Chapter 887 - Successful Capture (1/2)

~sniff~ sniff~

”I can smell it!” Little Shrubby suddenly said.

Lin Mu looked towards him in anticipation and asked, ”where?”

”Follow me,” Little Shrubby said, and brought them through the maze of trees and vines.

The heat radiating from his body directly dried out and burned the vines that came in front of him and proved to be no obstacles. A minute later, they finally reached a clearing of the forest.

”Whoa!” Hua Yi said as he looked at the area in front.

There were no normal trees for about half a kilometer diameter, but at the very center a different kind of a plant could be seen.

”Is that the spirit herb?” Lin Mu wondered.

”That… does seem similar to the silhouette I saw. But… it's a bit bigger than that too.” Hua Yi answered.

Lin Mu narrowed his eyes and used his spirit sense to probe the spirit herb in front of him.

The herb was over two meters tall and had leaves shaped like sickles. It also had flowers that were located in clusters and were rather small. They were purple in color and let out a pleasant fragrance.

But in addition to the flowers, there were a few pod shaped things hanging from the spirit herb as well. Lin Mu could see smaller versions of the pods growing from the flowers that were starting to wilt, prompting him to think that they were actually the fruit of the spirit herb.

”It's actually bearing fruits…” Lin Mu muttered as he tried to probe the spirit herb.

But the moment his spirit sense touched the herb, it trembled.

~Rustle~

~whoosh~

Then in the next moment, all its leaves curled and wrapped around its stem, pulling the the flowers as well before it shrank into the ground.

”It got startled!” Hua Yi exclaimed and tried to detect the spirit herb.

Little Shrubby sniffed the air and quickly found the position of the spirit herb.

~SHUA~

He raised his right leg and clawed out in the air, creating a claw imprint the blazed the ground some distance away.

~RUSTLE~

~THUD~

The sentient spirit herb shout of the ground in fear and changed its direction. Little Shrubby's attack had created a deep cut on the ground that was now burning. It was at least five meters deep and was enough to stop the sentient spirit herb from retreating.

”It can't go deeper than five meters, it seems. It has a limit to how far it can dig. We just need to stop it from going away from this area!” Lin Mu quickly understood.

”I'll block the left!” Hua Yi said and quickly flew.

Little Shrubby didn't speak anything and just ran in a circle quickly, creating a wall of fire around the area.

”That'll make it a bit easy.” Lin Mu said as his spirit sense entered the ground, searching for the spirit herb again.

”THERE!” Lin Mu lunged towards a certain spot before punching down.

~BOOM~
