Chapter 1982 Ashy
Having cooked who knows how many corpses, the beast chef found his energy to be falling.
Little Shrubby was getting quite a bit tired now, as he had been using his flames nonstop to cook them.
These were all immortal beasts, and as such normal fire wouldn't even harm them. Only Little Shrubby's Immortal fire could cook them properly.
As such, the beast had expended quite a bit of his energy in this process.
Still, not wanting to disappoint his master, Little Shrubby continued his work. At the same time, he could feel that his own cultivation base was actually improving due to the constant practice.
Because of this, the beast was gaining too and there were no losses.
Thankfully by the time the third day rolled in, Lin Mu finally felt a shift in his stomach.
~SHUA~
The obscure runes on his stomach all turned into rings and disappeared on the surface.
~HUU~
"That is certainly a new record for me." Lin Mu muttered to himself as he rubbed his stomach.
He finally had a sense of satisfaction and did not feel like his hunger would go out of control any time soon.
'Though even if it is now normal, I feel like I can still eat more if I want to.' Lin Mu thought to himself. Yôur favorite stories at novelhall.com
But he took a look at Little Shrubby and the hard working twins and shook his head.
'This is enough for now. If I need it, I'll have to handle it later.' Lin Mu thought to himself and spoke. "You three can rest now." "Are you fine now?" Little Shrubby asked.
"Yeah, that was enough food for me." Lin Mu replied.
It was a bit exciting and novel for him, as this was the same as recording a new discovery. In fact, he could write a detailed account of the bird and its characteristics before adding it to a book and selling it.
There would certainly be some information pavilions willing to buy it.
Of course, the cost wouldn't be much, not even a handful of spirit stones. But it would still be a new discovery nonetheless.
If one wanted to make a lot more from such books, they would have to gather hundreds of beast records first. But this was a hard task, as most of the beasts were either already recorded, the beasts they found would simply be a variant of those per-existing beasts.
The bird also fit the latter category as it could be considered a variant of a Snow Stream Sparrow before. But now it had turned into an entirely new species. Still, Lin Mu didn't rush to name it.
He first let its body fully develop, as there was no telling if other characteristics would appear. But one thing was for sure, he was now going to keep the bird.
"Guess another tamed beast wouldn't hurt." Lin Mu smiled and began to establish a link between himself and the bird.
Due to the bird's cultivation base and Lin Mu's own bloodline, it was a very easy task for him to turn it into a Tamed Beast. He didn't need any complex technique for this, just the basic beast taming method was more than enough to work.
After all, the bird was just at the Dao Shell realm, while Lin Mu was an immortal.
~shua~
Shortly after, the link was established and the tiny bird had officially become Lin Mu's fourth tamed beast.
It was still asleep though, and had no idea that it had become a tamed beast. Of course, even if it did know, there was little chance that it would reject.
Lin Mu had already saved it before, and the bird liked him.
This was something that would have happened regardless.
"Now for a name... at least a nickname." Lin Mu muttered as he looked at the ash colored feathers that had now grown more.
"You're name shall be... Ashy."
