Chapter 470: Encountering the Hound of Tindalos Again
Andes Mountains, Sunset Peak.
The accumulated snow reflects the sun's rays, creating a golden and magnificent scene.
A city built of green boulders was quietly crawling on the icy mountain ridges where the mountain wind was raging. Above the city, the gray fog condensed into a giant umbrella, standing still despite the harsh mountain wind.
The same kind of relief was carved on the boulder, resembling a large grey tree, with no branches or leaves, only a main trunk, with black tentacles growing underneath, and circles of brown pustules.
The crown of the tree looks like a piranha plant, with large tentacles still on the skin. The weirdest thing is that there is a giant eye in the middle.
There are black vertical pupils in the yellow-brown eyes. Although it is a dead object, it is carved to look lifelike.
If there were any normal creatures here, they would definitely feel the strong malice emanating from the relief.
Suddenly, the huge rocks in the city shook violently, and a large number of small stones fell down.
The gray fog in the sky was affected by an unknown force, and a huge eye suddenly appeared in the gray fog. The details of the eye were almost identical to the relief on the city wall.
A group of wolf-like creatures ran out of the building, but they were taller, with eyes as hot as coals, protruding jaws, and a long purple snake-like tongue in their mouths.
Black mist emanates from them, and their appearance changes subtly every moment.
There were eleven wolf-like creatures in total. They stood up on their legs, touched their paws together, and chanted in the Hermetic language: "Great Kusuun, you are the beginning and the end of all things. All people live in your dreams."
They didn't know why the gods were angry and prayed in fear and trepidation.
If Crown were here, he would recognize that he had dealt with this wolf-like creature before.
This city is dedicated to the Old One Culsuen, whose true body is in a corner of a certain dimension in the starry sky. These wolf-like creatures are called the Hounds of Tindalos.
The purpose of these predators from other dimensions coming to this world is to spread the faith of Kusuun.
Some time ago, a group of local natives spent a great deal of money to summon Kusuen, but the great spirit was not satisfied with their tribute.
Because these people have destroyed many of the gods' creations, but have not spread more faith.
Finally, the god killed all the natives and used their flesh and blood to create an avatar that carried a small part of the god's consciousness.
The long years of wandering in the desolate interstellar space made Kusuen feel empty and bored. He chose to descend to this world with living things to experience the negative emotions of higher creatures such as fear, sadness, despair, etc.
In short, the clone carrying part of Kusuen's consciousness wanted to come to this world to fight in the wild, but the clone was gone! "I lost contact with the clone that I used to walk in this world. I am sure he is dead, and the last breath of life appeared outside this mountain range.
Find out about him, and when the time is right, I will come to this world in person and tear the flesh and soul of the enemy who dares to challenge me into pieces."
A majestic and ethereal voice resounded through the minds of many hounds of Tindalos, and the gods gave them clear instructions.
When the voice of the gods disappeared, the gray fog over the city dissipated, and the roars of the hounds echoed in the city one after another.
The strongest hound walked out and stood in front of the other hounds, growling lowly a few times. Immediately, five weaker hounds lowered their heads and growled in response.
Then, the five hounds turned around and ran out of the city that should not be on the mountain.
After swallowing a dozen bottles of high-quality heart-clearing potions, the dying fire dragon's condition improved a little, and the golden flames that lingered like a cancer in its broken scales dimmed a little.
Klauen pulled his hand away from the dragon's body, only to see dozens of silver threads covered in black spots attached to it.
Melissa asked with concern: "How is it?"
The more powerful people there are in the territory, the safer it is to live in it, so that even if the Duke is not in the territory, the safety of Shattrath will be guaranteed.
The information about the Fire Dragon and the Silver Dragon was known to all the core leaders of the Dukedom. With the sixth-order extraordinary creatures in charge of the territory, everyone was full of confidence in the future of the territory.
Now that Yanlong was injured, Melissa's guess about the Duke's strength was confirmed. The other party might have broken through the limit and entered the Golden Stigma realm.
A sixth-level creature could be severely injured with just one strike. No silver-level creature could do that except for gods.
Stigmata gold! She was shaking with excitement just thinking about this word.
"Not good. The Law of the Sun has caused it too much damage. Fortunately, the laws it mastered are from the same source as mine, otherwise it would have died."
Clown sighed slightly. The power at the divine level had been elevated to the extreme, and the suppression on low-level extraordinary creatures was too great.
In the eyes of gods, sixth-order extraordinary creatures are nothing more than stronger ants.
The current result was that he deliberately reduced the impact behind him when releasing the domain. Even so, the Flame Dragon almost died in the Sun Domain.
Although the laws have the same origin, the quality of the laws is as different as heaven and earth.
"Is there any danger to life?"
Melissa felt uneasy. It would be too sad if the Flame Dragon died because of an accidental injury by its own people. It should have played a greater role.
"Its internal organs have also been burned by the law of the sun. Its condition is quite critical. However, the Heart-Clearing Potion has a very good effect on this symptom. I will use it on it regardless of the cost. It can save its life."
Klauen shook his head slightly, feeling somewhat disappointed.
If there is a conflict with other gods in the future, whether it is the Fire Dragon, the Silver Dragon, or the Tamed Beast and the Spirit, I am afraid that they will not be able to provide him with any help in terms of combat power.
On the contrary, the special effects of reducing pollution provided by animal taming and spirit control would be of some help in the battle against the evil god of darkness. However, he began to worry that too strong pollution would be shared by animal taming or spirit control, which would cause fatal damage to them.
Clown stopped talking and began to communicate with the Fire Cube. When he learned that he had killed most of the undead creatures, he immediately praised the Cube.
The intelligence of the Rubik's Cube is now equivalent to that of an eight or nine-year-old human child, and a well-educated child at that. Upon hearing the praise from its owner, it immediately imitates laughter.
The cheerful voice continued to echo in Clown's sea of consciousness.
He poured all the heart-clearing potion in his hand into Yanlong's stomach, and then took out more than a hundred drops of moonlight for treatment, and finally stabilized Yanlong's injuries.
The flames on the fire dragon's scales have gone out, and the injuries to its three-quarters-rare internal organs have stabilized. It can now fly.
Clown was still worried, so he took out ten drops of moonlight to feed the dragon, and then ordered the fire dragon to take Melissa and fly back to Moya Castle in Shattrath.
He had no idea where these enemies came from or whether there would be more enemies. Yanlong and Melissa might encounter danger if they stayed here.
The reason why he chose to stay here was to continue the pursuit.
Yesterday's battle gave him great confidence. The sun's essence and moon's essence stored in his body were still sufficient. Even if he encountered two more evil gods similar to the sheep-headed monster, he could eat them up.
However, during the safe period, he would no longer fight with enemies at the god level. He pursued them only to find out the enemy's true background and take precautions in the future.
After all, he had consumed a lot of his golden blood, and his current strength was weaker than before he came here.
Time reversal was activated, and with the help of the power of the time hourglass, Clown began to restore the enemy's route of movement and continued to go deeper into the mountains.
Two hours later, he had traveled several hundred kilometers in a straight line.
Suddenly, he felt a familiar fluctuation of laws coming from the void around him and immediately became alert.
The void does not refer to the empty space all around, but to a world in another dimension, similar to two pieces of paper overlapping each other. Their positions in space seem to be the same, but in fact they are not.
Five Hounds of Tindalos jumped out from the void, blocking Clown in front, behind, left, right, and above.
Seeing these familiar creatures, Crown's eyes turned cold, and he released the Sun Field almost at the moment the enemy pounced.
As the realm unfolded, he released time to stand still.
Having dealt with such enemies before, he understood what method he should use to maximize the effect of his attack.
The hounds of Tindalos froze in mid-air, fear revealed in their fierce eyes. Their attacks had failed before, but they had never been defeated head-on, and the power of the laws used by the enemy was exactly the same as theirs.
Crown discovered a very interesting phenomenon. When opponents using the same power of law attack each other, whoever has the stronger power of law can cause more damage, and the attack of the weaker one will be directly offset.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The attacks of these hounds contained the power of time, but it was not as strong as the power of the laws he had comprehended, and did not cause him any harm.
He suddenly understood the significance of the Sun God's actions. It was indeed difficult for gods who understood the same laws to coexist.
No god would like the feeling of having life and death controlled by others. The better choice is to eliminate the danger.
There was no suspense in the battle. These hounds had not reached the level of gods and had lost control of the law of time, so they were immediately roasted half-cooked by the sun domain.
The enemy was very close to him, and Clown subconsciously swung his fist and released Lushan Shenglongba at the hound facing him.
His fist was wrapped in a golden light and he lunged forward to punch.
The power was transferred from the soles of his feet to his waist, and then to his fists. Before the attacked hound could even scream, it was hammered into a pile of flesh and blood by the violent force, like a smashed watermelon.
With a simple and plain punch, he killed a hound directly, and a warm current from the void flowed into Klauen's body.
Killing this thing can actually increase proficiency? A smile appeared on Crown's lips, and his body seemed to teleport, attacking the hounds to the right and behind one by one.
With a dull sound, two more hounds died on the spot.
Perhaps because they were also using the law of time, the other two hounds broke free from the constraints of time and their bodies instantly became ethereal and disappeared on the spot.
Klauen used the same trick again to release time stillness, but failed to capture any trace of the enemy. He immediately released the void rift and entered the time wormhole, but still found nothing.
After returning to the material plane, he immediately took off, hoping to find traces of the enemy, but after searching for a long time, he found nothing.
He sighed slightly and summoned a wall of gold.
[Golden Light Mantra: 778516/1000000; Level 6]
[Holy Light Field (Tai Chi): 196835/2000000; Level 1]
[Breath of Flame Dragon: 198267/500000; Level 3]
[Silver Dragon Roaring Moon: 196804/500000; Level 3]
"I was careless and let two of them escape. That's because of my proficiency."
Crown sighed to the sky. The three hounds actually provided him with more than 30,000 points of proficiency, which was quite generous.
He immediately released the time rewinding function, trying to catch up with the enemy along the route they escaped.
How could he let go of an evil creature that could increase his proficiency?
However, he was surprised to see that there was no trace of the hounds in his field of vision, and even the route they took could not be seen.
He released the time reversal several times in succession, and the result was the same every time.
"It turns out that time travel is not omnipotent. There are also things walking outside the flow of time. I wonder if my traces can be observed by such creatures."
Crown muttered to himself and stopped dwelling on the issue.
If I get it, I'm lucky, if I lose it, I'm doomed. As long as there is a chance to meet again in the future, the proficiency in escape will eventually return to my hands.
He continued to search in the direction the sheep-headed monster was moving, and after another day, he went deep into the core area of the mountains.
Crown looked up at a huge larch tree standing proudly on the top of the mountain and sighed helplessly.
It had been more than 72 hours since the enemy walked in the area and he had lost any clues.
At this moment, the sun is setting in the west, and everything on earth is coated with a layer of orange-red light. The edge of the clouds, which are as compact as fish scales, is inlaid with a golden edge.
The rose-gold wings behind Clown spread out gently. He would not give up until he could find the enemy. Allowing these enemies to stay in the mountains and multiply would be a huge threat to the territory.
He rose high into the sky, the light from the setting sun illuminating his wings with the mottled marks of time. He released his extraordinary vision and searched every suspicious place.
As the search progressed, he became more and more disappointed. He found nothing except endless mountains, forests and wilderness.
Just when he was about to give up, he suddenly caught a glimpse of what seemed to be a stone building in the forest.
With its wings flapping gently, Crown flew at supersonic speed.
After a while, he saw a group of buildings. It was extremely quiet here, and the ground was covered with blood and bones.
There was a chilly atmosphere in the air, and not even the sound of insects could be heard.
Klauen covered himself with various types of "armor" and after preparing for battle, he flew around the building complex, scattering five reconnaissance beetles, and then he left the range of the building complex.
After reaching a relatively safe position, he released the Fire Cube and began to connect to the beetle's field of vision.
The Fire Cube transformed into a metal golem, guarding vigilantly. Twenty minutes later, the beetle "drone-photographed" the entire building complex and reported the situation to Crown:
'No information about the existence of any living creatures was found, nor were there any undead creatures, but traces of undead creatures' activities were found not long ago.'
He identified the details of the building and finally concluded that this was a gathering place for cultists. It was now empty and there were traces of something similar to a flesh and blood alchemy array inside.
