CHAPTER 2238 SNACKS FOR THE TWINS AND SECOND LOTUS PLANT
For the twins, toads, frogs, rats, birds and mice were perhaps their favorite snack. This was something instinctively present in them and as such they couldn't help but be excited for it.
~HISS~HISS~
The twins smelled the air that was rank with a variety of energies and scents. But the two were not repelled or bothered by it, for this was nothing to them.
In fact, they were reveling in the scents as it was all food to them in the first place.
The Baleful energies may as well be an ice cream Sundae to them with all the flavored mixed in.
"I want you two to bring the toads away." Lin Mu spoke. "Can you do that?" he asked.
"YES~" The twins replied in unison.
"Good." Lin Mu smiled. "Go!" he said, letting the twins spring forth.
~HISS~HISS~
The presence of the twins was fully exuded once they were some distance from Lin Mu. Their aura rapidly filled the area, as the gaze of two predators loomed over the lake.
The Toad Plant Hybrid Chimeric Beasts within the lake instinctively felt the fear. Just like the twins instinctively liked snacking on toads, the toads too had a fear of them. Even if they were Chimeric beasts and had multiple beasts mixed in them, it didn't mean that the instincts would be totally changed.
And this was without considering the pressure of the twins' bloodline that would stun most beasts by a mere look.
The twins glared at the prey below, as the toads started to stir within the lake.
~TRRR~TRRR~TRRR~
Their trilling cries were a bit different this time, as one could sense some apprehension within it.
"They're not coming." Xiao Yang spoke to his sister.
"So we go to them." Xiao Yin said as she opened her mouth wide and dived down!
~SAAAAAAAA~
Xiao Yang followed behind her, as the two turned into dual black and white ribbons.
~SPLASH~
Their entry into the muddy water was very impactful as a large wave was spread. For the twins, the Muddy water full of Murkwater Qi may as well be a hot spring. It was comfortable for them as they let opened their mouths and consumed the Murkwater Qi, purifying and digesting it within their bodies into Yin and Yang Qi.
Their 'intrusion' had been more than enough to cause the Toad Plant Hybrid Chimeric Beasts to be forced to act and they all rushed towards the position of the twins.
Lin Mu was moving around the area with blink at this time, as he couldn't stay still and let himself be sensed by them. But he was observing the Toads with his spatial perception and saw the entire group moving away.
Thankfully the Dazzling Mud Lotus seemed to be unaffected by it, and its roots and shoots automatically moved to allow the toads to swim.
It showed just how well the Dazzling Mud Lotus had adapted to this habitat.
'Hmm… is it perhaps due to the presence of the Toad Plant Hybrid Chimeric Beasts that the Dazzling Mud Lotus has managed to develop all the way to the Three Colored variant?' Lin Mu wondered after seeing this.
It was a likely thing now that Lin Mu was thinking about it. From what the Crown Princess had told him, it was an almost impossible task to grow a Three Colored Dazzling Mud Lotus. She had been yearning to get a cutting or seeds so that she could learn how to grow it herself. But now it seemed like there could be another factor that had contributed to it all.
'Does the Murkwater Qi and the presence of the Toad Plant Hybrid Chimeric Beasts somehow contribute to it?' Lin Mu noted it in his mind, intending to inform the woman.
He had faith that she'll be able to figure out the rest, as this was her path after all. Lin Mu might only need to give her a hint and she should be on her way. owns this.
'I also have that seed she gave me… It has been unchanged too.' Lin Mu remembered the extra reward that had been given to him.
Lin Mu had no luck with it so far even though he had looked through a lot of books. Even Xukong had been unable to recognize what it was at its current state.
After all plants were very adaptive and deceptive. They could easily breed with other plants and make new variants or entire species that could be impossible to identify.
As such, it wasn't unusual for Xukong to at a loss with it. Though he did say that if the seed managed to germinate, he'll most likely identify it from its unique signature.
One thing was sure, that it was an Immortal seed, thus it would have a very unique aura and Qi signature once it sprouted.
Thinking of this, Lin Mu quickly found the right opportunity to dive down as all the Toads had left the area.
Phase!
~SHUA~
Lin Mu easily sank into the lake without an issue and tracked down the location where the Dazzling Mud Lotus was anchored too.
This time though, the depth was more taking Lin Mu longer to find. But once he did, the work was easy.
~SHING~
Afternoon Pine quickly severed the rock that the roots were anchored to and Lin Mu stored it in the ring along with plenty of the muddy water so that it could have a suitable place to stay in.
~WHOOSH~
Lin Mu rose back into the sky and took a look at the new arrival in the ring.
'This one is certainly a lot bigger and more active.' Lin Mu thought seeing all of its green shoots, and leaves.
Lin Mu checked if there were any flower buds on it that he might have missed, but there were none.
'So it hasn't reached the stage either… this isn't the one that Crown Princess Shang saw either.' Lin Mu now knew there was another Dazzling Mud Lotus somewhere and his search was not over yet.
