CHAPTER 2244  CLEARING THE TOADS

Section after section of Toad Plant Hybrid Chimeric beasts started to die as the pine trees shredded through their flesh.

The credits continued to increase on Lin Mu's green band steadily and he could see that it was a mostly linear increase with little to no jumps.

'Only a few Third Tribulation Stage Immortal realm Chimeric beasts.' Lin Mu narrowed his eyes, seeing the points. 'Can the twins smell out the stronger ones?' he wondered before asking them.

"We can't sense their cultivation base from smell." Xiao Yan replied.

"Ah, that's a shame." Lin Mu said. "But it's still good that you can seek them out. It doesn't take much to hunt them anyway." He added.

To compensate for it, Lin Mu simply swung out several times more, creating more and more Yellow Metal Pine trees and continued his slaughter.

In about half an hour or so, Lin Mu had cleared out the area and obtained ten million more credits from it, taking his total to roughly fifty-five million.

~SHUA~SHUA~

With the toads dead, the Twins quickly swept over the area and consumed all that they could.

"Where do we go next?" Lin Mu asked the twins.

~sniff~

The smelled the air for a few seconds and couldn't pick up on anything. "We need to wander more." Xiao Yin said.

"Alright." Lin Mu nodded his head and flew to more areas with them.

This time it took him about an hour as the Death Qi boundary seemed to have shifted some time earlier, driving the Toad Plant Hybrid Chimeric Beasts away.

"There's a lot of thick boundaries here… It must have shifted not long ago." Lin Mu muttered to himself.

Still, it meant that there was a decent chance there was another swarm of them nearby.

~HISS~

And sure enough, the twins quickly picked up on one such trace.

"There!" Xiao Yang darted towards the left and Lin Mu followed after with the other twin.

In just a minute, they reached another lake that was smaller than the previous one. "Huh…" Lin Mu looked at the scene with slight amusement. "Talk about being packed like Sardines…" he observed the area dense with Toad Plant Hybrid Chimeric beasts.

The area was less than a kilometer wide, but its length was just two hundred meters or so. And inside this, Lin Mu could sense at least a thousand Chimeric Beasts. They were packed almost side to side due to the Death Qi boundary having trapped them here.

All sides of it were thick, thus Lin Mu knew they had moved here just recently and gotten trapped with then we boundaries.

"Unlucky for them, lucky for us," Lin Mu said as he raised Afternoon Pine and gathered Qi into the sword, wishing to end them all at once.

After a minute of 'charging' Lin Mu stabbed down from the sky.

~WOONG~

A large sword imprint formed around Afternoon Pine that was glowing in a bright yellow light. The Sword Imprint stabbed down, following Lin Mu's action, and 'pressed' down upon the packed toads.

~SHING~SHING~SHING~SHING~SHING~SHING~

Hundreds of individual sword imprints spread out from the large sword imprint, stabbing into the Toad Plant Hybrid Chimeric beasts at the same time. A 'single' stab multiples into hundreds, thereby ending the lives of all the Chimeric Beasts in the area.

~SHUA~

Lin Mu then saw his credits jump by about one and a half million.

"One and a half million in a minute… If I can somehow keep this output indefinitely, it'll only take me a little under seventeen hours to gather the needed billion credits." Lin Mu calculated.

He did know this was just a theoretical situation, and it was certainly not possible to get an output this high.

~SHUA~

With all the toads killed, the twins began this work and were done soon too.

"To the next area." Lin Mu and the twins wandered more, finding new areas with the toad Chimeric beasts.

They did this for about an entire day, by the need of which they had managed to clear out eight more areas. In it all, Lin Mu managed to gain a grand total of thirty million more credits!

~huu~

Lin Mu hovered in the air as he glanced at the number that had risen rather quickly.

"Eighty Seven Million Credits." Lin Mu looked at the astonishing number that had seemed almost underivable to him before.

When they had first started, he had never thought he would have gathered this many credits this early.

'Almost Nine percent of the goal accumulated.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

The number thrilled him and motivated him to hunt more. He was even willing to do so, but he soon received a message that made him halt.

~shua~

Lin Mu held the jade slip and saw that it was the Crown Prince, Feng Shun message him.

"We're done with our hunt, how's your progress in finding the Three Colored Dazzling Mud Lotus? Any luck?" Crown Prince Feng Shun questioned. "It's fine even if you didn't find one right now, we can regroup and search for it." He added.

"It's all good. I found it," Lin Mu answered.

"Great!" Crown Prince Feng Shun replied. "Crown Princess Shang will be happy to hear that." "I'll be there soon." Lin Mu replied and put the Jade Slip away.

"Are we done?" Xiao Yang asked.

"Should we go back to the Sleepscape?" Xiao Yin asked.

"Hmm… Just stay here. It's a better environment for you to gather Qi anyway." Lin Mu decided to let the twins stay with him.

"YAY!" The twins said with excitement and wrapped around his arms in a hug.

Letting them stay like that, he quickly flew to the area that Crown Prince and the rest of the group were present. He had already gotten their coordinates before and knew that they were out of the area now.

Considering that Lin Mu had come to the other side of the lake area, he had quite some distance to cross.
