Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Lin Wu and Yun Bai talked a bit more about the records before finally the man had a question.

"Now, where is this beast you brought with you? The weasel?" Yun Bai questioned.

Lin Wu had told him about Tim and how it had mutated in a different way. He was hoping to see if a long lived demon beast like Yun Bai would have some insight into it as it would certainly help the system too.

"Ah yes, let me see where he is. He's out hunting… because he's hungry all the time." Lin Wu said as he opened the map and tracked the location of Tim.

"Oh? He's not that far." Lin Wu realized.

His spirit sense quickly extended and went to touch Tim, who was currently munching on a couple of beast carcasses. 

~KIII!~

Tim was a bit startled by the spirit sense suddenly arriving, but then recognized it. He looked at the corpses and back at the source of the spirit sense, as if debating on something internally.

~MUNCH~MUNCH~MUNCH~

Making up his mind, he continued eating and ignored the beckoning.

Lin Wu who saw this, could only sigh.

"Give him a minute, he'll be here." Lin Wu said, and Yun Bai nodded.

And just as he had said, a minute later, the sound of rapid steps could be heard and the wind rushed towards them.

~KIIII~

Tim came to a stop beside Lin Wu and looked at the newcomer in front of him.

"New food?" Tim questioned, making Yun Bai frown.

"No, not food. He's an ally. He will help us." Lin Wu answered.

"Ally?" Tim questioned, while tilting his head in thought.

"Okay. No food. Ally Bring food." Tim replied.

~Sigh~

"Ugh, this kid…" Lin Wu couldn't help but shake his head.

"Ahaha," Yun Bai couldn't help but chuckle, either.

"You were not exaggerating that all he thinks about is food." Yun Bai said.

"Indeed. His physique is… rather unique, to say the least. I don't know how he mutated like this and can't really tell what bloodlines he has dormant in his body either." Lin Wu stated.

Hearing this, Yun Bai stroked his beard and thought of something.

"Hmm… you said he was a Copper hide weasel before?" Yun Bai asked.

"Yes. When I originally met him, he was a copper hide weasel that had eaten an Aquadream Pond Lotus whole and had reached the Nascent soul realm." Lin Wu replied.

"An Aquadream Pond Lotus!?" Yun Bai repeated, finding it absurd.

"Yeah, that was why he broke thought so quickly. But I have no idea how it even managed to eat a beast one whole realm higher than him." Lin Wu replied.

"That is indeed strange. While there are indeed beasts that are naturally stronger than others when comparing their cultivation base, the same does not happen for a Copper Hide Weasel and a Aquadream Pond Lotus.

The Aquadream Pond lotus, in every aspect, is superior to that of a Copper Hide Weasel." Yun Bai said after thinking.

"Are you sure that was all that happened?" he asked, continuing.

"I can't tell that either. The beast is, as you can see… of a low intelligence. It is barely over fifty years old and has certainly not gained enough intelligence. Which is strange as intelligence should increase with their cultivation base." Lin Wu replied.

"Seems like there might have been some defect in him." Yun Bai said before he tried to probe Tim with his spirit sense but was unable to.

"His defenses are certainly impermeable to spirit sense. That Earthen Depths obsidian fur and skin are something that no beast should be able to have." Yun Bai said.

"Which is why he is interesting. There is no way any normal Copper hide weasel should have been able to do something like this. He is strong but at the same time he's dumb." Lin Wu added.

"I see…" Yun Bai responded, thinking something to himself.

"Considering many other beasts that I've known of and heard of, this weasel certainly comes out on top seeing its apparent talent. I would like to see what secrets are hidden in his body." Yun Bai stated.

"And I'm guessing you have some way of doing that?" Lin Wu questioned.

"I do indeed. There is a certain tool called the 'Ten thousand bloodline pedestal' in my clan. It is originally a tool that beast tamers and traders used to check the bloodlines of beast so that they can get an accurate price and asses them.

We can use it to check what bloodlines this weasel has. Though it cannot analyze every bloodline in the world, it can point to the closest released bloodline from its storage." Yun Bai answered.

"Oh? There's something like that?" Lin Wu said, finding it rather interesting.

"So, will you want to see that?" Yun Bai asked.

"Of course!" Lin Wu said in agreement. "Lead the way." 

"Alright then, follow me. My clansmen are a bit afraid of humans." Yun Bai said.

"But I'm a beast." Lin Wu replied.

"Yeah, a big beast. A big Dao Shell realm beast." Yun Bai stated.

"Oh… yeah… makes sense." Lin Wu said, finding it obvious now that he thought of.

His presence and aura were enough to terrify most beasts and humans alike. Thus he couldn't tell why it would not be the same for the Frost Fox Demon beasts either. 

Still, he was looking forward to seeing Yun Bai's clansmen, since it just meant more data for the system. Yun Bai was an outlier of his clan and was the only one who had his bloodline restrictions eased due to the contract with the founder of Frozen Cloud sect.

Plus, he was also the more talented member of his clan and thus was the strongest of them all, making him their patriarch.

Lin Wu wanted the system to scan and check if the restrictions of the world presented in some way on the other clan members.. His agreement with Yun Bai was to help him leave this world and this was a point he would have to consider in that.
