Chapter 2528 Facing The Chimeric Beasts Again
Having listened to Xukong's solutions, Lin Mu thought about them and understood the risks that would come with them.
"We might not be able to rely on just one of them. Fighting Yao Changying is inevitable and now that she has the last Soul Fragment we cannot just let her be. But we might not be bale to do this on our own. Thus we'll need the help of others, but to contact them or even let them in we need to get rid of the Spatial Fold Barrier." Lin Mu spoke as he made a plan.
~SHUA~
Deactivating the skill, he reappeared back in the real world and informed the others.
"Looks like there aren't many methods left for us," Lin Mu stated. "We'll have to stop the person who's doing this, and also attack the barrier at the same time." "A Spatial Fold Barrier isn't something that's easy to break. It'll take sustained attacks from all of us to do any damage to it." Lady Kang stated.
"Fighting Yao Changying is something we were already prepared for but how will we do that if we are focused on damaging the barrier?" Daoist Chu questioned.
"Right now we still have time, as she hasn't come after us. We'll damage the barrier as much as we can right now, but once she comes after us, we'll have to split up and focus on both things." Lin Mu answered. "It's not the best, but we'll have to manage. Who knows how strong shes grown now that she's absorbed another Soul Fragment." He said with a frown.
The latter part was what had Lin Mu concerned for the most part. Yao Changying had already been a tough foe before, when they had fought and had grown stronger after absorbing Soul Fragments, as well as improving her control over the arrays of the Bridge Plane.
And now that she had what was possibly the final fragment of the Withered Soul Daoist, it was likely that her strength would reach never seen before levels.
~SCREECH~~SCREECH~~SCREECH~
Unfortunately for everyone, just as they were about to begin the plan, a literal horde of enemies appeared to stop it.
"What the… what are those?!?" Someone from the group said, seeing the grotesque creatures that were flying towards them.
"Chimeric Beasts!" Crown Prince Feng Shun said out loud.
"They're coming from the rifts she opened." Lin Mu guessed as he sensed the Spatial Fluctuations. "There's more rifts opening, so there will be more of them coming." His frown got deeper and deeper.
"What do we do now?" the others asked.
"Focus on killing the beasts, only those who can spare their attention will attack the barrier!" Lin Mu said as he charged in first.
This was the best approach as he and his companions knew the Chimeric Beasts weren't ones to be underestimated. Their attacks were terrifying and could easily cripple or kill someone if they lost focus for even a moment.
Having fought them for eight years in the Bridge Plane had been more than enough to teach them this lesson.
Right now, Lin Mu could only hope that the Saintess would sense the trouble.
'She would check up on us form time to time, so hopefully she does it and knows what's happening.' Lin Mu knew that if there was anyone who would be able to break the barrier it would be the Saintess if not the other emperors.
That was another option that he had in his mind.
'We are close enough to the Holy Topaz Dynasty that they should probably detect the large scale Spatial Fluctuations.' Lin Mu knew. They were analyzing them for a couple years already as means to monitor Yao Changying's appearance. 'But even if they do know, it'll take them a while to act. Only the Holy Topaz Emperor would be able to reach here at the earliest and have a chance of damaging the barrier.' As he continued to think of solutions, he was also slaughtering the Chimeric Beasts at the same time.
~SCREECH~
A group of Auroch Chimeric Beasts screamed at him while charging, which Lin Mu easily dodged and counterattacked with his swords.
~SHING~SHING~SHING~
The beasts were sliced apart with ease, just like how Lin Mu had done a million times in the Bridge Plane. The same was being done by his compassions who had experienced the hardships with him before.
"At least their strength seems to be relatively the same." Ziran said as he whipped with thirty meter long vines and split an entire group of Auroch Chimeric Beasts into halves.
"Don't think Yao Changing could do much about it." Daoist Chu said. "They are probably just the wild ones that she released with the rift."
"We had been expecting this to happen for a while, right? Looks like she's finally competent enough to actually release them." Crown Prince Feng Shun said as he rained down thunder upon the Auroch Chimeric beasts.
Now that he was out of the water, he could freely use his skills. And since they could target a lot of beasts at once, it made thinning the herd easier.
But he wasn't the only one who had an advantage in mass battles like this.
Childe Wildfire seemed to be having an easy time too as he simply blasted all the Auroch Chimeric beasts that were in the field of his view.
~BOOM~BOOM~BOOM~BOOM~
Hundreds of tennis ball sized fireballs floated behind him and trailed along his body. They went up his back and down his shoulders before spiraling around his arms and being shot through his palms.
It almost looked like a Gatling gun was being fired nonstop while a chain belt of bullets was being consumed rapidly.
His arms were pretty much like cannons as fire ball after fireball was shot, exploding into an area that was a hundred times bigger than their size
In fact, his speed was good enough that he actually managed to kill enough beasts that the other weaker members had more breathing room.
