Chapter 1289: Narrow Escape



Chapter 1289: Narrow Escape

Lin Mu’s eyes locked onto the place where the smaller asteroid was hitting the larger one.

At first it seemed normal, but in Lin Mu’s Spatial perception he could see a node hidden there.

“No wonder they two asteroids keep on colliding. It isn’t themselves are causing that, but rather the node there. It’s making an attractive force that causes this.” Lin Mu understood.

Having understood this, Lin Mu became a bit more cautions. After all he knew if something could cause such large asteroids to clash, it must have some great force. He didn’t know what would happen if he got in between them when they were about to crash.

‘That would not be a good way to test my durability for sure…’ Lin Mu thought to himself.

He continued to fly towards the two asteroids and reached them after about ten minutes. They were farther than they appeared to be.

“Just as I thought, the node is really there.” Lin Mu could sense the spatial fluctuations a lot more clearly now.

~THUD~

~CRACK~

He also got to experience the crashing of the two asteroids. Since he was standing on the larger asteroid, the entire ground shook like an earthquake was happening. But Lin Mu was immovable.

“This makes it easy.” Lin Mu said after letting his body’s weight be fully released.

It kept him anchored to the ground and he didn’t fall either.

~crack~crack~crack~

Each step he took created cracks on the ground. Lin Mu soon started to run and the cracks from his steps also got wider. Evidently he was exerting a lot more force than before.

‘Just a little more…’ Lin Mu’s eyes were locked onto the small asteroid.

He was calculating the time it would take to crash again. Since he wanted to open a portal and slip in through the node, he needed to do it at a precise time.

“NOW!” Lin Mu took a leap and activated the ring.

~SHUA~

His spirit Qi started draining rapidly as a force exerted from his hand. The location of the node started to flicker before a thin but long tear appeared in the air.

“Just a bit more…” Lin Mu watched as the smaller asteroid kept on getting closer and closer.

It even seemed to be speeding up the closer it got. Lin Mu was standing in the crater created from the constant crashes and thus had some extra time before the smaller asteroid would strike the ground.

The air rippled as the thin tear started to expand slowly.

“Come on, come on…” Lin Mu urged the ring to work faster, and poured even more spirit Qi into it.

~WHOOSH~

The smaller asteroid was coming closer and was about a hundred meters away from Lin Mu.

100 meters…

90 meters…

80 meters

20 meters…

10 meters!

A dark shadow now covered Lin Mu as the smaller asteroid hid everything behind it.

“OPEN!” Lin Mu shouted and jumped into the narrow portal that had barely opened up.

It was just enough to let him pass sideways, but he managed to do it.

~BOOM~

The smaller asteroid finally crashed into the ground, and the portal dissipated with that too.

“Haa… HAA… Haaa…” Lin Mu panted and looked back at the place where the portal was there just a moment ago. “I made it…”

Lin Mu felt his heart beating fast like a horse. It took him a minute to calm down, but the anxiety faded away with that too.

Taking this chance, he looked around the area.

“Where is this place?” Lin Mu couldn’t help but question.

He certainly knew he wasn’t in the lesser void anymore and was back in the Rust Sky world. The space around felt firm and wasn’t as unstable as that of the lesser void. But at the same time, Lin Mu was surrounded in darkness.

His spirit sense extended, but didn’t find any walls around him. The only solid surface was underneath him.

~shua~

“Let’s brighten this place up a bit.” Lin Mu ignited a fire ball on his hand.

With the light from the flames, he could finally see his surroundings.

“Oh, hang on… isn’t this…” Lin Mu could now see stone walls in the distance.

But not just that, he could see chiseling marks on the walls too.

“I’m in one of the tunnels carved out by the Haima Tribe, aren’t I?” Lin Mu guessed.

Lin Mu knew that the Haima Tribe had a lot of underground tunnels and caves excavated over the years. Other than the main cave where the tribe was, there were several branches of smaller tunnels and caves extending from it.

There were even a few that had collapsed over the years and some that were invaded by Chasm Beasts. Such tunnels were closed up by the Tribe so that no more beasts would get through.

“Seems like I’m in one of the collapse tunnels.” Lin Mu came across a lot of rubble, along with large boulders that were blocking the path forward.

From the looks of it, the tunnel was naturally collapsed.

‘Hmmm… at least I won’t have to travel far back to the tribe. Though its surprising that I ended up this close despite the fact that I entered the Lesser Void quite far away.’ Lin Mu pondered to himself.

But then after a minute, he realized something.

“No, I was far away originally when I entered the small place with the broken statue. But then I was pulled into the lesser void and went through a teleportation channel.” Lin Mu mut

tered, analyzing his situation.

‘Guess that was what sent me this far back. But then, doesn’t that also mean that woman is rather close to the Tribe?’ Lin Mu felt a lot more worried now.

~Sigh~

“I should first get out of here.” Lin Mu said before getting to moving the rocks.

Since the twin snakes were sleeping under his sleeves, Lin Mu couldn’t really use Phase. Otherwise, getting through here would be rather easy.

About ten minutes later, Lin Mu had cleared out enough rubble to let him pass thorough.

“Who’s there?!” After getting out though, Lin Mu heard a voice.
