Chapter 371 – Tentacles
Chapter 371 – Tentacles
Feet had just stepped into the Dead Season, and the surrounding area was awfully quiet.
It was as if the ears had suddenly gone deaf, as if the world had been pressed into pause.
Ann curled up her fingers at the oppressive silence, and she was just about to speak and break the infinite silence when she saw Saul raise his index finger.
Silence.
Saul was also repressed, but the more repressed he was, the less he was free to vent.
He realized that his mental body stopped vibrating when he entered the Dead Season, but at the same time he felt a great pressure surrounding him.
However, when he swept around vigilantly, he did not find the source of the pressure.
“Could it be that Kong Sha and the others are relying on the Dead Season to calm the vibrations of their spiritual bodies? If that’s the case, it’s possible to last for most of the year in a place like this.”
At that moment, Agu gently tapped Sol’s shoulder, reaching out and pointing in the direction he came from for him to see.
When Saul turned his head, he saw that the sparse trees at the end of the forest were still there, but more than that, there were human figures standing with their hands hanging down.
But this enemy, who had just been attacking them, was now like a tamed lamb, standing quietly at the edge, not moving, not making a sound.
Since these bizarre humanoids didn’t move, Saul naturally didn’t want to actively provoke them again.
This clear sense of boundaries they had was disturbing.
Obviously, their heads were lowered, but it allowed Saul to feel a silent gaze.
There was definitely no going back now.
Saul gently put An down – the mental shocks of the two conscious bodies had also calmed down, and were in a much better state than just now.
He looked away from the forest, and at the end of the scorched black earth was a high mountain rising out of the ground.
The mountain was steep, and its walls, like the land beneath Saul’s feet, were dark brown, with not a blade of grass or tree in sight.
It was like a fire that had destroyed everything through and through.
Saul’s instincts told him not to go near that big mountain.
At that moment, he decided to first follow the border between the forest and the Dead Season, without leaving the Dead Season or going far away from the forest.
The group gradually approached the palace ahead.
However, just as Saul was considering whether to enter the palace now or wait for the weird humanoid in the forest to disappear and enter the palace with Kong Sha and the others, he suddenly felt a shaking under his feet.
He was just about to move his steps and adjust his center of gravity when he realized that the ground under his feet trembled violently, and then it suddenly picked upwards, surprisingly sprouting a tip right out of it.
Sol’s several people immediately dodged to the side.
However, before they could stand firmly, the ground under their feet began to surge again at that moment.
The black land was like it had come to life, and there wasn’t a single spot that wasn’t shaking.
Saul immediately crouched down, propped up the ground with one hand, and toned down his center of gravity.
As soon as he lowered his head, he saw a black object coming towards him and hastily cast his Spirit Armor Technique.
“Dang!”
Before Saul could see who the enemy really was, he felt himself being knocked out.
“Master!”
Ann immediately ran over.
“It’s okay.” Saul landed and stumbled two steps, whispering.
And Agu released a wrist-thick pillar of light next to him, striking the dark figure that had attacked Saul.
The black shadow was directly penetrated and the front end broke off, falling to the ground.
It was only then that a few people could see exactly what had attacked Saul.
Surprisingly, it was a thigh-thick black tentacle!
And it looked very familiar!
“This, isn’t this your little algae, master?” An also recognized it and said in surprise.
Sol took another look and shook his head, “This is the Soul Devouring Demon Swamp, not my Little Algae.”
At this moment, another black tentacle stretched out from underneath the writhing earth and stabbed straight at Agu.
Agu once again cast a 1st rank Holy Light Ray and easily snapped it off.
“Watch out!” However, Saul, who was watching from the sidelines, had his eyes widened, not caring about the oppressive feeling around him, and reminded Agu in a loud voice.
Agu also heard a sharp wind whistle at the same time, the speed of it, coupled with unsteady feet and a body that wasn’t as sensitive as it should be, he could only raise his left hand and block it in front of the right side of his face.
A shield had just appeared on Agu’s right side when it was crushed by a black tentacle that was the thickness of a closed arm.
Seeing that Agu was about to be hit by that suddenly appeared, even bigger tentacle, a semi-transparent hand suddenly appeared behind Agu, pulling his collar and violently dragging him back.
“Boom!”
The huge black tentacle fell, smashing a deep crater into the already cracked land. And Agu stumbled to the ground right at the edge of the deep pit.
If he had just been hit, not to mention how the body of consciousness would be, this vessel would definitely be ruined.
Saul withdrew his palm, he had just yanked Agu away with his Mage Hand, but immediately afterward, he heard a familiar breaking sound.
He pushed away An, who was still unresponsive, in front of him, and at the same time jumped backward with force himself.
Another tentacle the thickness of a black elephant’s leg brushed against the two men and dug hard into their feet.
Saul could have used his sorcery to fend it off or jump away just now, but at the last minute, he chose to jump purely with the power of his flesh.
Agu had just gotten up from the ground at this point, and was just about to come over when he saw Saul make a gesture to him.
Stop!
Behind Agu was the huge tentacle that was once again raised high, but Saul told him to stop moving.
He was a bit puzzled, but hardened himself against the immense pressure from behind him and didn’t move.
The next second he realized that the tentacles behind him were actually attacking Sol as well.
Saul similarly stomped hard on the wobbling ground and stomped himself off. But before he could land, a third tentacle swept across.
An’s vision had just retracted from the large pit that was smashed out of the ground, when he saw that Saul was already surrounded by several tentacles.
She widened her eyes under the black scarf and suddenly screamed, “I know! Master, don’t come over!”
Just as she finished speaking, she immediately opened her hands, and her fingertips melted and unfolded into countless threads of blood.
The three gigantic tentacles that had been chasing Saul the previous second immediately turned around and ran towards An.
Saul was actually guessing whether these tentacles were attacking people based on magic power fluctuations when he chose to jump away to avoid the tentacles.
However, even if he stopped casting sorcery, the newborn giant tentacles still kept attacking him.
At the last moment, there were already three tentacles as thick as an elephant’s leg attacking from different directions at the same time.
Saul dodged in a sorry state, almost having to cast a sorcery spell.
Right now, Ann suddenly cast her unique and unknown sorcery to draw it over, alleviating Sol’s crisis, but at the same time, it also drew in the fourth and fifth even thicker tentacles.
Saul quickly swept over the white silhouettes on the forest side, and then looked towards the ones that were constantly attacking Ann, and quickly pondered in his mind.
“Run towards the palace, we’ll take over!”
Agu and An were both smart, they instantly understood what Saul meant.
However, just as Saul was about to cast a new sorcery to draw the tentacles over, all of a sudden, the ground underneath their feet had a violent wobble, moving up and down by a surprising amount of more than a meter!
The mental body that Saul had just mobilized was interrupted by this suddenly increased trembling.
Only to see that the ground under their feet was instantly transformed into black, entangled giant tentacles!
Dense, entangled and writhing, from near to far, without exception.
It was as if they had fallen into a huge python cave!
If they didn’t carefully change their standing position and center of gravity, they would be caught in the gaps of the tentacles by the undulating and writhing.
Looking at the bottomless mass of black tentacles, chills ran through Saul’s heart.
Even with his current physical strength, he was afraid that he would be pulverized if he was swept in!
But what was even more frightening was still behind.
More and more gigantic tentacles reached out from the ground. The closer the tentacles were to the distant mountains, the more enormous they became.
The farthest place visible to the naked eye was actually a tentacle as thick as a small mountain itself.
These huge and terrifying tentacles reached up to the sky and swayed continuously with the undulations of the earth, like seaweed under deep water.
But Saul could imagine that once entangled in these “seaweeds”, they would do their best to drown you underwater!
These tentacles emitted a terrifying pressure, almost making people breathless. Especially the distant tentacles like a mountain, even if it is so far away, it gives Saul mental pressure is also the biggest!
Looking at the densely packed black tentacles around him, Saul was afraid that if he cast another sorcery spell, he would invite dozens of tentacles to surround him at the same time.
Right at this moment, An, who was barely fending off the tentacles around him with her blood silk, hissed loudly, “Leave me alone, go to the palace!”
The blood silk in her hand was currently fending off five huge tentacles at the same time, and it looked like it couldn’t last much longer.
As soon as the words left her mouth, she opened it violently and another blood filament erupted out of her mouth, surprisingly reaching between Saul and Agu, tearing away two tentacles with great force, allowing the two to see the palace not far away.
The ground near that palace, surprisingly, was still soil, and had not turned into a heavily entangled mass of tentacles!
Thor and Agu turned around at the same time, stepping on the constantly writhing tentacles, running with all their strength towards the passageway that An had opened for them.
After running for a few steps, Agu couldn’t help but look back, and to his horror, he saw that all of An’s limbs had turned to blood, pulling the tentacles to keep them away.
But the next second, a black tentacle three meters in diameter fell from the sky.
It directly pressed the An below and the tentacles that surrounded her into the ground!
Sorry sorry sorry, the old man in the family birthday, only now began to write. I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry.
