Rise Of The Worm Sovereign-Chapter 1020 Plant Benefits?

"Hmm… this is rather good." Lin Wu muttered to himself as he gazed at his new tentacle.

Though it might be more accurate to call it a branch now.

It looked like a branch was now growing out of Lin Wu's body and looked just like a tree branch. It had rough bark on it and was irregularly shaped.

Lin Wu tried to move it and found it to be a bit stiff.

'Hmm… this thickness of bark isn't good for moment.' Lin Wu realized before controlling his innate skill again.

The bark shrank down and became half as thick as before.

~Creak~

This time Lin Wu could move the branch a lot better, though creaking sounds also accompanied it showing that the wood was being strained.

Lin Wu continued to do a few more tests, such as completely removing the bark and only using Plant Stem Generation. It made for a very flexible branch that could even be turned into a vine.

At that point, its function was almost the same as Lin Wu's tentacles.

But in all this, Lin Wu realized another thing.

"While I may be able to generate bark and stems… I can't make leaves." He saw an important part being unavailable.

Lin Wu then thinned the branches and made them a lot more narrow.

"I can emulate the roots at least, but they won't function as one." Lin Wu was thinking of the various ways he would be using the new sub skill addition.

His avatar had a great advantage in disguising and thus adding more variations was only beneficial to him.

Lin Wu could easily imagine creating an entire forest, and then ambushing enemies once they were inside it. Since the branches and stems he made exuded no beastly aura or and seemed the same as plants, it was very easy for him to disguise.

'Though I need to get the Leaf Generation skill too… then there is also the flower generation and maybe even fruit generation?' Lin Wu thought of the various sub skills that could appear.

He wondered if he should seek out more plants or plant beast hybrids to further enhance his compatibility. And when he thought of this, he was suddenly reminded of something.

"Hang on a second… didn't I have something like that?" Lin Wu recalled something he had collected when he had found Tian Chu and Tian Han.

'The Millennium Parrot Bamboo Eggs… they are technically a plant hybrid too, right?' Lin Wu recalled.

These eggs could give birth to a bamboo spirit, which would be very beneficial to the growth of spirit herbs and more. Lin Wu had collected several of these and had kept them in the tomb to be incubated.

Since they had a very low chance of hatching, Lin Wu had simply focused on numbers, hoping that at least one or two might be hatched.

"Though none of them have hatched so far…" Lin Wu looked at the monitoring window that had just appeared.

On it he could see several tens of Millennium Parrot Bamboo Eggs that were being incubated in an array that provided them with plenty of wood elemental spirit Qi as well as some water elemental spirit Qi.

These two were beneficial to them and the system had said that it would increase the chances of them hatching.

But even after all these years, none of them had hatched.

"Hmm… should I wait for them?" Lin Wu debated for a minute, but then shook his head. "Never mind, I'll have more chances in the future. And it's not like I'm desperate for the new sub skills." He said to himself. 𝙛𝚛𝙚ewe𝗯𝓃𝗼ѵ𝚎Ɩ.𝒄ｏ𝐦

If anything, the Bamboo Spirits might bring him a lot more benefits than what consuming them might bring.

"There should also be other such plant hybrid beasts right, system?" Lin Wu questioned.

~DING~

DATA: Plant beast hybrids

1. Sun Tipped Crane

2. Grass Mane Monkey

3. Purple Crested Orchid

NOTE: All the above beasts are relevant to the Mind Dao world and have been seen before.

——

Seeing the results, Lin Wu was a bit disappointed.

"Just three such beasts… they're rare I guess." Lin Wu muttered to himself as he checked the detailed information about the beasts.

~DING~

——

TARGET: Sun Tipped Crane

INFO: A crane beast that absorbs sunlight through its feathers. It can reach Dao Shell realm and is occasionally seen in the western valleys of Hu Continent.

.

TARGET: Grass Mane Monkey

INFO: A rare type of monkey beast that has grass growing from its neck. It used to live in various places in the Long Continent as well as the Hu continent, but was driven to extinction due to constant hunting by the invaders in the past.

The grass growing on its mane is a potent wood elemental tonic and is useful in stabilizing alchemical pills during refinement.

.

TARGET: Purple Crested Orchid

INFO: A deadly plant beast found in the frozen hinterlands of the Gui Continent. Its flowers are carnivorous and its venom is strong enough to kill even Dao Treading realm of cultivators and beasts.

——

After reading the information of the three beasts, Lin Wu knew which ones he could go for first.

'Hmmm… The Sun Tipped Crane seems like the one I'll most likely be able to get first. I'll get Hu Dagao to search for them. The same will be done for the Grass Mane Monkey, though I should also give a similar order for the Long continent.' Lin Wu thought about it.

"As for the Purple Crested Orchid… it isn't exactly rare and does have a specific location for it so it isn't gonna run away. I'll get to it when I'm on the Gui continent." Lin Wu decided.

With this done, Lin Wu quickly sent out his orders. The first people to get the orders were his subordinates in the millennium forest.

Lin Wu though, told them to see if they could find several of the Grass Mane Monkeys. If they could find at least a pair, Lin Wu would let them increase their numbers before consuming one of them.

'Plus, it would be good to increase the number of monkey beasts in the forest. They are quite adaptable after all.' Lin Wu reckoned.

The second one to get the next order was Hu Dagao. He too was told to see if he could find Grass Mane Monkeys, and was also told to note for the appearance of a Sun Tipped Crane. The man was very prompt and only sent one word in reply, "affirmative."

It made Lin Wu think of the system for a moment and made him chuckle.

Done with this, Lin Wu observed his Dao Embryo.

The Helix of Assimilation still seemed to be growing and the effect from the consumption of the beasts and other materials was still running.

"This should take a few more hours to stabilize." Lin Wu reckoned.

After all, the Dao Embryo was an independent existence and wouldn't be as fast as system in showing response.

Lin Wu simply read through other information in this time and let it all happen. But after three hours or so, he felt something new.

"Mmm?" he suddenly felt like he could sense something new around him. "What's this?" Lin Wu narrowed his eyes as his radiation perception activated.

He could sense the various energies around him and in all this, he saw something that seemed to be colorless. But after modulating his perception a bit, he quickly saw that it was green in color.

"Dao Traces?" Lin Wu guessed. 'Wait a second… could it be?' he realized something.

"System, pull up the Dao Trace compatibility." He ordered.

~DING~

"Just as I thought!" Lin Wu saw the changes in his compatibilities.

The compatibility of both Wood and Water Dao Traces had risen. And Lin Wu had a good reason to believe it might be due to the Chimeric Adaption Innate Skill upgrading.

"Hmm… if I keep this up, will it be possible to make all of them reach a high level?" Lin Wu wondered as a new desire rose within him.

He already knew the kind of benefit he had by controlling several elements, thus he could only imagine what kind of benefit he would have if he had Dao Embryo's of all types!

"Looks like I need to research more in this direction…"
