Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Lin Wu and Tim continued towards the Wide Crag Kingdom and arrived at its border in just half an hour.

Even from here though, the two of them could see the main part of the kingdom.

"So that's the Wide Crag Kingdom… truly accurate to its name." Lin Wu muttered.

The Wide Crag Kingdom was one of the smallest kingdoms in the Long Continent and it was only composed of one main city that was also the capital, along with several small towns and villages.

Far in the distance, Lin Wu could see the Wide Crag Kingdom's Capital: Cragfall.

It was located right next to the ocean and was built along the edge of a long cliff. The cliff spanned for over twenty kilometers and the city was also spread in a longitudinal manner. On the other side of the cliff, there was the crashing waves, while on another there were snowy plains.

"Scan the area, system." Lin Wu ordered right away, wanting to see what kind of powers were there in it.

He had once suspected that the Weiyuan Pavilion might be involved in this, but hadn't come across anything so far. But he still wished to be careful, and wanted to see if there were any hidden powers in the Wide Crag kingdom.

~DING~

Lin Wu saw several new markers popping up on the map, showing the different cultivators that were present in the Cragfall city. Their numbers weren't that high, being less than three thousand while the strongest among them was merely at the Adolescent Soul Stage of the Nascent soul realm.

"That might be the king." Lin Wu muttered, seeing that the Nascent soul realm expert was located in the largest building in the city.

"Let's check it out from a bit closer." Lin Wu continued onwards, while Tim followed along with him.

After traveling for a couple of kilometers, the city became clear to them. After all, the constant snowfall was making it hard to see things.

There, Lin Wu could finally see the so-called royal palace of the Wide Crag Kingdom.

"This royal palace is smaller than the mansions of several common nobles…" Lin Wu was a bit surprised. 'But then, considering the condition of this kingdom, it makes sense it's a bit low quality.' He thought.

~Eek~

While Lin Wu was observing the Cragfall city though, Tim seemed to have found something else. He raised his head and stood on two legs while looking around. His whiskers shifted a few times before he locked onto a certain location and burst forward.

"Now where's here going?" Lin Wu sighed.

He was just about to go after Tim, when he heard a bunch of screams.

"AAAAH!"

"BEAST!"

"SAVE ME!"

Tim seemed to have stumbled upon some humans. Lin Wu immediately rushed after him, as he could tell from the screams, that they were of children. Lin Wu reached Tim's position in just ten seconds and saw the scene.

Tim had caught four kids that seemed to be between the ages of ten to fourteen. They were scared to no end but were uninjured. Tim had merely caught them with his claws and was holding them up in the air.

"What're you doing?" Lin Wu's voice could be heard.

With the snow, the visibility was low, so the children could only see Tim in front of them. Thus, when they heard the strange distorted voice, they were shocked. They looked towards the source of the voice and could see a vague silhouette that towered over them.

It was simply massive compared to their size and they couldn't even see its top.

"Heavens it's a monster!… Grandpa! Father! Uncle! Save me!" one of the kids cried out loud.

The other kids were too scared to even scream now, and were silent.

~WHOOSH~

The silhouette in the snow became clear as it got closer and Lin Wu's figure finally became visible to them.

The kids had first thought that Tim alone was a big beast, but now they had come across a beast bigger than they had ever seen before. It was simply unfathomable to them and monster was the only way they could describe it.

"SAVE US!!!" The kid cried out again, but this time he also pulled out a pendant that seemed to be hanging from his neck.

He held the pendant and it automatically activated.

~SHUA~

A light glowed on it before a streak of energy escaped the pendant.

~DING~

'No… let it go. I wanna see who comes…' Lin Wu was now intrigued.

By now Lin Wu had understood that the children in front of him weren't simple. Just the fact that they were out in freezing cold like that was strange. After all, even if they were cultivators, it was still something that was too much for them.

Though Lin Wu could see that they were wearing some special kind of robes. Not only were they thick, but they also had spirit Qi fluctuations coming from them.

'But that kid… the pendant is a high grade Alarming Talisman.' Lin Wu identified.

Something like that was not something just any child would have. Even core condensation realm cultivators might find it difficult to buy one of those.

Thus Lin Wu waited but did inform Tim to not do anything to the kids. Though he wasn't doing anything in the first place, he had simply caught them since he had found them to have appeared without being sensed by Tim.

~SHUA~ SHUA~

And surely, just a minute later, several streaks of light could be seen approaching from the distance.

"WHO DARES TOUCH MY GRANDSON!" A loud shout could be heard.

Lin Wu looked towards it and couldn't help but smile.

"Just as I thought… The king himself comes." Lin Wu muttered, not worried at all.

In a few seconds, all of them had arrived and finally witnessed Lin Wu as well as Tim.

Seeing the colossal being in front of them, their drive had fizzled out.
