A Surprise

~Shing~

~Splatter~

The short sword soared through the air as it cut the neck of a snow fox. 

~thud~

Before the beast could even let out a cry, its life was ended and it collapsed on the ground. 

~huu~

"Almost got me…" Lin Mu muttered.

It was the fifth day, and Lin Mu was woken up by the howl of a few beasts. He had thought that they were somewhere far away, but he suddenly detected something approaching him at a rapid speed. Little shrubby saw it too and tackled the beast with all its force before it could touch Lin Mu.

Lin Mu frankly did not expect for Little Shrubby to do that as he could very well use flicker to dodge it. But he was still touched, nonetheless.

After that, the deal was sealed pretty quickly and all it took was a flick of a sleeve before the beast was slain.

"Are you okay?" Lin Mu asked Little shrubby as he kneeled.

"Okay," Little Shrubby replied.
