Walker Of The Worlds

Lin Mu was taken aback by the sudden exclamation of Elder Niji, making him wonders if he had spoken something wrong.

"Is there something wrong?" Lin Mu asked in a concerned tone.

"Did you really spend a month in the Broken Chasm?" Elder Niji asked in disbelief.

"Yes… there's nothing down there. No beasts or any other life… no wait, there is some moss growing there." Lin Mu answered.

"How is that possible?" Elder Niji said under his breath.

"What kind of a danger is there in the Broken Chasm, anyway?" Lin Mu asked, wanting to know more.

"It is the greatest danger of the Land of Exiles… The Chasm Beasts. They are strange illusory beasts that don't have solid bodies. They live in the Broken Chasm and come out from time to time, spreading across the Barren plains, hunting for anything living." Elder Niji answered, much to Lin Mu's surprise.

"I… didn't see any of them down there. Is there something more to them?" Lin Mu was even more confused now.

"I… don't know… there should be Chasm beasts living there, I'm sure of this. I've seen them come out of there with my own two eyes." Elder Niji replied.

Hearing this, Lin Mu realized there was a discrepancy here.

"Wait, by seeing it yourself, do you mean you saw the bottom of the Chasm? Like you saw the beasts climbing all the way from the base?" Lin Mu asked for clarification.

"Of course not. The Chasm is bottomless… or so we've thought all these years. Our people who went there, either accidentally or intentionally, never returned." Elder Niji stated.
