Chapter 746: Stronger Beasts And A Vantage Point (1/2)

Having confirmed the existence of Dao Shell realm beasts, Lin Mu decided to stay clear of such areas, at least until he was confident of taking them on. He was still in the Adolescent Soul stage of the Nascent Soul realm and needed to reach the Adult stage at the very least before he would be able to have some confidence in battling Dao Shell realms beings.

Lin Mu and Little Shrubby continued their search through the forest and observed the flora and fauna around. There were a variety of plants and animals that Lin Mu had not seen before.

There were also plenty of spirit herbs that were unknown to him here.

”May as well take some of everything, just in case.” Lin Mu said to himself.

Thus he picked whatever herbs he could while walking around and stored them in the ring. He didn't know if they would ever come in handy later, but he reckoned it was better to have it than not need it than need it and not have it.

~Growl~

Lin Mu was about to pick another spirit herb that looked like a cross between an orchid and a lily when he heard a growl from the back. His spirit sense extended immediately and caught the beast midway.

~WHOOSH~

~Boom~

But before he could even do anything, a fire ball hit the beast and it was knocked to the side.

~thud~

Little Shrubby was the one who had attacked of course and he was now standing just at the head of the beast that had just tried to attack them. He bared his fangs at the beast and pressed upon its head with his paw.

”Oh? It's a Nascent soul realm beast?” Lin Mu was surprised.

He was surprised because the beast had let out no spirit Qi fluctuations and had a rather fast speed. Normally his spirit sense would have detected anything way faster than they could get to him.

Still, Little Shrubby was way faster and reacted before he could. Looking at the beast, Lin Mu found it to be rather different. It had the head of a Jackal, body of a bull, tail of a wolf, and broad hooves like that of a horse.

It had no horns but it did have bumps on his head that looked similar to them.

”A Wood Trampler beast?” Lin Mu recognized after a few seconds.

He had read about such beasts before and knew that they lived in dense forests. They could be found on the Xiaofan worlds as well but were only seen in the great southern forest.

”It's at the Infant Soul stage and yet it's quite fast, didn't expect them to be this good.” Lin Mu said as he stabbed the short sword into the neck of the beast, killing it.

”This will serve a good meal,” Little Shrubby said feeling pleased.
