Chapter 1223 The Long Distance Scout Team And Chasm Beast Sighting

”When did this happen?” Lin Mu asked.

”The day after we returned.” Elder Niji replied.

”So suddenly? We should have spotted some of the early ones, right?” Lin Mu asked in doubt.

”We should have yes, but it seems like the spot of resurgence this time is far from the tribe. The only reason we even know it in advance is because the long distance scout team returned.” Elder Niji explained.

”I see… but what’s the long distance scout team?” Lin Mu questioned.

”You could say they are our bravest warriors. They’ve volunteered to patrol the Barren lands to check for the first signs of the Chasm beasts. They set out on their task whenever a Chasm Beast tide recedes and only return when they spot the first Chasm beast again.

Of course, the site of resurgence of the Chasm Beasts can be anywhere in the Barren Lands along the Broken Chasm, but the further one is away from the tribe, the more danger they would encounter.

Thus, the Long distance scout team’s work is especially dangerous. Their current leader, Kulo is the second strongest Haima, just below me.” Elder Niji answered in detail.

”Oh? That’s interesting. I should meet them then, if they are strong, their bodies would be a lot more developed and I might be able to obtain some insights.” Lin Mu stated.

”Of course, you’ll get to meet them soon. We are going to discuss the matter of the Chasm Beasts anyway.” Elder Niji agreed.

Lin Mu then followed after Elder Niji and they went to another building that was located in the central area of the Haima tribe. It was not that tall, but it was certainly the widest building in the Haima tribe.

In some ways, it could also be considered as the Tribe’s center.

Elder Niji and Lin Mu were greeted by the Haima Tribe members waiting for them.

”They are waiting for us.” Elder Niji translated.

Entering the building, Lin Mu felt like he had somewhat returned to a council room of his home world. In there, he spotted several Haima Tribe members sitting around, some of them old, and some middle aged.

There were both men and women and even a few young members standing at the back.

Elder Niji walked up to his seat at the head of the circle, while Lin Mu sat next to him.

At first, Elder Niji and the Haima Tribe members discussed amongst themselves and a few even glanced at Lin Mu from time to time. He had already become quite well known in the tribe by now, especially since the warriors who had accompanied them on the last expedition spread the story of his power.

The other Haima tribe members had been interested in seeing him after learning all that, but they couldn’t since he was sleeping ever since returning from them. And now they could finally do this.

Lin Mu too observed them and could grasp from their mannerisms that they were talking about him too. 

’Elder Niji said the head of the Long distance Scouts should be here too. Which one is he?’ Lin Mu’s spirit sense wandered around and checked the cultivation bases of everyone.

Surprisingly enough, the average cultivation base here was equivalent to the Nascent soul realm while the weakest was at the core condensation realm. The ones at the core condensation realm were none other than the young members of the tribe.

But the strongest after Elder Niji was a single middle aged man that was sitting on the opposite side. His face had several scars, and so did his body. He wore a different styled armor than the others and even had several patterns painted on it.

’Roughly equivalent to the Dao Shell realm. Certainly strong enough to be the second in the tribe.’ Lin Mu soon found the man.

”Noble Lin Mu, the Chasm Beasts will probably start to pour out of the Broken Chasm in about a week’s time. If you want to take a closer look at them, now’s the right time.” Elder Niji suddenly spoke.

”Have they come close to the tribe?” Lin Mu asked.

”A few stray Chasm Beasts were spotted by the outpost scouts just an hour ago. Head Warrior Kulo just informed me of this.” Elder Niji replied.

”Good. We should leave as soon as possible, then.” Lin Mu was ready.

He had been intending to take a look at the Chasm Beasts from the start. While he had heard quite a bit about them, seeing them and observing them directly was an entirely different experience.

It would also net him the most information.

”Head Warrior Kulo will accompany us too.” Elder Niji stated.

”That’s fine.” Lin Mu was intending to interact more with the man anyway.

He was interested in the man’s experience as a warrior. Even if Elder Niji was the strongest in the tribe, his role was ultimately that of leading the tribe. He wasn’t necessarily the best at fighting, that title would be for the head warrior.

Lin Mu reckoned that if he observed and analyzed how the head warrior fought, he might be able to discern some Qi skill or cultivation technique best suited to the Haima tribe. And perhaps he himself might get to learn something new too.

The three of them left the tribe right away and appeared on the surface after a few minutes. 

”%&^%[email protected]**” Head Warrior Kulo spoke something and pointed in the distance towards the Broken Chasm.

”Kulo says that they spotted six stray Chasm Beasts wandering there.” Elder Niji translated.

”How strong are they?” Lin Mu asked.

”Our average warrior would be able to kill at least one of them.” Elder Niji replied.

”So at the Qi refining realm… that should be no problem, then.” Lin Mu said.

The three of them started running, and Lin Mu discovered that Head Warrior Kulo was quite fast too. In fact he was faster than Elder Niji, who was stronger than him.
