Walker Of The Worlds Chapter 1233: Hungry Snakelets

Chapter 1233: Hungry Snakelets

The actions of the black baby snake were confusing to Lin Mu. He could tell that the beast had been hungry, but to randomly consume the dusty black smoke that the Chasm beasts were made out of was a bit too much.
After all, Lin Mu didn't know what kind of effects this would have on the beast. What if it was toxic?
~hiss~
Just as Lin Mu was about to figure out his next step, he saw the white baby snake hiss gently at its twin. Then, as if understanding something, the black baby snake moved its head and raised it up straight.
~shua~
Then in the next moment, it spat out white smoke.
"Huh?" Lin Mu watched on in wonder as more and more white smoke came out of the black snake's mouth.
His spirit sense probed the white smoke, and he realized that it wasn't smoke at all. It was actually spirit Qi!
"Wait… isn't this?" Lin Mu's brows furrowed as he found the spirit Qi to be a bit different from he had expected.
At first he thought that it was the normal attribute-less spirit Qi, but it was not so. It was actually elemental spirit Qi.
"Yang spirit Qi?" Lin Mu finally guessed.
He had seen the impure Yang Qi in Gu Yao's hideout, but its color was greatly different than this. But even if the colors were different Lin Mu could sense the similarity in the two. There was no doubting it, the energy was Yang spirit Qi.
"Not just that… it is pure… the Yang Qi that Gu Yao used in the past is mud compared to this." Lin Mu muttered to himself.
The white baby snake opened its mouth and started to suck all the Yang spirit Qi that was in the form of white smoke. The process lasted for about five minutes before the black baby snake stopped.
~hiss~
~hiss~
The two siblings lightly hissed at each other before curling up and falling asleep. Lin Mu could sense the energy of both snakelets equalizing in that moment.
A few thoughts came to him as he discovered this.
'The Black snake shared the energy it got from consuming the dusty black smoke? But the forms were greatly different. Did it somehow digest and convert it to Yang spirit Qi?' Lin Mu wondered.
There were a lot of question in his mind but he understood that he would only be able to learn more after he observed the twin snakes. He probed both their bodies with his spirit sense and discovered them to be in the Nascent soul realm, or more accurately, at the Infant soul stage of the Nascent soul realm.
He could even see their tiny nascent souls floating in their Dantians.
"Their Dantians are massive!" Lin Mu discovered another thing.
In fact, they were far greater in size than Little Shrubby and perhaps Lin Mu himself. Lin Mu couldn't even tell how such a large Dantian would be formed when the beasts were only infants.
'And how much would they be able to expand once they grow more?' Lin Mu questioned.
~Rumble~
And while he was thinking all this, he felt a faint rumbling sound coming from the distance.
"The Chasm Beasts are coming. I best get back to the tribe." Lin Mu muttered to himself.
~THUD~
~CRACK~
Gathering power in his legs, Lin Mu leaped up high, soaring towards the ‘mountain'. He passed through the opening in the ground and made a temporary patch to the array.
'This should hold it till the array recovers on its own.' Lin Mu thought to himself before making his way to the outpost.
There, Elder Niji and the guards of Haima Tribe were already standing. And from the looks of it, they had just left the outpost.
"Noble Lin Mu!" Elder Niji called out.
Lin Mu came to a stop near them and saw them to be quite anxious, which was understandable considering the chaos that had just happened earlier.
"It should be fine now. The Earth Fixing Array should repair itself. I've patched the hole as well." Lin Mu spoke.
"Is that so? That's good then." Elder Niji took a breath of relief.
The Haima tribe guards calmed down as well seeing that their elder was relieved.
"What about the Chasm beasts? When I checked the last time, there were a lot of them outside the mountain." Elder Niji asked.
"They are all dead, though more should be arriving soon." Lin Mu replied, much to their surprise.
"They're dead?" Elder Niji had not expected that. "How?" he asked.
The first thought he had was that Lin Mu might have killed the beasts, but then there was no reason for him to do that, since the array would protect them anyway.
"Well… the same thing that caused the hole in the array killed the Chasm Beasts." Lin Mu replied.
"The light pillar?" Elder Niji asked in confusion.
"Yes, but they're not a light pillar." Lin Mu said and opened his left hand in which the twin snakes were balled up..
Elder Niji glanced at the calmly sleeping snakelets and was surprised.
"These… what are they?" Elder Niji questioned while the guards looked on curiously.
It was their first time seeing a snake, not to mention even Elder Niji had only read about them before.
"Well… They're snake beasts. But I don't know what kind of snake beasts they are yet." Lin Mu answered.
"And they caused all the light pillars and killed the Chasm Beasts?" Elder Niji found it to be unbelievable.
"Yes, it was their birth that caused the light pillar. As for the Chasm Beasts, they were seemingly hungry and ate them all… well, the dusty black smoke that composes them." Lin Mu answered.
Hearing all this, Elder Niji only found it all to be even more unbelievable. It was simply incomprehensible to him how such small creatures could cause this much chaos.
And what was even more surprising to him was that now those very troublemakers were calmly sleeping in Lin Mu's hand, without a care in the world.
