Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Lin Wu sensed that he could feel the position of the two servant beasts at all times. And could even tell their condition along with the amount of spirit qi they had left.

"Alright, this is done!" Lin Wu declared.

"Thank you master," The two beasts prostrated themselves before Lin Wu.

The two of them could also feel that they were much closer to Lin Wu now.

"Let's see if this works…" Lin Wu said using his communication link.

"Huh? Master, did you say something?" The mole beast suddenly said, feeling shocked.

"I head that too…" The beetle beast added.

"Yeah, now wherever you two are I can talk to you in your minds." Lin Wu said using the link again.

Now that the two beasts could hear it clearly, they knew that it truly was Lin Wu talking. They were shocked by this, as they didn't know this was something that was possible.

"Master is amazing! He can even do something like this." The beetle beast praised.

"Indeed, glory be to our master!" The mole beast said with fervor.

"Now that we know this works, time for some orders." Lin Wu stated.

"Yes, master. Please do give us your first orders." The mole beast replied.

"Your wish is my command." The beetle beast spoke.

Lin Wu had already thought of what he was going to use these beasts for. He needed someone to gather more information on the beasts here in the forest, more importantly about the Olive Viper King. Lin Wu now had the sub quest which would help him a lot and thus what else would be better than to stay a step ahead at all times.

"I want you two to obtain as much information about the Olive Viper King as you can. It would be best if you can track every movement and action of his." Lin Wu spoke.

"Obtaining information would not be a problem master, but tracking every move of his would be difficult unless someone joins under him as a subordinate." The mole beast replied after thinking a bit.

"You just need to stay in the vicinity of it and I'll figure out a method after a bit. For now, just the information would work." Lin Wu stated.

"I shall do that then." The mole beast said.

"Should I do the same, master?" the beetle beast asked.

While the ordures for the two servant beasts were the same, the beetle beast was a bit different from the mole beast and it would be more difficult for it to spy on a Ruler of the forest. The beetle beast was much bigger in size compared to the mole beast too.

"You said that one of your ancestors is a ruler of the forest, right?" Lin Wu questioned.

"Yes master, that is correct." The beetle beast answered.

"That's good. You can join under him then and obtain more information about the forest and the things that happen here." Lin Wu said.

"I can do that with no problem master. Joining my ancestor was my plan anyway, after reaching the next ring. My ancestor will also not check up on me and will simply take me under his wing." The beetle beast stated.

"Even if he does try to check for my imprint, it wouldn't be a problem. I got that covered." Lin Wu added.

"Ah, that's good then master." The beetle beast stated.

Now that everything was decided, Lin Wu felt that it was time to return.

"You can give me daily reports, and I'll also talk to you if needed." Lin Wu said before heading back to Shirong.

It had already been quite a while since he had gone out, but thankfully no disturbance had been detected by the system. This meant that the formations were working well, and no beast had approached Shirong yet. Lin Wu went back to the ground and switched to his new movement mode.

He called this the 'Drill mode' which increased his digging speed by a lot. After Lin Wu left, the two servant beasts started at each other for a minute before grunting in frustration and going on their ways. The beetle beast moved to the south eastern direction while the Mole beast went straight to the south.

While Lin Wu was drilling his way back to Shirong, he checked up on his spirit qi stores.

~Ding~

——

QI STORAGE: 7598 units [liquid spirit qi]

Making the two beasts his servants had taken a lot more spirit qi than he had expected. But this was mostly due to the multiple modifications that the system had made. If he had used the original method and had just put an imprint on the two beasts, then he would have barely used any of his spirit qi.

But not only had Lin Wu made two imprints, one on the brain and one on the core. But he also added the communication link, which was none other than the emerald green rhombus shaped gem. It was that gem that took a majority of his spirit qi to make.

Lin Wu had not told the two servant beasts about all the features of the gem. They only knew that it could be used for communication, but they didn't know that Lin Wu could track their body's condition with it as well.

Plus, there was another safety feature that was present in the gem, Self detonation. This could kill the servant beast if someone was ever able to reverse the two imprint seals on the beasts. Lin Wu knew that this was the system's first attempt at making the seals and thus it needed more data to perfect it.

The system wasn't omnipotent and its seals could be resolved by another being as long as they had the skills and also the cultivation base. Lin Wu reckoned that if someone really did try something like that, the final ability may come in handy.

The gem wasn't really connected directly to the two imprints and the beast's body and thus even if their seals were removed the gem would stay, due to being a physical item.
