Chapter 138 - Sneaking Away?

Lin Wu had seen something peculiar on the map. While the map was mostly static and would only update when Lin Wu asked for it, seeing as he had a steady supply of spirit qi, he had asked the system to switch it to dynamic mode so that he could see the changes in real time.

Lin Wu felt that it would be better as there could be danger at any time seeing as they were in an incredibly dangerous forest. He had been informed by the system about a long list of dangers that were present in the forest and had also been warned about things that could harm him.

Thus even if he was with Shirong, he still kept an eye on everything.

The thing that had caught Lin Wu's eye was some changes that were happening on the map, a few tens of kilometers away from his current location. He could see that the trees were being broken as they would disappear from the map and the ground's color also changed on the map, which meant that either its depth was increased or decreased.

'Something or someone is moving things there, huh…' Lin Wu thought.

"System, can you check what's there? You can use the spirit qi.

" Lin Wu ordered.

With the steady increase in spirit qi, Lin Wu had set a certain limit on the spirit qi consumption rate of the system. As long as the consumption was below 100 liquid spirit qi units, the system could use it without his permission.

But if it went beyond that limit, the system would have to ask for his explicit permission before it could proceed further.

MAP SCANNER: Activated

MULTIPLE TARGETS DETECTED: 241 beasts, 895 Spirit beasts.

NARROWING TARGETS: 2 Core condensation realm beasts detected in the chosen area.

——

"Oh, so its caused by them it seems… are they fighting?

" Lin Wu wondered.

Lin Wu was now interested and wanted to see how other core condensation realm beasts fought like. In the entire time he had been here, he had only seen one beast that Shirong encountered. That too was killed rather quick and absorbed by him.

Lin Wu had slowly realized that while he himself was a beast, he barely had any knowledge about other beasts in this world. All that he knew was from the books and data that the system had gathered. But there was a big difference in the recorded data and the actual thing.

Even if the information about the beasts had been gathered, it had been done so by the by none other than humans. Even if humans were knowledgeable about beasts, they wouldn't have an idea of what being like a beast felt like.

Lin Wu felt like he was in a strange conflict. On one side was his human aspect which was his soul while on the other hand was his beastly Worm form. He couldn't help but feel that he was missing something, but to find out what he was missing he felt like he needed to see other beasts.

This was an innate feeling he got from the bottom of his heart and he couldn't explain it. Even the system was clueless about it and simply told Lin Wu that his condition was normal with no abnormalities.

'Hmm… should I check it out, perhaps?' Lin Wu thought to himself.

He looked at Shirong and saw that he was deep in mediation. Lin Wu used his link with Shirong through the Back door function of the system, and saw that he was fully focused on assimilating the spirit qi. In fact, he was actually half asleep and was letting his core absorb on its own now.

It was evident that constant hunting and traveling like this had taken a toll on Shirong's mind and he needed to rest his mind. While he couldn't fully sleep as it would be incredibly dangerous, he could still mediate to recover his mental energy.

These past five days Lin Wu had seen Shirong closely and knew that he would not move until the morning, or if the formations were triggered. So far no beasts had come closer to him as they were also repelled by the power of the formations.

Lin Wu knew that even if he left, there shouldn't be much of a problem.

"Hmm, system link up with the formations here and create a temporary interface.

" Lin Wu ordered.

~Ding~

ESTABLISHING LINK: Please wait patiently

LINK ESTABLISHED: Virtual interface created.

Formation Array Interface:-

1.Activate Formations

2.Deactivate Formations

——

"System, just alert me if there is a breach in the formations.

" Lin Wu ordered.

A notification sounded telling him that the command was accepted, and then Lin Wu got ready to leave.

"Hmm, I should check if everything is ready, who knows what could happen there…

" Lin Wu muttered to himself.

"System, show me the Host Data window.

" Lin Wu ordered.

He had not seen the window for a while now, and there had been a lot of updates to it. So many that he had just put them on the back and had instructed the system to only inform him of the most important ones.
