Chapter 2369 A Large Camp
Lin Mu''s mind wandered as he rode atop Little Shrubby''s back.
The twins were coiled around his arms while the rest of the group was sitting behind him. The wind rushed past them at great speed as Little Shrubby tore through it, leaving behind what could only be perceived as a red blur.
The journey was taking longer than expected, as they had already been running for over three hours now.
''How much farther?'' Lin Mu asked the twins through his link.
''We''re getting closer…'' The Twins replied unable to give an exact estimate.
Lin Mu furrowed his brows but didn''t ask further. It was already a surprise that the twins had managed to detect anything, that too from such a distance. But now that they had, there was no way Lin Mu and the others were going to let go of it.
They even ignored the Chimeric Beasts they saw on their way, as they knew they needed to prioritize the task at hand. If they got dyed by it, who knows if they might miss their target by a few moments.
This was also what worried Lin Mu the most, thinking that their target might have already sensed them or know that they wereing. As such, they would have plenty of time to escape.
But the twins had informed him earlier that the target hadn''t moved at all.
This made Lin Mu think whether the target was another maggot that was stationary or something else.
The Twins didn''t know what they were sensing either, only that it was a smell simr to the ck Fin Ind members. Lin Mu hoped that it was indeed them and that they would be able to extract more information this time around. And once he finally saw what it was, his eyes lit up.
"Is that… A whole camp?" Daoist Chu spoke as he leaned to take a better look.
The others looked as well and saw a ratherrge camp that was obviously man made. Though it was built using the remnants of old buildings too, which showed that there had been a city or town here in the past.
Lin Mu reckoned it was one of the remnants of the Sacred Tear Tribe that had once lived in this Spatial ne.
In the camp though, they couldn''t see any people and neither were there any Chimeric Beasts here. ~SHUA~
Lin Mu''s immortal sense quickly reached the camp and swept through it, trying to find out what was inside.
"There''s no one there." Lin Mu said, his frown deepening. "Looks like we werete." Crown Prince Feng Shun stated, looking at the state of the camp. "They have certainly left in a rush." He added.
~HISS~
It was now that Xiao Yin hissed in rm.
"Underground!" She warned.
~THUD~
~CRASH~
Little Shrubby immediately dug his ws into the rocky ground and braked while the others held on tightly.
They were still two kilometers from the camp and managed to stop in time. ~SHUA~
Lin Mu''s spatial perception activated immediately as he looked down. And sure enough, it was exactly what he had thought of originally.
"Another Yin Nascent Soul Maggot." Lin Mu informed everyone.
His eyes could vaguely make out therge form of the maggot underground. Though rather than the creature itself, what Lin Mu was seeing was the silhouette of the energy being released from it against the spatial fabric.
Since his Spatial Perception couldn''t look ''through'' it unlike the ground and otherponents, it was easier to tell something was there this time around.
"We won''t let it get the upper hand this time." Crown Prince Feng Shun said as an invisible pressure was released from him.
"Wait," but Lin Mu made the man halt. "I''ll go gather whatever I can inside the camp first. It might help tell us where they went or where their other camps are." He stated.
"Won''t that be dangerous?" Daoist Chu asked. "What if the maggot attacks you before that?" "It''ll be fine. I can escape before it does that." Lin Mu was very sure of that. "At the very least, I''ll get some things that can give us clues. Better that than letting the entire camp get swallowed by the Yin Nascent Soul Maggot." He added.

"Very well." Crown Prince Feng Shun decided to trust the man.
"It won''t take long." Lin Mu said as he suddenly disappeared from Little Shrubby''s back.
~SHUA~
He appeared in the parallel dimension with Fade and immediately flew towards the direction of the camp. Since he had already calcted the distance with his immortal sense, he knew exactly how far to travel. Upon reaching that point, he canceled the skill and reappeared in the camp.
Of course, he didn''t touch the ground and kept all his energy fluctuations restrained so as to not alert the Yin Nascent Soul Maggot. While he didn''t know if the creature would sense them or had sensed them already, it was better to be cautious.
While floating in the air, Lin Mu transformed his immortal sense into hundreds of fine tendrils, that swam through the air to find anything of interest or use. Within seconds, Lin Mu got the information and moved there with Blink, thereby causing little to no vibrations.
~SHUA~SHUA~SHUA~
Lin Mu stored the things of interest in his ring without thinking much, knowing that any dy could cause the Yin Nascent Soul maggot to attack them. He repeated this several times, his form disappearing and reappearing across the camp.
It only took him two minutes to gather everything of interest before he reactivated Fade and entered the Parallel world.
~SHUA~
He then quickly returned to the side of hispanions and took a breath.
~HUU~
"That was certainly fast." Crown Prince Feng Shun said, seeing Lin Mu beside them.
"There weren''t many things to get." Lin Mu replied. "And I don''t think all of them will be useful, but I still got as much as I could there. They cleared out most of the things they could too." He exined.
