Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

997 Fattening The Ticks

Kulung was stunned by the sudden fall of the Qi sapping ticks.

One must know, these ticks were very important to him and their security and safety was entrusted to him by the tenth heir. If anything happened to them, it would be his life that would be on the line.

It had already been established that the ticks were weak despite having spirit qi that was equivalent to that of a Dao Shell realm expert. They could very well die from a fall like this.

Kulung didn't even care to think of how Lin Wu had accomplished something like this. As far as he knew the ticks were kept in a secure room protected by arrays. And now they had been brought down through a crude hole.

"No! They can't be injured!" Kulung shouted in fear.

~WHOOSH~

But just when the ticks were about ten meters from reaching the ground. A swirling wind gathered under them and slowed their fall. It acted like a cushion and they gently landed on the ground.

~Phew~

"They're safe…" City Lord Kulung took a breath of relief upon seeing that the Qi Sapping ticks were fine.

~CHITTER~

The six Qi Sapping ticks chittered in confusion and fear. They had been brought here all of a sudden and were startled. Not to mention, they saw a large being such as Lin Wu standing in front of them.

To them, Lin Wu was a great beast that they had never seen before. His aura was something that was really oppressive to them and they didn't dare to make a single noise after realizing this.

Even if they had low intelligence, their instincts were enough to recognize when they were in front of a superior.

For Lin Wu too, with the time he had spent as a beast king even if it wasn't him fully acting as a king, he had already developed a kingly aura. This was something that could not be gained easily either.

Just this aura alone could prove that Lin Wu was a king.

~thud~thud~thud~

The six Qi Sapping ticks prostrated in front of Lin Wu, not daring to move at all. Their abdomens were very fat and about four meters in size. But their heads was merely fifteen centimeters wide.

Just this alone showed just how much Spirit qi they had absorbed.

"System, scan these ticks." Lin Wu ordered.

~DING~

Target: Qi Sapping ticks (Mutated)

INFO: These Qi Sapping ticks have been bred and mutated in such a way that their qi storing ability has been greatly enhanced. At that same time though, their intelligent has been inhibited so as to keep them subjugated.

——

Seeing the info, Lin Wu felt like the way the Qi Sapping ticks stored the spirit qi might be a little similar to himself. He utilized the system's storage to keep a free stock of spirit qi that could be used in a variety of ways.

'Hmm… they might serve as some useful samples.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

Even the system had marked them as highly valuable samples for the Avatar and Lin Wu knew that they were bound to give some benefit.

"But first, let's fatten them up shall we?" Lin Wu gazed at the six Qi Sapping ticks making them shiver.

~SHING~SHING~SHING~

Then in the next second, six thin needle like spikes rose from his body and gently pricked the bodies of the six ticks.

~SHUA~

A few seconds later, a wave of spirit qi rose from the six Qi Sapping ticks and their energy fluctuations started to rise rapidly. Kulung who was watching it was left stunned.

"This… how's this possible? All of them are at the equivalent of Shell Completion stage already?" he couldn't believe his eyes.

One must know, it took several months to even over a year to get the qi sapping ticks to the Shell Initiation stage of the Dao Shell realm. And raising them every minor stage up from that was very difficult and it wouldn't be unusual for it to take years after that.

Even with his efforts, he had never managed to raise a qi sapping tick to this level.

"It's not stopping?!" But the city lord saw that the spirit qi fluctuations only increased further.

And along with that, the size of the Qi Sapping ticks grew too. All of them were now six meters wide and bulged absurdly. Their legs were pulled so far up that they couldn't even walk. All they could now do was lay on their bellies and stare blankly.

"There we go," Lin Wu said after sensing that all of the Qi Sapping ticks were now at the equivalent of the Shell Expansion stage of the Dao shell realm. "Is that enough?" he asked the city lord

"Enough! Enough! That's more than enough! Anymore and they'll explode!" The man frantically said while his face turned red from the nervousness.

It wasn't just the qi sapping ticks either. He was more stunned by the way Lin Wu had done it.

'That was no trick… this creature really poured all that spirit qi into the ticks. Heavens! Just how much does it have? All that combined would be enough to make at least three to four batches of ticks.' Kulung thought to himself while his fingers curled in nervousness.

By this point, he knew that whoever he was facing, it was not a normal being. There was no way for him to estimate its cultivation base and Kulung could only hope that he survived this.

"So then, time for you to do your part." Lin Wu spoke up. "Call the tenth heir." He ordered.

"Y-yes! I'll do it right away!" Kulung said before taking out a spirit tool.

The spirit tool was in the form of a crocheting needle and had a tassel attached to it. He first walked to each of the ticks and touched them with the needle. And when he did, the bead attached to the tassel would glow lightly and a few runes would appear on them.
