Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 1049 Consuming The Sun Tipped Crane

Leaving his Main body in the Taiji Celstial's Tomb, Lin Wu switched over to his avatar that was currently in the Hu Continent.

The message he had received was that Hu Dagao had finally gathered all the plant type beasts that were found on the continent.

The original order that Lin Wu had given was to find three kinds of plant beasts.

The first was the Sun Tipped Crane and was a beast that lived in the western valleys of the Hu Continent. It was quite rare and even with the resources of the Hu clan, it had taken nearly two years to find it.

Though that could also be attributed to the fact that a lot of the Hu Clan's resources were currently stuck in going against the Calamity Fiend. So Lin Wu could technically blame himself for the slow progress.

Though he didn't really mind it as much since he was in no hurry.

The second plant beast that he had sent out an ordered to be searched for was none other than the Grass Mane Monkey. It was a beast that was found in both Long continent and the Hu continent, but was said to have been hunted to extinction.

"Hmm.. They found the Grass Mane Monkey's in the Hu continent too. Seems like they truly were eradicated from the Long Continent." Lin Wu looked through the information that his subordinates had sent.

Apparently a small tribe of the Grass Mane Monkey's was found far to the north of the Hu Continent. But the most surprising part was the actual location of them.

"They were actually in a minor plane… Looks like it was left behind by one of the former sects." Lin Wu read the information.

The sects had long since been abolished by the Hu clan thousands of years ago, but still there were many inheritances and secrets of these sects that had been missing. The discovery of the current minor plane was also due to luck.

The people of the Hu clan had been surveying the northern parts of the Hu continent for the traces of the Shadow Legion and had ended up discovering this minor plane. If it had not been for that, perhaps this hidden minor plane would never be found.

"Entering the minor plane is easy but exiting is not. Only a few people managed to return with the news while the rest were trapped… Seems like I'll have to enter myself." Lin Wu reckoned.

He didn't just wish to consume the Grass Mane Monkeys though. He also intended to bring them over so that he could let them prosper in his kingdom. Lin Wu had seen the benefits of the ape and monkeys beasts and wanted to add more of their species to it.

"Well then, no use waiting around." Lin Wu directly activated the teleportation array and arrived in his underground base of the Second Light City.

In the past two years, it had been greatly expanded and developed, allowing many people to train and live here. Of course, most of this had been done under the guidance of Cang Ci and thus the progress was very good.

~SHUA~

"Master!" Several members of the Shadow Legion were waiting for Lin Wu's arrival and kneeled to greet him.

Lin Wu looked at them and recognized a couple of them to be Cang Ci's direct subordinates in the Hu continent.

"Where is the Beast?" Lin Wu asked right away.

"We've prepared them for you, master." The man standing at the front said before turning to the back, "bring it over!" he ordered.

~STEP~STEP~STEP~

A few seconds later, three more people arrived, but this time they were carrying a large platter with them.

"Oh?" Lin Wu looked at the corpse of the bird beast that was placed on it.

From it's look, Lin Wu could tell that it was slaughtered not long ago and was fresh.

"Leave it with me." Lin Wu stated.

"Yes, master!" The people of the Shadow Legion replied before taking their leave.

Over the years, Cang Ci had drilled Lin Wu's habits into their minds, and they knew exactly how to behave with him. Though it was also a bit to do with Lin Wu's persona of being the Calamity Fiend which was fierce.

His normal personality was relatively fine and didn't cause others to behave in these ways.

"Let's taste it then, shall we?" Lin Wu looked at the Sun Tipped Crane corpse that was placed on the large platter.

The beast was over three meters wide and seemed to have been in the Dao Shell realm before its death. Most of its body was covered with white feathers, but the tips of its wings were golden yellow like the sun.

Its beak though was brown and looked like it was made out of some kind of wood while its long neck was green like tender vines.

Lin Wu spread his immortal sense and could detect the wood elemental Qi within the beast, too.

~CRUNCH~

In the next moment, Lin Wu opened his mouth wide and consumed the entire corpse in one go. It was quickly ground by the thousands of teeth in his mouth and reduced to a mince. His stomach worked quickly and started digesting and absorbing it.

Several notifications popped up showing the Spirit Qi and vital energy that he had obtained from the Sun Tipped crane, but it wasn't interesting to him. Over the years, he had obtained such a massive amount of spirit Qi and vital energy that he knew using it all up would be a tall task.

Rather than them, his goal was something else.

~DING~

——

DAO TRACE: Updated!

Wood Dao Trace Compatibility: 86% -> 90%

"Good…" Lin Wu was pleased with this gain.

He could also feel his Chimeric skills working, but there was no new gain in it as of now.

"I need to consume more." Lin Wu decided to move to his next target. "Let's not wait any more…"

He quickly activated the teleportation array and went to the closest location to the minor plane.
