Chapter 440: A Speedy Ride (2/2)

'His spirit sense is actually the same range as mine.' Lin Mu thought.

”You should refine your spirit sense further, I think you should be able to increase it by multiple folds by now.” Xukong reminded.

”Ah yes, senior.” Lin Mu responded.

He couldn't refine his spirit sense when he was in the Sleepscape and thus it had stayed the same length as it was before. Lin Mu knew it would be much easier than before to refine his spirit sense further due to the progress in his cultivation base.

Currently, Lin Mu was heading in the eastern direction and was not going to the Northern town directly. He didn't know what the situation would be like there and it also had a higher chance of having cultivators there.

Thus, the choice he had made right now was to head to the villages in the eastern part of the region. They were much smaller and mostly farmed for grains. Lin Mu knew there would be less security here, relatively speaking and the best choice for him right now.

If Lin Mu were traveling normally, even with his increased cultivation base, it would have taken him about three days to reach the village. But now, with Little Shrubby, the entire journey of hundreds of kilometers was reduced to a single day.

By the time night fell, Lin Mu could already see the farms on the horizon.

”You can stop here.” Lin Mu said,

”Okay,” Little Shrubby replied before slowing down and eventually coming to a halt.

Little Shrubby had learned to slow down and not abruptly stop when he was carrying Lin Mu, as when they had done this before in the afternoon, Lin Mu had been launched ahead into a tree.

He definitely did not want a repeat of that and thankfully Little Shrubby was able to stop properly. Lin Mu got down from his back and jumped on his short sword to fly up, so that he could get a clear look at the village.

It was night time, so the area was mostly dark and barely any lanterns could be seen. Because the grains had been planted, there was always a danger of the crops being burned due to an accident. Because of this, they would avoid keeping lanterns or any fire sources out near the farms.

At the center of the village where the houses were more densely packed, Lin Mu could see more light.

”I should start from there.” Lin Mu muttered to himself and got down.

”You stay here for a bit, I'll call you if I need you.” Lin Mu said.

”Alright.” Little Shrubby replied.

Lin Mu was just about to leave, but then a thought made him stop.

He looked back at little Shrubby and spoke, ”oh and no cooking. I don't want to give out our location to them.”

”Okay…” Little Shrubby replied with a slightly disappointed face.

Lin Mu nodded his head and went to the village; with each step, he sank into the ground and then disappeared.
