Chapter 239 - Brown Shrubby Forest Cat
Lin Mu held the jade slip and let his spirit sense interact with it. Upon touching the jade slip with his spirit sense, Lin Mu felt as if a book had appeared in his mind. He thought of opening it and it automatically opened in front of him.
But upon its opening, he could see nothing on it as the pages were blank.
’Where’s the information about beasts?’ Lin Mu thought, feeling confused.
And just as he thought about beasts, the pages flipped once again and words started appearing on them. Lin Mu read them and found that they were talking about some beasts and the information was rather organized according to the beast’s characteristics.
Lin Mu could guess how the book worked from his previous experiment and thus wanted to see if it would be effective or not. Now that he knew the characteristics of the beast he was able to find the information rather easily by sorting it out properly while searching it in the jade slip.
As long as Lin Mu thought about the appearance of the beast along with its characteristics it would appear in his mind. He searched and eventually, the book opened to a pair of pages that showed the information he needed for now.
"Hmm, so it is called Brown Shrubby Forest Cats here as well. Let’s see, high speed, brown fur, early to peak stage qi refining realm cultivation and a timid nature. Alright, this checks out." Lin Mu spoke to himself in his mind.
Returning his focus to the real world, Lin Mu stored the Jade slip away.
"Seems, like you were right Senior Xukong." Lin Mu spoke in an appreciative tone.
It first put one of its paws out and peeked before putting another one out. Seeing that Lin Mu was not attacking it and was peacefully sitting in his positing, the Brown Shrubby Forest Cat fully showed itself as it left the bush.
Lin Mu could once again get a clear look at the beast, and only one thought appeared in his mind.
’Cute!’ He thought.
~Miu~
The Brown Shrubby Forest Cat lightly growled as it tilted its neck while looking at Lin Mu. It then slowly started approaching Lin Mu and finally came close to him. But upon getting in a three meter distance of him, it stopped and changed its focus, looking at something else.
’Huh, what’s it looking at?’ Lin Mu wondered as he followed the gaze of the beast.
It ended up pointing him to the fire that had now died down and only had some smoldering coals and partially burned sticks left. It was still radiating heat, thus it felt comfortable.
’Hmm, it wants to stay in the warmth it seems.’ Lin Mu thought.
But his conclusion soon turned out to be false, as the beast did something he had not expected. The Brown Shrubby Forest Cat walked to the fire and lowered its head, trying to pick up a half burnt stick.
The stick was cooled on the other end and thus was no problem for it to pick up even though the other end was still red and slowly burning. The Brown Shrubby Forest Cat turned around and started running away at a blinding speed.
Before Lin Mu could think of anything, it had disappeared in the distance.
"What... was... that?"
