Lin Mu and little Shrubby traveled for about one hour before they were able to see the large city in the distance. Lin Mu halted there and looked for a suitable place where Little Shrubby could stay for the time being.
"Alright, I'll call for you if I need you. I don't know how long it is going to take me so be patient." Lin Mu said.

Lin Mu had to think for a bit before he came upon an answer.
"Yes, you can. Just make sure to cover the fire after you are done, it will make it look like a human did it. There are a lot of people living nearby so they will just assume it was a person and not a beast." Lin Mu replied.
"I'll do that then." Little Shrubby replied.
