Chapter 484 Prey Hound
Following his first sighting at former Mayor Howard’s riverside estate, Lynch saw this strange and terrifying creature again.
Just as the Yi people described it, except that its body shape and limbs are a bit like beasts, it has nothing to do with hounds.
Compared to the one at Riverside Manor, the hound in front of him no longer had an ethereal and hazy feel, and became more solid, which allowed Lynch to see its appearance more clearly.
This made him feel that he might as well not be able to see clearly.
The appearance of the hound is weird and abominable, especially the slender twisted body and limbs, the long tongue swallowing like a snake, and the body surface dripping with blue glittering mucus, which are all disgusting.
After gradually understanding the danger of hounds, Lin Qi no longer dared to ignore its existence. Being stared at by two eyes with a strange red light, Lin Qi felt a coldness from the inside out, and his muscles were tense. , holding the cane tightly, but looking aside to avoid looking at it.
The hound took a step forward and spit out its long tongue again. Blue mucus dripped from the tongue like saliva, and then turned into mist and blended into the surrounding blue light.
One step, another step.
Lin Qi's heart was beating faster and faster, and his hand holding the stick became tighter and tighter. However, before he could make any move, blue lights flashed around him one after another.
Hounds emerged from the light pillars, increasing in number, and soon a large group gathered.
Uncountable.
These ugly monsters seemed to have no entity. They were stacked on top of each other. They looked like a big ball of blue stuff. It was not known how many there were in it. Maybe there were only a few, maybe thousands.
“Number is meaningless to hounds” “Hounds always appear in groups” “Hounds are running everywhere in the river of time”
At this moment, Lynch finally understood The significance of these comments makes us understand the horror of the River of Time. Unfortunately, groups of hounds have already pounced on it.
These monsters swarmed up and rushed straight to his position. Lynch tried to dodge a few times at first, but soon realized that in the face of sheer numbers, dodging was meaningless. He could only watch the hounds pounce on him, and then... passed through his body.
The hound penetrated his body like a phantom. Lynch did not feel any impact, just like a cold wind blowing across his body. As if they didn't sense his presence at all, the large group of hounds rushed past his body and jumped into the air one by one.
Fuck, I was scared to death.
Lynch's heart was already beating like a gallop, and his mouth felt dry. When he turned around, he realized that the target of these hounds was not him, but the blue dots falling in the sky.
The fine snow-like light spots are large and small, bright and dark. I don’t know where they come from, and I don’t know where they are floating to. They seem to be endless and never-ending.
The target of the hounds is the larger light spot. As soon as the long tongue stretches out, the light spot is sucked into the cavity. Only a little light shines through the tongue body. Then the tongue wriggles and the light spot disappears in the hounds. Within the body, he then pounced on the next piece of light.
? ? ?
The scene was dangerous and strange, but Lin Qi had a very strange feeling, as if he had encountered a pack of hunting wolves on the grassland. Although he might be affected at any time, he was still full of curiosity and was surprised to see Watching the hounds fighting one after another.
“Stop looking and leave as soon as possible.”
The Yithian's emotionless tone sounded in Lynch's consciousness:
"You are now protected by the communicator. The hounds cannot detect you, but if you stay around them for too long, you will still be able to detect you." There is a possibility of being exposed. After all, you don’t want to be overwhelmed by such a number of hounds.”
Hiss, can your Yi people’s things work?
Lin Qi's heart trembled. He didn't bother to ask any more questions and immediately ran away...
"No, which way to go." "Ahead."
"Everything is the same around, which way is forward?"
"Whatever, choose the direction you like."
? ? ?
Lynch looked at the increasing number of hounds, chose a direction away from them, and turned away.
“Attention, this is the direction your Silver Key is guiding you.”
“Huh?”
Lynch paused, recalling the almost childish test that Archbishop Trinleth gave him when he just traveled through time, and vaguely understood something.
“Yes, intuition is the most important in the mysterious field. No matter what reason you choose this direction, it is the result of the guidance of the Silver Key, because the Silver Key will affect your intuition. , making you instinctively want to go in the direction of the Silver Gate, and you will find various reasons to take action. This is why Milt didn't tell you in advance how the Silver Key will guide you. It is purely up to you. Personally, it’s hard to explain in words.”
“So I can find the Silver Gate just by walking in this direction?”
"In the river of time, the word 'direction' does not exist, only the past, present and future exist. The space you perceive is just a fallacy that appears after being polluted by your understanding, and is not real. And the Silver Gate The so-called 'direction' can change at any time, and you can't reach it by walking in any direction."
"So..." Lynch made it clear, "I just need to follow my feeling and go where I want to go. , can we reach the Silver Gate?”
“Yes, in the mysterious world, guidance from the heart is the most important information.”
"Okay, thank you for the guidance." Lynch had quickly moved away from the group of hounds. He looked back at the strange entities chasing blue light spots and finally breathed a sigh of relief. "They seem to be hunting. What are those light spots?" ? "
"The crumbs of time, the residue bred in the torrent of time, are the real food of the hounds. The pursuit of those who desecrate time is just their after-dinner entertainment. Be careful when you encounter them. If you take the initiative to attack them, the communicator will not be able to hide you once the connection is established."
"Okay, I understand," Lin Qi suddenly said in hindsight, "The communicator is gone. Has it taken effect? Is that what you are contacting now?”
"It took effect before you fell into the river of time, but I didn't contact you through the communicator. That piece of equipment was rather special. I couldn't contact you at the 'now' time point. I used my brain to communicate with you. The form of waves comes with you."
Hiss...
"Don't be nervous, I have very few brain waves attached to you, and it is impossible to occupy your body. There are a lot of weird things that I can’t understand and I don’t want to come into contact with. I came with you just to help you find the Lord of Tindalos and to ensure that you won’t be lost in the torrent of time.”
"By the way, if I directly target the Silver Gate, can I still guarantee that I will find the location of the Lord of Tindalos? If the Silver Gate keeps changing positions...in short, changing a certain noun, what about the doghouse?"< br>
“The angle of time is a very special concept that only has meaning within the river of time. In fact, it exists at any point in the river of time, from the beginning to the end. So no matter where you go, in the end Everyone has the opportunity to enter the Corner of Time, it just depends on whether you can realize it.”
“Hey, what are its characteristics?”
"Pay attention to your steps, don't use your eyes, use your consciousness to feel."
Lin Qi lowered his head subconsciously, feeling with his body and mind, and then endless surprise filled his mind.
