Chapter 819 - Hundreds Of Cultivators And Camouflage (1/2)
Jing Luo heard Lin Mu's self blaming words but did not know what to say. He knew that Lin Mu had been pushing himself a lot and he had already scolded him before about trying to do anything.
But the current incident didn't really help him think any better now. Deciding that it was best to keep his silence for now, Jing Luo simply watched on. Lin Mu sat with a cold and still expression as well, his thoughts unable to be perceived from the outside.
After a couple of hours, Little Shrubby spoke up. ”This is where the cultivators start getting more common.”
Lin Mu simply nodded his head and spread his spirit sense to the maximum range. In a single direction, Lin Mu's spirit sense was now long enough to reach almost ten kilometers in range.
Though if he wanted to perceive a wider area, the range would also reduce and if it was an entire spherical radius around him, he could only reach a few hundred meters of range. Still, his range of spirit sense was a lot more than any average Dao Shell realm cultivator.
Even Dao Treading realm cultivators only had spirit sense that reached up to a hundred kilometers. Beyond that, they were unable to extend it easily since the cost of refinement increased exponentially.
With Lin Mu's range, he was able to easily detect if there was anyone in their path, and switched their flight route to go around those people. This way they avoided most if not all curators that they encountered.
Lin Mu also took note of their cultivation bases and appearances. He was on the lookout for anyone from the Zither wind alliance or anyone that may be linked to Gu Yao.
”There's a lot of cultivators from the low ranked sects now.” Jing Luo said.
”Mmhmm… a few from the high ranked sects too. They have Nascent soul realm elders guarding them.” Lin Mu commented.
Jing Luo had not sensed these people as they were out of his range, but Lin Mu had.
”They shouldn't pose any problem to us then.” Jing Luo replied.
”Hopefully. It's not that we can't fight them, it's about them letting the others know about our existence. That is what will bring trouble to us.” Lin Mu said.
”Indeed… let's just keep on avoiding them as much as we can.” Jing Luo agreed.
”You know… I can just eat them before that.” Little Shrubby chimed in.
Lin Mu looked on with narrowed eyes while Jing Luo tried to guess what was spoken.
”We aren't eating anyone… at least not when it is unnecessary.” Lin Mu replied.
Hearing this Jing Luo raised his brows and understood what Little Shrubby was intending.
”You'll just eat anything you see, won't you?” Jing Luo said.
~growl~
”I'll eat you too~”
”What did he say?” Jing Luo asked.
”Just ignore him…” Lin Mu replied.
”Hmmm…” Jing Luo squinted his eyes before looking away.
Their travel continued for a few more days and the number of cultivators that they encountered kept on increasing. It reached a point where Lin Mu had to take a significant detour to avoid a large caravan of cultivators.
