Chapter 156 - A Cave
Xie Bohai felt confused after hearing Lin Mu’s words. Lin Mu noticed this too and had a bad feeling, he wondered if he would buy it or not. But then he saw that Xie Bohai suddenly had a change of expression and his eyes made it seem as if he had just had a realization.
"Ah, senior just had an epiphany. It is understandable that you would want to capitalize on it." Xie Bohai spoke in an enthusiastic tone.
~Huu~
Lin Mu silently took a breath of relief. While he could still go off without considering the situation of the Hei corps, he would still not feel well doing that. Now that Xie Bohai had unknowingly given him a way out, Lin Mu jumped at it.
And technically, Lin Mu did have a certain kind of epiphany. At least that’s what he told himself.
"Yes, that’s exactly what I want to do. I would also like that you do not disturb me in that period." Lin Mu replied.
"That will be fine, senior. I doubt any more beasts will come here because of the Alpha steel back wolf’s scent. They should stay away for a few days at least." Xie Bohai added.The debut release of this chapter happened at Ñøv€l-B1n.
Lin Mu’s eyes went slightly wide, but he controlled himself. What Xie Bohai had just spoken had taken off another burden off his back.
"I’ll be leaving after a while, I need to prepare for a bit." Lin Mu informed and then was just about to walk when another thought came to his mind.
"Umm, can you also skin and butcher the alpha steel back wolf as well as some of the other wolves for me." Lin Mu asked.
He didn’t have to look far, as with one sweep of his spirit sense he found a suitable place. Not far from him, there was an opening that seemed to be a cave. It was just at the very edge of Lin Mu’s spirit senses range, thus he could not clearly tell.
But once he walked towards there for a bit, he confirmed that it was indeed a cave. A couple of minutes later he was at the entrance of the cave. There were some big trees that were blocking the strong winds near the entrance of the cave, so it was a bit more comfortable here.
"I should be able to start a fire here with little problems." Lin Mu reckoned as he took out the wood from his ring.
Lin Mu had plenty of wood stored in his ring from back when he was living at the hunting shack. He had kind of forgotten about it, but now it was coming to his use, anyway.
A few minutes later, a fire was blazing inside the cave and illuminated its insides. Lin Mu had scanned the cave with his spirit sense and had determined that while the cave went deep, it was far too small for anything threatening to live in it.
The main area of the cave was about two meters tall and about four meters wide and it tapered down as one went deeper. After a certain point, it was less than a few inches wide. Lin Mu picked up a burning branch and went close to it.
"Huh? It’s actually a fissure." Lin Mu muttered to himself.
Lin Mu looked down and saw some traces of water near his feet.
"Looks like it was created due to water coming through it. It probably gets flooded when it rains and the water comes through the mountains." Xukong spoke.
Lin Mu nodded and returned to the fire. He wanted to cook and eat dinner.
But just as he was taking out some meat from his ring, he heard it.
~ROAR~
It was a roar and not just any roar; it was one he had heard before a few months ago.
