Chapter 2337 Heading South
~BIHIIIII~
The Chimeric Beast the group encountered was none other than one of the common Auroch Chimeric Beasts.
"The Third Tribulation Stage of the Immortal Realm." Lin Mu checked the cultivation base of the beast and saw the projected dot on the Radar.
"So a dot of this thickness is a Third Tribulation Stage Realm Chimeric beast." Crown Prince Feng Shun noted before killing the Chimeric Beast with a single wind blade. "Hmm… we should be able to figure out the rest based on this." He looked at the other dots and found them to have different sizes.
"I can add this." Daoist Chu nodded and did a little modification to the Chimera Radar.
~SHUA~
With that, little change the number of dots being projected onto the disk changed as well. The numbers greatly reduced and only about ten or so dots could now be seen.
"We can now filter the specific Chimeric Beasts depending on their cultivation base." Daoist Chu informed.
"That'll come in handy." Lady Kang said finding it useful. "Though for now, I suppose its best to keep it unfiltered so that we can see every beast and kill them." She added.
"Indeed." Daoist Chu nodded.
"We can utilize the filter for when we need to track down the Sixth or Seventh Tribulation Stage Realm beasts." Ziran said.
Now that they had determined that the Chimera Radar worked well, they had no reason to wait and began their journey to the south. Of course, they spared no effort in hunting the Chimeric Beasts along the way either.
The majority of the stronger chimeric beasts they encountered were killed by the Crown Prince with the weaker ones being killed by the others so that the target of three hundred million credits could be reached.
Still, it was not something that was going to be done easily and as such the group took their time to hunt every Chimeric beast in their path.
A week passed like this, as the group cleared out a massive number of Chimeric Beasts along the way to the south. Majority of the Chimeric Beasts they killed were all below the Fifth Tribulation Stage of the Immortal Realm though, with only three Chimeric beasts at the Fifth and one at the Sixth Tribulation Stage of the Immortal Realm being killed.
This showed just how rare they were and the difficulty of finding them. Though they had been hoping to find a Seventh Tribulation Stage immortal Realm Chimeric beast too since it would help them gain credits at an incredible rate.
But that turned out to be harder than they thought. Another goal was to find the Chimera Plants and so far there had been no signs of any. The group didn't mind that though, and had already known that it was going to be a difficult task. As such, they simply focused on the reason what they had come here for.
~THUD~THUD~THUD~
Lin Mu and the others landed on the ground, as Monk Hushu brought them to the location where they had found the buckle.
A rather thick Death Qi boundary could also be seen barely five hundred meters from where they stood, blocking the area.
"This is it," Monk Hushu spoke, showing them the signs of a battle that had happened.
There were several rocks scattered around the area, most of which showed signs of having been crushed by an impact. Though one could also see a large boulder which had a deep cut mark which did not seem to have been made by a beast.
"This was definitely made by a weapon." Lin Mu said, inspecting the damage, particularly the boulder.
"A saber." Ziran guessed, seeing the shape of the cut and its depth. "And a mace." He looked at the other crushed rocks.
"There's a few more areas like this, but we didn't check them in more detail as we kept on getting attacked by the Chimeric Beasts." Elder Hu stated before furrowing his brows. "Though now it looks like they're not around." ~SHUA~
Daoist Chu checked the Chimera Radar and saw the lack of markers around them. "They're far." Daoist Chu spoke. "Maybe on the other end of the Death Qi boundary." He added.
"Considering the thickness of the Death Qi boundary, perhaps they moved to the other side where the thickness is less." Lin Mu guessed. "If we are to find more traces, perhaps we should look there." He suggested.
"Yes, that should work." Lady Kang was in agreement.
Lin Mu did one last sweep of the area to see if they missed anything before moving to the sky.
~WHOOSH~
Reaching the top of the Death Qi boundary that was about six hundred meters tall, they observed the area beyond it. Here, a set of hills were scattered along with undulating ground.
"Hmm… sure enough, there was someone here." Lin Mu muttered as his eyes spotted something.
"Where?" Crown Prince Feng Shun asked.
Lin Mu used his immortal sense and spread it as far as he could, scanning everything that was within its scope. But he couldn't find anything suspicious.
'Strange… there should have been some signs of the Chimeric beasts at least.' He thought before activating his Spatial Perception.
~SHUA~
And sure enough, a few seconds later, he found something.
"There," Lin Mu pointed to a specific spot among the hills. "There's a cave there." "Let's go!" Seeing that, they directly sped over and reached the spot.
The cave wasn't built into the side of a hill, but rather into the elevated ground a few meters from it. This allowed the cave to be hidden better by being camouflaged against the ground and on the side of the hill.
"This isn't a natural cave." Qiao De said, seeing the perfect edges of the cave. "You saw this from that far?" he turned to look at Lin Mu.
"I used my Spatial Skills." Lin Mu stated. "This place has a good isolating array." He added. "Really?" The Crown Prince and the others looked around, sensing nothing.
