Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

"All disciples split up the beasts according to your strengths. I'll handle the ones at the peak stage." The senior Nascent soul realm disciples said.

"Yes, Senior brother!" They all replied.

~ROAR!~

Unlike the Monkey beasts, the Lamp Light Ligers did not even speak anything and simply pounced on them. It was certain that they were here to kill and would not hesitate to do it.

~CLANG~

The first one to clash was of course, the senior brother. He took out a long sword and held it in front of him to block the attacks of two peak stage core condensation realm Lamp Light Ligers.

The third one though, did not attack directly, but rather circled around to jump on his back. Even if the man was at the Nascent soul realm, he had only broken through recently and was at the Infant Soul stage.

"BEGONE!" The man shouted as he pushed with all his force and knocked two of the Lamp light ligers away before spinning quickly and blocking the other one that was attacking him from the back.

~DENG~

~clang~

~boom~

Various sounds of conflict were heard as the other disciples began their battles as well. Lin Wu watched it with interest and considered it to be entertainment.

"Man, I wish I had snacks now." Lin Wu said.

~Ding~

"Huh?" Lin Wu heard a notification sound and was surprised.

In front of him, several snacks automatically appeared.

"What is this system? How did they appear here?" Lin Wu questioned.

~DING~

----

ANSWER: Since the host is viewing memories in a virtual environment, these snacks are just virtual constructs. The system can replicate the taste and texture that the hosts had felt when eating them before.

----

Hearing this, Lin Wu's expression became serious.

"Have I ever told you this system... you... are... AWESOME!!! How the heck did I not know this was possible. I would have eaten them all the time." Lin Wu said with excitement.

~DING~

----

ANSWER: This can only be simulated in the virtual space and thus the system cannot do this normally.

----

"Oh... still this is pretty nice." Lin Wu said as he took hold of all the snacks.

He had to be a bit more careful in handling them since his body was even larger than before. He had to carefully change the shape of his tail into a thin fork that he could use for it and pick up the snacks.

There were many different kinds here, including fried and grilled meats, fruits, and many more things.

~DING~

----

Suggestion: The host can simply control the snacks with his mind. This is a virtual space, there is no need for physical interaction.

----

"Whoa! That makes it even more easier." Lin Wu felt pleased.

The snacks simply floated out of the plates and serving bowls before entering Lin Wu's mouth.

"Ah~ the taste is the same. I love you system!" Lin Wu said as he enjoyed the show.

The battle lasted for about an hour at the end of which the victor was of course, the frozen clouds sect's disciples. At the start, it did seem like they were on the losing side, but Lin Wu later realized that they had come with far more preparation than he had expected.

They already knew of the unique ability of the Lamp Light ligers and were prepared for it. One by one, they used the tactics they had planned out and killed all of the Lamp Light ligers.

Of course, once the Nascent soul realm senior disciple was freed, after killing the three peak stage core condensation realm Lamp Light Liger beasts, the rest became a far more easy task.

"Wang Xiong definitely gave them a lot more help than others." Lin Wu said after seeing the battle.

He then switched the screens and saw how the rest of them were doing. He saw that other than the teams that Wang Xiong had sent, only four more teams had managed to reach the fifth ring.

And all five teams were there due to being led by Nascent soul realm disciples. In total, there were two more Nascent soul realm disciples that had come to the millennium forest.

The ones that had entered from the southern part of the millennium forest ended up clashing with insect beasts, mostly. As for the beasts that were now considered to be under Lin Wu, they didn't act unless the disciples got close to the areas where the spirit herbs were planted.

"Look! There are so many spirit herbs here!" A few disciples ended up getting close to the spirit herbs farms.

"Hang on! We can't just enter without thinking." The leader of the group said.

"Take a closer look... do you really think so many spirit herbs would be unguarded?" The leader asked while pointing at the area.

The disciples in the team observe the area closely and could see some beast marks around the area. They were mixed, and it was hard to tell which beasts they belonged to.

"Huh? Mantis beasts, Weevil beasts, Horn caterpillar beast, earth moth beast, Wood Limb Wolves, Red Tailed squirrels... there are all vastly different beasts. How are their footprints all here?" One of the smarter disciples analyzed the tracks.

The leader looked towards the disciple who had just spoken and nodded his head.

"Exactly... why would such beasts be here? That too in an area like this where everything seems normal and calm. Usually, if beasts like those meet they would just end up fighting over these spirit herbs and fruits." The leader spoke.

"Then why are these tracks here?"

"Not just that... those spirit herbs... don't you think they are planted way too symmetrically?" someone else questioned.

The disciples got a bit more close to take a look and narrowed their eyes.

"Huh... are these... plowing marks?"

"Don't tell me... were these spirit herbs planted here?" The one who had recognized the beast tracks spoke, feeling bewildered.

~TREMBLE~

Just as he said that the ground started to shake with great force.
