2330 Heading To The Second Offering Hall

Ziran's words made Lin Mu stop right away as the realization stuck him.

"Yeah, that way you can save the rest. Plus, you can even add the root fragments of the Chimera Plant as the tips. Even if they are weaker than the bark, they're still sharper than most other things aren't they?

" Crown Princess Shang suggested.

"That… will work!

" Lin Mu exclaimed.

It was a modification that was very simple and wouldn't take him much to make.

In fact, he barely took three minutes to do it all. Lin Mu simply took the Null Iron rods and added the crystal socket to it that had been filled with Herbsbane. Then he took the Chimera Plant's root fragments and added them in the end.

He had already cut them in the shape of arrow tips earlier when he was testing the sharpness thus he didn't have to do it now. Though these arrow tips weren't the best with all the nicks and cuts on them from his testing.

But that didn't matter as Lin Mu didn't think of it as the first option anyways.

With that, Lin Mu now had two pairs of strong arrows.

The first set was the Mortal Reminder Arrows, with one being infused with Herbsbane poison and the second set just being pure Herbsbane arrows.

Now that they had a potentially better method to kill the Chimera Plant's the group was a lot more enthusiastic. Though they still took a couple days rest to recover all that they had spent in this time. After all, the group that had gone out for survey had returned without a stop and then helped Lin Mu forge the Null Iron.

Thus they had spent no small amount of their Qi in it. As such Lin Mu reckoned it was best to recover fully and then head out.

~ROAR~

~WHOOSH~

And on the third day, a red blur of a beast shot out of the base. If one could see it closely, they might have been able to spot the ten individuals on its back.

Lin Mu and the group utilized Little Shrubby's superior speed to reach the Eastern reaches as fast as they could. Of course along the way they hunted every Chimeric Beast they came across to reap a few more credits each.

They were also wondering if there was anything special about the second offering hall. While Lin Mu had already known that the rewards would be the same everywhere, he didn't know if there could be other things such as the murals being different.

And the close they got to the new offering hall, the greater their excitement got.

But this wasn't just because of the hall, but also the Cyclopean Chimeric Beast. After all, if their calculations were correct, the singular beast would be able to provide them a hundred million credits!

As for who would be getting the credits, it was decided to be Crown Prince Feng Shun.

He had the highest amount of credits as of now, having reached a hundred and sixty million in the month of surveying. Adding the hundred million from the Cyclopean Chimeric Beast, he would be very close to the goal of three hundred million needed for the Immortal Paragon Ring.

Of course, the Crown Prince had offered Lin Mu to be the one to take the next Seventh tribulation stage immortal realm chimeric beast they encountered. Lin Mu didn't mind it either, as he was curious about how the Immortal Paragon Ring would be. Even Xukong was wondering whom this ring belonged to as none of the known owners seemed to fit in his mind.

"You were right, the number of Chimeric Beasts reduced the closer we're getting to the Cyclopean Chimeric Beast.

" Lin Mu spoke having observed this.

"Do you think its due to the Cyclopean Chimeric beast alone or perhaps the Offering Hall?

" Daoist Chu inquired.

"Well, we haven't seen the Chimeric beasts wandering around the other Offering Hall so I'm inclined towards the latter. But from what Qiao De saw far in the north, the stronger Chimeric beasts seem to stay alone for the most part, so it might be a combination of both.

" Lin Mu said after thinking for a bit.

"Though its surprising that the Cyclopean Chimeric beast has taken such an interest in the Offering Hall too.

" He added.

"Guess we'll just have to see it with our own eyes.

" Daoist Chu replied.

They didn't have to wait for long either, as they soon saw a towering structure in the distance. And sitting beside the towering structure was a towering figure about half as tall as it.

Its singular eye was closed, while its hairy arms were cushioning its head as it laid against the side of the Offering Hall. A long fleshy tube seemed to be extending in and out from below its chin, as if in breathing.

This was none other than the Cyclopean Chimeric Beast, and it seemed to be resting.

"Go behind it, Shrubby.

" Lin Mu quickly said.

The beast did a quick turn circle around and allowed everyone to get off.

"We should take the chance for ambush now that we're being given it.

" Lin Mu stated as he drew out both his swords.

"Go first Crown Prince, and hit it as hard as you can. Maybe it's enough to take it out?

"

"Of course.

" Crown Prince Feng Shun agreed as arcs of lightning started to crawl on his skin.

"I'll try my best.

" The man said, his eyes gleaming in a purple light.

Since they needed to ensure Crown Prince Feng Shun got the credits, it was best to let him go first, just in case he killed it in one go.

While the chances were low, it was better to be sure.

~RUMBLE~

A faint rumbling sound was heard before two spheres rose from Crown Prince Feng Shun's body.

Dao Traces swirled around them announcing their presence as a Dao Embryos!

"He has two Dao Embryos?

" Lin Mu muttered in surprise.
