Chapter 385 - Disturbance In The Tunnels
Lin Mu could sense the strange aura that was now coming from beneath the ground. He tried to estimate where they were currently according to the position of the tunnels and realized that there should be a sludge pool below them.
’This... could it be the new blood sludge that is being expelled from the main blood pool?’ Lin Mu wondered.
His spirit sense pierced the ground but could not go much deep. Still, he had not done this to check the area inside but just to see the aura that was coming from it. He looked around, and it looked like no one had actually sensed this, only him.
"You’ve sensed it before and your sensitivity is also higher, that’s probably why you are able to feel it." Xukong spoke.
Lin Mu silently nodded his head and looked around again to confirm if anyone else had sensed it. But it looked like everyone was still focused on the food.
Lin Mu leaned towards Wu Hei and whispered. "I sense something in the tunnels below, perhaps new blood sludge is being expelled."
Wu Hei’s eyes went wide for a moment before calming down. His spirit sense immediately extended from his body and pierced the ground, traveling deep. But even then it was stopped half way through without reaching anything.
Wu Hei’s brows furrowed as he was unable to sense anything.
"It’s too deep for me to check... I’ll send someone to take a look." Wu Hei spoke.
"Alright... if needed, we may need to stop the tournament. Would that be possible?" Lin Mu asked in a low voice.
Enlai Lan did not answer him right away, but instead looked around for a couple of seconds.
~Phew~
A breath was released by the man as he finally looked at the man who had asked him a question.
"No, nothing... I was just mistaken and thought someone called me." Enlai Lan spoke before sitting back down and returning to the conversation.
On the other side, Lin Mu was intrigued by Enlai Lana’s reaction and also about the things that he had found out.
’Hmm... seems like he’s only at the early stage of the core condensation realm, though he does have a couple of spirit tools. A low grade spatial storage ring, a communication jade, a protective talisman hanging on his neck, and finally a pair of daggers hidden on his waist. Thought they are just normal daggers and not spirit weapons.’ Lin Mu thought to himself.
About ten minutes had passed since Wu Hei had gone off, and now that Lin Mu looked for him, he was nowhere to be found. Even Zhen Sui had disappeared to somewhere. But just as he was wondering, he found them coming towards him from the side of the Manor.
"Honored guests, I know you all are enjoying your time here, but I’m afraid it must be paused. We will be resuming the tournament right away." Zhen Sui announced.
Barely half an hour had passed since the break began and another half an hour was left. While some people seemed a bit upset as they were having conversations, others seemed to actually be happy.
"This is no problem, madam Zhen Sui. I would actually prefer to watch the tournament more." One of the guests spoke.
"Yes, yes, while I was enjoying my time here, the tournament is definitely more exciting." Fa Shiu, the senior brother spoke.
"Alright, if everyone is in agreement then please move back to the fighting ring." Zhen Sui said and everyone started to return to the seating area.
