"That''s a lot of them…" Lady Kang looked at the wide valley filled with thousands upon thousands ofva creatures.
"Those slugs we saw were indeed just one variant… there are more of them." Lin Mu said he sawva creatures that looked like various animals.
There wereva wolves,va foxes,va tigers,va snakes, and many kinds ofva insects. ''If there''s so many of them here, there''s bound to be a key nearby.'' Lin Mu thought to himself as his eyes observed everything.
Theva creatures were all moving around randomly, as if they were mindless puppets. Which they may as well be.
But as Lin Mu and Lady Kang observed they started to find some patterns.
"There," Lady Kang pointed to a spot that was roughly half a kilometer away. "Look at that squirrel." She spoke.
"Oh?" Lin Mu narrowed his eyes as he nced at a rather smallva creature. Unlike the others that were at least a meter in size, this one was just half a meter tall. Of course,pared to a normal squirrel it was still quite big, but it stood out here. "The otherva creatures seem to be moving around it but don''te too close." Lady Kang replied. "As if they are—"
"Guarding it." Lin Mu finished her words.
~SHUA~
His Immortal sense directly probed theva squirrel and quickly found the reason. "Hah, so this time the key is kept with ''guardians''." Lin Muughed finding that the iron key was embedded inside the body of theva squirrel.
"It''s not the only one either." Lady Kang spoke as she picked up on more such creatures. "Look there," she pointed.
Lin Mu looked into the distance and found that anotherva beast was surrounded by hundreds of its kin, but a distance was present between them. It was a small butterfly that pped its wings and hovered in the same ce.
And simr to theva squirrel, theva butterfly had the iron key embedded in its body too, contained within a sphere.
"Hmm, theva beasts seem rtively uniform in terms of their strength." Lin Mu said as he used his immortal sense to analyze the beasts.
All of them seem to be at around the third tribtion stage of the Immortal realm. Though a few of them were weaker than that too. Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.
At the very least, Lin Mu couldn''t see anyva beasts that seemed to be as strong as a Fourth Tribtion Stage immortal beast or higher.
"With such numbers, it''s best we split up." Lin Mu said before he called out a little more help. "We''ll be able to cover more ground now." He said as two snakes appeared.
~HISS~
Xiao Yin and Xiao Yang looked at the sea of prey to them and hissed in excitement.
"Yes, you can eat them all but leave the key alone." Lin Mu replied to the twins.
~HISSSSS~
The twins swayed their heads in excitement, waiting for Lin Mu to give the go ahead.
"Now then… GO!" Lin Mu permitted as the twins turned into blurs that looked like a white and ck ribbon.
~WHOOSH~
The two ribbons directly pierced through all the Lava Beasts that came in front of them as they started to weave through the area. The heat of theva could not harm them, while the beasts were far too slow to react to them. ~SPLAT~SPLAT~SPLAT~
Theva beasts exploded while their energy was consumed by the twins, further energizing them.
"I''ll go for the key," Lin Mu said before he disappeared.
~Growl~
Little Shrubby was left with Lady Kang and gestured to his back with is head.
"I suppose it''ll be faster if I go with you." Lady Kang understood what the beast meant.
~grrr~
Little Shrubby nodded with a growl and let her climb up again.
~WHOOSH~
Then in the next second he jumped straight into the air and then dived down in an arc,nding smack dab in the middle of arge group ofva beasts.
~BOOM~
A crater was created where hended, while the unfortunateva beasts were all smashed into a puddle. ~SHA~SHA~SHA~
Lady Kang created tens of handseals as the power of stars exuded from her. Her eyes shimmered from the starlight before she activated her skill. Upon doing this, twenty stars flew out from her back, and hovered behind her.
"88 Constetion Series: Fifteenth form- Half Beast Archer!" As soon as she chanted that, the stars transformed and formed an illusory figure of a giant man.
But this man wasn''t a normal human but rather a demihuman, having the upper body of a human while its lower body was that of a horse.
It was a demihuman that belonged to the Centaur Race!
Once the figure of the centaur had fully formed, it towered over her and Little Shrubby, almost ovepping with them.
Lady Kang''s Immortal sense split into hundreds of fine threads and rushed towards theva beasts that were around them. Once all the threads were connected to theva beasts, she finished the hand seals.
"Sagittarius'' Barrage!" Lady Kang shouted.
The illusory figure of the centaur stretched the bow in its hand as a long arrow condensed on it. Once the bow was fully arched, the centaur let it loose into the sky!
~TWANG~ The shimmering arrow shot into the sky and reached a great height before it split apart into hundreds of smaller arrows that rained down into the valley!
~feng~feng~feng~feng~
All theva beasts that had been connected with Lady Kang''s immortal sense threads were urately targeted by the rain of arrows. Not a single shot was missed, and theva beasts were sttered across the floor of the valley.
While this happened, Lin Mu had already reached theva squirrel and ripped out the iron key from it. "Whoa…" He had just looked back when the rain of arrows happened.
An area of three hundred meters was cleared out in one go, as the illusory figure of the centaur pulled the bowstring once more.
