~Crack~
~THUD~
~RUSTLE~
The sounds of trees moving and wood cracking could be heard coming from the front. Lin Mu narrowed his eyes as he could tell that whatever was approaching was a rather large beast.
His spirit sense was already spread around, but the beast was not within its range, meaning that all of these sounds were coming despite the distance between them.
"Can you tell what beast it is from its scent?" Lin Mu questioned Little Shrubby.
"No... It's something I haven't seen before. But it's stronger than me." Little Shrubby answered.
"Stronger than you, huh?" Lin Mu furrowed his brows and tightened his grip on the weapons.
~HOWL~
The moment the next howl came, Lin Mu felt the beast entering his spirit sense range. The beast sensed him as well with its own spirit sense and now knew about each other. Lin Mu's eyes went wide as the beast rushed forward at a great speed.
~HOWL~ The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.
The beast let out a loud howl while running and broke all of the trees that were on its way. To the beast, all the trees were like brittle toothpicks, easy to snap. The ground shook with each of its steps, showing just how heavy and bit it was.
Lin Mu decided to act first and gestured with his left hand, pointing his middle and index finger towards the beast.
~shua~
The short sword hummed lightly and flew towards the beast at a great speed. Anything that was in its way was cut immediately and the moment it reached the beast, a loud clang was heard.
~CLANG~
~WHOOSH~
While he had understood what the beast was, he now needed to know just how strong the beast was.
He could tell that the beast was at the Dao Shell realm, but what stage? That was the question.
If the beast was in the Shena Genesis stage or above, Lin Mu would escape right away. A beast of that level was not something he or Little Shrubby would be able to deal with. But if it was at the Shell Initiation stage, he would still have a chance.
And thus, Lin Mu's spirit sense probed the wolf beast, without caring about its feeling and drilled directly into its Dantian. This of course, angered the beast even more, but Lin Mu got what he wanted.
"Haha, at the Shell Initiation stage I see..." Lin Mu said with a smile.
He could see a faint outline of a sphere in the beast's Dantian. It was floating above its nascent soul and looked somewhat like a bubble. Lin Mu had already learned that it was the outline of a Dao Shell and that was what the initial Dao Shell would be looking like.
~GRRR!~
"You dare ignore me?" Little Shrubby's growl came from the back.
The flames that little Shrubby had spat out were meant as a visual distraction, as the beast couldn't see around easily with the flames hiding everything behind them. As for its spirit sense, the wolf was focused on Lin Mu.
Little Shrubby took advantage of this and had circled around to attack it from the behind.
~BOOM~
He quickly sped up, and a sonic boom could be heard.
~KACHA~KACHA~KACHA~
~SPARK~
The sound of metal being grinded could be heard as numerous sparks shot out of the Bronze Tribe Wolf's back. Lin Mu took a look and smirked.
"Of course, Little Shrubby would be able to damage even if he has a lower cultivation base... those bloodlines are not for nothing." Lin Mu muttered.
'Time for me to join in as well..' Lin Mu thought as a fierce expression appeared on his face and the spear was raised.
