Chapter 2299  Plenty To Hunt

So far, they had not seen any of the Death Qi boundaries that had reacted like this, thus the situation was a bit of confusion.

"It looks like it did." Lin Mu replied.

~SPLASH~

But as he watched, a few more such whip like appendages rose from the Death Qi boundary and slapped the air. "No, wait." Seeing that, Lin Mu was intrigued. ~WHOOSH~

He used Bending Will Fists and created a small gust of wind that pa.s.sed by the proximity of the boundary.

~SPLASH~

As soon as it did, the Death Qi boundary reacted and another whip lashed out. But of course it only stuck air, since there was nothing there in the first place.

"It doesn"t seem to be targeting us intentionally." Lin Mu replied. "Instead, it is targeting any kind of movement. It cannot differentiate." He added.

"Is this what happens when the Death Qi boundary becomes bigger?" Ziran wondered. "Or rather, it"s more accurate to call it a Death Qi wall now." He stated.

"That"s true." Daoist Chu nodded. "It is far too big to be called just a boundary." "We should see how thick it is. I have a feeling it is not the same as before." Lady Kang chimed in.

"Very well." Lin Mu agreed and the group rose up while keeping their distance from the wall.

The wall was a thousand meters tall and once they exceeded its height, they finally saw how thick it was.

"At least… a hundred meters thick." Lin Mu estimated. "This is several times thicker than any Death Qi boundary we"ve seen." "Why would something like this happen?" Min Ju asked. "Did the arrays change, too?" "That seems likely." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied. "Considering the fact that the Death Qi boundaries have been made to restrain the Chimeric Beasts, which have now grown stronger, it would also make sense that the arrays would strengthen the boundaries too." He a.n.a.lyzed.

"Crown Prince Feng Shun is right." Lin Mu interjected. "The proof is right there," he said while pointing to the distance beyond the wall.

~Rumble~

A faint rumbling sound was heard, as if thunder clouds were approaching from the distance. The source was as dark as thunderclouds too and seemed to fill the ground for a large range.

"Are those… Chimeric beasts?" Qiao De narrowed his eyes.

"Looks like we now know where all the Chimeric Beasts that were produced by the Chimera Plant went." Ziran said as he got ready to fight, his palms glowing in a green light.

"This Death Qi wall was probably made to separate them out." Lin Mu spoke, as he took out Afternoon Pine and Ocean Raker. "They are also stronger than the ones we saw at the Chimera Plant… these have been growing for a while." He added.

"Well, time to reap some credits." Crown Prince Feng Shun chuckled as a halberd condensed from wind elemental immortal Qi formed in his hands.

"We"ll have plenty for all of us this time." Lady Kang said, small stars forming at her finger tips.

Qiao De was also quite excited and took out eight javelins from his storage, letting them float behind his back. To him, the incoming Chimeric Beasts may as well be a free coin pouch one found while on the way to shop.

~ROAR~

~SCREECH~

~KREEE~

Various cries were heard as the Chimeric beasts neared. And when they were about five hundred meters from the group, several skills were activated.

"Great Slaughter Pine!" Lin Mu slashed out with Afternoon Pine, sending forth a yellow sword light that burrowed into the ground. "Great Ocean Rake!" he then lifted Ocean Raker up and slashed down straight, releasing a claw shaped blue slash that filled the area with an ocean blue aura that started to churn.

~SHA~SHA~SHA~

Lady Kang send forth fragmenting stars, that burst in the midsts of the swarm of Chimeric Beasts while Qiao De started hurling the javelins at the stronger Chimeric beasts he could spot.

Crown Prince Feng Shun charged in directly and targeted the strongest aura he could feel.

Ziran and Crown Princess Shang on the other hand collaborated, utilizing both their skills in sync to create th.o.r.n.y bushes that broke the march of the Chimeric beasts.

Monk Hushu threw out palm imprints while the Prayer beads hung on his neck. The prayer beads glowed while releasing Buddhist aura that amplified the monk"s skills. Daoist Chu, on the other hand, unleashed a storm of talismans that seemingly rained down on the Chimeric beasts, causing explosions everywhere.

Elder Hu was a lot more straightforwards and charged straight into the swarm, while Min Ju supported him from the back, using several protective and auxiliary skills.

With such an offense, the incoming swarm of Chimeric Beasts suffered a great loss right at the start.

There were tens of millions of beasts in this swarm, showing just how many had been made by the Chimera Plant. It showed them that Lin Mu"s words of the plant being surrounded by a lot of Chimeric Beasts was not wrong.

It was the arrays of the Spatial Plane that had separated them away and kept the sequestered. But now that "trial takers" had arrived in the area, the Chimeric beasts detected them quickly, charging in to attack them.

Lin Mu"s immortal sense swept over the area, checking upon what kinds of Chimeric beasts were present in it.

This time the majority of the cannon fodder were insect Chimeric beasts, ranging from the First Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm to the Third Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm. The ones at the Third Tribulation Stage were mostly the flying maggots and beetles.

But there were also a few large Stick Bug Chimeric Beasts in it that had reached the Fourth Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm.

~PIIII~

Though the strongest in the swarm were still the Griffin Chimeric Beasts that were at the Fifth Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm.

These were personally handled by Crown Prince Feng Shun and Lin Mu, while the rest took care of the "lesser" foes.
