Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 832 - Not Holding Back

With the new discovery, Lin Mu's drive in hunting down the beasts was now increased. Under his guidance, everyone started to hunt down the beasts as they encountered them.

The routine was simple. If it was an unknown beast, Lin Mu would be the first one to fight it and would figure out its abilities and weakness while letting the others know of it. As for the ones that were already known, the disciples would handle them.

So far, only two kinds of crystals had been found by Lin Mu in the beasts. The black-green and black-blue crystals. Both of them released the same bluish gas upon being broken, but the black-blue crystal had a higher amount of it.

They had now been fighting for over twelve hours now and had collector over a hundred such crystals. Lin Mu himself could kill them relatively easily, but the disciples struggled with the beasts that had black blue crystals.

Multiple disciples had to team up to kill them. It was mostly due to the fact that breaking their defenses was not easy, and some of them were very fast. The large variation in the beasts also made it a bit more complex for them to adapt to it.

~Clang~

~boom~

Lin Mu hit the carapace of a large bull like beast with this fist, sending it flying. The beast was about to attack a disciple and he had come to block it.

"Watch your backs!" Lin Mu warned before going to deal with the beast.

Blink!

Appearing directly on top of the beast, Lin Mu gripped the crystal that was embedded on its back and ripped it out directly.

~GUWAAAAAAAA!~

The bull like beast let out a pain filled cry as blood spilled out from the place where the crystal was ripped out. But after a few seconds, the beast fell silent and died.

~huu~

Lin Mu took a breath and looked back to see that most of the other beasts had been killed as well. Only a few were left, but the disciples were close to killing them.

"Where do you think Elder Liqiang is trapped?" Jing Luo asked Lin Mu.

"So far, we've had no clues to his location. This only makes me think that the malfunctioning formations may have directly pulled him into the deeper parts. Perhaps we will only see him on the next few floors." Lin Mu replied.

"Hmm… the Kushao Ruins are said to have five floors in total, and we are on the second one. We can only imagine what other things we will see on the other floors." Jing Luo muttered.

"At least they are getting some benefits here." Lin Mu said as he saw a few disciples plucking out a spirit herb that was growing in one of the areas.

These were spread around sporadically, and some of the herbs were rather valuable and hard to find in the world. There were even a few rooms that contained hidden treasures in them.

"While they are getting them, I fear the time when they find something that may be dangerous." Elder Weimin suddenly spoke.

"You're right elder. Plus, we haven't encountered the remains of the cultivators that failed to escape the ruins five hundred years ago. It means we aren't even close to that place." Lin Mu added.

"We can only keep on soldiering on. Plus, we don't know how long we have before the others that are waiting outside the ruins enter it. Once they do, we won't have as many opportunities to act." Elder Weimin said.

Lin Mu nodded his head and tried to think of what to do. Elder Weimin on the other hand seemed to want to say something but was hesitating.

"Junior Lin Mu, I know you've been holding yourself back here for the sake of the disciples. I do not want you to do that anymore. They've already gotten enough to learn in this time, it would be far more beneficial for us if we speed up our mission.

If the others manage to enter too, they will be able to reach our position very quickly since we have all but removed the obstacles that would have blocked them." Elder Weimin requested.

Lin Mu heard his words and thought over it before nodding his head.

"Alright… perhaps I should have done this from the start." Lin Mu replied.

He had already known the places where the beasts were and could have gone to kill them quickly. But he had not done so for the others as they were progressing together. But now he realized it was just wasting their time.

"I agree. If you can speed it up, perhaps we might be able to get to the bottom of this." Jing Luo stated.

"Very well. Take care of the disciples. I'll clear out the rest of the areas…" Lin Mu said before disappearing into thin air.

Once he was gone, Elder Weimin stared at the place where Lin Mu was at.

"How does he always do that?" He couldn't help but wonder.

"Trust me… I ask that myself every day as well." Jing Luo said as he got to work.

~shua~

Little Shrubby left as well and appeared next to Lin Mu, a few halls away.

"We kill?" He questioned.

"Yes… we kill. But save the crystals on their back." Lin Mu answered.

~ZING~

The moment Little shrubby heard this, he disappeared in a blur. Soon sounds of explosions and breaking were heard coming from the corridor.

~Crack~

Lin Mu cracked his knuckles as he stared down at the mass of beasts below him.

"Time to get to business…" Lin Mu muttered as he descended upon the beasts.

~BOOM~

~BANG~

~CLANG~

~DENG~

Various sounds of conflict were heard as Lin Mu fought the beasts with little restraint. Other than protecting the crystals from getting damaged, no other part of the beasts were left intact or while.

About a day passed while Jing Luo, Elder Weimin, and the disciples waited in one of the corridors for Lin Mu to return.

"Where is he?"

"Will he be fine?"

There were many questions in their mind, and they all wondered where Lin Mu was.
