292. Hound

Like being trapped in a cocoon, Lu Ban looked at the countless eyeballs and Mass of Flesh around him and adjusted the [Last Words] in his hand to a state where it could be fired at any time. If any problems arose, he was prepared to rush out immediately. Although it might have some impact on the plane, it was at least better than being eaten directly by these flesh and blood.

Just as Lu Ban was about to escape, all the eyes disappeared.

The flesh and blood suddenly became still.

A giant eye appeared before Lu Ban's eyes.

The eyes were about the size of his head, with bloodshot whites and dark yellow vertical pupils reflecting Lu Ban's face.

Looking at those eyes, Lu Ban suddenly felt they looked somewhat familiar.

"You two know each other?"

Lu Ban glanced at his Air Friend beside him, then at the mass of flesh and blood.

Suddenly, all the flesh contracted, turned into a ball, and fell to the ground.

Lu Ban first checked Feng Yu's condition and found that she was standing in the same spot, and the surrounding flesh and blood had disappeared, and he didn't know where she had gone.

Only, at the corner of Feng Yu's mouth, there seemed to be some remnants of flesh and blood.

Lu Ban decided not to think about how it got stuck there.

He looked at the lump of flesh on the ground.

The oval-shaped mass of flesh suddenly trembled, and then four short legs stretched out.

Four short legs straightened up, and Lu Ban saw a large eye emerge from the Mass of Flesh. Then, countless tentacles stretched out from around the large eye, like a lion's mane.

The fleshy creature raised its short legs and rubbed against Lu Ban, circling around his trouser leg.

It looks just like a corgi with a chubby butt.

"?"

Feng Yu looked at Lu Ban, a question mark appearing above his head.

"It seems to be quite interested in me."

Lu Ban offered an explanation.

This monster looks a lot like his Air Friend. Lu Ban made a simple guess: maybe the two belong to the same kind?

Or perhaps, the ramblings of the Great Being that Lu Ban just gave made this monster believe that he was its true master?

He tentatively touched the monster's head with his hand.

It has a sticky, warm texture, like clay, but it doesn't get your hands dirty.

The monster suddenly collapsed, lying on its back with its four legs in the air, its body twisting and turning like a puppy whining.

"I don't know what's wrong with this guy either."

Lu Ban touched the monster's belly, and the monster made a gurgling sound. Even the tentacles next to its eyes trembled slightly, as if it was enjoying itself.

"This is the first time I've ever seen Hound treat a person like this."

Feng Yu was equally incredulous.

"Hound?"

Lu Ban was curious; judging from Feng Yu's tone, she seemed to know this creature.

"Yes, these creatures are pets kept by a powerful Outer Gods. They can traverse time flexibly, and they will appear whenever there is a narrow space. Even your power to travel to other realms is probably borrowed from a part of their authority."

She approached the monster and stared at it warily.

"The Hound love to hunt those who travel through time and disrupt time, such as the Chosen of the Gods and travelers like myself. It seems that this place is not only eerie, but also harboring Hound."

"Wait, you mean the owners of these Hound?"

The murmurs of the Great Being collected by Lu Ban came from the Pleiades star cluster, where a powerful and indescribable deity should be imprisoned. So, are these Hound related to that deity?

"I don't know about these things either. In fact, when it comes to this level, touching on the true names of gods and hidden knowledge, the pollution is quite serious. My body would collapse if I only understood a few words. I advise you not to ask too much."

Feng Yu smiled helplessly.

"What do we do now? This guy doesn't seem to want to leave."

Lu Ban stood up, and the Hound also rolled over and stood up, making eye contact and exchanging glances with Lu Ban's Air Friend, like old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.

"If it doesn't have any ill intentions towards you, you can keep it with you."

Feng Yu thought for a moment and then said.

"I have a feeling that it will be of great help in the upcoming exploration."

"Keep by my side?"

Lu Ban looked at those big, blinking eyes.

Keeping this around might scare other people, right?

However, seemingly understanding Lu Ban's thoughts, the Hound immediately came under the seat and turned into a wisp of smoke in that narrow space. Then, the ferocious and terrifying monster disappeared. Although Lu Ban couldn't see it, just like Air Friend, he knew that the Hound was there.

As the Hound disappeared, Lu Ban felt that the surrounding environment was gradually becoming noisy.

"Sir, is there anything I can do to help you?"

The flight attendant politely inquired in front of Lu Ban.

He found himself surrounded by passengers from economy class, the dirty chairs and cabin gone, and everything back to normal.

It seems they've left that eerie place.

Lu Ban and Feng Yu, who was sitting next to him, exchanged a glance and went straight back to first class.

"Isn't it said that only by following the rules can the supernatural be broken? What's going on here?"

Lu Ban asked a question.

"The supernatural is based on rules. In the space where the supernatural exists, only by following the rules can one survive. Although it is unclear how the supernatural on this plane works, it will disappear once the flight ends."

Feng Yu glanced out the window.

There, in what was once a vast and boundless sea, a green island emerged.

Even though the flight should have had a long journey ahead, it inexplicably ended before we even reached our destination.

"Hound can travel through time, and time becomes unimportant when you encounter Hound."

Feng Yu returned to his seat.

"Pack your things and get ready to disembark."

Just as Feng Yu said, the flight landed safely. As soon as Lu Ban got off the plane, he felt a strong, humid, hot wind from the Pacific island. It was already midsummer here, and there was only a slight coolness under the shade of the tropical plants.

From the airport, you can see the port directly, where many small boats are moored. The fishermen here are famous for catching tuna, and 70% of the world's tuna production comes from here. This made Lu Ban want to eat first and fill his stomach.

Looking in another direction, you can see the magnificent ruins hidden in the forest.

The ruins are scattered about, looking desolate and quiet, with a kind of ancient and eerie beauty. Even in the sunlight, they appear quite sinister.

Lu Ban suddenly felt an itch at his feet.

He looked down and saw a short-legged corgi that had appeared at his feet at some point.

"Could this be...?"

Lu Ban was somewhat suspicious until he saw the corgi raise its head, and suddenly a huge eye, surrounded by tentacles, opened on its round head, staring at him expectantly.

"."

Lu Ban withdrew his gaze.
