Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

The Silver Beak Sky Soar eagle nodded his head and Lin Wu's conjecture and did feel like her bloodline was threatened. Who knows how many bloodline crystals had been taken by those men in strange garbs and how many more will be taken.

Alone, she could not do much to get to those crystals and had to wait for the temples to surface. They were far too deep in the ground and even with all her strength, it was simply not possible to dig it out in a short time.

In fact, the more likely thing was that by the time she is done digging out one of the temple, another one would readily pop up. So it was better that she spend her time reaching and waiting for a temple to naturally rise up.

Though now that she had teamed up with Lin Wu, she thought that she might not have to wait for too long.

"Alright, let's head to the next place." The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle stated.

"Where is the next location that you can sense?" Lin Wu asked.

The eagle beast turned her neck to point in the northern direction.

"There? But didn't we pass by there before?" Lin Wu questioned.

"We did and there was nothing there at that time. But now I can sense something from there." The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle stated.

"Hmm… if you are able to sense it now it may mean that the temple may be about to rise up naturally." Lin Wu guessed.

The Eagle beast got tense after hearing this and thought about the men who would try to steal the crystal.

"We should hurry then… if those men try to steal my bloodline crystals I will not leave them alive!" The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle declared.

'As if you would leave them alive even without that…' Lin Wu internally said.

The two beasts then flew away in the direction that the Eagle Base had just said. Lin Wu simply followed behind her while thinking about some plans. It took them about twelve hours before they reached the location that the Eagle beast felt like had the bloodline crystal.

"We definitely did pass by here." Lin Wu said, before landing on the ground with a thud.

"So… where do you think the crystal could be?" Lin Wu asked.

The eagle beast closed her eyes for a bit before opening them. 

~shua~

She spat out a small ball of fire that shot towards a spot on the ground.

~boom~

That small fireball was enough to make a crater that was about half a meter deep in the ground. The power of the beast could be felt from this small demonstration.

"There." The Silver Beaks Sky Soar Eagle simply said.

"Umm…. Alright…" Lin Wu said and was about to dig before a thought came to his mind.

"Wait, before I go. Can you destroy all the trees nearby so that no marsh ghosts appear? If there is another Specter Skull hound in the temple, it will definitely try to heal itself with the ghosts. Last time it was still early before sunset so the ghosts had not appeared fast enough, but if its night time they will be roaming around.

Better to eliminate their hiding place beforehand." Lin Wu stated.

The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle thought about Lin Wu's words and found them to be understandable.

"Okay, I'll get rid of the trees." The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle said.

"Lemme just… get in the ground first." Lin Wu said before digging into the ground and getting to a sufficient depth.

"Alright! You can do it now!" Lin Wu shouted from the ground.

~flap~

~flap~

~flap~

~Shua~

The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle started to flap its wings as flames soon spread from it. The Vermillion flames devoured all the trees in the area of ten kilometers while drying out the marshy ground. The ponds that were nearby were completely dried out as well and nothing was left, except for ashes, and scorched earth.

~gulp~

"Okay, she's definitely beyond my control level for now." Lin Wu said to himself.

Lin Wu had actually asked the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle to use the flames for two reasons. The first was as he had stated, so that the Specter Skull hound would not be able to heal itself, while the second was that Lin Wu actually wanted to observe the flames.

Upon seeing the flames with his radiation perception, Lin Wu could tell that they were similar to the tribulation lightning on a certain level. That 'colorless' part he would see in the tribulation lightning as radiation was present in the flames of the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle as well.

"Hmm… is this something related to the Vermillion bird's bloodline or is it something else?" Lin Wu wondered.

The heat of the flames was also much higher than any flames that he had seen until now. The only flames that could probably compare to it would be the ones he had seen back when the meteor fell in the now forbidden area of the millennium forest.

Besides that, there were no flames that were as powerful as them. This only made Lin Wu more interested in the bloodline of the Vermillion bird, and he felt like he needed to get his hands on those… or his tail.

Having seen the Vermillion flames, Lin Wu started to get back to the task that he had come here for. He spent about a day digging in the ground before he was able to find the temple. This temple was much closer to the surface than the previous one, but looked the same as the two before.

"Alright… let's see what's inside." Lin Wu said before shrinking his body and opening the door of the temple.

~creek~

The trapdoor opened as dust fell from the sides, along with small stone fragments. The area that Lin Wu had dug into had a lot of boulders and rocks that he had to break through to get to the bottom.
