Walker Of The Worlds-Novel

Chapter 1224 The Chasm Beasts

　　'It's almost like a footwork technique, but without any specialized spirit Qi circuits.' Lin Mu thought.

　　This also gave him the idea of picking a footwork and movement technique for the Haima tribe. From what he could see they already had a natural skill in this, and their agility was good. Adding a footwork and movement technique would be the same as adding wings to a tiger and they might become a lot stronger.

　　'Though there is still the issue of incompatibility. Hmm… maybe a technique that only utilizes the meridians in the legs might work? It is isolated enough that the interference from other circuits might not be there.' Lin Mu analyzed.

　　In his ring, Lin Mu quite literally had a library full of skills. These skills encompassed all that the alliance had, even some of the incomplete and damaged skills were there. The patriarchs of the Alliance had gifted him this long before the final battle, but he had yet to get a proper look through it.

　　"I should search through it, there must be something." Lin Mu muttered to himself.

　　"@#%&%^$" Then in the next second, he heard Head Warrior Kulo speak something.

　　"We halt here." Elder Niji translated.

　　They came to a stop, and Head Warrior Kulo stood on top of a mound observing the distance. 

　　"@#%&#%@&" The head warrior said something in a low voice.

　　"He says, the Chasm Beasts are circling something in the distance." Elder Niji stated.

　　"Circling something? They caught someone?" Lin Mu too climbed up on the mound and gazed in the distance following Head Warrior Kulo.

　　There he saw some small black figures moving around in circles. 

　　"I thought the Chasm Beasts didn't behave like normal beasts and were aggressive against all prey?" Lin Mu asked in doubt.The most update n0vels are published on ɴo(v)elFɪre.net

　　"Yes… which is why this is strange. We should be cautious." Elder Niji said with a serious face.

　　Something that could cause the Chasm Beasts to change their normal behavior was possible extraordinarily. The group of three approached the area cautiously, and Lin Mu finally got to take a proper look at the Chasm Beasts.

　　The ones in front of them were the size of dogs and were considered the smallest Chasm Beasts. Their skin was furless and had a dark black texture that seemed to be dusty. There were eight of them going around in circles.

　　They had six legs, all of which had three claws on them that were perfect for tearing flesh. Instead of a tail though, they had a ridge on their back that extended outwards from where the tail should have been.

　　This protrusion was rigid and did not move like a tail. It wasn't that long either being only ten centimeters long. The most eye-catching feature though was their head. Their lower jaw was like that of a crocodile, having fangs that jutted outwards.

　　But their upper jaw was different, being shaped like a beak and having no teeth on it. The end of this beak was hooked and a sharp metallic glint could be seen on it. The eyes of the Chasm Beasts were an empty black, as if there was no actual eyeball in the sockets.

　　Their forehead was also broad, propping upwards like a shield. 

　　Glancing at the Chasm beasts though, Lin Mu felt like they were a bit familiar.

　　'Did I read about them somewhere?' Lin Mu thought to himself but couldn't recall where.

　　"What's that?" Elder Niji said as he pointed at an object that was lying in the center.

　　The object shone slightly and reflected a faint light. Lin Mu's eyes focused on it and discovered that it looked like a broken chest plate.

　　"An armor?" Lin Mu narrowed his eyes.

　　"#*&%#*^" Head Warrior Kulo spoke something at this time.

　　"We should take this chance to attack the Chasm Beasts while they are distracted." Elder Niji translated.

　　"Alright." Lin Mu didn't have any problem.

　　He too wanted to get closer and sense just how the bodies of the Chasm Beasts were. His spirit sense couldn't reach them from here, and he wondered what mysteries they held within them.

　　Barely a minute later, Lin Mu and the two were already close to the Chasm Beasts.

　　~WHOOSH~

　　The first to attack was Head Warrior Kulo as he leaped up and struck down with a stone spear, directly impaling one of the Chasm beasts.

　　~GUZAAAA~

　　A strange roar was let out by the Chasm Beasts and they became agitated. The huffed out black smoke, looking angry, and charged at Head Warrior Kulo. But before they could go any closer, Head Warrior Kulo threw two javelins at them.

　　~SHUA~ Shua~

　　The Javelins soared through the air and accurately struck two Chasm Beasts. It went smoothly though their head all the way to the base of their tail. 

　　~BOOM~ BOOM~

　　The next attack came from Lin Mu as he directly appeared at the back of the Chasm Beasts. Elder Niji and Head Warrior Kulo were shocked at this sudden appearance.

　　'Wasn't he right next to me a moment ago?' Elder Niji was confused.

　　They watched as Lin Mu directly punched with his fists. They struck the sturdy backs of the Chasm Beasts and cracked it effortlessly. The two fists were directly buried into the flesh of the Chasm Beasts and ended their life.

　　Elder Niji got out of his shock as well and killed two more Chasm Beasts with the staff he had been carrying around all this time. 

　　Now only one Chasm Beast was left, and it looked at the humans wearily.

　　"Wait." Lin Mu spoke. "I want to see what it does." He added.

　　"We can't wait for long as other Chasm beasts might come soon from their cry earlier. They can sense their kin dying nearby." Elder Niji replied.

　　"Won't take long." Lin Mu said as he directly used blink and appeared on top of the Chasm Beast.

　　~THUD~

　　His weight directly pressed the beast onto the ground, cracking its back.
