Chapter 469: The Wait For The Operation (1/2)

Lin Mu helped Little Shrubby gain better control of the hand for a few hours before he was finally able to use it. Though controlling the fingers was still hard for little shrubby as it had never used them before.

For Lin Mu or anyone that had a human like hand, it would have been easy to control them as they were used to it. But for a beast like little Shrubby, it had never done the same and as such, it was hard for it to learn.

It would be the same for humans if they were given an appendage they were not familiar with. For example, if a tail was given to Lin Mu he would have a hard time learning to use it too.

It took the entire night, before Little Shrubby was able to gain a basic ability to move the fingers. Its grip was either so strong that he snapped the utensils when he tried to hold on to them, or so weak that they simply fell from the hand.

Still, Little Shrubby was not hardhearted and was actually excited. This was like a new toy to him, and he was having a great time playing with it.

”This should be enough for now, the more he uses it the better his understanding will be.” Xukong spoke, reminding Lin Mu that it was close to dawn now.

”It does look like it, senior. I guess I should return now.” Lin Mu replied.

Lin Mu bade farewell to Little Shrubby and returned to the city. What he did not know was that a few cultivators would get reports of strange noises coming from a patch of the forest and visit it.

But what they would find there is handprint, and palm prints along with trees and rocks that had been destroyed. The matter finally ended with them declaring that it was just some cultivator practicing his techniques and thus causing all the noise.

They also found some camp fires set up that were extinguished along with some bones and scraps of cooked meat, which only assured them further that it was indeed some human cultivator who had taken a break here.

Such a thing was not that uncommon as a few wandering cultivators would pass by and take a halt here. Not everyone would visit the city and some didn't like to socialize with others that much.

Lin Mu had returned to the mercenary union branch and had just decided to stay at the library for the time being. He had told Wu Hei about this and he told him that it was actually a great idea for him to stay there.
