Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 1232 Twins

　　Lin Mu watched with wide eyes as the black and white ribbon continued to tear though the swarm of Chasm Beasts. There were easily hundreds of them here and yet all of them were killed in just a minute’s time.

He himself was confident of doing the same, but would not expect the same for a new born beast.

”Just what is this beast?” Lin Mu still could not see its form.

Though the danger that he was worried about had been eliminated by the beast. All the Chasm Beasts that were nearby were killed by it and it would take at least a few minutes for more of them to arrive.

Lin Mu couldn’t see any in the distance either, which was a good thing.

’I should have enough time to catch the beast and return to the tribe.’ Lin Mu thought to himself.

With this in mind, Lin Mu changed the Nurturing Heart sutra, quickly refining a string of Beast Qi. Running after the newborn beast would take too long and the Chasm Beasts might arrive in that time, so it was best to call the beast to him instead. 

~shua~

A string of Beast Qi appeared out of his hand and floated between his palms.

”Come on now, get here!” Lin Mu called out.

~THUD~

As if sensing the appearance of the Beast Qi, the spinning ribbons stopped in their tracks before swerving around using a boulder and breaking it in the process. The two ribbons reached their peak speed in less than a couple of seconds and rushed towards Lin Mu.

Lin Mu’s eyes narrowed, and he got ready to catch the newborn beast.

It was just like a fielder waiting to catcher a ball flying towards them from a long distance.

’Now!’ Lin Mu grasped the moment when the beast was just a few inches away from his hand and clamped his hands.

~shuu~

The sound of air being pressed was heard before Lin Mu finally felt the beast in his hands. He could also tell that the string of Beast Qi he had made had already disappeared, having been consumed by the newborn beast.

But at the same time, Lin Mu felt a bit confused due to the feeling he was getting from his hands. It was like there was a ball in his hands, which Lin Mu reckoned must be the newborn snake curled up.

’Why does it feel like there are two tongues licking my palm?’ Lin Mu slowly opened his hands, taking a peek.

”WHAT!?” Lin Mu was in for another shock.

Two small heads poked out from between his hands. One of the heads was white, while the other was black. Pink tongues slithered in and out as the two heads stared at Lin Mu with curiosity.

Lin Mu slowly opened his hands more, allowing him to take a proper look. It was now that he realized it wasn’t just two heads, but two entire bodies in there. The white and black bodies curled and wrapped around each other before balling up in his hand.

”It’s twins?” Lin Mu finally realized.

He could tell that the two weren’t joined, but were two independent snakelets. Somehow twins had been born from the single grey egg. 

”You two don’t look like your parents at all…” Lin Mu muttered to himself.

The grey egg had come from the Fire Fang Snake, who was the mother and the father was the Black Water snake. While one of the baby snakes was black too, it was considerably different from the Black Water snake in both features as well as characteristics.

The Black Water snake had black and blue scales, but the baby snake only had pitch black scales. Not to mention, they had a fine sheen to them, as if they were polished to perfection.

As for the white baby snake, it was even more different, having white scales that neither of its parents had. Their other characteristics were also different from their parents, such as the shape of their head and their eyes.

The two snakes had the same sized head and shape, but the difference was in their eyes. The white snake had black eyes with grey pupils while the Black snake had white eyes with grey pupils.

It was like they were the opposites of each other, despite being twins.

But while Lin Mu was observing the two baby snakes, their attention was pulled to something else. The black baby snake especially extended its head out and gazed towards the side.

Lin Mu noticed this and saw that the black baby snake was gazing at the bodies of the Chasm Beasts that were dissipating. Suddenly a change was felt in the black snake, and Lin Mu saw a hint of hunger in its eyes.

~slither~

The black baby snake suddenly jumped out of his hands and hovered in the air somehow. 

”Wait!” Lin Mu thought that the snake was trying to run.

But then in the next moment he saw the black baby snake open its mouth wide. 

~WHOOSH~

A gale whipped up around it as spirit Qi waves spread out from the snakelet. It was now that Lin Mu felt its cultivation base.

”Nascent soul realm? It’s already at the Nascent soul realm?” Lin Mu was shocked for the nth time today.

The shock didn’t stop there though. The winds spun around the black baby snake before a vacuum was created around it. The dusty black smoke rising from the dead bodies of the Chasm Beasts was pulled along with the wind and surged towards the mouth of the black snakelet.

Lin Mu’s eyes stayed locked on the infant beast as he saw it devour all the dusty black smoke. All of it was consumed in less than a minute and once it was done, the black snake let out a breath of comfort.

~whoosh~

It turned back and returned to Lin Mu’s hand before curling up with its sibling once more.

”What did you do?”
