Chapter 1079 - Swallowing

"That makes sense. Qingling, you are a Holy Spirit after all, and you think a lot more than me. However, I am still unable to grow and nurture this Spirit Seed right now. How should I preserve it?"

Being told by the green spirit, the importance of the spirit seed in Li Mu's hands immediately increased by a large amount. However, he did not know how to handle the spirit seed in his hands.

The spirit did not have any reservations towards Li Mu, and directly told the method of storing the spirit seeds to Li Mu.

Hearing this, Li Mu immediately followed the method that Qing Ling explained and sealed the green spirit seed in her hand into a piece of top quality crystal. Although the top quality crystal was rare, Li Mu had obtained some at the plateau before, so he didn't use them much.

Once everything was ready, Li Mu followed the route that he had memorized and under the protection of the Void Talisman, he continued to return home.

With the Eye of Karma acting in advance and the protection of the Void Talisman, Li Mu basically did not encounter any attacks from the spatial rifts on his way back. Although he had taken several detours, he had been following the same route as before.

Several hours later, a huge lake appeared in Li Mu's line of sight. Li Mu could not estimate just how large the lake was because it continued to line up several huge mountain ranges and obstructed Li Mu's line of sight.

Li Mu remembered that when he was waiting for people to arrive, he pa.s.sed by this lake too, but they did not encounter any trouble and quickly jumped over, so he did not pay much attention to it.

Just as Li Mu was wondering, on the surface of the lake not too far away from him, an astonis.h.i.+ng water column that was a few hundred metres tall suddenly rushed out. Right after, the water in the lake turned back, and a blue figure that looked extremely pathetic flew out.

Upon seeing the blue figure that suddenly appeared, Li Mu's face changed, this person was none other than Xiao Ya! Without saying a word, the river crossing step beneath his feet moved, directly moving to Xiao Ya's side.

"Xiao Ya, are you alright? What's going on?"

Looking at the wet and miserable Xiao Ya, Li Mu asked.

When Xiao Ya saw Li Mu, his originally gloomy expression immediately became better. She wanted to explain to Li Mu, but just at this moment, the lake below gave rise to a huge wave, and an ugly looking monster's head suddenly popped out of the water, opening its mouth that was tens of metres wide, it quickly rushed towards Li Mu and Xiao Ya. Xiao Ya was about to bite.

Li Mu was shocked by the sudden scene, he extended his hand out to grab the panic-stricken Xiao Ya, then with a horizontal movement in the air, he retreated more than a thousand meters and dodged the monster's attack.

"What the h.e.l.l is this thing!"

The beast's head was about seventy to eighty meters long. Its neck was very long, and the exposed part looked like a snake. However, the shape of its head was very different from a snake's head.

"This is a terrifying prehistoric demon beast, it must be at least at the peak of the Monster King level. Sister Hua Yun was swallowed whole by it!"

Xiao Ya had obviously fought with the strange beast before, and spoke with an anxious tone.

"What!?" You said that Hua Yun was swallowed whole by it! "

When Li Mu heard that Hua Yun had been devoured, his expression immediately changed. And at this time, the strange beast was already underwater, in a few breaths, it was already not far from Li Mu and Xiao Ya.

"This beast, it actually swallowed Hua Yun! See if I chop off its head or not!"

"Roar!"

Seeing Li Mu rus.h.i.+ng towards it and launching an attack, the gigantic beast opened its mouth and faced the dozen or so Golden Geng Sword Qi s that shot towards it, and suddenly spat out a white stream of water, which smashed onto the dozen or so Golden Geng Sword Qi s.

The Golden Geng Sword Qi was washed away by the white water pillar and scattered into the air. Soon after, it disintegrated, all of it turning into nothingness.

"Xiao Ya, you retreat to the side. The difference in strength between this beast and you is simply too enormous. You can't help me with anything, you might even distract me!"

Facing the gigantic water pillar attack, Li Mu said to Xiao Ya, following that, his two fingers formed two lines of white light, which brought along a bone piercing chill, and shot into the white water pillar.

Although the white pillar of water was not weak, after Li Mu's two white beams of light entered the water, it instantly congealed and quickly condensed into an ice pillar. The white colored ice spread extremely quickly, following the water pillar and headed straight for the huge beast's head, and it was about to fall into the beast's mouth.

Although the gigantic beast did not seem to have intelligence, its reaction was not slow. Seeing that the ice was about to spread to its mouth, it immediately stopped spraying water. The white ice pillar fell into the water and then sank to the bottom.

When its attack was disintegrated by Li Mu, the huge beast let out a roar, and a white sound wave came out of its mouth, rus.h.i.+ng towards Li Mu as it rushed out of a huge ditch on the water surface.

Under Li Mu's orders, Xiao Ya had already retreated far away. When Li Mu saw that the huge beast was attacking him again, a gold light flashed under his feet, and he instantly turned into a dozen or so golden figures, dodging the huge beast's sound wave attack from the front, and went around to the back of the huge beast.

Li Mu circled behind the huge beast, then immediately unleashed a dragon claw hand with a shout from his original body, causing it to transform into a ten metre long Golden Claw in the air. Taking advantage of the huge beast's slow reaction, it grabbed onto the huge beast's neck.

As its neck was grabbed by the golden dragon claw, the huge beast continued to struggle, trying to struggle free from the dragon claw's restraints. But since Li Mu's dragon claw hand was a Heaven Rank divine ability, it was naturally not something that could be broken easily.

"Evil creature, hand over your life!"

As the gigantic beast struggled nonstop, Li Mu bellowed, he took out the semisage s, then activated them to transform into a hundred meter long silver ruler's light, and slashed towards the gigantic beast's neck.

Just as Li Mu's silver ruler light was about to cut the huge beast's neck, at this time, something that Li Mu never would have thought of happened. In the water below him, a huge wave was surging, followed by a huge turtle head crawling out of the water, and biting towards Li Mu.

"AHH!"

Li Mu was completely unguarded against the beast that had appeared in the water below him. In the blink of an eye, it was right in front of him, but he had no time to escape, and could only condense a green taixuan wood cover outside his body. Then, both he and the light s.h.i.+eld was swallowed by the beast.

"NO!" Big Brother Li! "

Xiao Ya stood in the distance and watched Li Mu's battle. Seeing that Li Mu was suddenly swallowed into the beast's mouth, her face turned pale white, he immediately rushed towards the beast, but before she could arrive, the two beast heads out of the water immediately sank into the water, disappearing without a trace.

When Xiao Ya rushed over, she only picked up the silver iron ruler that Li Mu left behind, and did not leave behind anything else.

"How could this happen, no! No way, Brother Li will not die! "

Only after an hour had pa.s.sed did Xiao Ya come out of the lake. However, she had returned empty-handed; she did not find any trace of Li Mu.

After Xiao Ya came out of the water, she wiped the tears off her face, then looked around herself and dove into the water once again. This time, she stayed under the water for 6 hours, but in the end, she still came out empty-handed.

She did not continue to search for traces of Li Mu underwater. She flew to the edge of the lake and sat down cross-legged, prepared to wait here, waiting for Li Mu to appear again …
