Chapter 2233 Second Hunt

With the swarm in their sights, the group didn't spend much time waiting and began their hunt.

This time though, they hunted them all together, as there was a higher number of them. Plus now that they knew that the gain from the Green Bands was higher, they wouldn't have to worry too much about gathering the needed credits.

They might take some time, but they didn't mind it as much.

Plus it was way faster to kill the Chimeric Beasts in a group as they could support each other and ensure that no one got into a bad situation or got injured in anyway.

Not to mention, their pace of hunting was faster too and sure enough, it barely took them forty minutes to wipe out the entire swarm despite it being larger.

They were also mostly insects type Chimeric Beasts, so it was better for them to hunt them together. These beasts had varied abilities, including a wide scope of vision from the maggots as well as the corrosive fluid they spewed.

Then there were the beetles with scorpion stingers that could fly around at a blinding pace. These were a pain at first, since they could actually avoid several attacks. Not to mention they were mostly at the Third Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm, but their speed allowed them to move twice as fast.

And with how many of them there were in a group, they could even create illusory images that could make one miss. One had to keep track of them with their immortal sense to make sure that they were hitting the correct foe.

Compared to those, the stick bug like insect chimeric beasts were relatively easier to kill and no one had any problems.

But the strongest were none other than the Mantis like Chimeric beasts. They were also at the Fourth Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm and had swift and sharp attacks.

Their claws were actually much stronger than they thought and could resist many attacks. Lin Mu remembered the previous owner of Ocean Raker having fought one of them and thus tested them out himself.

And sure enough, if he didn't use his Sword Intent to amplify the swords, his attacks actually managed to be blocked by the claws of the mantis Chimeric beasts. Even extra Metal Immortal Qi was not enough to break their claws.

But once he used his Sword Intent, the claws became the same as some cheap iron and he managed to cut through them.

The others took a different approach though, with Crown Prince Feng Shun simply zapping them with lightning bolts, since they actually couldn't resist it well. Their carapace could resist the Wind Telemann Immortal Qi but the same was not the case for lightning.

Lady Kang's Fragmenting Stars were also quite effective against most of the insect type Chimeric beasts as the stellar Qi was on a different level, being able to pierce through their defenses.

By the time they were all done, they had gotten a good idea about how the Insect Chimeric Beasts were like and how to deal with them better.

~phew~

"That was some a hunt." Qiao De said, looking at his credits. "3,760,000… Just need about a quarter billion more and I can get most of the things I want." He chuckled.

He had hunted around thirty thousand Chimeric Beasts himself, but had also managed to kill one of the Fourth Tribulation Stage Immortal Realm Chimeric beasts that looked like a mantis.

"You got more than me." Ziran said, seeing his own points that were lower than two million. "Well, you should have targeted the high value ones. Haha." Qiao De laughed.

"With Crown Prince Feng Shun, Lady Kang and Daoist Mu Lin here? I doubt I can match their pace." Ziran didn't mind it much in reality. Though Qiao De knew his words were correct.

"Ah yeah.. Matching their pace is a different thing." He said, looking at the trio that had killed around two thirds of the Chimeric beasts on their own.

Their attacks were all those that could break through the carapace defenses of the Insect Chimeric Beasts, thus they had an easier time. Not to mention their cultivation bases were also the highest here, with the exception of Lin Mu.

But no one in the group judged him by his cultivation base for his abilities alone placed him above them.

In fact, they couldn't help but think that it was a good way to fool others. Since Lin Mu genuinely had a lower Qi cultivation base, it could give a weak impression on others. And since his body cultivation would be missed due to others focusing on his Qi cultivation, they would have an even worse time.

Plus, they wouldn't even think that he was using some method to hide it, since the cultivation base would be in full display.

After all, a Third Tribulation Stage Immortal Realm cultivation was decent, but was nowhere enough to be considered as an 'expert' in the Immortal world. At the very least, one would have to be Fifth Tribulation Stage Immortal to be taken truly seriously.

But Lin Mu could very well match against them all, thus it was all meaningless.

"So who got the most credits?" Daoist Chu asked, having checked his points. "Daoist Mu Lin?" "Six and a half million." Lin Mu replied before looking at Lady Kang.

"Six and a quarter million." The woman replied. "Oh! Lady Kang was very close." Daoist Chu was surprised. "How about you Crown Prince?" he asked the last person.

In response, Crown Prince Feng Shun smiled. "Why don't you take a look?" he said, showing them the number.

"Damn… Nine million and eight hundred thousand." Daoist Chu couldn't help but be shocked.

"Hey! How'd you get that high?" Crown Princess Shang asked.

"Lightning is very, very good. I can hit multiple and keep on chaining them, haha!" Crown Prince Feng Shun laughed.

"No fair!" Crown Princess Shang pouted. "I should've studied the Lightning Dao too."
