Chapter 828 - Demolition Man (2/2)

~huu~

The disciples took breaths of relief after seeing the wide open floor. Lin Mu came to stand at front and didn't look tired at all. Rather, he looked the same as before and not a single bead of sweat could be seen on his head.

Instead it looked like he had just been relaxing the entire time.

”That man is a monster…” A few disciples whispered.

”And handsome too~” A female disciple added.

~shua~

A flickering sound was heard as Lin Mu found the entrance to the next floor.

”So it was located in the center, makes sense. And it's being protected by the same barrier as that of the surface entrance.” Lin Mu noted.

Behind Lin Mu, he could see the main entrance of the ruins in the distance. It was still protected by the barrier, and nothing could be seen outside it.

”The others will be rather surprised after entering now,” Jing Luo commented.

”They will indeed… thankfully we will be gone by then.” Elder Weimin added.

”That'll be for the best. We do not want any extra attention. As long as we are not here, they have nothing to attribute to us.” Lin Mu said.

He then walked up to the entrant of the next floor and ripped it open, just like he had done on the surface.

~Crack~

With the barrier torn, everyone quickly descended to the next floor. The next floor was rather deep, and it took them 5 minutes to reach it. But the moment they did, they could feel the aura change.

”Be careful everyone! We are not alone!” Lin Mu spoke.

”More than six hundred beings are here.” Little Shrubby informed.

His sense of smell was going crazy and was alarming him about the danger here. Lin Mu's spirit sense also spread around and saw the numerous beasts that were spread around on the floor.

Unlike the first floor, the walls here didn't restrict spirit sense, but the sheer number of beasts made it difficult for normal people to sense other things, as it would distract them too much.

The floor was divided into multiple rooms and halls, and along with the beasts, Lin Mu could feel the presence of other things as well.

'There are certainly plants and spirit herbs growing here…' Lin Mu thought.

Everyone drew out their weapons and was ready to fight.

~step~step~step~

The sound of footsteps could be heard coming from the front. The footsteps were strange, and it felt like whatever was coming was heavy as the sound was deep. The disciples gulped and looked on intently at the front.

Lin Mu, Jing Luo, and Elder Weimin had already seen the beast through.

”What is this thing?” Jing Luo muttered in confusion.

The beast in question looked like a flat beetle but had a pale white exterior. It had a long spined tail that extended from the back and mandibles that were like wide scythes. The most eye catching feature of it was a black and blue crystal that was located on its back.

The Crystal's edges were black but its center was dark blue in color. It was nothing like what Lin Mu had seen before and made him confused. Which was strange as he had read about a lot of strange beasts in the memoirs of the Lost immortal and others that he had read.

”Senior, do you know what they are?” Lin Mu questioned.

”They don't seem like any particular species. What you said about them being native seems to be right. They are probably some normal beasts that were mutated by something and have now proliferated enough to become a dominant species.” Xukong answered.

”Mutant beasts huh… if they can continue to grow, that means the mutation was stable and successful…” Lin Mu remembered.

”There is another problem… I cannot estimate its strength.” Elder Weimin suddenly spoke.

”What?” the disciples were surprised.

Lin Mu narrowed his eyes and tried to sense the beast in question, only to find that while he could feel its presence and body, he could not find a cultivation base.

”What is this… they have no Dantian?” Lin Mu realized.

Seeing the situation was getting even stranger, everyone became nervous.
