Chapter 2355 Spiky Chimeric Beast And Impaled Clue


    The group had gathered at the third Offering Hall now, and was discussing their finds, having finished buying the things they wished for.


    "Nothing." Crown Prince Feng Shun was the first to report.


    "Hmm… Same for me." Ziran said before the others spoke too.


    "I didn''t find anything other than more Chimeric beasts." Daoist Chu stated. "Though, I think there is a rather strong Chimeric Beast nearby." He added.


    "How strong?" Crown Princess Shang questioned.


    "Considering the size of the marker on the Chimera Radar, at least a Sixth Tribtion Stage Immortal Realm beast." Daoist Chu stated. The man had been adding more samples of Chimeric Beasts to the radar, thus the uracy had be a lot better. Now not only did the Chimera Radar show the positions of Chimeric Beasts, it could urately filter them based on cultivation base as well as look for specific ones. "Well, if it''s nearby we may as well kill it," Crown Prince Feng Shun stated. "That''s another ten million credits for one of us." "Follow me then!" Daoist Chu said as he took to the skies.


    ~WHOOSH~WHOOSH~WHOOSH~


    The others followed, and after about an hour, they reached the location of the Chimeric Beast. "Huh… that''s a new one." Ziran said, looking at the Chimeric Beast''s body.


    It was like a mix between a porcupine and a bear. Its entire back had thousands of spikes, while its belly was full of ck fur.


    The Chimeric Beast was currently sleeping and was the perfect target for the group.


    "Who''s turn is it now?" Lin Mu asked.


    "Mine." Ziran said. "I''ll need some help though, I can''t kill it in one hit." He added.


    "Of course." Crown prince Feng Shun said as he raised his hand, condensing a thunderbolt on it.


    They had done this hundreds of times by now and had be used to the process.


    ~BZZT~


    The thunderbolt from Crown Prince Feng Shun struck the Porcupine Bear Hybrid Chimeric Beast and paralyzed it, while Lin Mu cut off its legs and Lady Kang exploded its arms.


    Elder Hu punched it square on its chest, causing it to be flipped on its back and get stuck on the ground due to its spiky back.


    "ROAR!" The Chimeric beast got little time to scream before Ziran thrust his arm that was covered in vines.


    The vines were covered in tiny thorns that all moved like fine drills, while the vines moved in a spiral too.


    ~SPLAT~


    The chimeric beast''s chest was pierced through, while the vines spread and ripped its insides soon after.


    ~SHUA~


    A few secondster, its life was ended and the credits were granted to Ziran.


    "There we go," Lin Mu said, putting his swords away, seeing that the beast was truly dead.


    "We''re getting faster now." Daoist Chumented. "We sure are." Qiao De agreed.


    ~SNIFF~


    It was now that Little Shrubby smelled something.


    "On its back… there''s something stuck with the smell of human blood." He informed Lin Mu right away.


    "Oh?" Lin Mu narrowed his eyes and followed Little Shrubby''s line of sight.


    "What is it?" the others saw Lin Mu approaching the Chimeric Beast.


    "Just a minute," Lin Mu said as he held the corpse.


    ~HUA~


    He pulled out the Chimeric Beast from the ground and flipped it over.


    ~THUD~


    Lin Mu let go of it, causing it tond with a loud thud before he quickly checked the back of the dead Chimeric Beast.


    "There." Lin Mu scanned the beast''s back and quickly found something stuck at the base of one of the spines.


    "Is that…" the others saw it too and narrowed their eyes.


    ~SHICK~


    Lin Mu pulled out the object, which was part of a human torso!


    It had been embedded deeply in the spike and contained what looked like the left arm of a persona. Most of the chest part had rotted away, and if not for the robes that held it in ce, the arm might have fallen away before too.


    "Someone was unfortunate." Qiao De couldn''t help but say seeing the state of the arm. It had been impaled at some point and had been stuck there for a long time. "This is at least seven or eight months old." Lin Mu said after judging the state of deterioration. The flesh of an immortal didn''t rot as fast as mortals, thus it had managed tost this long. Not to mention, it wasn''t buried, thus the dposition had been slower than usual.


    "Looks like the Chimeric beast was unable to extract it from its back." Ziran could tell by seeing the physique of the creature.


    It wouldn''t exactly be able to ''scratch'' its back.


    "Wait, what''s that under it?" It was now that Elder Hu noticed something.


    He lifted the edge of the tattered robe and revealed a silver patch underneath it.


    "Huh?" Lin Mu observed it and found it to be a lot different from the rest of the robe''s remains.


    The robe''s ck color could be made out despite the bloodstains on it, thus the silver patch stood out easily. Even with the blood and rotten flesh tainting it, the color was hard to miss.


    Lin Mu wiped it, revealing its proper appearance.


    The silver patch had a unique texture of ovepping waves. "This isn''t a fabric." Lin Mu said after feeling it.


    Ziran touched it too and quickly figured out what it was. "Fish skin.. Strange choice." "Is that a defensive armor of some kind?" Qiao De asked, having knowledge of soft inner armors that were used by cultivators.


    Lin Mu scanned the patch, but didn''t sense any traces of runes on it.


    "No runes, but they might have been erased over time." Lin Mu replied. "Though considering its position, this could have been part of an armor." He added.


    Lady Kang watched it closely, feeling that it wasn''t as normal as it looked.


    "Wait, a second…" Crown Princess Shang thought of something and took out a small bottle from her storage.


    ~POP~


    Opening its cork, she dripped a single drop of a clear fluid onto the fish skin patch. Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
