Chapter 675: The Hong Lin Forest (1/2)

Swords and spears flew around as they decapitated, pierced and killed the Green tailed howler monkeys. In less than five minutes, the entire horde of monkeys was eliminated while Little Shrubby finished up fighting the chief.

He too returned with the corpse of the Green Tailed Howler monkey chief, which was being carried by the prosthetic hands.

”Well… that was quite a bit of action.” Lin Mu said upon seeing the hundreds of corpses that littered the forest now.

”This is unusual though. They should not have been active at this time, not to mention attack us like this.” Jing Luo commented.

”Indeed, this does not seem like their natural behavior.” Lin Mu agreed.

He then looked at all the corpses and didn't feel like letting them go to waste.

”Little Shrubby, can you pile all the corpses up here?” Lin Mu asked.

~shua~

Little Shrubby didn't even wait to answer before he started collecting all the corpses. With his speed, only two minutes were needed before all the corpses had been stacked into a pile near Lin Mu.

Lin Mu then simply placed his hand on them and stored them into the ring, leaving only the Chief Howler monkey outside.

”You want its bones, right?” Lin Mu asked.

”Yes, I can use that to make a fluted staff.” Jing Luo replied as he flicked his hand and set a spirit dagger to butcher the corpse.

”What's the Fluted staff exactly?” Lin Mu asked while watching Jing Luo dissect the Howler monkey chief.

”It's a high grade spirit staff that makes sounds when it is used. It has special holes and groves in it that makes sounds while passing through the air. These sounds can be modified with formations to cause disturbance to the opposing enemies.” Jing Luo explained.

”Ah, I see.” Lin Mu nodded his head.

While he also knew about staffs and had used some according to the thousand armament blade scripture, those staffs were different as they were all bladed, unlike normal staffs that were blunt weapons.

Overall, Lin Mu had not used as many blunt weapons and thus did not have as much experience with them. Once they were done with the clean up, the trio continued their journey and eventually reached their destination.

”That's the capital of the Hong Lin kingdom.” Jing Luo spoke.

The two men stood on top of a hill as the sun rose from the horizon, casting a glow that made it seem like the forest was lit up with red flames. In the center of the forest, a city could be seen which was populated by over a million people.
