Rise Of The Worm Sovereign - Chapter 1077: Reaching The Gui Continent

It took Lin Wu and Tim nearly a month to travel during which they faced several storms and weather phenomena. Lin Wu also got to fight more beasts in the ocean and expanded his scope of data banks.

The regular consumption of the new beasts was replenishing his Spirit Qi stores as well as letting him obtain some new materials. He reckoned, some of the beast materials he had found would not be found elsewhere, or even if they were, their cost would be high.

After all, they were quite deep in the ocean and not many would be able to come this far.

Even for Immortal Ascension Realm cultivators, freely traveling here could be risky and they wouldn’t be that idle either. For most, breaking through to the next realm was important and they would strive to do it most of the time.

The month’s travel also gave Lin Wu some time to think about his plans.

‘Once I’m done with the Gui Continent, all that would be left is to find the Unknown beast. That should help elevate my bloodline even more.’ Lin Wu thought to himself.

And while he was doing this a vast expanse of frozen land could be seen growing larger with every second.

At first, Lin Wu was a bit unsure whether it was just an island, but now that he had gotten closer he was sure that it was his destination.

“Looks like we’re almost there Tim.” Lin Wu spoke.

“Gui Continent?” Tim asked.

“Yes. Which means more things for us to explore.” Lin Wu replied. “As well as to eat.” He didn’t forget to add the thing that mattered the most to Tim.

“YES!” Tim was easily excited.

~WHOOSH~

Unable to hold back Tim sped up, eager to reach the continent. Lin Wu did the same and quickly caught up to the Weasel.

A few minutes later, they finally landed on the coast of the Gui Continent.

“Now then, let’s see…” Lin Wu first did a visual inspection of the area around him.

Even without the system’s help, he could already sense several beasts that were living there. Most of them were weak, with the strongest beast at the Nascent soul realm. But even this beast was underwater and not on the land..

“Alright system, do a full scan.” Lin Wu ordered.

~DING~

SCANNER: Activated

SCANNING: Please wait patiently…

Knowing that the system was doing a scan of the maximum range possible for it, Lin Wu didn’t mind waiting.

“Let’s take a stroll,” Lin Wu spoke, causing Tim to follow after him.

The presence of the two beasts was enough to terrify all other beasts in the area, thus they didn’t meet any of them that wanted to fight them.

“Go catch one pair of all the beasts you can find Tim.” Lin Wu ordered the weasel.<novelsnext> I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>

“On it!” The order was pleasing for the Weasel who would never back down from a hunt.

Thirty minutes was all it took for Tim to have caught one pair of all kinds of beasts that were in the area.

“Hmm… let’s see.” Lin Wu observed the beast corpses, finding 31 unique beasts that he had never seen before. “You can take one half.” He said to Tim, who was already drooling.

~CRUNCH~

The weasel quickly jumped at the opportunity and started munching on the corpses. Lin Wu did the same, quickly adding the beasts’ raw Bloodline Data to the system. Though no new notification popped up since most of the beasts were too weak to affect him.

‘This has become a marathon now. I either need a really strange beast to give a direct improvement to the Chimeric Fiend Worm Bloodline through its Innate skills.’ Lin Wu thought. “Perhaps the Purple Crested Orchid might be the only one that helps me improve.” He muttered.

~DING~

SCAN: Completed

MAP UPDATED: Please Check the relevant window for more information.

“Finally done, eh?” Lin Wu quickly opened the map and saw a lot of new markers.

The topography of the region was displayed clearly.

While Lin Wu had some map data about the Gui Continent due to the help of the Ghost of Tian, it was still a bit rough. The data obtained by the system through its scanner was highly accurate and would be more detailed than any other maps.

Lin Wu filtered through the map markers, checking out the settlements in the area first. He had landed on the South Eastern coast of the continent, and was in the more remote parts.

“The population here is really sparse… No human settlement in this area at least. The nearest one seems to be about… seven hundred kilometers away.” Lin Wu noted.

The information provided by the Ghost of Tian was a bit lacking in that aspect, as it had mostly noted information about the major settlements. But here, Lin Mu could see smaller settlements as well that only harbored mortals or weaker cultivators.

Though in general, Lin Wu confirmed one thing.

“The people of the Gui Continent seem to be mostly split in smaller settlements. This should be what they meant by having a more clan or tribal-oriented society.” Lin Wu reckoned.

In addition to the settlements, Lin Wu also checked who was the strongest cultivator in the region.

“A Dao shell realm cultivator at the Shell Expansion stage, and two more at the Shell completion stage.” Lin Wu quickly pinpointed the cultivators that were seemingly concentrated in one area.

He ignored the other settlements, as they were spread apart and had a low population density. What Lin Wu wanted was more information and he would have a better chance of finding it in the bigger settlement.

And what better place than a city that seemed to have three Dao shell realm cultivators and several more Nascent Soul realm cultivators?

“Icy Swan City… let’s head there then, shall we?” Lin Wu decided.

Having set his destination on the map, Lin Wu and Tim continued onwards.

Icy Swan City was over 1500 kilometers from their current location though, and would take some time to reach.
