Chapter 2099 Definite Overkill
Lin Mu, Lady Kang and Little Shrubby glanced at the newly expanded lake.
"That... was definitely overkill." Lin Mu said, seeing the sight.
The Lava Lake that was about two kilometers wide previously had now expanded to a size of nearly six kilometers!
Not just that, but its depth had also changed, due to the level of lava falling by several meters. And this was despite the fact that the surrounding rocky ground had been melted down from the heat and added to the volume of the lava lake.
"While it was overkill, the skill definitely did what it was supposed to." Lady Kang spoke. "There's no sign of the lava slug." She added.
"That's true." Lin Mu said before turning to Little Shrubby. "Do you sense any more of them?" he asked.
~sniff~
Little Shrubby sniffed the air for a few seconds before shaking his head.
"Nope, nothing nearby." Little Shrubby replied.
"I see..." Lin Mu said as he spread his Immortal sense and scanned the area for anything new. "I suppose we now go and find the second key." He stated.
"Yeah..." Lady Kang agreed. 'Hopefully it wasn't in the area that was destroyed... though I suppose if there was a key there the trial would have already failed us.' She thought to herself.
Though watching Lin Mu's little skill test definitely allowed her to learn better about his capabilities. She now knew that if Lin Mu really wished to, he could probably compare against Immortals several times stronger than him with ease.
'Considering how this went, I should have no issues using the First Form of Mountain Collapsing Fist with the power of the Tyrant Bull either. They should synchronize well enough and improve the power further.' Lin Mu reckoned the strain on his body would still be less than that of the Third Form Devastator.
With his self reflection finished, Lin Mu reckoned it was time to search for the next key. Though he didn't know what they would face now.
"There's definitely a chance we would face similar beasts again." Lin Mu spoke. "Little Shrubby, will you be able to sense them?" he asked.
"I'll try." Little Shrubby replied. "Though Ashy seems to have already found something." He added, having received a message.
"Oh, she did?" Lin Mu was surprised, causing Lady Kang to listen in too.
He had already gotten the bird to move away from the battle zone earlier, as he knew there was always a chance of it getting injured in their conflict. Instead, he let Ashy go on ahead and search for the next key or another area that might be peculiar.
And by the time they had finished the battle, she had already accomplished that goal.
"I suppose we can go see what she found now." Lin Mu said and urged Little Shrubby to run towards Ashy's location.
"How far is the next location?" Lady Kang asked, seeing that they were already moving.
"About fifty eight kilometers." Lin Mu replied while keeping his Immortal sense extended.
~WHOOSH~
The trio didn't take long to reach the position of the bird, who was perched on top of a rather sharp and tall granite pillar.
"Master! Here!" Ashy called out to Lin Mu. "Look!" she said, pointing to the area below with her wing.
