The sun is high - #96 - Chapter 95 Hound’s Teeth

The moment the revolver appeared in Shuge’s palm, another groove welcomed its new guest in the second ring of the metal disc.

And what appeared in it was the beast with strange movements and a ferocious and twisted shape.

It lay quietly in the space in the groove, with its long and strange head, its dark red eyes constantly emitting bursts of light.

Just like the changes that occurred when feeding the descendants of Dark Abyss before, the magic groove that houses the wolf beast is also connected to the centermost slot by fine patterns.

This time, it was the messenger in the mirror who was linked.

Compared with Charron’s Touch, which has difficulty expressing its wishes and thoughts normally, the Messenger in the Mirror has a very clear 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 Walking out of the groove where he lived, he came to the residence of the wolf beast 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 messenger in the mirror. It crawled in front of the messenger in the mirror and allowed the other party to touch its head and body.

Before Xiuge could figure out the relationship between the two, a strange message slowly floated from the deepest part of the spiritual world. Just like in the past, this message slowly spread out in Xiuge’s consciousness.

“The hounds of the palace travel through the courtyard, the pursuit never stops, the hunt never ends… This is your boundless hunting ground, praise the great invisible wolf!”

Xiuge silently repeated the strange words in his mind.

This was not the first time he heard the words “dark abyss” and “palace”.

“The Messenger of the Mirror lives in the core of the Dark Abyss and is a slave of the “palace”. In the passage just mentioned, the hounds who are the descendants of the ‘Invisible Wolf’ also use the Dark Abyss Palace as their residence… It seems that both of them belong to the same system.”

“These weird beasts called ‘palace hounds’ seem to have always been the defense force of the Dark Abyss Palace. They are like real hounds, tracking and capturing prey for their masters and the palace. As for the last part of that sentence The ‘great invisible wolf’ mentioned is probably some kind of god from a lost era, right?”

Shuge looked at the messenger and the hound in the mirror who were having a close “communication”, and did not interrupt their “reminiscing”, but instead looked at the revolver in his hand.

Its shape is very peculiar.

At first glance, it seems very elegant, and it seems no different from the rotating crystal guns that nobles carry with them. But in fact, as long as you start to look at this firearm carefully, you will find that this weapon is not actually made of wood at all. and made of metal.

The material it is made of is actually a dull black-purple crystal.

Like some kind of low-key but extremely precious gemstone, when the dim light in the Dream Sanctuary shines on it, it can only barely penetrate its surface and reflect some blurred lines.

The overall structure of the firearm is not much different from the wheel crystal gun Shuge used before. However, because the entire firearm is composed of deep-colored crystals, Shuge has no way to discover the magic ritual engraved on it. , but I found the patterns and patterns engraved on the side of the gun body and the revolver cylinder.

That was the image of the “Palace Hound” – a dark abyss beast with an extremely vague outline and a long and narrow head, lurking in the light and shadow of dark purple crystals. Its eyes flickered slightly, and above its figure, There is a line of ancient text.

It is exactly the same as the words in the sanctuary that sealed the ancient creation.

“Hound’s Teeth…well, a modest name.”

Shuge looked over the revolver and continued to examine its structure.

The wheel is movable, and there are five bullet chambers in total. However, Shuge has no way to take out the bullets that have been filled in and observe them. He only feels that the color of these bullets seems to be very similar to the “wolf fang tattoo” on his wrist. .

Although the entire body is made of that mysterious crystal, this pistol is not heavy, at least it is very handy for Shuge.

Xiuge slightly stimulated the magic power in his body, so he felt that this strange firearm was “connected” to his palm with the help of magic power, as if the gun itself became an extension of his arm. Become a part of the body…

So Xiuge slowly raised it, aimed at the trash can placed at the other end of the corridor, and pulled the trigger.

There was a tingling sensation on the wrist of my right hand again.

There was a roar. It didn’t sound like a gunshot at all, but more like the greedy roar of a palace hound when facing its prey.

The metal trash can was hit in an instant, and then, when the “sacrifice” was completed, the disintegration phenomenon that appeared on the palace hound happened again. Xiuge saw that the metal trash can collapsed in the blink of an eye. It was quickly dismantled into equal fragments under some force that it could not understand. Before these fragments fell to the ground, they further disintegrated and finally turned into powder on the ground.

The disintegration did not stop because of the demise of his target. Xiuge was surprised to see that this phenomenon was still spreading in all directions, so the trash can was against the wall, the posters on the wall, the ground, and the materials laid on the ground. Carpet, and two pots of green plants placed next to it…

Almost in the blink of an eye, it all went through a similar outcome.

After a few seconds, the spread of disintegration finally stopped.

Under the action of this bullet, the wall and the ground were “eroded” by that force to create an extremely regular cubic depression, as if someone had specially carried out incredible engineering in that area.

After witnessing the power of this weapon, Shuge stopped trying and restrained his magic power, and the Hound’s Fang in his hand disappeared without a trace.

Xiuge turned his wrist, and sure enough, one of the wolf fang tattoos on his wrist had faded, and Xiuge could feel that the faded tattoo was now continuously coming from his spiritual world. Drawing magic power from it, although the speed is very slow, it is actually carried out.

“In other words, there are a total of five rounds of ammunition, and each time you shoot, you need to spend time and magic power to replenish…”

Xiuge moved his wrist.

He had a vague feeling that this “Hound’s Tooth” should not be just a simple firearm, but currently it was not feasible to test its true functions and limits.

Xiuge is still very satisfied with the results of this round of “sacrifice”. Even though so far “Hound’s Tooth” is still just a powerful magic gun using limited bullets, but judging from its performance, this The weapons are enough to fill the gap in his current trump card.

Xiuge glanced at the desks around him that had been severely damaged and destroyed in the previous battle. Fortunately, the battle with the “Palace Hound” did not have any impact on the containers storing ancient creations. Let Xiuge relax a little.

It was also the first time for him to directly engage in high-intensity confrontation and battle in the Dream Sanctuary.

He was really unsure about this strange world that seemed to exist on a spiritual level, but was full of reality…

Xiuge walked out of the mess: “Okay, I still have a problem to deal with. I hope nothing will happen again.”

…

The place where the “Young Killer Vine Rhizome” needs to be sacrificed is on the other side, near the computer Theseus used before.

The computer was still on, and the game on it was still in a paused state, but the guy still didn’t show up, so Xiuge stopped looking for traces of Theseus and went straight to his target.

It was a huge flowerpot. Xiuge remembered that a money tree should have been planted here before, but in the dream sanctuary, the money tree in the flowerpot had long since disappeared, and only a large pot of soil and stones remained here. , Xiuge even ignored it when he first searched for the Dream Sanctuary. It wasn’t until he saw the black mist text floating on the flower pot that he realized that there was also a secret hidden here.

In view of the huge trouble caused by the “Palace Hound” before, Shuge made all preparations before the start of this round of sacrifices. He not only attached basic protective rituals to himself, but also summoned the Touch of Charron and Snitch, the running rat, asked them to stand by, and even the hound’s tooth he had just obtained was pinned to his waist.

He was ready to engage in a fierce battle if the situation changed dramatically.

However, to his surprise, when he used his hands covered with hard black horn to take out one of the young killer vine rhizomes from the wooden box, the black mist that blocked the top of the large flower pot actually dispersed on its own. …

There is no need for Shuge to “feed”, nor is there any need to directly decompose and absorb the roots of the murderous vine in Shuge’s hands.

Xiuge frowned slightly and said to himself: “What does this mean?”

“It means that you can plant it directly.”

A voice suddenly floated over from far away. Xiuge turned around in surprise, only to find that Theseus had appeared in front of the computer again at some point. It was as if he had never left, and he was concentrating on operating it. Mouse and keyboard, a chaotic face is facing the computer screen with “concentration”.

“Look what I’m doing? I remember you had plants at home before? Killer vines are no different from them.”

There was laziness in Theseus’s indistinguishable tone. Xiuge strongly suspected that this guy he hadn’t seen for several days was trying to trick him. However, the flowerpot in front of him was indeed extremely normal. Under the perception of magic power, the soil inside There is nothing unusual about it.

“Tsk…”

Xiuge smashed his mouth. He held the rhizome of the murderous vine in his hand that was twisting and trying to grow spikes to attack him. After a moment of hesitation, he asked: “Plant both roots?”

Theseus waved his hand casually: “The more, the merrier, this principle is very simple, right?”

“walk slowly.”

After hearing what he said, Shuge shrugged and accepted the suggestion.

Xiuge had indeed raised some green plants at home, but those cute little plants were completely different from the twisting and vibrant rhizomes of murderous vines in front of him. They were terrifying creatures that preyed on many magical creatures in the forest. Plants, even the rhizomes in their infancy, have shown very terrifying aggression. During the process of planting them into flower pots, Xiuge could even hear the sound of the sharp thorns constantly scratching the hard shell of his palms.

Although he didn’t understand the habits of killer vine, he had heard of the plant’s strong vitality and adaptability, so he violently buried the two struggling rhizomes deep in the flowerpot, saying Strangely enough, the moment they were buried in the soil, they immediately calmed down, as if nothing had happened.

However, the “sacrifice” result that Shuge expected did not appear.

After Xiuge completed the “planting” step, the black fog that blocked the flower pots appeared again, but this time it did not display the words symbolizing the conditions, but floated quietly in front, as if It just acts as a blockade.

Other than that, nothing else has changed.

The flowerpot looked very calm, at least much more “calm” than Xiuge’s mood.

“Don’t look at it. The progress bar won’t speed up just because someone is staring at it.”

Theseus laughed, so Shuge had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​waiting, and easily relieved the guard of Charron’s Touch and Running Rat, and then walked towards Theseus.

When he came closer, Xiuge discovered that the image and appearance of Theseus at this moment seemed to have changed slightly from before. Although he still looked like a shadowy figure whose appearance could not be distinguished, the dress he was wearing actually appeared. There were some stains, and the cuff of the right hand was even torn.

It looked like he had a fight with someone somewhere.

This made Shuge feel a little confused. As a person who claimed to be a god and indeed possessed an elusive and powerful power, he had no reason to appear in such an appearance… He could even see through Theseus’ clothes now. of the breaches, and saw the black shadows that formed his body.

Theseus didn’t pay much attention to Xiuge’s appraisal. He skillfully left a file for his last game, then returned to the main interface and started a new game.

Unexpectedly, Theseus did not choose the various strange-looking races in this game, but directly clicked on “human beings” at the top of the list.

While waiting for the game to load, Theseus tugged on his dress and explained: “I went out to experience life, and it became like this…”
