Chapter 284: Turning against guests

As Thor's spirit marked the vines successfully, everything around him slowly came to life.

The vines stretched their roots steadily and continued to penetrate deep into the soil. The moisture in the underground passage began to slowly decrease. A small white mushroom even appeared under Sol's right foot.

"It seems that the elder vine quite recognizes you. I can feel that the Black Castle is recovering quickly." Yura looked up and said, "Okay, let's get out of here. It's too damp here. I feel like this body's

My joints are growing hairy."

Sol was still observing the changes around him, and after hearing this, he slowly stepped up to follow Yura.

This vine planted under the Black Castle is really magical.

When Thor began to move away from the root system, he could feel the rhizome in the soil suddenly grow a very active rhizome, following his footsteps.

Whenever the soles of his feet hit the ground, it was as if they were in contact with the roots below through a shallow layer of soil.

Sol found it very interesting. He raised his right hand and stretched it towards the wall on one side.

Immediately, he felt that the root system split into two parts, one of which extended upward quickly and happily. When Sol's palm touched the soil on the side, a small tip suddenly appeared and gave him a gentle "high-five".

"Ouch!" Sol found it interesting and immediately raised his left hand and reached for the wall on the other side.

The underground rhizome split again and grew faster to the inside of the soil where Sol's left hand was touching.

The palm is once again bordered by the root system.

"Ha." Sol finally couldn't help laughing.

Yula, who was walking in front, turned back in confusion, and the doll's head turned directly to its back, "What are you doing?"

"Uh..." Thor realized that what he had just done was a bit childish. Especially to outsiders, it seemed like he was just having fun.

"Ahem." He retracted his hands with some embarrassment and secretly rubbed off the dirt on his fingertips. "I'm just feeling the changes in the vines."

Definitely not playing with that root system!

Yula looked at Sol suspiciously, and then turned her head after a few seconds. Her neck joints made a friction sound like wood. It seemed that her hair was really growing.

The two of them walked all the way out of the underground cave, walked out of the wine cellar, and closed the secret door.

At this time, Sol lost contact with the root system underground.

However, after Sol and Yura left, the rhizome that was growing quietly underground suddenly shook hard and weakly.

[Who... is he? Why can just a mental connection... be able to possess my entire body? 】

The weak voice no longer had the impatience it had when talking to Sol just now. It contained a slight tremor, just as it showed on the outside.

[Also...who are you? What did that boy leave inside me?!]

No one responded.

…

There's something really wrong with the body of the doll that contains Yula's spirit body. And it's not just hair growing. Yula's movements are becoming sluggish.

"I'm going back now. I've requisitioned your coachman." Yula quickened her pace, but her hip joints also began to make strange sounds.

"Winnie, are you okay? Do you need me to do anything?"

"It's okay, it's just that there are some things in this doll's body that I didn't expect. I have to go back and clean it up quickly. You don't have to give it away."

After Yula finished speaking, he pushed open the door of the Black Castle and rushed out like the wind.

Outside the gate, the coachman was still waiting on the spot. He was just squatting on the ground and looking at the weeds on the roadside.

Suddenly he felt another gust of wind blowing into the car, followed by a sound like phlegm.

"Go back to the tower!"

The driver was suddenly startled and stood up quickly, only to find that Sol was still standing at the door and had not gotten on the bus.

His expression looked a little confused.

Sol nodded to the coachman and motioned for him to set off quickly.

The coachman hurriedly climbed into the car, bowed slightly to Thor, and drove the carriage quickly away from Blackburg Forest.

Now, only Thor himself is left in the entire Black Castle.

He turned around and saw a black tentacle suddenly stretched out from the place where the eyes were originally located on the narrow door of the Black Castle.

This tentacle looks so familiar.

"Xiaozao?" Sol immediately raised his hand and touched the back of his neck.

A small black tentacle immediately stretched out from inside, and the index finger that entangled Sol's fingers immediately released and retracted.

"When did the little algae get inside? Wait, isn't it the one that was high-fiving me in the soil just now?"

Thinking of this, Sol quickly returned to the underground where he was just now.

When he re-entered through the secret door of the wine cellar, he immediately felt that the surrounding environment was different from the previous one.

The air here is still humid, but not as oppressive as it was at the beginning, and the ground has become softer and feels slightly muddy when you step on it.

When Sol walked to the originally strong rhizome, he was shocked to find that it had actually "skinned down" in just a few minutes!

"Little algae?" Sol called to it.

[No, I'm not, but if you...you are referring to the black tentacle rooted in my body...I think it is responding to you.]

As soon as the low voice fell, several black tentacles suddenly grew under the soil around Sol.

He seemed to have returned to the abandoned underground laboratory under the wizard's tower. That closed basement had corpses floating on the surface and could stretch out tentacles as thick as a hug.

Sol lowered his head and raised his foot and stamped it again.

The sticky feeling is more obvious, and the soles of your feet will sink slightly when you step on it.

It's really starting to look more and more like a swamp.

"Why did the algae transfer to your body?"

[...Didn't you do this? Just now, when you and I established a spiritual connection... Wuwu...]

Wait, is this big guy crying?

[...Your powerful mental power broke through the range of spiritual connection and took over my entire body. After patrolling the woods and the castle, I retreated. 】

【But you left behind... the small algae, and now it is desperately absorbing my nutrients.】

Thor was stunned.

So the painful feeling of confinement he just felt was not caused by a spiritual connection?

It was because he used his mental power to explore the other party thoroughly from head to toe. Before leaving, he also left an uninvited guest behind, robbing him of his room and food.

[Can you control it? If this continues, my ends will wither and the entire Black Castle will collapse. 】

"Xiao Zao," after a moment of silence, Sol called Xiao Zao.

Slender black tentacles stretched out from the back of his neck, opened his shark-like mouth at Thor, and clicked his teeth in a "click-click" manner.

"Take it easy and don't eat too much. We will stay here for at least ten more days."

Xiaozao immediately nodded happily and then shrank back.

Thor said to the root of the vine again, "Is it okay now?"

[...Thank you for your generosity, and finally I apologize for my rudeness when we just met.]

"It doesn't matter." Thor left the vines in place.

It seems that because of the change of owner, the atmosphere inside the Black Castle is also a little different, and those tall and thin buildings gradually become less deformed.

It's more in line with Sol's aesthetic.

He did not go to Mochi Mochi's room, but casually entered a guest room and sat down on a bed that was as long and slender as a coffin.

"It will take at least ten days to come here by carriage. Then, during this period, I will be the only one here."

Sol thought of the bag of Mosheng fruits he had finally taken out from Mofan Town.

"Actually, I don't need to go back to the tower. I can completely rebuild a consciousness platform array here. Now, this is my territory!"
