Walker Of The Worlds-Novel

The attack that had come towards Lin Mu and Little Shrubby was unexpected due to the fact that there weren't many things that could keep up with Little Shrubby.

This made Lin Mu think that whatever that attacked them might not be relying on speed but something else to do so.

"It's there!" Lin Mu spotted the culprit with his immortal sense.

It was a strange being that had no body. It was only a head that had arms and legs attached to it. Its mouth was located in the center and there was just one large eye above it.

But that wasn't all, as flames seem to be spurting from the cracks in its head that was a mix of flesh and stone. It was five meters tall and was actually smaller than Little Shrubby in size.

"What the hell is that?" Lin Mu couldn't recognize the creature.

~GIGIGIGIGI~

The strange creature let out a cry before slamming its feet on the ground. This sent a trail of fire into the ground, and a pressure developed in it. Then a second later, the ground bulged out some distance from it before another boulder was launched from it.

"Hang on…" But this time, Lin Mu realized something more.

~WHOOSH~

Little Shrubby moved and dodged the incoming flaming boulder with ease.

~GIGIGIGIGI~

The strange creature was irritated and stomped its legs again, launching another flaming boulder at Lin Mu and Little Shrubby. But it was to no avail, as the two could dodge it with no issues.

Forget right now, Lin Mu was sure that he could dodge an attack on this level even when he was at the Core condensation realm.

"Isn't this too slow?" Lin Mu said in confusion. "How did he manage to almost hit us on the first try?" he couldn't help but wonder.

Lin Mu let the strange creature attack a few times, analyzing its abilities and strength. A couple of minutes was all it took for Lin Mu to realize that he had greatly overestimated the strange creature.

"A cultivation base that is roughly equivalent to the Dao Shell realm… this isn't even the norm." Lin Mu didn't know how the first attack had managed to reach him. 'Was that a fluke?' this was the only option he could think of.

~SHING~

Regardless of whatever the reason might be, Lin Mu didn't intend to let the strange creature continue its attacks. A single swing of his sword was all it took to split the strange creature in half.

~THUD~ THUD~

The two halves of the strange creature fell to the ground, while its limbs continued to twitch.Google seaʀᴄh novelenglish.net . (f)ire.ɴet

Lin Mu and Little Shrubby approached it, wanting to see more.

Getting down, Lin Mu probed the dead body of the creature, finding it to have no organs other than some random flesh and an eye.

"Nearly 75% of its body is made of stone, while the rest is held together by flesh. The flames on its body are also not normal flames… they aren't just made from fire Qi… I can sense the bloody aura within them too." Lin Mu studied the corpse.

It was certain that whatever this creature was; it was the result of the unique environment of the Desolate Blood Battlefield.

~hiss~

About a minute later, the flesh of the strange creature started to sizzle and melt with its own fire burning it.

"This is unusual…" Lin Mu watched as the flesh and eye disappeared, only leaving the stone parts behind.

If one looked at this pile of stones, they wouldn't think much about it. It just looked like a random pile of stones that were everywhere in the Desolate Blood Battlefield.

"How peculiar…" Lin Mu didn't know what to think of this.

In the information he had obtained from Alchemist Ruoxian, as well as just in general, there was no mention of anything like this.

"Let's continue Little Shrubby." Lin Mu ordered.

~growl~

The beast growled in response and the two continued towards their destination.

'I should use the Blood Vein Tracker too… watch out for anything suspicious…' Lin Mu took out the Immortal tool that had been given to him by Alchemist Ruoxian.

~Ting~

The red needle within the kite shaped crystal started to stir awake.

It trembled in the center before starting to spin.

"Is this okay?" Lin Mu furrowed his brows.

He watched the needle continue to spin for a minute before finally settling in a certain direction.

"Oh, it stopped?" Lin Mu saw that the needle was now pointing diagonally to the right, to where they were heading.

Lin Mu directed Little Shrubby to change their path and followed the direction of the needle. It took them ten minutes to reach the supposed location as the needle had started to change its orientation.

Instead of pointing to a direction in a flat plane, it was now pointing downwards diagonally.

"This is supposed to track turbulent energies, right? So this means there is something hidden there…" Lin Mu spread his immortal sense and let it enter the bloodied ground.

For the first ten meters, Lin Mu didn't encounter anything unusual. But after that, his Immortal sense trembled, as a negative aura hit it.

"There really is something there…" Lin Mu felt curious.

He directly took out Afternoon Pine and used the sword's Qi skill.

~HUMM~

The double edged sword hummed in response as Lin Mu's Sword Intent was infused into it. The sword activated its skill and a yellow energy charged into the ground below.

~RUMBLE~

A few seconds later, the ground started to shake and then three pine trees grew out of it!

The pine trees were made out of immortal Qi and sword intent, causing the ground to be overturned.

~shua~

Once the trees had fully grown, they dissipated into wisps of energy, leaving behind a large hole that was nearly ten meters wide.

"Now let's see what's hidden down there…" Lin Mu peeked into the hole, finding something moving down there.

~WHOOSH~

Then a second later, a dark grey mist erupted out of the hole!
