Chapter 161: Fight For The Fifth Seat?
Lin Wu looked at the new markers that had appeared on the map and knew that he was gonna have a great time.
‘Looks like the beasts capturing more territories will work in our favor. They are pretty much serving themselves to us on a silver platter. We just have to make sure that we are not overwhelmed by a large group of them.’ Lin Wu thought to himself.
“Let’s point Shirong in the right direction…” Lin Wu muttered to himself and sent a few thoughts through his connection with Shirong.
The first thought was of ‘hunger’ and the other was of ‘go’. Shirong halted in his steps as soon as he felt the Immortal Crystal Armament communicate with him.
“So even you cannot hold back it seems… HAAHAH! Let’s get to it then!” Shirong laughed before following the feeling of the Immortal weapon.
Lin Wu would point him in the direction of the nearest beast and Shirong would track them with his spirit sense. At first, they were a bit slow as Shirong was not fully used to this kind of cooperation but after a while, they made a working method.
Lin Wu merely had to suggest a direction, and Shirong’s spirit sense would be ready to extend. And by moving in that direction for a bit, they would end up finding the spirit beasts. A majority of these beasts were at the core condensation realm, but there were also a few that were at the Qi refining realm.
The thing with the Core condensation realm was that they did not hunt in the fifth ring normally. Instead, they would go out to the outer rings to hunt and then come back to their territories. This was there was a harmonic influx and efflux of beasts among the rings.
But now with the beasts expanding their territories they were keeping to the fifth ring, making it easier for Lin Wu and Shirong.
They hunted a myriad of beasts. They had scales, feathers, furs, claws, and horns, but all of them died to the Immortal weapon that was Lin Wu. Shirong was also improving his understanding of the new weapons skill he was developing and thus increasing his own capabilities.
Two days had passed swiftly and in this time they had already hunted about 108 Core condensation realm beasts. Though a majority of them were at the early stage of the core condensation realm and only two out of all reached the late stage of the core condensation realm.
For some reason, no Peak stage core condensation realm beasts could be found now.
‘So that encounter two days ago with the Lamp Light Ligers was indeed unusual.’ Shirong thought to himself.
Lin Wu did not have this doubt as he was being informed in real time about what was happening in the depths of the forest, near the edge of the fifth ring and the start of the sixth ring. The beetle beast was already living at the border of the sixth ring, while the mole beast had finally figured out a way to continue onward while hiding.
The mole beast had particularly gotten in a few conflicts but was able to escape due to his digging skills. Both of them would give him daily updates and Lin Wu found out from that the great disturbance in the forest would be calming down soon as most of the bigger and advantageous territories had already been captured by the subordinate beasts of the four rulers.
Because the Silver Beak Sky Soar eagle had left the forest, now only four positions were left and no contender was yet to appear that could replace the position of the eagle king. In order to be a ruler, the beast had to be a Nascent soul realm at the very least.
Usually, if a beast reached the nascent soul realm, they would have to battle with one of the rulers of the millennium forest to take over their territory. But now the position was already empty and for the taking; with the only requirement being a cultivation base of Nascent soul realm.
Of course, the current four rulers did not want to let go of this opportunity and wanted to appoint one of their offsprings or a subordinate to the position. As long as even one of their subordinates reached the Nasser Soul realm, they would have the chance to capture two seats.
After all, even if their subordinate beast became a ruler they would still be under the influence of their brand.
“How’s the hunt for the blood of the Twin Light Liger King going?” Lin Wu questioned the mole beast.
“Even though I’ve gotten closer master, there doesn’t seem to be much of a chance there. The Twin Light Liger beast is staying in his den and does not leave. Only his subordinates have been prowling the area.” The mole beast answered.
“Hmm… I see. And what about the Olive Viper king?” Lin Wu questioned again.
“The Olive Viper king returned back to his nest to recover. He apparently got injured in one of the fights for territory.” The mole beast answer.
“He did? Who caused that?” Lin Wu questioned.
“Apparently it wasn’t caused by another beast, but by himself. He was killing a large number of beasts at once and used an attack that injured even his own body.” The mole beast explained.
“Ah… I see.” Lin Wu responded.
It became silent for a minute before the mole beast spoke again, “do you want to ask anything else, master?”
“Umm… oh yeah! You said that the current four rulers want to make one of their subordinates or descendants the fifth ruler, right? So which one of the four rulers have the highest chance to do that?” Lin Wu questioned.
“That is a complex thing to answer. The Twin Light Liger King has the most amount of subordinates that are in the Peak stage of the core condensation realm, but they are still not ready to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.
Only one of the rulers has a subordinate that is close to that… the slim arm ape.” The mole beast revealed.
