Chapter 2258 Safe Arrival
Chapter 2258 Safe Arrival
~SHUA~
Crown Prince Feng Shun and the others that were on Little Shrubby's back could sense loads sound coming from afar but didn't know what was that.
"Is that Daoist Mu Lin doing?" Qiao De wondered.
~HISS~
Xiao Yin that was sitting on Little Shrubby's head, informed him of the next change.
"Turn around and go left." The black snake spoke.
The others couldn't understand her words, but that was not an issue for Little Shrubby. Not to mention he was also getting the instructions from Lin Mu.
~SHUA~
~CRACK~
Little Shrubby abruptly breathed and flipped around, causing those on the back to be a bit surprised.
"Why are we going back?" Min Ju asked, since the path behind was soon going to be blocked by a Death Qi geyser.
"I think… it might be time." Daoist Chu spoke as he looked in the distance.
The others looked there too, as two small dots of light could be seen.
~WOOONG~
In less than a second, the dots of light intensified and almost blinded them. They came towards them almost instantly, startling them a bit.
"Beams of light?" Daoist Chu looked at the two beams that were now on their sides. "No… YANG QI." He realized.
"Looks like Daoist Mu Lin made it in time." Crown Prince Feng Shun was pleased.
The beams of light were incredibly bright and pierced through the geyser of Death Qi with ease.
As if two great blades cutting through cloth, they severed the Death Qi and created two long walls of pure Yang Qi. Each wall was a hundred meters tall and emanated massive amounts of Qi, causing the surrounding Death Qi to be purged or pushed away.
This created a safe corridor between the two beams, and was the path that Lin Mu had made for his companions.
"COME ON!" Lin Mu sent a message through the jade slip while also conveying the same to Little Shrubby.
~WHOOSH~
The beast spent no time and burst into a sprint, turning into a red blur that rushed through the corridor with the walls of Yang Qi.
"I never thought one could use the Dual Yang Repulsing Array like this," Daoist Chu muttered.
"If it is Daoist Mu Lin, then it was expected." Lady Kang spoke, having had the confidence in him since the start.
~SHAU~SHAU~SHUA~
"The strength of the Yang Qi is very good… It can actually push the Death Qi back several hundred meters." Elder Hu was impressed too, as he saw the state of the area.
"The consumption of Yang Qi would be very high though." Qiao De could barely imagine it. "Such thick Yang Qi barriers that are even extending now… They would definitely bankrupt many cultivators of they tried to use it even once." He added.
"This would only be possible if one has a steady source of Yang Qi." Ziran said, knowing that Lin Mu had made use of his tamed beast,
Without Xiao Yang, it would not have been possible. The group rode little Shrubby through the corridor and managed to cross over a hundred kilometers of distance in the shortest time possible. ~CRASH~
Little Shrubby used his claws to break as soon as he went past the outer barrier of the base, leaving long trails of claw marks on the ground. The group held on tight, as the momentum almost threatened to send them flying.
~WHOOSH~
Xiao Yin though, used it to jump off and rush towards Lin Mu right away.
~Hiss~
She wrapped around Lin Mu's arm and looked at him eagerly.
"You did well." Lin Mu said, petting the snake.
~HISS~
Xiao Yang felt left out, so he coiled around his other arm too. "You did well too Xiao Yang. We wouldn't have been able to get them here safely without you either." Lin Mu petted the white snake too.
~MEOW~
Of course, the last beast couldn't hold back after hearing that ands rushed into Lin Mu's embrace, shrinking back to his kitten form. This also ended up throwing everyone off, though they managed to land safely on tier own .
"And you too, Little Shrubby." With three beasts in his arms, Lin Mu had his work cut out for the time being.
Meanwhile, the group recovered from the sudden 'ejection' and looked at Lin Mu and his beasts.
"Well, I suppose they've earned that," Crown Princess Shang said, seeing the rather heartwarming scene. "Though… is it fine to just leave the path open?" she asked, looking back.
"It'll close on its own." Lin Mu replied. "The array cannot be shut down until it runs out of power anyways. I couldn't set up a 'shut down' function in time since the output needed to be very high." He added.
"Hmm… Won't that be a waste of the Yang Qi?" Daoist Chu asked. "The array will be inactive after that." He added.
"I've already disconnected the Yang Qi storage. So we'll have extra backup with it. This is just the Yang Qi that is already in the channels." Lin Mu answered.
"Ah, I see," Daoist Chu said in understanding.
And sure enough, a few seconds later, the two beams of Yang Qi seemingly shrank in size before dimming in intensity.
~SHUA~
The beams closed down and an empty corridor that was more than two hundred kilometers was left open.
~WOOSH~
But it didn't take long for the Death Qi to start reclaiming the area, as the geysers kept on spewing more and more of it. The fissures also expanded, totally surrounding the base with them. ~HONGLONG~
The base also responded automatically and recreated the barriers, closing the 'path' that was temporarily created from within it.
~DANG~DANG~DANG~
Several layers of barriers rose and protected the base as a large dome now encased it.
Everyone watched it closely, wondering how it'll hold up. While they had made this to be safe against Death Qi and other strong attacks, they didn't expect it to be such bad of a situation after all.
