Chapter 2285 Change In Chimeric Beasts


    Little Shrubby rushed through the empty expanse of the Spatial ne without an obstacle.


    The clearance of the Chimeric Beasts also made it easier for them and the Death Qi boundaries that they were now returning wasn''t much to stop them. It took them an hour before they finally encountered the first Chimeric Beast. "Our first Chimeric Beast after more than a year." Lin Mu spoke. "Who wants to do the honors?" he asked.


    "I''ll do it." Qiao De was quite eager after all and jumped at the opportunity.


    ~BIHIHIHIHI~


    The Chimeric Beast was amon Auroch Chimeric Beast, but was slightly smaller body than usual. The energy fluctuationsing from it were also around the First Tribtion Stage of the Immortal realm. It let out a cry upon seeing the group and was ready to attack them. Unfortunately for it, Qiao De was faster.


    "Let''s get some credits!" Qiao De threw out a spear that tore through the air and stuck the Chimeric Beast through though the side of its head and skewered it to the ground. "There we go!" the man was pleased by the attack.


    ~SLICK~


    But he didn''t expect that the Auroch Chimeric beast had different ns. It pulled out its head as the dark green blood dripped down the spear''s shaft as well as the beast''s neck. No sign of pain could be seen in its ck eyes and they merely stared at Qiao De as a prey.


    ~BIHI~


    A short cry was let out by the Auroch Chimeric Beast before it suddenly charged at Qiao De. Its aura also spread at the same time and could be felt by everyone. "It''s not the same." Lin Mu narrowed his eyes upon feeling the aura.


    "I can feel the Death Qi in it." Crown Prince Feng Shun said as he spread his immortal sense. "Wait… it''s also getting stronger?" he realized.


    The others sensed it too and realized that the beast''s cultivation base seemed to have increased by one stage!


    It was now as strong as a Second Tribtion Stage of the Immortal realm.


    "That is certainly not normal…" Daoist Chu said a frown appearing on his face.


    "Amithabha, this does not bode well." Monk Hushu agreed.


    "End it, Qiao De." Ziran said. "We have to see if others are like this too." He added.


    "Sure." Qiao De intended to do the same anyway and withdrew the spear that flew back into his hands.


    ~WHOOSH~


    Heunched the spear again, and this time it skewered the Auroch Chimeric Beast from the front of his head all the way to the base of its tail.


    ~SPLAT~


    And that wasn''t all as a Qi skill was executed by the spear releasing long whip like energy streaks, that tore out of the beast''s body.


    Blood was sttered everywhere, and the Auroch Chimeric Beast was finally killed.


    ~SHUA~


    The green band on Qiao De''s wrist lit up and the number rose.


    "One thousand credits." Qiao De saw the increase. "The credits seem to match the same as before." "Hmm… So that''s consistent… But we still need to see if this applies to all the Auroch Chimeric Beasts." Lin Mu said, having a hunch that it was certainly going to be different.


    From all that Xukong had told him about the Chimeric Seed and the nt that would be born from it, there was no telling what kind of surprises awaited everyone of them. Even if they could kill the Chimeric Beasts now, it didn''t mean that it would always be the case.


    They might be able to handle the surprise with a weaker beast like this, but if it was a stronger one, there was no telling how vast of a difference it could bring. Lin Mu could already think of a few scenarios and nned for them.


    "We''ll have to find more of the Chimeric beasts." Lin Mu stated. "Keep your senses alert. We''ll seek them out."


    The others were in agreement, since they all wanted to gather more credits as well as learn more about their foes here now.


    ~WHOOSH~


    Little Shrubby sped up and followed Lin Mu''s directions to find the next Chimeric Beast.


    It was another Auroch Chimeric Beast that was at the First Tribtion Stage of the Immortal realm.


    "Let''s see what this one is like." Crown Prince Feng Shun attached this time.


    ~SHAHA~


    He thrust his palm, sending a strong jet of Wind Elemental Qi that tore through the Auroch Chimeric Beast within a couple seconds. It shredded its body apart with ease, leaving a mess of blood and flesh below.


    Compared to Qiao De, the attack was certainly several notches above and had killed the beast in one go.


    ~SHUA~


    The green band lit up, and showed the points that the Crown Prince had obtained. Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.


    "Hundred?" Crown Prince Feng Shun raised his brows. "Not one thousand… is there a difference between the two Auroch Chimeric Beasts despite being at the same stage?" he wondered.


    "We''ll hunt down a few more to see what''s changed." Lin Mu said and tracked down another one.


    While the Death Qi had faded, the Chimeric Beasts didn''t seem to have returned to their old numbers. Or even if they had, they hadn''t gathered in this area at least. Still, it didn''t take long for Lin Mu and the group to find the next few Chimeric Beasts, all of which they killed.


    In this, they soon realized something.


    "The Auroch Chimeric Beasts seem to change after a near-fatal blow… Their defenses are also a bit higher than before and they''re certainly resilient." Lin Mu analyzed.


    "Yeah, if they manage to survive the lethal blow, they seem to increase in strength all of a sudden." Lady Kang spoke. "It seems to be a new ability." She added.


    "And with the inclusion of Death Qi in their energy, it feels like this has certainly been the change brought upon after the Chimeric Seed was released. These are certainly not the same kind of Chimeric beasts we were used to." Ziran stated.
