Chapter 40: Tales Under a Crimson Sky
After having fought their way through 3 more lesser packs, the first compromising of red jackals and the second and third being mutated rats, The group had managed to bag themselves more meat than they’d bargained for.
And this was all thanks to Lin Mu and Autumn Wind who this time only supported the other’s during the hunt to avoid exposing his strange secret. He didn’t want them to start asking questions because of the disappearance of a rat or two.
Though this gave the Lang brothers something to mock him with, Their useless squabble was drowned out by the multiple thanks he received from most of the hunting party, even some who had gone against him earlier today had long since gone over to his side after he had helped them several times during the hunts, even when it seemed completely disadvantaged to him. His chivalrous behavior naturally won over their simple tribe minds that mostly valued strength and honour.
The Serinerians dismounted their beasts, tending to their mounts or unpacking supplies, while making sure their game was in order. Lin Mu slid off Autumn Wind, patting her muscular flank. " I believe the person most deserving of thanks is you dear." He muttered with a warm smile. As if it could understand him, Autumn Wind snorted softly, her eyes scanning the horizon as if trying to feign nonchalance, but her obvious reaction only made Lin Mu’s smile grow even more.
With a light chuckle, he went to join the Serinerians who were gathering in a circle on the desert floor, sitting to regain some of their lost strength from having gone through consecutive fights.
" Can I take a seat as well." Lin Mu asked a Serinerian as he made his way over.
" Hahahaha, no need to be modest brother Lin, There’s plenty of room next to me." The Serinerian replied with a cheerful smile, fortunately his sharp dentures did nothing to diminish his smile.
" Don’t listen to that dumb fart, brother Lin, the rascal probably now smells like a bag of Asxian manure after having pushed himself so much today. You can happily sit next to me." Another Serinerian said with a chuckle.
