Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 65 - Whale?



Six people were currently flying through a forest on swords. They were none other than Shirong, Ye Dai, Bei Wen, the head guard and two additional guards. Shirong and his two followers were flying slower than their normal speed, pretending to show that they were injured, which they actually were, but not as much as they were exaggerating.

Shirong had been able to hoodwink the guards by paying a large price, which was none other than the destruction of a peak grade teleportation talisman. His heart was aching with regret but he knew that it was necessary and that one thing may have saved him from potential death.

Even while flying, he was thinking of what to do next. Before leaving the forbidden zone he had a plan in his mind, but it was soon messed up because of a few things. The main one being the capabilities of the guard. Their numbers and resources were completely different than he had been informed of.

Meanwhile, Lin Wu was still observing the entire thing from inside the spatial storage ring. He had a connection with Shirong through his spirit sense and was thus able to see everything that was happening outside, at least up to a certain limit.

Lin Wu could only see and hear the things that were in the range of Shirong's spirit sense and thus if he intended or contracted it, the sensing range would change for Lin Wu as well.

~Sigh~

"I'll need to find a better way to see things on the outside. While the system can help me out for the most part, I still need to learn to do stuff myself." Lin Wu muttered to himself.

They had been flying for about ten minutes now and had gotten quite a distance from the guard outpost. But even now there did not seem to be any city in their sights. Lin Wu wondered how far it exactly was, as the last time he remembered the system had told him that the nearest city, the Deer wood city was a couple of hundred kilometers from his location.

But that information was quite only, and Lin Wu had changed his position many times from then. From all he knew, he could potentially be even farther from that place. Lin Wu was now starting to get bored, thus decided to see the items that were in the ring.

"There should be some good stuff in here that I can stea… uh, borrow. Yes, borrow." Lin Wu said before floating to the items.

The system had established a virtual ring interface function, which allowed Lin Wu to leave and enter the ring at will. While this was one of the primary uses of the function, there were additional things that may be possible as the system increased its understanding.

It being able to make a function like this so quick was already quite enough.

Lin Wu relaxed his body and the interlocking spurs loosened, allowing him to become lithe again. He still kept the shape he had formed as he wanted to be able to return to the form in a jiffy if he was ever summoned outside the ring by Shirong.

This way he could simply tighten the spurs and they would interlock again in less than a second. The system would tell him when he was going to be summoned anyway and could even delay the process by taking advantage of the fact that Shirong thought he was a pseudo immortal tool.

Lin Wu moved his body similar to swimming and moved over to the items that were floating around in the ring. There were a ton of them and around half of the ring had been filled. Lin Wu could see mundane and everyday items like clothes, pans, brushes, all the way to precious items like alchemical pills and spirit stones.

Although Lin Wu had not seen any alchemical pills or spirit stones until now, the system still had the information in its data banks from the data nodes that it had absorbed. Not to mention that Lin Wu could feel the spirit qi fluctuation coming off of the items.

Lin Wu first came to a pouch that was floating near him and looked into it, finding hundreds of fingernail sized translucent white stones kept in them.

"System, scan them." Lin Wu ordered.

~Ding~

——

SCANNING TARGET: Completed

TARGET IDENTIFIED: Low grade spirit stones, quantity:600

——

"Oh, so this is what the spirit stones look like, huh?" Lin Wu muttered as he looked around the ring.

There were about twenty more similar looking pouches floating around the ring and all of them were exuding spirit qi from them.

'Are these all spirit stones? Only one way to find out…' Lin Wu thought before ordering the system to scan them all.

Soon Lin Wu got an estimate of all the spirit stones that were present in the ring. And he was shocked, to say the least after seeing it.

"Hot damn! Seems like I caught a whale!" Lin Wu exclaimed, with imaginary money symbols appearing in his eyes.

According to the system's calculation, there were-

Nine thousand low grade spirit stones.

Two thousand three hundred mid grade spirit stones.

And finally, Fifty four high grade spirit stones.

It was an extremely large fortune if Lin Wu counted them as liquid spirit qi units. But even then, that was not the end of it. There were far more things that were exuding even stronger spirit qi fluctuations.

Lin Wu was of course curious and like a nosy gold digger, started to check every single item. At one point he got bored of scanning all the items one by one and wondered if there was a more efficient way to do it.

"System, can you just scan the entire ring all at once?" Lin Wu questioned.

~Ding~

——

ANSWER: Scanning the entire ring is possible.

NOTIFICATION: Should the system scan the entire ring? Y/N

——

"Scan all the items and tell me what is the most precious thing and the most powerful thing here." Lin Wu ordered, feeling excited.
