Chapter 2208 Acting Like A Guinea Pig

The expedition was also highly risky and came with a large chance of death. And yet, the rewards were well worth it, thus they were willing to take it on.

But what Lin Mu was doing was a sure shot way of getting injured and harming oneself.

And yet, he didn't seem to be scared in the slightest and there was even a hint of curiosity brimming on his face.

'He should be in pain, and yet he's testing this out as if he's playing with some herbs.' Crown Princess Shang thought to herself. 'How... Thrilling.' That was the only word she could come up with.

'Is he foolish, or too headstrong to try something like this?' Lady Kang wondered. 'Though he hasn't harmed himself much so far, so perhaps he is calculative enough to take this risk.' Her thoughts were a bit different.

The group had varying thoughts, as some thoughts it was a bit too reckless while others couldn't help but appreciate Lin Mu's bravery.

After all, he was technically doing it for them too. If they knew what could happen to one's body, they would have a better chance at dealing with it. Plus they had seen how Lin Mu had resisted the death Qi in the Teleportation Channel before.

While they had been paralyzed by it, he alone was able to resist and bring them out of it safely.

Thankfully later on they were fully restored to their peak condition by the pedestal, and even their cultivation base was improved. Otherwise, there was no telling when they would be able to recover from it and then enter the Spatial Plane.

~HISSAAA~

The sizzling sound got louder as Lin Mu went deeper.

"Ha..." He took a little breath, as a stream of pain shot through his finger and into his arm. 'Its getting intense now.' Lin Mu noted. 'It the Metal elemental Immortal Qi didn't even last five seconds.' He noted.

He increased the Qi output and tried to out-compete the Death Qi, but even after increasing it by four times, the effect was the same.

Lin Mu thrust his finger back into the Death Qi boundary, but this time around no sizzling sound was heard.

"Huh?" Daoist Chu, who was watching it closely, couldn't help but be surprised.

"It's not... Corroding him?" Crown Princess Shang noted too.

"That stone armor... it isn't affected by the Death Qi as easily." Elder Hu noted.

Lin Mu let his finger be there for a minute and saw no reaction to it.

'Much better.' He thought. "Now to try deeper." He said before pushing it in deep.

Feeling more confident, he directly let his entire finger sink in.

Still, no sound was heard for a minute. He observed the process with his immortal sense and saw how the Death Qi was basically unable to penetrate the stone gauntlet at this level.

Lin Mu waited for an entire five to confirm that it couldn't harm him right now, before he finally pushed his hand deeper. Now his hand had sunk all the way to his wrist!

"Should we stop him?" Qiao De couldn't help but ask, seeing the risky act.

"He's fine so far... so let him be," Lady Kang replied. "If he really gets injured, I have means to heal him." She couldn't help but be invested in the 'experiment' now.

As such, the group watched as Lin Mu acted like a guinea pig.

Lin Mu observed his hand and saw that it was finally starting to affect the stone gauntlet. There was no hissing sound yet, but he could observe with his immortal sense that the Death Qi was affecting the stone on a microscopic level.

'So the deeper we go, the more the strength and concentration of the Death Qi.' Lin Mu noted. 'But it is still low at this point. I should see when its fully affecting the Longgui Bulwark Armor.' He thought and pushed his arm deeper.

Now his hand had sank all the way to his elbow, making the group gasp inwardly.
