Walker Of The Worlds

"There it is! That's the Cask Bile Beetle's territory." Hua Yi pointed.

Lin Mu observed the area in front of him that was vastly different from the other forests. In addition to the trees, there were thousands upon thousands of vines covering them. In some places, the vines were dense enough that one could not differentiate what was a vine and what was a tree.

The sky was almost entirely hidden as the vines covered the canopy of the trees and made a dense network.

"This is certainly different…" Lin Mu said as his spirit sense extended.

It was not just the appearance of the area that was different, but its feeling was different as well. While Lin Mu could feel the common vitality and life of a forest from the area, the silence that was filling the area was unsettling.

"Don't be mistaken Senior Lin Mu. This is just because it is day time right now. The Cask Bile beetles are sleeping at this time. But once it is day time, they will start pouring out in droves and you will find yourself irritated by the constant noise." Hua Yi explained.

"I see…" Lin Mu replied, recalling the information that he had read about the said insect beasts.

"They are also rather foul smelling, aren't they?" Lin Mu questioned.

"Oh, they are indeed." Hua Yi said, wrinkling his nose, as if the memory offended him. "I still feel nauseous when I think of them."

"I can understand… I recently had an encounter with something that was rather foul as well." Lin Mu said in sympathy.

The two checked the area with their spirit sense before proceeding.

"We should try to get as close to the center as possible before night. It will be very difficult after that." Hua Yi said.

"Very well," Lin Mu said before withdrawing several spirit weapons.

All of the spirit weapons shot out and chopped all the vines that were obstructing their path.
