CHAPTER 2243  45 MILLION CREDITS

If someone looked at the area right now, they would think that yellow and blue ribbons were spinning around a top that had been unleashed in the lake.

If one looked at it from the top, it even looked beautiful as one wouldn't be able to make out the blood and gore of the toads with it mixing into the muddy lake. is the owner.

Lin Mu's credits started to increase with the death of every toad.

In about fifteen minutes, all the Toad Plant Chimeric beasts had been killed.

"You can finish eating now, Xiao Yin, Xiao Yang." Lin Mu stated, as he stored the two swords away.

~WHOOSH~

~HISS~ HISS~

The twins waited no more and rushed into the pile of corpses that were floating in the muddy lake. They absorbed all that they could and consumed the Dantians of the toads.

Since the Chimeric beasts had only died recently, they still had their Dantians intact for the most part. Lin Mu had tried to reduce the 'damage' he would inflict on the corpses to ensure they wouldn't be obliterate into a mush.

He also didn't use Sword Intent, as that would have destroyed their Dantians right away. Otherwise, all Lin Mu would have needed to do was use either of the two sword skills.

Both Great Slaughter Pine and Great Ocean Rake would have been enough to kill the entire swarm with it.

~SHUA~

"Hmm… About forty five million credits." Lin Mu looked at the number that was decently high now.

He had expected that it would take them a long time to even reach a number like this. But now that they had the green bands it was faster than expected.

'Though the twins did kill a lot of Chimeric beasts before… if I killed them I should have already hit fifty million perhaps.' Lin Mu calculated how much he had missed and how much more he would need. "Considering the size of the area, and lakes there should be at least twice as many Toads left." He estimated.

He wondered if he should continue hunting or go back to the group first.

"I'll just message them." Lin Mu took out the Jade Slip and contacted the group.

He didn't receive a reply right away though and had to wait a minute.

"Ah! Daoist Mu Lin." The one to respond turned out to be Qiao De.

"What's going on?" Lin Mu asked, feeling that it took them this long to respond and that too Qiao De picked up.

Usually it would be Crown Prince Feng Shun or Daoist Chu that responded.

"Well… we ran into a little trouble." Qiao De replied.

"Trouble? What kind?" Lin Mu furrowed his brows.

"Remember the Griffin like Chimeric beast we talked about?" Qiao De replied.

"Yes?" Lin Mu had an idea appearing in his mind.

"Well, it is now attacking us." Qiao De answered.

"Attacking you all? Do you need help?" Lin Mu questioned with some concern.

"Oh, it's fine." Qiao De responded. "We're handling it right now so you can continue your work." He stated.

"Are you sure?" Lin Mu asked.

"Yeah, it's fine." Qiao De responded. "I think we'll be done by the time you return." He added.

"Alright." Getting that answer, Lin Mu knew he had plenty of time to hunt himself. 'Looks like I can focus on gathering the credits then.' He thought and rose up to the sky.

~WHOOSH~ WHOOSH~

"Where are we going?" Xiao Yang asked, returning to his side.

"Hunting more?" Xiao Yin asked, her eyes still having the glint of excitement.

"Yup!" Lin Mu nodded. "I'll kill them, you eat them." He stated.

"PERFECT!" The twins said in a unison.

Since the others were busy, Lin Mu now had a free reign to hunt.

'If I finish up fast enough, I might even get to kill the Griffin Chimeric beasts later. They are stronger, so should be worth more, compared to these Toads.' Lin Mu thought.

Among the Toad Plant Chimeric Beasts he had killed so far, only three had been at the Fourth Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm. All the others were either third Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm or below.

As such, it reduced the efficiency of hunting by a bit.

'Though if I do find a large enough swarm of Third Tribulation Stage Immortal realm chimeric beasts, I'll still get a lot of credits.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

Since each of them gave about 10,000 credits, a swarm with a thousand such Chimeric beasts would easily net Lin Mu ten million credits. They were weak enough to be killed with a large area attack, thus Lin Mu would be able to earn all that within a few minutes.

~hiss~

"I can smell some there." Xiao Yang alerted Lin Mu.

"Ah yes! You two can search them out faster." Lin Mu's eyes lit up.

"Yes, we can smell them if we're close enough." Xiao Yin nodded. "Though the energy in the air dulls their scents if it's too far." She explained.

"That makes sense." Lin Mu knew the Baleful energies weren't exactly the best for it as they could even affect immortal senses.

While the twins were able to consume, it didn't mean that the energy didn't suppress their other senses. Same as Lin Mu, their immortal sense was reduced too if it was in a high concentration area, while their sense of smell was limited due to the scents getting diluted.

But it was still better than searching for the Chimeric beasts with just naked eyes.

About ten minutes later, Lin Mu and the twins reached another lake with at least ten thousand Toads in it.

"Here we go," Lin Mu raised Afternoon Pine and used its basic skill.

~SHING~

~HUALA~

Yellow metal pine trees grew from the lake and pierced through the Toads around them. It was a fast process as the Toads here were mostly weak. Even a single leaf of the tree was enough to end their lives while a branch skewered tens of them at once.
