Walker Of The Worlds

"That's a lot of them…" Lady Kang looked at the wide valley filled with thousands upon thousands of lava creatures.

"Those slugs we saw were indeed just one variant… there are more of them." Lin Mu said he saw lava creatures that looked like various animals.

There were lava wolves, lava foxes, lava tigers, lava snakes, and many kinds of lava insects. 'If there's so many of them here, there's bound to be a key nearby.' Lin Mu thought to himself as his eyes observed everything.

The lava creatures were all moving around randomly, as if they were mindless puppets. Which they may as well be.

But as Lin Mu and Lady Kang observed they started to find some patterns.

"There," Lady Kang pointed to a spot that was roughly half a kilometer away. "Look at that squirrel." She spoke.

"Oh?" Lin Mu narrowed his eyes as he glanced at a rather small lava creature. Unlike the others that were at least a meter in size, this one was just half a meter tall. Of course, compared to a normal squirrel it was still quite big, but it stood out here. "The other lava creatures seem to be moving around it but don't come too close." Lady Kang replied. "As if they are—"

"Guarding it." Lin Mu finished her words.

~SHUA~

His Immortal sense directly probed the lava squirrel and quickly found the reason. "Hah, so this time the key is kept with 'guardians'." Lin Mu laughed finding that the iron key was embedded inside the body of the lava squirrel.

"It's not the only one either." Lady Kang spoke as she picked up on more such creatures. "Look there," she pointed.

Lin Mu looked into the distance and found that another lava beast was surrounded by hundreds of its kin, but a distance was present between them. It was a small butterfly that flapped its wings and hovered in the same place.

And similar to the lava squirrel, the lava butterfly had the iron key embedded in its body too, contained within a sphere.

"Hmm, the lava beasts seem relatively uniform in terms of their strength." Lin Mu said as he used his immortal sense to analyze the beasts.
