Lin Mu and the group were now about a hundred meters from the Broken Chasm. This was the closest part of the Broken Chasm near the tribe.
"I want to check something first. Just wait here for me." Lin Mu said before taking off.
Head Warrior Kulo watched on calmly, while the younger warriors shook at the sight of Lin Mu jumping into the Broken Chasm.
"Head Warrior Kulo! Why is noble Lin Mu going down there!? We need to save him!" The Young warriors didn't fully know that Lin Mu had gone down the Broken Chasm before as well.
"It will be fine. Just wait here." Head Warrior Kulo stated.
In the Broken Chasm, Lin Mu stabbed his hand into the wall while falling to slow down.
~CRACK~
The wall cracked under the momentum, and a long channel had been dug out due to this. The channel was about two hundred meters long, as that was how much it took to stop Lin Mu's fall.
"Just about the right position." Lin Mu said as he saw the dark dusty fog just a short distance away from him.
He looked at the two twin snakes and spoke, "do you two want to eat that?" Lin Mu pointed.
The two snakes glanced at the dark fog, before the Black twin opened its mouth.
~WHOOSH~
It sucked in the air, pulling in the dark fog with it.
~ACK~ACK~ACK~
But just after taking in a small part of the fog, the black snake stopped and coughed out what she had sucked in.
~HISS~
She hissed in distaste and curled back up.
"Huh… guess this doesn't work." Lin Mu understood.
He narrowed his eyes and activated spatial perception. He had already known that the reason why the Chasm Beasts were formed had something to do with the energy that came from a different plane.
'The dark fog here is more like a construction materials. It only becomes 'alive' when the energy from the other plane is inserted into it.' Lin Mu thought to himself. "Perhaps only when the two are combined can the snakes eat it." He determined.
~Sigh~
"Guess we'll have to take the tougher route." Lin Mu sighed.
~SHUA~
He pushed the hand that was struck in the wall and sent himself flying out of the Chasm.
~THUD~
His body landed on the ground, cracking it in the process.
"He's fine?" The young warriors were surprised and relieved at the same time.
"Did you find what you wanted?" Head Warrior Kulo asked.
"Mm… the Dark fog is really inert at this time. Almost harmless." Lin Mu replied.
"Maybe we'll never learn the mysteries of the Broken Chasm." Head Warrior Kulo said before looking in the distance.
"Mmhmm… though it won't matter much once we leave this place." Lin Mu replied.
The younger warriors simply stayed silent, as they knew it wasn't their place to speak right now.
"We should continue. It will take us a while to reach the first possible location." Head Warrior Kulo stated.
"Alright." Lin Mu nodded his head before taking a leap.
The warriors began the journey for sure this time and continued traveling for about ten hours non-stop before taking a break. While Lin Mu and Head Warrior Kulo were fine and could go on for longer, the younger warriors needed time to recuperate.
"They've gotten faster." Lin Mu said while sitting on a boulder.
"It's all thanks to you. This batch of warriors is as strong as others who've had decades of experience." Head Warrior Kulo replied.
"Mmm… though the older warriors should have also become a lot stronger than before." Lin Mu spoke.
"That they have indeed. Though I've noticed that the younger members are faster at learning the martial techniques." Head Warrior Kulo said after thinking.
"Its just the result of an empty and fresh mind. Since they haven't learned anything before, they aren't as affected as the older warriors." Lin Mu reckoned.
"I just hope that they one day exceed us and become the glory of the tribe." Head Warrior Kulo muttered.
They rested like this for about an hour before the younger warriors were full of energy.
"Continue!" Head Warrior Kulo ordered, and started leaping again.
This time, they traveled for about four hours before they encountered what they had come for.
"Chasm Beasts!" The Younger warriors said with a hint of nervousness.
Lin Mu narrowed his eyes and counted their numbers.
'About ten of them… will that even be enough?' Lin Mu had seen the twins eat over a thousand Chasm beasts worth of Yin spirit Qi before.
~SHUA~
The twin snakes shot forth from his neck and attacked the Chasm Beasts before Lin Mu could even say the next sentence.
"Guess it's already a miracle that they were patient for over fourteen hours." Lin Mu shook his head.
The younger warriors could only see two streaks of light traveling fast and piercing through the Chasm Beasts within seconds. Before they could even comprehend it, the chasm beasts collapsed and turned into dark dusty fog that started to drift towards the Chasm.
~WHOOSH~
The black snake opened her mouth and inhaled all the fog. Since there was barely a fraction of the previous amount, it took her less than five seconds to suck it all.
~SHUA~
The two snakes returned to Lin Mu, and the black twin released Yang spirit Qi for the white twin to consume.
The whole process took less than a minute to be done, leaving the Haima Warriors dumbstruck.
Lin Mu watched the snakes, and saw that they didn't fall asleep this time. Instead, they felt a bit more restless.
"Let's continue. We need more Chasm Beasts." Lin Mu stated.
"LEAP!" Head Warrior Kulo ordered, and they traveled further.
Six hours later they encountered another isolated group of Chasm Beasts, which were quickly killed and consumed by the black snake.
This process repeated about ten more times, during which three days had passed.
~HUALA~
But while they were taking rest, strong energy fluctuations suddenly appeared accompanied by spatial disturbance.
"Someone's arriving!"
