dean of the Baidong Academy.
At this time, Beth was still expressionless, but she had no other body except for the expressionless face.
Her body had completely turned into branches, and there were many, dense, tiny roots that were dazzling to see.
Some of these roots hang high, some droop straight.
These roots and branches huddle Bethana's head in the center.
"Wizard Thor, when you came to Archaeological City, the Baidong Academy welcomed you warmly and provided you with a lot of help. Now you repay me like this! ”
Bestana's voice didn't rise or fall, but her words were full of anger.
Thor sneered, "Don't pretend, Wizard Bestana. If I were subdued by Dean Pound in the outside world, you would be happy to use me as your nourishment for the maintenance of your spirits, wouldn't you? ”
Thor looked Bestana up and down, left and right, and shook his head suddenly.
"Actually, I came here this time to make a deal with you. But now it seems that you don't even have the basic qualifications to make a deal. ”
Thor drops Bestana directly and flies to Char, who is unconscious.
At this time, Char was holding the teeth of the bone monster that Thor had brought back from the Chaos Realm, which had been contaminated by the radiation on it, and the spirit body began to transform into an evil spirit.
Thor removed the tooth from Char's fingertip and pressed it back into the palm of his left hand, sealing the contamination on it.
Then, his right hand turned into a tentacle again, directly on Char's face, and with a slight stroke of his left hand, Char's head and body were directly separated.
After the head separated, Char's body completely alienated in one breath, turning into a sphere with an uneven surface.
Aside from the color, it really resembles the moon.
But the moon soon began to deform, with undulating surfaces, and finally spikes grew.
A good moon turned out to be covered with the skin of a hedgehog.
Thor soon discovered the "sharp" and "harmful" properties of the unconscious evil spirit.
If an ordinary person or an apprentice wizard accidentally touches this evil spirit, there will be an unhealable wound on his body, and he will bleed in agony until he dies.
However, in front of Thor, who was already a third-order, Char's evil spirits that were partially alienated by his spirit body were not enough to see.
Thor transferred Char's head to his left hand, and then the tentacles in his right hand expanded in an instant, becoming extremely large, directly like an octopus stretching out all its tentacles, opening its mouth wide and swallowing the thorn ball directly.
The sharpness and damage didn't work at all, and it was directly absorbed by the tentacles as jelly.
After ingestion, the spirit and the pollution are split in two within the tentacles.
The spirit spits out again, and the contamination is left at the tip of the tentacle, where it is finally pulled down by Thor and isolated.
Thor re-attaches the clean spirit to Char's neck.
It's just that the clean spirit is like a chewed cake, and it is no longer the same exquisite appearance as it used to be.
Char's body was partially spiritual, and turned into a chaotic lump of ooze.
Thor pinched two handfuls with his hands and found it difficult to restore the original state, so he decided to wait for Char to deal with it himself.
After being treated by Thor, Char's stagnant consciousness finally began to work.
When he opened his eyes again, the first thing that struck a surprise was Bestana behind Thor.
"How did you do that? Completely separated the pollution from the spirits? ”
Thor dragged Char closer to Bestana, secretly vigilant for the other's last resistance.
"I've dealt with the dead a lot, and I've seen a lot of souls. For example, I can see now that your sacrifice did not have the desired effect. ”
The closer Thor got to Bestana, the more he could see that the other party's situation was not normal.
Bethtana blinked, her eyelashes curling like dead branches.
"Yes, it's the tooth you gave Char."
Bethstana's voice remained unwavering, even as she discussed her demise.
"I thought I hadn't been exposed to the contamination on that tooth, and I was laughing at Char's death for being too presumptuous. Unexpectedly, the real stupid person is actually myself. ”
"From the moment this tooth was exposed, it began to secretly exude a contamination that I could not detect and resist!"
Her face was slightly raised, as if she wanted to look at the sky, but there was only darkness above her head, and roots that shook from her movements.
"I sacrificed to the whole city, but with each intake of the spirit, the pollution in my body increased. I could already feel its contamination all over my roots and branches, and the abundance of spiritual power only made me feel extremely weak, as if I had lost all power. ”
Thor freed up a hand and propped his chin on, "You said it in such detail, aren't you stalling for time?" ”
Bestana's eyes widened and she looked at Thor incredulously.
"Don't praise me." Thor waved his hand.
"Hehehe......" Bestana, who had not been in mood swings, suddenly began to laugh, "What if you find out?" I've already closed the space in the heart of the tree, even if you're a third-order, you can't open the cage I formed with my life! Since I can't be resurrected, then you can die here with me! ”
The space in the heart of the tree suddenly brightened, as if it was a moment of switching from night to day.
Around Thor, as far as the eye can see, there are countless branches and roots of trees.
I don't know when, they have spread all over the heart of the tree, forming a cage with no edge in sight.
"Only spirits can enter the space in the heart of the tree, and your body is still outside. No matter how strong you are, your body without a soul can be worn to death by the upside-down tree. After that, you'll be trapped here forever, and after I die, a little bit dissipate! ”
Bethtana seems to have given up on resurrection, and has devoted all her energy to trapping Thor in the space in the heart of the tree.
Thor tried to sense his body, but the dense twigs and roots made the whole space seem to be detached from the world.
Thor didn't see any panic on his face, and after thinking for a moment, he took Char to continue to approach Beth.
The distance between the two is getting closer little by little, ten meters, five meters...... One meter.
Finally, Thor could touch Beth's face with just a lift of his hand.
The only face left.
"Actually, I still have a way to survive." Thor really raised his hand, his fingertips almost touching the other's nose.
"That is to take your place, to be the heart of the inverted tree, to connect with it, to make it my locator. It's like becoming another you. ”
A hint of panic flashed across Bestana's face.
However, before she could refute anything, she saw Thor suddenly bow his head and couldn't help laughing.
"Hehe, hehehe, hahaha......"
"What are you laughing at?"
I laughed...... Your acting skills are really bad! Thor retracted his smile for a moment, "Actually, your real purpose in closing the space in the heart of the tree is to let me take the initiative to replace you as the core of the inverted tree, right?" ”
Bestana was stunned and opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
Thor tilted his head, "Whether you want me to suffer from you all over again, or simply hope that after you die from pollution, I can let the upside-down tree live on your behalf...... Oh, your eyes tell me it's the latter......"
"If that's the case, it's even better." The tip of Thor's right finger suddenly turned into a gray translucent tentacle, "I'll give you a second way." Let's make a deal, shall we? ”
