Lin Mu stopped in his tracks upon hearing the voice. He hoped that things would not progress as he was imagining them. He turned back to see four men standing behind him; he had seen them standing in the tannery when he was selling the Snow veiled hare.

As many people were staring at Lin Mu when he was carrying the Snow veiled hare, he had not noticed that these four men had a greedy look in their eyes when he sold the Snow veiled hare for 70 silver coins.

"Hey brat answer us, where did you find the Snow veiled hare?" said the man who had called Lin Mu.

"And tell us truthfully or you'll have to face the consequences." Added another man.

All four men looked rugged and gave off vibes that they were up to no good. Lin Mu had not seen these guys ever before, so did not know whether they were hunters. If they were hunters Lin Mu would not worry as much, as they would not do anything rash, but if they were not, then it would be a different situation.

"I found and caught the Snow veiled hare in the western edge of the forest." Said Lin Mu lying through his teeth.

Lin Mu did not want to expose the location of the hunting shack where he was living in. These men did not look like they were decent and would definitely come to Lin Mu if they did not find the Snow veiled hare. Not to mention all the secrets of the ring which he did not want others to find out about.

"Is that so, huh? So you wouldn't mind showing us the place yourself?" the man standing at the front asked with an evil smile on his face.

The other men already looked like they were already getting impatient and would attack Lin Mu if he did not agree.

"Uh, ok, I'll show you guys." Spoke Lin Mu.

Lin Mu had no intention of following through with the intentions of the men. He would find a suitable opportunity and run away at the first sight of danger. Lin Mu even wondered that if he did not get an opportunity to run, he would just take them to the area which was destroyed by the unknown beast and try to hoodwink his way out from there.

But before he could continue his train of thought, the man spoke again,

"If you're sure of it, then you should have no problem handing over the silver coins you got from the clerk to us."
