Itās been 10 days since Lin Mu decided to leave with them. Along the journey, Lin Mu saw a lot of wild animals of this world, every each of them looked ruthless and abnormal, which made him once again sigh at his extraordinary luck. In those days when he was walking alone, he didnāt encounter any beast that could endanger his life.
When it is almost the time to take a rest, Cohen the white winged tiger was sent out to scout for a place to rest. Patrik normally asked them to look for places where they are relatively safe and can replenish their water supply. Water is very important for people who needs to keep going from one place to another. In the past, they used to drink more water because they didnāt have any containers to store it. Now, because Lin Mu found a bamboo forest while searching for food, each of them has their own bamboo tube to store water, which is much more convenient than before.
According to the information brought by Cohen, they flew straight to the riverside. All those huge body began to slowly descend, and they turned into their human form the moment they touched down.
Lin Mu weakly struggled to get down from Patrik1. Traveling non-stop these few days has changed Lin Muās excitement into exhaustion. He weakly went to a patch of soft grass and laid down. On the grass, he relaxed his whole body and heaved a big sigh. The feeling of not able to lift up his spirit the whole day is really depressing.
After Patrik has arranged everything, he saw Lin Mu lying lazily on the ground. Patrik knows that Lin Mu has been working hard for the past few days. Every time he sees Lin Mu eating just a little bit of food, it makes Patrik worried. Thinking of the reason why Lin Mu was not able to eat more2, Patrikās eyes were dark and he clenched his fists. He lowered his hand helplessly, thinking of his own people.
Lin Mu felt the area in front of him suddenly darkened and opened his eyes. āPatrik?ā Then he sat up.
Patrik sat down next to Lin Mu. āHow do you feel?ā\nLin Mu heard his question and couldnāt help but pouted. āNot good.ā Yes, not good, not good at all. Lin Mu hasnāt eaten any salt for 7 days now, which is a very uncomfortable thing for an earthling like him. Whenever he thought of the unsavory barbecues he had eaten these days, Lin Mu could feel his stomach aching.
The beastmen can replenish their salt intake by drinking animal blood. When Patrik forced Lin Mu to drink blood, Lin Mu finally understood why the beastmen drunk the blood when they cleaned their prey every day. But for Lin Mu, the result from forcing him to drink blood was he puked his guts out. Hence, for the little āfemaleā Misha to drink a cup of blood without changing expression, Lin Mu can only admire, but will never follow his example.
Lin Mu had a headache when he thought about this salt problem. Frowning at Patrik, he solemnly said, āI will not drink blood today, never!ā
After a few days of getting along, towards this leader of the drifter beastmen, the legendary terrifying beast, he donāt have the slightest fear at all. Although Patrikās expression was very blank like he has facial paralysis, and sometimes he somehow keep emitting cold air around him. which even the naughty Casso would be very scared, but Lin Mu was not afraid of him. Perhaps it is because Lin Mu thinks that he is a kind person.
Although Patrik had a headache from Lin Muās unwillingness to drink blood, he can only nod his head now.
Seeing the sun is setting soon, Lin Mu stood up and patted away some stray grass from his body. He turned to Patrik and said, āLetās go, I want to go to find something to eat.ā
Lin Mu canāt do it like them and just eat meat everyday. It was very bitter for Lin Mu to keep eating meat these few days. Although it is possible for him to eat fruit like a few days ago, his stomach has begun to oppose it as well.\nāItās not easy to make stir-fry to eat now, but getting some suitable vegetable to roast is still possible.ā
Lin Mu was still a bit shocked by the fact that they know how to use fire to cook their food and yet didnāt know to use a pot.
Patrik nodded and said, āBut you canāt go far.ā Ever since Lin Mu almost got himself eaten by a small fanged animal while looking for fruit a few days ago, Patrik no longer allows him to search for food by himself, or go far from them. Patrik will never allow such thing to happen again.
āEn, en, letās go.ā He pulled at Patrikās arm and dragged him to hurry up. Lin Mu was happy to search for food, and did not see Lalās resentful eyes from him and his boss being too āintimateā. āLittle Mu Mu, you hurt me. ā
When Cohen passed by Lal, he was disgusted by his(L) expression , so he couldnāt help rubbing salt to the wound and said, āIf you donāt hurry to go hunting, Laoda(Boss) will hurt you even more.ā
Walking in the forest, Lin Mu felt that his spirit become much better. āPatrik, the air here is really fresh, and taking a deep breath makes people feel comfortable. Unlike my place there, every breath could smell a stink in the air.ā
āEn.ā
Patrik didnāt understand what was so special about the air here. He looked at Lin Mu smiling happily, and he felt that his smile was very nice. Although Lin Mu always say something he couldnāt understand, he still liked to listen to him(LM) talking to him, looking at his(LM) happy face. This is better than the sorrowful aura that he occasionally exudes. Every time he sees Lin Mu dazing by himself, Patrik will have a feeling that Lin Mu is unreachable. That feeling makes him feel restless.
\nLin Mu looked at the chubby little guy, itās about the size of a cat. Its fur is white and long, and it was furry all over its body. Round little body, round little head, round blue eyes and also small rounded ears. āItās so cute!ā Lin Mu vigorously rubbed the body of the little thing with his face.
Unexpectedly, the little thing stopped struggling and happily stretched out its little tongue to lick Lin Muās face. No doubt, Lin Mu is going to die from the meng/moe.
Patrik watched Lin Mu happily teasing the little thing, and sighed in his heart that females really do liked this kind of creature that has of no use (their meat was not enough to even stuff his teeth) but ācuteā. Although, he couldnāt understand what is ācuteā at all. But one thing he knows right now is he is jealous that the little thing can lick Lin Muās cheeks without any problems.
Just when Patrik wanted to use his icy gaze to let the little thing feel his anger, Lin Mu has already given it a name, a very apt name ā Qiuqiu3, and Lin Mu felt that Qiuqiu also liked it. Because when Lin Mu called him by that name, it intimately kissed his face. Though, Lin Mu only come to realize it after a long time later, that Qiuqiu was actually asking him to change the name which Lin Mu ignored and misinterpreted its eagerness. However, Lin Mu did not know about this at this moment so Qiuqiuās name was confirmed.
Lin Mu held Qiuqiu in his arms, and the smile on his face has yet to recede. āPatrik, itās not early anymore, and I donāt see any vegetation to eat. Letās go back first.ā
Patrik frowned and looked around, he couldnāt see even one fruit nearby. āEn.ā Patrik will have to figure out how to make Lin Mu eat more.
Lin Mu happily raised Qiuqiu, āQiuqiu need to go with us oh.ā
Just as Lin Mu is about to leave, Qiuqiu suddenly broke away from his arms and ran away.
