Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 1081  Clue To The Unknown Beast

There were very few objects that the System was unable to scan. All of them were those that were either not from this world, or beyond the database that it had. And this was a very rare instance, especially after the system had obtained data from not just the Skull God, but also the libraries of the Guardian clan. Thus, Lin Wu was very interested in what this unknown object could be. While the system did its work, he too observed it closely, wondering if there were some clues as to what it could be. Since his Spirit sense could not pick up on it and simply passed through it, he observed it through other means.

First, he just took a simple look at it with his eyes.

The object looked like a circular plate that did not have a perfect circle shape. Rather it was a bit oblong and oval in shape as if someone had smoothed out the corners of a hexagon. It wasn't fully flat either when Lin Wu observed it from the side.

It looked to be flat, but there was a slight curvature to it. The plate was about one centimeter thick and was also relatively light. It had a slate grey color with some black mixed in. The plate was lightest in the center and got darker as one got to the edges.

~tap~tap~

In order to figure out the material. Lin Wu tapped on it and heard a dull metallic sound. ~shing~

Next he created a sharp claw from one of his tentacles and tried to scratch the object.

~CREAK~

A creaking sound was heard, but there was no scratch left behind on the plate.

"It is certainly hard and tough… for my claws to not leave a mark… have to try harder." Lin Wu muttered and used greater pressure.

~SCREECH~

This time, he finally left a mark on the plate, though it was rather shallow. It looked the same as when someone had scratched some dry skin, leaving a faint mark.

'This amount of force would be enough to break refined Black Iron… Whatever this plate is made of, it is not normal…' Lin Wu confirmed.

Done with his physical tests, Lin Wu moved on to more visual tests. But this time around, he used his Radiation perception!

~shua~

His vision changed and he gazed at the unknown plate.

"Wait, a second…" But much to his surprise, the plate seemed to be 'invisible' in his Radiation Perception too. "No wait… its not invisible, it's simply absorbing all the Radiation!" Lin Wu understood.

And just as he came to this conclusion, the system also finished its work.

~DING~

——

SCAN: Completed

ANALYSIS: The unknown plate has 93.88% similarity to the unknown beast. The host's carapace has a 67% similarity to this plate!

CONCLUSION: There is a 99.6% chance this is a carapace fragment from the unknown beast!

As soon as Lin Wu saw this, his hundreds of eyes went wide.

"That beast?" Lin Wu became still for a moment before a wide smile finally appeared on his face. "Finally… more clues to that sneaky rat!" he exclaimed.

Lin Wu had been looking for the unknown beast for years and still had the quest he needed to finish. He knew that only by consuming the beast would he fully unlock the potential of his bloodline and lead it to the next level.

And after seeing the properties of the carapace fragment, Lin Wu was sure he would get some new abilities by doing this too.

"If this Carapace Fragment is here, it means someone must have picked it up. And if they managed to pick it up, it only means the beast was here…" Lin Wu said, his mind racing with thoughts.

He had already searched the entirety of the Long Continent and the Hu Continent. He had people informing him of all that would happen on the two lands, as well as any sign of such a peculiar beast. And since the beast had spatial abilities that allowed it to enter the void, it made chasing after it very hard.

Lin Wu had lost its tracks in the Hu Continent and had been looking for them ever since.

'Looks like this visit to the Gui Continent is turning out to be even better than I thought.' Lin Wu felt pleased and made a new target in his mind.

He knew that if he were to find the unknown beast, the best way to obtain information was none other than the main clan of the Gui Continent. The guardian Gui clan!

"The two goals match, but I'll still need to obtain information from the Gui clan in a different way. I don't think they'll give it to me readily, even if they have it." Lin Wu muttered. "Just means the Calamity Fiend needs to terrify the clan more!" he said before flying into the sky.

~WHOOSH~

"Wait for me," Tim followed after Lin Wu and the two continued their search.

Lin Wu decided to find the Purple Crested Orchid, while waiting for more news about the Gui Clan. He knew the survivors would spread the news about the destruction of Icy Swan city soon. He hoped that the members of the Gui Clan would hear this and report to their clan.

And once they did, Lin Wu would be able to find them out too. 'I'll strike the other settlement on my way. Perhaps I'll find clues to either of my goals.' Lin Wu reckoned.

In the coming month, Lin Wu and Tim wreaked havoc across the Gui Continent.

They destroyed city after city, town after town, consuming their inhabitants while also taking away all the wealth and resources they had.

But the most surprising part was that the number of survivors actually rose as the attacks went on. Lin Wu intentionally let them survive and escape so that the terror of the Calamity Fiend would spread more and more.

And after the month of attack, the Calamity fiend seemingly disappeared, and a time of unsettling calm arrived.
