Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 523 - Bloodline Tracer And Resonance

Lin Wu who watched the juvenile lizards act, was stunned. If he were not so shocked, he would have stepped back rather easily. After all, for him to dodge five baby beasts was rather easy.

While he was shocked, the Club Tailed Lizard was absolutely terrified. For her offspring to directly walk up to Lin Wu and act like that could be considered to be highly offensive. She wouldn't be shocked if Lin Wu was enraged enough to smash them all to mince meat.

But the dreadful fate that she was expecting did not happen. Rather than that, she just saw Lin Wu looking at her children with a strange look.

"King Lin Wu… I… they…" The Club Tailed Lizard tried to explain.

"It's fine… though it's certainly unexpected." Lin Wu said.

The Club Tailed Lizard didn't know what to say and was confused. Lin Wu on the other hand, was having a different thought stream in his mind.

"System? What was that?" Lin Wu questioned.

~DING~

——

ANSWER: The system suspects that the host giving a proper name to the bloodline has triggered a mass resonant effect. The system cannot fully analyze it, but it has something to do with the approval of the heavens.

The host is now the 'creator' of the bloodline and thus every beast that has it will be obedient and submissive to the host.

——

Hearing this, Lin Wu finally understood. In his past world, he had read a lot of fantasy novels and knew that naming certain beasts was a way to establish contracts, taming and many such things.

"So me naming the bloodline was basically putting my claim to it and becoming its owner… and since these baby lizards are technically the closest beasts compared to my original bloodline, they are acting like this." Lin Wu said.

"Affirmative." The system replied.

"Hmm…" Lin Wu hummed in response and observed the baby lizards.

Their crystals were growling lightly and were in sync, not only with each other but also Lin Wu. Lin Wu's body would glow and dim every so often and had a specific rhythm to it. It could be considered to be a bit similar to his heartbeat, but different.

He had not paid as much attention to it before, but now he could tell that it had something to do with the bloodline resonance. He closed his eyes and tried to sense his surroundings.

He realized that he could now sense not only the baby lizards near him, but every other servant that held his bloodline or the beasts that were mutated by him. He could sense their locations without the use of the system or even his spirit sense.

Of course, there were limitations to its accuracy and right now Lin Wu could only pinpoint those that were within the limits of the Millennium forest. As for Wang Xiong, while he could not spot his exact location, Lin Wu could vaguely tell that he was to the south.

'Well, that's a new addition…' Lin Wu muttered.

And just as he did this, a notification sounded.

~DING~

"Huh? What the… how is it at master?" Lin Wu was surprised again.

~DING~

——

ANSWER: Since the Host is the creator of the bloodline, the proficiency will be the highest for him. Host's other subordinates also have the innate ability or will awaken it later on. They will start from the basic proficiency though.

And as the host's cultivation level increases, the ability's grade will increase. Right now, the ability works in a radius of a 100 kilometers with accurate location and 2000 kilometers with a vague sense.

——

"I see… no wonder. Well, that makes sense. I guess it should rise automatically with my cultivation since it's already at master and it is also a passive ability." Lin Wu muttered to himself.

While he was in his thoughts, Lin Wu was woken up by the Club Tailed Lizard.

"King Lin Wu… should I get them away?" The Mother lizard asked.

"Ah… yeah. I have to leave now." Lin Wu said.

The Club Tallied Lizard nodded her head and went to grab her offspring. All it took was a single sweep of her tail and all five of the baby lizards were swept up by her. 

"KIKIKIKI~!" But the moment she did so, the five lizards woke up and let out cries. 

They were looking towards Lin Wu and extending their claws towards them. The desire in their eyes was obvious. 

"Huh?" Lin Wu didn't know what to say.

The Club Tailed Lizard knew what the desire in the eyes of the juvenile lizards was, though. She was their mother and had been taking care of them for about ten years now, ever since they were eggs. 

She knew very well that the look in their eyes was that of closeness.

'Do they think King Lin Wu…' The Club Tailed Lizard shook her head.

She carried the give small lizards and took them away. Lin Wu looked at them one last time, feeling a strange tug in his heart. He felt a little reluctant to leave, but still teleported away.

~Phew~

"That was a strange roller coaster of events…" Lin Wu muttered to himself.

"I should get back to the rest of the things." Lin Wu said, and checked the monitors. 

All of the beasts that he had called were on their way while the ones that were closer had already arrived. They were all waiting in the halls now. Though there were a few that were still missing.

"Hmm… the Mole beast seems to be a bit far away… and so is the Hook winged swan. The others are here now though, may as well call them in.." Lin Wu said.
