Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 1985 A Cry For Help

While Ashy was not as fast as Little Shrubby or the twins, Lin Mu could see why she could avoid immortal beasts that hunted her before.

Though it did make Lin Mu wonder what kind of abilities she had now. So far there wasnʼt much she had shown and it didnʼt seem like she fully understood it either.

”Well, sheʼll figure it out eventually.” Lin Mu reckoned.

Lin Mu returned to practicing his skills and spent an hour like this before he heard a frantic voice in his head.

”Master HELP!” Lin Muʼs eyes immediately became serious. ”Are you in danger?” he quickly asked.

”Not me, my friend is in danger!” She replied.

”Your friend? One of the beasts?” Lin Mu asked.

”Yes! Weʼre coming towards you right now.” Ashy answered.

”Iʼll meet you midway.” Lin Mu said before stomping the ground and shooting towards the direction where he had sensed Ashy.

His immortal sense picked up on the bird as well as another beast that was with her. The beast was small too, being about the size of small puppy.

ʼWhat beast is that?ʼ Lin Mu wondered as its features were a bit strange.

He didnʼt have to think long though as he soon saw, Ashy as well as her friend.

~ANG~

Lin Mu heard the frantic cry of the new beast which looked like a small fox. But unlike a normal fox, its ears were wings!

It flew using them and was accompanying Ashy. The fox had shiny yellow fur that was quite long as well as a bushy tail. Its eyes were like small black pearls and carried anxiety within them.

”Itʼs an immortal beast.” Lin Mu quickly sensed.

”Master, Fluff-fluff needs help.” Ashy spoke.

”Fluff-fluff?” Lin Mu was a bit taken aback by the name, but didnʼt question it since the situation was serious. ”What happened?” he asked.

~ANG~ANG~

The fox cried with anxiety and fear in its eyes.

”Fluff-fluff said his master is in danger. Sheʼs being surrounded by beasts and cannot get away.” Ashy translated for Lin Mu.

”Show me,” Lin Mu quickly said and called out Little Shrubby.

”Run, we have to save someone.” Lin Mu said in short.

Little Shrubby didnʼt question anything and quickly grew to his bigger size.

Lin Mu got not his back, while Ashy and the fox sat in front of them.

~SHUA~

Little Shrubby burst into a sprint and turned into a red blur streaking through the bamboos.

~ANG~ANG~

”That way,” Ashy spoke for the fox.

Little Shrubby understood the fox, so he quickly changed directions accordingly. Lin Mu on the other hand spread his immortal sense to the max, ready for anything.

ʼSince the fox has a master, it must be a tamed beast too.ʼ Lin Mu understood.

He checked the beast for any injuries and more, but was surprised.

ʼWait… it has no imprint… itʼs not a tamed beast?ʼ Lin Mu did not expect that.

Normally every tamed beast would have an imprint that could be felt by others. This was also how other cultivators were prevented from making an already tamed beast theirs.

The imprint was both a sign of ownership as well as protection. But the fox didnʼt have any imprint on him.

Lin Mu did a double check just to ensure that he hadnʼt missed it somehow. After all, there were many beast taming techniques and the imprints from them could vary.

ʼThereʼs definitely not imprint… this is not a tamed beast.ʼ Lin Mu confirmed. ʼBut it still has a master?ʼ he was now curious as to who the master was.

Little Shrubby continued to run according to the directions provided by the fox and had already come more than five hundred kilometers away.

ʼThis far? Just how much did this fox fly?ʼ Lin Mu couldnʼt help but be surprised.

After all, the fox was not that fast in flying. Even if it was an immortal beast, it did not seem to be that fast. Which meant that it had taken it a while to come here until it found Ashy.

”I smell blood… lots of it.” Little Shrubby warned.

”Human?” Lin Mu narrowed his eyes.

”No, beast.” Little Shrubby replied.

”Hmm… speed up.” Lin Mu said and got ready as fiery energy emanated from his body.

About a hundred kilometer from where Lin Mu was, a massive pack of wolves could be seen.

They were all about two meters tall and three meters long. They had dark green fur that blended in with the Evergreen Pillar Bamboos with ease along with two horns on their head that looked like branches.

Their claws looked like long acacia thorns while there eyes were hazel brown in color. All of them seemed to be immortal beasts with their cultivation base varying from the first tribulation stage of the Immortal realm to the third Tribulation stage of the immortal realm.

~GROWLS~

And all these wolves were surrounding a person.

It was a young girl that looked to be around five to six years old. Her eyes were red from crying and tears stained her cheeks. Her hair which had originally been tied in two buns was hanging half open now.

It was clear that she had been running for a while.

Her light pink robes were torn in several places while a few runes flickered on them. It was clear that robes were defensive immortal robes and had been protecting her.

~GROWL~

A couple of the wolves lunged at her, making her scream.

”Go away!” She cried and shouted.

~SHUA~

Two hair pins on her head glowed and released a pulse of energy, knocking back the wolves.

~WHIMPERS

The wolves cried, as their bones broke from the impact.

~Crack~

But at the same time, the hair pins shattered, having run out of all energy.

~HOWLS~

The wolves seemed to have understood that their foe was now helpless and howled in joy. With fangs dripping with saliva, tens of them jumped at the helpless girl together.

”Mommy!” the girl cried out.

But just when the wolves were a mere few inches from her, they crashed into towering man clad in rocky armor.
