Chapter 833: A Beast With A Navy Blue Crystal And Trap Entrance
~DENG~
~DENG~
“WHAT’S THAT?!” The disciples were startled upon hearing a noise coming from the depths of the corridors.
A while back, they had stopped hearing the cries and sounds of the beasts because Lin Mu had killed the ones that were around them first. Thus, they were in the dark about it all and thought it was just a normal thing.
But now there was a loud sound, as if someone was charging towards them.
~BANG~
~CRACK~
“GET BACK!” Jing Luo shouted as he pulled two of the disciples that were at the very front.
Elder Weimin got the others and they all retreated from the debris that was shooting towards them. The wall in front of them had been split apart by a great force, which then shattered it entirely.
“HALT!” Another voice was heard coming from the darkness.
~BANG~
~shua~
A flash of light was seen sparking from the shadows and moved towards the being that had just appeared in front of them.
“W-what is this beast?” The disciples were startled.
In front of them was a beast bigger than any that they had ever seen. It was at least thirty meters tall and towered over them greatly. It had the head of a wolf and the body of a goat.
Spiny scales were spread across its body and long fangs protruded from its mouth. It was in all senses a terrifying beast and the aura exuding from its body was also a proof of that. But that aura quickly changed when a word was heard.
“DEVASTATOR!”
A pink ribbon of energy seemed to have materialized out of the darkness and went into the body of the beast. It entered from one end and come out the other, while taking away the life of the beast.
~thud~
With a loud thud, the beast collapsed in front of the disciples with a loud thud, knocking up a lot of dust. The blood and gore had unfortunately splattered over the bodies of the disciples and some of them had faces that were completely red now.
~step~step~step~
Finally, from the darkness appeared Lin Mu. Blood dripped from his fist and his robes seemed to be a bit damaged, but other than that, he was mostly fine.
“Sorry, it took me a little extra time dealing with this guy.” Lin Mu said as he pointed to the beast.
“Just what was this beast?” Hu Yun couldn’t help but ask.
Lin Mu walked to the neck of the beast in response and revealed the navy blue crystal that was hidden between the spiky scales.
~Crack~
Jamming his fingers in the gaps, Lin Mu ripped out the crystal before showing it to them.
“This is a different crystal? It’s not like the ones we’ve seen till now.” Hu Yun realized.
Jing Luo and Elder Weimin furrowed their brows and realized what Lin Mu was holding in his hands.
“This was a… Dao Shell realm beast?” Elder Weimin asked doubtfully.
“Well, it had the strength equivalent to one, but isn’t exactly a Dao Shell realm beast. I’ve seen enough of them and now know that they have a different cultivation path than us. They don’t cultivate the same way we do and don’t have the same realms.
Their powers are mostly physical and so far I haven’t seen any that can use anything like a Qi skill.” Lin Mu explained.
Jing Luo furrowed his brows and checked up on the beast. A large hole was carved into the beast and not much of it was left. Lin Mu had used a low powered Devastator but even then it had managed to kill the beast and cause so much damage.
‘Even five percent is pretty strong now…’ Lin Mu thought to himself.
He looked at his fist, that was bleeding. There was a small cut on his knuckle from where the ribbon of energy had come out.
“This should be enough…” Lin Mu muttered as he popped a healing pill into his mouth.
“How many beasts did you exactly kill?” Jing Luo asked.
“All that I came across. There were about ninety eight beasts with a black blue crystal, four hundred, sixty nine with black green crystal, and then this one beast with a black and navy blue crystal.” Lin Mu answered.
~Sssss~
The disciples that heard his words couldn’t help but gasp in shock. Elder Weimin was also a bit taken aback. He had seen how the Dao Shell realm beast had died and he was sure that if it were him in the position, it would take him a while to even injure the beast.
‘He just keeps on giving us more and more shocks, doesn’t he?’ Elder Weimin thought to himself.
While Elder Weimin was thinking this, Jing Luo looked around for someone in particular.
“Where’s little shrubby?” He asked.
“Hmm, he should be on his way.” Lin Mu said and looked in the distance.
~whoosh~
A few seconds later, the sound of wind blowing could be heard and a red blur became visible.
~SCREECH~
Little Shrubby’s claws dug into the stone floor as he braked and slowed down.
“Did you get all of them?” Lin Mu asked.
“Yup!” Little shrubby replied with a nod.
“Good, we can head to the next floor now.” Lin Mu said.
“Wait, isn’t the entrance this way?” Elder Weimin asked.
“That’s a trap.” Lin Mu said and casually kicked a piece of the wall towards the entrance.
~BOOM~
The moment it entered it, scorching flames filled it, melting the stone almost instantly.
~gasp~
“How did we not see?” Jing Luo asked.
“You won’t be able to see it unless you get close enough. The masking formations on it are rather good.” Lin Mu replied.
The disciples couldn’t help but feel a bit fearful. They had been waiting here because they were convinced this was the next entrance.
“Where is the real one, then?” Elder Weimin questioned.
“It’s that way. This beast was guarding it.” Lin Mu answered.
It now made sense to them that a strong beast would be guarding it and they followed after Lin Mu as he brought them to the next floor.
