Chapter 470: Meeting the Hound of Tindalos Again
Andes Mountains, Sunset Peak.
The snow reflects the sun's rays, and the white snow reflects a golden splendor.
On the mountain ridge where the mountain wind is raging and cold as a knife, a city built of green boulders is quietly crawling. Above the city, the gray fog condenses into a giant umbrella, and it remains motionless despite the cold mountain wind.
On the boulder, the same kind of relief is carved, like a gray tree, without branches and leaves, only the main trunk, with black tentacles growing below, and circles of brown pustules.
The position of the tree crown is like a carnivorous plant, and there are still large tentacles on the skin. The most bizarre 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, the carving is lifelike.
If there are normal creatures here, they will definitely feel the strong malice emanating from the relief.
Suddenly, the city's boulders 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 the same as the reliefs on the city wall.
A group of wolf-like creatures ran out of the building, but they were taller, with eyes as hot as charcoal, protruding jaws, and a long purple tongue like a snake in their mouths.
They exuded black fog, and their images changed slightly every moment.
There were eleven wolf-like creatures in this group. They stood up with their legs, touched their claws together, and chanted in Hermetic language:
"Great Kusuen, you are the beginning and the end of all things, and all people live in your dreams."
They didn't know why the gods were angry, and they prayed in fear.
If Clown was here, he would definitely recognize that he had dealt with this kind of wolf-like creature.
This city enshrines the Old One Kusuen, 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 Kusuen.
A few days ago, a group of local natives spent a huge price to summon Kusuen, but the great gods were not satisfied with their tribute.
Because these people have successively lost many of the gods' creations, but have not spread more faith.
Finally, the gods killed all the natives and used their flesh and blood essence to create an avatar that carries a small part of the gods' consciousness.
The long years of wandering in the desolate interstellar made Kusuen feel empty and bored. It chose to descend to this world with living creatures to taste the negative emotions of higher creatures such as fear, sadness, and despair.
In short, the avatar carrying part of Kusuen's consciousness wanted to come to this world to play in the wild, but the avatar was gone!
"I have 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.
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 provoke me into pieces."
The magnificent and ethereal voice resounded through the minds of many Tindalos hounds, and the gods gave them clear instructions.
When the voice of the gods disappeared, the gray fog above 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 hounds, roaring a few times in a low voice, and immediately five thinner hounds lowered their heads and roared in response.
Then, the five hounds turned around and ran out of this city that should not appear on the mountain.
After swallowing more than a dozen high-quality heart-clearing potions, the dying fire dragon was in a better state, and the golden flames that lingered like a thorn in its broken scales dimmed a little.
Clown pulled his hand away from the dragon's body, and saw dozens of silver threads covered with black spots on 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. In this way, even if the Duke is not in the territory, the safety of Shattrath will be guaranteed.
The information of the Flame Dragon and the Silver Dragon is known to the core leaders of the Duke's territory. There is a sixth-level extraordinary creature in the territory, and everyone is full of confidence in the future of the territory.
Now that the Flame Dragon is injured, Melissa's guess about the Duke's strength is confirmed. The other party may have broken through the limit and entered the Stigma Gold realm.
A single blow severely injured a sixth-level creature. Except for the gods, no silver-level creature can do it.
Stigma Gold, just thinking about this word made her tremble with excitement.
"Not good, the law of the sun has caused too much damage to it. Fortunately, the law it mastered is the same as mine, otherwise it would have died."
Clown sighed slightly. The power of the gods was extremely sublimated, and the suppression of low-level extraordinary creatures was too great.
In the eyes of the gods, the sixth-level extraordinary creatures are just stronger ants.
The result at the moment is 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 are of the same origin, the quality of the laws is as different as heaven and earth.
"Is it in danger of life?"
Melissa's heart was uneasy. If the Flame Dragon died because of its own accidental injury, it would be too sad. It should have played a greater role.
"Its internal organs were also burned by the sun law. The situation is quite critical, but the Heart Cleansing Potion has a good effect on this symptom. I gave it to it at no cost, and it can save its life."
Clown shook his head slightly, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
If he clashes with other gods in the future, whether it is the Flame Dragon, the Silver Dragon, or the Tamed Spirit, I am afraid that they will not be able to help him in terms of combat power.
The special effects of reducing pollution provided by the Taming and Spirit Controlling techniques will be of some help in fighting against the evil gods of the Dark Law, but he began to worry that too strong pollution would be shared by the Tamed or Spirit Controlling, which would cause fatal damage to them.
Clown stopped talking and began to communicate with the Fire Seed Cube. When he learned that he had killed most of the undead creatures, he immediately praised the Cube.
The wisdom of the Cube is now equivalent to that of an eight or nine-year-old human child, and it is the kind of child who has received a good education. Hearing the praise from the master, he immediately imitated laughter.
In Clown's sea of consciousness, cheerful voices kept echoing.
He poured all the Qingxin potions in his hand into the Flame Dragon's stomach, and then took out more than a hundred drops of Moonlight for treatment, and finally stabilized the Flame Dragon's injuries.
The flames on the scales of the Flame Dragon have gone out, and the injuries of its internal organs, which were roasted three-quarters of the way through, have stabilized. It can now fly.
Clown was still worried, so he took out ten drops of moonlight to feed it, and then ordered the Flame Dragon to take Melissa and fly back to Moya Castle in Shattrath.
He had no idea where these enemies came from or whether there were any more enemies. The Flame Dragon and Melissa might encounter some danger if they stayed here.
And the purpose of his choice to stay here was to continue the pursuit.
Yesterday's battle gave him great confidence. Now the sun essence and moonlight 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.
However, during the safe period, he would not fight with enemies at the level of gods again. He pursued them entirely to find out the details of the enemy 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 Clown used the power of the time hourglass to restore the enemy's route of action and continued to go deeper into the mountains.
Two hours later, he had traveled hundreds of kilometers in a straight line.
Suddenly, he felt a familiar law fluctuation coming from the void around him, and he immediately became alert.
The void does not refer to the empty space around him, but to a world in another dimension, similar to two pieces of paper overlapping each other. Their positions in space seem the same, but they are actually different.
Five Hounds of Tindalos jumped out of the void, blocking the front, back, left, right, and top of Clown.
Seeing these familiar creatures, Clown's eyes were cold, and he released the Sun Domain almost at the moment the enemy jumped out.
As the domain unfolded, he released Time Stillness.
Having dealt with such enemies before, he knew what method he could use to maximize the attack effect.
The Hounds of Tindalos froze in the air, with horror in their fierce eyes. Their attacks had failed, but they had never been defeated head-on, and the law power used by the enemy was exactly the same as theirs.
Clown discovered a very interesting phenomenon. When two opponents with 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 is directly offset.
The attacks of these hounds contain the power of time, but it is not as strong as the power of law he comprehended, and it did not cause any damage to him.
He suddenly understood the meaning of what the Sun God did. It is indeed difficult for gods who comprehend the same law to coexist.
No god would like the feeling of life and death being controlled by others. The better choice is to kill the danger.
The battle was not suspenseful. These hounds did not reach the level of gods, and they lost control of the law of time. They were immediately roasted half-cooked by the sun field.
The enemy was very close to him. Clown subconsciously waved his fist and released Lushan Shenglongba at the hound facing him.
His fist was wrapped in a golden light ball, and he punched in a bow step.
The power was transmitted from the soles of his feet to his waist, and then to his fists. Before the hounds attacked could scream, they were smashed into a pile of flesh and blood by the violent power, like a smashed watermelon.
A simple and plain punch directly solved a hound, and a warm current flowed into Klauen's body from the void.
Killing this thing can actually increase proficiency?
A smile appeared on the corners of Klauen's mouth, and his body attacked the hounds on the right and behind in turn as if teleporting.
A dull sound, two more hounds died on the spot.
Perhaps because they also used the law of time, the other two hounds broke free from the restraints of time stillness, and their bodies instantly became virtual and disappeared on the spot.
Klauen used the same trick to release time stillness, but did not capture the enemy's trace. He immediately released the void rift and entered the time wormhole, but did not find anything.
After returning to the material plane, he immediately took off, hoping to find the enemy's trace. After searching for a long time, he found nothing.
He sighed slightly and summoned a golden wall.
[Golden Light Spell: 778516/1000000; Level 6]
[Holy Light Field (Tai Chi): 196835/2000000; Level 1]
[Flame Dragon Breath: 198267/500000; Level 3]
[Silver Dragon Howling Moon: 196804/500000; Level 3]
"I was careless. Two of them escaped. My proficiency is gone."
Crown sighed to the sky. The three hounds actually provided him with more than 30,000 proficiency points, which was quite generous.
He immediately released the time reversal, trying to catch up with the enemy along the route of the enemy's escape.
How could he bear to let go of the evil creature that could increase his proficiency!
However, a scene that surprised him appeared. There was no trace of the hounds in his vision, and even the route they came from could not be revealed.
He released the time reversal several times in a row, and the result was the same.
"It turns out that time reversal is not omnipotent. There are also things walking outside the time flow. I wonder if my traces can be observed by such creatures."
Klauen murmured to himself and stopped dwelling on this issue.
I am lucky if I get it, and I am dead if I lose it. As long as there is a chance to meet again in the future, the proficiency that escaped will eventually return to his hands.
He continued to search along the direction of the sheep-headed monster. After another day, he went deep into the core area of the mountain.
Klauen looked up at a huge larch standing proudly on the top of the mountain and sighed helplessly.
It has been more than 72 hours since the enemy walked in this area, and he has lost any clues.
At this moment, the sun was setting in the west, and everything on the earth was coated with a layer of orange-red light. The edge of the cloud layer, which was as compact as fish scales, was inlaid with a golden edge.
The rose-gold wings behind Clown spread gently. He was unwilling to give up if he could not find the enemy. Letting these enemies stay in the mountains and multiply would be a huge threat to the territory.
He rose to a high altitude, and the light of the setting sun shone on his wings, showing the mottled years. He released his extraordinary vision and searched for every suspicious place.
As the search progressed, he became more and more disappointed. He found nothing except the endless mountains and forests.
Just when he was about to give up, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a stone building in the mountains.
With his wings flapping gently, Clown flew at supersonic speed.
After a while, he saw a group of buildings. It was unusually quiet here, and the ground was full of blood and bones.
The air was filled with a cold breath, and the sound of insects was not heard.
Clown stacked up all kinds of "armor" for himself, and after preparing for the battle, he flew around the building complex, scattering five scout beetles, and he himself left the range of the building complex.
When he arrived at a relatively safe position, he released the Fire Cube and began to connect to the beetle's vision.
The Fire Cube changed into a metal golem, guarding vigilantly
Twenty minutes later, the beetle "drone" the entire building complex and reported to Clown:
'No information about the existence of any living creatures was found, and no undead creatures appeared, but traces of undead creatures' activities not long ago were found. '
He identified the details of the building and finally concluded that this was a gathering place for cultists, now empty, and there were traces of blood and flesh alchemy arrays inside.
