There is not a single plant in the empty wilderness. There are cracked land, dry rivers, and flowing hot magma everywhere. The toxic smoke is everywhere, making the world more and more desolate.
In the middle of the wilderness, stood a huge monster.
It is tens of meters tall, and its body is covered with densely packed tentacles, which are like the hanging branches and leaves of an ancient tree. However, those branches and leaves are all alive and are flapping around randomly. From time to time, they roll up the rocks and soil in the wilderness and twist them.
of shattering.
Except for one tentacle located on the lower side of the orbit.
An illusory light green knife was curled at the top of the tentacle, which was patiently gouging out a colorful mark in the center of the monster's forehead. Dozens of pitch-black eyes and dozens of mouths of different sizes were clustered around the tentacle.
They were talking in chaotic voices.
"It's this feeling...that can break all rules!"
"Even pollution originating from the depths of the starry sky cannot resist it!"
"Wow...it's so comfortable."
"It would be even better if this knife were bigger."
"If it were bigger, could you still catch it with your little claws?"
The colorful colors were chipped off bit by bit by the green knife, like colorful flying snow, which turned into flying ash when it fell into the air and disappeared into thin air.
Suddenly, the noisy discussion in the wilderness stopped.
The dark eyes and the sharp-toothed mouths all turned in a certain direction. The tentacles that were waving in the sky also stopped as if they were under a restraining spell.
After a long time, one of the mouths let out a deep sigh.
"What a pity," it chewed randomly on a bone it pulled out from nowhere, dark saliva dripping from the corner of its mouth: "What a pity... My mushroom soup is really delicious... It was actually eaten by the dog.
.”
"How could a dog drink it?" The other mouth was full of questions, and the teeth became crooked under this confusion.
"That's not a dog," the third mouth curled up: "...Maybe Msisha will like this gift."
"It's none of our business!" Others yelled indiscriminately: "Work quickly and don't stop! Clean those dirty things stained by the stars from our bodies! Don't leave even a piece behind!"
Above the wasteland, those thick tentacles waved again, like a violent flame burning in the darkness.
…
…
"Is the edamame contaminated?" Fatty Xin's face was light blue and his tone was serious.
"No, it's just blood purification," Xiao Xiao stared at the thin and ferocious monster next to the crucible, and replied softly: "It looks more like a real Tindalos hound now."
Jiang Yu looked at it worriedly, the cat ears in her hair twitched uneasily, and asked in a low voice: "...Is it still an edamame?"
"I don't know." Zheng Qing held the tail on his waist and shook his head. There was no deep contractual relationship between him and Maodou, so it was difficult to understand Gouzi's current situation.
The only thing he can do now is to hold on to the rune gun in his hand and be fully prepared.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Thin mist gushes out from the angle between the crucible and the ground, slowly accumulates, and submerges Maodou's paws, calves, tail, and then its body. Until finally, the entire dog is shrouded in mist, looming in the night.
.
The mushroom soup in the crucible gradually bottomed out.
The fog gradually calmed down.
The dog's whining gradually died down, and just when Zheng Qing couldn't hold it in any longer and wanted to step forward to check, a few familiar cat calls seemed to come from a distant place.
He suddenly looked back, and in the void, a group of edamame beans were rushing towards them from the void into reality. Behind them, there was a group of vague creatures shrouded in smoke. They had slender bodies and sharp claws, and tentacles could be vaguely seen in the smoke.
dance.
"Meow meow meow!"
After the group of 'edamame' jumped out of the void, they pounced directly on the alienated 'peer', tearing at the tentacles and eyeballs that emerged from its body. Almost in the blink of an eye, the edamame next to the crucible felt much refreshed.
, and the 'edamame' that jumped out from the void had more or less sprouts growing on their bodies.
And as more and more 'edamame' appear, those granulations become increasingly rare, until they are submerged under the dog's gray fur.
Is this a redistribution of the alienated energy received in an instant in the dimension of time and space? Zheng Qing felt a sudden realization in his heart, and looked at Gouzi who was gradually returning to normal, and his mood cheered up.
"Edamame! Well done!" The young wizard did not hesitate to praise him.
Then hundreds of dogs all turned their heads and looked at the wizard, wagging their tails uniformly. At a glance, it looked like wind-blown weeds in the spring wilderness, giving people an inexplicable feeling of vitality.
.
Zheng Qing wanted to share his feelings with his companions, but suddenly he felt his sleeves being pulled.
"What are those things?" Jiang Yu whispered in his ear, her voice seemed a little uneasy.
The wizard turned around and noticed that the fuzzy creatures with edamame beans coming from the void had not disappeared. Instead, they were wandering outside the small courtyard, scratching the lawn under their feet manically, digging out one ugly patch after another.
Pit.
Their thin heads poked out from the mist, with streaks of corrosive saliva hanging from their sharp canine teeth. Their scarlet eyes stared at the young wizards in the small courtyard, their eyes full of hunger.
"The Hounds of Tindalos." Xiao Xiao answered the witch's question for Zheng Qing. After a pause, the apologetic fortune teller emphasized: "The real Hounds of Tindalos... I don't think they have rushed in to tear us apart yet.
The only reason why it is broken is probably because the owner of this house does not welcome Mhisha's servants."
Mhisha is known as the "Overlord of Tindaros" and is a legendary being who can fight with Yog-Sothoth in the realm of time and space. Because of the edamame, Zheng Qing has heard the name of this outer god more than once.
.
"Then what should we do?" The wizard tightened the trigger of the rune gun, once again feeling that the rune gun in his hand was not enough.
Xiao Xiao adjusted his glasses and glanced at the hungry monsters outside the yard. His voice sounded unusually calm: "According to the original plan, pick up the bean, then go up the mountain, find the way, and go home... Only the school can stop those
Mad dog.”
Zheng Qing glanced at the crucible subconsciously.
The orange-red flame has been extinguished, and the mushroom soup in the pot has been drank up by the edamame. Even the soup hanging on the wall of the pot has been licked clean by the newly arrived dogs. The surface of the crucible seems to have changed.
It has become a mirror, smooth and discernible.
At the bottom of the pot, a green bean lies quietly.
Zheng Qing looked at the green beans carefully.
After a while, he lowered his head and looked at the cute dog sitting next to the pot: "Edamame, what I dropped into the pot was a golden bean, not a green bean... Where did my golden bean go?"
