Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 153 - Beasts In Conflict?

"System scan this beast for me…" Lin Wu ordered, before Shirong slaughtered it the next minute.

~Ding~

——

SCANNER ACTIVATED: Target identified.

TARGET NAME: Galloping Armadillo

CULTIVATION BASE: Mid stage of the core condensation realm.

INFO: The galloping armadillo is a beast that has diverged from its previous species and has adapted to run on the ground instead of digging, though it stumbles a lot of it goes beyond a certain speed and then falls. Their survival rate is twenty percent for reaching a hundred years of age.

——

"Huh, you are a defective one…" Lin Wu muttered as he was stabbed through the head of the Galloping Armadillo.

The armor plates on top of its head posed no resistance to Lin Wu's sharp spear tip and were easily pierced. Lin Wu quickly got to absorbing the Spirit Qi and vital energy feeling amazing.

~Ding~

——

SPIRIT QI OBTAINED: 986 Units [liquid spirit qi]

QI STORAGE: 24876 units [liquid spirit qi]

VITAL ENERGY OBTAINED: 657 units

VITAL ENERGY STORAGE: 20298 units

——

Lin Wu passed on a part of the spirit qi to Shirong who quickly absorbed it. He had now become used to it and was no longer as cautious as before. He would absorb the spirit qi he got from the spear as quickly as possible. This was because not only was he continually using spirit qi while holding Lin Wu but that he was also using his spirit sense to constantly check for danger.

The area had become more dangerous and he could feel the strange feeling in the air. There were sounds coming from the distance which only made Shirong more and more anxious. This had started this morning and was slowly increasing in intensity.

He didn't know what exactly had happened but knew that it is probably bad.

'From the source of the sound, it is coming at least two hundred kilometers away. That should mean that there are a lot of beasts making it together or it would not reach this far…' Shirong thought to himself.

They continued onward and had now officially entered the fifth ring. Both Shirong and Lin Wu could feel the abrupt increase in the spirit qi of the forest. This was the biggest difference they sensed till now as in the previous rings the increase was eventual instead of sudden like this.

"This is rather unique… wonder how it works. Oh wait, system check to see if you can find anything interesting." Lin Wu ordered.

~Ding~

——

TASK ADDED: Analyzing Spirit qi in the environment.

——

They continued onward and fought a few more core condensation realm beasts until the night time arrived. Shirong was extra cautious this time and searched for a safe cave on his own before settling there for the night.

He set up some extra defensive formation arrays as well and made sure they were working multiple times through the night. Lin Wu wanted to go out to roam and eat the corpses that were left behind, but due to Shirong's behaviors he could not.

Still, Lin Wu could not complain about it as it was something that even he would have done after an encounter like that.

~Awooo~

~Roar~

~HOWWWLL~

~KEEEE~

~REEEEE~

A cacophony of noises were heard in the night as they made it harder for Shirong to relax. He could hear that they were coming from the further depths of the forest. But now that Shirong was in the fifth ring, he didn't really have a desire to entire the next ring as that would simply mean suicide.

Shirong was going to make this cave his shelter for the time being. At least until he reached the pseudo nascent soul realm and would have gathered enough spirit qi.

'So this is what they meant by the beasts fighting for the freed territory…' Lin Wu thought.

He then activated the communication link with the mole beast to ask some things.

"How are the conflicts with the beasts going?" Lin Wu questioned.

"They are bad… I'm barely escaping them and need to stay in the ground for most of the time. And I can't get close to the territory of the Olive Viper King anymore as he has slaughtered an army of beasts on his own. He's looking to expand his territory now, which had made a lot of beasts nervous and scared." The mole beast said.

Lin Wu looked up the mole beast's location and saw that he was even further south than them.

"Hmm… this should be near the border area of the fifth ring… looks like this is gonna be tough for us now." Lin Wu muttered to himself as he saw the beasts roaming and fighting in that area.

He then contacted the beetle beast and got a similar answer from her.

"Master, only the subordinates that are fighting for territory are going out. The rest of us have been told to stay put for now." The beetle beast said.

"I see…" Lin Wu replied before closing the link.

He checked up on her location and found her to be near the border of the sixth ring as well. Except that she was in the South eastern direction, a bit opposite to Lin Wu current one.

A bit more time passed and Lin Wu had been practicing refining his sprite sense when he suddenly received a warning.

~WARNING~

——

MULTIPLE BEASTS DETECTED: Total beasts 25- (2 Early stage Core condensation realm beasts, 19 Mid stage Core Condensation realm beats, 3 Late Stage Core Condensation realm beasts and 1 Peak stage Core condensation realm beast identified.

SUGGESTION: The host is advised to- 1. Retreat

                                    2. Upgrade cultivation base and fight

——

Seeing the system's warning alerted Lin Wu pretty quickly, and he immediately switched to the map window.

"GODDAMN! That's a lot of beasts… strong beasts…" Lin Wu said, feeling shocked.

While their numbers seemed less compared to some herds and groups of beasts, Shirong had fought. This was the very first time that he was actually fighting so many core condensation realm beasts all at once.

"Oh boy, this is gonna be a long night…"
