Chapter 563 - The Expanding Subordinates List

The Twin Lights Liger King was intrigued upon hearing this. He realized that perhaps he had not spent enough attention on learning about the formations here, despite being here for hundreds of years.

And yet, Lin Wu who had been here for a mere twelve years, had managed to learn about them. Though what the Twin Lights Liger King did not know was the of these twelve years, Lin Wu had only been active for a little over a year.

The rest of the time he had to spend in a state of sleep and hibernation.

"Also, you can use them to teleport around the forest. They are fully functional now and you can get to anywhere in the forest as long as it's within the fifth ring." Lin Wu added.

While the teleportation formation could take Lin Wu as far as beyond the Deer Wood city, he had it set differently for the servants and subordinates. Since each use needed spirit Qi, he did not want it to exceed beyond what could be handled by the formation.

A couple of them teleporting around was fine, but if all of them started to do this, the formation's spirit Qi supply might not be able to keep up. That's why he had reduced the maximum range in which they could teleport.

Of course, if the need arises, Lin Wu could change it at any moment. That way, if he wanted, he could summon the entire group of beasts anywhere within the range of the formation.

He only imagined how impressive it would be to turn up with an army of Nascent soul realm beasts when there was a small enemy causing a problem in one of the areas. He also did this because he knew just how the humans could plot and strategize.

This way, quick transportation could allow them to move around more efficiently and overcome the flaws.

The Twin Lights Liger King was truly impressed now and wanted to use the teleportation formation to get out of the Dark Bloom Caverns. After all, they were quite deep, and getting out manually would take them a day.

Of course, this was for the Twin Lights Liger King, for Lin Wu now that he knew the map and the locations of things, he could just dig straight to wherever he wanted to go.

"How do I use the teleportation formation?" The Twin Lights Liger King asked like a child eager to try out a new toy.

"It's simple. Just imagine where you want to go and will yourself use the Emeraldine Legion bloodline as the link. The teleportation formation should activate on its own." Lin Wu explained.

"Okay… let's try." The Twin Lights Liger King said and used the method.

~shua~

"Oh! It's working!" The Twin Lights Liger King said as the runes surrounded him.

Then in the next moment, he disappeared in a flash of light. Lin Wu checked on the map and saw that he had gone to meet up with his subordinates just like he had directed him to. Lin Wu nodded his head and thought that he should get to his work, too.

"Hmm… since I'm here, I may as well make a direct route to the Tomb now. The tunnel shouldn't take that long…" Lin Wu muttered to himself.

"Alright system, plot the best route for a tunnel." Lin Wu ordered.

~DING~

——

ANALYZING MAP: Please wait a moment…

ANALYSIS COMPLETED: Plotting the route on the map

——

Lin Wu saw the new route, which was actually not straight. He zoomed in and saw that some of the formation's nodes were present in those areas and thus they needed to be avoided. 

Still, the distance was short enough for him and it wouldn't take him that long to complete it.

"Here we go!" Lin Wu said as he turned on the navigation and switched to his drill form.

~humm~

~Rumble~

~Crack~

Lin Wu's body changed its shape and his head became like a long drill that easily pierced the walls of the cave. He moved swiftly through the dirt and rocks and followed the navigation HUD.

About two hours later, he reached one of the halls under the Taiji Celestials tomb and was done making the tunnel.

"And there we go. Another task is done. The tunnel should come in handy when moving things." Lin Wu said to himself.

Done with this, Lin Wu now wanted to add the other rulers as his subordinates. Thus, without wasting any time, he teleported away to the territory of the Split Thorn Horn Beetle King.

The Beetle King sensed his presence immediately and awakened. 

~Tremble~

His large body caused the ground to shake as he moved and appeared from the nest.

"King Lin Wu, to what do I owe this visit?" The Split Thorn Horn Beetle King questioned.

"Well, since you are now my subordinate, I am here to make it official." Lin Wu answered.

"I see… so what do I have to do for that?" The Split Thorn Horn beetle King questioned.

"Nothing much. Just stay still and don't move. It will be over quickly." Lin Wu replied.

The Beetle King was a bit confused, but did as Lin Wu asked. And just as he had said, the entire thing was over quickly and Lin Wu had added another subordinate to his list. Of course, Lin Wu also gave a short explanation of what the Beetle king could now do and let him explore on his own.

Lin Wu then teleported away to the territory of the two ape kings.

~shua~

"Eeeekeeek!" The Monkey beasts were a bit startled due to Lin Wu's sudden appearance and ran away in fear.

The Slim Arm Ape King and the Demon Spine ape king detected him and wondered what he was here for.

"Seems like he's here to see what the phenomena earlier was." The Slim Arm ape king said, referring to the process in which Lin Wu added the new bloodline chains.

The Demon Spine Ape King was still lying on the bed, as his condition was still weak.
