Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Lin Wu had questioned the two beasts, but they still seemed to be in shock and had not answered him yet.

"I asked, why were you two fighting?" Lin Wu questioned again.

Finally this time, it looked like the beasts were able to calm down a bit. Perhaps it was because Lin Wu had not attacked them the entire time, or just because of the fear.

"Lo-lord serpent… I-We… We were fighting for the nesting area." The mole beast finally spoke.

Lin Wu heard its voice, which sounded like that of a young man.

'Is this due to the system's translation or is this how it would sound to other beasts?' Lin Wu wondered.

"Yes, Lord serpent… we were fighting for the new territory." The Beetle beast also spoke up.

Unlike the mole's voice, the voice of the beetle beast was that of a middle aged woman. He was surprised by this variation and added another task to his list, which was to ask the system about the different kinds of voices.

"Oh, I see… And is this why you are in the third ring, instead of the fourth ring?" Lin Wu questioned.

"Yes. The one who wins will get to move to the fourth ring and take over the territory." The mole beast answered.

"That means you two recently reached the core condensation realm, right?" Lin Wu asked.

"Yes, lord serpent. I reached the early stage of the core condensation realm a month ago, after a hundred and six years of effort." The beetle beast stated.

"And I reached the early stage of the core condensation realm two weeks ago after ninety one years of effort." The mole beast said with a little bit of pride in his voice.

The beetle beast seemed to have gotten a bit angry because of the mole beasts boasting.

"I'm the older I should have been the one to get it. You juniors should be respectful and give it up." The beetle beast said.

"Hah! What nonsense, I'm more talented, so I should be the one to get the territory." The mole beast replied. 

"Oh, really? Don't forget that my ancestor is one of the five kings of the forest!" The beetle beast said, trying to intimidate.

The mole beast seemed both angry and a bit wary of the beetle beast's words. Lin Wu meanwhile was hearing their conversation with interest. He had actually learned quite a bit from their short conversation than he had expected. The two beasts had also forgotten about the situation they were in a little while ago.

"So that Adolescent stage Nascent Soul realm Split Thorn Horn beast is really your ancestor?" Lin Wu questioned with interest.

The beetle beast seemed to be shocked after hearing Lin Wu's words.

"Lord serpent knows my ancestor?" The beetle beast spoke with a bit of surprise in his voice.

"Of course lord serpent knows him, you smelly bug." The mole insulted. "A subordinate of the second ruler of the forest will definitely know him." He continued.

"Don't speak like that to me or I'll stab that heart of yours with my horn." The beetle beast replied.

"Wait, a minute! What did you say? Whose subordinate?" Lin Wu suddenly questioned hearing the words of the mole beast.

The two beasts finally became alert after hearing the question of Lin Wu. In their argument, they had forgotten the danger that was right in front of them.

"Lord Serpent forgive me, I should have called the Olive Viper King with respect." The mole beast suddenly said as it almost buried its head into the ground.

"Explain properly to me, who is this Olive Viper king you're talking about." Lin Wu asked but then realized another part. "And why are you calling me Lord serpent? I am a wo-" Lin Wu held his tongue at the end.

Being called a serpent at least sounded better than being called a worm. Though he still wondered how the mole beast was confused about this.

"Lord serpent, you're not related to the Olive Viper king? I thought you were his subordinate… wait, you should be, you have the same aura as them." The mole beast replied, but then saw the glowing crimson red eyes of Lin Wu and shut up.

"Let me explain Lord Serpent, this dumb mole has no idea how to respect his superiors. The Olive Viper King is the second ruler of the forest. He is the strongest beast after the Twin Light Liger King. The Olive Viper King recently became one of the rulers of the forest, about two years ago." The beetle beast explained.

"Is that so… Hmm." Lin Wu muttered as he thought about it.

"And what is this about me having the same aura as that of the Olive Viper King?" Lin Wu questioned.

"My Lord, I've had the honor of seeing the Olive Viper King before and he had the same aura as you. I thought that you were either his descendant or a subordinate." The mole beast answered.

'Same aura? Descendant? What is all this… wait! That Olive viper king it became the ruler only two years ago… could it be related to the meteor too?' Lin Wu thought.

"The Olive Viper King, what was his strength like before he became the second ruler?" Lin Wu questioned.

"The Olive Viper King was once a peak stage core condensation realm beast that lived in the fifth ring of the forest. But about two years ago, when the great disaster happened and stars fell from the sky, the Olive Viper King had a fortunate encounter and grew in strength quickly reaching the Adolescent stage of the Nascent soul realm.

Even the Twin Lights Liger King is wary of the Olive Viper King and has already had a few battles with him." The Mole beast explained.

Lin Wu was lost in thought after hearing the explanation and knew that it was definitely related to the meteor, seeing as how the mole beast talked about 'falling stars'.

'Didn't expect to find another clue to that beast here…'
