Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 286 - I'm A Hoverboard Now?

Lin Wu had gotten some fruits and even some wild vegetables here. He stored them for now and would eat them later. The fruits were the only snacks he could eat as of now, and anything complex would need cooking.

Thankfully,, in that aspect, he had plenty of food that he had gotten from the banquet and the capital city's restaurants. As long as he ate them sparingly he should have enough for a couple of months.

After all, he was eating them for taste and not actually sustenance. For that, he had the dead beasts that he got to drain and even the stored energy and spirit Qi he had would last him a long time.

Lin Wu waited for Shirong to wake up for about a day now. And the moment he got the notification from the system, he returned to the previous position he was in.

~huu~

Shirong let out a breath and opened his eyes. A fierce aura erupted from his body at that moment and the grass that was around him was chopped in half.

"Spear intent… so this is what it is like… but it still clashes with my sword, intent making it unstable. I'll need to find a way." Shirong muttered to himself.

He turned his eyes to the five meter long spear that was stuck in the ground next to him and sighed again. While he had gained an insight into spear intent from the memory he saw, he was still unable to use the Immortal Crystal Armament to its full potential.

But then the connection between him and the Immortal Crystal Armament suddenly became active.

"Oh? What's this?" Shirong said before seeing something that made his eyes go wide.

The spear slowly rose up from the ground and turned to a horizontal position in front of him. It lightly floated in front of him, unmoving, as if waiting for his commands.

"I… I can use it to fly now?!" Shirong exclaimed.

He used his spirit sense to link up with the spear and saw it move according to his instructions.

"AWESOME! Just what I wanted. So this is what the release of seal brought about this time." Shirong said out loud.

He then thought for a moment before sending some orders through his connection. The spear lightly hummed in front of him before starting to enlarge.

~shua~

The spear was now four times as wide and more flat.

"This should make it easier for me to fly now," Shirong muttered to himself, as he felt happy.

Meanwhile, Lin Wu was feeling happy too.

"Haha! This form is much more comfortable. Just gotta keep this up, and eventually, I won't have to hide my true form. Though I'll probably have to act more puppet like then." Lin Wu said to himself.

Shirong checked the Immortal Crystal Armament one last time before jumping on it. As soon as he did though, he started to feel the drain on his spirit Qi.

"Sure enough, the drain is no joke either…" Shirong chuckled to himself but did not mind it.

He had seen the increased weight of the weapon and knew that even if he tried to fly on his own spirit sword, it would be impossible for it to lift off the ground with all that weight. Even flying himself with all that weight put a lot of burden on him and made him use up more energy.

But now that the Immortal Crystal Armament could fly on its own, while the energy consumption was still high, it was much less than Shirong carrying it and then flying.

"Hehe, I get more spirit Qi from Shirong too this way. At least I'm not exhausting my own spirit Qi to fly now." Lin Wu chuckled to himself.

This was Lin Wu's goal that he had thought. Using this method not only would he be more comfortable, but it would also allow them to reach the Dread Coil Marsh faster. 

Shirong looked towards his intended location before commanding, "FLY UP!" 

~Zoom~

"Oh No!" Shirong suddenly shouted.

Lin Wu sped ahead like a missile, almost making Shirong fly off him. Shirong luckily held onto one of the spines that rose from his back, and did not fall down.

Pulling himself back onto the body of the Immortal Crystal Armament while making it slow down a bit, Shirong got habituated to the speed. He made a few more changes to its structure using his connection and made what was basically a socket for his shoes.

By putting his feet in these two sockets, the crystals would lock around them, preventing him from falling down. 

But seeing this modification that Shirong did, gave rise to another thought in Lin Wu's mind.

"Am I a hoverboard now?" Lin Wu wondered, seeing his shape and function.

Thinking back to those fictional hoverboard designs from his past life, Lin Wu found them to be similar. 

"I'm pretty much hoverboard… if it was made of crystals and flew at a great speed while being able to eat living things." Lin Wu joked to himself.

They flew past the plains and great speed, leaving the destroyed trees behind. With the Immortal Crystal Armament helping him travel, Shirong was both tired and pleased at the same time. 

He could see that the speed of the Immortal Crystal Armament was faster than him, but it also took up a substantial amount of spirit Qi from him. Though overall he was still covering more distance than he normally would have.

Lin Wu also learned of the limit that Shirong could supply him with spirit Qi. They could fly for at most ten hours, after which Shirong would have to pause and take a break. He would then cultivate for twelve hours to restore his spirit Qi, and repeat the same thing.

While it looked like he was spending more time cultivating than traveling, the distance they traveled was the same as what they would travel in a little more than two days. Though this routine of flying and resting didn't last long.
