Chapter 829 - Testing The Beasts (1/2)

Lin Mu had not heard of any beast that didn't have a Dantian and was now confused. Xukong on the other hand, narrowed his eyes as something appeared in his mind.

”Could they be… no, that's not possible.” Xukong suddenly spoke.

”What's the matter, senior? Do you know something?” Lin Mu questioned.

”That beast… it's similar to a race of creatures that are found in the universe. I mean them having no Dantian and not their appearance.” Xukong replied.

”So they can be linked? Did they mutate from that?” Lin Mu asked.

”No, that does not seem possible. Those creatures I'm talking about… they cannot possibly appear in this world. But them having no Dantian seems familiar. Do you see that crystal? That thing is similar to a core that a being can form in the core condensation realm.” Xukong explained.

”Hmm… so that means that beast is at the core condensation realm?” Lin Mu asked.

”Not exactly. Those crystals are basically a form of modified vessel that works as a Dantian for them. If you take them out, they should die rather quickly. But I doubt they will be easy to get to.” Xukong replied.

”I see… I'll attempt this first.” Lin Mu said and in the next moment, he blinked to the top of the beast.

”Huh?” his companions were a bit surprised but then saw Lin Mu thrust a short sword towards the beetle like beast.

~CLANG~

A loud sound was heard and it was like metal hitting metal.

”Damn, its carapace is very strong. Even a high grade spirit sword is unable to pierce through?” Lin Mu was a bit surprised.

He had simply used the force of the sword and had not particularly used his own strength or spirit Qi. This was because Lin Mu wanted to see how the others would fare against the beast.

He was sure that he could kill the beast, but it was more important if the others could do so as well.

~SKEEEEEE!~

The beast let out a strange screeching sound and was angry at seeing Lin Mu hit him. It even sounded a bit hurt, and it was obvious that even if there was no damage on the surface, the beast had definitely been hurt internally by the impact.

Blink!

Lin Mu teleported to the back of the beast and swiped the short sword at the joints of the beast.

~slick~

~thud~

~SKWEEEEEEEE~

This time the attack was successful and managed to cut off the tail of the beast. Dark blood splattered from the joint, spilling on the ground.

”So joints are its weak point…” Lin Mu said before he teleported again and let the beast squirm in pain.

~SHING~

~CRACK~

The next moment, his short sword was thrust against the open mouth of the beast. It first struck its mandibles, which were broken and then pierced the interior of its mouth.
