Chapter 567 - The Guna Plains And A Dao Shell Realm Beast

"Another day to start anew!" Lin Wu said as he stretched his body.

Though when he checked the date, he was a bit surprised.

"Huh… I slept a week?" Lin Wu was surprised.

He now wondered what his normal sleep cycle was like. He knew that not all beasts follow the usual sleep cycle of just a night's or day's sleep. Some needed way more than that. 

"System, what's the recommended sleep time for me?" Lin Wu questioned.

~DING~

——

ANSWER: For the host, the recommended sleep time is one month. Though the host can function all year round without sleeping normally. Sleeping will still give the host better mental functioning.

Cultivation can serve as a replacement for sleep, too.

——

"Huh… that's neat." Lin Wu said. "Though a month's sleep time is definitely more than I expected. So what I took is just a nap." Lin Wu said to himself.

Having learned this, he decided to check out the things that he needed to do now.

"System, show me the list of tasks I made." Lin Wu ordered.

~Ding~

——

2. Deal with the trials (Completed)

——

"Huh, remove the ones that are complete and show me the location of the Tian clan." Lin Wu spoke.

~DING~

The list of tasks shortened significantly and then another window popped up that showed Lin Wu the location of the Tian clan. It was located to the south west of the Frozen Cloud sect and was further than he had thought.

"Hmm… guess I need to change the order of the tasks. I'll visit the Frozen Cloud sect and meet Wang Xiong and that fox masked man first, before heading to the Tian clan." Lin Wu decided.

~DING~

——

"Now that's better." Lin Wu said and then did some checks on the map before making a route.

"Alright, time to leave then." Lin Wu said and sent some messages to his servants, informing them that he would be leaving now.

His avatar would still be here to take care of any problems and he would be able to switch to it in an emergency. The avatar was cultivating when it was not in use by Lin Wu, so it was efficient.

'I should probably alternate between both the bodies to make the optimum use. That way both can cultivate and I will still get the other tasks done…' Lin Wu thought to himself.

~shua~

Runes appeared around him and formed the teleportation formation that sent him to the southern edge of the forest.

~thud~

His body landed on the ground, causing it to sink into it due to the weight.

"I need to improve my landing too… I think I squished a rabbit," Lin Wu said as he looked at the blood splattered underneath him.

He noted it in his mind and dug into the ground before switching to his drill form and making his way to the Frozen Cloud sect. Lin Wu's speed had improved a lot more than before and now he reckoned that it wouldn't take him more than a day to reach the Frozen Cloud sect.

Previously, he had to avoid several areas since they were inhabitable by strong humans or beasts that could pose problems to him, thus he took a longer route. But now he was at the Dao Shell realm and could deal with them if the problems arose.

Plus, his ability to dig deeper and through tougher materials meant that he could simply go in a straight line now. Lin Wu still kept on checking his map as it was updated at regular intervals.

The system kept on scanning and gathering new data as he passed over the new regions. This not only added to the data banks, but it also gave him a better understanding of the regions of the Long Continent.

During his journey, Lin Wu even came across the territory of a Dao Shell realm beast.

~DING~

——

DAO SHELL REALM BEAST DETECTED: Marking on map

——

"Oh? What area is this?" Lin Wu checked the map and saw that it was called as the Guna Plains.

The area was sparsely populated by plants and trees and most of it was an open area filled with grasses of various kinds and shrubs. The beasts and animals that lived here were those that would be found on plains like wild buffaloes, Deers, stags, antelopes, and horses.

As for the predators, there were a few of them, but all of them seemed to be rather strong and lived in their specific territories. 

"System, scan the beast." Lin Wu ordered.

~DING~

——

ACTIVATING SCANNER: Target selected

SCAN COMPLETED: Target identified

TARGET: Four Winged Guna Griffin 

CULTIVATION BASE: Shell Initiation Stage of the Dao Shell realm

INFO: The Four Winged Guna Griffin is one of the infamous beasts of the Guna plains and is known to hunt humans that intrude on its territory. They mostly hunt horses and buffalo beasts, plucking them from the ground, but won't hesitate to eat any other beast that dares to challenge them.

They live in groups of five to ten, with the strongest one being the leader. The average cultivation base of the beasts is in the Nascent Soul realm, though occasionally one of them might reach the Dao Shell realm.

The current beast is a specimen of that kind.

——

Reading the information, Lin Wu felt intrigued, but then continued on to his journey.

"I'll come to it later if the need arises…" Lin Wu muttered to himself.
