Walker Of The Worlds Chapter 871: An Annoying Bird's End

Chapter 871: An Annoying Bird's End

A small banquet was currently being held at the Noon Gra.s.s sect, and the guest of honor for this banquet were none other than Lin Mu and his companions. 

"Ahahah! That annoying howler ostrich finally met its match!" One of the elders laughed out loud.

"I still remember it pecked out my new robes last year. The b.a.s.t.a.r.d runs away before we can catch it. He's too fast for most of us!" another elder chimed in.

Lin Mu had been hearing all the complaints that the people had about the Howler ostrich.

"Never thought one beast would cause this much trouble to an entire sect. And this is when it didn't even kill anyone." Lin Mu said.

"Of course, though it has come close to doing that a few times. It has also injured some disciples heavily before." Another elder spoke.

"So it was just an overall nuisance." Lin Mu replied as he took a bite out of a slab of meat.

"Indeed." The elder replied as he munched on a fatty epic of meat.

"A big thanks to Little Shrubby for catching that annoying bird. Eating it is the best revenge we could have had!" the elder who had his clothes torn said with joy.

~Growl~

Little Shrubby responded with a growl as he continued to eat.

Lin Mu simply smiled and shook his head, finding it all to be rather ridiculous. The bird beast called the howler Ostrich was one of the beasts that lived in the southern forest. It usually lived in large herds, but this one wandered off to the sect.

The beast was at the Adult Soul stage of the Nascent soul realm and was significantly strong compared to most people from the sect. Not only that, but it was very fast and barely anyone could match its speed in the sect.

The beast would often take advantage of this and raid the sect for spirit herbs and fruits that they grew. It would simply barge into the protective formation arrays and eat whatever it wanted before running away.

The disciples had tried stopping it many times and even killing it, but they were unable to. It got so severe that many missions were issued, only for everyone to fail. In the end, the elders had to act themselves, but even then they ended up failing.

The speed of the Howler ostrich was faster than the average Nascent soul realm beasts and could even reach that of a Dao Sh.e.l.l realm beast. Thus, the only people in the sect that could catch the beast were the high elders that were in the Dao Sh.e.l.l realm or above.

But of course, there were very few such elders and they were mostly busy in their affairs. Plus, the attacks of the Howler Ostrich were random and unexpected, thus having a high elder keeping an eye at all times was unreasonable.

The howler ostrich had only become more and more confident over time, and finally his luck had come to an end. It ended up meeting his match in Little shrubby who had an easy time catching it.

The beast taunted Little Shrubby, and he simply s.n.a.t.c.hed him up before bringing him to Lin Mu. And thus they could all now enjoy a feast of High quality Nascent soul realm beast. Even the elders didn't eat something like this often.

They were incredibly happy with Little Shrubby and even gave him a lot of gifts. The gifts varied from various pills to spirit herbs. Since he was a beast, that was all they could think of that would make sense for a beast to have.

To them, giving a spirit tool or something like that was not the right choice. Little shrubby of course didn't mind it and took everything.

Everyone laughed and talked during the banquet, having an overall great time. This helped relieve the stress they had been under and even Lin Mu felt like he needed this after going through all he had earlier.

His wounds had also started to heal and he reckoned they should be fully healed in a few more days. While it looked like he was fine on the surface due to the healing pills, Lin Mu still had injuries internally.

Plus, he had used some self damaging attacks during his fight and had internal problems due to it. 

'That transformation due to the Burning Heart Sutra still makes by bones ache at times…' Lin Mu thought to himself.

He had already consulted Senior Xukong and was told that it was the side effect of his body growing rapidly. In a way, it was just growing pains that a person would naturally experience.

And since it was such a large change, even Lin Mu's superior body couldn't help but hurt. 

Lin Mu wanted to test it out again, but knew that now was not the time. His body was still recovering and using it now will just cause more problems.

~Sigh~

He secretly sighed to himself and thought, 'guess I'll take a break these few days. At least until the Patriarch and the others return.' 

The banquet finally ended after the entire Howler Ostrich had been eaten. Not even bones were left behind as Lin Mu and Little Shrubby munched them down as well. While it was fine when Little Shrubby did that, the others were certainly a bit taken aback by how Lin Mu ate the bones like they were crispy fried dough sticks.

Their teeth hurt just by seeing Lin Mu do that, and they avoided looking at it after the first couple of looks.

After the banquet ended, Lin Mu retired to a courtyard that he had been a.s.signed and took a bath before going to sleep. He had not slept in a long time and finally got the chance to do it.

And of course, sleeping meant he appeared in the Sleepscape.

~huu~

Lin Mu took a deep breath as he looked around the Sleepscape. He calmly walked to the two graves that laid in a serene s.p.a.ce and knelt there for an hour.

"It has been a while… Father, Mother…"
