Walker Of The Worlds-Novel

With the harness upgraded with a superior version, Lin Mu was now ready to leave.

"The Harness should be able to bear the speed easily. Plus, even if it gets damaged from any stray attack, it would be able to defend on its own. I added some defensive formations on it too." Jing Luo spoke.

"That's good. The earlier one needed to be protected from attacks." Lin Mu replied.

Jing Luo basically had a mountain of materials to make things from and thus, making a harness like this was rather fast. They had hunted thousands of beasts, many of which were at the Nascent soul realm as well, thus the harness was made from a very good quality spirit beast leather.

"Okay, little shrubby. Link up with it and brand your spirit sense on it." Lin Mu ordered.

"Okay," Little Shrubby replied, and did just that.

He then tested by putting the harness into one of his many spatial storage treasures and withdrawing it again, just to see if it was perfectly fitting or not. Jing Luo had upgraded the belt on Little Shrubby's neck to accommodate more spatial storage tools.

This was so that Little Shrubby could store the other beast corpses he hunted down and some extra things that he had like spirit stones and pills. Of course, none of those spatial storage treasures were as good as the ring that Jing Wei had repaired, but having a multiple of them fixed the storage space problem.

"We'll take our leave now." Lin Mu said with a nod.

"Very well. I'll inform you if something comes up. The jade slips should work even at that distance." Jing Luo replied.

With their goodbyes complete, Lin Mu and Hua Yi strapped onto Little Shrubby's back and he started moving.

"Hold on tight, it might be a bit fast at first, but you'll get used to it." Lin Mu said.

"Okay senior." Hua Yi replied and prepared for it.

He was a Nascent soul realm cultivator and was thus not afraid of injuries, but he was still a bit unprepared for the speed that Little Shrubby was about to display. He started off with a light run, which soon turned into a full blown sprint.

~WHOOSH~

After a certain point, a gust of wind tore through the trees and made them bend when Little Shrubby ran over them.

"This… is… really… fast…" Hua Yi said with difficulty as wind poured into his mouth.

"We're just starting." Lin Mu said, unaffected by the buffeting wind.

Hua Yi looked at him and saw a faint brown light encasing him. The mortal Strengthening Scripture could even protect Lin Mu from the air resistance while traveling fast.

Though Hua Yi didn't expect it to be even faster than this.

'Just how fast will he go? This is already more than my speed…' Hua Yi was shocked.

~BOOM~

Little Shrubby's powerful and muscular legs gathered power before pressing down onto the grounds and shooting ahead with even greater speed. Craters were created where ever his feet landed from the force, but his speed only increased more.

"GAH!" Hua Yi was forcefully bent backwards from the inertia and barely managed to straighten back up.

If it were any normal human or even a cultivator at the Qi refining realm, they might have just broken their backs from this. A hint of fear appeared in Hua Yi's eyes for the first time as he shut his mouth and held on tightly to the harness.

Even if the harness was holding him securely, he still felt a little afraid that he might be sent flying. His Nascent soul realm cultivation base might not be enough to bear the force of this and he would still get injured.

He certainly did not want to happen and used all his power to make sure of that.

Lin Mu knew what was happening to Hua Yi, but let it happen. There wasn't much he could do other than trying to block as much of the wind as he could with his body. After all, not everyone had a Body cultivation at the two treasured organs stage of the Five Treasures realm.

Just Lin Mu's bare body was enough to bear the attacks of a Adult Soul Stage Nascent soul realm cultivator with no damage and even exceed their strength by a certain percentage.

Perhaps if Lin Mu was not sitting in front of Hua Yi, the man might have already passed out or fallen off Little Shrubby's back. Still… there was nothing the man could complain about and simply gritted his teeth to keep on holding.

About an hour later, Hua Yi felt a lot better and had gotten acclimatized to the speed.

~huu~

He took a relaxed breath and slumped his back. The tenseness he had from the fast travel finally made him tired. Hunching his back slightly to make it a bit more comfortable, Hua Yi started to look around.

He had also gotten used to seeing the surroundings moving at a great speed and could now guide Lin Mu on the paths. This chapter is updated by NoᴠelFɪre.net

"Go north east from here Senior." Hua Yi informed.

"Okay," Lin Mu said, and relayed the information to Little Shrubby.

Even if he was scanning the area with his spirit sense, it was still a little hard to match the real directions with a map. Thankfully, Hua Yi could guide him rather well. In the end, six hours passed and they finally reached the second boundary of the Great Southern forest.

"We're close now, senior Lin Mu. We should slow down from here or we might miss them." Hua Yi stated.

"Alright." Lin Mu said and transmitted the information to Little Shrubby, who changed direction accordingly.

~BOOM~ BOOM~

But even something as mundane as changing direction while running made craters in the ground and thus, the control needed for this was higher.

About ten minutes later, the first forbidden zone finally appeared in Lin Mu's eyes.

"So this is it…" Lin Mu muttered as he saw the damp and stuffy air.
