1299 Sudden Appearance

The stone slab that Kunzi had thrown looked una.s.suming at first. But upon landing between the three rocks, the pale white crystal within it let out a faint light.

A mere moment was all it took for it to release a large amount of energy and explode!

~BOOM~

The explosion was loud enough that the scouts of the Haima Tribe in the distance heard it too.

What the h.e.l.l are those humans doing? One of the scouts said upon seeing the dust rising in the distance.

Who knows? Another one spoke.

~Sigh~

Lets just hope they dont trouble n.o.ble Lin Mu much.

Yeah, the faster he captures them the better for us. I wanna go back to the tribe and cultivate under the array again.

Back at the place where the explosion had happened, no sign of the three rocks could be seen. All that was left there was a shallow crater that was about six inches deep and some fragments of stones.

There was no burning or scorching of the ground either, showing that the explosion wasnt caused by heat or fire.

Seems like there wasnt anything there. Kunzi confirmed.

Yeah thankfully. Little Gian replied. Though do you think this will pull attention to us? he asked.

If you mean those four-legged freaks, then yeah. But then theyve already been tailing us for a month now. So there is no way they didnt know where we were since the start. Kunzi replied.

Then do you think theyll come close? Little Gian asked next.

No, I think this should serve as a good enough warning to them. Kunzi replied.

Yeah Little Gian agreed.

Ill get back to work. Kunzi sat down and was just about to pick up the stone slab he was working on when he felt a chill go down his back.

This is some interesting stuff. A voice suddenly spoke in the darkness.

p (O)

Who?! Little Gian heard it too and looked down knowing that this wasnt Kunzis voice at all.

There they saw a pair of eyes that were barely illuminated by the dim light coming from the hole.

What was most shocking though was the fact that they were barely a meter away from Kunzi.

Who what is that? Kunzi wondered.

He couldnt understand how anything could get in here. Logically speaking, there was just one entrance to the little cave they had made and there were no signs of anything digging in either.

~shua~

A small flame lit up in the air next to the pair of eyes, revealing its appearance.

A man? Little Gian finally saw.

p O.O A human? Kunzi felt a little relieved at the fact that it was a human and not some other strange creature.

()

No, I cant lower my guard. If he can get in, then he must be dangerous! Kunzi realized he had almost made a mistake.

Who are you? Kunzi asked warily.

Dont worry, I wont do anything to you. Lin Mu spoke. As long as you two dont do anything stupid. He added.

~gulp~

And why should we believe you? Little Gian questioned, while secretly circulating his spirit Qi.

He was ready to act the moment anything happened.

~shua~

Well, for starters. Lin Mu lightly spoke before a wave of spirit Qi spread from him. If I wanted to, I could have suppressed you two from the start. He stated.

D-Dao Dao Treading realm. Little Gian and Kunzi both recognized.

This pressure Hes close to becoming an immortal too. Kunzi who had better senses, realized.

Correct. Lin Mu nodded his head. Now then, why dont we all peacefully talk? You two have made my friends chase you for quite a while now.

Your friends? Little Gain said in confusion. But we didnt see anyone else?

Kunzi though, seemed to have guessed.

Those four legged creatures those are your friends? Kunzi asked warily.

Yes. Theyve been trying to talk to you since the start, but you all just kept on running, Lin Mu replied.

Humph, you really expect us to believe some strange things in the Land of Exile, of all places? Kunzi retorted.

That does make sense. Lin Mu nodded. Though I a.s.sure you, they only meant to talk to you. He said, but it didnt make the Kunzi and Little Gian feel any safe.

Lets do it like this. How do I make you trust me? Lin Mu asked.

Kunzi furrowed his brows and thought for a few seconds before replying. Tell us who you are and what those creatures are first. Then what is it that you want with us?

Alright. Lin Mu agreed. I am Lin Mu, and those people so saw earlier are the members of the Haima Tribe.

Kunzi didnt forget to pickup the word tribe, which made him raise a brow.

A tribe? You mean to say, there is an entire tribe of those creatures? Kunzi found it hard to believe.

The common knowledge about the Land of Exile dictated that there was danger everywhere and most people would not survive for long. For a tribe to have formed in that time was astonis.h.i.+ng. Especially considering that they were certainly not human.

If it was a human tribe, I would have understood, as it would just mean the exiled humans have banded together. But those Haima tribe members Ive never heard or seen any of them before. Either they are very rare, or natives of this place, Kunzi quickly a.n.a.lyzed.

Thats right. They do have a tribe, and it is also where Im residing. You should come with me. There is plenty of food and water, along with shelter from danger. Lin Mu answered. And just to prove to you he then took out a basket full of Stone Flesh Mushrooms.

~thud~

Lin Mu also put down a barrel full of water.

Seeing this, the two humans were surprised, but didnt take things directly.

What do you want in exchange? Kunzi asked carefully.

I want to know information. Such as who you two are, where you came from and what is the situation outside. Lin Mu stated plainly.
