Chapter 2354 A Tiny Trace Of Strangers And Third Offering Hall
Lin Mu used his immortal sense and scanned the ground, trying to see if there was anything hidden underground like before.
But after checking for kilometer he didn't find anything.
"There's nothing…" Crown Prince Feng Shun who had been looking spoke.
"I can't sense anything either." Lady Kang stated before looking at Lin Mu who was now observing with his Spatial Perception.
"There really isn't anything down there." Lin Mu furrowed his brows. "The maggot either left or wasn't here in the first place." He added.
"It might have been those strangers absorbing it, perhaps." Monk Hushu said as he observed the second barrier. "I can feel the second barrier being a bit weak… a part of it was definitely absorbed too." He said after confirming.
The group discussed about it a bit before coming to a hypothetical scenario.
"Looks like they tried to break the barriers by absorbing it, but had to stop due to either hitting a limit, or being forced away." Lin Mu stated. "How long ago do you think they were here?" Daoist Chu questioned.
"That's really hard to tell." Lin Mu replied. "Little Shrubby has been unable to smell anything particular either. So they were either here too long ago, or their smell was erased due to the Death Qi or the chimeric beasts." He explained.
"There are no footprints or any other traces." Elder Hu noted, having scoured the place already.
"Can you get your snakes to check?" Crown Princess Shang asked, knowing how they had done it before.
"Let me try," Lin Mu replied before calling out Xiao Yin and Xiao Yang.
~HISS~ HISS~
The twins knew their task and quickly got to work.
Xiao Yin opened her mouth and sucked, drawing out all the traces of darkness she could. While Xiao Yang tried to look for anything else that might be present in the area.
~SHUA~
As Xiao Yin continued to suck, she finally drew out a lone wisp of dark energy. It was tiny and was like a blot of ink floating in the air.
Against the dark backdrop of the ground. It would have been impossible to spot it if not for Xiao Yin's control.
"Its the same one as before." Xiao Yin informed Lin Mu.
"They were here." Lin Mu now had confirmation. "Since there's just one trace here, they probably came here a long item ago." Crown Prince Feng Shun guessed. "Indeed." Lin Mu thought the same. "And considering we didn't see any signs of them on the way here, perhaps there might be further ahead." He stated.
"Could be… We'll go look around." Crown Prince Feng Shun said before glancing at Monk Hushu. "Will you clear out the barrier in the meantime?" he asked.
"I shall." Monk Hushu agreed directly.
"Good, we can replenish some resources and buy more things." Ziran suggested. The group had used a decent share of materials in their journey. After all, they had been fighting without much of a break, and had ended up using Immortal stones as well as some Alchemical pills to restore their injuries. While these had been mostly minor injuries, they all knew to not let them accumulate. After all, there was no telling when the situation could turn on their heads and the danger would come pouring in onto them.
The Chimera Plants were hidden underground and one could very well sprout from right under them… at least theoretically.
Thus Lin Mu and Crown Prince Feng Shun decided to restore their injuries as soon as they got any.
Their use of pills had been liberal, and over the three months of time, they had utilized a decent amount of them. Lin Mu and Lady Kang might not have been impacted as much due to their very 'abundant' stockpiles, but that didn't mean it was the same for others.
Even the two nobles, didn't couldn't keep on using the pills like this if they kept on hunting for several more months. As such, it was best for them to replenish them when the opportunity presented itself.
Plus with the Offering Hall right in front of them, they'd be fools to not take advantage of it. Another factor was that with the credits for everyone exceeding a hundred million at the minimum, they could actually buy a few of the things they had been yearning for since the start.
Even the bloodline essence crystal of the Four Guardian Beasts didn't seem to be too far from their reach now. While they didn't know if they were compatible with the bloodlines, buying one and keeping it with them was still a massive gain. They could very well exchange it for something else later on, or improve the power of their own people.
For Lady Kang, something like this was highly valuable as she would be able to provide it to someone among her clan or her personal servants.
Qiao De on the other hand simply wanted to sell one if he couldn't use it himself.
Getting a bloodline of a Guardian Beast was something that was virtually beyond his reach in normal times. But now that he had the chance to get it, he would definitely get it.
'If I manage to obtain it, I can easily become the head manager of the Black Candle Pavilion for the entire Rust Sky world!' Qiao De could almost imagine it.
Of course he still lacked the necessary credits and was barely halfway there to buying one. But at the rate things were going, he had great hopes of obtaining it.
Lady Kang though, bought other materials that could come in handy either now or later for her clan.
Ziran also bought some things he had his eyes on, and the same could be said for the others.
Lin Mu was the only one who saved his credits, as his goal was at the very top and it needed a lot more accumulation.
Monk Hushu and Lin Mu cleared out the barrier in a few hours, while the rest of the group searched the area for any more traces.
