Chapter 435: Northern Tribe And Elemental Affinity (1/2)

Now that Little Shrubby's case was cleared with Lin Mu, all he had to do was wait and watch as his bloodline matured on its own.

”How long do you think it would take senior?” Lin Mu questioned.

”Hmm… that is hard to answer. It can be anytime, to be honest. It can happen today itself or a hundred years from now. There are far too many possibilities that can affect it and the circumstance may change as well.” Xukong answered.

”I see…” Lin Mu responded while nodding his head.

Lin Mu now wondered what his next course of action should be. He had awakened and even increased his cultivation by a great extent. Not only that, but even Little Shrubby was much stronger than before.

Lin Mu went over his goals and knew that killing Gu Yao was one that he needed to do definitely. But that also needed preparation as he couldn't just rush in blindly without any information.

Even if Lin Mu was at the peak stage of the core condensation realm, he dared not underestimate the man. Back then Gu Yao was at the pseudo Dao shell realm, who knows what level he was at today.

Lin Mu was still not clear about how much time had passed and asking Little Shrubby that was not a viable action. The beast had no proper sense of item either, as it had spent a while sleeping too while it was having a bloodline awakening.

”Looks like you will have to ask a human.” Xukong said.

”Mmm, yeah.” Lin Mu responded before looking at little shrubby. ”Did you see any humans here while I was asleep?” Lin Mu asked.

Little Shrubby nodded its head and said, ”yes, a few humans appeared in the forest sometime after you fell asleep. I only saw them from far and didn't catch their attention. After that a few more humans came, but they didn't stay in the area for long.”

”Oh? Where did the second batch of humans go?” Lin Mu asked.

”They went there,” Little Shrubby pointed in the southern direction.

”To the south? Wait! Where did they come from?” Lin Mu asked again, this time feeling that something was wrong.

”They came from the opposite direction. I saw them flying over the mountain there.” Little Shrubby answered.

A serious expression appeared on Lin Mu's face as he thought of the most dangerous possibility.

”What kind of clothes were they wearing? Were they similar to what I'm wearing or the ones from the town?” Lin Mu asked in detail, knowing that the beast may not have a clear idea of clothes.

”Umm… they wore clothes that looked like the fur of other beasts. They were big clothes, and they looked small in it.” Little Shrubby answered.

Lin Mu instantly realized who the humans were.
