Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2360  Ambushed Apart

Having finished their business inside the Offering Hall, Lin Mu and the group stood in front of it.

”Should we split up again?” Daoist Chu asked.

”Yes, that might be good. We should begin with getting a detailed analysis of the area in at least a two hundred kilometer radius first.” Lin Mu replied before looking at the eastern direction. ”Once we have the area cleared, we can continue heading to the east and see if we find any more traces.” He added.

”Just like we did for the west.” Crown Prince Feng Shun who was feeling quite ecstatic after buying the Thundering Hurricane Falcon Blood Essence Crystal said with great excitement.

He was ready to hunt anything that stood in his way as well as kill all those that tried to oppose them. In his mind, he also wished to return to the Rust Sky World as he wished to assimilate the bloodline as soon as possible.

Of course, he would still wait for his companions to obtain their needed items but his goal was also to find a way out now. The group soon split up after this and went in three directions with only Daoist Chu staying put at the Offering hall, acting as the relay point for everyone again.

Lin Mu, Ziran and Monk Hushu went to the east, Crown Princess Shang, Crown Prince Feng Shun and Qiao De went south, while the rest went to the north.

Though they didnʼt know that several sets of eyes were already watching their every move and were following them.

Lin Mu, Ziran and Monk Hushu were about a hundred kilometers from the Offering hall and were hunting a group of Chimeric Beasts that they had spotted.

”Itʼs your turn, Daoist Mu Lin.” Monk Hushu reminded.

”Ah, yeah.” Lin Mu said as he drew out Afternoon Pine. ~SHUA~

His immortal sense scanned the Chimeric Beast group and estimated that there were about eighty four beasts in it, with the strongest being at the Fourth Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm and the rest below it.

The Chimeric Beasts were gathered in a pear shaped formation with the Fourth Tribulation Stage Chimeric beast being at the very back. As such, Lin Mu went for it directly, attacking with his sword.

~SHING~SHING~SHING~

Lin Mu unsealed a flurry of sword slashes that glowed in a yellow light and flew towards the Fourth Tribulation Stage Chimeric beast, surrounding it from all sides and cutting off its path.

~SLICK~SLICK~SLICK~

Its six limbs were cut off in one go, rending it helpless.

~SCREECH~

~ROAR~

The other Chimeric Beasts were enraged at this and quickly found their target, which was coming at them.

~THUD~

Lin Mu landed in the middle of the group, crushing a couple of the Chimeric beasts under him before he slashed in a crescent shape.

”Afternoon Pine!” Lin Mu activate the skill of the sword at the same time.

~SHING~

The slash first cut though all the Chimeric Beasts that were within ten meters of him, before yellow metal pine trees rose from the ground, blocking the charge of the other Chimeric Beasts behind them and killing them as well.

”Just you left,” Lin Mu said as he approached the immobile Fourth Tribulation Stage Chimeric beast. He raised the sword and was about to chop the beastʼs head off when he heard an urgent voice in his head.

”Somethingʼs coming from the ground!” Little Shrubby informed him, while also rushing at him.

Still, the distance was a little too much as the ground erupted around Lin Mu.

~SCREECH~SCREECH~SCREECH~SCREEECH~

Four maggots rose from the ground, all looking like the one Lin Mu was familiar with.

”Yao Changying?” Lin Mu became alert and quickly slashed at the nearest maggot.

~HISS~

The sword slash cut through the maggotʼs flesh, releasing black and grey fumes from it, but the other three maggots were still coming at him.

~HUALA~

The Longgui Bulwark Armor automatically manifested around him, as he punched with his empty left hand.

~SMACK~

A Maggot had its head squished by the punch, as foul blood splattered along with fumes.

~ROAR~

In the next moment, Little Shrubby also reached Lin Mu, his fiery breath turning the third maggot into ashes and smoke immediately!

Little Shrubbyʼs control over fire had improved massively since before, and his flameʼs temperature was also terrifyingly high.

The ground that was near the flames but didnʼt come in contact quickly turned red and was close to melting. If the flames had made direct contact, it wouldnʼt have taken it long to melt into lava.

But the fourth maggot was still left and successfully managed to reach Lin Mu.

”SCREEEEEEE!” The maggot let out a harsh cry as it bit down onto Lin Muʼs shoulder with its thousands of teeth.

”HUMPH!” Lin Mu hammered the maggot with his left arm and stabbed it with the sword in his right, making the maggot cry in pain.

With the armor, he had sustained no damage, but could feel the Withering Daoʼs energy trying to contaminate the armor.

”MAGMA FURY!” Lin Muʼs left hand glowed in a bright red light before expanding into a large claw that squished and burned the fourth maggot, leaving grey smoke behind.

”Daoist Mu Lin!” Ziran and Monk Hushu were shocked by this and were flying at him when Lin Mu shouted.

”Behind you! AMBUSH!” ~CLANG~CLANG~CLANG~

Wooden vines wrapped around Ziranʼs arms as he blocked the attack from an axe while Monk Hushuʼs palm glowed in a golden light before he slapped at a spear.

The ones who had attacked them were black robed individuals with fish skin headbands.

”Kill them!” the black robed individuals shouted as more of them jumped down from the sky.

~ROAR~

And it wasnʼt just Ziran and Monk Hushu being attacked, as Lin Mu was ambushed too. But much to their dismay, all that was in their future was a fiery death as a wave of lava washed over them.
