Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 176 - Iron Bark Wood Tree?

Lin Wu had not expected that a random beast he chose would have the potential to become an Adult Stage Nascent soul realm beast. But from their common occurrence, Lin Wu reckoned that reaching the Nascent Soul realm would be quite difficult for the beast.

After all, it only showed its potential, reaching that level was up to the efforts of the beast itself.

Lin Wu continued on and finished setting up the imprints on the High Wind Gale Sparrow. Finally, the rhombus gem was inserted into its head as well, completing the process.

SPIRIT QI CONSUMED: 7000 Units (liquid spirit qi)

Lin Wu nodded his head upon seeing that it was complete and checked the Servant beast section in the host data, just to ensure that everything was working fine.

"Wait for a bit. I'll finish up my meal…" Lin Wu said before retraining to eat the rest of the Hard Eared Limber Mice Corpses.

Lin Wu moved and opened his mouth wider than before, quickly consuming the corpses. His spike like teeth moved in a spiral and instantly minced the corpses before being swallowed. Within ten minutes, Lin Wu had finished eating them all and now the area looked much cleaner.

Though the traces of the battle could still be seen and anyone would be able to tell that a great massacre had happened here. The scent of blood was still in the air as well and would take quite a while to dissipate completely.

VITAL ENERGY OBTAINED: 12,106,934 units-> 1,210,693 units Vital Essence

VITAL ESSENCE STORAGE: 4,960,187 Units

'That was definitely worth it…' Lin Wu thought after seeing the vital essence. 

The two newly acquired servant beasts were simply watched as their master consumed ungodly amounts of food all at once. They were beasts and could eat a lot, but this was simply on a different level. The two beasts knew that even the strongest beast in the forest, the Twin Light Liger King could not eat so much food at once.

It would take him at least a week to finish all this food, and even then it would have to be constantly eating and digesting it. They now understood that their new master was no normal beast and could not be gaged by their understanding.

"Alright, now that this is done, take me to the eight sigils chrysanthemum." Lin Wu ordered.

"Yes, master. Please follow me." The swan beast replied in a respectful manner.

The effect of the servant imprint was instantaneous, and it didn't take it long for the beast to address Lin Mu as such either.

~flap~

~shua~

The Swan beast flew up and so did the sparrow beast behind it. Lin Wu dug back into the ground and entered his Drill mode to move as fast as possible. He activated the navigation and set the target as the swan beast. Now all he had to do was to follow the directions of the navigation HUD and he'll be able to reach the target location.

Even with his increased speed, Lin Wu was slightly slower than the Swan and sparrow beast. In fact, the sparrow beast was even faster than the swan beast, but because it was following the swan beast, it had kept its pace slow.

Just like the swan beast had said, it had taken them around thirty minutes to reach the location of the Eight Sigils Chrysanthemum. 

Upon reaching it, Lin Wu realized why any other beasts had not found it yet. The eight sigils chrysanthemum was growing inside the hollow of a dead tree. The dead tree was thick and the space in its hollow was about three meters wide.

Entering it was also impossible for other beasts as the only opening was from the very top, which was also quite narrow being less than 30 centimeters wide. 

"Here it is master, the Eight Sigils Chrysanthemum grows inside this dead Iron Bark Wood tree." The Swan beast said.

~Clink~

Lin Wu tapped the Iron bark wood tree and heard the metallic sound from it. The bark of the tree did seem like iron, just like its name said.

"System, scan this Iron Bark Wood Tree." Lin Wu ordered.

~Ding~

TAGGER: Iron Bark Wood Tree

INFO: The Iron Bark Wood Tree is valued for its tough iron like bark and is used for the production of spirit tools. The wood is highly resistant to breaking, burning, and cutting. The tree is also valued due to the convenience it offers because of its life cycle.

When the Iron Bark Wood Tree reaches maturity, it spreads its seeds which look like iron needles. These needles latch onto the fur and feathers of beasts who then spread them to different locations. After it has successfully spread its seeds, the tree starts dying.

Its dying process is also rather unique, such that it dies from the inside first and leaves behind a hollow trunk. This hollow is often used by various types of beasts as a nest or shelter. Cultivators chop down these hollow tress to use in production of weapons and armor.

'Looks like something that can come in handy…' Lin Wu thought.

"Master, how will you take the Eight sigils chrysanthemum now? The Iron Bark Wood Tree is hard to break and only a Nascent soul realm beast is usually able to break it." The Sparrow beast asked.

"Oh, it's easy…" Lin Wu said and touched the bark with his tail.

"Store the Iron Bark Wood Tree in the storage system." Lin Wu ordered.

~Shua~

Suddenly in the Iron Bark Wood Tree disappeared into thin air and the two servant beasts were left wide eyed. 

As soon as the Iron Bark Wood Tree disappeared though, the Eight sigils Chrysanthemum was revealed. The Spirit herb was actually a flower that had eight orange petals, on each of which a sigil was printed. 

"Whoa!"
