Chapter 2300 Heading To The Offering Hall
With how many Chimeric beasts were present in the swarm, the group didn't need to hold back and hunted to their heart's content. They all watched as the numbers on their green bands jumped with each kill, and rose faster and faster.
The battle raged for eight hours, as the number of Chimeric Beasts didn't fall as fast as they had thought.
"Are more of them coming?" Daoist Chu asked, taking a brief rest.
"Doesn't look like it." Lin Mu answered as he glanced over the horizon. "That was probably all of the Chimeric Beasts in the area that had been clumped together by the Death Qi wall." He stated.
"That's good." Crown Prince Feng Shun said. "Let's clear these out, then we can do some well deserved shopping." He stated.
"Exactly!" Crown Princess Shang was eager for it too.
~BOOM~BOOM~BOOM~
The group did their final push, wiping out the final bits of resistance among the Chimeric Beast swarm.
And about half an hour later, they all took a pause, assessing their current state.
"That… was… more exhausting than I thought." Qiao De said as he sat on the corpse of a griffin. "For sure." Min Ju was in agreement too, her forehead covered in sweat and her breath uneven. Even with their increased immortal Qi stores, the battle was not an easy one. They had to use their skills constantly, thus draining them in a constant manner. If not for the fact that the strongest Chimeric beast in the swarm was only at the Fifth Tribulation Stage of the immortal realm, they might just have had to take a temporary retreat to restore their energy.
But thankfully there was Lin Mu, Crown Prince Feng Shun and Lady Kang to absorb the more exhausting parts of the combat with their immense immortal Qi stores.
"It was a worthy battle, regardless." Lady Kang spoke as she glanced at the numbers on her wrist. "We've earned more than enough from this battle." "For sure." Crown Prince Feng Shun agreed. "If we can have… Nine or ten more such swarms… We might just have enough credits for all of us to buy whatever we desire." He estimated.
"Even now, we have enough that we can get some of the lower cost things we wanted." Qiao De said, a wide toothy smile on his face.
Lin Mu glanced at everyone's credits and knew that they had gained even more than the Chimera Plant from this battle.
The biggest gainers were of course, Lin Mu, Lady Kang and Crown Prince Feng Shun. Their credits had all exceeded more than a hundred million, with Lin Mu's reaching a hundred and eighty million.
Crown Princess Shang was the next highest, simply due to having gained a lot from the Chimera Plant earlier. She her touched the hundred million mark while Daoist Chu and Monk Hushu were both at round seventy million each.
Elder Hu had exceeded them, reaching seventy five million, while Ziran was close at seventy two million. Qiao De had obtained sixty million, having targeted the high yield targets at the start until they were all gone and he hunted the weaker ones.
The lowest was Min Ju, simply due to being in a more of a support role. Still, she had also managed to reach the forty million mark, which was higher than anything they had before this.
With such gains, the group had no issues in getting a lot of the valuable rewards from the offering hall.
The group rested for a few minutes, and also took the chance to gather some of the spoils from the battle. After all, a few of the materials from the Chimeric Beasts were actually useful like the Griffin Chimeric Beasts.
The toxins from the flying maggots were also quite corrosive, thus they made sure to collect them too, just in case they would come in handy against the Chimera Plants. Lin Mu also stored the stronger corpses as food for Xiao Yin and Xiao Yang.
With that done, the group was now ready to head to the Offering Hall.
"Little Shrubby!" Lin Mu called out their fastest means of transport.
~ROAR~
The beast appeared in a flurry of flames, ready to take them to their destination. ~sniif~sniif~
"Why do I smell rosemary and lime?" Crown Princess Shang raised her brows.
"Oh yeah, his fur smells of it." Ziran noticed too.
Lin Mu had a good idea about it and looked at Little Shrubby.
"Were you cooking?" he asked.
"I was." Little Shrubby nodded. "The pot is still on fire, so I'll have to be quick. I don't want it to burn." He stated.
"Alright, we can hurry." Lin Mu chuckled and got onto the beast's back.
The others gave a few curious looks but got onto the beast's back, wondering if the beast was rolling in herbs. ~WHOOSH~
Little Shrubby turned into a red blur and followed Lin Mu's directions as he carried them to the Offering Hall.
Along the way, Lin Mu and the others struck down any stragglers they found, as they didn't wish to waste any credit they could get. After all, it would be a great pain if they fell short of buying something they wanted and the credits they needed were just in the single or double digits.
This was also why Lin Mu had not called out Little Shrubby and the twins. While they would be a great help in killing the Chimeric Beasts, it would also be a loss of points as none of them would be obtaining them.
~CRUMBLE~
~CREAK~
Little Shrubby's claws dug into the ground, as he slowed down a kilometer before the Offering Hall.
~WHOOSH~
And before he even came to a full stop, he disappeared into thin air, having returned to the Sleepscape to tend to the stew. This of course meant, everyone was hurled from his back rather awkwardly.
"Where'd he go!?" Crown Princess Shang had not expected to be thrown like this.
"He seemed to be in a hurry…" Ziran could tell as an elf.
"Yeah, did he leave something on the stove?" Qiao De joked, not knowing how true it was.
