Chapter 143: Olive Viper King?
Lin Wu wondered if the beast that attacked the Royal court cultivators of the Ling Kingdom and the Olive Viper king was the same. He had not seen that beast’s appearance and all he had for identification was the beast carapace fragment.
‘Wait a minute… where’s that fragment now? The last I saw it was in that temple, but after that, we were moved to the courtyard so that Shirong could recover.’ Lin Wu wondered.
“System, do you have an idea where the beast carapace fragment is?” Lin Wu questioned.
The system had scanned the entire city, so he wondered if there were any traces of it in that scanned data.
~Ding~
——
ANSWER: The beast carapace fragment is in the Lu Clan. It is at the underground area that the host saw before.

“Ah, so that’s where it is. Seems like I have another reason to check it out. I wonder if the system will find some new information from the fragment.” Lin Wu muttered in his mind.
The two beasts were getting a bit nervous seeing that Lin Wu had suddenly gone silent. They couldn’t tell anything from his actions and were wondering if they had offended him somehow.
“Lord serpent?” The beetle beast said after building up a bit of courage.
“Yes? Oh yeah, we were talking.” Lin Wu snapped out of his thoughts.
“Now then… tell me more about the Olive Viper king.” Lin Wu questioned.
“Umm… what do you exactly want to know about him? His strength?” The Mole beast questioned.
“Yes, his strength, his appearance, his skills… oh and his subordinates too.” Lin Wu replied.
“As Lord Serpent heard before, the Olive Viper King is at the adolescent stage of the Nascent soul realm and is a large viper beast. The center of the back is covered with emerald green scales like that of Lord Serpent. The rest of his scales are olive green in color with his belly being brownish yellow.
As for his skills, we only know the ones he’s demonstrated before. He has a lot of raw strength and can crush rocks as if they are chalk and his defenses are also quite strong. In the few battles he had with the Twin Light Liger King, he was able to come out with barely any injuries.
While the Twin Light Liger king was not injured either, this was the first time one of the lower kings had been able to fight like this. He also has a strong venom that even the Twin Light Liger king is scared of. According to his words, no beast in this forest would be strong enough to resist the venom of the Olive Viper king.
The subordinates of the Olive Viper king are mostly his own descendants and offsprings. Though there are a few more beasts that are part of them too, but they are in minority.” The Mole beast explained in detail, afraid that if he missed something he would get slaughtered.
“That’s… quite a lot of information. Though it is good, I’m happy with this.” Lin Wu replied, which made the mole beast take a breath of relief.
‘So it seems like I can’t go up against the Olive Viper king in the near future either. Not unless I have an advantage… though I wonder if my radiation manipulation would work on it too?’ Lin Wu thought.
He had seen that while the Lu clan head was able to resist the radiation up to a certain extent, he was still affected by it and there were disturbances in his own spirit qi too. But Lin Wu’s main concern was that if the Olive Viper King obtained his power from another crystal that came from the meteor, then did he gain resistance to radiation as well.
“Looks like I’ll need to bide my time till then…” Lin Wu muttered to himself.
And just as he did this, a new notification appeared in front of him.

“Oh, finally a new quest!” Lin Wu said seeing the new window.
The system had finally found something to be worth his time and had added it as a quest. Lin Wu had also realized that the system didn’t have actual rewards that it could give to him. This was a rather big flaw in the systems quest module that he was confused about.
All the rewards that he got were nothing but his own spoils that he would obtain after fighting or completing the quest. Lin Wu had also asked the system why it was so and got the answer: ERROR!
Knowing that prodding any further would be useless, Lin Wu gave up on that aspect. He knew that the system was still restricted in its functioning, and its full potential was not yet revealed. Lin Wu would have to continue raising his cultivation base if he wanted to increase it.
~Huu~
Pushing these thoughts to the back, Lin Wu took a deep breath and decided to focus on the task at hand. He looked at the two beasts and wondered if he should eat them now that he had obtained the information he had wanted.
Unknowingly just as he thought of eating them, a change in his aura occurred and the two beasts noticed it instantly. The bloodline suppression they were feeling was rather Strong so such small changes were amplified to them.
“Lord Serpent! Please don’t kill us!” The mole beast pleaded.
“Yes, Lord Serpent, please spare us!” The beetle beast did the same.
Lin Wu was rather surprised that they had understood what he was thinking of doing. It was evident that his human side was still rather dominant and his beastly instincts were mostly hidden.
“We… we… we will become your servants, Lord Serpent!” The mole beast suddenly said after thinking a bit.
“YES!YES! I’m willing, please take us under your guidance, Lord Serpent!” The beetle beast added hurriedly.
