Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 885 Start Of Chaos

While the lords of Tieba city scrambled to gather information about the new monster that had appeared, the monster in question was having a meal.

<strong>~CRUNCH~</strong>

<strong>~CRACK~</strong>

"Hmm… these beasts sure are crunchy." Lin Wu said and picked up another fried meatball.

The meatball in question was golden brown and emitted faint streams of steam, while a tantalizing aroma spread from it. It was made from the mixed mince meat of the many beasts that lived in the tomb that Lin Wu had taken over.

Of course, he had not consumed all of them together and had actually kept their corpses for later.

'Still, it seems like they took the bait. The plan went decently…' Lin Wu thought to himself as he gazed at the screen in front of him.

The screen showed the recording of the discussion among the lords of Tieba city.

~GULP~

Swallowing the last meatball, Lin Wu took a sip of some spirit fruit juice. Though his sip was more like few barrels of it at once.

"Ah~ That hits the spot!" Lin Wu said in pleasure.

He was pleased with the cooking abilities of his servants and they were developing decently. Before leaving he had taken a lot of food with him and he was yet to taste all the things they had made.

Not wanting to finish it all at once, Lin Wu decided to taste some everyday little by little. As for the meatballs that he had eaten just now, they were made by himself.

"Shame, that they didn't trigger Chimeric Adaptation." Lin Wu muttered after seeing the lack of a notification.

Evidently, the beasts he had eaten weren't good enough to trigger the innate skill. But even then, there was still a fractional improvement in his abilities. It might be minute, but with continual accumulation, it would eventually become a big number.

Every little bit counted, especially when they applied to someone Lin Wu.

What was a fractional increase for him very well might be a major breakthrough for others.

? Having a bloodline with great potential might make him strong, but it also made improvement a lot harder at the same time. It could already be seen from the large amount of spirit Qi he needed for his breakthrough.

If it were any other beast or most humans that had the talent to cultivate to his level, they would need at most a quarter of the amount that Lin Wu needed. Only those with special cultivation techniques or unique bloodlines and physiques might need any more than that.

Regardless of this all, Lin Wu didn't mind the extra effort and was satisfied for now.

"But I'll be a lot more satisfied when things go according to the plan… hehe~" Lin Wu said with a laugh and moved.

Withdrawing his body, he drilled deeper into the ground and left Tieba city.

"I have to fulfill my promise, after all. Wonder how well the two kingdoms have prepared." Lin Wu muttered while moving at a great speed.

There was already a tunnel that had been dug to the border of the Zhan kingdom, thus Lin Wu covered it in less than a day. After that point, he had to dig more, but it still took less than half a day for him to reach the main area of the Zhan kingdom.

Even with its size, the Zhan kingdom wasn't actually that populated. Most of its area was filled with wilderness and most of its settlements were concentrated in the south western part.

The area that Lin Wu had covered in this time basically had no human settlements, not even villages. This was because the area was simply filled with numerous beasts. This was good for Lin Wu as he also got to restock his supply of meat.

Additionally, his goal of finding different kinds of beasts was also going well. Even if a beast might be weak, as long as it was of a different species or bloodline, Lin Wu would consume it.

But his main course was still going to be the humans for now.

'This'll be a good harvest. Maybe it'll be just enough for a breakthrough.' Lin Wu thought to himself as he read the scan data on the screen in front of him.

He was currently underneath a small city that was the outermost city of the Zhan kingdom. There were some villages around it, but Lin Wu couldn't be bothered to target it for now.

"Besides, I need some witnesses to spread the tale." Lin Wu reckoned.

The small city didn't have much in terms of wealth, but it certainly had a lot of cultivators in it. Perhaps because it was the outermost city that was next to the dense forest, all the experts that wanted to go out for hunting rested here.

The strongest expert here was merely in the nascent soul realm and was nothing to Lin Wu at this point.

"Let's begin then, shall we?" Lin Wu said as he found the best spot to start the havoc.

In the city, the residents were going about their day, unaware of the calamity that was about to befall them.

"Fruits for sale! Fruits for sale! Get three for twenty coppers!"

"The best body tempering manuals in the Zhan kingdom, they've been made by a secluded expert and are guaranteed to let you reach the tenth stage in less than a decade!"

In a busy market square, the merchants and vendors called out their wares, trying to attract customers.

~CRASH~

~SHATTER~

"THE HELL! I just got that porcelain vase! How will you compensate me for this?" A woman screamed at the young man who had just stumbled into her.

"This wasn't my fault! The road in this shitty city is uneven!" The young man didn't fear the woman at all and simply shifted the blame.

"HUMPH! Don't even try to give an excuse, if you don't compensate me—" but just as the woman was arguing with the young man, she stumbled.

~thud~
