I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

Like being trapped in a cocoon, Lu Ban looked at the countless eyeballs and chunks 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 lump 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 a hunting dog 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 God. 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 hounds love to hunt those who travel through time and disrupt time, such as the Chosen Ones and travelers like myself. It seems that this place is not only eerie, but also harboring hounds."

"Wait, you're talking about the owners of these hunting dogs..."

The murmurs of the great beings collected by Lu Ban came from the Pleiades star cluster, where a powerful and indescribable deity should be imprisoned. So, are these hounds 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 hunting dog 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 an air friend, he knew that the hound was there.

As the hunting dogs 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.

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

Chapter 293 Double Room

The indigenous people of Pohnpei are Micronesians. Like other indigenous peoples on many Pacific islands, they have dark brown skin, curly hair, and tall stature. Their ancestors migrated to these islands from Southeast Asia and other places four thousand years ago, forming a unique cultural atmosphere.

In a restaurant on the island, Lu Ban is enjoying a local specialty, tuna.

Tuna has a rich and delicious flesh and can be eaten raw, grilled, or boiled into soup. The way it is eaten on the island is more primitive, which is to grill it over a fire and eat it with bay leaves and other ingredients. When in doubt, just grill meat and that's it.

Even after grilling, the fatty tuna still had a much higher oil content than ordinary fish. Lu Ban stopped eating after eating two large pieces because it was too oily.

"Wang!"

The corgi at his feet was circling around Lu Ban. Pets are not allowed in restaurants, but Lu Ban had given so many that the owner had tacitly allowed the dog in since there were no other customers.

Lu Ban picked up a piece of tuna belly from the plate, put it on a serving plate, and placed it on the ground.

The corgi wagged its short tail as it approached the plate, looked at the food, and then at Lu Ban.

"Eat."

Lu Ban spoke.

Only then did the Corgi finally lower its head and begin to wolf down its food.

"She's quite well-behaved."

Feng Yu offered this assessment.

Her movements as she ate tuna were very elegant. Although Lu Ban knew that it was a bit too much to use such an adjective to describe Feng Yu, Feng Yu's eating manner and posture could indeed only be described as elegant.

Perhaps when Lu Ban sees how Feng Yu disposed of the pieces of meat on the plane, he will also associate it with elegance.

"The hounds can take us through time, does that mean they can take us directly back to before the Starship disaster?"

Lu Ban watched the Corgi devour its food and suddenly had a whimsical idea.

"Hounds are naturally sensitive to time travelers, monsters that hunt them. You think you can have them take you through time? Dream on."

Feng Yu put down his knife and fork.

"If you want to travel through time, besides using the power of silence, there is another way, but believe me, you wouldn't want to try it."

"any solution?"

Lu Ban was curious.

"In a foreign land, a foreign land you don't know about, there exists a race that lives by stealing other people's time. Once you are captured by those creatures, your time will be stolen, ranging from a few seconds to one to three years. At the same time, you will be transported to a random point in the past. This is the way to travel through time."

Feng Yu explained earnestly.

"This knowledge doesn't seem to have caused any pollution?"
