Chapter 1977 Meal Under A Rusty Sky

While Lin Mu spent the time in observing the formation array of the abode, Little Shrubby had gotten to making the food for him.

After all, that was the reason they had come here.

Lin Mu did not wish to go to any other place with people, since he had no idea if his hunger would go out of control again. If it did, he didn't know whether his control would be good enough to avoid attacking the humans.

And even if he didn't attack others, there was still a great chance he would damage the area and property. This would still offend the others, not to mention seeing Lin Mu in that state would certainly alarm them.

They would be very suspicious of Lin Mu and take him as an unorthodox cultivator or even worse a demonic cultivator. It was one thing that his ident.i.ty as the winner of the tournament of the four guardians was confirmed, but if others witnessed him in that state, the truth was bound to change.

At most, they would think that Lin Mu had somehow managed to hide his original ident.i.ty and fooled the others.

Even if the risk for this was low, Lin Mu would still not take the chances.

It would be a different thing if he was visiting people who already knew him, like the Crown Prince and his other companions. As they would still be a bit more understanding.

But if he visited a completely new organization as a guest and caused chaos there, the repercussions would be bad. To avoid all that, it was best he made sure his hunger was fully under his control before he went out.

???????.???

Lin Mu wasn't the only one who was a bit worried though.

The Saintess had some concerns as well, though they did not deal with Lin Mu, but rather something far from them.

She was currently sitting in the courtyard of the abode and had created her signature cloud furniture. A cup of tea was in her hands while her eyes remained closed under her veil.

Her senses were spread and covered a large portion of the Dao Wind Continent as well as the ocean surrounding it. 'That ominous feeling it was certainly that of death' The Saintess thought to herself.

Her senses continually scanned the area for any signs of it, but didn't find anything for now. But she didn't stop and continued her work.

A while later though, she was awakened by Little Shrubby's call.

"The food is ready!" Little Shrubby called out to everyone.

Lin Mu who was busy a.n.a.lyzing the formation array immediately got up and went to the dining hall that was part of the abode. Of course, it had no roof and one could see the open sky above it.

With the gap that had been opened due to the rich fire elemental immortal Qi, the Evergreen Pillar Bamboos did not block the view. Of course, the rust red sky left quite a bit to be desired as most of the stars simply couldn't be seen even at night time.

The countless asteroids...o...b..ting around the Rust Sky World made it hard to see stars as well as the other celestial bodies.

Though from time to time, one would see a falling meteor which would then glow like a star. Or there would be collisions between the different asteroids which would also make them explode, giving a starry look at times.

Though this very same starry look could turn into a fireworks show, as the exploding asteroid would impact the other asteroids around them and explode further.

This was a chain reaction and would only happen if the first exploding asteroid had enough energy inside it to trigger others to explode too. Normally, even a single asteroid exploding was rare. Especially after how many years had gone since the birth of the Rust Sky world. All the unstable and high energy asteroids that were to explode had already done so.

This was also why the sky of the Rust Sky world would get more and more blurry. The asteroids would breakup into smaller particles, eventually turning into dust that clouded the atmosphere of the planet.

One such asteroid exploded high above the Evergreen Pillars Forest, causing Lin Mu and the others to look up while they were busy having a feast.

"That looks beautiful." Lin Mu said as he looked at the flower like explosion happening high up in the sky.

Its size was quite small to be looked at from the naked eyes, but for Lin Mu who was a body cultivator, even a small explosion like that could be seen in a magnified view and the details could be made out.

"It sure is." The Saintess agreed while taking a sip of some stew that Little Shrubby had made.

Little Shrubby and the Yin Yang Twins had gathered a lot of beasts in their time exploring the forest. With Little Shrubby's speed and Xiao Yang's Flash Cleave Axe, basically no beast could stand up against them. Xiao Yin might be a bit weaker than her twin, but she was still at the Fourth Tribulation Stage of the immortal realm, making her power great against most beasts.

And when the trio worked together, nothing stood up against them.

"Is this a Fifth Tribulation Stage Silver Tusked Warthog?" Lin Mu looked at the giant beast that had been roasted whole.

"Yeah, we killed it together shortly before you came.." Little Shrubby replied.

"Whoa that's good." Lin Mu couldn't help but praise as he took a closer look at the beast's cooked corpse.

There were eight holes in its body that went from one end to the other. They seemed to be skewer holes, but they actually were made by the Yin Yang twins piercing through the body of the beast.

There were other injuries too, such as deep cut marks that broke half of the ribs diagonally, and one that had the beast's jaw shattering in four parts.
