Chapter Ninety-Five: The Hound Fang
The moment the revolver appeared in the palm of Hugue's hand, a groove in the second ring of the metal disc welcomed its new occupant.
And what appeared in it was the beast with strange whereabouts and hideous and twisted shape.
It lay silently in the recess space, its elongated skull, its dark red eyes glowing with bursts of light.
Just like the changes that occurred when feeding the children of the Abyss before, the magic groove that houses the wolf beast is also associated with a delicate pattern and a slot in the center.
This time, it was the Messenger in the Mirror who was linked.
Compared with the touch of Karon, which is difficult to express his wishes and thoughts normally, the messenger in the mirror has a very distinct advantage in this aspect, so at this moment, Xiuge saw that the messenger in the mirror seemed to be very happy and joyful, and it actually stepped out of the groove where it was sheltering, and came to the dwelling place where the wolf beast was located with a face that was very similar to Xiuge.
There was no conflict of any kind between the two, on the contrary, the fierce and strange monster seemed to be extremely afraid of the Mirror Messenger, and it prostrated itself in front of the Mirror Messenger, allowing the other to touch its head and body.
Before Xiuge could figure out the relationship between the two, an unfamiliar message slowly floated from the deepest part of the spiritual world, just like in the past, this message slowly dispersed in Xiuge's consciousness.
"The hounds of the court roam the courtyards, tracking never ceases, and the hunt never ends...... This is your boundless hunting ground, praise the great invisible wolf!"
Siug quietly repeated the strange words in his head.
It has a peculiar shape.
Hearing him say this, Xiuge shrugged his shoulders and accepted the suggestion.
"In other words, there are a total of five spare rounds, and it takes time and mana to replenish them after each shot......
He is really unsure of this strange world that seems to exist on the spiritual level, but is full of reality......
There was another tingling sensation on the wrist of his right hand.
He had a vague feeling that this "Hound Fang" should not be as simple as a simple firearm, but it was not feasible to test its true function and limits at present.
However, to his surprise, when he used his hands covered in hard black skin to remove one of the rhizomes of the juvenile killing vine from the wooden box, the black mist that was locked above the large flower pot actually dissipated on its own......
The disintegration did not stop with the death of his goal, and Siug was surprised to see that the phenomenon was still spreading in all directions, so the walls where the garbage cans were clinging, the propaganda posters on the walls, the floor and the carpet laid on the ground, and the two pots of greenery placed next to it......
After a few seconds, the spread of disintegration finally stopped.
Theseus scoffed, so Hug gave up the idea of waiting, relieved the Touch of Calon and the Rat of Galloping Rat, and then walked towards Theseus.
It looks like I've been torn apart somewhere.
The flower pot looked very calm, at least much more "calm" than Xiuge's mood.
….
Theseus waved his hand casually, "The more the merrier, it's simple, right?"
The metal trash can was hit in an instant, and then, when the "sacrifice" was completed, the same disintegration that had appeared on the court hound returned, and Xiuge saw that the metal trash can was quickly dismantled into equal pieces under some force that he could not comprehend, and before the pieces could fall to the ground, they fell further apart and finally turned into a piece of powder.
Xiuge looked at the emissary and the hound in the mirror, who were in close communication, and did not interrupt them to "catch up", but instead looked at the revolver in his hand.
It is true that Shuge has raised some green plants at home, but those cute little plants are completely different from the writhing and energetic killing vine rhizomes in front of him, as they are based on the many magical creatures in the forest
The terrifying plants of prey, even the rhizomes of their juveniles, had already shown terrible aggression, and in the process of planting them in pots, Shuge could even hear the sound of the spikes constantly cutting through the hard shell of his palm.
In view of the huge annoyance caused by the "Court Hound" before, Shug made all preparations before the start of this round of sacrifices, not only did he attach the basic protective ritual to himself, but also summoned the Touch of Calon and the Running Rat Snik, and put them on standby, and even the newly acquired Hound Tooth was pinned to his waist.
There was a laziness in Theseus's indistinguishable tone, and Xiuge was very suspicious that this guy he hadn't seen for several days was planning to trick himself, but the flower pot in front of him was indeed extremely normal, and under the perception of magic, there was nothing unusual about the dirt inside.
Under the action of this bullet, the wall and the ground were "eroded" by that force into an extremely regular cube depression, as if someone had carried out an incredible project in that area.
It wasn't the first time he'd heard the words "abyss" and "court."
Like some kind of understated but extremely precious gem, the dim light of the dream shelter only barely penetrates its surface and reflects a few blurred lines.
"Hound Fang...... Well, unpretentious name."
Shuge slightly stimulated the magic in his body, so he felt that this strange firearm was "connected" with his palm with the help of magic, as if the firearm itself had become an extension of the arm, a part of the body......
It was a huge flower pot, and Xiuge remembered that it should have been a fortune tree planted here, but in the dream shelter, the fortune tree in the pot had long since disappeared, and only a large pot of dirt and stones was left here, and Xiuge even ignored it when he first dreamed about it, until he saw that the black mist text appeared on the top of the flower pot, and he realized that there were also secrets hidden here.
Xiuge turned his wrist, and sure enough, one of the wolf fang tattoos on his wrist had already dimmed, and Xiuge could feel that the dull tattoo was now continuing to draw magic from his spiritual world, although it was very slow, but it was real.
….
Shug glanced around at the desks that had been badly damaged and destroyed in the previous battle, and thankfully the fight with the "Court Hounds" did not have any effect on the vessels that housed the ancient creations, which made Shug breathe a sigh of relief.
The material that composes it is actually a dull black-purple crystal.
"See what I'm doing? I remember you used to keep plants at home? The Killing Vine is no different from them."
Shug flipped through the revolver and continued to examine its structure.
"Don't look at it, the progress bar doesn't speed up just because you're being stared at."
"Wandering."
When he got closer, he noticed that Theseus's image and appearance seemed to have changed a little from before, although he still looked like a shadow figure who couldn't distinguish his appearance, the dress he was wearing was slightly defaced, and the cuff of his right hand was even torn open.
"These strange beasts, known as the 'Court Hounds,' seem to have always been the defense force of the Abyss Court, and they are like real hounds, tracking and capturing prey for their masters and the court. As for the 'Great Invisible Wolf' mentioned at the end of that passage, what kind of god belongs to the Lost Age?"
He was ready to fight straight in the face of a drastic change in the situation.
It was also the first time for him to engage in high-intensity confrontations and battles directly in the dream shelter.
There is no need for Xiuge to "feed", nor does he directly decompose and absorb the rhizomes of the killing vine in Xiuge's hands.
After witnessing the weapon's power, Shug stopped trying and reined in his magic, and the Hound Fang in his hand dissipated without a trace.
A voice suddenly floated far away, and Xiuge turned back in surprise, only to find that Theseus had appeared in front of the computer again, as if he had never left, concentrating on the mouse and keyboard, and his chaotic face was facing the computer screen "intently".
Although he did not know the habits of the killing vine, he had also heard of the plant's strong vitality and adaptability, so he very violently buried the two struggling rhizomes into the depths of the pot, and strangely enough, the moment they were buried in the earth, they immediately calmed down as if nothing had happened.
The computer was still on, and the game was still paused, but the guy still didn't show up, so Hug didn't look for Theseus anymore, but went straight to his target.
It was the image of the "Court Hound" - the abyssal beast with its indistinct silhouette and narrow head roaming in the dark purple crystals of light and shadow, its eyes twinkling slightly, and above its form, a line of ancient writing.
So Xiug slowly lifted it, aimed at the trash can placed at the other end of the hallway, and pulled the trigger.
For the results of this round of "sacrifice", Xiuge is still very satisfied, even if the "Hound Fang" is still only a powerful magic weapon with limited bullets so far, but judging from its performance, this weapon is enough to fill the gap in his current hole cards.
….
The overall structure of the gun was not much different from the Wheel Crystallizer that Xiuge had used before, but because the whole body of the gun was composed of that kind of deep-colored crystals, Xiuge did not find the magic ritual engraved on it, but found the patterns and patterns engraved on the side of the gun body and on the nest of the wheel.
The roar sounded, not at all like a gunshot, but like the greedy roar of a court hound in the face of its prey.
Despite the mysterious crystalline composition, the pistol wasn't heavy, at least for Shoge.
Xiuge frowned slightly, and said to himself, "What does this mean?"
At first glance, it may seem very elegant, not unlike the wheel crystallizer that the nobles would carry with them, but in fact, if you start to look closely at the firearm, you will see that the weapon is not actually made of wood and metal at all.
The wheel was movable, with a total of five bullet nests, but Shug had no way to take out the bullets that had been filled into it and observed, he only felt that the color of the bullets seemed to be very similar to the "wolf tooth tattoo" on his wrist.
Shug lifted his feet and walked out of the mess, "Alright, I still have one more trouble to deal with, and I hope there won't be any more accidents in the future."
However, the result of the "sacrifice" that Siug had hoped for did not materialize.
The place where the "Juvenile Killing Vine Rhizome" needs to be sacrificed is on the other side, near the computer that Theseus used before.
……
Other than that, nothing else has changed.
Shug moved his wrist.
Almost in the blink of an eye, it all went through similar results.
"The Mirror Emissary resides in the core of the Abyss and is the servant of the 'Palace', and in this passage just now, as the 'invisible wolf, the hounds of the descendants also use the Abyss Court as their place of residence...... It seems that both should be subordinate to the same system."
It's the same as the words in the sanctuary that block ancient creations.
After Xiuge completed the "planting" link, the black mist that blocked the flower pot reappeared, only this time it did not show the symbolic text, but quietly suspended in front of it, as if it was simply acting as a blockade.
"It means that you can plant it directly."
Shug smashed his mouth, he held the murderous vine rhizome in his hand that was writhing and constantly trying to grow spikes to attack him, and after a moment's hesitation, he asked, "Do you plant both?"
"Tsk......"
This made Xiuge feel a little
Confused, as a self-proclaimed god with elusive power, there was no reason for him to appear in such a form...... He could now even see through the gaps in Theseus' clothes and see the black shadows that made up his body.
Theseus didn't pay much attention to Hug's scrutiny, he skillfully kept a file for his previous game, and then returned to the main screen to restart a new game.
Unexpectedly, Theseus did not choose the strange-looking races in this game, but directly clicked to the "humans" at the top of the list.
While waiting for the game to read, Theseus tugged at his gown, explaining, "I went out and experienced life for a while, and it became like this......
