Walker Of The Worlds Chapter 2320 Innovative Application

2320 Innovative Application
"This is… Ingenious!" Daoist Chu exclaimed, seeing the interlinked crystals.
"A method like this would indeed solve a lot of structural problems that arise due to the physical properties of materials." Ziran could see many applications of it.
They observed the crystal and talked about it for a bit, before Crown Princess Shang asked something.
"How would we use the poison with this?" She inquired. "Is it just the same as dipping it?" "No, that would not be secure and the effect might not be transmitted in the best way." Lin Mu replied. "Instead, this very same method can be used for the poison too." He took out another pair of crystals from his storage.
"What's different about these?" Daoist Chu asked, picking up one of them.
He glanced inside them, and saw that in addition to the cage like structure, this one had hollow capsular cavities inside it. When both halves were combined, this cavity would be sealed shut.
"We can store the poison inside this." Lin Mu showed. "And when the arrow has paired it, the crystals would break as well, releasing it all inside the Chimera Plant." He stated.
Hearing that, the eyes of Crown Princess Shang lit up.
"That would indeed have the most potent effect." Crown Princess Shang was in agreement.
Lin Mu didn't know whether they would be able to obtain more Chimera plant fragments. After all, there was no guarantee to them and the plant could explode in any way possible. The fact that they had obtained the five fragments alone was luck.
And once Lin Mu used the arrow on the next Chimera Plant, it was hard to tell what kind of effect it would bring. It was very well possible that no fragments might be created, thus it was important for them to have alternative methods for it.
If the poison could work well, it could sever as this alternative.
After all, even if Lin Mu had more of the Black Hex Raven Tears, there was no guarantee that another arrow would be able to handle its effects. The only reason they were a viable option right now was due to high durability of the Chimera Plant bark fragments.
'The three root fragments can always be re-purposed later if we have improvements in our methods.' Lin Mu hoped that they could learn more from their next encounter and improve upon the methods that had been devised by them.
If he could make the Root Fragments viable enough to pierce the Chimera Plant, it would give him additional three arrows that would be possibly cover most of the other Chimera Plants. Though he did hope that there weren't too many of them or things might get quite difficult.
Then there was also the unknown factor of someone else being here that they didn't know about.
Those strangers would certainly pose danger to them and they had to be ready for it too. 'Since the items had been removed from the Reward list, it means the others have been hunting Chimeric Beasts too. If they are desiring more of them, they might eventually discover the Chimera Plants too. We might come in conflict if this happens.' Lin Mu thought of a potential scenario.
He also thought about this unknown party being genial towards them such that no conflict might occur. But from what Lin Mu knew about expeditions like this, greed was often the paramount emotion in it. Just because their own group worked in cohesion didn't mean this could be expanded or repeated.
After all there was a reason why the other expedition members in the smaller spatial planes had split up. Larger numbers could lead to competition which would lead to inevitable conflict.
There were already examples of the immortal court trainees stealing the kills of others, thereby gaining missing points. If something like this happened in the righteous Immortal court too, and was given a tacit approval by them, it was almost guaranteed to happen in the lawless place like this Spatial Plane.
Thus, Lin Mu and his companions needed to be as careful as possible.
~SHUA~
As they were talking though, the runes in the hall alarmed Lin Mu, making him stop.
"Looks like the others are finally here." He said before flying up.
"About time, they reached." Daoist Chu said as he followed after him.
Ziran and the Crown princess did the same, and they arrived at the meeting hall.
~MEOW~ ~SHUA~
A red blur rushed into Lin Mu's arms, letting out meows. "I'm back, Master!" Little Shrubby said with joy.
"You are, and right on time too." Lin Mu said, feeling the soft fur of Little Shrubby.
Even after a month, there had been no change to it and it was as soft and clean as always despite the battles that the beast had fought.
"Have you been waiting for us?" Lady Kang asked, a slight smile on her face.
"Of course." Lin Mu replied as he glanced at the woman who looked the same as before too. Though he also noticed a hint of anxiety in her eyes that tried to hide. Min Ju on her side though showed it a lot more clearly and also had fatigue present on her face. "Looks like you three had a tiring time." Ziran said, noticing it all.
"We did." Lady Kang nodded. "This Spatial Plane is too big." She said before letting out a sigh.
"You were supposed to go furthest to the east, right?" Crown Princess Shang asked. "Did you discover anything?" "We did." Lady Kang replied. "A lot…" "We certainly have a lot to hunt out there," Min Ju chimed in.
"Oh? What did you find?" Lin Mu was certainly interested.
He could have, of course, asked Little Shrubby directly through his link, but reckoned it was better to get input from them first.
"More Chimeric Beasts than we might be able to hunt," Lady Kang said in short. "What we've killed so far are merely a drop in the ocean."
