Chapter 468 - Gifts For Little Shrubby
Wind whizzed by as Lin Mu flew through the air.
He had finished up recording all the books in the library and was now heading towards Little Shrubby. He had easily left the city by using fade and was now on his short sword.
Lin Mu made sure to take a less traveled path and avoided coming under the view of anyone. Due to it being nighttime, the security was heightened and he could see way more guards patrolling the areas.
The area around the capital city was mostly plains with a few hills and patches of forest spread in between. Little Shrubby was hiding in one of these small patches of forest, and Lin Mu was tracing him through his connection with him.The roots of this story extend from novell bìn origin.
It took Lin Mu about an hour to reach his position due to how many detours he had to use. It was not like he could use fade either, as sometimes a cultivator would randomly come in his path.
Even with his spirit sense spread, Lin Mu could only travel a short distance of two hundred meters which was simply not enough. If he tribally wanted to, Lin Mu could travel over a kilometer in the short span within which the skill Fade was active.
With no other choice, Lin Mu ended up taking multiple detours and finally reached Little Shrubby. He contacted the beast through his link and waited.
~rustle~
The thick and tall bushes trembled before Little Shrubby appeared from them, his Grey yellow eyes shining under the moonlight.
"Are you done with the work in the city?" Little Shrubby asked.
Lin Mu sniffed and could smell some smoke nearby.
"Were you cooking?" Lin Mu questioned.
"Yes, I was about to start but then I heard you." Little Shrubby answered.
"Oh, perfect then. I have something you can use," Lin Mu said before taking out the items he had gotten for little Shrubby.
He placed the prosthetic hand, the harness and the spatial storage belt on the ground.
"What are these?" Little Shrubby questioned, having no idea about them.
~Zoom~
With the same speed they had gone, they had returned. Lin Mu felt it to be a rather refreshing experience and thought that this was a rather good investment.
"Now that we are done with the harness and the spatial storage belt, you should try storing it." Lin Mu suggested.
"I’ll do it." Little Shrubby replied and willed it.
Then with a slight delay, the harness disappeared from his back.
"Good! Now try putting it back on." Lin Mu spoke.
Little Shrubby sensed the harness in his belt and successfully withdrew it. Since the harness was stored in the position where it was equipped, it appeared back in the same state.
This way it made it convenient for Little Shrubby to put it on and store it whenever needed.
"Now, do the same you did with the spatial storage belt and brand the metallic hand with your spirit sense." Lin Mu directed.
Little Shrubby nodded his head and the spirit sense spread from his body. It touched the prosthetic hand and finally connected to it after a minute.
"I did it!" Little Shrubby said with excitement.
"Try moving it around, you should be able to do that now. Though if you want to control the fingers, it will take you more practice." Lin Mu replied.
~shua~
With a single thought of little Shrubby, the prosthetic hand was sent flying up in the sky.
~rustle~
~thud~
The hand fell back a couple of seconds later on the ground with a thud.
"You’re gonna need more practice..." Lin Mu said as he was reminded of his own time, when he had first used his short sword and split the tent apart.
