Walker Of The Worlds Chapter 672 - Introducing Little Shrubby

Chapter 672 - Introducing Little Shrubby

Lin Mu and Jing Luo stood at the gate of the Mu clan while the others waited for them there.
"We shall be in contact at all times." Jingming Shang spoke. "With the communication jade slips senior Jing Luo made, it will be far more convenient and easy for us to talk." He added.
"Indeed, I never thought I would see high grade communication jade slips out of top sects before." Miss Fen added.
"Very well. Inform us if anything comes up. Although with the increased strength, I doubt you guys should have a problem unless Gu Yao sends tens of Nascent Soul realm cultivators or even a Dao Shell realm cultivator." Lin Mu spoke.
"Yes, senior. Plus, no one has an idea that our clans have progressed this far and increased in strength. Thus, even if Gu Yao does send his people to kill us, he will make a mistake and that will give us time to readjust our strategy." Mu Tao added.
Lin Mu nodded to himself and looked towards the northern end of the Jiao Long city. Seeing that the two of them were not moving, Mu Tao and the others felt strange.
"Is there something left?" Mu Tao questioned.
"Ah, we're just waiting for someone." Lin Mu answered.
"Someone? There's another person with seniors?!" Miss Fen was rather surprised.
Till now, they had only seen Lin Mu and Jing Luo and did not know that there were more people. From Lin Mu's words, they could tell that there was at least a third person in their group.
'Just how many more people does senior have? Four? Ten? Or even a hundred? Senior Lin Mu's planning is truly profound.' Mu Tao thought to himself.
"Oh yeah, I never told you guys did I… it's not a person I'm waiting for," Lin Mu spoke.
~shua~
Just as Lin Mu spoke, the sound of wind coming from the far could be heard.
"Not a person?" Jingming Shang narrowed his eyes as he suddenly had a hunch of what it might be.
~Roar~
A rumbling roar could be heard coming from afar, pulling the attention of everyone. But to Lin Mu's surprise, it was actually coming from the sea.
"No wonder he's been silent… he's been enjoying his time, huh." Lin Mu said upon spotting his companion of years in the distance.
A red streak was coming in from the sea and some turbulent wind accompanied it. There seemed to be a massive object behind it that was at least ten times as big as the red streak.
"No way! Is that…" Jingming Shang said in shock.
~boom~
The speed of the red streak increased even more as the object behind it sped up too, turning it into a blur as well.
~thud~
Finally, the red blur slowed to a halt next to Lin Mu and its appearance was revealed.
"Look, I got us food for the journey!" Little Shrubby spoke excitedly.
Lin Mu looked at the object, which was now seen clearly. It was a large fish that had sharp teeth and a long tail. It was dark silver in color and its scales glistened under the sun. Even while dead, the fury in its eyes could be seen.
"Heavens! That's the Saw Tooth Tuna! It's a Nascent soul realm beast that has been plaguing the ocean near the First Sun Kingdom." Mu Niu identified.
The large fish was blocking the view of Little Shrubby, and thus the others had not seen him yet, but once Lin Mu stored the Saw Tooth Tuna in the ring, they could see him.
~gulp~
Jingming Shang couldn't help but swallow his saliva upon seeing Little Shrubby. He had known very well who this beast was. Mu Tao and the rest though had no idea who little shrubby was and neither had Lin Mu told them.
It wasn't that he didn't want to, but that simply never came up.
"I guess I should introduce. This is Little Shrubby, my tamed beast." Lin Mu spoke.
"Grrr!" Little Shrubby responded with a growl that only Lin Mu could understand.
"So these are the people who are helping master? Hmm… they seem weak." Little Shrubby spoke.
Lin Mu almost chuckled upon hearing this, but managed to suppress his laughter. He didn't want the others to feel bad.
"Seniors tamed beast…" Mu Tao muttered.
Unlike Lin Mu and Jing Luo, the cultivation base of Little Shrubby was in full display and that, added with the strong bloodline he had, caused some pressure to be exerted on them all.
Even those at the Nascent Soul realm felt like they would not last for even a second against the beast. While little Shrubby was calm right now, they could feel the predatory aura that exuded from it.
If not that, then the Saw Tooth Tuna was the best proof. One must know that beast was a nuisance and the only reason no one could do anything to it was because it was at the child soul stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
Even Mu Niu and Mu Tao would have to think twice before fighting against a beast like that, not to mention the advantage it would have in the ocean.
Miss Fen though had a completely different reaction. She had cold sweat break out on her forehead when she saw Little Shrubby.
'What is this beast… this fear… why's my bloodline telling me to run away?' Miss Fen thought.
Unlike the Mu clan, the Fen clan had recently awakened their bloodline and they were sensitive to the other bloodline auras now. And for Little Shrubby, who had not one but seven strong bloodlines, it was as if a mountain was hanging above their heads.
Seeing as how Lin Mu calmly petted the head of Little Shrubby, Miss Fen didn't know what to think. No Nascent soul realm cultivator would dare do that to a Nascent soul realm beast easily, even if they were a tamed beast.
After all, both being in the Nascent soul realm allowed them to command a certain respect.
