CHAPTER 2336  CHIMERA RADAR

With their doubts only increasing, the group soon reached the conclusion that they needed to look into this more and obtain more clues to it all.

"It seems like we'll have to look into the other locations too and see if there are things that reveal more." Crown Prince Feng Shun decided. "That buckle Elder Hu and Monk Hushu found might be a good clue to go off from." He suggested.

"Yes, that might be a good place to explore. We might for more traces of these strangers and what link they have to this Withering Baleful Energy." Lady Kang nodded as well.

"And we have to hunt the Chimeric Beasts too." Qiao De reminded. "Of course." Crown Prince Feng Shun said remembering that they were very close to reaching the required credits.

"We'll hunt the Chimeric Beasts on the way to the Southern location." Lin Mu said. "You should be able to gather enough hopefully and once we've investigated enough, we can return to the Offering Hall and obtain it." He suggested a plan.

"That'll work." Crown Prince Feng Shun nodded. As much as he wished to get the credits right away, he knew this was a more optimum method of doing it. Not only would they be able to obtain more clues, they'll also be gaining more credits along the way. Besides, he didn't mind waiting a bit more to get the Immortal Paragon's ring.

"We won't have many issues with hunting the Chimeric Beasts now." It was now that Daoist Chu chimed in, joy evident in his voice.

The others looked at him and found that he had stopped fiddling with the immortal too. The cube was now floating calmly over the large disk and the runes seemed to be stable too.

"You fixed it?" Lin Mu asked.

"Indeed." Daoist Chu nodded his head. "Looks like that Withering Baleful energy was the reason it was malfunctioning. I made this for isolating Chimeric Qi so it couldn't do the same for the Withering energy and went haywire." He explained.

"I see… how does it work now?" Lin Mu asked, as the shape of the tool was a bit strange.

"Of course, let me demonstrate." Daoist Chu said, and the others looked on with full attention.

He controlled the runes on the disk and the cube, causing them to glow. This glow coated both the components, creating a surface on them. The surface of the disk was pale white while the surface of the cube was black. This created a visible contrast as the tool started to work.

~SHUA~SHUA~SHUA~

Tens of red dots appeared on the surface of the cube and projected thin rays of light onto the white surface of the disk below. These rays moved faintly from time to time and were spread out in an unknown pattern.

Another thing was that the size of the dots was also varying but most of them seemed to be of an equal size.

"Are those… The Chimeric Beasts?" Lin Mu asked after thinking about the functioning of the array.

"Precisely!" Daoist Chu confirmed. "This tracking tool works by sensing the energy signature of the Chimeric beasts which seems to vary based on their cultivation base. I had added multiple samples to improve this tracking ability, but there were often interferences.

But now that I have the sample from the Cyclopean Chimeric Beast which was at the Seventh Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm, it can track a lot better. And as we add more samples, its accuracy will improve more and more." He explained.

"That's really good." Crown Prince Feng Shun praised his companion. "What're you going to call it?" he asked.

"I've named it the Chimera Radar." Daoist Chu answered. "For now, at least… I might think of something else later." He added.

"Haha, this works." Crown Prince Feng Shun chuckled. "Well now, that we have this, we may as well get to hunting now." Ziran said, pointing to one of the dots. "Plus it looks like we have something coming towards us anyways." He stated.

"Oh?" The others glanced at it and indeed found a dot to be moving towards them at a great speed.

"How's the distance scaling on this?" Lin Mu asked, as it was not apparent.

"Uh… I didn't add that," Daoist Chu replied awkwardly. "The radar only shows our position relative to the energy signatures of chimeric beasts." He confessed.

"Why didn't you add that?" Lin Mu wondered with a strange repression.

"I would have to add a Map array, but that would not work without linking it to a constantly updating Map array. But adding something like that to a small tool like this isn't really viable. We'd need a wide range Connecting Formation set and that won't be possible to make in this Spatial Plane." Daoist Chu explained as best as he could. is the owner.

"I see… that does make sense." Lin Mu replied. "I suppose we can just figure it out ourselves. As long as we measure the distance and time needed to reach the beast, we'll know the scale." He stated.

"Yeah, I was intending to do that too." Daoist Chu nodded.

"No use in waiting, then. Let's go see what's heading this way." Crown Prince Feng Shun said and the group quickly got moving.

~WHOOSH~

They didn't ride Little Shrubby though, as they wanted to measure the distance a bit more accurately. But it didn't matter much for them, as they soon encountered their target in just ten minutes.

"That wasn't very far…" Lin Mu said, seeing that they were less than fifty kilometers from the Offering Hall. On The Chimera Radar, this red dot had been barely ten centimeters away. There were more dots around and they had moved as the group shifted, but there were a lot of them that were now clumped around the edges of the disk.

"The total range of visible targets is limited, but it can still show the approximate direction of the other targets." Daoist Chu said after seeing the functioning of his tool.
