Walker Of The Worlds Chapter 1577 Human Targets

Chapter 1577 Human Targets

Lin Mu pondered over the gain of Qi from the Nascent souls, not finding them to be much.

"Even if I do gain some from it, it isn't that useful. I can gain a lot more Qi simply by manually cultivating." Lin Mu muttered to himself, thinking that there was certainly a lot more to the technique.

And as he thought about this, the mnemonic of the Murdering Heart Sutra rang within his ears again.

'Taking providence…' Lin Mu finally understood what he had missed. "So I need something lot more than just a beast soul…" he muttered.

With the idea in his mind, Lin Mu felt impatient. But before acting on it, he still decided to check the deactivation of the Murdering Heart Sutra.

~huu~

Taking a deep breath, he started to chant the Severing Heart Sutra.

~SHUA~

And as he chanted, the dark purple aura around him started to shrink. A few seconds later it had shrunk back into his body and a minute later, it was entirely gone.

"Just like we guessed." Lin Mu said before checking his body.

There were no changes in his body other than the decrease in the immortal Qi. The Qi he had gained from absorbing the souls of the beasts was not enough to compensate for the Qi that was consumed upon using the Murdering Heart Sutra.

"Let's look for someone that is not so righteous…" Lin Mu muttered to himself. "Little Shrubby, search for humans." He asked.

"Alright." Little Shrubby said before Lin Mu climbed onto his back.

~sniff~

The beast tried to look for scents while running around and soon found a few after ten minutes.

"I found some." Little Shrubby replied.

"How many?" Lin Mu asked.

"At least three… though there are a few more scents mixed in. Blood too." Little Shrubby answered.

"Blood huh… go to them." Lin Mu ordered.

Guessing that they might just be the kind of humans he wanted, Lin Mu decided to try his luck.

~WHOOSH~

The beast turned into a red blur and started to run towards the location of the humans. Following the scent, it only took them another ten minutes to get close to the humans.

"Alright, that's enough. I'll go on my own from here." Lin Mu replied.

"Will that be fine?" Little Shrubby asked in concern.

"I'll be fine, if they see you too they might run away." Lin Mu replied.

"Okay…" Little Shrubby nodded his head and agreed to wait.

Although it was unlikely that Lin Mu might need Little Shrubby's help, having someone watch for any anomalies was still good. Especially when he was testing out a technique that he was not wholly sure about.

Leaving Little Shrubby behind, Lin Mu started to walk in the direction of the humans. His immortal sense was extended, and he soon found the potential targets.

'They're covered with blood… but it's not theirs.' Lin Mu noticed.

It looked like they had just come out from a fight recently, but weren't actually injured.

"Little Shrubby did say that it was all human blood." Lin Mu muttered and got closer.

About a kilometer from him, three men were currently walking.

All of them wore a similar kind of armor that looked to be made from beast hide. It looked rather crude on the surface, but in reality it was actually made from Immortal beast hide!

Even if it looked cheap, it was actually quite tough.

Each of the men also had rugged faces with scars showing that they were men of action and were not unfamiliar with combat. Their bodies had blood splattered on them and a scowl was on their faces.

"Bah! I can't wait to get out of here. Can't believe we've run out of water to wash up." The first man complained. "And none of us knows any Water Qi skills either."

"You really should have brought more water. This is the third time it's happened." The second man said and shook his head. "Last time too we ended up getting drenched in blood with no water to wash up. We had to spend a month caked in dried blood for heaven's sake." He voiced out his frustration.

"Brothers! Brothers! This is just a temporary discomfort. With the courtesy of a few dead immortals, we will now be able to relax for at least six months at the Snow Jade Pavilion. Just think of the beauties we can enjoy." The third man tried to placate them. "If you wish for a bath that much, we can just get the beauties of the Snow Jade Pavilion to give us one. I've heard they have some nice scrubbing techniques too, haha!"

"That… does sound nice." The first man nodded with a smile.

"Haha, we definitely got lucky with the last group of immortals. Who would have thought that they would be carrying so many Immortal Stones?" The second man laughed.

"Do you think they were merchants or something?" the first man asked.

"Nah, they won't come to the Desolate Blood Battlefield. Probably just some young clan masters that thought too much about their strength and decided to come to the Desolate Blood Battlefield." The third man replied. "Though they certainly struggled a lot… and now we got all this blood to deal with." He added.

"You don't think this'll attract beasts, will it?" The First man asked with some concern.

"Hah! Even if it does, we'll be able to take care of it." The second man said out loud.

The three men had no idea that there was someone watching them. What they needed to worry about wasn't beasts, but another person.

"And here I thought I would have to look farther…" A voice was heard by the three men.

"WHO!?" The three men became alert and drew out their weapons.

~SHUA~

In the next second, the three men heard strange chants that chilled their souls. Shivers went down their spine and a sense of overwhelming danger covered them.

Finding themselves unable to speak, the three men could only watch as a dark purple aura rose around them.

~SHING~

The glint of a sword was the last thing they saw before their heads rolled.
