Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 367 - Silent Interaction?

Jiao Fan and Old Man Tiandi could not believe their eyes at first. Old Man Tiandi in particular had not detected that there were beasts on that platform. He didn't know that it was because of the formations of the platform itself or that he had missed it on his own.

Jiao Fan though, had felt something strange the moment the platform had come close. While he couldn't see anything on the platform from the bottom, he could very well sense a dangerous aura coming from it.

And now that the platform was finally in front of them, he realized why he was feeling anxious. The two beasts on the platform did not look weak, and they definitely were not here by accident.

The beast that caught his attention at first was none other than the Large snake that had a body seemingly sculpted out of emeralds. It had crimson red eyes that glowed with power, while his hundreds of teeth peeked out from the edge of his mouth.

No matter what angle he looked at it from, Lin Wu looked like he was giving them a grin, which in reality he was. But then he moved his gaze to the second beast that was at the back of the first one.

This one was a large bird beast that looked like an eagle. Jiao Fan could not recognize either of the beasts but at least this eagle beast looked normal than the earlier snake beast. The eagle beast had its eyes closed and looked to be asleep for now.

But the moment the platform came to rest on the four pillars, the eyes of the Eagle beast opened. Jiao Fan could see a flame burning in its eyes and a suffocating aura exuded from its body at that moment.

Spirit Qi fluctuations came from the beast in the next moment and Jiao Fan's eyes went wide.

"I… It can't be… how?" Jiao Fan muttered in disbelief.

Old Man Tiandi, who had now seen the beasts as well, heard Jiao Fan's words and became nervous. It didn't take him long to snap out of confusion to realize what kind of beasts were in front of him.

~gulp~

"A Dao Shell realm beast?" Old Man Tiandi Said.

His eyes quickly snapped to the crystal like snake beast as he tried to sense its cultivation base, only to realize he was unable to do so. Not only was the spirit Qi fluctuation of the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle too strong but there was a strange barrier around Lin Wu's body which made it difficult for Old Man Tiandi's spirit sense to cross.

This barrier was nothing but Lin Wu using radiation manipulation. The moment the platform had landed on the pillars, the barrier surrounding it had fully disappeared and now their appearance was revealed to everyone.

Lin Wu smiled upon seeing them because his work had just become easier. The supposed enemies had fought amount themselves, weaning their overall strength. This left Lin Wu free to eliminate them with ease. 

And now that the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle had also woken up on her own, Lin Wu didn't need to worry about anything. Still, he didn't attack straight up, since he wanted to see how they would act.

"Wait for a bit, I want to see what they are going to do." Lin Wu spoke to the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle.

To the others though, all they heard was a strange low screech coming from Lin Wu's mouth. The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle heard his words and looked at all of the humans beneath with an overbearing gaze.

"Alright, they are all bugs anyway." The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle stated as she closed her eyes again.

Seeing that there was no one to really threaten her, she was much more relaxed. She would rather recover her spirit Qi than spend time in what could be resolved by her companion. By now, the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle had learned that her fellow beast was much smarter than most beasts.

She would even say that he was no less clever and feisty than the humans. He also seemed to have an understanding of formations like humans did and even knew a lot of things that she did not know despite her bloodline memories.

That was also the reason why she had tolerated Lin Wu. He was the first beast who had not gotten scared right away because of her and had also managed to talk. Plus his unique bloodline also intrigued her.

While it was similar to that of the Olive Viper King, there was a significant difference that gave him a unique vibe. Plus, she realized with him being there, her work was made a lot easier. 

Thus one could say right now the relationship between Lin Wu and the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle was of mutual convenience. The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle wanted Lin Wu's intelligence while Lin Wu was taking advantage of the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle's strength.

Neither Lin Wu nor the humans were aware of the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle thoughts and simply kept on staring. Seeing that she had closed her eyes back, Jiao Fan almost took a breath of relief.

"The beasts, are they the protectors?" Old Man Tiandi wondered.

Since they had appeared on the platform which was obviously linked with the temple, this was the most straightforward reason he could think of.

"Looks like they probably are… but the vast difference between their species… it doesn't really make sense." Jiao Fang replied.

The two had already come to a mutual understanding about their current situation and had non verbally decided to stop their fight. Not just them, but all of the cultivators were the same.

Lin Wu closely observed the changes in all of them and their expressions before being unable to hold himself back.

"AHAHAHA!" Lin Wu laughed out loud, his distorted voice spread across the city, striking fear in the hearts of the people.
