Walker Of The Worlds Chapter 3375 Encountering A Void Beast

They gathered at the edge of the courtyard, staring out through the translucent spatial mbrane that separated them from the infinite void. The teleportation channel usually stayed uniform only glowing occasionally with white and blue energy of the Formation Array holding it together.

Now it shuddered.

The outline blurred.

Large cracks of distorted space pulsed outside the barrier.

Daoist Chu tried using his immortal sense, but the mont his awareness touched the channel's boundary the feedback hit like a slap. He flinched and pulled back.

"Cannot sense anything. The barrier is blocking it."

Little Shrubby's ears twitched. "There is sothing big out there. Really big." He could sense it with his very bloodline.

Lin Mu translated for everyone

ng Bai gulped. "How big is really big?"

Little Shrubby hesitated. Lin Mu was already narrowing his eyes. He closed them and activated his Spatial Perception.

His consciousness spread outward in a thin thread that seeped through the gaps in the barrier like water through cracks. Unlike immortal sense, Spatial Perception did not rely on direct sensing but rather on understanding the distortions and shifts in space.

Slowly, an image ford in Lin Mu's mind.

At first, all he saw was darkness. A vast expanse of void. But then movent. A shadow. A ripple.

Sothing enormous drifted against the channel.

Lin Mu frowned and expanded his perception further. The image sharpened. Details erged.

A long, sleek body. A shape almost serpentine, but smoother, like a monstrous eel. The body stretched endlessly across his perception, nearly four hundred ters long and at least twenty ters thick.

Bigger than the Elder Ice Drake.

Far bigger.

Its skin was dark and seed to rge with the void itself, making it difficult to differentiate where the beast ended and the empty space began. Spatial energy swirled around it, bending light and twisting perception.

Lin Mu slowly opened his eyes.

Cattaleya was watching him. "Well? What is it?"

Lin Mu replied, "Sothing massive. Long and slick. About four hundred ters long. Twenty ters thick. Its form blends with the void. It is difficult to see clearly because it is saturated with Spatial Qi"

ng Bai nearly choked. "Sothing that big is outside the channel? How is it keeping up with us?"

Lin Mu answered, "It is not keeping up. It is latched onto the teleportation channel. I see its body pressing against the barrier and using Spatial Qi to anchor itself to us."

Daoist Chu frowned. "Anchor? How can it attach itself to a moving channel? Even if it sticks physically, the channel moves far too fast."

"It is not only physical," Lin Mu said. "It uses spatial affinity to synchronize with our travel frequency. That is how it keeps pace. Part of its body is anchored like a fishing hook caught on a passing boat."

They all felt the ground shake again as another violent tremor rocked the channel.

Lin Mu steadied himself. "It is slamming into the channel repeatedly."

ng Bai felt cold sweat forming. "Trying to break it?"

"Yes,"

"That is insane! If the channel breaks, we fall into the void. And then we cannot teleport again. And then that thing cats us." ng Bai hugged his arms,

shivering. "I vote we do not get eaten."

Cattaleya was frowning while tapping her chin. "Four hundred ters. Slick body. Dark like the void." She paused. "Two heads or one?"

Lin Mu blinked. "I think... two. Give a mont."

He activated his perception again and looked more carefully. This ti he focused on the front part of the creature. He saw jagged lines. Teeth that glead faintly with spatial distortion. Two mouths. Two pairs of jaws gripping the channel.

He finally said, "Yes. It has two heads. One on each side of its elongated body."

The mont those words ca out, Cattaleya's expression shifted.

She exhaled deeply. "I know what is."

ng Bai stared. "What? What could be this big?"

Cattaleya replied, "A Two Headed Void Loach."

Silence.

ng Bai stared blankly. "A what?"

Cattaleya crossed her arms. "I fought so before. They show up during teleportation. Not always, but often enough in long distance travel. They have extrely sharp spatial senses. Their two mouths can latch onto teleportation channels like suction cups. They feed on the spatial energy flowing inside."

Daoist Chu nodded slowly. "That explains the anchoring"

Cattaleya continued, "But that also makes them dangerous. Really dangerous. If they suck too much spatial energy or if they bite too hard, they can crack the channel. If the channel breaks, teleportation fails. And then we fall into open

void."

ng Bai's face paled a few shades. "And if we fall out, that thing will eat us?" Cattaleya gave a humorless smile. "If we are lucky, yes."

ng Bai trembled. "Lucky? How is that lucky?"

"Because if we are unlucky," Cattaleya said calmly, "we will fall into a random section of the void and drift for eternity until we starve, lose sanity, or are

shredded by spatial storms."

ng Bai shut his mouth imdiately and swallowed.

Lin Mu narrowed his brows. "I can feel the channel weakening in certain

patches. It is using its two mouths to create spatial suction. If it keeps this up,

the channel will rupture within a few hours."

Daoist Chu exhaled with tension. "We may have to act."

Lin Mu nodded. "Yes. If we do not do sothing, the channel will fail."

Little Shrubby growled softly, the flas on his back flickering with agitation.

"We should fight it."

ng Bai stared at the trembling walls of the channel and whispered, "Just

once... I wish for a normal, boring trip"

Cattaleya cracked her knuckles.

"Let us prepare. Fighting inside a teleportation channel will not be simple. We

need a plan."

Lin Mu's eyes glowed faintly with spatial light.

"Yes," he agreed. "Let us prepare. A Two Headed Void Loach is no minor threat."

Outside, the massive creature slamd again into the channel wall.

This ti the tremor nearly knocked everyone off their feet.

Far from the end of trouble, they were standing at the beginning of sothing

catastrophic.
