Adventurer, did you revive today by watching the ads too?

Chapter 54 (Seeking First Subscription) We are all tentacle monsters, and one day we will be killed by righteous adventurers.

Logically speaking, now that I am a spirit, I have no reason to worry about physical attacks.

But upon closer inspection, these roots are actually transparent spirits!

666 There's a second level.

Hua Zhen quickly crushed the core and wildly swung his arms in the air to dodge the attacks from the roots above.

The small tentacles stuck to his arm and were also spared.

Hua Zhen looked serious.

Since the tentacle monster's body has been endowed with the ability to become a spirit.

Therefore, the mutated ghost grass, as the fundamental plant, naturally also possesses this ability.

The tentacle monster's consciousness traveled through its arm.

It told Hua Zhen that as a demon, its soul was weak, and therefore its body had long been controlled by the Ghost Grass. The mist was not only meant to lure away the souls of its prey to replenish its nutrients, but also to evade the pursuit of certain powerful demons.

With its core destroyed, as if in retaliation against Hua Zhen, more and more roots spread down from the sky.

"Jin Jin! Miss Jin Jin!!" Hua Zhen called out as she dodged.

"Don't shout so loudly, I can hear you. I've been listening to what's going on here since just now—"

"Use the tentacle monster's soul to hold on for a bit, and get that entangled knight down first." Miss Jin Jin's voice came.

"Utilizing—the soul of the little tentacle?"

"The reason why the Ghost Grass attacked you is because your soul has been enchanted by necromancy, but it still retains its autonomy, so I can't let it do whatever it wants. I will also take away its control over the tentacle monster's body."

Jin Jin's voice continued to echo in my mind.

"So what you need to do is very simple: use the necromancy I engraved on your soul to achieve the principle of soul compatibility, absorb the tentacle's soul, and completely control the tentacle monster's body."

"What...what impact will this have on me?" Hua Zhen asked.

"Probably not, because you and the tentacle monster are very compatible, and its soul isn't as strong as yours—tsk tsk tsk, honestly, there are very few examples of souls that are compatible between humans and monsters. Tell me, Hua Zhen—are you really human?"

Jin Jin clicked her tongue in amazement, her tone carrying a sense of detachment from the past.

"In all my years as a necromancer, I've killed monsters and held funerals, but you're the first one who has such a strong soul connection with a monster—just as my father was right, you really can see anything if you live long enough."

Hua Zhen used the strength of his arm to tear off the roots that were chasing after him.

The strength of the body does indeed reflect on the soul.

But that wasn't enough. These roots kept coming in, and at first glance it looked like falling into a snake pit, with thousands of venomous snakes writhing and surging inside.

This can't go on—

Even if they can still escape now, as time goes by, these tentacles will eventually fill up the space inside the tentacle monster, leaving it nowhere to go.

"If I were a tentacle monster, I'd tie you up hand and foot when I got back—tell me what to do!"

Jin Jin was silent for a few seconds, and then her voice came.

"I admire your courage, so—destroy the tentacle monster's soul!"

"yeah?"

"Fun fact: When you're alive, what flows out is the essence of life; after you die, what flows out is a part of your soul. The soul of the weaker party dissolves and returns to yours—that's the soul's devouring nature!"

"If I'm really addicted, will I eventually ruin myself?"

"I don't know about that—it must be rare to maintain such a strong desire after losing a physical body, right?" Jin Jin said. "Anyway, just hang in there. Once your soul can't concentrate on controlling the tentacle monster, it will act on your instincts—I'll send someone to help you right away."

Although it couldn't understand human speech, the little tentacle in its soul state still understood the meaning behind the two people's words.

It drifted to Hua Zhen's tentacles.

It stretched out its tentacles and touched them with Hua Zhen's tentacles.

The meaning that the little tentacle's soul wanted to convey was transmitted through Hua Zhen's tentacles.

"We are all tentacle monsters, and one day we will be killed by righteous adventurers—"

"No, I'm not a tentacle monster—I'm human, I'm human!"

Hua Zhen gritted his teeth, his expression ferocious like a dragon.

But the little tentacle stretched out and gently stroked his face.

Along with the feelings in the little tentacle's heart, they also came to Hua Zhen's side.

This tentacle monster was driven by instinct to spend its entire life searching for a warm home.

But it remained trapped in a dark and gloomy laboratory, eventually ending up in this bizarre state.

Perhaps Hua Zhen is the same.

Who wouldn't want to be born from Anna's mother's womb?

But to live in this world, you need money, endless wealth.

Even so, I will probably continue to pursue wealth in the future.

"That's right—we—are best friends!" Hua Zhen reached out her hand, responding to the touch of the little tentacle.

It is very difficult to do this under these circumstances.

Giving up is easy; as long as the roots of the Ghost Grass haven't filled this body, we can escape.

But—that's the mindset of a useless person!

How could a tiny tentacle monster possibly hinder my indomitable will?!

Just then, two more souls crawled in.

Hua Zhen looked closely and saw that it was Shiva and Karula.

Damn it, so these were the two helpers they were talking about.

Shiva and Karula were clearly still somewhat confused about the current situation, until these tentacles came chasing after them. Instead of running away, the mother and daughter grabbed them and started chewing on them.

Upon seeing this, Hua Zhen couldn't help but smile.

There's a saying: "Once bitten by a snake, twice shy."

The winding roots look a lot like snakes; these two creatures, who have lived in the wild for a long time, have definitely eaten snakes.

Carla goes without saying; the little guy's stats are way overpowered.

Shiva is more agile, and because it is in a spirit state, its dog-paddle is very fast.

Shiva and Karula became increasingly addicted to the food.

Although each bite would shatter and dissipate the spirit-like roots, making them impossible to swallow, the mother and daughter's reactions suggested that the roots must have been quite delicious.

"Are you really—willing to merge with me?" Hua Zhen asked, looking at the small tentacle in her palm. "Perhaps you will die."

"No, I will always be here, because we are all tentacle monsters," came the reply. "My own kind will not accept me, but thankfully I found you in the end, my dearest friend—from now on, I am you, and you are me."

"I understand, then let's—collude together!"

Hua Zhen closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

Bika, Jinman, LanP, lwara ————

Expand the domain!!!

The ghost grass, which had been constantly being torn apart, now seemed to be completely enraged.

More and more plant roots kept hanging down from above, dancing wildly. The sheer density of these roots meant that they were also being pulled out of the tentacle monster's body.

When faced with extreme danger, it will prioritize protecting itself at all costs.

Mutant magical plants can be just that bizarre sometimes.

It knows exactly how to make the most of its own characteristics.

Under the lash of countless roots, Shiva's soul was wounded, and it wailed pitifully. Karula stood in front of it, letting out a muffled growl from her throat.

At that moment, a hand—

No, it was a tentacle that gently rested on Karula's shoulder.

"Take Shiva back with you, I can handle things here."

Karula turned around and saw that it was the tentacle version of the soul-transformed Hua Zhen.

At this moment, although he still largely retains a human appearance, his arms have been replaced by many intertwined tentacles, so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a tentacle monster.
