Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 1080  A Strange Finding

The system was already gathering information from the elder that Lin Wu had just consumed and was ready to give it.

"Let's eat all of them first though." Lin Wu muttered to himself before continuing his attack.

His tentacles flew at a blinding speed, blocking the two elders that were trying to run away. They tried to defend, but their attacks were useless against the tentacles that looked to be impervious to heat and cold.

A few seconds later, the two elders succumbed to the tentacles and were promptly pulled into Lin Wu's mouth for quick processing.

"There we go… Now just to add a few more people." Lin Wu targeted half of the Nascent soul cultivators of the city and devoured them all.

As for the other half, he let them go as he knew they would have the best chance at spreading the news of his arrival.

About ten minutes later, Icy Swan City had become deserted.

Those that were lucky enough to be at the outskirts of the city managed to escape in time, while those that were close to the center mostly ended up being consumed by the monster that had appeared.

Overall, about ten percent of the City's population managed to escape.

Of course, if Lin Wu wished to, he could easily chase them down and eat them. But he wanted them to run as far as possible and spread the news of his arrival.

"Now to gather the spoils of war." Lin Wu smiled before calling out. "Tim! Come over!"

~WHOOSH~

~CRASH~

The weasel seemed to be bait too overenthusiastic and ended up overshooting his landing. With his speed, he crashed into eight buildings in a row before stopping.

~Sigh~

"Guess that's just eight more broken buildings added to a hundred more." Lin Wu shook his head.

"I'm here!" Tim shook off the dust from him and came to stand in front of Lin Wu.

"Look for anything that seems strange to you. And I don't mean food or obvious cultivation things." Lin Wu ordered.

"Okay!" the weasel replied and quickly went off to scour the city.

'With his unique senses, perhaps he might be able to find something I missed,' Lin Wu thought to himself.

With Tim being the reincarnation of a Yellow Dragon, Lin Wu was hoping to have some luck on his side.

And while Tim did that, Lin Wu also started gathering the useful items from the crumbling city. He stored the cultivation resources in the Spatial Storage while also gathering all the documents. While the system had already scanned and gathered the information from And while Lin Wu's tentacles gathered all this, the system was also ready with the information from the dead elders as well as all the them, Lin Wu was intending to pass the documents to Cang Ci.

She was now handling administrative things, and thought it would help her.

And while Lin Wu's tentacles gathered all this, the system was also ready with the information from the dead elders as well as all the others that he had consumed.

~DING~

NOTIFICATION: Absorbing Data nodes!

In the next second, Lin Wu felt a surge of information and memories in his mind. The system had already sorted them out, thus it was easy for Lin Wu to go through them. The most important ones were placed at the very start, allowing him to see them quickly.

'Oh? So there is indeed a way to inform the Gui clan.' Lin Wu learned. "A blue token, huh…" he muttered, seeing the appearance in his mind.

He turned to look towards the residence of the elders and his spirit sense quickly found the said object.

~WHOOSH~

One of the tentacles extended and effortlessly bypassed the barrier that protected the said token. It was kept in a small stone box that was carved with a few tribal motifs.

"Let's see…" Lin Wu opened the box and saw the small blue token lying in it.

The token was in the shape of a tortoiseshell and had the character for 'Gui' imprinted on it.

"System, scan it." Lin Wu ordered.

~DING~

Target: Token

Scan: Completed!

Info: The token is a one way communication tool and can be used to contact the Gui Clan in emergencies.

——

Seeing the information though, Lin Wu was a bit confused.

"If they could contact the clan this way, why didn't they do it now?" Lin Wu wondered.

After all, it didn't make sense for the elders to ask the people to inform the Gui Clan themselves.

But a moment later, another window popped up in front of Lin Wu. The system already knew the reason for that.

~DING~

——

ANSWER: The Gui Clan has been put under lockdown for the past year and all contact has been cut off. The only way to contact them is through a few Gui Clansmen who are still spread outside. The reason for the lockdown is not known, though.

——

"Hmm… no wonder." Lin Wu muttered. "System, can you find the location of the Gui clan through this token?"

~DING~

——

ANSWER: The communication has been blocked by the Gui Clan, thus the exact location cannot be tracked. But a wide area can still be estimated.

——

"Mmm, do that then. We'll be getting our answer later anyways." Lin Wu replied.

While the system worked on that, Lin Wu finished up gathering all the items. It took him about thirty minutes, after which Tim also came up to it.

"Did you find something?" Lin Wu asked, seeing the beast.

"This," Tim put down an object that was about the size of a small shield.

"Huh?" Lin Wu looked at the object, which was a bit flat.

It looked like it was made from metal, but Lin Wu could tell it wasn't.

"What is this?" Lin Wu scanned it with his spirit sense and realized something surprising. "What! My Spirit sense can't detect it?" he was shocked.

Despite the object being right in front of him, his immortal sense simply passed through it, as if the object didn't exist!

SCANNER: Activated

"System, scan this!" Lin Wu ordered right away.

~DING~

——

SCANNER: Activated

SCANNING: please wait patiently…

——

Lin Wu felt strange as it had been a long time since the System had been unable to scan an object.
