Chapter 122: Tentacles Are Not Always Handsome
Byron flicked his lips at Thor again and motioned him to walk in front.
But Thor hesitated for a second and finally refused.
"Senior, I also have a way to get down." He raised his hand and tapped the back of his neck.
A thin black tentacle extended from the back of Thor's neck.
The tentacle grew longer and longer, stretching to three or four meters, twisting around Thor happily.
Xiaozao has been feeling very depressed these days.
It turned to Thor and shook it slightly, splitting one tentacle into two. With another shake, the two split into four.
Four tentacles waved in the air, and then turned into sharp swords and pierced into the ground.
He stretched it harder and lifted Thor up.
Byron stared at the tentacles, his lightbulb-like eyes flickering slightly, "Hmm?"
"Senior, do you know this?"
"Um."
Thor sighed, "Let's go down and talk about it."
"Um."
Byron took one last look at the tentacle, moved to the side of the hole, lowered his head, and floated down.
Thor also ordered Xiaozao to take him down.
However, since there was no place for his body to connect, he could only sway in the air as Xiaozao moved.
The tentacles of the algae kept inserting into the surrounding mountain walls alternately and very quickly, but sometimes you had to be careful not to knock Thor into the wall of the cave.
Thor was swaying back and forth, feeling like a roast duck hanging in a hanging oven, and not as handsome as he thought.
But after all, he is better than Senior Byron.
Ten minutes later, he fell to the ground covered in dust and helpless, just in time to see Wright trying hard to hold back his laughter as he helped Byron untie the knot on his mouth.
After going deep underground, the space for activities is much more spacious than on the ground.
At least all of them can walk upright.
Bill stood aside and was on guard. Now that they were deep underground, they might encounter enemies and monsters at any time. They could no longer relax like they did on the ground.
But when he saw Thor being brought down by several black tentacles, he couldn't help but be distracted and look at him a few more times.
Light was the last one to see Thor's new look. He was so shocked that he gave up on Byron and ran to Thor, "You, are those the tentacles of the Soul Devouring Swamp on you?"
Wright couldn't help but reach out to touch those black tentacles, but Xiaozao immediately retracted his hand to the back of Thor's neck when Wright reached out his hand, looking very disgusted.
Wright failed to touch Xiao Zao, and the disappointment on his face was visible to the naked eye. He even turned around and asked Thor, "Did you pick this up in the abandoned laboratory under the tower?"
"yes."
The abandoned laboratory was no secret, Thor nodded in acknowledgement.
Although Xiaozao ran out with him on her own, she didn't pick it up.
"But I've been there several times, and the Soul Devouring Swamp never leaves the abandoned laboratory. How did you transplant it into your body? Can you sell me the method? I can give you 50, no, 60 credits!"
Although Thor is very tempted by the credits, but...
"My method requires the Soul Devourer Swamp to get close to you. Senior Light, when you go to the abandoned laboratory, will the Soul Devourer Swamp take the initiative to get close to you?"
Thor's words instantly made Light's excitement disappear.
"No, it doesn't like me." The light in Wright's eyes dimmed, "It just wants to roll me to death."
Bill, who was originally somewhat tempted, temporarily gave up his interest in the Soul-Devouring Swamp after hearing the conversation between the two.
Suddenly, the ground beneath Thor's feet was pushed open by something. The ground cracked open, and a fleshy, worm-like creature rushed out, opened its big round mouth, and bit Thor.
Thor immediately jumped back and stuck to the wall of the cave. He waved his hands quickly and was about to throw out to attack the undead, but he saw a purple smoke wrapping around the fleshworm that was crawling out of the ground.
After being surrounded by purple, the insect quickly fell back to the ground and lay motionless.
Bill sucked the purple smoke back into his mouth, revealing the flesh worms on the ground that had turned pale purple.
"You need to learn how to cast spells in combat as soon as possible." Bill raised his lips habitually, "The enemy won't always give you time to chant spells and perform hand gestures."
On the other side, Wright had already stepped forward to examine the thing that Bill had killed. "It's a burrow worm."
Saul didn't take Bill's words to heart, he also leaned over to take a look.
He had heard of burrowworms, which were creatures that lived deep underground.
Although the word "insect" is in their name, their biological form is more like plants. Their digestive organs and skin are the favorite experimental materials of apprentices.
It was only after Wright enthusiastically dug out all the burrowworms from under the ground that Thor discovered that these guys, which were supposed to be gray-brown, had turned purple-brown.
"Oh! Bill, you have to stop your habit of poisoning people." Wright picked up the bugs on the ground with a metal rod, "Look, this is useless."
Bill curled his lips, "Then you have to be faster next time."
When Thor heard that the crypt worms could no longer be used, he was a little disappointed, but he didn't show it, thinking that he would definitely encounter them again in the future.
Just then he noticed that Byron, who had somehow regained his normal size, walked up to Wright.
His mouth stretched out again and pressed against the purple-brown skin of the insect.
“Gulp gulp…”
With the sound of boiling water, the insect in Wright's hand quickly returned to its gray-brown color.
"Byron, I really like your little mouth more and more!" Wright exclaimed in surprise.
Bill, on the other hand, was not so happy. He crossed his arms and glanced at Byron. "You should be more careful when you inhale something. I have some toxins in my body, and even I don't have an antidote."
Byron murmured "hmm" softly, not knowing whether he received the warning implied in Bill's words.
Thor didn't care about the mutual probing between the third-level apprentices. As a second-level newcomer, he took the initiative to take over the task of carrying the spoils.
Wright enthusiastically helped Thor to take out the underground burrow worm intact.
This burrow worm is as thick as a forearm and two meters long, which makes it a small one among adult burrow worms.
The big guys live deeper underground.
Thor took out a silk bag from his backpack and shook it gently. The bag opened up and was as tall as a person.
Wright skillfully placed the burrow worm in.
Thor closed the bag again, and the silk pocket immediately shrank to the size of a ball.
This is not space witchcraft, but a compression technology based on magic.
Thor patted his pockets and was in a good mood.
If I can pick up a few more burrow worms today, then this trip underground won’t be a bad harvest.
Everyone continued to move forward with mixed feelings.
They seemed to have entered a platform, and the cave extended almost straight forward without going any deeper underground.
Thor looked around all the way, hoping to pick up some more good stuff. But unfortunately, the underground was generally barren, and it was not like in the game where you could spawn a small monster after walking a few steps.
As a place that has been explored for dozens or even hundreds of years by predecessors, this is normal.
Thor took a deep breath and adjusted his mindset.
However, Byron in front of him suddenly stopped and Thor almost hit him.
Looking over, Thor realized that Bill and Wright were also standing still, with their hands raised and their backs straight.
All in a defensive posture.
Passing through the gap between the three people's bodies, Thor finally saw the reason why they were tense.
Ahead, the road forked for the first time, with three passages in total.
Each channel can accommodate two people passing side by side.
At this time, a number of grayish-white, translucent human-shaped shadows walked out of the middle passage.
They lined up, raised their legs high, put them down gently, and stood on tiptoe, as if they were afraid of waking someone up.
Their upper bodies swayed slightly as they moved, and their heads also moved a little bit.
They don't have arms...
