Chapter 734 Exit
"What is this?" Xia lowered his head and didn't notice that there was an extra eye between his eyebrows.
What Thor handed him was a white tooth covered in a gray transparent substance.
It looks like the teeth of a wild beast wrapped in gray amber.
"It's the teeth." Thor answered seriously.
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 specifically. Just know that if you are in a critical situation and have no other way to save yourself, this thing can cause great harm to both you and the enemy."
Xia's eyes widened in silence again, "Then why did you lend it to me? To commit suicide? To avoid being controlled by Beth and becoming 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 conflicted, but still accepted the wrapped tooth.
Afterwards, Thor used secret language to tell Char how to use the teeth.
Xia stared at Thor, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Thor patted Char on the back, "Okay..."
The house began to shake again.
The orange cat Kate immediately arched her back, then stood upright after realizing what was happening. "Those tree roots are coming again."
Just as Char was about to turn into a full moon again, Thor stopped him, "Don't worry about us, just go where you need to go. Beth is recovering faster and faster, and you don't have much time left."
"Huh?" The orange cat was stunned and asked first, "What should we do then?"
"Fight if you can, run away if you can't." Thor said indifferently.
"Ah?" Kate widened her cat eyes.
Xia Ya was decisive, "Okay, then take care of yourselves."
His figure disappeared in an instant, and he was not at all worried about who would help him decontaminate if Thor and the orange cat died under the attack of the tree roots.
It seemed that he suddenly had a lot more trust in Thor.
After Char left, this originally unstable space was immediately invaded by countless thick tree roots and branches.
These tree roots and branches seemed to have their own consciousness. As soon as they broke through the room, they immediately attacked Thor and the orange cat.
The orange cat Kate was nervously preparing to find a gap to fight, but before she could act, Thor grabbed her by the scruff of the neck and lifted her up.
Kate: “?”
"What are you doing? Put me down now!"
Thor said calmly, "The deal has been made. There is no need to stay here now."
Kate was even more confused. She looked at the sharp branches that were about to touch her. Just as she was about to cast a spell, she was interrupted by Thor's pull.
"Hello!!!"
However, the next second, Kate found that the whole world suddenly stopped.
Broken houses, flying rocks, roaring tree roots, sharp spikes...
Everything stayed quietly where it was.
Only the hands behind him were still holding him up in the air and hitting Xuan'er.
"What's going on?"
Then he heard Thor's voice.
"If you want to leave here, you need to see it clearly." Thor looked around the world that suddenly stopped because of his mental suppression. "Just like the old manor, if you can't see the road in front of you clearly, you can't find the exit."
He carried the orange cat and flew into the air, "Kate, actually, this city... is upside down."
Not giving Kate time to understand, Thor closed his eyes.
The moment he closed his eyes, Kate suddenly felt dizzy.
When he got used to the dizziness, he suddenly found that the world was upside down.
Gravity was pulling him from above, but he didn't fall to the ground.
"What's going to keep me from falling?"
Kate looked down and was shocked by what she saw.
The reason why he didn't fall on his head was that there were many fine roots under his feet, which wrapped around his limbs and torso! And these roots had very fine tips, which were drilling into his body through the pores in his skin! "Oh my god!" Kate struggled immediately, trying to get rid of the roots.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull the roots off his body.
Just as he was about to try to light a fire, he heard Thor's calm voice again.
"Don't be afraid."
Thor also opened his eyes and saw the roots on his body, but he didn't care at all. He looked up and around.
The house built by Char collapsed with a loud bang and fell overhead. Amid the dust, many tall black shadows could be vaguely seen standing around.
There were many square shadows that looked like tall buildings in the distance, and several thin black shadows that looked like street lamps nearby.
It was as if the night city they had just left came looking for them.
Thor raised his hand and waved it. The wind blew away the dust and the scenery around him became clear.
"Oh my God!" Kate sighed helplessly beside me, "Have we always been in this place?"
"Yes." Thor was also a little shocked, "So this is how Beth's sacrifice was made."
The towering buildings around them were not buildings at all. They were just extremely thick branches that stretched straight up to the sky.
In Thor's eyes, it looked like a tall building.
There are hard nodules like tumors growing on these branches.
But in the middle of the nodule there is a human head.
After looking carefully, I found that there was actually no human head growing on it, but the person was wrapped in the fruit of the tree, with only the head left outside, hanging limply on it.
Thor suspected that the shadows they saw at 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 Inverted Tree.
Life, death and annihilation can all 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 hope.
Until death and then being forgotten.
The roots on Sol and Kate's bodies became more and more numerous, penetrating deeper and deeper into their skin.
"What should we do? Will we become like those people? Trapped here forever?" Kate's voice was trembling.
"Meow." He couldn't help but call out again.
"Now that you can see the road clearly, you can find the exit to go back."
After Thor finished speaking, the skin on his body suddenly began to fade away, revealing the black bones underneath.
As the skin disappeared, the roots wrapped around his body suddenly lost their footing.
Just as the roots tried to move forward and continue to wrap around Thor's bones, several gray tentacles stretched out, twisted the roots in turn, and broke them with a slight twist.
Black smoke was pouring out from the end of the roots.
That is the pollution of the inverted tree.
When Thor was still a first-level wizard, he didn't dare to get involved with the roots because of this pollution, but now...
The black viscous liquid was spit out by the suction cups on the tentacles, spraying directly onto the black mist and then onto the nearby roots.
These black liquids were like piranhas that were suddenly thrown into the water. Once they came into contact with the black smoke and roots, they began to corrode them desperately and spread rapidly, directly clearing out all the nearby roots.
Kate was carried by Thor and was naturally stained with the black liquid.
When it saw the corroded roots, it thought it would fall into the same situation and it meowed in fear.
After screaming for a while, he realized that the black liquid on his body had only corroded his roots, and he was not hurt at all.
The surrounding branches and roots instinctively feared the black liquid released by Thor, and they curled up and retreated one by one.
A large number of roots retreated, revealing a spot of light not far from Thor's feet.
"There! There!" Kate immediately realized that was the exit from the inverted tree. "It turns out it has been underground all along!"
Thor looked up one last time.
There was a black sea of fire, with countless figures struggling in it.
Then he restored his appearance and flew towards the light with Kate.
Passing through the light spot is like traveling to another world.
In a flash of light, Thor and Kate returned to the bare tree stump with a very fresh cross-section.
