Chapter 1008: Investigation Site
A few days had passed since Lin Wu had suppressed Hu Dagao.
Third Yun city had mostly recovered in this time and the people had also returned to their normal life. With Kulung acting personally, there were no issues of the people being troublesome.
Thus Lin Wu got to spend a relatively ‘peaceful’ time in the city. Of course, he was hidden in the cave that he had made underground and was basically planning for the coming events. He had gotten to understand more about the Qi Sapping Ticks and had also consumed one of them.
The system had added the raw bloodlines data for it and Lin Wu had also preserved the rest of the Qi Sapping ticks for the Avatar. It was bound to help his Dao Embryo.
“This should be enough for now. I don’t think I can do anything more, the rest can only be executed.” Lin Wu muttered to himself.
He then contacted Kulung and Hu Dagao, summoning them back in the cave.
In just a minute, both of them had rushed back to the cave.
The past few days had been anxiety inducing for Hu Dagao and he had always been worried about what Lin Wu would tell him next. But as more days passed, and he wasn’t contacted, he started to feel if he was forgetting or something.
But now that he had finally called him, the anxiety had returned.
“You called for us, Senior?” Hu Dagao and Kulung said in a nervous tone.
“Mmhmm, it is now time to leave.” Lin Wu said plainly.
“L-Leave?” Hu Dagao stuttered.
“Yes, leave. I am done with my tasks here. It is now time we head onwards.” Lin Wu said while looking at the two. “Hu Dagao will come with me, while Kulung will continue to stay here. You will contact me if there is any unexpected news.” He ordered.
“Y-yes senior.” Kulung had no objections to it.
“Where are we going though, Senior?” Hu Dagao questioned.
“The place that you were investigating.” Lin Wu answered. “You haven’t finished it officially right?” he asked.
“No… I rushed here after hearing about the Qi Sapping ticks, so I never even finished the investigation. The initial report has not been sent either.” Hu Dagao replied quickly.
“Good. It’ll make things easier for me.” Lin Wu was intending to see the suspected Spatial Disturbances.
He wanted to see just what is it that could make something like this happen, and if he could make use of it somehow.
‘At the very least, it will be good for the system.’ Lin Wu thought to himself.
The two of them left directly by flying out. This time Lin Wu didn’t need to worry about anyone seeing them since they array around the mansion had been upgraded by him. The illusory array could prevent anyone from seeing the scene inside the array making it easier for all of them.
“Now then, where is the location exactly?” Lin Wu questioned his new servant.
“I-I’ll guide you, Senior!” Hu Dagao flew ahead.
He didn’t want to make Lin Wu waste his time, so tried to be as fast as possible. Lin Wu easily kept up with him, flying just a short distance behind him.
Still, if someone saw the scene, they would surely thing that Lin Wu was chasing down Hu Dagao to eat him. His body was simply too massive compared to Hu Dagao, and it looked like a hill was flying across the sky.
With the two of them flying at maximum speed, they reached the site of investigation in less than ten hours. Lin Wu could have technically reached here faster, but he took his time as he could still hunt some beasts on their path.
Even if Hu Dagao got far, Lin Wu was able to catch up with him whenever. This helped him collect more data and beasts for the avatar for later. All the beast corpses were stored in the storage and the number had now reached over three hundred.
All of these were unique beasts, and Lin Wu wanted as much variety as possible.
He also collected some rare materials and spirit herbs that were detected on the path, but there weren’t as many of them. Especially the ones that could still help the avatar in improving its Dao Embryo.
~THUD~
Lin Wu’s massive body landed on the ground, creating a depression on it. Hu Dagao landed not that far from Lin Wu and was a bit tense.
“Hmmm… you said you investigated this place a bit before right?” Lin Wu questioned.
“Y-yes. I had come here for about a day before I was contacted by Kulung about the ticks.” Hu Dagao hurriedly answered.
“And what were your observations in that one day?” Lin Wu asked next.
“None. I didn’t find anything in that time. The Spatial Detection tools that the clan provided me haven’t sensed anything yet.” Hu Dagao replied.
“Oh? Interesting…” Lin Wu looked at the area which looked relatively mundane.
It was usually calm and there didn’t seem to be any signs of a battle either.
‘Looks like a normal forest with some hills…’ Lin Wu first used his spirit sense to check the area, but didn’t detect anything usual.
“System, scan the area in detail.” Lin Wu ordered next.
~DING~

Seeing the scan results, Lin Wu quickly switched over to the map.
There were a few markers on it, that were designating the locations of the spatial disturbances.
‘These seem to be very faint… no wonder they couldn’t be detected easily.’ Lin Wu realized before looking at Hu Dagao. “Take your the spatial detection tool that your clan gave you.” He ordered.
“Y-yes!” Hu Dagao didn’t question it and took out what looked like a small bead.
“Come with me,” Lin Wu took Hu Dagao six kilometer away from where they were.
And upon reaching there, Hu Dagao felt the bead in his hand tremble.
