Walker Of The Worlds-Novel

Chapter 1206 The Haima Tribe

　　'Probably their settlement.' Lin Mu guessed.

　　While it might seem a little suspicious to follow these strange people who had attacked him just a few moments ago, Lin Mu didn't feel any danger or malice from them. Or rather, now that he looked at them again, they seemed to be looking at him with a hint of respect.

　　This feeling of respect had come out of nowhere, which confused Lin Mu a little.

　　'The man said the word for Noble and that was certainly referring to me… but why would they call me a noble?' Lin Mu thought to himself, but decided to go along.

　　"Alright, show me the place you want to take me to." Lin Mu stated.

　　The four legged strange people nodded their heads and one of them took the lead. Lin Mu watched on as the four legged person crouched, as if gathering power in his legs. After two seconds, the strange person straightened them and leaped into the air like a frog!

　　~SHUA~

　　He streaked across the air, covering an impressive amount of distance. The second one did the same while the third one gestured to follow him.

　　"Let's just do as they are, then." Lin Mu too gathered power in his legs and leaped forth like a spring.

　　But his reach was even greater than the four legged people. So much so that he had already overtaken them by twice the distance. 

　　"^*^&(*@##%$&" Unknown words were spoken with a hint of shock and awe in them.

　　Lin Mu looked back to see the four legged strange people trying to speed up. They caught up to him in less than ten seconds, letting Lin Mu leap once again. He didn't want to leave them too far back, after all.

　　There were possibly hidden dangers in the area that he might encounter. But if these strange people were guiding him, the chance of that happening was less. 

　　Just like this, Lin Mu and the Four legged strange people continued to leap and jump for about an hour before they finally came to a halt.

　　"Come… Home…" The Strange person spoke in broken words.

　　"Okay," Lin Mu said as he took a look around.

　　His spirit sense was scanning the area, but with the range reduced to ten meters he didn't really find anything. There was another hill here, which was a lot taller than the others. 

　　The strange people walked to the middle of this hill and used their javelins to knock on a rock. They tapped it in a specific pattern, after which they stopped.

　　'Is there a hidden entrance here?' Lin Mu wondered.

　　His spirit sense scanned the area and found a depression on the hill. It was covered with several layers of rocks that had been carved into the shape of a wheel. Only the top most rock that was on the outside of the hill looked natural.

　　~Tremble~

　　Vibrations could be felt in the ground as Lin Mu saw the rock wheels being moved one by one. Soon, he saw six more Four legged people appearing. They were the ones in charge of opening the 'entrance gate'.

　　"@^(**&#^" one of the six guards saw the three strange people and spoke something to them.

　　They conversed among themselves before pointing to Lin Mu, who was standing next to them.

　　"#^(R#&$#(&… Noble" The four legged person said.The latest_epi_sodes are on_the Noᴠel Fɪre.net - ɴovᴇlbin

　　The six guards had an expression of surprise on their face before nodding.

　　"Come… In… Meets… Elder…" The strange person said.

　　"Oh? We are going to meet your elder?" Lin Mu asked.

　　"Y-yes…" the strange person nodded.

　　'Maybe this elder can speak more coherently than this guy.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

　　This was the only reason he could think of them asking to meet the elder.

　　Lin Mu thus followed behind the strange Four legged people and entered the 'cave'. The corridor was wide enough for three of these people to walk side by side as well as tall enough to let them walk normally.

　　Lin Mu glanced at the rocks that were being used as pillars to hold up this corridor as well as a certain kind of plaster that had been lined on the walls, making it look a bit proper.

　　'This is relatively nice.' Lin Mu thought.

　　After walking for about ten minutes, they finally reached the end of the corridor. And when they did, Lin Mu saw a vast settlement in front of his eyes.

　　"Wow… Didn't expect this…" In front of Lin Mu were thousands of houses sprawled across the area.

　　There were torches and lamps everywhere, illuminating the settlement as well as thousands of four legged people going about their day. They were doing normal tasks and jobs, such as cleaning, weaving, cooking, and conversing in general.

　　"No matter what angle I look at this from, this is a complete civilization." Lin Mu muttered to himself.

　　He continued to walk after the four legged people as they brought him through the large settlement. It was large enough to compare to Wu Lim city and possibly had the same amount of people.

　　The area wasn't flat either, having ridges and elevated places. There were different buildings built on them as well, with a myriad of paths that interwove.

　　Lin Mu observed the four legged people and found them to be wearing clothes made from flat stone plates that were attached to each other with strong strings made out of an unknown material.

　　The clothes that these strange people wore in the settlement looked a bit better than the ones that brought Lin Mu here.

　　'Maybe they are soldiers or something? Their clothing is also a lot more camouflaging than these people in here.' Lin Mu reckoned.

　　It was certainly a new experience for him to witness this all. And he wasn't the only one having a new experience either, as the four legged people in the settlement too watched him with a variety of expressions, the most common being interest and surprise.

　　They didn't seem alarmed due to Lin Mu, nor did they have any enmity against him. All this only made Lin Mu think that perhaps the three people had attacked him due to a mistake of some kind.

　　'Or maybe they were just defending their land.' Lin Mu guessed.

　　It was something normal to prevent intruders from entering one's land, after all. And Lin Mu couldn't blame them for trying to do their normal duties.

　　Though while walking though the settlement, Lin Mu was confused due to something.

　　'These people… they don't have a normal cultivation base.' Lin Mu discovered.

　　Even the three that had brought him here didn't have the same spirit Qi fluctuations that Lin Mu felt from cultivators. But what Lin Mu did sense from them was vital energy. It was in a far higher concentration than most cultivators Lin Mu had encountered.

　　'They were as strong as Nascent soul realm experts and don't have the same level of spirit Qi fluctuations. Rather, they are only half as strong as that. But then the vitality is also far stronger than a normal expert of that level.

　　It's almost as if… these two are combined?' Lin Mu analyzed.

　　Lin Mu would have thought that they were even body cultivators, but couldn't confirm it just from that.

　　'Hmm… just like the memoirs of the Lost immortal… there are many paths of cultivation in the world, and I seem to have encountered a new one today.' Lin Mu thought to himself with a look of interest on his face.

　　He ended up walking for around a kilometer distance before the four legged people brought him to a large building. It was built on a small plateau that rose to a height of fifteen meters tall.

　　This was certainly one of the tallest buildings in the entire settlement.

　　"Looking at its quality, it is certainly something made for a higher ranked person." Lin Mu muttered.

　　"%#^($&#$(&" The strange person who spoke in broken Dao script said something out loud before tapping his spear on the ground.

　　Lin Mu watched on in interest as the door of the stone building opened after a minute.

　　~CREAK~

　　A loud creak was heard as the hinges of the stone door ground with no lubrication. And from the door walked out another Four legged person. But this person was a lot older, having a dry straw like beard. 

　　He wore a woven hat on his head with robes made out of a similar material. This was the first person Lin Mu had seen here, wearing clothes made out of some kind of a textile.

　　But that wasn't all as Lin Mu could feel significant spirit Qi waves from this person. 

　　"At least at the Dao Treading realm…" Lin Mu raised his brows.

　　This confirmed one fact for Lin Mu; he was now in a higher world than the Xiaofan world. After all, a Dao Treading realm expert would normally be the peak of power in the Xiaofan world and would be enough to run a large sect or even a kingdom.

　　And yet there was one in what was clearly a 'primitive' tribe.

　　"Are you the elder?" Lin Mu asked in Dao script.

　　"The children weren't mistaken… A noble." The elder said with a hint of surprise in his voice.

　　The surprise was momentary though, as he soon composed himself.

　　"We welcome the Human Noble to our tribe, The Haima Tribe!" The Elder greeted out loud

　　Hearing the name of the tribe and the words of the elder, calling him a noble, Lin Mu was intrigued.
