Chapter 775 - Strong Suction Force (1/2)

Feeling the Tug, Lin Mu became alert.

He knew that if something could pull on his spirit sense even now, after being refined this much, there must be something strong behind it. Lin Mu very carefully let his spirit sense descend even more, but realized that the tugging force was getting even more strong.

”Damn, if I let it go further, it will just end up ripping my spirit sense.” Lin Mu understood.

”What did you find?” Little Shrubby asked, seeing Lin Mu's reaction.

”I don't fully know either. But whatever it is… it can pull spirit Qi of any kind, it seems. Even if it is in the form of spirit sense it seems to be strong enough to pull it. I think that is also why there is no spirit Qi in the area.” Lin Mu replied.

Little Shrubby tilted his head in confusion and looked towards the bottom. After a few seconds, he spat out a small ball of fire towards the bottom. Lin Mu and Little shrubby then saw the ball of fire falling towards the surface of the hill.

The place where it fell was scorched a bit, but then the ball of fire started being sucked into the ground. Seeing this Lin Mu and Little Shrubby, both raised their brows. One must know that the ball of fire had enough spirit Qi to continue burning, even if it fell on the ground for at least a minute.

Thus, it was not just normal fire that would be extinguished like that. Instead, the ball was pulled into the ground easily. Lin Mu followed behind it with his spirit sense and saw that the ball was transformed into a drop of fire elemental spirit Qi anal quickly pulled to the bottom of the hill.

The Eight hill was just over two hundred meters tall and thus the maximum depth that Lin Mu haha reached with his spirit sense was just half of it.

”This is certainly very strange. What could be sucking all spirit Qi like that? Some beast, or some treasure perhaps?” Lin Mu wondered.

”The location from where the former adviser Chu left. Was it close to this place?” Xukong asked.

”Yes, senior. It's there,” Lin Mu pointed towards a pair of hills.

The hills were very common looking and would hide very well in any background. But if one looked closer they would find a small black patch between them. This small black patch was actually a large boulder that was blocking the entrance to an underground cave.

”So that's where he hid the formation array, huh… I think this place and that might be linked.” Xukong said.

”Huh? How so senior?” Lin Mu questioned.

”Why don't you go down to the bottom of the hill and see. Check what's hidden beneath the ground.” Xukong replied.

Lin Mu nodded his head and agreed.

”Just wait here, I'll go take a look.” Lin Mu said to Little shrubby.

”Okay,” Little Shrubby replied, and spread his spirit sense around.

He knew now to keep an eye on the surroundings seeing just how many beasts there were in this place. Even Dao Shell realm beasts could pop up at a moment's notice and thus it was better to keep alert.

Lin Mu then sank down into the hill using phase and kept on freely sinking. In just five seconds, he was at the hundred meter depth.
