Chapter 1053: The Next Continent
After a while, the final jump happened and the rock platform finally arrived in the Millennium Forest kingdom.
~HONG~
The Arrays of the tomb activated automatically, and let the rock platform land in the designated place.
Lin Wu had let them appear in a specific area for the teleportation relay. This was set out for his subordinates and other people that might be sent through the array. This was also why it was located outside of the tomb.
It was better for the security and privacy.
~RUSTLE~RUSTLE~RUSTLE~
Not even a second later, the sound of trees rustling could be heard as several strong beasts appeared.
The Leader of the Grass Mane Monkeys felt their cultivation bases with ease as they were doing little to hide it.
“Heavens… just how strong are they…” The Leader of the Grass Mane Monkeys could feel that each of these beasts was above his cultivation base.
In front of his eyes stood around eight monkey beasts, two ape beasts, two bird beasts and a single human woman.
“Welcome King Lin Wu!” everyone greeted with cupped hands.
“Mmmhmm…” Lin Wu gave a little nod before speaking. “These will be our new kin, please show them the way of our land and get them adapted to it.” He instructed.
“At once.” They replied and a few of the beasts stepped forward.
The first beast was none other than the Emeraldine Sky Light Monk ape, and along with him were a couple of Emeraldine Fur Monkeys.
“Ah! My king you’ve brought more of our brethren.” The Emeraldine Fur Monkeys spoke seeing that the beasts he brought were more monkeys.
“Yes, they are from a tribe of Grass Mane Monkey’s and were said to have been extinct a long time ago. I’ve decided to protect them and provide them a better home.” Lin Wu stated.
“Our king is as benevolent as ever.” The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk ape spoke.
The Leader of the Grass Mane Monkeys observed the ape and monkey beasts and found that they had some similarities with Lin Wu.
“Those crystals… how do you also have them?” the Leader of the Grass Mane Monkeys questioned.
The other Grass Mane Monkeys also saw the newly appeared beasts and looked at them curiously. Not only were these monkey beasts several times larger than the, they were also quite strong.
“Ahaha, don’t worry it is all the grace of our king.” An Emeraldine Fur Monkey replied. “As long as you show your worth, your tribe will also have a chance to obtain this grace.” He added.
“Indeed… though for now, it is important for you all to get settled here first. You need to grow stronger before you are able to bear the grace of our king.” The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk ape informed.
“Alright… I’ll look forward to it.” The Leader of the Grass Mane Monkeys said before he was guided away by the others.
Once they were gone, Cang Ci approached Lin Wu.
“Weren’t you going to eat them, my king?” She questioned.
“I didn’t have to. I obtained what I needed to without that.” Lin Wu said withdrawing all the corpses of the Grass Mane monkeys.
“Oh? Seems like you had some luck.” Cang Ci replied.
“Yeah, the intrusion by the people of the Hu clan made it easier for me to act. I basically didn’t need to do much and the grass mane monkeys were ready.” Lin Wu stated.
“That’s good.” Cang Ci said before looking in the direction that the Grass Mane Monkeys had gone in. “Do you have anything particular you want them to do?” she asked.
“I noticed some peculiar things about them. They have a high affinity with the wood element.” Lin Wu stated.
Hearing this Cang Ci could already guess Lin Wu’s thoughts.
“I see, I’ll get them tested and see if they are suitable to the work of taking care of spirit herbs.” Cang Ci spoke.
“Good.” Lin Wu responded. “And relating to this topic, how are the Millennium Parrot Bamboo Eggs coming along?” he questioned.
“So far none of them have hatched, but we’ve sensed some changes in a few of the eggs. Their vitality has increased in the recent days.” Cang Ci answered.
“Oh? That’s good.” Lin Wu replied. “Hopefully they can hatch soon. We’ll be able to improve our production of spirit herbs a lot more with their assistance.”
“I’ve read up about the bamboo spirits, and if we can obtain even one of them I reckon we would be able to increase our spirit herb cultivation by at least 50%.” Cang Ci informed.
“That’ll be a good gain. Make sure that they are all fine and report to me about any issues.” Lin Wu stated.
“Are you heading out already?” Cang Ci questioned.
“Yes… I’ve got another target to cover. I’ve got two so far.” Lin Wu answered.
“The Purple Crested Orchid?” Cang Ci easily guessed. “You’re ready to go to the Gui Continent?” she was a bit surprised.
“Yes… I don’t think there’s any use in waiting now. Our work on both Hu and Long continents have already become solid. The image of the Calamity Fiend is engraved into the hearts of the people, and there’s only so much that I can gain from it now.” Lin Wu replied.
“Hmm… so Gui continent is now needed for further growth.” Cang Ci held her chin. “Do you need any assistance my King? Or are you going to go alone? She questioned.
“I won’t be heading out alone this time.” Lin Wu responded.
“Oh? Who are you brining?” Cang Ci thought that Lin Wu wanted to bring an army directly this time.
“Just one… I’ll bring Tim with me.” Lin Wu answered.
“Tim? That weasel?” Cang Ci had not expected this.
“Yes… he’s improved and I’m intending to make some use of him.” Lin Wu replied.
“Very well. I wish you the best on your mission.” Cang Ci wouldn’t debate Lin Wu’s choices after all she had absolute confidence in his choices.
