Rise Of The Worm Sovereign - Chapter 1090: Bale Dread Valley

While Lin Wu and Tim were flying towards the Bale Dread Valley, a few thoughts were going through the crystalline worm’s mind.

‘That meteor that hit the unknown beast… just what was it?’ Lin Wu wondered.

None of the Gui Clan members nor the Gui Spirit seemed to have an idea about it. And when Lin Wu checked the recordings from the clan’s formation arrays, he too could not tell much.

Even the system’s analysis was a failure, as there was simply not enough information to go off on. At most the system, simply guessed that the meteor might have been a strong Qi skill that struck the unknown beast.

“Am I not the only one that’s hunting it?” Lin Wu questioned himself.

But he didn’t know who else could be strong enough to hunt that beast, not to mention have a reason to do so. And whoever they were, they had managed to track down the unknown beast faster than he and the system.

The latter was what surprised Lin Wu the most.

‘The mystery only gets deeper…’ Lin Wu thought to himself. “Regardless of that though, I have to be prepared.” He stated.

The power of the unknown beast was certainly great and Lin Wu did not wish to take any chances. As such, he decided to use all his power which meant using the avatar and fusing it with his main body.

After an hour of travel, Lin Wu finally met his avatar and merged it with his main body.

~RUMBLE~

The combination of the two bodies created waves of power, that made the entire area tremble.

lightsnοvεl “This should be enough to fight the beast…” Lin Wu said, his voice crackling with sparks.

Energy stirred within his crystalline body and could be seen in the form of several colors that coursed through it.

It was as if a rainbow was flowing through Lin Wu’s body, with each color being a type of Qi and more energies mixing together.

This was the peak of what was possible for Lin Wu to use.

With the two bodies fuse, Lin Wu was now ready to fight the beast and sped up even more.

~BOOM~

The air was ripped apart, as Lin Wu boosted his speed to the very maximum. He couldn’t wait to fight the beast he had been hunting for since the start. It was an old quest and today he was going to finish it at all costs.

A while later, Lin Wu finally reached the location of the Bale Dread Valley. Of course, the valley didn’t look like a valley at all and simply looked like a flat ice field.

But below all that snow, there was a thick layer of ice that had been created by the Gui Spirit.

“Hmm… I can’t look below it. This is definitely the right place.” Lin Wu said after observing with his Radiation perception.

Having confirmed that Lin Wu landed on the ice sheet and began drilling into it.

~SIZZLE~

He used fire Qi and also some of his radiation to heat up the ice, letting his tail drill through it with ease. Even if it was a skill that had been used by the Gui Spirit, it had long since weakened without constant maintenance by the beast.

Lin Wu quickly made large enough hole and entered the Bale Dread Valley. Tim followed behind him through the hole and was rather curious about it all.

“WAIT!” Lin Wu quickly stated, upon looking at the valley. “Tim, you’ll have to stay out of here.” He said in a serious tone.

“Why?” Tim was confused.

“This area… it isn’t filled with Baleful Energy… it is filled with radiation!” Lin Wu finally realized why the Gui spirit found it so dangerous too.

The spirit had confused heavy radiation with Baleful energy, but that was understandable as their effects often overlapped.

“The area will weaken you if you enter.” Lin Wu stated. “Stay outside, and attack if the beast tries to escape.” He added.

“Okay…” Tim decided to go with Lin Wu’s instructions.

Lin Wu proceeded alone and got a proper look at the valley.

There was no vegetation here, and neither was there any ice or snow. The area was hot despite there being no fire. It was just a constant radiant heat that was coming from glowing yellow crystals that were jutting out of the base of the valley.

Looking at the yellow crystals, Lin Wu was sure they were not from this world. n))OIn

~DING~

SCANNER: Activated

SCAN: Completed!

TARGET IDENTIFIED: Yellow Bale Melt Crystals

INFO: A very dangerous crystal often found in meteorites and has heavy radiation and other corrosive energies. Wherever it lands, it can turn the area into a wasteland as well as harm all those that live there.

NOTE: The Yellow Bale Melt Crystal are harmless to the host.

“Guess there are other things like this that contain radiation along with baleful energies too… Seems like the Gui Spirit wasn’t exactly wrong.” Lin Wu muttered to himself. “Now where is that beast?” he looked around.

For that beast to be here, Lin Wu knew it was because of these crystals. It was possibly consuming radiation which also made it simple for Lin Wu to find it.

~shua~

He simply activated his radiation perception and followed the flow of Radiation in the air. It was moving to the back of the valley, which was going toward a depression. As Lin Wu got closer, it didn’t take much for him to realize that this was made artificially.

“This was definitely dug out…” Lin Wu narrowed his eyes as he looked at the dark depths of a hole.

All the radiation was flowing out of the crystals and flowing down the hole.

“Well… Time for sleeping beauty to wake up.” Lin Wu said and opened his mouth.

~HONG~

Nearly twenty percent of Lin Wu’s energy stores were activated and gathered in his mouth. An orb of iridescent energy formed, which contained all the elemental qi that Lin Wu possessed.

“Let’s see how you like a Radiation Cocktail!” Lin Wu fired a beam down the hole.
