The red moon returns

Chapter 480 The Hounds of Tindalos
Looking at the Yis people who were invited to get on the car, Lynch felt his skin tremble.

It's not fear, but shock.

I was just thinking about it and bragging to the girl. Why are you serious about it? Don't tell me it was a coincidence. There is no such coincidence in the world.

Yet that's what happened.

The Yisi people boarded the carriage, still with that dull expression, and looked at the three people indifferently:
"It should be this time. I didn't come early."

……

The three of them found themselves speechless. Lynch's expression had become numb, and he shook his head woodenly.

"Then we can set off now."

"Huh? Wait a minute." Diana stammered, "Wouldn't it be too hasty to set off now? At least we should be fully prepared before we leave."

"Prepare? Prepare for what?" The Yisi people were a little stunned, and then suddenly realized and showed an expression that could barely be called a smile, "Oh, this operation is different from what you understand. No preparation is required, or it is useless to prepare."

"Then how long do we need to stay there?" Natalie asked, "If it's too long, I need to inform my colleagues first."

"No, it won't take too long." Yisi smiled again, as if he had thought of something funny. "You will understand what I mean by then. If it is convenient, let's set off now. I don't want to delay too long. I will explain it to you on the way."

"Where?"

"Wilson Town, the home of Milt and his sister. They have the right props to help you enter the River of Time. They also have the Silver Key. Without the Silver Key, you cannot enter the Silver Gate."

"Ok."

Seeing Lynch nod, Diana greeted the old butler outside, and the carriage immediately started again and drove towards the eastern suburbs.

"The specific method of entering the River of Time will be explained to you by Milt and his sister. I am only responsible for helping you avoid the hunting of the hounds of Tindalos. This is our previous agreement. I hope you have no objection."

As he spoke, the Yis man took out a box from somewhere and handed it to Lynch. According to the agreement, Lynch had to go to the corner of time, visit the Lord of Tindalos who existed there, and hand the box to him.

The question is, what about the 'small' box?

Lynch looked at the small box the size of a rice cooker and was reluctant to comment.

But it was quite beautiful, with a golden appearance and a metallic luster, which looked as attractive as gold to Lin Qi. The surface was engraved with dense patterns, and the texture was very beautiful. It did not have the weirdness and confusion that came with a mysterious object, but instead looked more like a fine work of art.

The rice cooker is not heavy and can be held up with one hand. Lynch turned it over and over for a long time but couldn't find any gap. It seemed like a solid object.

"Now I can explain clearly what I should do." "Well, first you need to have an concept of the river of time." The Yis man slowly organized his words and slowly narrated the story amid the sound of rolling wheels.

The river of time is not a river, but a mysteriously distorted concept. It does not exist in the real world, nor in dreams. It only exists in people's cognition.

This concept is difficult for human thinking to understand, just like summer insects cannot understand the meaning of ice and snow. However, the self-correction ability of cognition distorts this incomprehensible concept into a tunnel-like structure. Time flows in this "tunnel" where there is no concept of space, just like a river, so it is named the River of Time.

Of course, none of this is true. Human language cannot describe things beyond human cognition. As soon as the language comes out, it becomes a distorted pseudo-theory. But in order to take care of the three humans who haven't gone completely crazy, this more vivid description can only be used to introduce it.

Even so, Lynch was still able to keep up with his thoughts after being baptized by the monsters and demons on the Internet in his hometown. The other two ladies were completely confused, and their only thought was what he was talking about.

All Lynch has to do is to enter this 'tunnel', go upstream along the rushing torrent of time, follow the guidance of the Silver Key, enter the Silver Gate that only exists in the river of time, and meet Tavel Arthur Umr.

The Hound of Tindalos is the native inhabitant of this "river".

Tindalos Hounds actually have nothing to do with Hounds. They can hardly be considered as living creatures, but simply distorted existences. However, they have certain characteristics of living creatures, which is why they are barely classified as aliens.

Time is more like a space to them. They travel through this "tunnel" and tirelessly pursue the crumbs of time, which are their food. They will appear in the past, present and future, at any point in time, whether it is the ancient starting point or the end of time.

Therefore, anyone who has a connection with the River of Time, whether relying on the power to travel through time physically or going downstream in spirit to peek into the future, is likely to run into these strange beings. The longer the distance traveled in the River of Time, that is, the longer the time spanned, the higher the chance of encountering a hound.

Once they target you, there will be a fight to the death. They will pursue their targets endlessly. No matter where the targets hide, even if they hide at the end of time, they cannot escape their pursuit.

Facing the hounds, counterattacks were meaningless. They were not immortal. A second or third level Soul Forsaken could destroy a hound. But destroying it would have no effect, because there were endless hounds in the last second, the next second, the last millisecond, the next millisecond. They would gather at every point in time to hunt the target. Moreover, they always appeared in groups. Numbers had lost their meaning in front of their numbers. No matter how many were killed, they would eventually be overwhelmed and torn to pieces by the hounds.

It is this characteristic of fighting to the death that earned them the name hounds. Once you are targeted by them, the only way to survive is to hide in a building with an angle of no less than 120 degrees like the Milt brothers and sisters, so that you can temporarily escape the hounds' pursuit.

Because hounds live in the "corner" of time, if they want to jump from the river of time to the present world, they must use the concept of the "corner" of the present world and use the conceptual proximity to shuttle inside and outside.

But this is not safe. Once the building is damaged, the hider is dead, unless he can find another hiding place before being killed.

The vast majority of people who know of their existence believe that they are absolutely the craziest and most terrifying of all alien creatures, without a doubt. Even those Old Ones wandering in the depths of the Dreamland are full of fear of such crazy existences and are unwilling to provoke them easily.

It is said that the Billions of Lords of Light, who control the power of time, had a war with the Hounds of Tindalos. No one knows when the war started, but it lasted until the end of time and never ended.

And Lynch, with the help of the Yis people, had to pass through the endless hounds, and actively follow the hounds into the depths of their nests and slap the strange box on the face of the hound king.
