Chapter 491: Test Subjects (1/2)

”Hmm… yes, it would be best if they don't see the current scene.” Lin Mu said as he looked around.

He took out the communication jade slip and contacted Wu Hei.

”I need your assistance.” Lin Mu spoke.

”What happened this time?” Wu Hei asked while holding the bridge of his nose.

For some reason, trouble seemed to either follow Lin Mu around or he went looking for it even if he did not aim for it. They had been waiting for him to reach their first goal but Lin Mu had been interrupted twice now.

”Bandits kidnapping children near the territory of the Tri Cauldron Peony sect.” Lin Mu said.

~Sigh~

”I'll send the men there.” Wu Hei replied.

”Oh, I just want them to take the children. I'm gonna go ahead and wipe out the bandits.” Lin Mu said before putting the communication jade slip away.

”Wai…t ~Sigh~ this boy…” Wu Hei muttered before contacting his men that were in that region.

Lin Mu was carrying the other jade slip which showed his location thus the men Wu Hei sent wouldn't take long to reach.

”Little Shrubby, come here,” Lin Mu said through his link.

~whoosh~

The trees rustled and in less than five seconds, Little Shrubby was standing in front of Lin Mu, his paws having sunk into the ground due to the speed at which he had moved.

”Watch these children. If any bandits like these come to take them, kill them. And if men wearing clothes such as this come let them take them.” Lin Mu said before showing the uniform of the Hei corps.

”Just watch from afar and hide. Act only when needed.” Lin Mu added.

”Okay,” Little Shrubby said before disappearing into the bushes.

Lin Mu nodded his head and went to the cages before breaking them and taking out the kids. He put them together in a more comfortable position and put a mild healing pill in each of their mouths.

”This should be enough for them…” Lin Mu said before blinking away.

~shua~

A few minutes later, Lin Mu was at the location of the next bandit camp. This one was bigger than the one he had seen before, and there were even more cages here. But unlike the previous one, they were all empty.

Lin Mu sank into the ground and sneaked closer to listen to their conversations. They were relatively mundane as most bandits would talk, but Lin Mu didn't get anything of particular importance from them.
