Rise Of The Worm Sovereign
463 Strength From Lice
Lin Wu had to wait for about three hours before the monkey beasts reached the Taiji Celestial's tomb. Even if it only took him just a few minutes to reach the territory of the Slim Arm ape king, it was not the same for these monkey beasts since they were only at the core condensation realm.
And Lin Wu had directly just flown over the forest to reach there quickly.
"Finally, they are here." Lin Wu said upon seeing the monkey beasts in the monitor screen window.
They were standing at the front of the entrance and looking around, confusedly. There were a couple of insect beasts that would come from time to time to put fruits in a pile, but right now there were none.
This was mostly because the Split Thorn Horn Beetle king had asked all insect beasts to gather so that they could prepare for the battle that was about to come soon. Lin Wu observed the monkey beasts and waited for them to step into the entrant of the tomb.
"System, teleport them into the third inner hall." Lin Wu ordered.
~DING~
——
TELEPORTATION FORMATION: Activated.
TARGET SELECTED: Initiating teleportation.
——
Runes suddenly appeared around the monkey beasts startling them a bit, but before they could do anything, the runes combined into the teleportation formation and took them all away, leaving behind nothing.
"Let's head there to meet them as well." Lin Wu said before disappearing into a flicker of light.
~shua~
In one of the many halls of the Taiji Celestial's tomb, a swirl of light appeared and from that Lin Wu's body materialized. There was a group of ten monkey beasts waiting there, looking around in confusion.
The white stone interiors of the Tomb were far different than what most beasts would usually see and thus they were quite intrigued. Monkeys were naturally curious animals, and it only became more amplified in the case of these monkey beasts that had become cultivators.
Their intelligence was almost the same as a human and their curiosity was also higher. Since they had not seen anything like this, they used various methods to learn what it was. They touched it, licked it, smelled it, and observed it closely.
Thus it was another shock to them when Lin Wu suddenly appeared out of thin air.
"EEK!" The monkey beasts shouted, due to being startled.
Lin Wu looked at the monkey beasts. Their specific name was actually Black Fur monkeys and they were the same kind of a monkey that Lin Wu had evolved before. The slim arm ape and these monkeys were actually quite different from each other.
After all, the slim arm ape wasn't actually a native of the millennium forest and was bought here by his master. Still, since he could be considered to be in the same category as these monkeys, they became his subordinates.
"Looks like you all are finding this place to be nice." Lin Wu spoke.
"It's different. We haven't seen a stone like this before." One of the Black Fur Monkeys said.
"Indeed. This place is perhaps the most important place in the entire Millennium forest." Lin Wu said, surprising the monkeys.
"The most important? But isn't that the central area of the forest? The Dark Bloom Caverns?" Another black fur monkey questioned.
"Even that place is linked to this tomb. Worry not, you will learn more as you spend time here. For now, we should get to work." Lin Wu replied.
"What do you want us to do?" they questioned.
"Well, there are many tasks that I want you to do, but first I think I should fulfill my promise and make you mutate." Lin Wu answered.
Hearing that they will get to mutate and grow stronger right away, they were all excited.
"Who wants to go first, then?" Lin Wu questioned.
And just as he asked this, the monkeys quickly arranged themselves into a single line.
"Oh? You guys were ready?" Lin Wu asked.
"We already competed to decide our ranks." The monkey that was in the front spoke.
"Ah, and how did you decide that?" Lin Wu questioned, "did you fight and do that?" he added.
"We decided our ranking by seeing who has the highest number of lice in their fur." The monkey in the front answered.
"Lice?" Lin Wu was confused at first and wondered if he had heard it wrong but then replaying that memory from the system, he realized they were indeed saying lice.
"You picked out ranks by seeing who has more lice infested fur?" Lin Wu asked for confirmation.
"Of course! Lice would pick only the bodies of those that are the strongest to live on!" The monkey beast at the front said while tapping his chest.
Lin Wu raised his eyes and focused a bit on the black fur monkey. His vision zoomed in like a camera and he could really see small white dots moving around the fur of the black fur monkey.
He looked at the other monkeys and they also had similar white dots moving around.
'Dammit! These monkey beasts are as dumb as monkeys.' Lin Wu thought to himself.
~Sigh~
He couldn't do much and simply shook his head.
"Perhaps mutating them may help increase their intelligence a bit more and give them wisdom too…" Lin Wu muttered to himself.
"You said something, master worm?" The monkey at the front said.
"No, nothing… let's get this started." Lin Wu said while rolling his eyes.
"Come forth," Lin Wu said, and the monkey beast obeyed.
Lin Wu then extended his tail from which a spike arose. The spike touched the head of the monkey beast and directly pierced its forehead. Though under Lin Wu and the system's control, it felt nothing but just a little pressure.
"Do your thing system, we got ten of them to go through." Lin Wu said in his mind.
~Ding~

MUTATION PROTOCOL: Initiated

This was another thing that system had made according to Lin Wu's orders and he didn't need to specifically make a rhombus gem now.
