CHAPTER 1278 WHERE ARE THE CHASM BEASTS GOING?

　　The Twin snakes were like two ribbons of light soaring across the sky.

　　The Chasm beasts in the distance were around a hundred in number, but when the two snakes reached them, they started to dwindle. Just like before, the twin snakes pierced through the Chasm beasts as if they were cotton.

　　It looked like nothing could stop them and no matter the cultivation base of the Chasm Beast, they all died the same.

　　"There really is no difference. It's as if they can nullify the natural defenses of the Chasm Beasts." Lin Mu said while observing the scene.

　　He was still midway to falling and all this had happened in the short time of descent.

　　~THUD~

　　~Crack~

　　Lin Mu landed on the ground, cracking it only to see that half of the Chasm beasts had already been killed.  Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

　　"That saves time." Lin Mu only had to watch for about a minute more before the Chasm Beasts were all dead.

　　~WHOOSH~

　　The two ribbons of light returned to Lin Mu and coiled around his arms.

　　~hiss~

　　The black twin, Xiao Yin opened her mouth and sucked in the air like a vacuum.

　　~SHUA~

　　All the black dust and fog rising from the Chasm beast's dead body was sucked in with the air and two minutes later there were no traces of any Chasm Beasts left. But Xiao Yin didn't stop there.

　　She transformed a part of the Qi and released a white streak of pure Yang spirit Qi for her brother. Xiao Yang consumed the Yang Qi and let out a satisfied hiss.

　　"If we keep this pace, it shouldn't take us that long." Lin Mu reckoned and could tell that the twins weren't satisfied just yet.

　　They could eat a lot more than just that. After all, they had eaten several thousand Chasm Beasts the last time they had gone out for feeding. 

　　Lin Mu continued to leap and traverse large tracts of land at once. During this, he encountered several groups of Chasm Beasts. Some large, some small, but the common thing was that they were roaming with some aim.

　　Lin Mu didn't know what that was, but so far he had seen that they all followed a specific direction.

　　'It's strange… they are all going towards one point. It doesn't seem to be the Haima Tribe either…' Lin Mu wondered.

　　He could approximately analyze the path that the Chasm beasts were taking and it was several degrees off from the location of the Haima Tribe. 

　　"Maybe the beasts that the Haima Tribe encountered weren't even from the main group. They might have just been the small groups on the periphery." Lin Mu thought after a while.

　　He guessed that if they followed the path of these Chasm beasts they might end up finding more of them. And not just that, Lin Mu would also learn what was it that was attracting them.

　　"Let's just follow them then. We'll be hunting more Chasm Beasts anyways." Lin Mu reckoned.

　　Thus Lin Mu changed his direction and started to track the Chasm Beasts. It wasn't that difficult to find where they were going since they left footprints everywhere. Plus the twins could sense their prey when they were close enough.

　　Lin Mu traveled for about six days like this, hunting thousands of Chasm Beasts in the process. The twin snakes had plenty to eat, and even though their hunger was satisfied by this point, they could still eat more.

　　Since they could still eat without any issues, Lin Mu let them eat.

　　'They are getting stronger too. It wouldn't be long before they breakthrough.' Lin Mu realized.

　　The aura of the twin snakes was suppressed like his own most of the time. If it weren't for the fact that they had a link, Lin Mu would have a hard time sensing their cultivation base.

　　It was already at the Peak of the Nascent soul realm and was showing no signs of stopping at all. 

　　It felt like they had no bottlenecks at all and the only thing they were lacking was nourishment. 

　　'It's just like Senior Xukong said. Immortal Beasts will have no bottleneck until they reach the Immortal realm and will progress as long as given enough time. Even the Great Slumber Bear from back then was just a juvenile and still in the Immortal realm. 

　　If it weren't for the fact that it was infected by the Invader, Shadow Gloom Bone lord it would have been the strongest being on Xiaofan world back then.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

　　Then after another day's travel, Lin Mu finally reached the location that the Chasm Beasts were searching for.

　　And how did he know this for sure?

　　"Well… damn. That's a LOT of Chasm Beasts." Lin Mu was stunned.

　　He was standing on top of a small hill and observing what was basically a blanket of Chasm Beasts spread for nearly two to three square kilometers. They were all circling around a specific area, but that was a little too far for Lin Mu to see clearly.

　　Not to mention, the Chasm Beasts at that distance were very strong, being at the Dao Treading realm along with a few Immortal Ascension realm ones mixed in. Lin Mu couldn't sense that directly with his spirit sense, but the mass of aura coming from there was the obvious warning.

　　But much unlike his reaction, the Twins were excited. Their eyes glowed with hunger while their tongues kept on flickering nonstop. If it weren't for the fact that Lin Mu was holding them back, they would have already pounced ahead.

　　To them, it wasn't an army of Chasm Beasts, but rather a large-scale unlimited buffet.

　　"Hmm… doesn't seem like there are any Chasm beasts that are equivalent to an Immortal here right now." Lin Mu concluded.

　　He could tell this for sure because if there were any, he would see them. 

　　According to the records of the Haima tribe, the Chasm Beasts that were equivalent to that of Immortal realm cultivators were huge, being over ten meters tall!
