Chapter 1364: A Bounty Of Food
Lin Mu felt like he was soaring across the sky at a greater speed than before.
'Guess is the difference between Elder Niji's proficiency with the arrays and Lanbao's own proficiency.' Lin Mu thought to himself.
They streaked past the Deep Sapphire City, and went to the other corner of the Island. In the first place, the Island was several hundreds of kilometers wide, allowing many kinds of areas to be made within its limits.
Lin Mu couldn't help but wonder if this was naturally formed or if it was made by the ancestor of the Haima tribe, Muxuan.
'There are no specific signs pointing to it. The only confirmed artificial part seems to be the Deep Sapphire City itself.' Lin Mu pondered.
The Deep Sapphire Island was larger than the city after all and had a lot more areas. Most of which were not seen by Lin Mu and the rest. Perhaps only Elder Niji could sense all of them due to him being the owner of the place now.
A vast Sapphire Coral tree forest went past under them before they finally reached the location Lanbao wanted to show them.
"Will this place work?" Lanbao asked, gesturing with her hands.
Lin Mu and Elder Niji could see a vast plain under them. The ground was made out of a solid rock of some kind. It was completely barren and flat, seemingly looking like something had been chopped off here.
"This seems a little unusual… was there a mountain here?" Lin Mu muttered, finding the area usually flat.
"Yes! The mountain here was sliced off by Ancestor Muxuan in the past and the rocks and other materials in it were used to make the Deep Sapphire City's buildings." Lanbao explained.
"No wonder…" Lin Mu understood, getting some clarity about it all.
He now knew the island was naturally formed, but the city was made from this mountain artificially.
"Will this area work, Noble Lin Mu?" Elder Niji asked.
"Yeah, it'll be perfect." Lin Mu nodded his head. "We just need to make the channels for the immortal Qi to reach here." He added.
"That's good. Though you should rest a bit before starting. We have just arrived here." Elder Niji suggested.
"Hmm… I think I'll just rest here for the time being. I'll start making the formations in a day's time. After they are done, we'll connect the channels." Lin Mu replied. "Elder Niji, you can get the Tribe situated till then and also assign some tasks to the convicts." He suggested next.
"That works. But you only want a day's break?" Elder Niji asked feeling doubtful.
"Yeah, a day will be more than enough." Lin Mu said with surety. "Though… I would like some food too." He added a moment alter.
"Food? Can you eat beasts? Or do you need herbs and fruits?" Lanbao asked curiously.
"I can eat all of those." Lin Mu replied.
"Ah! You should have said so." Lanbao said and quickly waved her hands.
~HONGLONG~
In the next second, a long water whip formed close to them. The water whip extended endlessly, directly piercing past the dome protecting the island and entered the ocean. Lin Mu was taken aback by this, wondering if the dome was fine.
'Since she's the artifact spirit, it should be fine.' Lin Mu reckoned.
He continued to watch the water whip and saw it continue to extended. A few seconds later, it wrapped around several of the aquatic beasts that were going about their day and captured them.
All these beasts were Immortal beasts but didn't even have a moment to struggle against the whip. Lanbao's power was too domineering for them to do anything at all.
~WHOOSH~
Having captured a handful of beasts, the Water whip returned to the island, pulling the aquatic beasts along with it.
~THUD~THUD~THUD~
The aquatic beasts were thrown a short distance away from the group and trembled in their place. Among these aquatic beasts, there were a coupled of fish beasts who could only flop around.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThen there were two crab beasts that scuttled around, but found themselves trapped in a water bubble that appeared around them. But the biggest and strangest among them was a large beast that looked like a mix between an elephant and an angler fish.
It had an elephant's body, but its head was that of an angler fish and instead of a trunk, it used its angler.
"Will they be fine?" Lanbao asked with a smile.
Lin Mu raised a brow, having not expected such an offer.
"Y-yeah… they'll be perfect." Lin Mu replied.
But Lanbao was not done there, her hand directly pierced into the space and pulled out several more objects. These looked to be differently shaped fruits and were unlike anything Lin Mu had seen before.
There were also entire herbs that she pulled out. These herbs were bundled together as if it was a bunch of spinach in a grocery store. But the energy waves they emitted were enough to show that all of them were Immortal herbs!
By this point, even Elder Niji couldn't stop his eye from twitching. Everything that Lanbao had taken out were treasures and would be worth a decent sized fortune.
Since he had access to the Array, he could tell exactly how many things were kept in it as well as when they were withdrawn. And so far, none of the objects that Lanbao had taken out were from it.
'I don't think these are from the storage either… these were privately kept by Lanbao…' Elder Niji realized.
"There you go, some herbs and fruits as well." Lanbao handed them to Lin Mu.
"T-thank you…" Lin Mu didn't know what else to say.
"Tell me if you need more! I got tons of them. I can't eat the beast so I didn't collect them, but I can use the fruits and herbs." Lanbao spoke.
"Wait, you can eat even in this form?" Lin Mu was surprised.
"Yeah, I just need to convert the fruits and herbs into pure energy and consume them." Lanbao replied.
