The red moon returns

Chapter 484: The Hunting Hound

After first seeing it at former Mayor Howard's riverside estate, Lynch saw this strange and terrifying creature again.

Just as the Yis people described, this thing has nothing to do with a hound, except that its body shape and limbs are somewhat like those of animals.

Compared to the hound in the riverside manor, the hound in front of him no longer had that illusory and hazy feeling, but became more solid, which allowed Lynch to see its appearance more clearly.

This made him feel that it would be better if he could not see clearly.

The hound has a strange and hideous appearance, especially its elongated and twisted body and limbs, its long tongue that moves in and out like a snake, and its body surface covered with blue, shiny mucus, all of which are disgusting.

After gradually understanding the danger of the hound, Lynch no longer dared to ignore its existence. Being stared at by two pairs of eyes with a strange red light, Lynch felt a chill from the inside out. His muscles tensed, he held his cane tightly, but his eyes turned to the side to avoid looking at it.

The hound took a step forward and stuck out its long tongue again. Blue mucus dripped from its tongue like saliva, then turned into mist and merged into the blue light around it.

One step, another step.

Lynch's heart beat faster and faster, and his grip on the cane became tighter and tighter. However, before he could make any move, blue lights flashed around him one after another.

One by one, hounds emerged from the beam of light, their numbers increasing until they formed a large group.

Uncountable.

These ugly monsters seemed to have no substance. They were stacked up one on top of another, and looked like a large blue mass. No one knew how many there were in it. Maybe there were only a few, or maybe there were tens of thousands.

"Numbers mean nothing to hounds" "Hounds always come in packs" "Hounds run everywhere in the river of time"

At this moment, Lynch finally understood the meaning of these comments and realized the horror of the River of Time. Unfortunately, packs of hounds had already pounced on him.

These monsters rushed forward and headed straight for him. Lynch tried to dodge a few times at first, but soon realized that dodging was pointless in the face of absolute numbers. He could only watch the hounds pounce on him and then... pass through his body.

The hounds pierced through his body like a phantom, and Lynch did not feel the impact, just like a cold wind blowing through his body. The hounds seemed to have no sense of his presence at all, and after rushing through his body, they jumped up into the air one by one.

Oh shit, I was scared to death.

Lynch's heart was beating like a horse and his mouth was dry. When he turned around, he realized that the target of these hounds was not him, but the blue light falling from the sky.

The light spots like fine snow are big and small, bright and dim. No one knows where they come from or where they are going. It seems endless and never-ending.

The hounds' target was the larger spots of light. They stretched out their long tongues and sucked the spots of light into the cavity. Only a little light came through the tongue. Then the tongue squirmed, and the light spots disappeared into the hound's body, and then it pounced on the next spot of light.

???

The scene was dangerous and strange, but Lynch had a wonderful feeling, as if he had encountered a pack of hunting wolves on the grassland. Although he might be affected at any time, his heart was still full of curiosity, and he looked at the hunting dogs fighting for the prey in surprise.

"Don't look at it anymore and leave as soon as possible."

The emotionless voice of the Yis people rang in Lynch's mind:
"You are now protected by the communicator, and the hounds cannot sense you, but if you stay around them for too long, you may be exposed. After all, you don't want to be overwhelmed by such a large number of hounds."

Hiss, are the things you Islamic people have any use for?

Lin Qi's heart trembled, and he didn't bother to ask more questions, and immediately ran away...

"No, which way are you going?" "In front."

"Everything around is the same, where is the front?"

"Whatever, choose a direction you like."

???

Lynch looked at the increasing number of hounds, chose a direction away from them and turned away.

"Pay attention. This is the direction your Silver Key is directing you to."

"what?"

Lynch paused, recalling the almost childish test that Archbishop Trilles had done for him when he had just crossed over, and vaguely understood something.

"Yes, intuition is the most important thing in the mysterious realm. No matter what your reason is for choosing this direction, it is the result of the guidance of the Silver Key, because the Silver Key will affect your intuition and make you instinctively want to go in the direction of the Silver Gate, and you will find various reasons to take action. This is also the reason why Milt didn't tell you in advance how the Silver Key will guide you. It's hard to explain it in words based on your personal feelings."

"So I just need to walk in this direction to find the Silver Gate?"

"In the river of time, the word 'direction' does not exist. There are only the past, present and future. The space you perceive is just a fallacy that has been contaminated by your understanding. It is not real. Moreover, the so-called 'direction' of the Silver Gate can change at any time. You can't arrive at the destination just by walking in any direction."

"So..." Lynch understood immediately, "I just need to follow my feelings and go wherever I want to go, and I can reach the Silver Gate?"

“Yes, in the mysterious world, the guidance from the heart is the most important information.”

"Okay, thanks for the guidance." Lynch had already walked away from the group of hounds. He looked back at the strange creatures chasing the blue light spots and finally breathed a sigh of relief. "They seem to be hunting. What are those light spots?"

"Time crumbs, the residues of the torrent of time, are the real food of the hounds. Chasing those who desecrate time is just their after-meal entertainment. Be careful when you encounter them, and don't take the initiative to attack them. Once a connection is established, the communicator can no longer hide you."

"Okay, I see." Lynch suddenly realized and said, "The communicator has taken effect? ​​You are contacting me through that thing now?"

"It took effect before you fell into the River of Time, but I didn't contact you through the communicator. That device is quite special. I can't contact you at this time point of 'now'. I followed you in in the form of brain waves."

hiss……

"Don't be nervous. The brain waves I have attached to you are very small, so it is impossible for me to occupy your body. And there are many strange things in your body that I cannot understand and do not want to touch. I came in with you only to help you find the Lord of Tindalos, and to ensure that you will not get lost in the torrent of time."

"By the way, if I target the Silver Gate directly, can I be sure to find the location of the Lord of Tindalos? If the Silver Gate keeps changing its position... in short, changing a certain noun, then what about the doghouse?"

"The corner of time is a very special concept. It only makes sense 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, you will eventually have the opportunity to enter the corner of time. It just depends on whether you can realize it."

"Hey, what are its characteristics?"

"Watch your feet. Don't use your eyes, use your mind to perceive."

Lynch subconsciously lowered his head and sensed with his body and mind, and then endless surprise surged in his mind.
