Chapter 2093  Blasted Apart

"Truly annoying." Lady Kang scoffed as she blasted the entire body of a Lava Slug apart.

~PWESH~

But as it to taunt her, the scattered remains of the Lava Slug swirled in the lake and gathered back together, reforming its body.

Lin Mu saw this scene just as he learned the new information from Little Shrubby.

"Lady Kang! You'll need to target a cluster of energy within their body that is maintaining their form." Lin Mu quickly informed his companion. "That cluster keeps on moving, which is why they seem impervious to damage." He added.

"A cluster of energy? So a core of sorts…" Lady Kang narrowed her eyes and used her Immortal sense to probe the body of the Lava Slug.

It was a bit hard to do so though, as the sheer amount of fire elemental immortal Qi in the Lava Slug's body muffled the 'vision' of Immortal Sense.

But Lady Kang was not one to back down from a little challenge. She was an immortal who had built up the Great Kang Auction house from the ground up after its fall. If she had anything in plenty, it was pure determination and willpower.

~SHUA~

"Found it!" Lady Kang's eyes locked onto the tail of a Lava Slug and shot at it.

~BOOM~

This time, the body of the Lava Slug exploded on its own, even though it was only pierced by the tiny star.

~shua~

And when the body of the Lava Slug reverted to its original contents, Lady Kang 'saw' the strange energy inside the beast too.

'There really is something inside it… It doesn't seem like the dark gas from the previous chamber.' Lady Kang thought to herself before turning her attention to Lin Mu and Little Shrubby who were fighting in the middle of the lake.

"Hold it Little Shrubby!" Lin Mu said as he jumped behind one of the Lava Slugs.

~GRRR~

Little Shrubby used its jaws to hold the Lava Slug in place while one of its claws pinned it down. The claws pierced through the base of its body and prevented any of the tentacles from lashing out at Lin Mu.

Of course, the Lava Slug was not one to give up so easily, and directly tried to spray lava inside Little Shrubby's mouth.

"Flame Tongue Chili Peppers are hotter than that!" The beast scoffed, finding the lava to be nothing more than some warm tea for him.

~gulp~

He even swallowed it down, absorbing the fire elemental immortal Qi in it, as if adding insult to injury for the Lava Slug.

If not for the fact that the slug was utterly devoid of intelligence, perhaps it would have taken offense to it and flailed better.

But its struggles were about to come to an end, as Lin Mu's senses had locked down onto the energy core that was seemingly moving around in its body.

"GOT IT!" Lin Mu said as he stabbed Afternoon Pine through the Lava Slug's body.

~SPLAT~

The sword pierced through what was a translucent cluster of energy and broke it apart, causing the slug's body to explode!

Lin Mu took this chance to scan the unknown energy and tried to analyze it. He could tell that there were some similarities between this and the dark gas that the chasm beasts were composed off.

'If there is a major different, it's that this energy is a lot more neutral.' Lin Mu thought to himself as he looked around.

~PWESH~

More slugs had started to appear, so Little Shrubby went around to fight them while blocking them from attacking Lin Mu. He knew that his master was still testing and studying things, so didn't want him to be bothered.

~ROAR~

Little Shrubby's claws tore through the bodies of the slugs, destroying the energy cores in them. The beast decided to increase the size of the attack, instead of raising its precession. This way, he was basically guaranteed to destroy the core with every strike. But that didn't prove to be much of a benefit as more slugs kept on appearing. This time there was a change in the slugs though, as their size seemingly grew.

Unlike the previous ones that were three meters long in size, the new lava slugs that were appearing were five meters in size!

With these giant lava slugs joining the fray, the battle became a lot more intense.

~BOOM~BOOM~BOOM~

Lady Kang started using fragmenting stars which exploded into countless shrapnels, in order to stun and delay the lava slugs.

This gave her the opportunity to scan for their energy core better, as it seemingly became exposed in air without a body to cover them. Of course, the core was very fast and wound dive back into the lava to reform a new body.

But the more Lady Kang practiced, the better she got. And as an immortal that had lived for thousands of years, she quickly figured out the best method of hunting down the energy core.

It all seemed to click for her at a moment, as she shot a single piercing star that went through three Giant Lava Slugs in a row. It entered through the belly of one, then into the head of second and finally exited through the lower middle portion of the third.

~SPLAT~ SPLAT~ SPLAT~

Then in the next second, all three Giant Lava Slugs were blasted apart!

"Three slugs with one shot." Lady Kang uttered before turning to see that Lin Mu had figured out the same thing.

But unlike her, he seemed to targeting them with accurate stabs. Every thrust of his sword sent an illusory sword tip composed of metal immortal Qi tearing through the bodies of the Giant Lava Slugs. Follow current s on novelenglish.net . (ꜰ)ire.ɴet

~SPLAT~ SPLAT~ SPLAT~SPLAT~ SPLAT~ SPLAT~

Multiple Lava Slugs exploded at once, as the entire lava lake was cleared off them.

~huu~

"Is that all of them?" Lin Mu muttered as he scanned the field.

~Rumble~

But just to prove him wrong, the entire lake shook as a large mound of lava started to rise!
