With more experintation, Lin Mu and the group soon understood the new ability of the Chiric beasts.
Lin Mu terd it as a Berserk ability, which was actually sothing several beasts could have. Even human cultivators had skills like that, and it could boost the power of a cultivator in a pinch. Of course, the increase was varied and in the case of beasts, it was usually much stronger.
The increase in an entire stage was not seen often for cultivators at least, but for beasts it was possible. Even Little Shrubby's Seven Beasts Burst innate skill was of the sa type, and the increase in power brought by it was even higher.
But similarly, it had a backlash when the skill ended.
Once Lin Mu and the others had figured this out, they intentionally dragged out a fight to see how the Chiric Beast would fare. The discovery showed them that the Chiric Beast would usually just end up dying on its own, or get paralyzed.
Another important thing they learned was how the credits they obtained changed.
If the Chiric beast hadn't undergone Berserk, it would give the credits appropriate to its stage. But if it Berserked and was killed, it would give credits of the next stage.
Which was why Qiao De had obtained 1000 credits, whereas Crown Prince Feng Shun had only gotten 100 credits. If the beast was killed right away, the yield beca lower. The difference in number was of ten tis, thus while it could slow down their pace of hunting, it was still a decent return.
The only problem was holding back against the weaker Chiric Beasts at the First and Second Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm. For everyone in the group, killing them was not a problem at all and they died in a couple hits.
They had to intentionally cut down their power, so that the blow wouldn't kill the Chiric Beasts right away and give them a chance to Berserk.
"Perhaps this gives us a better chance to ear the higher levels of credits." Crown Princess Shang spoke. "We only need to find a Sixth Tribulation Stage Immortal realm Chiric beast and let it berserk to get a hundred million credits from it." "But we don't know if there are any of them that strong." Lin Mu replied. "So far we've only encountered the first and second Tribulation Stage Immortal realm beasts." He stated.
"Hmm, perhaps we'll have to look farther in." Ziran said, thinking for a bit. "Though there is always a chance the stronger variants of the Chiric beasts simply haven't had a ti to change in this one year. Though we still don't know how the change happens. Aren't they supposed to be consud by the Chiric Seed and then 'created' again?" he had a few doubts.
"We also saw the Chiric Beasts all dying en masse when the Chiric Seed was released. So these ones are either too far from it, or have been freshly born." Daoist Chu added. There were a lot of things they didn't know yet, and Lin Mu knew there was only one way to figure more out.
"We need to go to the site where the Chiric Seed was released." Lin Mu stated. "If we can find it, we will learn more and perhaps even eliminate it altogether." While that could cut down their additional credit gain, it was still a better option to cut out extra dangers for them in the trials. After all, it was one thing for the Sixth Tribulation Stage Immortal realm Chiric Beast to Berserk and reach the power of a Seventh Tribulation Stage Immortal Realm beast.
But if a Seventh Stage Chiric Beast sohow Berserked, no one knew what would happen.
The difference between a Seventh Tribulation Stage Immortal and a Transcendent Immortal was very vast and no one in the group paws confident in going against them. Even if they could resist it, there was always a chance they would have to take so losses.
Though they did have a few thods to fight against that too. For example, Crown Prince Feng Shun had the Imperial Might Talisman that could release the full powered blow of the Dao Wind Emperor. Emperor Feng was a Transcendent Immortal that had survived not one but two Transcendent Tribulations. As such, his strength would be a notch above others.
The Talisman might just be enough to kill one such beast. But it was sothing that was in limited supply.
Imperial Might Talismans couldn't just be made in a large supply and each one took years to make. As such, they were very precious and in the entire Imperial Feng Family, there weren't more than ten.
It was sothing they could only use in the worst of ergencies, and Crown Prince Feng Shun was not going to use it carelessly.
Having understood a bit more about the Chiric Beasts, Lin Mu and the others utilized Little Shrubby's skills and went directly to the site of the Chiric Seed. The Chiric Beasts couldn't even notice them in ti, and the Death Qi Boundaries that were present could be easily bypassed.
Without any interruptions, the group managed to travel for hundreds of kiloters and reached the place where it had all started.
"Let us down here, Little Shrubby." Lin Mu instructed.
~CRASH~
Little Shrubby's claws dug into the ground, leaving long gullies as he slowed down.
~THUD~THUD~THUD~
Everyone jumped down and took a look at the area ten kiloters ahead. Similar to the other places, this area had also recovered, and no signs of the previous fissures could be seen.
"This is… Unexpected." Lin Mu muttered. "I know Ziran said he saw no sign of the Chiric Plant, but this is underwhelming." "I only saw the surface. We don't know what's hiding underneath it all." Ziran replied. "It is a seed so it could have gone down deep to take root." He suggested.
"Possibly." Lin Mu nodded his head. "I'll take a look." He said before letting his immortal sense penetrate the ground.
