Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2208  Acting Like A Guinea Pig

The expedition was also highly risky and came with a large chance of death. And yet, the rewards were well worth it, thus they were willing to take it on.

But what Lin Mu was doing was a sure shot way of getting injured and harming oneself.

And yet, he didnʼt seem to be scared in the slightest and there was even a hint of curiosity brimming on his face.

ʼHe should be in pain, and yet heʼs testing this out as if heʼs playing with some herbs.ʼ Crown Princess Shang thought to herself. ʼHow… Thrilling.ʼ That was the only word she could come up with.

ʼIs he foolish, or too headstrong to try something like this?ʼ Lady Kang wondered. ʼThough he hasnʼt harmed himself much so far, so perhaps he is calculative enough to take this risk.ʼ Her thoughts were a bit different.

The group had varying thoughts, as some thoughts it was a bit too reckless while others couldnʼt help but appreciate Lin Muʼs bravery.

After all, he was technically doing it for them too. If they knew what could happen to oneʼs body, they would have a better chance at dealing with it. Plus they had seen how Lin Mu had resisted the death Qi in the Teleportation Channel before.

While they had been paralyzed by it, he alone was able to resist and bring them out of it safely.

Thankfully later on they were fully restored to their peak condition by the pedestal, and even their cultivation base was improved. Otherwise, there was no telling when they would be able to recover from it and then enter the Spatial Plane.

~HISSAAA~

The sizzling sound got louder as Lin Mu went deeper.

”Ha…” He took a little breath, as a stream of pain shot through his finger and into his arm. ʼIts getting intense now.ʼ Lin Mu noted. ʼIt the Metal elemental Immortal Qi didnʼt even last five seconds.ʼ He noted.

He increased the Qi output and tried to out-compete the Death Qi, but even after increasing it by four times, the effect was the same.

ʼThe death Qi will render it ineffective after a certain point.ʼ Lin Mu now understood.

His golden finger was now a strange mottled green, with grey spots appearing. Even the part that was outside the Death Qi Boundary was being affected as the corrosion spread. In a few seconds, Lin Muʼs entire finger had turned mottled green, with the part that was inside the Death Qi boundary becoming fully grey.

”Huh…” Lin Mu pulled his finger back out and checked on its condition. ”Meridians are being infiltrated by the vitality from my flesh is resisting it and actively trying to regenerate the damaged tissue.” He noted.

~HUALA~

Lin Mu then stimulated his aura, causing his vitality to surge into his finger.

~SHUA~SHUA~SHUA~

The aura overpowered the remnants of the Death Qi and stared healing his finger. In the next minute, Lin Muʼs finger was fully back to its normal state.

”So Metal elemental Immortal Qi with my Body cultivation can resist a surface level interaction, but not more.” Lin Mu informed them.

”Thatʼs good to know. At least we know it wonʼt be too bad if we end up touching it unknowingly.” Crown prince Feng Shun said. ”Thank you for your work.” ”Oh, Iʼm not done yet,” Lin Mu replied. ”Uh… What?” They had not expected this at all.

”That was just the basic level test. I still need to see if my other defensive techniques can resist it.” Lin Mu answered. ”Iʼll go with a stronger one this time.” He said before his aura flared up.

~HONGLONG~

Lin Muʼs aura surged as a searing hot energy rose out of his body.

ʼLonggui Bulwark Armour: Magma Hardening!ʼ

The searing hot energy that was a combination of the fire, metal and earth elements condensed around Lin Muʼs arm and turned into a stone gauntlet. It looked rather rugged and it was as if it had been forged from fresh magma and tempered by cooling it in the waters of the arctic.

~Sha~

Lin Mu thrust his finger back into the Death Qi boundary, but this time around no sizzling sound was heard.

”Huh?” Daoist Chu, who was watching it closely, couldnʼt help but be surprised.

”Itʼs not… Corroding him?” Crown Princess Shang noted too.

”That stone armor… it isnʼt affected by the Death Qi as easily.” Elder Hu noted.

Lin Mu let his finger be there for a minute and saw no reaction to it.

ʼMuch better.ʼ He thought. ”Now to try deeper.” He said before pushing it in deep.

Feeling more confident, he directly let his entire finger sink in.

Still, no sound was heard for a minute. He observed the process with his immortal sense and saw how the Death Qi was basically unable to penetrate the stone gauntlet at this level.

Lin Mu waited for an entire five to confirm that it couldnʼt harm him right now, before he finally pushed his hand deeper. Now his hand had sunk all the way to his wrist!

”Should we stop him?” Qiao De couldnʼt help but ask, seeing the risky act.

”Heʼs fine so far… so let him be,” Lady Kang replied. ”If he really gets injured, I have means to heal him.” She couldnʼt help but be invested in the ʼexperimentʼ now.

As such, the group watched as Lin Mu acted like a guinea pig.

Lin Mu observed his hand and saw that it was finally starting to affect the stone gauntlet. There was no hissing sound yet, but he could observe with his immortal sense that the Death Qi was affecting the stone on a microscopic level.

ʼSo the deeper we go, the more the strength and concentration of the Death Qi.ʼ Lin Mu noted. ʼBut it is still low at this point. I should see when its fully affecting the Longgui Bulwark Armor.ʼ He thought and pushed his arm deeper.

Now his hand had sank all the way to his elbow, making the group gasp inwardly.
