Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

"You… came here to seek out our tribe?" The leader of the Grass Mane Monkeys narrowed its brows and became nervous.

"I did indeed." Lin Wu replied. "I am here to ask you to join my kingdom."

"Your kingdom? Why should we leave our home and join it?" the leader of the Grass Mane Monkeys asked carefully.

So far he had seen that, Lin Wu didn't seem to be violent and forcing them. Since he was still talking, the leader thought that there was a chance for a proper conversation.

"There are several reasons, but I think the one that's the most concerning for you is the location of this minor plane. Your home has been exposed, and I don't think you want more humans coming here, do you?" Lin Wu replied.

"This…" the leader of the Grass Mane Monkeys swallowed its saliva.

It was the thing he had been concerned about for a while and was confused as to what they would do. The humans who had come were quite strong and had killed a few of their kin while they were unable to do anything to them.

"I can smell the scent of blood. How many of your kin were killed?" Lin Wu questioned even if he already knew.

"Eight… they killed eight of our kin." The leader of the Grass Mane Monkeys answered.

"Hmm… do you wish for this to happen again or do you wish to take revenge?" Lin Wu replied. "I can offer you the strength needed to exact your vengeance." He said with a smile.

"How can I believe you?" leader of the Grass Mane Monkeys said with a little courage.

"Why don't I just show you?" Lin Wu said before a wave of energy spread from his body.

~HUMM~

A pressure exuded from his body that made all the Grass Mane Monkey's feel weak.

"Enough! Enough! We yield!" The leader of the Grass Mane Monkeys hurriedly replied, knowing that the bloodline suppression from Lin Wu could easily kill them.

~shua~

Lin Wu quickly withdrew his aura and let the Grass Mane Monkey's relax.

Once the leader of the Grass Mane Monkeys was calm too, he looked up to Lin Wu and asked, "what do we need to give you in return? You aren't doing this for free, are you?"

"I do want something." Lin Wu replied. "Give me the corpses of those that were killed. That's all."

"Just the corpses?" The leader of the Grass Mane Monkeys was surprised.

He had thought that Lin Wu wanted a lot more, but if it was just corpses, he didn't mind.

"You're fine with that?" Lin Wu asked.

"Yes… we assimilate with the forest after our death anyways." The leader of the Grass Mane Monkeys said.

"Oh?" Lin Wu decided to take a look and spread his spirit sense.

Some distance from the lake, he saw a small grove where corpse of the Grass Mane Monkey's were lying around. They were covered in vines and it looked like the forest was trying to reclaim them.

'Hmm… this might be due to the potent wood Qi within their bodies. It is quite useful to the forest after all…' Lin Wu thought to himself.

"Just the corpses are enough for me. I'll guide your tribe to my kingdom." Lin Wu stated. "Don't worry, you'll find several other beasts of your kind there too." He added.

"Beasts of our kind?" The leader of the Grass Mane Monkeys was a bit confused.

"Yes, monkey beasts and ape beasts." Lin Wu replied. "In fact, they are among my highest ranked subordinates." He added.

"I see…" the leader of the Grass Mane Monkeys was now looking forward to it.

"Gather your tribe and anything else you need. We'll depart as soon as you're done." Lin Wu ordered them.

"Alright." The leader of the Grass Mane Monkeys was convinced by this time.

And while the Grass Mane Monkey's got ready, Lin Wu let the system do a deep scan on the area. He wanted to see if there was anything else that could be of use to him.

'Hmm… at least there are some useful materials here. I may as well take them.' Lin Wu decided and left for a bit.

He quickly drilled into the ground and followed the system to get the minerals. These could be used to make spirit tools and weapons, as well as for arrays. It took Lin Wu an hour or so to gather everything of value in the plane and return to the tribe of the Grass Mane Monkey's.

"We are ready." The leader of the Grass Mane Monkeys said before pointing to the corpses of their dead kin that were placed on large leaves. "You can take them."

Lin Wu simply nodded his head and stored the corpses in his storage. He didn't think eating them in front of the Grass Mane Moneys would be good. He wanted them to be cordial to him after all, as it would be a lot better than having enmity.

~SHUA~

Once that was done, Lin Wu withdrew a rock platform from his storage.

"Everyone get on this." Lin Wu ordered.

~KIKIKIKI~

The leader of the Grass Mane Monkeys got his kin to jump onto the rock platform, which then started to float under Lin Wu's control.

The rock platform was actually a replica of the rock platform that Lin Wu had gotten from the temple of the Vermillion sect a long time ago. It wasn't the only replica either, as Lin Wu's subordinates had several such platforms with them.

They were used as transportation tools and were relatively easier to make. The system had optimized the arrays used to make the original platform and made it so that most formation masters could now make them.

Lin Wu was also intended to turn it into a transportation tool that could be sold by his kingdom. It could become a very good source of income too. He had handed this task to his subordinates and the contract for sale was given to none other than Elder Kai Li!
