Walker Of The Worlds

There were hundreds of them all sleeping in front of him. The beetles were as big as a palm and were covering the ground, the trees, and even the canopy above, hanging upside down.

Their bodies were unlike any other insect beast that Lin Mu had seen till now. There was a cylinder shaped growth on the beetle's back that seemed to be filled with some kind of a fluid.

The 'container' or the 'cask' was translucent, like that of a mosquito's belly, and the liquid inside could be seen.

"So that's their 'bile'." Lin Mu pointed.

"Indeed, senior. They will explode that cask when they are attacked and spray the bile everywhere. While it is not corrosive or toxic, it is still strong enough to knock a person out.

Even Nascent soul realm cultivators have fallen prey to these beetles, despite them being weak." Hua Yi informed.

Lin Mu raised his brows as he felt the cultivation base of the beetles, finding them to be barely at the Qi refining realm. There were a couple that were at the core condensation realm and biggest of them all.

"How do we proceed from here?" Lin Mu asked.

"Usually we would go around an area like this, but unfortunately for us the area that we want to go is beyond them." Hua Yi spoke. "They aren't this concentrated like a wall and we would have been able to find an empty path out, but we can't in the current condition." He explained.

"Hmm… I see." Lin Mu replied and tried to think of a solution.

His spirit sense scanned the area and checked if there was anything else in there. After a minute, Lin Mu made up his mind.

"Little Shrubby… Burn it all down." Lin Mu stated.

~BOOM~

Not even a moment later, the beast obliged and spat out a stream of flames that burned through everything that was on the path.

deep breath, Lin Mu closed his eyes. A few seconds later he opened them
