Chapter 156: A Cave (1/2)

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.

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.

”Sure senior, it won't be a problem.” Xie Bohai replied and then went to the carcass of the beast.

~phew~

Seeing him walk away, Lin Mu let out another breath of relief. He then picked a tent and went inside. Since his tent was destroyed and all others were empty, it was easy for him to choose one.

Lin Mu changed his soiled and tattered clothes and washed his face before sitting down on the bedroll. He then chanted the serving heart sutra and recuperated his depleted spirit qi.

Four hours later he was done and opened his eyes. He walked outside and saw the meat that had been butchered and cut into pieces. It had been wrapped up in their pelts for convenience and was ready for Lin Mu to take.

Lin Mu took one last look around the small camp and bid everyone farewell. He stored the meat in his ring and left the camp. He went towards the Northwestern direction and tried to see if he could find any clues. Lin Mu was also a little suspicious of the Alpha steel back wolf's attack and thus wanted to know more.

Alas, all the tracks of the wolf pack had been covered due to the Snow that had fallen last night. It was still snowing, but it was light. The snow on the ground was about six inches deep, but Lin Mu didn't have much problem navigating through it.

Lin Mu also left marks on trees so that he could find his way back. Although he was experienced with the forest, he was not so familiar with it that he could easily find his way back. The markings and his newly enhanced spirit sense would help him with that.
