Chapter 1980 The Saintess' Confusion

As Lin Mu observed everything, he understood several things about the bird as well as its bloodline.

Each of its physical characteristics were sourced from the impurities and it was unknown which impure bloodline contributed what part. 'The characteristic that are dominant though seem to be beneficial for the most part. Even if its appearance isn't good, the actual abilities seem to be decent.' Lin Mu thought to himself, having seen the bird.

In exchange for having a better vitality and resilience, it had a small size. But now, it seemed like its appearance had also become distasteful in exchange for some advantage.

As for what advantage that was, it was yet to be seen.

"At the very least, it needs to regrow its feathers. It won't be able to fly without them." Lin Mu muttered to himself.

Since the bird was still at the Dao Treading realm, it couldn't rely on its cultivation base to fly. It had to use its wings and body to fly like a normal bird.

Whereas if it were an immortal beast, even if it didn't use its wings, it would still be able to fly.

~SHUA~

And while Lin Mu was observing the bird, several presences appeared.

~HISS~

"We're back!" Little Shrubby's voice was heard while the twins accompanied him.

"Ah, did you manage to get more meat?" Lin Mu asked Xiao Yang.

"We did." Xiao Yang spoke and withdrew all the corpses that he had gathered.

~THUD~THUD~THUD~

Soon a pile of corpses appeared in front of it.

"I'll get to cooking them." Little Shrubby spoke, while also adding the beasts he had hunted to it.

"Mmhmm, they should help. But I think I'll need more." Lin Mu replied.

"We'll continue to hunt more." Xiao Yang said and quickly left with his sister.

~SHUA~

The two disappeared like two lightning bolts and soon the sound of beasts crying in the distance could be heard. It was clear that the two's presence was enough to terrify most beasts now.

'They're definitely getting better.' Lin Mu thought to himself, as he looked at the injuries on the beast corpses.

Other than those hunted by Little Shrubby, the others all had one or two holes in their bodies which were the main cause of death. Majority of them were in the head, though some of them were also in the torso, having pierced through the hearts of the beasts.

It was an effective way of killing the beasts and was also fast for the twins.

Plus not many would expect that the two serpents would rather choose to directly pierce through an enemy with their entire body, than attack them with skills.

It could allow the two to catch several beasts off guard, as they were not used to a tactic like this.

~SIZZLE~

Soon the sound of meat cooking could be heard, as Little Shrubby chopped and skinned the beast corpses.

Lin Mu ate the meat once it was ready, while Xiao Yin and Xiao Yang came again to drop off another batch of corpses.

And while Lin Mu was busy filling his stomach, the Saintess was feeling confused.

Tens of Thousands of kilometers west of the Dao Wind Continent, the vast ocean extended as far as one's eyes went. In this great ocean, ma.s.sive storms raged, tornadoes raged, and countless aquatic beasts ruled.

It was a place of absolute danger and all those that tried to pa.s.s through this ocean on a s.h.i.+p would find it quite difficult. Unless they were strong or had good protective s.h.i.+ps, one was bound to end up at the bottom of the ocean instead.

But to the Saintess, the entire ocean may as well be a tiny pond.

A flick of her wrist was enough to disperse storms, while her breath was enough to calm the toiling seas. And her mere presence was enough to terrify the beasts to no end, causing them to stay hidden deep in the ocean, afraid to even release a little bubble.

As such wherever she pa.s.sed, an astonis.h.i.+ng scene could be seen.

Clouds would part, and the water would become still, allowing her to fly with ease.

Her destination was unknown and would be impossible to think for many. It was a place that was filled with storms that never stopped, and a blinding rain that masked one's vision.

With no light to see, and the dense cover of rain, one would find it hard to find their way here.

Not to mention, see anything that was present here.

~shua~

And yet, as soon as the Saintess appeared there, the clouds faded away into nothingness, the rain stopped and the wave calmed down.

This allowed a rather shocking scenery to be revealed.

Hidden in the perpetual storms were hundreds of islands.

It was an archipelago that had been unknown to the people of the Rust Sky World. But that didn't mean that there were no people that knew about it. This was proved by the human made structures that were scattered around the islands.

The Saintess looked at one of these particular islands and landed on it.

In front of her stood a small shrine that had a stone arch behind it.

"Hmm. Shamanic Script of the Demon Tribe." The Saintess recognized the motifs on the shrine as well as the stone arch. "Mixed with Dao Script and some dialect of the Rust Sky World." She observed further. Her brows furrowed as she felt the ominous energy that was pulsing from the shrine from time to time.

~SHALA~

"There it is," The Saintess felt the spike in the ominous energy.

This was the same energy she had felt earlier when she was with Lin Mu. She had been tracking it down, and had sensed that it would pulse from time to time.

That was also why she had managed to make her way here.

And now that she was here, she wanted to know just why was there such ominous energy here.

It was certainly not something that should be present in an Immortal world.
