Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Upon hearing that his venom was the most corrosive, such that even the Olive viper king was harmed by it, Lin Wu wondered if it would work on his body. His bloodline allowed him a higher resistance to heat, cold and corrosive substances.

But he still didn't know if it would work on something that was likely influenced by the same bloodline as him.

'Hmm… he should have probably mutated like the other beasts. I don't know if he had the unknown bloodline too though… that thing is still an enigma.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

He thought for a bit before an idea came to him.

"Is there any way you can get some of the venom of the Olive Viper King?" Lin Wu questioned.

"That's impossible! No one will want to come near it, not to mention it even destroys the earth if it spills on it. There is no way we can collect it." The Beetle king denied.

Lin Wu wanted a sample of the venom so that the system would be able to analyze it and check for an anti-venom. Though Lin Wu had a hunch that the venom really may not be as effective against him.

'Perhaps the reason why that venom is so corrosive is due to radiation as well. If it is, then it would make sense. Looks like I need to take a look around the millennium lake then.' Lin Wu thought.

"What do you think are the weaknesses of the Olive Viper king?" Lin Wu questioned.

"That is a tough thing to answer. Overall, he is quite tough and while he can be hurt by others, the power needed is quite a lot. Though… the Olive Viper king does need to rest and eat a lot.

Without regular feeding and rest, he becomes sluggish. In fact, the reason why we were able to end our previous fight with him was that he had become tired and decided to retreat." The beetle king answered.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wu's mind instantly went to when he had first acquired the bloodline. The consumption of his innate skills was quite high and if he did not have the support of the system and the extra storage of spirit Qi it provided, he may not have been able to keep up.

'Hmm… so he suffers from the same problem. Or… since he has progressed three stages of the Nascent Soul realm in just two years, it is likely that he has been using a majority of his spirit Qi to progress his cultivation, that may be the reason why he tires out easily.' Lin Wu hypothesized.

"Alright, this should be enough for now. I'll tell you more later." Lin Wu said before extending his tail forward and creating another one of the flat plates he had made for Wang Xiong.

"What's this?" The beetle king asked.

"You must know how the human cultivators communicate using jade slips right? This is similar to that, you can talk to me with this. Just use your spirit sense and it will connect to me." Lin Wu answered.

The beetle beast was rather fascinated by this. He had seen a lot of human cultivators use those jade slips and he even had some of them lying around in his nest somewhere among remains of humans.

Most of the beasts were unable to use the spirit tools of humans and thus only kept them with them, as trophies and trinkets. But now the beetle king was getting the chance to use one himself.

"How did you make this?" the beetle king asked after picking up the emerald green slip with his spirit sense since it had no hands and the jade skip was too small for him.

"Just think of it as one of my innate abilities." Lin Wu replied.

"This is marvelous… I've never seen any beast that could replicate the things of humans." The beetle beast said after using the communication slip.

His voice was heard in the head of Lin Wu and he could hear Lin Wu in his head too. 

"Now you don't need to send messengers to talk to me and this will be much quicker." Lin Wu said.

"Ooo!" The beetle king let out a strange sound that could only be compared to a child's wonder.

Lin Wu was just about to leave when he was stopped by the beetle king.

"Wait! When will you be going to talk with the Slim arm ape king?" The beetle king questioned.

"Hmm… soon enough. Why? Do you want to come too?" Lin Wu replied.

"Yes. It would be better if both of us go. While that beast is relatively calm, he is not without danger. He is clever like those humans and even has some dealing with them." The beetle king spoke.

"Oh? He does? That's interesting… looks like I need to meet him soon." Lin Mu said and took a pause. "I'll inform you when I go there then, through the communication slip." Lin Wu replied.

"Alright, I'll wait for it. In the meantime, I'll pick out the subordinates who are strong and have good potential for you to make them stronger." The beetle king reminded.

Lin Wu nodded his head, before digging into the ground and disappearing. The beetle king watched as Lin Wu soon went away, judging from the vibrations in the ground.

"He really is a worm, huh… he looks quite a lot like a snake though." The beetle king said before turning back to his nest.

The subordinates of the beetle king had all be standing far from them, not daring to come close. If even the beetle king was wary of Lin Wu's bloodline aura, then the other beasts that were weaker than him, were straight-up trembling in their places.

"What do we do now, my king?" The aide of the beetle king questioned.

"Call all of your kin and our subordinates. Tell them they will have a great opportunity to get stronger and perhaps even increase the potential of their bloodlines." The beetle king said in an imposing voice.
