Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 122

Chapter 122: Tentacles Are Not Always Handsome

Byron flicked his lips at Thor again, motioning him to go ahead.

But Thor hesitated for a second and still refused.

“Senior, I also have a way to go down.” He raised his hand and tapped the back of his neck.

A thin black tentacle stretched out from behind Thor’s neck.

The tentacle grew longer and longer, stretching to three or four meters, twisting happily around Thor.

Xiaozao has been holding it back these days.

It turned to Thor’s side, shook it gently, and a tentacle split into two. Another shake, two split into four.

Four tentacles waved in the air, and then turned into swords and stabbed into the ground.

Then tightened it with force, and directly lifted Thor up.

Byron stared at the tentacles, his lightbulb-like eyes shook slightly, “Hmm?”

“Senior, do you know this?”

“Hmm.”

Thor sighed, “Let’s go down and talk about it.”

“Hmm.”

Byron took a last look at the tentacle, moved to the side of the hole, lowered his head, and floated down.

Thor also directed Xiaozao to take him down.

However, since there was no place for him to catch the hand, his body could only sway in the air as Xiaozao moved.

Xiaozao’s tentacles kept inserting into the surrounding mountain walls alternately, and the speed was also very fast, but sometimes he had to be careful not to bump Thor into the wall of the cave.

Thor swayed and swayed, and felt like a roast duck hanging in a hanging oven, not as handsome as he thought.

But he was better than senior Byron after all.

Ten minutes later, he fell to the ground with a face full of dust and helplessness, just in time to see Wright trying to hold back his laughter and helping Byron untie the knot on his mouth.

After going deep underground, the space for activities here 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 look at him distractedly for a few more times.

Light was the last one to see Thor’s new look. He was so shocked that he gave up Byron and ran to Thor. “You, are those the tentacles of the Soul Devouring Swamp on you?”

Light couldn’t help but reach out to touch those black tentacles, but Xiaozao immediately retracted to the back of Thor’s neck when Light reached out his hand, looking very disgusted.

Light failed to touch Xiaozao, and the disappointment on his face was visible to the n*ked 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 not a secret, Thor nodded in acknowledgement.

Although Xiaozao ran out with him by herself, she didn’t pick it up.

“But I’ve been there a few times, and the Soul Devouring Swamp never leaves the abandoned lab. How did you transplant it to you? Can you sell me the method? I can give you 50, no, 60 credits!”

Although Thor was tempted by the credits, but…

“My method requires the Soul Devouring Swamp to get close to you. Senior Wright, when you go to the abandoned lab, will the Soul Devouring Swamp take the initiative to get close to you?”

Thor’s words instantly made Wright’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 a little moved, heard the conversation between the two and temporarily put aside his interest in the Soul Devouring Swamp.

Suddenly, the ground under Thor’s feet was arched open by something. The ground cracked, and a fleshy worm-like thing rushed out, opened a big round mouth, and bit Thor.

Thor immediately jumped back and stuck to the wall of the cave. He danced his hands quickly, and was about to throw a blow to the undead, but saw a purple smoke wrapped around the flesh worm that was drilling out from the ground.

After being surrounded by purple, the bug quickly fell back to the ground, motionless.

Bill sucked the purple smoke back into his mouth, revealing the fleshy bug on the ground, which had turned pale purple.

“You need to learn combat spells 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 check what Bill had killed, “It’s a crypt worm.”

Thor didn’t take Bill’s words to heart, he also leaned over to take a look.

He had heard of burrow worms, a kind of creature that lives deep underground.

Although the word “worm” is in the name, the biological form is more like plants. Their digestive organs and skin are the experimental materials that apprentices prefer.

It was only after Wright enthusiastically dug out all the burrow worms under the ground that Thor found that these guys, which were supposed to be gray-brown, had turned purple-brown.

“Oh! Bill, you must stop your habit of poisoning.” Wright took a metal rod and picked up the worms on the ground. “Look, this one is useless.”

Bill pouted, “Then you have to move faster next time.”

Hearing that the burrow worms were useless, Thor was a little disappointed, but he didn’t show it, thinking that he would definitely meet them again in the future.

At this moment, he found that Byron, who had returned to his normal size at some point, walked to Wright.

His mouth stretched out again and stuck to the purple-brown skin of the worm.

“Gulp gulp…”

With the sound of boiling water, the worm in Wright’s hand quickly returned to gray-brown.

“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 suck things. I don’t even have an antidote for some of the toxins in my body.”

Byron said softly, “Hmm,” and it was unknown whether he had received the implicit warning in Bill’s words.

Sol did not 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 Sol to take out the underground burrow worms intact.

This burrow worm was as thick as a forearm and two meters long. It was a small guy among adult burrow worms.

The big guys lived deeper underground.

Sol took out a silk bag from his backpack and shook it gently. The bag opened up and was one person tall.

Wright skillfully put the burrow worm in.

Sol closed the mouth again, and the silk bag immediately shrank to the size of a ball.

This was not space witchcraft, but a compression technology based on magic.

Thor patted his pockets, feeling good.

If he could pick up a few more burrowworms today, then this trip underground wouldn’t be bad.

Everyone continued to move forward with mixed feelings.

They seemed to have entered a platform, and the burrows were almost straight, not going deeper underground.

Thor looked left and right along the way, hoping to pick up some more good stuff. But unfortunately, the underground was generally barren, and it wasn’t like in the game where you could spawn a small monster after walking a few steps.

As a place that had been explored by his predecessor for dozens or hundreds of years, this was normal.

Thor took a deep breath and adjusted his mentality.

However, Byron in front of him suddenly stopped, and Thor almost bumped into him.

Looking over his head, Thor found that Bill and Wright were also standing still, with their hands raised and their backs straight.

They were all in a defensive posture.

Passing through the gap between the three people’s bodies, Thor finally saw the reason why they were tense.

In front of him, the road forked for the first time, with a total of three passages.

Each passage could accommodate two people passing side by side.

At this time, a gray-white, translucent human-shaped phantom walked out of the middle passage.

They lined up, raised their legs high, lowered them gently, and stood on tiptoe, as if they were afraid of waking someone up.

Their upper bodies swayed gently as they moved, and their heads also swayed a little bit.

They all had no arms…

I wish all readers a happy New Year’s Day!!!

I went out shopping today, and bought a lot of new things. I only had time in the evening, but I still rushed out a chapter!

I will continue to work hard tomorrow.
