Chapter 698 - 688 Awkward Encounter
Looking at the monster’s strange appearance, Stein felt trepidation in his heart.
At first glance, the creature looked like a horse, but upon closer inspection, one could see that its mane was made up entirely of slender, tubular worms.
Therefore, even though the monster seemed non-threatening, Stein didn’t dare to mount it, and even a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes as he thought about summoning the Tings Hound to drain the creature dry.
But just then, the Mist Box moved on its own, nudging Stein forward, as if signaling him to ride the creature.
With this action from the Mist Box, Stein didn’t dare to act rashly, realizing that the monster was summoned by the Mist Box, so he extinguished the murderous intent in his heart and, after much hesitation, finally mounted it.
What he didn’t know was that, in fact, the Mist Box had just saved his life.
If Stein had summoned the Tings Hound just then, he would have undoubtedly died, because the Tings Hound wouldn’t target the horse-like monster but would instead launch an attack directly on Stein.
The horse-like monster was essentially a mass of fog, and naturally, the Tings Hound wouldn’t take the fog as its target, so the only living person nearby, Stein, would have suffered.
Carrying Stein, the horse-like monster moved leisurely forward, and although the direction was unclear, Stein knew the creature had a clear purpose.
Stein’s senses were not sharp, but he could see the mist around them churning, and from the movement of the fog, he deduced that there were probably many monsters following them.
But he couldn’t possibly imagine what kind of scene surrounded him at the moment.
