Chapter 1444 The Forgotten Comfort Of Speed

With the lockdown lifted, Lin Mu had no need to stop anywhere.

He directly left the city and few for at least two hundred kilometers more before stopping.

"This should be far enough," Lin Mu said before calling for Little Shrubby.

~SHUA~

In the next second, Little Shrubby materialized in front of him, having returned from the Sleepscape.

"Where are we going?" Little Shrubby knew that there were supposed to go somewhere.

"East from here." Lin Mu answered.

"Okay!" Little Shrubby was actually really excited to run again.

He wanted to see just how fast he had gotten after the breakthrough and was feeling a surge of energy within him. The harness appeared on his back automatically and Lin Mu climbed onto it before strapping himself in.

Though while doing this, a few thoughts appeared in his mind.

'I should replace the Spatial Storage belt that little Shrubby has and the harness too.' Lin Mu thought.

The Spatial Storage belt didn't have that much capacity even if it had been upgraded by Jing Luo in the past. With the amount of beasts they hunted and the stuff they gathered, Little Shrubby needed a much bigger storage.

Then there was the Harness which was reaching the end of its usage. If was good in the past, but now there were several factors that were pushing it to its limits. The first was the simple fact that Little Shrubby's size had grown too much.

Even at its maximum limit, the Harness was barely fitting him and thus Little Shrubby needed to stay in a smaller form. Then there was the fact that the durability of the Harness wouldn't be enough to bear the speed of Little Shrubby as well as Lin Mu's own weight.

Of course, Lin Mu didn't actually need a harness to sit on Little Shrubby for now, and could use his own strength to hold on. But the Harness simply made things a lot more convenient and comfortable.

'Plus I was able to sleep without an issue too… I'll see if I can get another harness later.' Lin Mu thought. 'Or I might just make one myself… I do have plenty of materials…' he recalled the immortal beast materials he had in the storage.'

While Lin Mu hadn't practiced spirit tool refinement much, not to mention immortal tool, he still had all the notes from Jing Luo. He had memorized all of them over time, but hadn't put it into practice as much.

'A harness is relatively simple, so I should still be able to use the spirit tool refinement methods for it. The concepts and general principle will be the same after all. Plus, with the immortal materials, just their basic durability should be a lot better than the old harness.' Lin Mu decided for later.

These thoughts passed within a few seconds and Lin Mu spoke, "Let's go!"

~ROAR~

Little Shrubby let out an excited roar, and his aura surged. Then in the next moment, his limbs turned into a blur with him accelerating at a blinding pace.

~WHOOSH~

Within ten seconds, Little Shrubby had reached a speed where he could only be seen as a red blur streaking across the landscape.

And Lin Mu who was on his back reminisced the old memories. A sense of comfort returned to him, one that he had forgotten ever since he arrived in the Rust Sky world.

"This is what I desired… Freedom to explore and freedom to learn…" Lin Mu lightly muttered, his voice muffled by the strong winds.

His hair flew along with the wind, while his robes fluttered nonstop.

~BOOM~

A minute later, Little Shrubby created a sonic boom, reaching a new level of speed.

But this was merely the start.

The more he ran, the faster he got. Little Shrubby tapped into his body's potential, increasing his speed more and more.

The forest around them zipped by, and soon they were in the mountains. Little Shrubby leaped across the mountains, impaling cliffs and creating craters here and there as he traversed the mountains.

The beasts and other inhabitants were left confused and scared as they could only see cracks and craters appearing out of nowhere. They couldn't even see Little Shrubby, as he was too fast.

Even his aura had been muffled with it, making it harder for the immortal beasts to know. The ones that had their immortal sense spread around found it very difficult too. For them, it felt like a very strong gust of wind had passed by and their immortal sense couldn't even pick up in the immortal Qi fluctuations.

The mountains Lin Mu was passing through were very vast. In fact, they were the biggest mountains Lin Mu had ever seen, as even the northern Mountains of the Xiaofan world couldn't compare.

'Considering Little Shrubby's speed, and the rate at which we're crossing the land… this mountain range is already the size of several countries.' Lin Mu could only compare it with his home world.

He knew that little Shrubby's speed had reached a new level and was more than twice his previous speed. In just ten minutes, Lin Mu estimated that they had crossed a few thousand kilometers already.

But this was nothing compared to the size of the Huiqing Continent.

The Rust Sky world itself was countless times bigger than the Xiaofan world and there were no proper estimates as to how big it really was.

'Only with Little Shrubby's help will I be able to travel faster. Otherwise, flying on my own will limit me quite a bit,' Lin Mu thought to himself. 'Not to mention, the other beasts don't seem to be able to sense him at this speed,' He noticed.

These two factors combined made for the perfect duo and Lin Mu soon saw the end of the mountain range.

"Whoa… that's a large plateau…" In front of Lin Mu appeared an elevated tract of land at least a hundred kilometers wide and four hundred kilometers long.

And on top of this plateau was his intended destination.

Skylark City!
