Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 460 - The Surprised Ape Kings



The moment Lin Wu had gotten close to the main cave of the two ape kings, they had sensed his presence. But what they had not expected was for it to be overpowering for them.

"Father… this beast…" The Demon spine ape spoke.

"Keep your calm. We had expected his bloodline to be powerful. But now we have the estimate of just how powerful it is." The Slim Arm Ape replied.

The Demon spine ape lowered his head and thought for a bit before looking at his father again.

"How does his bloodline compare to my bloodline then… no rather mother's own bloodline?" The Demon Spine Ape questioned.

"Hmm… that is a bit hard to tell. But just compared to you, I fear his bloodline might be far more superior. Even the Olive Viper King seems to be inferior to him now and he supposedly has the same bloodline as him." The Slim Arm Ape answered.

"And what about my mother's pure bloodline?" the Demon Spine Ape Questioned.

"Her bloodline is something far more special. Even in you, it is only partially awakened. I don't know why she chose me as her mate and gave birth to you, but I reckon her bloodline might have been the reason behind it as well.

As of now, I think both of their bloodlines might be comparable, since I felt quite pressured in her presence as well. She had to intentionally lower her spirit Qi when she was around me." The Slim Arm Ape questioned.

"Lower her spirit Qi? Just what was her cultivation base?" The Demon Spike ape asked.

~Sigh~

The Slim Arm Ape sighed in response to this, as if some painful memories had popped up for him.

"Now that you are a ruler and in the Nascent Soul realm, I guess I can tell you more about it. You mother… Was at the Dao Treading realm." The Slim Arm Ape revealed.

"WHAT!?" The Demon Spine ape was astounded to say the least upon hearing this.

"Enough of this for now. We have to attend to the guest." The Slim Arm ape quickly said. "We'll talk about this later." He added.

The Demon spine ape nodded his head and then the two of them headed towards the entrance of the cave where Lin Wu was waiting.

"He has indeed broken through to the Adolescent Soul stage of the Nascent Soul realm now…" The Slim Arm Ape muttered to himself.

Lin Wu, who saw the two beast kings, waved his tail in greeting.

"Greetings, I came to check up on how things are going." Lin Wu stated.

"Very well. Please come in, we can talk in a bit more comfort." The Slim Arm Ape replied.

"Okay," Lin Wu said before entering the cave and following behind the two ape kings.

He could tell that the cave was certainly a bit modified to suit the living area of a human. There were shelves, tables and even some paintings that were hanging on the walls.

'Oh, so he does have a taste for the human lifestyle.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

Further in, he could see several other monkey beasts, carrying things around and doing tasks, like cleaning and transporting. Seeing the ease with which they were doing things, Lin Wu was even more tempted to get a few for himself.

"I have to say, having subordinates that can do a bit more complex tasks like this is rather good." Lin Wu spoke.

"Ahaha, yes. They are a bit dumb at times, but they can get some simple tasks done." The Slim Arm Ape king replied.

"If you don't mind… I'd like to take some of your subordinates under me. I would of course, compensate you for it too." Lin Wu proposed the question.

The Demon Spine Ape and the Slim Arm Ape raised their brows upon hearing this. They had not expected such a request and didn't know what to think of it.

"What do we say, father?" the Demon Spine ape asked in a low voice and in a different human language.

The slim arm ape king had taught him this exactly for situations like these and it was certainly coming in handy now. Unknown to them, Lin Wu could pretty much understand every human language and dialect of this continent, due to the help of the system.

He, of course, didn't show like he knew and kept his oblivious expression since he wanted to know how the two will react to this.

'Will they be angry or fine with it?' Lin Wu wondered.

"It shouldn't be a problem. We can send some to his place, perhaps it might even win a bit of his favor." The Slim Arm Ape king replied to the Demon spine ape.

Finally, he turned to Lin Wu and spoke, "you can take some. But they will need to agree to it as well as I won't force them." 

"Sure. I'll make sure that it's worth their time." Lin Wu replied, feeling more confident.

He knew that with the temptation of growing one's bloodline, nearly every beast would want to join him. After all, there were hundreds of other beasts who had joined under the servant beasts, with far fewer promises than that.

The three of them finally reached the final destination, which was a large hall, carved out in the cave. There were low seats and tables set up, with some plates with fruits and meat put on them.

Lin Wu could even see the cushions there and knew that these were probably traded with the humans. He had known that the Slim Arm ape had interactions with humans before and had even helped them out a few times when they stumbled in the forest.

Generally, as long as they didn't do anything to harm him or his subordination, he would protect them from the other rulers. Of course, there were other exceptions to this, but those were not necessary most of the time.

The two ape kings took a seat, while Lin Wu simply coiled and sat at the other end of the table.
