Chapter 1277 Rising Chasm Beast Numbers



Chapter 1277 Rising Chasm Beast Numbers

  ”The Chasm beasts are appearing in great numbers again?” Lin Mu furrowed his brows upon hearing this. “How great do you mean by this?” he asked for clarity.

”Yes, they have started to appear more often now. While the numbers aren’t the same as when there was a large scale tide, there are still more Chasm beasts than usual for this time of the year.” Elder Niji replied.

”I see… how much do you think they would be when compared to the large scale beast tide?” Lin Mu questioned, after thinking for a bit.

”Hmm.. About eight to ten percent?” Elder Niji estimated.

”Eight to ten… that’s a large number.” Lin Mu couldn’t help but say.

”That is indeed true.” Elder Niji agreed, knowing that the normal number of Chasm beasts was barely around 1% of the large scale tide most of the time.

”Are there any casualties?” Lin Mu questioned next.

”Injuries? Yes. But no actual Casualties so far. Our people have grown stronger and now even a child is able to defeat a Chasm Beast.” Elder Niji answered with a little pride in his tone.

Lin Mu was still worried though and asked more questions to the old man.

During this he learned that a few small tides of Chasm Beasts had actually come close to the land of the Haima. Mostly attracted due to the large army practicing and sparring outside in the wasteland.

They desired nothing more than the flesh of the creatures and would do anything to get it. But even then they were cautious and would avoid to appear in front of a large number of foes.

’This doesn’t add up. There is nothing that mentions about such a change in the history of the Haima tribe. And neither is there anything about the sudden increase in Chasm beast numbers.’ Lin Mu thought to himself.

~Hiss~

He heard the light hiss from his neck and decided to deal with two problems in one go.

”I’ll head out to check it myself, then Elder Niji. Maybe we’ll get insights into the behavior of the Chasm Beasts.” Lin Mu stated.

”If you wish to do so, please feel free. You can also take any of the Haima members on the surface up there. They will gladly follow you.” Elder Niji replied. “Plus, they are now experienced and strong, so you shouldn’t have to babysit them.” He added.

”I”ll see what to do. Though I won’t be needing them.” Lin Mu said before pointing to the baby snakes. “They are the ones going to be doing the hunting.”

”No wonder.” Elder Niji already knew that the twin snakes liked to consume Chasm Beasts.

They were still young and needed to grow with lots of nutrients. Thus, this was the best choice of action.

”I shall head out then.” Lin Mu said before leaving through the ‘hatch’ at the top of the mountain.

Upon leaving, he saw two guards standing right next to the gate of the Haima tribe.

~HAAA~ HAA~ HAA~ HAAA~

And at the bottom, Lin Mu saw the Haima tribe people sparring and practicing. He saw both familiar and unfamiliar faces, with most of them being the Scout members.

”Noble Lin Mu!” the Haima people spotted him quickly and Head Warrior Kulo was the first to reach him.

”Where are you going?” Head Warrior Kulo asked curiously.

”The twin snakes need to be fed again.” Lin Mu answered shortly.

”Ah, I see.” Head Warrior Kulo replied. “Would you like me to accompany you?” he asked.

”No. It won’t be necessary. But I would like some help in pointing out where the Chasm Beasts are the greatest in numbers.” Lin Mu asked instead.

”That’ll be easy. As long as you walk alongside the border of the Broken Chasm, you will continue to encounter Chasm Beasts. There is a large limit to them, it seems.” Head Warrior Kulo stated.

”Alright.” Lin Mu replied but didn’t head out right away. “And what about our little ‘guest’? How does he fare these days?” Lin Mu questioned next.

”He is well. We give him Stone Flesh mushrooms every week and he eats them without a complain.” Head Warrior Kulo answered right away.

”Is that so? Guess I’ll talk to him too before leaving.” Lin Mu went to the ‘prison’ set up by him.

The prison was just a short leap away, and upon entering it, Lin Mu saw the prisoner fast asleep.

”Hey! Wake up!” Lin Mu knocked at the man.

”Ugh!” Huyun Chuan groaned and looked tired from all the beatings.

It was evident that the Haima tribe had taken good ‘care’ of the man in Lin Mu’s absences.

”It’s Y-you!” Huyun Chuan was startled.

He had not seen Lin Mu for a while now and was wondering if he had left. But it was clearly not so.

”Looks like you’ve had a nice rest here.” Lin Mu said, finding the man’s situation quite pitiful.

”It is acceptable.” Huyun Chuan said with a straight face.

”So far, there is no information about the people coming to get you. Are you sure they will really be arriving?” Lin Mu questioned seriously.

”Of course! They would do anything to get me back.” Huyun Chuan replied in a confident tone.

”Hmm… guess we’ll have to wait more.” Lin Mu replied before leaving without another word.

He had exhausted all the information that Huyun Chuan had given him. The only use Lin Mu had for the man was to obtain a way out. Once that was done, Huyun Chuan’s life would be up for a debate.

~hiss~

The twin snakes hissed lightly, and Lin Mu felt another wave of emotion from their link.

”Something approaching?” Lin Mu deciphered their emotions.

He continued to watch for a minute before finally spotting a group of Chasm Beasts approaching.

”Perfect. We can start with them.” Lin Mu said as he leaped into the air.

~WHOOSH~

His body soared through the air and was spotted by several Haima tribe people. Lin Mu didn’t mind them for now and simply focused on getting to the incoming Chasm Beasts.

~ZOOM~

Then, when he was close enough, the twins struck out!
