Chapter 2245  The Stunned Crown Princess

It ended up taking Lin Mu about three hours to travel, during which he kept an eye out for any stray Chimeric beast to kill.

The twins were also smelling for scents at all times and pointed out whenever there was something nearby. This made sure that there were no missed targets, and he had really cleared most of the area out.

There were probably more Toad Plant Chimeric Beasts left in the lake area, but Lin Mu would have to search a lot more for them. The area was simply too broad and unless one was close enough, it was hard to even tell if there were Toads there even with the scent tracking of the twins.

Still, the journey back was fruitful enough for Lin Mu and ended up raising his credits by another two hundred thousand. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"There they are," Lin Mu spotted the familiar faces in the distance.

They were gathered around a lot of corpses that were bigger than most chimeric beasts they had encountered.

'So these are the Griffin Chimeric beasts.' Lin Mu saw the appearance.

They had the body of a lion, the head of an eagle and feathers that were metallic and scaly in texture.

Normal griffins could already be considered as hybrid beasts in a way, but their Chimeric form seemed to have been modified to have more properties. On the surface though, Lin Mu could only see the change in their feathers and the jagged teeth that jutted out of its beak.

In a way it looked like someone had made the normal griffins more 'ugly' as their appearance was now far too jarring.

'Normal griffins are smart and considered as excellent for taming. They are great mounts and are also good for fighting alongside. But this one… while it strength is probably higher, its intelligence has been wiped out.' Lin Mu reckoned seeing the corpse.

~SHUA~

His immortal sense quickly scanned the beast and checked the traces of Qi for its cultivation base.

'Fifth Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm.' Lin Mu noted. 'The strongest we've killed so far.' He wondered if the others were like this too.

There were a total of eight griffin chimeric beasts here and they were slightly different in sizes. The one that Lin Mu had checked was the largest, and had the most 'intact' corpse. The others were a lot more injured, with two of them missing their wings, and another two missing their entire heads.

It was clear the battle had not been a casual one.

"Daoist Mu Lin," Crown Prince Feng Shun greeted upon his landing.

The others turned their heads and saw their final companion return. Crown Princess Shang's face bloomed with an eager smile, showing that she had been waiting for him.

Lady Kang looked at him too, noticing the different Immortal Qi fluctuations that were coming from him.

'Hmm? What's that?' She wondered before noticing that the source was Lin Mu's arms.

There she saw two 'ribbons' wrapped on his arms, one black and one white. Seeing that, she soon realized what the immortal Qi fluctuation was.

'Ah, his tamed snake beasts. Was he hunting with them?' She wondered.

And just a second later, she saw two small heads turn towards her. Their gemstone like eyes looked at her curiously.

'She feels different.' Xiao Yin spoke to her brother through their connection.

'She smells different too.' Xiao Yang replied. 'She doesn't smell like food though,' Xiao Yin stated. 'Yes… She smells nice… like a flower?' Xiao Yang agreed.

'But she isn't a plant, is she?' Xiao Yin wondered. 'Rather than her, the other female smells more like flowers.' She turned her head towards the Crown Princess.

The serpents' gaze made the Crown Princess halt for a moment, as if there was a faint pressure in it.

The others saw the sudden stopping of the Crown Princess and noticed that two serpents were now 'glaring' at her.

"Easy, you two." Lin Mu said lightly.

~hiss~

Xiao Yin and Xiao Yang reeled in their inquisitive gazes, making the Crown Princess less tense.

"Whoa… what was that?" Crown Princess Shang couldn't help but say. "It was almost as if I were a mouse being caught in the eyes of a snake." She muttered, feeling a little surprised.

"It won't be too off." Crown Prince Feng Shun chuckled. "I take it you had some gains too? Other than the Three Colored Dazzling Mud Lotus, of course." He asked.

"I did." Lin Mu nodded. "All of us." He said, making the twins hiss in response.

"Well, that's good. We had some gains too… though it was a bit tiresome." Crown Prince Feng Shun said, looking at the griffins.

"Tough fight?" Lin Mu asked. "With all of you though, it shouldn't have been that hard, right?" "A bit tough. The abilities of the griffins are a bit of a pain. Not only can they fly really well, they are also resistant to quite a bit," Crown prince Feng Shun answered. "Their feathers are harder to get through than I expected." He added.

"They'll be perfect for refinement and use in armors, though." Qiao De chimed in.

"Oh?" Lin Mu was now interested in them, too.

"Enough of that. Show me the lotus first." Crown Princess Shang couldn't wait anymore. "Pretty please?"

"Alright, but do you have something to keep them?" Lin Mu replied.

Hearing that, though Crown Princess titled her head. "T-them?" She thought she had heard it wrong.

The others heard it too and raised their brows.

"Did you… Get somehow get… Two of them?" Lady Kang asked.

"Yeah, I did." Lin Mu nodded. "I got three plants." He replied.

"Wait! THREE PLANTS!? AS IN WHOLE!?" Crown Princess Shang was shouting at this point.

"Yes, they're intact and alive." Lin Mu replied. "I've kept them contained in my spatial ring, so if you want them, you'll either need a similar Spatial container or probably chop the plants up." He added.

"W… What?" Crown Princess Shang's ears couldn't believe this.
