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 shifted.
'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.
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 space 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.
