Walker Of The Worlds

The location that Lin Mu had just seen was a mountain that was one of the tallest ones in the sinkhole. He had seen it while falling down and it was the tallest object in his view. This plane was far bigger than the one at the Ripple Mist sect and at this point, Lin Mu was sure that it was possibly bigger than the entire Shuang Qian kingdom in size.

"Even Adviser Chu didn't know just how big this place truly was and had barely scratched the surface of it when he explored it. My estimate might not even be close enough." Lin Mu muttered to himself.

"Minor planes like these can be up to ten percent the size of the world they are anchored to." Xukong suddenly spoke.

"Huh? What!? TEN PERCENT!" Lin Mu was shocked to hear that.

"Yes, ten percent. Of course, that is the maximum estimation that I can give you, it is likely to be smaller than that.." Xukong replied.

"Ah… if it really is ten percent then… I don't even know if a year would be enough for us to find it." Lin Mu said.

One must know that the entire Great Zhou Continent along with the Northern Tribe's territory was barely thirty percent the size of the entire Xiaofan world the remaining seventy percent of the world was covered with water and was inhabitable for humans at least.

If the minor plane was really ten percent in size, it meant that it was one third the size of the entire Great Zhou continent. One must know that it had taken Lin Mu nearly six months to travel half way across the continent and this was at his full speed.

If it really came to searching on his own, it would be close to impossible for him to do so in the given time constraints.

"The mountain is really tall… I don't think I've seen one this tall before." Little Shrubby spoke.

"Indeed. I think mountains this tall are only in the northern mountain range back home." Lin Mu agreed.

The two of them flew to the mountain while keeping an eye on the surroundings.

~Piiiii~

Their vigilance turned out to be correct as several bird beasts came to attack them.

"Bah! Annoying," Lin Mu said as he sent out the short sword to deal with the bird beasts. 

~PIIII~

Six of the bird beasts were killed rather quickly, but the cry they let out attracted more of the bird beasts. This time the cry that came was stronger than before. Lin Mu's spirit sense detected the presence of several Nascent soul realm beasts approaching them.

~Sigh~

"More enemies are coming," Lin Mu spoke.

"No, food… more food is coming." Little Shrubby replied while eyeing the corpse of the bird beasts that were dripping with blood.

Lin Mu could only chuckle and get ready for the first. The spirit Qi fluctuations he had detected were at the Infant soul stage thus they weren't much of a problem for him or Little Shrubby.

The bird beasts that had attacked him were at the Core condensation realm and were called as Dagger Beak Birds. As their name said, their beaks were sharp like daggers and they would kill their prey by stabbing them with it.

They would dive from the sky and pin the beast that was targeted on the ground. Lin Mu noticed the ground and saw that there were multiple holes in it as well. The more concerning thing was that the ground was mostly rock.

'Those holes are definitely caused by these Dagger Beak birds, will need to be careful with sneak attacks.' Lin Mu thought and changed the form of his spirit sense.

From the normal single tendril form, it changed to a net that spread around him equally. While this did reduce the overall range of his spirit sense it did allow him to sense everything within a five hundred meter radius.

~PIIIII~

The cry of the Dagger beak birds was heard again and Lin Mu spotted them approaching him from one of the cliffs. 

'That must be their nests.' Lin Mu took note.

Lin Mu waved his hand and several spirit weapons appeared in front of him. The short sword floated at his side and he held the Iron Thorn Spear in his right hand. Several smaller daggers floated above him as well along with a hatchet.

~ROAR~

Little Shrubby let out a thundering roar and was the first to act.

~WHOOSH~

Only a red streak was seen as he crashed head first with the first Infant Soul stage Nascent soul realm Dagger Beak bird. There were six in total and the strongest of them was actually at the Child Soul stage.

"Hmm, let's take out the leader first." Lin Mu said as he moved as well.

~Shua~shua~shua~

The spirit daggers were all launched at the same time and they flew towards the incoming Dagger Beak bird. The ones that were at the Infant soul stage flew to the side to dodge them, but that was exactly what Lin Mu wanted.

Now the Child Soul stage Dagger Beak beast was alone with another Dagger beak beast that was weaker than him and Lin Mu could attack it freely.

"Iron thorn Bloom!" Lin Mu chanted as the ability of the Iron Thorn spear activated.

~HONG~

The Spear lit up with a dark light as tens of dark blades burst out from its tip. The blades moved like deadly scythes through the air and hit the two Dagger Beak beasts. 

~PIIII~

The Child Soul stage Dagger Beak beast flapped his wings and created a barrier of Qi. The Qi was arranged in the shape of feathers and it was evident that this was a Qi skill it had learned itself or was innate to its kind.

~CLANG~

A few of the the black blades clashed with the barrier and were blocked but the rest hit the second dagger beak bird that was with it.

~KIYAAAA~

The Infant Soul stage Dagger Beak bird cried as it fell from the sky after having its wings injured.
