CHAPTER 2232  HIGHER CREDITS

It had taken the Crown Prince less than an hour to kill all the Chimeric Beasts, but the return from it was much better than he had thought. "11,400,000." He read the number.

"What?" Daoist Chu said in surprise. Têxt belongs to .

"Isn't that higher than what Daoist Mu Lin got?" the others were confused too.

"It does seem unusual." Crown Prince Feng Shun furrowed his brows while Lin Mu tried to think of a reason.

"I killed many more, but the number was barely a bit over three million… those were stronger beasts too." Lin Mu muttered to himself.

"The credits Crown Prince Feng Shun got are about three times the ones you got, despite it being from a lower amount of beasts." Lady Kang was wondering what went wrong.

 'The number of beasts here was just 20% of the original swarm I killed… so if the amount I got was in a ratio of this I should have had at least… twenty five times that… seventy five million.' Lin Mu calculated, feeling a bit wrong. "There is definitely something different that happened here." He was now sure of it.

The group thought about it for a bit before Qiao De realized something.

"The only difference between back and then would be that we visited the Offering Hall and now have these Green Bands with us," Qiao De stated.

Hearing that, the group now became sure of it.

"So the Green Bands do have benefits to it…" Crown Prince Feng Shun looked at his wrist. "But why would there be such a condition in the first place?" he found it a bit overreaching and unnecessary.

"It is hard to say what went through the minds of the celestial that set the condition." Ziran spoke. "But there must be a good enough reason for it." He added.

"Hmm… Perhaps the cost of it all." Elder Hu muttered after thinking for a bit. "This place underwent great tragedy and its denizens paid a great price for it to reach its state. The Offering halls were built by the Sacred Tear Tribe and as such, one must know about their suffering for one to be deserving of the rewards." He gave his opinion.

Hearing that the group couldn't help but be in thought.

"Elder Hu is right. There were murals there for a reason and since we were able to enter and pass all the trials, it meant that at least one person among those chosen was supposed to be able to read the Shamanic Script of the Demonic Tribes." Lin Mu elaborated. "There is also the chance that they considered us splitting up." Lady Kang stated. "After all, the murals did say there were more Offering Halls spread across the entire Spatial Plane." She reminded.

"True." Crown Prince Feng Shun and Daoist Chu realized something. "There is was always a chance that we had split up for one reason or the other and stumbled onto these Offering halls."

"There is also no guarantee we would have landed where we did if not for all our efforts." Monk Hushu stated. "We might have landed on some other side of the Spatial Plane and perhaps discovered an Offering Hall there too." He reckoned.

"That does make sense." Lady Kang was in agreement, too. "Only those that had visited the Offering halls and obtained the Green bands would have been qualified enough to get the full potential credits from the foes that they eliminated." She added.

"At least this is good news for us. It will significantly help us improve our rate of hunting and obtaining more credits." Qiao De was the happiest of them all.

"Indeed. Now it doesn't seem like obtaining the Immortal Paragon Ring is out of reach for us." He said, raising their spirits.

Lin Mu too felt better, thinking that he'll be able to get the Heaven Silencing Seal.

'It might take longer than others, but I'll certainly get it now that I'm here.' He said to himself.

Having learned all this, the group was reinvigorated and was ready to hunt more.

"Alright, let's head to the next swarm." Crown Prince Feng Shun decided.

The next direction they decided to head towards was the south, since that's where the second smallest swarm of Chimeric beast seemed to be.

This was about forty percent of the size of the original swarm that Lin Mu had killed, though this one didn't have any Auroch Beasts from what the others said.

It took the group about an hour to reach there though as the Death Qi boundaries seemed to be shifting in the area, causing gusts of Baleful Qi to blow.

"This is gonna be a bit of a bother when we fly." Lin Mu said, as he dodged the sharp gale of the Baleful Qi.

While he wouldn't be hurt as much, it would still be troublesome to deal with.

After all, why would one get hit when it could be avoided?

"Yeah, the Baleful Qi is also a lot violent and is influenced by the shift in the Death Qi boundary." Crown Prince Feng Shun stated. "Though the gusts seem to be short-lived and dissipate after some time. We only need to go around for a short time and they'll be no problem." He said, having navigated a few of them earlier in this area.

He had been the one to go in this area, thus knew a bit more about it.

~WHOOSH~

A few such gusts clashed in the skies, bringing forth currents that could easily bring down bird beasts. But the Immortals had better control, not to mention Crown Prince Feng Shun could use his own Wind Qi to help them fly better if the winds were sapping their momentum.

With a little extra effort, the group soon got past the short lived obstacle and arrived in the next area of the hunt.

~WHISTLE~

Qiao De's eyes lit up with a hint of desire as he glanced at the swarm of Chimeric beasts.

"That's a lot of credits in our future I see."
