Chapter 2237  Camouflage And Wide Search

Lin Mu used Blink several times Ina row and quickly got away from the Toads, that were still looking for a foe nearby.

'Would they notice the disappearance of the Three Colored Dazzling Mud Lotus roots too?' he thought, as it didn't seem like the Toads were particularly interested in them.

It just seemed like the two were existing here without interfering with each other. At first Lin Mu and the others had thought that the Toad Plan Hybrid Chimeric beasts might have been guarding the Dazzling Mud Lotus for their own use.

But now it seemed like the Toads didn't seem to care about them. It was in fact the Dazzling Mud Lotus that was taking advantage of them by living in the same area as them.

Though this only made the work easier for Lin Mu as he could now take the Lotus without there being any extra problems. The only reason the toads were even attacking Lin Mu was because he had intruded in their territory. Other than that they were the least bothered about the Lotus themselves.

This actually led Lin Mu to think of another factor.

'What do the Chimeric beasts consume for sustenance here? While there is Immortal Qi here, don't they also consume other things as beasts? Lin Mu wondered.

But so far here, he had not seen any normal beasts or even any number of significant plants. Also it didn't seem like the Chimeric beasts were eating each other.

That was possibly the strangest part, as they had a 'peace' amongst them.

'There's a lot about the Chimeric Beasts that we don't know about.' Lin Mu thought as he continued his search for the other Dazzling Mud Lotuses.

He knew that this was not the one that Crown Princess Shang had found, as this one didn't seem to have a flower growing from it. Lin Mu took a peek inside his ring, and saw that the roots of the Dazzling Mud Lotus were rather 'confused' at being s.h.i.+fted.

'Perhaps I should place it in something familiar?' Lin Mu wondered.

The roots were still alive, which would preserve their quality and let them maintain their properties, until Crown Princess Shang took a look at them.

Since Lin Mu didn't know exactly how long it was going to take to find the proper Three Colored Dazzling Mud Lotus, he reckoned it was best to keep the roots in a good condition.

"I'll just scoop up some of the mud." Lin Mu muttered and streaked past the muddy lake's surface.

He lightly dipped his finger in, rapidly sucking in the mud into the ring and creating a makes.h.i.+ft pond inside one of the sections of the ring where other things would not be disturbed.

Though of course, Xukong's presence would ensure that the root wouldn't even think of moving past the designated area.

~Ripple~

In just a few seconds, the Dazzling Mud lotus roots were 'planted' in their new temporary house. With that done, Lin Mu continued his search, his Spatial Perception fully active.

Luck didn't seem to be on his side though as all he saw were more Toad Plan Hybrid Chimeric beasts. 'Are they spread thin?' Lin Mu wondered as he soon reached the edge of the lake. 'Probably not in this lake anymore.' He reckoned.

With that in mind, he decided to explore the other lakes. Though he also sent a message to his companions telling him about his status.

'We'll catch up after wiping out the Chimeric Beasts here.' Lin Mu received their reply and sped up.

He ended up scouring through four more lakes before finally chancing upon what he was looking for. "More roots." Lin Mu's eyes found the dense network of the Dazzling Mud Lotus roots under the muddy lake.

Though this time around he could also see something slightly different. There were a few flat and longitudinal sections spread in the lake too.

'Those should be the leaves and shoots of the Dazzling Mud Lotus.' Lin Mu thought.

The one he had gathered earlier only seemed to be a bunch of roots and there were no shoots or leaves on it. Lin Mu knew that Lotuses could have different live cycles, and in some of them they could become dormant by terminating all shoots and leaves, leaving only roots behind.

The roots would then gather enough nutrients for the next flower to blossom and finally create more shoots and leaves.

The one that he had encountered now seemed to be in the sprouting stage.

"Though this one is gonna be a but more difficult." Lin Mu narrowed his eyes as he saw more than just lotus leaves on the lake's surface.

The flowers and leaves from the Toad Plant Hybrids were also spread there and Lin Mu's Spatial Perception could pick up on at least a thousand of them surrounding the Dazzling Mud Lotus.

Seeing this though, one thing became sure for Lin Mu.

'The Dazzling Mud Lotus intentionally moves into the swarm of the Toads to provide it protection when its time to sprout it seems.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

And perhaps because the toads themselves had plantlike appendages, they thought that the Dazzling Mud Lotus was their kin and didn't take it as threat.

It was good defensive camouflage and allowed the Dazzling Mud Lotus to protect itself without spending any extra effort.

"Now how do I get down there?" Lin Mu wondered, as there wasn't enough gap for him to dive into the lake.

The Dazzling Mud Lotus was tightly packed with the toads and they basically left no s.p.a.ce for Lin Mu to go down. Even if he did through a few of the gaps, there was a high chance the Toads would detect him.

After thinking for a second he understood that he needed to create a distraction.

~huu~

"Xiao Yin, Xiao Yang, what do you two think about a few toads for lunch?" Lin Mu called the twins out.

~HISS~HISS~

As soon as the twins heard his words, they appeared with great excitement in their eyes.
