Walker Of The Worlds

Lin Mu and Elder Niji set out to reach the target in the distance while the rest of the warriors followed. He finally got to see just how fast the people of the Haima tribe sprinted and it was certainly fast.

While it might not be comparable to that of Little Shrubby or Lin Mu's own speed, it was certainly a lot faster than any other cultivator at the same level. Then there was also the fact that he had yet to see other humans of this world and judge their standard, but Lin Wu wouldn't have to wait long now.

His group reached the target in about five minutes and soon saw it clearly.

"This…" Lin Mu came to a halt and was surprised by the person in front of him.

It was certainly a human, but he was not in a good state at all. His legs and arms were scabbed over as if they had been bleeding for a long time and his ribs were exposed from deep gashes.

It was a miracle as to how the man was even moving, even now. His eyes were dull and were half covered with matted hair that was caked in dust and dirt.

"Hey! Are you okay?" Lin Mu called out in Dao Script but received no answer.

He tried to speak a few more times, but the man didn't respond at all and continue to walk aimlessly.

"It's no use." Elder Niji placed a hand on his shoulder. "We've seen many others like him before. They are close to dead at this point and are living a hellish existence."

"W-what happened to him?" Lin Mu questioned.

"The Chasm Beasts… he clashed with them and was injured. He survived, but their toxins have basically wiped out his mind. Now he is only living on instinct." Elder Niji answered. "This is what the Chasm Beasts end up doing to those that survive their attacks."

"Then… does the Haima Clan also have such victims?" Lin Mu asked.

"No… we can't let them live on like that, so we help them find peace… in death." Elder Niji replied.

Lin Mu's expression fell, but he understood this was a better choice than letting them suffer. At the same time though, he now wondered just what kind of an existence the Chasm beasts were.

He had a hypothesis that the Chasm beasts were made out of the dark fog that filled the upper part of the chasm. But he himself had passed through it unaffected.

'If they have toxins too, then it should be part of the fog, right? How was I not affected?' Lin Mu wondered.
