Walker Of The Worlds - Chapter 2091: Help From A Weak Bird
Lady Kang’s concern was echoed by Lin Mu too and he knew the bird would not even be able to endure the lower heat here on solid, not to mention the heavy heat over the lava lakes and more.
That was also why he had created the barrier around them that could protect them from heat.
“I know, which is why I’ll have to use a few things first.” Lin Mu replied before taking out several talismans from his storage.
Overtime he had gathered tons of talisman of various kinds and in them were defenses talismans as well as talisman that could raise one’s resistance against specific elements. This included the talismans that Shuijing Mingzhu had gifted Lin Mu.
They were finally coming in use now.
~SHUA~SHUA~SHUA~
Lin Mu activated all of them and let their effects be applied to Ashy.
“These will help protect her against the heat as well as any attacks from up to Second Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm.” Lin Mu stated.
“Hmm… I’ll add some too.” Lady Kang said before making a few hand seals. Ashy watched the new woman who she had never seen before. ‘Is this master’s new mate?’ She wondered.
~HONGLONG~
Runes appeared around Ashy and turned into a glow that coated her body. “This Ward should be able to take at least six attacks from a Fourth Tribulation Stage immortal.” Lady Kang stated.
“Oh, that’ll be good.” Lin Mu was thankful.
With this, the tiny bird now basically had defensive power at the Immortal realm. At least for the time being, there was a low chance of her getting into danger. They had added the protection from attacks, since there was no telling what else was present here. Heat wasn’t the only danger to their lives, as Lin Mu and Lady Kang had a good hunch that there were enemies present here, too.
And since they could not see them openly, it only meant the danger was higher. An ambush was often worse than a head on attack.
“I feel strong,” Ashy spoke, feeling the strength coming from the talismans.
“There are a couple of Qi amplification talismans in them, so they’ll make you more powerful.” Lin Mu answered. “See if you can fly here now.” He asked.
“Okay~” Ashy spoke before starting to flap her wings.
~WHOOSH~
And sure enough, in just a couple of seconds, she soared into the air as if the restrictions did not exist.
“Any problems with flying?” Lin Mu asked.
Since the bird was in the Dao Shell realm, she had never actually flown using her cultivation base before, as that was not possible in an Immortal world like the Rust Sky World. As such, she did not feel any discomfort in flying with her own body.
“Nothing, it’s the same as flying normally like I do.” Ashy said before she flew over a lava lake, feeling something new. “Oh wait! It’s actually easier to fly here! I feel lighter!” she said out loud.
~CHIRP~
Her body streaked through the air as she utilized the hot air to maneuver effectively.
“The hot air allows her to fly better due to it being lighter in weight.” Lady Kang understood why it was happening.
“What do I look for?” Ashy asked while circling in the air.
“See if you can find anything unusual. We are looking for a key, but we don’t know what it looks like.” Lin Mu instructed.
~WHOOSH~
Ashy did as told and used her sharp eyes to scan the area. With her speed, she could cover several kilometers of area in a short time and figure out what was where.
Even if Lin Mu and Lady Kang could cover ten kilometers of area with their immortal sense, it didn’t mean that they would necessarily be able to tell if there was something like a key there unless it stood out.
The bird flew around, her watchful eyes looking for any sudden movements as well as unusual things that might stand out. Since she had never been in an area like this and was mostly used to snowy and forested areas, it took her a bit of time, but soon enough she spotted something.
“I found something!” Ashy communicated through their link.
“We’re coming!” Lin Mu said before turning to Lady Kang. “Let’s go.” He jumped onto Little Shrubby’s back.
Lady Kang joined him and the trio sped towards Ashy’s location. Little Shrubby had a great affinity to the fire element, and the lava around him was nothing to him. As such, running over the lava was also not an issue.
Though of course, it wasn’t the same as running on solid ground, so his speed suffered a bit. But he simply utilized the solid chunks of land more and used it to boost his speed more, increasing the distance he covered in each step.
~SWOOSH~
In about a minute, they reached the location of Ashy and finally saw it.
“Oh yeah, that’s definitely peculiar for sure.” Lin Mu said, seeing the place.
It was a sight that basically screamed ‘THIS IS THE PLACE WITH THE KEY!’
What they were looking at was perhaps the largest lava lake they had seen so far that was surrounded on one side with a tall cliff, from which several streams of lava were falling.
It was nearly two kilometers wide and had several stone platforms floating around in it. The heat of the lava also seemed to be higher than other lakes, with some parts glowing white.
If a mortal were here, they would be blinded by just how bright it all was. But for Lin Mu and Lady Kang, it was still manageable. There was also intense fire elemental immortal Qi filling the area. Something would scorch most people.
In the center of this large lava lake, there was a platform that seemed to be man-made with its perfectly square shape. And on this platform floated a key.
It was a very simple looking key too, that one could find anywhere.
