Chapter 1270 Heavy Anxiety And Burning Desire
??Lin Mu had returned to his residence after night had fallen upon the Land of Exile. The day of training for the Haima tribe ended, and they all returned to rest and cultivate as well. Tonight Lin Mu was also going to rest.??~huu~
??"Been a while since I properly slept… I just analyzed and learned in this time." Lin Mu muttered to himself as he sat on the bed.
??He glanced at the twin snakes sleeping on the pillow next to him and nodded his head.
??'They've been asleep for a week too.' Lin Mu recalled.
??He had learned little about the twin baby snakes since the time they had been born. Till now, he only knew that they needed to consume food that was rich in Yin or Yang Qi to nurture themselves.
??Lin Mu had also given them some Beast Qi, but it didn't actually satisfy their hunger. It actually didn't show any effect on them. This prompted Lin Mu to think that perhaps they were beyond the point where Beast Qi would help them.
??'Or the amount of Beast Qi they need to consume in order for there to be any effect is a lot more than before.' Lin Mu thought.
??Another thing Lin Mu learned about the Twin snakes was their strength. While their cultivation base was at the Nascent soul realm, their actual power was enough to go against even a Peak Dao Shell realm cultivator or beast.
??And even that was something Lin Mu only knew because they had killed Chasm Beasts of that strength. Lin Mu guessed that they might be even stronger, but since there was no stronger Chasm Beast that they had come across, there was no reference.
??'I can't test them out in a fight myself either. They can definitely get injured.' Lin Mu reckoned.
??Thus Lin Mu had basically run out of references to compare the Twin snakes against. He could only hope that he might find some record about them somewhere. Perhaps even in this world.
??~Sigh~
??"Let's just go to sleep for now… who knows when the people will be coming to get Huyun Chuan." Lin Mu muttered to himself as he took out his favorite White Bolster and laid his head on it.
??The White Bolster had been with him since the very start and was one of the starting things he had obtained from the rifts. It was definitely the best pillow he had felt and its materials were truly good.
??After resting his head on the bolster, Lin Mu soon fell asleep. He didn't enter the Sleepscape and simply slept normally.
??Lin Mu saw several dreams. Memories of his past, his childhood, and of his companions from Xiaofan world. Some were good, some sad, but they all were a part of him. His sleeping face even had a gentle smile on it.
??But somewhere along the string of dreams, Lin Mu's smile turned into a frown.
??All of a sudden, the dream that he was in shattered into fragments, leaving him in an empty dark space.
??"Find…." A longing voice echoed.
??"What…" Lin Mu looked around but couldn't see anything.
??He couldn't even tell where the voice was coming from.
??"Find…" The voice echoed again.
??This time, it felt like it was coming from all directions.
??"What is this?" Lin Mu couldn't tell. 'Doesn't feel like a dream.'
??He looked at his hands and body, finding them to be clearly visible. This was strange since the entire area was pitch black and yet his body could be seen by him. It only served to confuse him.
??"Let's just wake up for now…" Lin Mu decided.
??Having gone to Sleepscape hundreds of times, waking up was like turning on a switch to Lin Mu.
??"Huh! What?!" But as a shock to him, no matter how much he tried, he couldn't wake up at all.
??Just as Lin Mu was wondering what was happening, he felt a pain in his chest.
??"ARGH!" He cried out.
??The pain was strange, a mix of heavy anxiety and sheer unease.
??"What is… happening…" he unknowingly started to pant.
??"Find… it…" The voice echoed once more.
??Lin Mu's ears registered the second word and focused on it.
??"Find it… Find Me…"
??"Find you?" Lin Mu spoke in confusion. "Who are you?"
??"Find it… Find Me… Find the rest of me!" The voice spoke, getting louder.
??Now Lin Mu knew that there was someone contacting him; through what means though, he didn't know.
??~SHUA~
??Then in the next moment, a blinding flash of colors assaulted Lin Mu's eyes. The pitch black space was illuminated and a scene was presented to him.
??In front of Lin Mu was a large mountain range and two concentric circles of multicolored light floated in the air.
??The outer circle was split into two colors, one being purple and the other being azure, while the inner circle was split into five colors: green, blue, red, brown, and yellow.
??Seeing them, a memory resurfaced from the depths of Lin Mu's mind.
??"This… I remember this!" Lin Mu recalled a dream he had seen a long time ago.
??It was back when he had gone out to hunt Steel Back wolves, along with the people of the Hei corps. He was resting in a tent when he had seen this dream. Though when he had woken up, he had basically forgotten about it.
??Lin Mu didn't know why he had forgotten it, nor did he know why he was seeing it now. A few moments later though, the scene changed a little, as a silhouette appeared next to Lin Mu.
??"Who's this?" Lin Mu wondered. 'Is it me?'
??But looking closely, he found the figure to be shorter than him. The figure was about five foot four inches tall and looked like that of a child.
??"That's not me… even when I had that dream before, I was taller than that." Lin Mu remembered.
??He kept on observing the figure, trying to make out who or what it was. The only thing that Lin Mu could somewhat tell was that it was a male figure. A few seconds later, the figure moved and took a step forward. Lin Mu narrowed his eyes and was on alert for anything dangerous.
??He couldn't use any of his cultivation base or even his physical strength here though, which only made it tough for him to figure out how he would fight if the situation arose.
??But surprisingly, that didn't happen.
??Instead, he saw the figure walking towards the glowing circles of light and coming to a stop below them. He then extended his hand, reaching out to the concentric circles of light.
??~WHOOSH~
??And when he did, the circles turned into a single ray that rushed towards the figure's hand.
??"NOOOOOOOO!!!!" Lin Mu cried out.
??A burning desire filled his heart, making him feel like he was losing something. The desire was for the circle of lights, but there was no reasoning behind it. Lin Mu simply 'desired' it innately.
??The desire came from deep within him, making him feel lost.
??He started to run after the figure, but before he even reached half way to him, the entire scene turned into dust and faded into nothingness.
??"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! NOOO!" A roaring cry echoed across the entire Haima tribe as Lin Mu woke up screaming.
??It sent waves of fear in the tribe and alerted the higher ups.
??"What happened!?" The warriors of the tribe rushed to Lin Mu's residence.
??Elder Niji who was deep in cultivation, had woken up just moments before Lin Mu's scream, feeling uneasy. And when he heard the scream, his heart fell.
??"Noble Lin Mu!" he directly broke through the roof of his residence, leaping across to Lin Mu's residence.
??He didn't know what had happened to Lin Mu, but it didn't feel anything good from the scream.
??Within seconds of Lin Mu's scream, Elder Niji had entered his residence. The other warriors of the Haima tribe were also rushing towards it, while Head Warrior Kulo could be seen soaring over the tribe.
??~THUD~ THUD~
??The door was directly broken as Elder Niji and Head Warrior Kulo rushed in.
??There they saw Lin Mu.
??His fingers and hands were twitching while he stood with a strange expression. It felt like a mixture of rage and anxiety, while a violent aura surrounded him.
??"What is this…" Elder Niji was at a loss.
??~HISS~
??Even the twin snakes woke up and gazed at Lin Mu warily.
??Lin Mu felt like there were bugs crawling all over his skin, and it felt incredibly itchy. Not just that, but an intense desire filled every bit of his body while a distant calling was heard in his mind.
??The itch felt like what an addict would feel from withdrawal, and the desire was equally great.
??But what was the addiction or the desire?
??Even Lin Mu didn't know that. All he knew was that he needed to follow the calling if he wanted this feeling to go away.
??"You called for me… fine then… I'll come find you…" Lin Mu said, his voice like the freezing water of the arctic.
??Elder Niji and Head Warrior Kulo who heard Lin Mu's voice, trembled.
??'What happened to his voice… why does it feel like it isn't him speaking…?' Elder Niji wondered.
??But Head Warrior Kulo felt something else.
??'Why does it feel like it isn't just his voice… there seem to be more people speaking…' Kulo thought.
??All this while, Lin Mu's aura continued to flare, expanding more and more. It covered Elder Niji and Head Warrior Kulo, until it finally covered the entire tribe!
