Chapter 2092 Lava Slugs

Looking at the simple key, Lin Mu found it a bit suspicious.

'A bit too simple...' Lin Mu thought as there were basically no Immortal Qi fluctuations coming from it at all.

This definitely would have made it hard to spot it even with their Immortal sense as the fire immortal Qi would cloud their senses. The simple key would have basically been a grain of sand in a sea; unassuming.

~shua~

Lin Mu made contact with the key with his Immortal sense and learned another thing about it.

"It really is a simple iron key." Lin Mu muttered.

"There must be something more to it." Lady Kang found it suspicious too.

~Ripple~

And sure enough, a few seconds later they felt the large lava lake in front of them ripple. These ripples would have been easy to mistake for the normal ripples that happened due to the bubbling lava, but for the senses of two immortals, they easily stood out.

"Of course, it wasn't going to be easy." Lin Mu said as he drew out Afternoon Pine. Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

A sense of danger could be felt by them, and they got ready for whatever was about to come.

"The fire elemental Qi is gathering." Little Shrubby informed. "A new presence is forming." He added.

"Oh?" Hearing that information Lin Mu realized something. "So that's why we saw no foes... They don't exist until we cause them to appear." He spoke.

"Just like before." Lady Kang said before pointing her finger towards the source of the ripples.

~SHA~

She shot out a single small star which strut the lava, causing an explosion.

As if to tell him that this was not the last of it, more ripples appeared around the area. "Fire elemental Qi is gathering again... More presences are gathering." Little Shrubby spoke, his sensitivity to the fire element coming in handy.

"Try to see if you can restrain them, Little Shrubby. I want to test something." Lin Mu spoke before turning to Lady Kang. "I think these might be similar to the Chasm beasts. I want to see what kind of energy is animating them." He informed.

~PWESH~PWESH~PWESH~

A couple of seconds later, six more lava slugs rose from the lava lake and surrounded Lin Mu.

"Now!" Lin Mu shouted, causing them to start their assault.

~SHA~SHA~SHA~

Lady Kang shot off several stars, hitting the bodies of the lava slugs and causing holes in them.

But unlike before, they didn't just explode right away. Instead, the holes in their bodies reformed while the stars exploded behind them.

"They are more resilient than the Chasm Beasts." Lady Kang narrowed her eyes.

Lin Mu heard her words and knew there must be something more to these beasts. "Can you sense anything peculiar about them, Little Shrubby?" Lin Mu asked the fire expert.

Little Shrubby glared at the lava slugs and soon came to a decision. He suddenly pounced at one of the Lava Slugs, pulling their attention towards him. The slugs shot streams of lava at him with no effect, while the beast tore at them with his claws.

~SPLASH~

Similar to what had happened with Lady Kang, Little Shrubby's claws simply passed through the slug's body like it was water, which then reformed. What was surprising was that even hitting their heads and cutting them apart didn't work.

~SPLAT~

But at a certain point, Little Shrubby's claw struck the base of one of the tentacles, causing the entire slug to burst apart.

~GROWL~

"They have a central source in their body that is maintaining their form." Little Shrubby said with a growl. Hearing that, Lin Mu knew there was a difference between Chasm Beasts and these Lava beasts.
