Walker Of The Worlds Chapter 771 - The Troll's Corpse

Chapter 771 - The Troll's Corpse

Having heard Senior Xukong's suggestion, Lin Mu felt pleased and nodded his head.

It was something he wanted to do but knew that using techniques blinding can be very dangerous, especially once that was as volatile as the boulder collapsing first. Lin Mu had already taken a risk in practicing the nameless technique of the Lost immortal, which was something that was never actually practiced by anyone.

He had suffered its effects and knew just how debilitating they could be.

'If even two treasured organs are not enough… then I'll refine more. If not three, then four, if not four, then all five, I don't believe I can't resist the recoil damage.' Lin Mu thought to himself with determination.

~shua~

While he was thinking to himself, the sound of a gust could be heard and a red blur arrived next to him.

"THAT WAS AMAZING!" little Shrubby said.

"Oh?" Lin Mu was a bit confused, having been brought out of his thoughts abruptly.

"The attack! Its power was something I don't think evens I can escape from." Little Shrubby spoke.

"It was that fast?" Lin Mu questioned.

"VERY FAST!" Little Shrubby replied.

"Huh… guess I have something to use against if I'm up against someone with a speed faster than me." Lin Mu said, hearing this.

It was a bit unexpected to him since he was actually unable to see how the attack progressed. It was too bright and by the time he got to switching to his spirit sense, the attack had already been executed.

"Oh yeah, speaking of that… how's the troll now?" Lin Mu wondered and stood up, ensuring that his right hand wasn't strained for now.

Lin Mu and little Shrubby walked up to the standing corpse of the dead troll and saw the aftermath. Blood and goop spilled out of its eyes and dripped down slowly. The Troll's eyes had exploded due to the heat and whatever was left of his brain was coming out of them now.

The outside of the Troll's body was actually fine looking, since most of the damage was to the insides.

"Whoa!" Lin Mu exclaimed upon seeing the hole in the ground below the troll.

This was the place from where the flaming devastator had exited and entered the ground. There he could see a red hot tube that went rather deep. The glowing red color could be seen all the way down and its depth was hard to estimate. Though the width of the hole wasn't that much, being just five inches wide.

"Just how deep did it manage to go?" Lin Mu wondered and used his spirit sense.

Soon it went into the depths of the hole, and he got the depth of the hole.

"Five… five hundred… it's over five hundred meters." Lin Mu muttered.

"That is indeed impressive… for it to pierce through a strong defensive based demon beast like the troll and still have enough energy left over to melt over five hundred meters of soil and rocks. The power is certainly quite good." Xukong acknowledge.

"Mmhmm… and this was with a low powered version… I can increase this even more." Lin Mu said.

"But that would probably end up with you losing your entire arm or more." Xukong replied.

"That is if I can even execute it, I don't think I can even go beyond thirty percent level. It would either explode inside my arm before that, or I would not be able to hold my position and be sent flying back instead.

The opposing force generated by the skill is way too much to resist normally." Lin Mu spoke.

"That's another few things you'll have to think of solving before you get started on the next level of the skill." Xukong added.

"Indeed." Lin Mu agreed.

The two of them talked for a bit more while Little Shrubby sniffed and looked at the Troll.

"I don't think we can eat this anymore." Little Shrubby said.

Lin Mu heard his voice and looked towards the Troll corpse. He used his spirit sense to check its insides and found them to be burnt beyond recognition. Only the tough outer skin and some bone were left intact for now.

"Yeah… doesn't seem like it." Lin Mu agreed, though he did feel a bit grossed out at eating an overly ugly beat like this.

"And there is no Nascent soul for me to eat either." Little Shrubby added.

"Oh? I almost forgot about that. It should have still been here though, right?" Lin Mu spoke.

"Do you really think a move as volatile as that would allow a spirit Qi construct like the Nascent soul to exist for more than an instant?" Xukong chucked. "It was gone the moment you used it."

"Ah… of course." Lin Mu said.

He knew that in most cases, the Nascent soul of a cultivator could survive and escape. If it could find another suitable body it could possibly gain a second life. This had happened with many of the Nascent soul realm enemies that Lin Mu had killed.

Little Shrubby liked eating their Nascent Souls, so Lin Mu would keep them for him. But in case of strong attacks like the Flaming devastator or even the normal devastator, it was tough for a Nascent soul to survive.

It was the same as putting a candle in front of a seething storm; it would blow it out in the blink of an eye.

"Though… I think you can fashion a good armor out of the remains of the Troll beast." Xukong suggested.

"Oh? I can?" Lin Mu was surprised.

"Of course. Though processing might be a bit hard." Xukong replied.

"Hmm… guess Jing Luo will have another project to work on." Lin Mu said as he stored the corpse of the Troll Demon beast into his ring.

~phew~

"That was a long week… I want a bath.." Lin Mu said as he took a look at his body, which was covered with dirt and dust and blood and soot.
